Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended September 30, 2022. Beene Garter, A Doeren Mayhew Firm 56 Grandville Ave SW Suite 100 Grand Rapids, MI 49503 Audit Period: October 1, 2021 ? September 30, 2022 The finding from the 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDING ? FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT Aging Cluster ? Assistance Listing #94.044, #93.045, #93.053 #2022-001 ? Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Reporting, and Compliance Finding: Grant and Contract Management; Reporting Recommendations: ? It?s recommended implementation of a documented tracking system for reports according to the deadlines provided by the funding entity. In the event an extension is necessary, that extension should be requested prior to the due date and should be documented. Multiple people should be involved in the reporting process, so that reports can still be filed timely in the event of unexpected absences or turnover in staff. Actions Taken: ? The agency has implemented a procedure within the finance department that will ensure reporting is submitted timely and accurately. A new reporting spreadsheet has been developed to improve effectiveness of this process and a deadline tracking system is now being utilized. If there are any questions regarding this plan, please call Kendrick Heinlein at 616.456.5664. Sincerely, Kendrick Heinlein Chief Executive Officer Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan
