This will ensure that the institution counts the correctnumber of complete days for the calculation when there is a gap in enrollment and a schedule breakof five days or more. These measures will be in place beginning October 15, 2022. Due to the error,the student will be made whole using institutional funds.?

Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similarobservations are noted.The Assistant Director of Financial Aid will be responsible and may be held accountable if repeat orsimilar observations are noted.UNLV?UNLV agrees with this finding.? Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues inthe future, and when these measures will be in place:For context 1 (summer 2021), the student withdrawal occurred in FY 2021, with funds returned inAugust. This coincides with our 2020-2021 audit review, at which time many of the controlsdescribed in our response to findings for that year were in their early stages. Since summer 2021none of the identified issues that led to late fund returns have recurred.For context 2 (spring 2022), funds were returned one day late due to a failed transmission to theCommon Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. Normally when transmissions occur, anyrejected records are reviewed by the following day, in part to ensure that returns of funds are timely.In this particular instance, the file failed entirely and was never transmitted to COD at all, andtherefore no record was received of a file reject. Fortunately our own internal reconciliation controlsidentified the issue before even more time had passed.We regularly review records of when fund returns are processed in PeopleSoft to ensure reporting toCOD occurs within 45 days. In addition to our record of the PeopleSoft return date, we will nowtrack a second date to mark when the return record is accepted and reflected in COD. Thiscorrective action has been implemented as of October 10, 2022, and a review of fall 2022 R2T4returns to date indicates that all returns have been made within the 45-day timeframe.? How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit,management and performance review:Steps taken in prior years, including expanded training around R2T4, the addition of a staff memberto support the R2T4 process, and increasing internal controls, have been successful in remediatingthe issues that were previously identified. To control for the file transmission issue, the correctiveplan will be monitored by both the Assistant Director for Financial Aid Processing and the ExecutiveDirector of Financial Aid & Scholarships on a weekly basis. Notes from these reviews will berecorded for future audits. Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similarobservations are noted:The Assistant Vice President for Admissions & Financial Aid and the Executive Director forFinancial Aid & Scholarships will be responsible for ensuring ongoing compliance.

