Finding #2023-001 Allowable Costs and Cost Principles: Douglas Wilson was unable to determine if the Center complied with the 15% requirement or the $25,000 technical assistance limit for the CCBHC grant. Douglas Wilson was also unable to test a sample of direct costs charged to the program because transaction details were not provided. Per the recommendation of Douglas Wilson, we have updated the Center’s existing financial policy and procedures to include language specifically related to how the Center will retain documentation to support costs that are charged to the CCBHC grant, and also track and monitor compliance with the 15% and $25,000 maximum requirements for the grant (see Financial Policies and Procedures Policy A-14). Responsible official: Sydney Blair, Chief Executive Officer, 406.791.9603 Expected completion date: June 30, 2025

Corrective Action Plan: - Management will review the Subrecipient Monitoring and Management policy for relevant updates and improvements to internal control - Results of risk assessment procedures and subrecipient monitoring will be formally documented within the tracking log - Log entries will be updated to reflect a reviewers note documenting material and date of review - Director of Research Finance and Operations will review log semi-annually for secondary oversight Expected Completion Date: June 30, 2025 Status of Completion: In Process

Internal control over payroll and disbursements In January 2023 changes to any pay rates were submitted on a Personnel Action Form (PAF) by the Operations Manager. The PAF included the old pay rate and the new pay rate and was submitted to the Executive Director for review and approval. After approval, the form was filed in the employees paper file, as well as uploaded to their electronic record on the ProService platform. In May 2024, we hired a Human Resources Specialist who is responsible for updating and maintaining all personnel files and processing of payroll records. In October 2023, we hired an Accounting Specialist (AS) who is responsible for the processing of all vendor disbursements. Prior to ordering items or services, a Purchase Requisiton (PR) is submitted by the program manager to the Executive Director or Programs Director for review and approval. Upon approval the PR is submitted to the Controller for expense and grant coding. PR is then submitted to the AS to assign a PR number and enter the expenses on the PR tracking log. When the PR has been assigned a PR number it is sent to the Operations Manager for purchasing. When the invoice is received the PR is matched to the invoice indicating proper approvals. If the purchase is over $5,000, a Procurement form is completed to solicit 3 bids and reviewed and approved by the Executive Director. If the purchase is over $20,000, the Procurement form is submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. All Procurement forms are attached to invoices for payment processing. Internal control over account balances During the fiscal year, it was noted that there were credit card entries that were duplicated, and have been corrected as of the date of this report. Due to miscommunication with the previous fiscal staff, payments made by credit card were entered as an invoice and as an adjusting journal entry.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Grants department had two employees in FY 22/23. The Grant coordinator and assistant both terminated county employment in fiscal year 22/23 and left virtually no records. Information and materials, they did leave behind were stuffed in boxes and tracking in the electronic workbook was not fully completed. Admin staff trained the Grant employees but was unaware they were not following the process and procedures, and only saving information to their personal computer. Current admin staff requested the documents from prior staff members and they were received, though we are unsure if all were sent. Staff is doing their due diligence and working diligently to get back on track in monitoring activities, and train the newly hired staff. There is insufficient budget to hire the staff needed to fully monitor the Home Program loan efforts. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Under direction of the County Administrative Officer, the Senior Financial Analyst Suzie Hawkins. Planned completion date for correcting action plan: Undetermined at this time as the staff continues their current minimal Home Program loan efforts while still maintaining all other duties, and being short staffed.
