Management recognizes that Per Title 2, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 (2 CRF 200), Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Award, (Subpart D, Section 200.303), the nonfederal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Under the terms and conditions of the award, Provider Relief Funds (PRF) is subject to 45 CFR section 75.302 (Financial management and standards for financial management systems). The PRF program requires special reporting through the Provider Relief Fund Reporting Portal that contains key line items containing critical information, which includes the Calculation of Lost Revenues Attributable to Coronavirus. In all instances Bon Secours Mercy Health (BSMH) has adequate lost revenue to be eligible for PRF funding and has maintained a correct list of the assigned lost revenue amounts; the Cares Act portal was not updated correctly to incorporate certain lost revenue amounts. As recommended, Management will employ additional review steps to ensure that the portal tracking of lost revenues is properly stated going forward.
