DOM identified this issue during reporting of the March 31, 2022 federal expenditures. Per 45 CFR ?95.1, DOM has two years (seven quarters following the occurrence of the expenditure) to make adjusting entries to claim additional expenditures. DOM Does not Concur. DOM has fully corrected finding 2021-041 on the Schedule of Prior Year Findings. This finding is based on OSA's belief that DOM should be using state tax data to determine eligibility of applicants. However, DOM does not have statutory authority to access this information. DOM utilizes all available tools, in accordance with the CMS approved state plan, to evaluate the eligibility of applicants; thus, this finding is Fully Corrected as DOM is complying with all CMS regulations and the approved state plan. Further, DOM performed training and made operational changes for all other issues noted in finding 2021-041. There are internal controls in place to limit the number of errors and annual training is conducted that includes examples of issues noted, along with preventive and corrective solutions. Human error is a part of any manual process and cannot be completely eliminated. DOM Corrective Action Plan: a. DOM made adjustments to the costs identified in this audit finding in the June 30, 2023 federal reports. In addition, a reconciliation has been added to the spreadsheets used for reporting of federal expenditures to ensure all expenditures are reported properly going forward. b. Christine Woodberry c.