Dear Mr. Waguespack,We appreciate the opportunity afforded to review and respond to the revised audit finding regarding the "Weakness in Controls over Research and Development Project Closeouts and Accounting Records".Finding: Weakness in Controls over Research and Development Project Closeouts and Accounting RecordsManagement concurs with the finding listed in the report.Response to Finding and Corrective Actions:We agree with the finding that the audit identified ledger transactions incurred outside of 120 days from project end dates. Although LSUHSC-NO has made considerable progress in rectifying the weakness by implementing corrective plans identified in prior findings, significant turnover in departmental business managers and difficulty in recruiting personnel have impacted the complete resolution of the issue.Despite the considerable progress made, your office identified three (3) projects as being non-compliant. Of these projects, the FFR/final invoice was submitted within federal guidelines of 120 days. Thereafter, a credit was applied resulting in a revised FFR/final invoice and refund to the sponsor.It should be further noted that of the remaining seven (7) projects with control issues, none had questioned costs and are summarized below:? Four (4) projects had no effect on the Federal Financial Report (FFR) submitted or drawdown of funds. The expenditures included on the FFR and the requested funds were reasonable, allocable, allowable, and within the project closeout timeline.? One (1) project had transactions due to the month end indirect cost allocation process which was within the posting guidelines for the institution and within the period included in the 120 days .? Two (2) projects were authorized for an extension as supported by the documents provided to the auditor.LSUHSC-NO is committed to continued fiscal responsibility, partnership and training as evidenced by the following corrective actions:1) Sponsored Projects Accounting ("SPA") will initiate training for Departmental Business Managers and School Fiscal Deans to review single audit compliance requirements, project management, and SPA related reports and expectations.Responsible Personnel for #1: Sponsored Projects AccountingAnticipated Completion Date: June 30, 20232) Accounting Services will investigate the feasibility of implementing automated system controls in PeopleSoft to prevent costs from being charged to projects beyond close out periods or the feasibility of providing SPA with the authority to close out projects not addressed by the Schools in a timely manner.Responsible Personnel for #2: Executive Director of Accounting ServicesAnticipated Completion Date: December 31, 20233) In recognition of the significant turnover in Business Managers, LSUHSC-NO has increased the salaries of the departmental business managers to attract and retain effective team members. SPA has recently hired two new positions in response to the previous years' finding. Additionally, LSUHSC-NO will commit to hiring a third new position in SPA.The Director for Financial Reporting , Asset Management & Sponsored Projects Accounting position was recently created to provide a higher level oversight in the department. The director is reassessing the roles and responsibilities of the existing staff in the department and has identified opportunities for better utilization of the employees.Responsible Personnel for #3: Executive Director of Accounting ServicesAnticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2023Furthermore, LSUHSC -NO will continue the following ongoing corrective actions previously implemented:4) The Fiscal Dean of each School or his/her designee will continue to review and monitor departmental compliance with Chancellor Memorandum ("CM-21"), which includes the responsibilities of the required financial management of an individual project or group of projects.5) The Fiscal Dean of each School or his/her designee will ensure their Business Managers are properly trained on the following: monitoring budgets and timely collections of overruns, project closeout procedures, and account reconciliation in compliance with CM-21.Responsible Personnel for #4 and #5: School Fiscal DeansAnticipated Completion Date for #4 and #5: June 30, 20216) SPA will continue to provide PeopleSoft Financials error reports to applicable Business Managers and Fiscal Deans for immediate action with errors such as: projects with an end date that has passed, projects in deficit, or projects not setup to accept personnel expenses.Responsible Personnel for #6:Departmental Business Managers School Fiscal Deans Sponsored Projects AccountingAnticipated Completion Date for #6: February 20227) SPA will continue to escalate and follow-up on requests to correct projects with expenditures posting beyond 90 days that are not addressed in a timely manner to the Principal Investigator, Department Head, Dean, and Chancellor as necessary.Responsible Personnel for #7: Sponsored Projects AccountingAnticipated Completion Date for #7: January 5, 2023If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate contacting me.

Dear Mr. Waguespack:The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) acknowledges receipt of your correspondence dated March 20, 2023, wherein the Louisiana Legislative Auditor (LLA) notified LDH of a reportable finding related to weakness in controls over provider overpayments. LDH appreciates the opportunity to provide this response to your findings. Please consider this correspondence to serve as the LDH official response.Finding: Weakness in Controls over and Noncompliance with Provider OverpaymentsRecommendation: LDH should strengthen its controls over the preparation of the quarterly CMS 64 reports to ensure compliance with federal regulations. In addition, LDH should ensure it is able to provide supporting documentation timely for amounts reports in the CMS 64 reports for overpayments.LDH Response: LDH management does not concur with the Legislative Auditor's finding for weakness in controls and noncompliance with provider overpayments.LDH Fiscal discovered the error in reporting the federal share of the provider overpayments on the CMS 64 for the September 2021 reporting period and made the correction during the December 2021 reporting period. LDH implemented corrective action measures to include updated procedures for accounting for the 365-Day Receivable report as well as training for the reporting staff to ensure compliance. LDH agrees that it should be able to provide supporting documentation timely for reports in theCMS 64 reports for overpayments. Supporting documentation was limited to meet auditor requests timely, due to lack of familiarity with audit requirements in this area. As a result, the requested supporting documentation provided by LDH Fiscal to auditors was limited and required additional time to gather and understand. The LDH Fiscal is currently in the process of revising procedures to ensure provision of the 365-Day Receivable Report as supporting documentation for provider overpayments. LDH respectfully requests consideration for this issue to be only a topic for discussion at the Management Letter audit exit meeting.You may contact Helen Harris, LDH Fiscal Director, by telephone at 225-342-9568 or by e-mail at helen.harris@la.gov with any questions about this matter.

