Identifying Number: 2022-002: Improper Preparation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Finding: The SEFA initially drafted and provided for formal audit documentation by the University contained all expenditures but was considered incomplete as the definition was expanded to include lost revenues which were not included in the first draft of the report. As a result, this finding is categorized as not complete as it did not include all ESF Institutional funds that should have been reportable for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Finding 2022-001 Identification of the Federal Program: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, United States Department of Defense Assistance Listing: Various ? Research & Development (R&D) Cluster Pass-Through Grantor: Various Pass-Through Award Number: Various Pass-Through Award Period: Various Federal Agency: Department of Homeland Security Assistance Listing: 97.036 ? COVID-19 Disaster Grants ? Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) (FEMA) Pass-Through Grantor: Michigan State Police Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division Pass-Through Award Number: 4494-DR-MI Pass-Through Award Period: 1/20/2020-7/1/2022 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Assistance Listing: 93.498 COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Pass-Through Award Period: 1/1/2020-12/31/2022 (Periods 3 and 4) Summary of finding: The draft Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) prepared by Corewell Health and Subsidiaries (the System) was misstated. Total federal expenses included on the Schedule were $102,235,937 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Total expenses included on the final Schedule were $101,562,371 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The federal expenditures were misstated as follows: See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table. Corrective Action Plan: The enhanced Schedule process and controls implemented by Corewell Health East in 2023 will be reviewed. The misstated amounts of the R&D Cluster occurred as a result of the timing of posted expenses during the first month of the merger of Spectrum Health and Beaumont Health in February 2022. This was a one-time occurrence and we do not anticipate that this will be an issue in future years. In addition, the successful implementation and transition to Workday, a new Corporate financial management system, has improved award setup functionality that enables improved differentiation of awards, identifying which need to be included on the annual Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and those that should be excluded. The understatement related to FEMA was a one-time occurrence related to the clarification of guidelines on the inclusion of a new Category Z FEMA obligation in 2022 on the SEFA. This has been corrected in 2023. The overstatement related to PRF was due to an initial inclusion of Corewell Health East funding on the Schedule as well as an adjustment related to the submitted amount of Corewell Health West funding on the Schedule. On the 2023 SEFA, a management review and sign-off of the inputs prior to submission will be implemented. Individuals responsible for corrective action: Giacomo DeChellis, Sr. Director, Research Operations, Corewell Health East and Cindy Brink, Director, System Accounting and Reporting Timing of corrective action: July 1, 2023 and going forward.

Management?s Views and Corrective Action Plan 2022-001: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards All Federal programs Federal Award year: 2021 Management?s Response Management agrees with the finding as it relates to the inclusive of expenditures of State awards. As part of the preparation and review of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the ?Schedule?), processes were in place to reconcile total expenditures under the program to the general ledger as well as the consolidated financial statements. In addition, analytical review was performed of variances in expenditures year-over-year, by program, to assess reasonableness of reported expenditures. During review of the 2021 CHIP program expenditures, management reconciled total expenditures to the general ledger and consolidated financial statements without exception, as both the general ledger and consolidated financial statements include total program expenditures (i.e., both federal and state are included). In addition, upon review of variances in total program expenditures in comparison to the previous award year, variances appeared reasonable as they remained relatively consistent year-over-year and with historical data. In fiscal year 2022, management has implemented additional steps into its reconciliation process to bifurcate the total expenditures between Federal and State expenditures prior to agreement to the general ledger and consolidated financial statements to ensure exclusion of State amounts when preparing the Schedule. In addition, within the analytical review process management utilizes the bifurcated totals to assess for reasonableness at the more detailed level regarding year-over-year variances. Anticipated Completion Date Additional reconciliation steps and bifurcation of amounts were implemented during the preparation and review of the 2022 Schedule. Responsible Parties ? Matthew Bazzani, Chief Accounting Officer, Highmark Health

During 2023, the newly elected County Auditor took on an active role in tracking the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds by preparing and maintaining spreadsheets so that the Commissioners have the most current information for making decisions. The County Auditor attends or watches/listens to the Commissioners’ meetings to make sure that she is updating the spreadsheets with all action taken by the Commissioners. Before submitting the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for the 2023 audit, we will consult with the Commissioners’ Office and the County Auditor to make sure that we are reporting the transactions correctly based on the spreadsheets prepared and maintained for such purposes.

Criteria: According to 2 CFR Subpart F Section 200.510b, the auditee must prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the period that includes all amounts spent on federal programs during the reporting period. Condition: The SEFA under-reported the expenditures for Charter Schools Program (CSP) by $24,206. Cause: The School prepared the SEFA based on the federal revenue recorded, rather than the actual federal expenditures incurred. Effect: An audit adjustment of $24,206 was made to increase the federal expenditures reported on the SEFA for the CSP program. Recommendation: We recommend that the School implement procedures whereby the SEFA is prepared based on federal expenditures incurred on a GAAP basis. Action Plan: The School has hired an accountant who will follow the accounting rules and standards for financial reporting using GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles).Persons Responsible: Tammy Chaney, Accountant
