Finding 2022-005: Activities Allowed and Allowable Costs Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services CFDA #93.829 Program Name: Section 223 Demonstration Programs to Improve Community Mental Health Services Finding Summary: Employees did not enter all nonfederal hours within the ClickTime system and the secondary review of the employee ClickTime timecards did not identify the missing hours. In addition, the secondary review of federal grant expenditure tracking spreadsheet did not identify the calculation errors. The Center?s controls did not detect or correct the errors identified, which results in a reasonable possibility that the Center could submit disallowed costs under the federal awards and would not be able to detect and correct noncompliance in a timely manner. A sample of expenditures selected for testing, noted the following items: a) ClickTime timecard, which tracks federal and nonfederal hours for employees, did not properly reflect the employees total federal and nonfederal hours being paid within the payroll register (7 instances). b) Calculation errors for expenses allocated to the grant (2 instances). Responsible Individuals: Staff Supervisors (Abbie Tesch, Amber Utesch, Christina Eggink-Postma, Karen Rosengreen, Jason Low, Missy Martini, Rebecca McCrackin, Sarah Heinrichs, Stephanie Pohar) and Project Accounts Manager (Marsha Bomgaars) Corrective Action Plan: Staff supervisors are to compare ClickTime entries with payroll system entries to ensure they match. The Project Accounts Manager will compare all ClickTime reports and payroll reports to ensure they match and are accurate. Anticipated Completion Date: In November 2022, the Center began reconciling ClickTime reports with payroll reports using an excel spreadsheet to identify discrepancies between the ClickTime timecards and the payroll register to help ensure all hours are accurately reported.