Dear Mr. Waguespack:The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) acknowledges receipt of correspondence from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor (LLA) dated January 13, 2023, regarding a reportable audit finding related to Noncompliance with Managed Care Provider Enrollment and Screening Requirement. LDH appreciates the opportunity to provide this response to your office's findings.Finding: Noncompliance with Managed Care Provider Enrollment and Screening RequirementRecommendation: LDH should ensure all providers are screened, enrolled, and monitored as required by federal regulations.LDH Response: LDH partially concurs with your finding that LDH did not enroll and screen Healthy Louisiana managed care providers and dental managed care providers as required by federal regulations in 2022.LDH amended the Gainwell Technologies contract to accomplish provider revalidations, with CMS - approved funding. Gainwell Technologies was able to construct an online application portal, which launched in July 2021. Since then, 38,618 fee for service (FFS) and managed care entities (MCE) providers have successfully gone through the portal and submitted their application to be enrolled with 37,613 completing enrollment. Throughout 2022 Gainwell Technologies continued to make user-friendly enhancements to the portal, such as adding a provider enrollment portal lookup tool to show the provider's status as either enrollment complete, action required, application not submitted, or currently in process by Gainwell Technologies. The department and MCEs also completed extensive outreach efforts such as direct contact, hand delivered letters, and provider webinars aimed at unenrolled providers during 2022.Providers who had not completed enrollment on or before December 31, 2022, will have their claims denied for dates of service on or after January 1, 2023.Corrective Action PlanLDH is seeking a longer-term solution through the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) Value Point that will modernize the provider management system and achieve the CMS preference of modularity. The new Provider Management Module solution will be a modern, web based, self-service solution that will support provider enrollment, re-validation, and maintenance. The vendor will provide a configurable, web based, self-service solution that allows healthcare providers to enroll electronically and provide an option for provider self-service updates. LDH continues to keep CMS informed of our progress toward achieving compliance with CMS regulations.You may contact Tara A.

Dear Mr. Waguespack:The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) acknowledges receipt of correspondence from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor (LLA) dated January 20, 2023, regarding a reportable audit finding related to Inadequate Controls over Monitoring of Abortion Claims. LDH appreciates the opportunity to provide this response to your office's findings.Finding: Inadequate Controls over Monitoring of Abortion ClaimsRecommendation: LDH should continue its process to validate self-reported information from the health plans and ensure its process is operating effectively to ensure compliance with federal regulations regarding funding of prohibited abortions claims.LDH Response:LDH concurs with the finding that it did not compare or validate the monthly Managed Care Organization (MCO) self-reported information to ensure the reporting was accurate and complete for the entire fiscal year.LDH developed and proposed an additional review procedure in March 2022 that would validate encounter data to the MCOs self-reported monthly report, but the procedure was not in place prior to the end of state fiscal year 2022. Analysis of encounter data has very significant limitations because the same procedure codes used for an elective abortion are the same procedure codes used for treatments of a fetal death that has already occurred (miscarriage). Therefore, oversight had to be clinically-oriented, which added complexity to the process.The additional review procedure was implemented in July 2022 and reviewed data retrospectively for January 2022 through June 2022.LDH will continue its process to validate the self-reported information from the Managed Care Organizations against encounter data on an ongoing basis and this will be completed for all of Fiscal Year 2023.LDH partially concurs with the finding that the instructions provided to the MCOs concerning how to complete the reports are not detailed and could potentially lead to all five health plans reporting different information. The monthly report includes a definitions tab that includes information on what and how data should be reported. By reviewing reports submitted and encounter data, LDH is able to make determinations on how each MCO is reporting data. However, LDH will review and revise the reporting instructions to include more detail for the MCOs in order to mitigate the potential for misunderstanding by the MCOs.You may contact Tara A.

