Upon review, FRLS had retainer agreements for both of the exceptions listed, but they were not readily available for review. FRLS has implemented a checklist of required documentation before every case closure to be reviewed by the Regional Managing Attorneys and Advocacy Director.

A review of the checklist and case files will be done by the Advocacy Director on a regular basis to ensure compliance.

Prior to 2018, obtaining the simple agreement, when required by LSC regulations, was the responsibility of the managing attorney for the unit or office. In 2018, this responsibility was transferred to the Human Resources Administrator to ensure this document and others were timely obtained and placed in the employee’s personal file. Based on these findings, all current employees, for whom a simple agreement was not in the personnel file, were required to sign the agreement or submit a copy of the agreement they previously signed. All current employees, required to sign the simple agreement, have one on file. Human Resources will continue to obtain the agreements as part of the new employee onboarding process.

One of the two meeting minutes noted, January 30, 2023, was approved at the March 3, 2023 board meeting and submitted to LSC on May 9, 2023. The minutes of the May 22, 2023 meeting have not been approved and should not have been submitted on September 7, 2023. The minutes for the May 22, 2023 meeting will be placed on the upcoming Executive Committee meeting agenda for review and approval as appropriate. Upon approval, the May 22, 2023 meeting minutes will be re‐submitted to LSC. CLS recently implemented a new process. If there is not a quorum at a full board meeting, the minutes that were on that meeting’s agenda for approval will be placed on the next scheduled Executive Committee meeting for review and approval. For example, if there is no quorum at the January full board meeting, all meeting minutes that were scheduled for review and approval at that meeting will be placed on the agenda for the Executive Committee meeting later that month for approval and reported out to the full board at its next regularly scheduled meeting in March. This will ensure timely review, approval and submission of minutes for board and committee meetings.

Finding 2023-003- Case Requirements Corrective Action: LSA is committed to strengthening our policies and procedures concerning the management of case files. We will collaborate closely with our Managing Attorneys to ensure that all compliance requirements are met effectively. Regarding the incorrect use of a problem code under 65 CFR 1620 – LSA recognizes that on rare occasions clients may have files opened for one problem but ultimately receive assistance in a different legal area. LSA will discuss this matter with LSA’s Managing Attorneys at the next scheduled meeting and create a plan to ensure compliance regarding this issue. Regarding the failure to disclose an affirmative filing under 64 CFR 1644- Under LSA’s current system, all cases where staff use Legal Server to do the necessary forms are automatically included in reporting. For unclear reasons, the staff person in this incident did correctly fill out the form included in the file, but because they did so manually it was not included in the report. We believe this is easily correctable since the staff member was aware of the compliance requirement but simply failed to enter it correctly in the Legal Server system. LSA plans to provide individual training to all case handlers within three months. Post-training, we will conduct a written evaluation to assess the comprehension and implementation of these guidelines by our staff to prevent any future instances of non-compliance. Our goal is to rectify the deficiencies noted in the audit and ensure full compliance moving forward. Contact Person: Michael Forton, Director of Advocacy; (256) 551-2671; mforton@alsp.org
