Views of Responsible Officials: In 2022, narrative program reports were prepared by the management team (inputs were provided by each thematic area/department), the Deputy Director (or her designee) reviewed, and the Managing Director approved and typically sent the narrative reports to United Way via email (or in some instances, uploaded to the United Way SharePoint directly). In 2022, financial reports were prepared by CBM, reviewed by the Deputy Director (with support from a Coordinator, when possible), and sent to the Managing Director for approval and signature. The signed documents were then uploaded into the United Way SharePoint, and a note was sent to advise that the documents were ready to review. Reimbursements have never been sent to United Way without the approval and signature of the Managing Director. United Way requires that all financial reports reflect Managing Director signature to be reviewed.

Views of Responsible Officials: A detailed Procurement process currently exists; however, due to staff attrition we were unable locate all the procurement documentation requested. We will continue to reinforce our Procurement policy (detailed below as it relates to documentation) and now require all documentation be stored in a Central location for all applicable Finance staff. This policy includes a required annual screening of any current vendors and has now been extended to contractors and consultants also. E. Procurement Records and Files: 1. Mary's Center will establish and maintain procurement records and files. The records will be kept in the office of the Chief Executive Officer and/or Finance office and virtual copies will be stored on the Finance shared folder. 2. Mary's Center will document in the procurement files some form of cost or price analysis made in connection with every procurement action. 3. For any contracted service (other than equipment-specific technical support), Mary's Center procurement file will include: a. Basis for selection of the contractor, b. Justification for lack of competition when competitive bids or prices are not obtained, and c. Basis for award cost or price. 4. These records and files will be kept in accordance with Mary's Center's Record Retention and Document Destruction Policy.

Views of Responsible Officials: As detailed in our Policy and Procedure document Mary's Center has developed a detailed pre-audit process to ensure our formal-year end closing occurs with no issues. In preparation for our annual audit, all accounts will be reconciled prior to the beginning of the audit period using a detailed workflow. The workflow includes a formalized checklist and workplan with the following tasks that need to be completed:  Patient Receivable Schedule Reconciliation  Patient Revenue Reconciliation  Asset and Liability Accounts Reconciliation Views of Responsible Officials (continued): Pre-Audit reconciliation efforts and adherence to the workflow will be co-led by the Assistant Controller, Director of Grants, and Director of Revenue Initiatives and reviewed by multiple levels of leadership. In addition, to combat the growth of our organization and additional regulations we have implemented or are in the process of implementing the following activities at Mary's Center:  Employed an experienced Grant director to oversee the grant department and optimize productivity and quality;  Actively enlisting the services of an experienced Finance Consultant to perform an assessment of the entire Finance department including current process and staffing needs;  Invested in technologies such as Sage Intacct ERP (industry leader) to replace manual processes;  Budgeted for additional Finance staffing in our upcoming annual budget to combat current capacity issues. Collectively, these processes and staffing updates will ensure Data Collection Forms are submitted timely going forward.

Views of Responsible Officials: Mary's Center now has a robust process where the agreed upon provisional indirect rate or (if applicable) the specific rate included in the final Grant agreement is the governing default rate used for each Grant. In any scenarios where a change in rate is being requested, the Program Manager alerts the Senior Grant Accountant assigned to the grant and provides supporting documentation from the Grant funder of an addendum to the existing Grant agreement. If for any reason the Finance team is using an upward or downward adjustment to the provisional indirect rate or what was agreed upon in the Grant agreement the EVP Finance and Director of Grants must approve this change and notify the EVPs of Health and Programs and Development prior to implementing this change. All changes are documented. In addition, to ensure the rate in the agreement is the same rate being used when invoicing Grant funders, the Finance team conducts a thorough reconciliation process during the year.

Views of Responsible Officials: Mary's Center now has the following process in place to directly address this issue. Please see details below: All cash disbursements must be supported by an automated invoice, contract, and/or valuation documentation in the financial accounting system (Sage Intacct) prior to payment. The same process applies for both purchase order and nonpurchase order related invoices. Any individual invoice exceeding $10,000 requires approval from both Department and Finance leadership prior to payment. Monthly Finance Team meetings are held to address staff's outstanding questions/concerns about workflows and processes.

The Deputy Finance Director and the Finance Department identified the transactions as potentially being incorrectly recorded; however, it was not identified timely and/or officially addressed, and was not detected by the Grants Administrator as being recorded in the incorrect period. At the moment the trial balances and year-end closing procedures were being completed, the City was operating without a Finance Director. The Deputy Finance Director and Finance Department were working diligently to review the accounting and handle various tasks, but were not able to timely address the issue with the specific transactions mentioned above. During June 2023, the City hired a Finance Director which will allow the Deputy Finance Director and staff to improve year-end closing procedures and will provide additional support to the Finance Department to ensure controls in place over financial reporting are sufficient. The Grants Administrator will be more involved in communicating with the Finance Department, at a minimum on a monthly basis, as related to reporting of expenditures that are being funded by federal, state, and local awards.

The County made the decision to contract a professional organization with a legal staff to monitor and prepare all funding requests for all SLFRF funds. In April, 2022 the first funding request and transfer request was received from the contracted firm and the transfer of funds was made in June, 2022. This request was presented on the county’s Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance and presented to the auditor. Because the request included some projected payroll amounts rather than actual payroll amounts, the auditor stated these projections were not allowable. The County Treasurer then reworked the schedule to include only expenses (payroll) paid through the date of transfer which the auditor said was in compliance. The questioned payroll costs disallowed can be substantiated and are immaterial. The finding regarding the Deputy Judge Executive salary of $4,967 being ineligible because paid by another grant is incorrect.

Program Name/Assistance Listing Title: COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Contact Person: Denise Watters, CEO Anticipated Completion Date: December 2023 Planned Corrective Action: The Club will take immediate steps to bolster its internal controls over payroll and non-payroll expenditures. Specifically, we will ensure the maintenance of proper documentation by obtaining and maintaining approved wage agreements for all employees paid from Federal awards. In addition, we will focus on retaining necessary purchase approvals and third-party invoices for non-payroll expenditures charged to the grant. This will guarantee the accuracy and allowability of costs charged to the program. Responsible officials will oversee the plan's implementation, and we will diligently uphold records to demonstrate our commitment to compliance with Federal award requirements. This corrective action plan is crucial to rectifying these issues and ensuring that our internal controls are effective and that we are in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and award terms and conditions.