Dear Mr. Waguespack:Listed below is the University's response to the finding regarding Control Weakness over Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds ReportingFINDING: Control Weakness over Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds ReportingRESPONSE: Southern University - Baton Rouge (SUBR) concurs in part with the above noted finding.The University does not concur that this is the third consecutive year to have the same reported weaknesses. The University did implement corrective action for the prior year audit finding. Of the three bullets included in the prior year audit finding, the University did not concur with one of the bullets, based on its interpretation of the United States Department of Education (USDOE) reporting requirements, and the two remaining bullets, wherein the University did concur, were corrected and are not a part of the condition of this finding. In addition, the timely implementation of recommendations demonstrates the University's management desire to be accountable for, and a willingness to improve, their operations.The University concurs with the current year's weaknesses wherein there was an understatement of expenditures on the Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF) on two of the quarterly reports in the amount of $1,216,444 and on the annual report in the amount of $1,674,977. Due to a change in the USDOE reporting requirements, which specifically changed the quarterly reporting from cumulative to not cumulative, the University revisited the quarterly reports that were posted on the website to make the requested revisions and inadvertently understated the expenditures.At the time these two quarterly reports were prepared and posted, the USDOE had a requirement, which has since been revised, that the reports agree to the expenditures recorded, not the drawdown amounts. There is a USDOE requirement that all quarterly reports are posted by the 10th day following the end of the quarter, which results in the University preparing the reports immediately after the end of the quarter to meet the deadline. Therefore, generating a list of all transactions after the entire year has closed, to include the accrual period and comparing it to the transactions that were posted for the quarter to meet the deadline, resulted in an understatement of expenditures on the reports. Also, the University concurs that the age category was misclassified for 145 students (1.4% error rate).The USDOE allowed all reporting entities to revise the HEERF Annual 2021 data when entering the 2022 data into the HEERF portal. The USDOE has confirmed that the University may charge its HEERF grant awards for expenditures from March 13, 2020 through the performance period of the HEERF grants.The University will continue to review the USDOE website and attend webinars for guidance related to HEERF reporting requirements. Management will continue to monitor the concerns noted in this finding.The campus personnel responsible for implementing and monitoring corrective actions are Mr. Flandus McClinton, Vice President for Finance and Business Affairs and Mr. Terry Hall, Vice Chancellor for Financial Affairs. The projected deadline to finalize the review of the concerns brought to the University's attention with this audit finding is June 30, 2023.If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Mr. Flandus McClinton at 225.771.6278.

The Quarterly Public Reporting for the Student Aid Portion for the quarters ending September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2021 were publicly posted in January 2022. Since then the College has publicly posted all student quarterly report by the established deadlines.? The Spring 21 student disbursements were double counted in the underlying data which led to the inaccurate reporting of the amount and number students who received HEERF emergency financial aid grants. The data in the annual report for the calendar year ending December 31, 2021 has been updated to accurately report the number of students that received HEERF emergency financial aid grants and the amounts disbursed directly to student as emergency financial aid grants. The updated annual report has been submitted to the United States Department of Education.The College's corrective action plan will include reviews of the reports that are completed by the Office of Accounting and Finance Staff to ensure the reports are posted timely and accurately. The correction action plan will be fully implemented by June 30th, 2023. The Vice Chancellor of Finance and Administration, Corlin LeBlanc will be responsible for ensuring the corrective actions are completed and the College complies with the applicable HEERF reporting requirements.

Dear Mr. Waguespack,Please accept this letter as the official response from the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) to the audit finding entitled Non-Compliance with Reporting Requirements for the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.Recommendation:DOE should continue to strengthen internal controls to ensure that appropriate personnel are aware of the federal programs that are subject to FFATA reporting and assign appropriate personnel to complete the FFATA reporting in accordance with federal requirements.LDOE Response:In order to strengthen internal controls over FFATA reporting to address the recommendation, the LDOE has implemented procedures to identify appropriate personnel as responsible for the preparation and submission of FFATA reporting in addition to providing training to the responsible personnel on federal regulations regarding required reporting. The agency?s third-party electronic grants management system vendor has provided the reports for FFATA Reporting that ensures accurate data submission in accordance with the federal requirements, therefore the LDOE concurs with the finding. The LDOE plans to have these corrective actions in place no later than September 30, 2023.Contributing Factor:As part of the formal response, LDOE would like to identify the Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) as a contributing factor in the resolution process for FFATA reporting. While LDOE is and will continue to work through the process of submission/correction to FFATA reporting, please note that timely/accurate submission is to some extent dependent on the submission process as designed by the FSRS. LDOE has and continues to encounter technical issues with the FSRS site where these reports are uploaded. To resolve the issues, the staff must submit FSRS Helpdesk tickets whereas the timely resolution of the tickets are a vital component of the corrective action protocols. Upon request, LDOE provides our program contact at the US Department of Education (ED) information regarding its outstanding helpdesk tickets and their status for resolution. The agency?s team is maintaining a record regarding the ticket submissions and their resolution status to ensure all FFATA reports are submitted accurately and timely.The Department takes seriously the reporting requirements for FFATA and is dedicated to ensuring the reporting is accurate and timely. Further questions concerning this response may be directed to Mr. Bernell Cook, by telephone at 225-342-1050 or via email at bernell.cook@la.gov.

