Finding 2023-005 Department of Health and Human Services Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.697 COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation for Rural Health Clinics Procurement, Suspension, and Debarment Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Finding Summary: The Health System did not obtain quotes from multiple vendors as it relates to the procurement and purchasing of flooring which was over the micro-purchase threshold. In addition, the Health System did not have a written procurement policy or written standards of conduct policy related to procurement. Responsible Individuals: Diana Swindler, CFO Corrective Action Plan: Tri Valley Health System will implement a procurement policy and standards of conduct policy related to procurement, implement internal control processes to ensure compliance with their procurement policy, and retain documentation to support procurement, suspension and debarment procedures performed.

Department of Health and Human Services Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.697 COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation for Rural Health Clinics Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Period of Performance Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Finding Summary: The Health System’s expense tracking spreadsheet, which identified the expenses claimed under the federal program as allowable costs included three expenses which were subsequent to December 31, 2022, and therefore, outside the period of performance. Although invoices were approved for payment, only one invoice included documentation relating to specific approval as allowable costs related to the grant. Likewise, the Health System’s expense tracking spreadsheet did not include a documented secondary review and approval by someone other than the preparer. Responsible Individuals: Diana Swindler, CFO Corrective Action Plan: Tri Valley Health System will implement a control process which includes an independent review and approval of the expense tracking spreadsheet which identifies the expenses claimed under the federal program as allowable costs and retain documentation of the review process. The expenses referenced as being outside of the period of performance were costs to a vendor whom was contracted/engaged prior to the period of performance. Due to supply chain/vendor demand issues, the work was completed subsequent to the period of performance. It was our understanding that these are eligible expenses under the program, as the work and payment was delayed due to supply chain/vendor demand issues. However, if necessary, we have identified other qualifying expenditures incurred within the period of performance we can submit which will satisfy allowable costs claimed for the period of performance. Anticipated Completion Date: 01/31/2024

Executive Director of Finance: Management agrees with this finding. The school district converted to a new financial ERP system as of July 1, 2023. The new ERP system flags any duplicate invoice numbers that maybe entered. The Accounts Payable (A/P) staff will verify if payment has already been made. On occasion, payment requests do not have an invoice number. To prevent duplicate payments, the Accounts Payable staff require original invoices and uses a system generated invoice number, or a will use a manual entry numbering convention to prevent duplicate invoice numbers. The invoice data is entered by an Accounts Payable specialist and reviewed by the Accounts Payable Manager. On occasion, A/P must request corrected invoices from vendors who try and reuse invoice numbers. The A/P Manager reviews invoice numbers during the check run for accuracy. Purchasing and A/P will also periodically review the vendor database for duplicate vendors. For construction projects that list a pay application number instead of an invoice number, A/P will implement a consistent invoice numbering convention to avoid duplicate payments. The A/P specialists will also review the PO payment history prior to processing.

Audit Finding: ALN: 10.656 Grant No.: 204642 Grant Period: Year ended September 30, 2023 Type of finding – Significant deficiency in internal control over compliance Response: Agree Explanation/Corrective Action: • Scanning Applications: o Applications are physically filed by volunteers, then scanned into SharePoint and filed electronically. o SharePoint does not recognize hand-written applications, so we use a filing spreadsheet to track specific batch numbers for applications, which gives us the ability to trace an individual document. If the document is typed, then it can be recognized through a search in SharePoint.  Our SOP document for scanning applications can be found on the CSFP Sharepoint site. o We have two volunteers who are scanning on a weekly basis (between 150-250 applications scanned weekly), and we will continue to prioritize this project as more staff/volunteer hours become available. • If an application is missing: o Confirm that application information is in ClientTrack and document through a generated printed application. o Send application to distribution site for next distribution, to ensure participant signs new application before they receive another CSFP box. Anticipated Completion Date: We currently have two volunteers who are scanning on a weekly basis (between 150-250 applications scanned weekly), and we will continue to prioritize this project as more staff/volunteer hours become available. The current backlog is around one year with plans to get caught up using additional resources in the next few months.

Finding 2023-004 Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution Federal Assistance Listing #93.498 Finding Summary: The operations of HealthCenter Northwest, LLC (HC) were consolidated into Kalispell Regional Medical Center d/b/a Logan Health Medical Center (LHMC) as of December 31, 2020. When LHMC calculated their lost revenues, they included HC’s revenue for both 2020 and 2021 instead of only the 2021 information. This resulted in LHMC reporting higher lost revenues than the detailed reports supported in Period 3. This was corrected in Period 4 reporting. Responsible Individuals: Craig Lambrecht, CEO and Cole Turner, CFO Corrective Action Plan: The lost revenue calculation will be re-evaluated and the amount of lost revenue reported on the HHS reporting portal has been updated in Period 4.

Finding 2023-003 Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution Federal Assistance Listing #93.498 Finding Summary: In some of the quarters for certain entities, it was noted that bad debt expenses were higher than revenues, creating a negative revenue for the quarter. As the HHS reporting portal would not allow negative amounts to be entered, a zero was entered into the HHS reporting portal. These negative amounts should have been offset to other quarters or other revenue line items, but were not, which resulted in higher revenue amounts being reported than the detailed reports supported for two locations for Period 3. Responsible Individuals: Craig Lambrecht, CEO and Cole Turner, CFO Corrective Action Plan: The lost revenue calculation for these two locations will be re-evaluated and the amount of lost revenue reported on the HHS reporting portal will be updated in future periods.
