ALN: 93.575, 93.596, Corrective Action Plan: Inadequate Subrecipient Monitoring - CCDF - DPHHS - The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, Child Care and Development Fund programs have updated their 2023 contracts to include required disclosures. Risk assessments were completed annually, as required. However, the 2022 risk assessments were accidently copied over when completing the 2023 risk assessments. Controls have been updated to ensure copies of each risk assessment are now saved with procurement files to ensure files are not accidentally replaced.

ALN: 93.575, 93.596, Corrective Action Plan: Inadequate Obligations - ARPA Stabilization - DPHHS - The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services does not concur with finding 2023-063. The department obligated all funds and then reallocated the surplus to providers that had not received prior stabilization funds. Providers that received reallotted funds were required to provide email confirmation of their express intent to receive and utilize unliquidated funds prior to 09/30/2022, thereby meeting the intent of the obligation as defined in 45 CFR 75.2. The email from the department stated funding amounts will be determined based on other Montana providers by size. Child care providers responded to the email confirming they agreed to accept the funds. Once the providers confirmed they agreed to accept funds, the department had a valid obligation, and therefore did not request the waiver offered by our federal cognizant to extend the obligation period from Administration for Children and Families (ACF). The waiver was extended to all states in recognition of the difficulty states were experiencing meeting the obligation criteria. The desert payment amounts were based on a formula using the total previously obligated unliquidated grant funds and the size of the provider. In November 2022, letters were sent to providers outlining their portion of the previously obligated allotment.

FINDING 2023-001 Finding Subject: COVID19- Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Internal Controls Summary of Finding: The County had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls. A single employee received all accounts payable vouchers for expenditures from the SLFRF award. The employee was to review and approve the accounts payable voucher to ensure all expenditures were for allowable activities, allowable costs, and were within the period of performance prior to issuing payment from the SLFRF fund. Of the sixty accounts payable vouchers tested during the audit period, four were not properly reviewed or approved by the single employee responsible for implementing the control.

American Rescue Plan and Provider Relief Fund – Assistance Listing No. 93.498 Recommendation: We recommend that management implement more formal control process surrounding the use of federal awards where there is segregation between individuals identifying or proposing expenditures/uses of funds and an individual reviewing and approving that expenditure/use. We also recommend for any formal reporting required under federal awards that there be a formal review process where an individual is reviewing and approving the report who did not prepare the report. Documentation of review and approval should be retained in both cases. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned in response to finding: Regional Health Services of Howard County implemented a new policy for the tracking, review, and approval of grant fund use and reporting in January 2023.

FINDING 2023-002 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Reporting Summary of Finding: The County did not have procedures in place to prevent, or detect and correct, errors on Project and Expenditure (P&E) reports submitted to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The report submitted during the audit period included projects with current period obligations and cumulative obligations totaling $3,319,955 that had not yet been obligated by the end of the reporting period. It was recommended that management of the County design and implement a proper system of internal controls, including policies and procedures that would provide segregation of duties to ensure appropriate reviews, approvals, and oversight of federal reports are taking place and to ensure the County provides the Treasury with complete and accurate information for the P&E report.

FINDING 2023-001 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Suspension and Debarment Summary of Finding: The County did not have procedures in place for verifying that an entity with which is planned to enter into a covered transaction was not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded. The County did not verify suspension and debarment status prior to payment for all eight covered transactions totaling $2,425,309. It was recommended that the County establish a proper system of internal controls and develop policies and procedures to ensure beneficiaries that are paid $25,000 or more, all or in part with federal funds, are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded prior to entering into any contracts or subawards.

Finding 2023-02 Reporting (ALN 14.241) Indiana University Health established a control of programmatic review of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). A discrepancy in the amount of expenditures reported on the CAPER related to the Indiana Housing and Community Department Authority (IHCDA) grants for the report period ended June 30, 2023 was not discovered in review. Indiana University Health submitted a corrected, amended CAPER for this award period on July 19, 2024. The control for the amended CAPER (and for future CAPERs) was strengthened to include documented reconciliation to expenditures claimed as well as both programmatic and financial services review.

Finding Number: 2023-001 Allowable Costs/Cost Principles - Compliance and Internal Control Summary of Finding: The Code of Federal Regulations 2 CFR 200.303, Internal Control, requires the nonfederal entity to establish and maintain effective internal control over Federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing Federal awards in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and other terms and conditions. During the audit, we noted an instance for which an employee was reinstated and received retro-active payment for the months of September through November 2022 for which we were not able to substantiate the allowability of the payroll charges. Response to finding: This was an unusual and isolated incident. Management is working to ensure the appropriate procedures are in place to address this type of transaction in the future to comply with all internal controls. Corrective Action: Management will review current procedures and update to ensure compliance with our internal controls.

