Finding Reference Number: MW2022-005 Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: CUAHSI agrees with the finding and recommendation. CUAHSI Corrective Action: Action by CUAHSI impacting audit year 2022: CUAHSI acknowledges that no documentation was available to show subrecipient-monitoring procedures were followed for FY 2022 within the required timeframe. In 2023, a targeted review of all active subawards 2022 was conducted. That effort was then expanded to include (i) written recipient self-certifications and (ii) a formal, documented risk-assessment workflow for CUAHSI management. Retroactive monitoring for every FY 2022 subaward was completed and filed under this enhanced process in spring 2024. Corrective actions to processes and responsibilities impacting subsequent years: CUAHSI now follows a written Subrecipient Monitoring Policy that specifies the duties of the Director of Finance, Staff Accountant, and Principal Investigator. Routine monitoring of active subawards began in May 2023; the process was updated on September 21 2023 and further strengthened in spring 2024. All subrecipients from FY 2020–2022 have been retroactively certified, and timely reviews were in place for FY 2023–2024 awards. Management performs a mid-year check to confirm that monitoring records are complete, adequate, and securely stored.

2022-003 Disbursement to vendor not Registered in SAM Category: Material weakness in Internal Control and Material Noncompliance Condition: During the audit, it was noted that Jorge R. Calderon Lopez, to which disbursements were made for legal services was not registered in SAM at the time of the award and remained unregistered throughout the audit period. Management’s Response: Starting in FY 2024-2025, the finance department will strengthen communication and create a tool for the legal department to identify the federal funds to be used. This will enable the legal department to request the SAM registration document during the procurement process. This approach will enhance control and ensure that the vendor is registered in SAM before beginning their services. Person in charge: Juan C. Rodriguez Rivera – Accounting Official Yanina Cuadrado Sanjurjo - Lawyer 787-705-7188 Juan.rodriguez@lra.pr.gov & Yanina.cuadrado@lra.pr.gov Implementation Date: FY 2024-2025

Finding No. 2022-007: Inadequate Documentation and Records for Application of Sliding Fee Discounts We have incorporated a policy that establishes the basis for the sliding fee policy to assure affordable access to care for uninsured and underinsured patients of the organization. The policy will recognize a “full discount” for individuals and families with annual incomes at or below 100% Federal poverty level (FPL) with only nominal fees charged, three levels of discount between 100% and 200%, and no discounts for copays for individuals and families earning over 200% FPL. This policy will be in accordance with Section 330(k)(3)(G) of the PHS Act and 42 CFR Part 51c.303(f) and 42 CFR Part 51c.303(u) which are incorporated herewith. We will charge a nominal fee to individuals and families with annual incomes at or below 100% of the FPL. Patients whose incomes are above 100% or below 200% of the FPL will be charged according to our sliding fee scale based on income and family size. Discounts will be provided to patients with incomes up to 200% of the FPL for medical visits. Discounts will be provided to patients with incomes up to 250% of the FPL for family planning visits. Staff will assess patients’ incomes based upon a sliding fee scale and no patient will be denied care based upon their inability to pay. The organization also has a policy of nondiscrimination in the delivery of health care as stated in its Patient Bill of Rights. Also, the Board of Directors define the income and family size, and has defined the family size to be all parents, minors or guardians that are financially responsible for the household. The tracking and documentation of sliding fees is now maintained with the deposit record of each fee received in the shared file for immediate availability and reference.

Finding no.: 2022-002 Contact person(s) responsible: Kymberly Horner, Executive Director Corrective action planned: As has been addressed earlier in management’s response to Finding 2022-001, PCRI had created and filled two new positions in the Fiscal Department — the Controller and an additional Staff Accountant. The additional staff led to better internal controls and more timely reconciliations throughout 2022. Notwithstanding these efforts, time was needed to train personnel on PCRI systems and emphasis was put on the completion of the subsidiary audits for King Parks Apartments Limited Partnership and MLK & Cook Apartments Limited Partnerships, which are an integral part of the consolidated PCRI audit report, in the early months of 2022 leading to the noted delay in reconciliations for the PCRI audit. In addition to these delays, PCRI once again experienced turnover in the added Staff Accountant position in June of 2023, leading to delays and the employee in the Controller position went on an extended medical leave and subsequently ended employment with PCRI, leading to further delays. Further contributing to delays was the turnover of accounting staff at the property management company with whom PCRI contracts for management of the Maya Angelou and Park Terrace properties which lead to delays in starting those audit engagements which are integral to the consolidated PCRI audit report. In response to this cycle of staff turnover, PCRI contracted with an external service to fill the Staff Accountant position while the search for a permanent employee to fill the position continues to this day, and PCRI has subsequently hired a well-qualified person as Fiscal Director. The property manager for the Maya Angelou and Park Terrace properties has also taken steps to stabilize their accounting operations. These responses have mitigated the risk of delay of future audits as the additional personnel hired in response to the 2021 finding was effective were it not for the untimely turnover of staff during the time when the 2022 PCRI audit was being prepared for and conducted. Anticipated completion date: December 2023

ALLOWABLE ACTIVITIES AND ALLOWABLE COSTS - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause During 2022 payments of rental and utility assistance were entered as batches within the financial accounting software. A separate spreadsheet was utilized to track individual payments included within the batches. The original spreadsheet provided contained data entry errors. After revising for corrections, the detail provided by the Authority outlining individual payments was $472,226 lower than expenses reported in the financial reporting software and could not be reconciled by management. For 6 out of 60 cases tested, the amount paid for rent did not agree to a lease agreement or bills on file for the following reasons: (1) clerical errors, (2) duplicate payments due to multiple staff working on the same file, or (3) failure to request support before payment was made. The Authority did not have controls in place to detect the noncompliance prior to issuing payments. Recommendation We recommend the Authority revisit and strengthen internal controls over tracking individual payments for transactions entered as batches, particularly when related to federal awards. We encourage the Authority to continue working to identify the individual transactions making up the remainder of the federal expenditures under this program. We also recommend the Authority revisit and strengthen internal controls over allowable activities and allowable costs related to grant programs. Management Response The Authority launched the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) with little administrative guidance from the U.S. Treasury. The Authority contracted with the Berks Coalition to End Homelessness (BCEH) to undertake various aspects of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program and in the late fall of 2021, the Authority began reviewing all case documentation provided by BCEH. This review eliminated the vast majority of the errors noted. The Authority also updated case documentation checklists as well as provided training for staff involved with ERAP.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There were several factors that contributed to the difficulties we encountered submitting the required quarterly reports and have since remedied those issues. The Human Services Department has worked with Treasury on the challenges we encountered uploading the required reporting templates and we now has multiple people with access to the reporting portal and in the event of staff turnover we can continue to submit required reports. The Human Services Manager and the Budget and Finance Analyst have created reminders on their calendars to ensure reporting is completed on time and with accurate data.