Dear Mr. Waguespack,Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your office's finding related to federal research and development expenses. LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport (LSUHSC-S) has reviewed the issues identified by your staff. LSUHSC-S concurs with the recommendations to address the finding and provides the following response and corrective action plan.Recommendation:Management should monitor time and effort certifications completed by the departments and investigate and obtain justification from department personnel for untimely certifications as well as untimely adjustments and lack of supporting documentation for the adjustments to enforce established policies.Response and Corrective Action Plan:LSUHSC-S will continue to offer training classes and educational meetings to address the Federal requirements and ensure compliance. The training classes include one-on-one departmental meetings held by the Office of Sponsored Programs on new awards, Department Business Manager and Administrative Staff monthly meetings, and research personnel time and effort educational sessions. Emphasis will be placed on grant management organizational podcasts and classes for seasoned and new business staff, principal investigators, and institutional grant and contract support staff.LSUHSC-S will again review the procedures to address improvements for processing adjustments through PERs with sufficient justification and timely approvals and entry in Peoplesoft.Name of Contact(s) Responsible for Action PlanSheila Faour, CFO, Business and ReimbursementsJen Katzman, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance (with Departmental Business Managers)Bill Haacker, Assistant Director of Grants AccountingSteven McAlister, Associate Director of General AccountingAnnella Nelson, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research DevelopmentAnticipated Completion Date: ContinuousRecommendation:Management should ensure adequate design and operating effectiveness of controls over expenses, including P-Card expenses, charged to federal awards to verify allowability of costs in accordance with federal requirements and grant terms and conditions prior to requesting reimbursement.Response and Corrective Action Plan:The transaction exceptions identified totaled approximately $1,200 with one transaction exceeding the allocated budget and two transactions being coded to an incorrect award number.To address the exceptions, LSUHSC-S is exploring implementation of additional Peoplesoft module vendor transaction utility, such as adding more approvers and requiring additional description of the purchase to assist the applicable departments in fulfilling their responsibilities in the transactional review area.LSUHSC-S will also add this responsibility role training as part of our continuing one on one meetings and educational classes.Name of Contact(s) Responsible for Action PlanSheila Faour, CFO, Business and ReimbursementsJen Katzman, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance (with Departmental Business Managers)Steven McAlister, Associate Director of General AccountingBill Haacker, Assistant Director of Grants AccountingAnnella Nelson, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research DevelopmentAnticipated Completion Date: ContinuousRecommendation:Management should also consider implementing other complementary controls such as preventing costs from being charged to projects in the accounting system beyond the approved budget or period of performance.Response and Corrective Action Plan:LSUHSC-S has implemented a setting in Peoplesoft that prevents personnel expenditures on accounts over budget or beyond the performance period. The personnel expenditures are captured in a suspense account for review by departmental business staff to identify the appropriate funding. This setting will be expanded for more projects and non-personnel expenditures.Name of Contact(s) Responsible for Action PlanSheila Faour, CFO, Business and ReimbursementsJen Katzman, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance (with Departmental Business Managers)Steven McAlister, Associate Director of General AccountingBill Haacker, Assistant Director of Grants AccountingAnticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2023If you have questions or require additional information, please contact me at (318) 675-5230 or via email at cindy.rives@lsuhs.edu.

