Corrective Action Plans

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH 2023-034 Opioid – STR - Assistance Listing No. 93.788 Action taken in response to the finding: We are currently working on implementing training during on boarding as well as annual refresher training for these key fiscal requirements including time and effort reporting and plan to have these trainings in place by the end of the 2024 calendar year. In the interim the BSAS grants office will work with Grant PIs to train staff on time and effort reporting, correct any issues with duplicative effort reporting, and ensure staff are allocated to grants in proportion to their actual time worked. This is being corrected by the BSAS grants director and all corrections have been documented through PARS reports. This particular finding was in relation to an Interdepartmental Service Agreement ISA (815 CMR 6.00) with The Dukes County Sheriff’s Office (department) for which we do not have direct access to their payroll. We will be including in future ISA agreements, language that states that monthly detailed payroll reports associated with ISA funds must be submitted to the BSAS ISA office for review. These records will be reviewed by the BSAS ISA manager, and any corrections required will be relayed to the ISA child agency by the BSAS ISA manager via email for documentation. If any child agency is repeatedly non-compliant we will work with them on a corrective action plan for their site. If the issues are not resolved we will review the status of their agreement, and our continued relationship with them. All related records will be kept in the BSAS ISA offices Teams files for the child agency. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Shannon McEneaney-Farron, BSAS Fiscal Director Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Ongoing. This process will commence as of July 1, 2024.
