County Judge/Executive’s Response: The Breathitt County Fiscal Court has hired a new County Treasurer since the completion of the 2021 audit who will ensure stronger internal controls are maintained in her official capacity and will be working with additional staff members, such as the Finance Officer and Occupational Tax Administrator, to segregate duties in a more controlled method. The newly hired County Treasurer will work to resolve the following issues by the end of the calendar year in the following manner. Failure to perform accurate reconciliations - the new Treasurer has already begun to perform accurate reconciliations at the end of each month. Tax obligations not paid timely - the new Treasurer has already implemented a system for paying obligations by the deadline. Failure to maintain accounting records - the Former Treasurer began the process of reporting & record maintenance for the Justice Center Corporation Fund and the new Treasurer is continuing with this reporting method. This was implemented at the end of 2022. Failure to prepare financial statements timely - the new Treasurer will complete the annual statement in accordance with KRS 68.020 in a timely manner. Failure to prepare an accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) - the new Treasurer will complete SEFA's accurately. Disbursements issues: o Segregation of duties is currently being reviewed and the new Treasurer is establishing a process for review and approval of disbursements that will allow for stronger internal controls. New system will be in place by the end of the calendar year. The Breathitt County Fiscal Court has also begun utilizing [software name redacted] as the primary accounting software which will allow for more consistent tracking of purchase orders and permit better tracking of obligated expenses. Supporting documentation will be kept for all transactions, including credit card transactions. Invoices will be paid in a timely manner - great strides have already been made in this area with the hiring of the new Treasurer but will continue to improve during the remainder of the calendar year 2023. The Breathitt County Fiscal Court adopted the KY Model Procurement code in August 2023. With the hiring of a new Applicant Agent in January 2023 and a new Treasurer in July 2023 proper bid documentation is already being maintained and procurement policies are being followed. An encumbrance list will be maintained by the new Treasurer. Payroll issues: o Annual pay rate lists will be maintained & approved at the first regular meeting of the Breathitt County Fiscal Court each January. New County Treasurer will ensure that payments moving forward do not exceed statutory maximums. All lump sum payments made to employees will be issued using W2's, moving forward, beginning in November 2023.

We used the initial PRF reporting guidelines that indicated that the PRFs could be used to maintain health care service delivery. Due to limited staff, including staff turnover, and the need to focus our efforts on maintaining health care delivery including caring for COVID‐19 patients, we were not able to keep up with the continuously changing guidance pertaining to the use of the PRF. For future federal funding, we plan to more closely monitor the guidelines surrounding the funding and work with outside consultants for new federal programs or those programs that have constantly changing guidance.