Finding Number: 2023-005 Reporting - Compliance and Internal Control Summary of Finding: CFR Section 200.303, Internal Controls, Section (a) states the Organization must establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the Organization is managing the federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the federal award. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control that should include controls over its reporting process. 2 CFR section 200.512(a) states that the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the audit period to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC). If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. The Uniform Guidance does not have a provision addressing whether the cognizant or oversight agencies may extend due dates. During the fiscal year, we noted that the Organization failed to submit the data collection form and reporting package to FAC on a timely basis. Response to finding: We agree with the finding. Corrective Action: The retaining of a new audit firm for the FY2023 audit, the departure of key staff and reorganizational issues, winding down of Heartland Alliance and spin-off of entities into their own companies all have prevented the timely filing this year. Each new spin-off company will now be responsible for their own Financial Audit and Heartland Alliance is winding down and will not require any further audits.

Finding 2023-001 – Allowable Activities and Costs of Provider Relief Fund Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Program: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund (PRF) and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Federal Assistance Listing Number: 93.498 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through Entity: None Criteria: Per 2 CFR 200.430(i), personnel costs charged to federal grants are required to be supported by documentation including time records. Per 2 CFR 200.303, a non-federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over Federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: Our audit procedures over the calculation of COVID patient days used to allocate the payroll cost to the PRF/ARP federal program disclosed the amounts were not properly calculated. Cause: The Medical Center has controls in place to review the calculation; however, the control did not operate to identify an error in the calculation of COVID patient days. Effect: The error in the calculation resulted in underreporting payroll costs allowed to be charged to PRF/ARP in the amount of $566,272. Questioned Costs: None Perspective: The error in the calculation resulted in underreporting payroll costs allowed to be charged to PRF/ARP in the amount of $566,272. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the Medical Center implement additional internal controls over compliance in order to properly identify any errors in calculation. Management’s Action Plan: The Medical Center will implement additional internal controls over compliance. Such controls will include verification of all calculations used by two parties, the Director of Finance and CFO as well as signoff on calculations.

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Abby Doyle, Chief Deputy Auditor Contact Phone Number: (574) 235-9668 ext. 7201 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the audit finding with respect to the failure of having processes and procedures in place to prohibit from contracting with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended and debarred or whose principals are suspended or debarred. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Currently, the County requires all new vendors to complete the attached “Vendor Registration Form”. On page 5 the vendor acknowledges they have not or are currently not suspended and debarred. A new step that Procurement implemented as of July 14, 2023 was verification of vendor’s status on sam.gov and attaching the screenshot to the LOW system. Procurement will update their vendor policy to specifically include this step in 2024. On July 14, 2023, County Attorney issued a statement enforcing the following verbiage to be added to all contracts. Debarment and Suspension 1. Contractor certifies, by entering into this Agreement, that neither it nor its principals are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from or ineligible for participation in any Federal assistance program by and Federal department or agency, or by any department, agency, or political subdivision of the State of Indiana. The term “principal” for purposes of the Agreement means an officer, director, owner, partner, key employee, or the person with primary management or supervisory responsibilities, or a person who has a critical influence on or substantive control over the operation of the Contractor. 2. Contractor certifies, by entering into this Agreement, that is does not engage in investment activities in Iran as more particularly described in IC 5-22-16.5. 3. Contractor shall provide immediate written notice to County if, at any time after entering into this Agreement, Contractor learns that its certifications were erroneous when submitted, or Contractor is debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, has been included on a list or received notice of intent to include on a list created pursuant to IC 5-22-16.5, voluntarily excluded from or becomes ineligible for participation in any Federal assistance program. Any such event shall be cause for termination of this agreement as provided herein. 4. Contractor shall not subcontract with any party which is debarred or suspended or is otherwise excluded from on ineligible for participation in any Federal assistance programs by any federal department or agency, or by any department, agency or political subdivision of the State of Indiana. Next, the County Attorney provided guidance to all departments to verify vendors prior to engaging in a contract. Below is the verbiage from the County Attorney to staff on July 14, 2023. The state has asked us to verify that the entity we are contracting with is not debarred by visiting the following websites and running a search: https://sam.gov/content/exclusions https://www.in.gov/idoa/procurement/supplier-resource-center/supplier-responsibilities/ Termination for Failure of Funding Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if funds for the continued fulfillment of this Agreement by County are at any time insufficient or not forthcoming through a failure of any entity to appropriate funds or otherwise, then the County shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without penalty by giving written notice documenting the lack of funding, in which instance this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void on the last day of the fiscal period for which appropriations were received. County agrees to make its best efforts to obtain sufficient funds, including but not limited to, requesting in its budget for each fiscal period during the term hereof sufficient funds to meet its obligations hereunder in full. For public works projects: Compliance With E-Verify Program. Pursuant to IC 22-5-1.7, Consultant shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility status of all newly hired employees of Consultant through the E-Verify Program (“Program”). Consultant is not required to verify the work eligibility status of all newly hired employees through the Program if the Program no longer exists. Consultant and its subcontractors shall not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien or retain an employee or contract with a person that Consultant or its subcontractor subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien. If Consultant violates this Section, County shall require Consultant to remedy the violation not later than thirty (30) days after County notifies Consultant. If Consultant fails to remedy the violation within the thirty (30) day period, County shall terminate the contract for breach of contract. If County terminates the contract, Consultant shall, in addition to any other contractual remedies, be liable to County for actual damages. There is a rebuttable presumption that Consultant did not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien if Consultant verified the work eligibility status of the employee through the Program. If Consultant employs or contracts with an unauthorized alien but County determines that terminating the contract would be detrimental to the public interest or public property, County may allow the contract to remain in effect until County procures a new contractor. Consultant shall, prior to performing any work, require each subcontractor to certify to Consultant that the subcontractor does not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien and has enrolled in the Program. Consultant shall maintain on file a certification from each subcontractor throughout the duration of the Project. If Consultant determines that a subcontractor is in violation of this Section, Consultant may terminate its contract with the subcontractor for such violation. Pursuant to IC 22-5-1.7 a fully executed affidavit affirming that the business entity does not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien and confirming Consultant’s enrollment in the Program, unless the Program no longer exists, shall be filed with County prior to the execution of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be deemed fully executed until such affidavit is filed with the County. Lastly, the Commissioner’s Assistant will check incoming contracts from departments to ensure proper documentation is attached that verifies the vendor has been checked through sam.gov and in.gov. Once the contract has been approved by the Commissioners, the Auditor’s office will then upload the contract and supporting documents onto Gateway. Completion Date: June 24, 2024

