2022-003 ? Allowable Costs/Activities Allowed or Unallowed: Fringe Benefits and Shared Costs Name of Responsible Individual(s): Pamela Aguilera, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Action: During the initial year of receiving our first direct federal grant, Safe & Sound calculated fringe benefits based on a percentage of the salaries allocated to the grant. Salaries were calculated based on time and effort. Safe & Sound has reviewed the current practices related to allocating fringe benefits and shared costs. Safe & Sound?s Finance team reviewed and verified that we have the adequate fringe benefit and shared costs to meet the costs allocated to this grant. To ensure we have the proper supporting documentation to meet the Uniform Guidance requirements in 2 CFR Sections 200.303 and 200.403, we will implement time and effort documentation for benefit and shared cost allocations on a monthly basis and will review for any necessary budget to actual adjustments.

Information on the federal program: Subject: Special Education Cluster - Earmarking Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: Special Education Grants to States, Special Education Preschool Grants ALN: 84.027, 84.173 Federal Award Numbers and Years: 19611-045-PN01 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirements: Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking Audit Findings: Material Weakness Context: The School Corporation is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all its members. As the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. However, there was inadequate oversight performed by the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with the Matching, Level of Effort, and Earmarking compliance requirements. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the earmarking requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for non-public school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure non-public school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance was isolated to the 19611-045-PN01 and 20611-045-PNO1 grant awards. The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 19611-045-PN01 grant award could not be verified for the individual member schools. The non-public school share funds for all member schools were comingled and the aggregate amount of expenditures was then allocated to the member schools ona percentage basis. These allocations were the amounts reported to IDOE. As such, we were unable to identify which expenditures were for each school in order to verify the minimum amount per the grant award was expended and properly reported to IDOE as required. The School Corporation?s minimum earmarking requirement for the 19611-045-PNO1 grant award was $6,228. The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 20611-045-PN01 and 21611-045-PNO1 grant awards could not be verified for the individual member schools. The non-public school share funds for all member schools were comingled and the aggregate amount of expenditures was then allocated to the member schools on a percentage basis. These allocations were the amounts reported to IDOE. As such, we were unable to identify which expenditures were for each school in order to verify the minimum amount per the grant award was expended and properly reported to IDOE as required.Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The district agrees with the finding and notes as a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative (NISEC), Tri-Creek School Corporation reported their proportionate share based on a percentage of expenditures and had successful audits in doing so. When the Tri-Creek School Corporation was notified that this process was no longer acceptable, we immediately implemented an internal control process with NISEC which included a detailed reporting of staff work hours for nonpublic schools related to only our school corporation. The report is then reviewed and signed by the NISEC staff working for the nonpublic school and their supervisor. The employee's detailed time and effort report is then provided to the NISEC finance department for a second review and signature before being provided to payroll. NISEC payroll then charges the proportionate share to the IDEA Part B grant in the payroll system bi-weekly based on the time and effort report pertinent to just Tri-Creek Non-Public schools. The time and effort reports are then used to submit the reimbursement request to the Department of Education for Tri Creek?s proportionate share. Additionally, any IDEA Part B nonpublic material expense is broken out in detail with Tri-Creek?s proportionate share for approval by the NISEC finance office prior to vendor payment and the reimbursement request is submitted to the Department of Education. Responsible party and timeline for completion: Responsible parties: Lisa Rosinko, Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: The Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative discontinued reporting nonpublic proportionate share expenditures by percentage as of the 2022-2023 school year. An internal control procedure to report nonpublic proportionate share expenditures by detailed time and effort work and expenditures was implemented as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Finding 2022-003 Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation for Rural Health Clinics FFAL #93.697 Compliance Requirements: Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles and Period of Performance Finding Summary: The Facility's expense tracking spreadsheet which identified the expenses claimed under the federal program as allowable costs included three expenses which related to a future period. The Facility also claimed the cost of eleven chairs which had been returned to the third-party vendor during November 2022. A formula error was also identified within the calculation of clinic salaries and fringe benefits claimed under the federal program which was based upon a prorated basis of COVID related clinic visits as a percentage of total clinic visits. The Facility had multiple individuals identifying and compiling eligible expenses; however, the Facility's review and approval process over the Facility's expense tracking spreadsheet was not formally documented. Responsible Individuals: Phillip Husher, CFO, Freeman Regional Health Services Corrective Action Plan: We understand that future expenses and expenses for the chairs returned cannot be claimed under FFAL#93.697. We feel this will not require us to return funds to the Department of Health and Human Services as other eligible expenses qualifying under the COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation for Rural Health Clinics Program FFAL #93.697 were available. We know and understand the importance of reporting accurate information. We will have a formal review and approval process documented for future submissions. We agree with findings reported above.

