Reporting - Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance Deemed not Material Identification of the Federal Program: Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution - 93.498. Finding Summary: The Authority tracked patiet care revenues internally within a spreadsheet. The calculations of revenue by payor within the spreadsheet and included in Period 2 report to HRSA, which are utilized to calculate lost revenues, contained errors. Responsible Individual: Dawn Ballard. Corrective Action Plan: While there were errors in the reported net patient revenue by payor for specific quarters, the total net patient service revenue, by quarter, was accurately reported and did not impact the calculated lost revenue. Management believes that the control process in place is sufficient to identify material errors in reported amounts. Anticipated Completion Date: January 15, 2025

Reporting - Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Identification of the Federal Program: Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution - 93.498. 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 the lost revenues because of deadlines. The fiscal year 2021 single audit identified unallowable expenses totaling $263,861. The Company 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 Individual: Dawn Ballard. Corrective Action Plan: Due to the timing of completion of the single audit requirements and identification of questioned costs, the report for Period 2 was unable to properly reflect the identified questioned costs. Management will implement process and procedures to ensure all required reports are completed accurately, in the event similar funding is received in the future.

ALN 21.023 - Lack of Internal Controls and Noncompliance with Reporting Requirement – Emergency Rental Assistance Program (Repeat Finding 2021-010) Beginning in October of 2021, the U.S. Department of the Treasury changed the ERA1 and ERA2 reporting requirements. In fact, each quarter of 2021 had various reporting changes. The County changed the manner of reporting which did result in difficulty in reconciling. Previous reports had several changes and had to be re-reconciled and amended. Therefore, it was determined to change to reporting when the subrecipient spent, rather than the county. The County contacted the U.S. Department of the Treasury, who stated any, and all reports should be corrected in the next reporting cycle, rather than retrospectively. The County agrees that some of the prior County Clerk’s records were not in proper order. The County has a new Clerk in place as of July 1, 2024, and is working diligently to improve processes and procedures to prevent this from occurring again in the future. Cleveland County takes the auditor's findings seriously and has already implemented several improvements in documentation, monitoring, and reporting practices. Cleveland County is working toward improvements for fiscal year 2025 and has reconciled billing to align with the contract scope of work. However, we recognize the need for documented internal controls and are committed to addressing all recommendations to ensure compliance and transparency in future programs. The County appreciates the constructive feedback and will continue to refine its processes to betterserve its citizens.

The Authority strives always to meet all regulatory deadlines. This particular deadline for the Single Audit was complicated by the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic (which, for many organizations such as ours, triggered a Single Audit requirement for the first time, and overwhelmed the audit profession with a surge of new Single Audits to conduct that did not exist previously). In the Authority’s case, the situation was further complicated by the fact that we were changing external audit firms moving into this particular reporting period. By the time the incumbent audit firm had issued its Single Audit report for Fiscal 2021, and the successor audit firm could therefore begin the Fiscal 2022 Single Audit, it was already beyond the reporting deadline of March 31, 2023. The Authority will have the same finding for the Fiscal 2023 Single Audit, for the same reason. We are hoping to be able to work successfully with the successor audit firm in order to file our Single Audit for Fiscal 2024 timely on or before March 31, 2025 and also have timely filings thereafter.

FINDING 2022-006 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Suspension and Debarment Summary of Finding: Material Weakness, Modified Opinion An effective internal control system, which would include segregation of duties, was not in place at the County in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the procurement and suspension and debarment compliance requirement. Prior to entering into subawards and covered transactions with Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF), SLFRF funds, recipients are required to verify that contractors and subrecipients are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded. Upon inquiring of the County to determine its policies and procedures related to suspension and debarment requirements for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF), SLFRF funds, the County stated procedures were not in place to ensure vendors were not suspended or debarred prior to entering into covered transactions. The County had not performed procedures to ensure the vendors were not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded or disqualified from participation in federal assistance programs or activities during the audit period on all of the four vendors tested, that were paid with SLFRF Funds.