The department concurs with this finding and plans the following: The NH DDS will have written policies and procedures in place that ensure the validity (non-expired) of medical licenses for providers, as well as the suspension & debarment status of providers. Policies will be in place for pre-hire interested parties, as well as more than annual re-reviews. Aside from written policies and procedures, we will develop a spreadsheet to be completed for each individual review done and we will maintain a documents folder to retain electronic proofs in. Proofs will be retained for 6 years. At this time, the Administrator meets with the Professional Relations Officer every two weeks. Discussions and oversight of these policies, procedures, spreadsheet completion and proofs documentation can be done on, before and after these reviews.

(SSA 4513) The department concurs with this finding and plans to work on the following areas to make reviewing and understanding of the reports an easier process: NHDDS will make sure that line 7 on the 4513 report is checked appropriately on all future reporting. NH DDS will update all process directions for all fiscal reporting. For these directions, NH DDS will update all spreadsheets used for reporting purposes, add labels to column headers and link to cells when able for better understanding of our business processes and where amounts are pulled from. NH DDS will keep all backup documentation needed for these directions, to review all current open grant years. NHDDS will create “Mock” documents of each reporting process to help in any further reviews. (SSA 4514) Administrator runs a leave report for a 1-month time frame. Put in alpha order and date order. In an excel spreadsheet, staff are in alpha order. Leave time is added to each individual staff member for a time frame of 3 months (quarterly report). The total for each individual staff member is then populated to a second spread sheet which is broken out by position categories and each position total is then populated to the 4514 report. • On Duty Hours (column A) are the number of days worked in a quarter, times 7.50 hours per day. • Holiday/Leave Hours (column B) are the number of Holidays (7.50 hours per day) during that quarter plus the amount of leave (hours and minutes) per individual staff member during that quarter. • Total Hours (column C) is the amount of column A, plus column B, equals column C. • Total Part-Time Personnel-Is the number of hours the physician worked during that quarter. A report is run in Virtual Time Clock for the quarterly time frame and hours are entered into Part-Time, Medical Consultants (h.) Prior to completing the quarterly report, the excel spread sheet, sheet 2, will be reviewed to ensure cell equations are correct to eliminate formula errors used to calculate quarterly hours. When emailing the Administrator, the quarterly report for signature, the following statement will be in the body of the email to certify cell equations were reviewed prior, to eliminate formula errors: “I certify that I reviewed the SSA-4514 prior to completion, to ensure that cell equations were correct to eliminate formula errors.” Sent to the Administrator for signature then sent off to Region. Sent emails will be saved in an outlook folder for future reference and proofs that reports were sent.
