MaineHealth ServicesCorrective Action PlanFor the Year Ended September 30, 2022Finding 2022-001ConditionDuring compliance testing, it was determined that the Satisfaction Surveys and Year End Report were not submitted within the noted time frame.Corrective Action PlanCorrective Action Planned: Satisfaction Survey reports are included as part of the Year End Report for this contract. When internal quality control of Satisfaction Survey data identified significant variance from previous years, this led to investigation of the data collection and reporting process to identify and resolve the error. Upon clarifying the source of the error, changes were required to our database to correct it. At this time, these changes have been made and reporting of this data is accurate. Future Satisfaction Survey data will be accurate and ready for reporting.The annual process will continue as structured: Program Manager ensures surveys are mailed in March/April to individuals served the previous calendar year. Returned surveys are entered in our data system by the Data & Intake Specialist through August. In September, the Program Manager reviews and calculates the data into a one-page report, for submission with the other annual report data, to be ready for November 30 submission.Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Jennifer Kimble, Director - Vocational Services Director; Stephanie Desrochers, Program Manager.Anticipated Completion Date: Completed June 6, 2023.

Assistance Listing No. 21.027Recommendation: We recommend that management review their policies and procedures to ensure that all monthly and quarterly reports are submitted timely, and the supporting documentation used to prepare the reports are retained for audit purposes.Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.Action taken in response to finding: The Office of Budget and Finance in conjunction with the Executive?s office of Government Reform and Strategic Initiative have partnered to establish best practice procedures surrounding the compilation, review and approval of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Reporting to ensure reports are reviewed for accuracy, approved and submitted timely.Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Elisabeth Sachs and Rebecca LangPlanned completion date for corrective action plan: 4/1/2023

2022-004 COVID-19-Emergency Rental Assistance ? Assistance Listing No. 21.023Recommendation: We recommend that management review their policies and procedures to ensure that all monthly and quarterly reports showing timely submission and the supporting documentation used to prepare the reports are retained for audit purposes.Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: DHCD possesses and utilized supporting documentation to prepare the required reports. However, DHCD was provided 24 hours to submit this information while the primary contributing staff was on scheduled leave and unreachable. DHCD disagrees with the statement about monthly and quarterly reports not being submitted timely. All required reports were submitted on-time and in accordance with current Treasury guidance at the time of submission. DHCD cannot ascertain the veracity of this statement about lack of supporting documentation because it was not provided the data points the auditors used to make their determination. Fully reconciled final documentation of ERA1 Participant Household Data Report was given to the Auditors. However, this data would not have matched earlier submissions to Treasury. Treasury requested full revisions because their staff became aware of many structural reporting problems were experienced by recipients while completing the reporting actions. Entries timed out, sometimes disappeared, sometimes double counted, and the database had no ability to allow for corrections once identified. For this reason, Treasury?s final reporting requirements for closeout had the option for jurisdictions to disregard all prior entries and submit a reconciled version of the households assisted and all related expenditures. This final data report was provided in this audit yet it does not match the initial submissions for the reasons stated. Because the Auditors did not afford DHCD the time to review their ?findings?, DHCD cannot ascertain the level of agreement with the statement.Action taken in response to finding: Not applicable, see above.Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Colleen MahonyPlanned completion date for corrective action plan: Not applicable, see above.

2022-001 WIOA Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. 17.258/.259/.278COVID-19-Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds ? Assistance Listing No. 21.027Aging Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. 93.044/.045/.053Recommendation: We recommend that the County improve its SEFA compilation process to ensure that program expenditures reported on the County?s SEFA are complete and accurate. Procedures and controls should include a process to identify programs that are new to the County and ensure they are properly reported on the SEFA.We further recommend that County?s Office of Budget and Finance (OBF) work with the County?s agencies and departments to review and update their SEFA review and confirmation procedures to ensure that expenditure information they submit to OBF is accurate, that it includes all programs expended, and ties to detail expenditure transactions in the County?s accounting system. They should also review and enhance procedures and controls to ensure that subrecipient payments are accurately reported.Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.Action taken in response to finding: On July 1, 2022, Baltimore County deployed Workday Financials, as a replacement for the legacy ERP system, known as CGI Advantage. The Workday system is configured in a way that silos all Federal grants or portions of grants into one fund for reporting purposes. This new configuration captures all award information including CFDA number, Grantor, and Federal/State Grant Number is captured. Additionally, all subrecipients are managed through a Supplier Contract and are categorized as such. This system implementation will ensure accurate and efficient reporting as it related to the SEFA compilation and Subrecipient reporting.Furthermore, DEWD will provide OBF the reports and cost pools to support grant draws on a quarterly basis to assist OBF in the preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. DEWD will prepare grant closeout expenditure adjustments (journal entries) on a timely basis. DEWD reviews expenditures to ensure grant eligibility and proper posting to the correct grant. On a quarterly basis, DEWD performs a reconciliation of grant expenditures during preparation of the grant draw reports. OBF will not certify any quarterly cash draws that do not tie back into the general ledger.Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Robert Preston, Leonard Howie, Angelique Pefinis-Newport, Terry HickeyPlanned completion date for corrective action plan: 8/1/2023

