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

2023-001 REPORTING - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The auditee did not have any documented or implemented internal controls over the review of federal program reporting requirements. Reports were prepared and submitted without documentation of supervisory review or verification of accuracy and completeness. Management did not design or implement procedures to review reports prior to submission, relying solely on the preparer's knowledge without formal oversight. Recommendation We recommend that all grant reports are reviewed by a person independent of the preparer who has knowledge of the grant requirements. This review should include comparing the amounts reported to detailed support for accuracy. We also recommend the Authority review its recordkeeping procedures for documentation related to grant reporting. There should be a process in place to ensure all required documentation is maintained and filed in an orderly system that allows the Authority to locate and provide documentation when required. Management Response In general, management agrees with the finding. It should be noted that internal controls for supervisory review of reporting requirements were in place but were not written controls or processes. Reporting for the CDBG Program is accomplished through the preparation of the annual Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Repo11 CAPER). Written policies and procedures for the CAPER have been developed. Reporting for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program is accomplished through an online reporting system of the U.S. Treasury and by email to the Pennsylvania Human Services Department. Written policies and procedures have been developed.

Finding 2023-001 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment (Material Weakness) Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the District in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the simplified acquisitions procurement method of the Procurement and Suspension and Debarment compliance requirement.

For the second selection, the request for proposal, bids received, and scoring rubric were not provided. Additionally, evidence of a suspension and debarment check for both selections was not available. The District did not have a formal procurement policy documented. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Management will ensure that a procurement policy is adopted and followed and documents to support the process and vendor selections are maintained.

Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, and Reporting - Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Assistance Listing Number: 93.498 Program Name: Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Finding Summary: There was no documentation of review and approval of the expenditure listing, lost revenue calculation, or the Department of Health and Human Services Period 4 report prior to submission of the HHS Period 4 report. Responsible Individuals: Dawn Ballard Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. Due to the small accounting staff, there was little internal review of the calculations resulting in unallowed expenditures based on underlying supporting schedules that was not recognized until single audit. The Authority has adopted policies where every spreadsheet and schedule will be reviewed and checked by a second member of the Administration team as well as final review by the Contracted CPA. Anticipated Completion Date: September 29, 2023

Reporting - Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Assistance Listing Number: 93.498 Program Name: Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Finding Summary: The Authority selected Option 1, as defined by HRSA, to calculate lost revenue. This option consists of reporting actual revenues from relevant quarters in the period of availability with the system calculating lost revenues because of declines. The fiscal year 2021 single audit identified unallowable expenses totaling $263,861. The Authority utilized excess lost revenues at the time to cover this difference. To capture the use of these lost revenues from Period 1, the Authority should have used Option 3, as defined by HRSA, to calculate and report lost revenues. Within that calculation, lost revenues could then be reduced by the $263,861. Responsible Individuals: Dawn Ballard Corrective Action Plan: Due to the timing of completion of the 2021 single audit, which included the identification of questioned costs, and the deadline for the Period 4 Provider Relief Fund report to the HHS portal, the Period 4 report was submitted utilizing Option 1. The Authority does not expect to complete any additional HHS reports related to this program. Management will implement a process and procedures to ensure all required reports are completed accurately, in the event similar funding is received in the future. Anticipated Completion Date: January 16, 2025
