Finding 2023-001 Name of Contact Person: Debra Hansen, Accounting Manager – Grants and Gifts Corrective Action Plan: In December 2022, changes were made to the MCHS lab ordering process and a new report was created to track employee COVID test results. This report reflected two rows of information for each individual employee tested. One for the test order and a second for the test result. Each row was counted and costed as two separate employee tests and therefore a portion of the cost for employee COVID tests was accidentally doubled and overstated in the portal for Period 5. However, although these expenses were overstated by $49,000, the grant was not overcharged as these questioned costs would be fully replaceable by an allowable amount of unused eligible lost revenues of approximately $109,516,000. Management will implement a procedure that requires a second level review of expenditures reported to ensure accuracy of reimbursement claimed for federal- and state-funded expenditures.Completion Date: September 30, 2024
