Response. Agreed. Where feasible, the Housing Trust will aim to improve management of all federal grants. A process of documentation verification prior to any requests made for financial draws will include employee, supervisor, business operations manager, and executive director level approvals to ensure compliance and availability of funds. A monthly federal request for reimbursements with all grantee information will be used and reconciled monthly with QuickBooks. This report will mirror the SEFA form so auditors will receive the information in a timely manner. For any quarterly reports, the three months of reporting will again be reconciled prior to submission. All new processes and compliance will be updated in the policies and procedure manual. As the Executive Director prepares the 2024 budget, a reorganization of the business operations department will be sought. A new position to prepare and work on all federal grant tasks will be hired and report to the Business Operations Manager. In the meantime, the Business Operations Manager has started to develop checks and balances.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY KANSAS ADJUANT GENERAL 2022-001: Disaster Grants – Public Assistance CFDA No. 97.036 Grant period: Year Ended December 31, 2022 Condition and Context: The County does not have a complete set of written cash management policies and procedures as required by the Uniform Guidance. The lack of written procedures did not result in any material noncompliance, fraud or abuse with respect to the major program. Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires Non-Federal entities other than States, including those operating Federal programs as subrecipients of States, to follow the cash management standards set out at 2 CFR section 200.305. The County must have a complete set of written cash management policies, which conform to applicable Federal statutes and the cash management requirements identified in 2 CFR part 200. Cause: The County was unaware of the written cash management policy requirements required by the Uniform Guidance. Effect: An important component of internal controls is the existence of operating policies and procedures and that they are clearly understood and communicated. Without clear written policies and procedures, there is a higher risk of noncompliance with program requirements. Recommendation: Management should determine the scope of written policies needed for compliance with all federal programs and develop policies and procedures to comply with the Uniform Guidance. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and recommendation. The County’s existing policies are currently under review by management and staff to determine what updates/changes are necessary in order to meet the Uniform Guidance requirements. Once any updates/changes are drafted, the policy will be presented to the Governing Body for review and approval.

Recommendation: The Association should ensure source documentation is maintained for all costs and elements of a cost calculation reimbursed by federal awards. Explanation or disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding from responsible officials that two out of forty wage rate authorization forms requested were not located. Other documentation was submitted that supported the wage rates, including results of a salary survey performed by an HR consulting company. Actions taken in response to finding: In response to the finding, the Association generated detailed pay rate change history reports from the payroll system for these two employees and took a random sample of pay history for three other employees. Nothing unusual was identifiable. The Association will ensure source documentation is maintained for all federal award cost reimbursements by taking the following actions: • At least two Association leadership staff members will review all payroll changes and save documentation in secure, electronic personnel files and payroll processing files. • An improved human resources information and payroll system with more robust time tracking, reporting and document storage features is being implemented. • Detailed requirements for payroll changes will be added to revised finance and human resources policies and procedures (currently under revision).

Health Center Program Cluster– Assistance Listing No. 93.224 & 93.527 Recommendation: Management should consider increasing the frequency of its internal audits over patient encounters or expanding its sample sizes in addition to providing additional training for front desk staff regarding the collection and verification of patient information for each patient. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The finding in the previous year’s audit was associated with lack of documentation of a slide application within the EMR, this was corrected. The current year’s finding was associated with the One Health EDR and was regarding an incorrect application of slide category. One Health has transitioned to an EDR that is interfaced and embedded into the current EMR and anticipates an automated process with slide application, which would correct the manual slide calculation by staff. Additionally, One Health is in the process of adjusting staff management to provide further oversight to intake personnel responsible for slide paperwork and documentation within the Electronic Health Record. One Health has already instituted additional internal audit oversight due to the EDR transition and plans to increase the frequency of review for those sliding scale patients.

Finding 2022-005 – Reporting (Compliance; Internal Control Over Compliance) Condition: The School District did not complete and submit their audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the due date of March 31, 2023. Recommendation: We recommend the School District become familiar with reporting requirements for each award and implement procedures to begin audit preparation work earlier in the fiscal year to ensure reports are filed within the nine-month reporting deadline set forth by Uniform Guidance. Views of Responsible Officials: The District was notified late by their audit firm that they would no longer be providing audit services. The District hired a replacement firm but was unable to complete the audit in accordance with the Clearinghouse guidelines. The District is retaining the current audit firm with anticipation of the report for the 2022-23 fiscal year being issued and filed on a timely basis.

Finding 2022-004 – Internal Control Over Disbursements (Allowable Costs/Activities) Condition: During our testing of internal controls over nonpayroll disbursements we reviewed 20 transactions, noting there was no supporting documentation for 2 transactions. No additional documentation was present to show that approval was obtained through other means, such as by email, verbally or follow-up signature approval from the program director. The sampling was not a statistically valid sample. Recommendation: We recommend that the School District strengthens internal control policies and procedures over disbursements and employees indicate their review and approval for all transactions to ensure they are properly authorized. We further recommend no disbursement be processed without all necessary supporting documentation being obtained. Views of Responsible Officials: The District concurs with the recommendation. The Superintendent is working with finance staff on the review process so as to provide documentation for each expenditure incurred by the District. The review is completed by the Business Manage then submitted to the Supt and Board of Trustees on a periodic basis.