2022-003 CDBG Entitlement Grant Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. 14.218Recommendation: We recommend the County review and enhance their procedures to ensure that all required reports are submitted accurately and timely.Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: DHCD is aware that the CAPER was submitted late. However, DHCD was in continuous communication with HUD about the submission and HUD regularly states to all its grantees that there is no sanction or penalty imposed for a late CAPER submission. It is important to note that HUD understood the need for the extension due to the extreme stress placed upon local jurisdictions implementing the various COVID housing-related grants and the set up and reporting deadlines for those projects that would have real sanctions with loss of funds if not met.Action taken in response to finding: Non taken. Action Plan was submitted.Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Colleen MahonyPlanned completion date for corrective action plan: Completed ? May 2022.

View of Responsible Official and Corrective Action PlanDreamTree Project, Inc. had experienced steady growth through 2019, which created a challenge for our administrative team. In 2020 and 2021, we dramatically expanded programs and services, which more than doubled our budget and exacerbated the challenges. We have created new administrative positions and invested in project management software; and have established a new shared calendar with all reporting deadlines and are reviewing upcoming deadlines each month. We are now on track to be ahead of our deadlines for the remainder of 2023 and all of 2024. Catherine Hummel, Executive Director, is responsible for the resolution of this finding.

A thorough system of internal controls around the voucher approval process was in place and all entries had proper supporting documentation, however, evidencing review of posting of the entry is a limitation of the ERP system as currently designed. As such, management is incorporating this workflow into the new ERP system that will be rolled out globally over the next 18 months. In the interim we will focus on where it is not possible to provide physical signatures as evidence of review, a properly documented email approval can be provided instead.(Corrective actions introduced in FY22 & FY23 will be project planned and reviewed through the FY23 year-end close, and these will be closely monitored during FY24 to a final resolution with an anticipated closure, if not earlier, by 30 June, 2024 .

Ref 2022-004: Foreign exchange translation methodology (repeat of prior year finding 2021-005, 2020-006 and 2019-006) (significant deficiency)Federal Agency: AllProgram: AllAssistance Listing: AllAward #: AllAward year: FY22, FY21, FY20, FY19Pass-through: All applicableManagement confirms that the requirement to input and apply daily foreign exchange rates into the new ERP system to ensure compliance with accounting standards and Plan?s accounting policies remains in place.As in prior years, management calculated the impact of using incorrect exchange rates during FY22 and confirmed that differences were immaterial. Global Hub Treasury continues to monitor Country Office exchange rates for correctness and volatility and takes action to make changes during the month. Management confirms that the BPC system-generated figures for CTA are now fully understood, and documentation has been shared with PwC as in the prior year to explain the logic. Furthermore, PwC has agreed with the methodology used to calculate the CTA figure used in various note workings in FY22 (mainly WW Note 6 ? Reserves and the cash flow statement). Miscellaneous balancing items are now down to approximately ?550k, and the origins of these balances are known. Work will be undertaken to fully clear these amounts for FY23.It should be noted that the current SAP transaction system will be updated prior to 30 June 2023 to enable an automated upload of daily foreign exchange rates, to remedy this deficiency prior to starting the new financial year (FY23). The daily upload of foreign exchange rates will also be included in the new ERP system design as part of the Y.O.D.A programme. This should ensure compliance with the accounting standards and Plan?s accounting policies going forward.(Corrective actions introduced in FY22 & FY23 will be project planned and reviewed through the FY23 year-end close, and these will be closely monitored during FY24 to a final resolution with an anticipated closure, if not earlier, by 30 June, 2024 .

Finding 2022-006The Corporation management agreed with the finding. As of August 16, 2023, the Corporation has implemented the following changes, which we believe address future internal control considerations should the program be reinstated. The below controls additionally address the need to properly maintain evidence of controls. The below wording was added to the SEFA Preparation Memo, which is used to prepare the SEFA each year.a. Grants listed on the prior year are reviewed to determine if the grant is still active or if the grant has closed out.i. For grants that have closed the ending dates of the grant are verified, and current year activity is reviewed to ensure that all activity for that grant has been properly accounted for.Responsible Personnel include Harley McCoige, Controller and Cortney Couture, Director of Accounting.