Finding Number 2022-208: State Opioid Response program performance progress reports did not have documentation to support completion of a review for accuracy and compliance prior to submission.Federal Program: 93.788 - Opioid STRRelated to Prior Finding: N/AAgency?s view: The Department agrees with this finding.The contract manager attests that she did, in fact, review, edit, re-review and ultimately approve the 5 program performance reports to the grantor. The reports were either emailed to the Program Manager or uploaded in Teams for her review/approval. The auditor was provided documentation of these reviewed documents, including editing notes by that manager. Additionally, one-on-one supervision notes between the person submitting the reports and the contract manager validate that these reports were, in fact, reviewed and approved prior to submission to the grantor. The federal funder does not require this type of documentation of review/approval and the program was not aware of this CFR requirement. The program does, however, agree, that review and approval of these reports was not documented and that a corrective action plan is warranted.Corrective Action: Beginning April 1, 2023, all required federal reports will include thefollowing statement, which will be signed and dated electronically by the approving reviewerbefore the report is submitted:? I, _______________________, have reviewed and approved this report prior tosubmission.Name, titleA copy of the approved and signed report will be retained in DBH?s electronic grant fundingrecords.Anticipated Corrective Action Date: April 1, 2023Responsible for Corrective Action: Kelly Combs, Bureau Chief, Compliancekelly.combs@dhw.idaho.gov 208-334-5814

Finding Number 2022-211: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) closing package originally submitted to the Office of the State Controller did not properly identify COVID-19 Emergency Acts expenditures for multiple programs.Federal Programs:93.391 - Activities to Support State, Tribal, Local and Territorial (STLT) Health Department Response to Public Health or Healthcare Crises10.551 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap)84.181 - Special Education - Grants for Infants and Families93.497 - Family Violence Prevention and Services/ Sexual Assault/Rape Crisis Services and Supports93.590 - Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention Grants93.958 - Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services93.977 - Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Prevention and Control Grants10.557 - WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, And Children10.561 - State Administrative Matching Grants for The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance ProgramRelated to Prior Finding: 2021-206Agency?s view: The Department agrees with this finding.The Department agrees with this finding but it is important to highlight that our internal controls and review processes are designed to detect and correct material inaccuracies or omissions of required information within the annual SEFA. As this does not constitute a material error, but rather a significant deficiency, the Department?s controls for this process worked as intended.This was a new requirement and Department personnel failed to identify a significant risk related to it and enhance the review procedures accordingly. This requirement will be monitored while we spend down the remaining COVID-19 emergency funding we have already been awarded.Corrective Action: This corrective action plan is complete. Effective immediately, we willmonitor awards for any new COVID-19 funding, but we don?t believe that there will be any newCOVID-19 awards. All existing awards have been confirmed as being reported as COVID-19funding.Anticipated Corrective Action Date: Corrective action has been taken as of April 2023Responsible for Corrective Action: Kelly Combs, Bureau Chief, Compliancekelly.combs@dhw.idaho.gov 208-334-5814

This includes a discussion in our annual closing package training, online resources regarding COVID-19 funds, an FAQ document, and being available to discuss questions and concerns. In addition to the steps we are currently taking, we will reiterate the importance of designating COVID-19 related expenditures on the SEFA closing package during our annual closing package training. We will review STARS activity in the COVID-19 related funds and compare to the agency submitted closing packages for reasonableness. Recognizing that not all agencies utilize these specific funds, we will also review COVID-19 related expenditures on an external online source that reports federal grant expenditures. We will then use this information to compare to what is reported on agency closing packages for reasonableness.Anticipated Corrective Action Date: Errors identified were corrected prior to issuance of the Single Audit report. We will work with agencies to ensure all COVID-19 funds are identified for FY23 reporting.Responsible for Corrective Action: Ethan Draves, Reporting and Review Bureau ChiefEdraves@sco.idaho.gov 208-334-3100
