The Organization agrees with the finding and recommendation as outlined above. In November 2023, the Organization updated and communicated changes to the Federal Awards Policies and Procedures Manual to ensure all controls are adequate to ensure compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and Uniform Guidance requirements.

Explanation and Corrective Action Taken: The audit for the Year Ended June 30, 2021 was completed in June 2023 which has caused a rippling effect for subsequent audits to be late. The Fiscal Officer that was responsible for the June 30, 2021 audit did not prepare or provide the necessary financial information to the Auditors. That Fiscal Officer resigned in March 2022 and the position remained vacant until August 1st, 2022. In August 2022, the preceding Fiscal Officer was rehired. During their prior employment from February 2013 until March 2021 there were no audit findings. In addition to the Fiscal Officer position being vacant for five months, there was a new fiscal coordinator position created and the fiscal assistant position had gone through 3 staff members in less than three years. There are no staff at Human Response Network with accounting experience except for the Fiscal Officer and fiscal department of three. The rehired Fiscal Officer determined that many balance sheet accounts were not reconciled monthly. It was discovered that closing entries had not been done and the financial statements provided to the auditors were inaccurate. The accounts not reconciled included the following accounts: • Cash • Contracts Receivable to the General Ledger • Prepaid Expenses to Accrue Expenses • Depreciation / Property & Equipment Schedule • Accounts Payable Aging to the General Ledger • Deferred Revenue to the General Ledger The Fiscal Officer performed a thorough review of the allocation methodology, journal entries, and other accounting transactions to ensure that the transactions were recorded properly and pooled expenses were correctly allocated. There were a number of transactions that were not coded correctly. Pooled expenses were allocated correctly. The trial balance discrepancies from Fiscal Year 2021/22 were researched and reconciled and all the balance sheet accounts were reconciled. Transactions were re-coded to their correct account. The Fiscal Officer continues training staff on the proper procedures and use of the financial software. An audit engagement letter for 2021/22 was executed on September 15, 2023. The majority of information was provided to the Auditors between November 2023 and early February 2024. Scheduling conflicts prevented continued work on the audit until late-May 2024. Human Response Network agrees that monthly reconciliations of all general ledger and balance sheet accounts should be performed timely and accurately. As of August 2022, Human Response Network staff began reconciling accounts and projects on a regular basis as a part of the monthly closing process. Staff continue to receive ongoing training and mentoring by the experienced staff members.