Period 2 TIN #420953968 Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.498 Compliance Requirement: Reporting Finding Summary: The Organization selected option ii to calculate lost revenue, which consists of a comparison of actual results during the period of availability to the approved budget. The Organization did not have a budget for the entire reporting period that was approved prior to March 27, 2020. For the periods that the Organization did not have an approved budget, the Organization calculated lost revenues using a budget approved by their board after March 27, 2020. The Organization also did not adjust patient revenue for certain adjusting entries identified as part of the financial statement audit, which should have been included to calculate net patient revenue. In addition, the Organization, did not back out lost revenues that had been claimed by other funds. When the Organization tried to reopen their report during the single audit, the Organization was informed that amendments were not allowed. Finally, the Organization?s lost revenue claimed under the program as an allowable cost was not fully reviewed and approved by a separate individual outside of the preparer. Responsible Individuals: Mario Van Dijk, CFO Corrective Action Plan: Our budget for FY 2020 was approved prior to the March 2020 deadline identified. We therefore used Method 2 since the budget had been approved. However, we should?ve used Method 3 which would?ve allowed FY 2021 and later to compare actual to budget. We contacted HRSA during our single audit to try and have our reporting reopened so that we could amend the reporting, however that request was denied. If we had been able to reopen our report, we also would have adjusted lost revenue for adjusting entries identified as part of the financial statement audit and other sources that used lost revenue. However, the total lost revenue used to claim PRF would not have changed as we had significant excess lost revenue, so net effect in changes would be none.

Please allow this correspondence to serve as Cook County Health (CCH) and Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) response to the audit findings. During the FY2022 Single Audit, six audit findings were identified by Washington, Pittman & McKeever, LLC. CCH and CCDPH will address the recommendations of the auditors by taking the following Corrective Action Plans (CAP) outlined below: Finding 2022-004: regarding not maintaining adequate controls over allowable costs as required by Federal regulations. Cause: The cause of this finding resulted from Program Leads and the Accounts Payable unit not following the established requirements for properly supporting invoices for services provided. The invoices that were attached in EBS Oracle were insufficient as required by the established County Policy. Correction Action: The CCH Director of Grants Accounting will be responsible for training the Program Leads and Account Payable (AP) unit to ensure proper supporting documents are attached to each invoice as required by the established County Policy. In the event the AP unit determines more supporting documentation is needed, then the Program Director/Lead will assist in obtaining proper supporting documents from partnered subrecipients and/or vendors. Supporting documents may include additional timesheets, payroll registers, T&E justification, etc. Issues will be flagged (based on assessed risk) by applying requirements identified in the CCH Subrecipient Monitoring Policy. Anticipated completion of the corrective action will be December 31, 2023.

Finding #2022-005: regarding CCDPH not adequately complying with federal regulations over allowable costs. Cause: The cause of this finding resulted from not following the established controls that ensure proper support documentation is included with the journal entry chargeback entries prepared by Finance staff to justify the charges incurred to the Grant. Additionally, the Program Lead (key personnel) assigned to the program left the organization prior to the Grant ending which affected the periodic review for allowable costs/charges. Corrective Action: The CCH Director of Grant Accounting will reinforce current internal controls so that the reviewer/approver (staff who prepares the chargeback) includes proper supporting documents and attaches to the entries in the EBS Oracle System. Additionally, the CCH Director of Grant Accounting will continue to reinforce current CCH procedures and ensure Grant expenditures are periodically reviewed and checked for allowability and reasonableness (based on activities) by both the Finance and Programmatic areas. Anticipated completion of the corrective action will be December 31, 2023.

Subject: Corrective Action Plan For: Finding 2022-010 Cook County Health would like to respond to the finding related to the Provider Relief Fund {PRF) Phase 2 Reporting. The FY'22 SEFA amount (including both lost revenues and expenditures) for the HRSA PRF Phase 2 Reporting period was $31,163,323.35. Cause: The cause of this finding resulted from a misunderstanding of the expense data that was rolling/ inputted in the HRSA portal. The Unreimbursed Expenses line should have been inputted as Other PRF Expenses. CCH Management has instituted the following Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to prevent future occurrence. Corrective Action Plan: To ensure accurate data is reported, CCH has implemented the following corrective action plan: ? Any future HRSA- PRF Audit Portal data submission will require multiple reviews. The review will be led by CCH Finance's Associate Chief Financial Officer to ensure the report is accurate and complete prior to submission. Status - Phase 4 PRF Reporting was reviewed on March 28th, 2023, by the CFO and ACFO prior to submission. ? To buttress this CAP, CCH has created a dedicated GL account code to track all PRF activities - lost revenue, cash disbursed, and expenses incurred. Fully Implemented since - (August 30th, 2022) ? A recurring monthly reconciliation meeting has been instituted to track lost revenues, and expenses that were paid with PRF and not through any other type of assistance. Recurring Monthly Reconciliation Leader- Scott Spencer, Associate Chief Financial Officer. Please note that CCH has not received any PRF funding since January 2022.
