The Agency acknowledges this error and agrees with the recommendations. The Agency provides the additional context that it has been determined that where incorrect drawdowns were made - they were underdrawn, not overdrawn. No drawdowns were determined to include anything beyond known, justifiable, and allowable expenses. Previous T &TA support from the Office of Head Start and monitoring reviews from other fiscal agencies had not previously revealed this concern and recommendations were made to carry out drawdowns in this manner. The Finance department is actively working with the new recommendation from the auditors to use the accounting system (MIP) and to implement a new payroll and reconciliation procedure which will prevent future errors.

Finding: We found one (1) instance where adequate documentation was not maintained to ensure the appropriate amount was charged to a patient based on the sliding fee policy in place. Upon further analysis, there were a total of four (4) instances where appropriate documentation was not maintained relating to fiscal year 2025. Uniform Guidance requires the Organization to be in compliance with special tests and provisions. This includes maintaining appropriate documentation of the application and fee determination for every patient utilizing the sliding fee discount. This is a repeat of finding 2024-003 from the prior year. One error was identified during our testing. Expanded procedures identified that the population impacted were four individuals. The amount of questioned costs cannot be determined. A sample of 40 individuals were selected and tested for compliance with the Organization's sliding fee policy. One (1) known compliance error was found during testing of the 40 individuals. Upon analyzing the entire population, it was determined that a total of four (4) files were not in compliance. The Organization was not in compliance with the requirements of the federal program due to a scanner malfunction where the application and supporting documentation were not adequately scanned, resulting in a corrupt file. Cause: Management has indicated that the scanner malfunction lead to the noncompliance. Upon the realization of the scanner issue, it was replaced and an analysis was performed for any other patient files that may have been corrupted. Management review of the entire population identified a total of (4) four files that were corrupt relating to fiscal year 2025. Corrective Response: Management is in agreement with the above analysis by the auditors. The issue was discovered and corrected with an update to the server and an update to the process to ensure that all scans are reviewed prior to the destruction of the original documents. This was fully resolved prior to the fiscal year end. Anticipated Completion Date: 3/31/2025 Responsible Contact Person: CFO/Revenue Cycle Director/Director of Clinical Ops/Vice President of IT

Finding: The enrollment statuses in the National Student Loan Data System for students who took a Regular Academic Hiatus were incorrect during the time of their hiatus. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: FNU will change the reported enrollment status of all students on a regular Academic Hiatus (AH) from “Enrolled” to “Leave of Absence (LOA)” in the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Note that both status types indicate an enrolled status per NSC. To support this change, FNU will revise its internal procedures to ensure that students on a regular AH are coded as “Leave” in the Student Learning Management System. This status accurately reflects a temporary interruption in their program of study and aligns with enrollment reporting requirements. We will strengthen training for all staff involved in enrollment status reporting to ensure consistent understanding and proper implementation of the updated procedures. We believe these steps are important for improving the accuracy of our reporting and staying in compliance with federal student aid requirements.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions – To address the identified issues related to student withdrawal processing and Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculations, the University will implement the following steps: 1. Process Review and Collaboration: A joint meeting will be held with key personnel from Academic Records and Financial Aid to review current withdrawal procedures, including the use of drop and exit forms. Emphasis will be placed on ensuring that appropriate withdrawal codes are consistently applied to support accurate and automated R2T4 processing. The goal is to establish a unified and clearly documented process that meets the operational needs of both departments. 2. Systematic Scheduling and Monitoring: Withdrawal-related tasks, including the running of BANNER return reports and other custom reports developed by the IT team, will be scheduled at regular intervals to ensure timely identification and processing of student withdrawals. These tasks will be integrated into departmental calendars, with scheduled dates already entered for the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 semesters. 3. Ongoing Oversight and Communication: A communication protocol will be developed to ensure that all relevant documentation, including drop forms, is consistently shared between departments. This will help prevent delays in processing and ensure compliance with federal financial aid regulations.

The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Financial Statement Findings: Finding 2025.001 - Sliding Fee Scale Documentation Recommendation The Organization should establish a system of internal controls to ensure that all sliding fee discounts are properly calculated and supported based on family size and income. Action Taken GFH implemented an O&E Department (Onboarding and Enrollment) July 2023. This has been a timely process, but it has been implemented across all clinic sites. The purpose of this department is to ensure all required documentation is current, accurate, scanned in chart and applied to patients EMR. This process includes current registration, slide application, POIs, IDs and insurance verification for coverage. All patients are required to complete an onboarding and enrollment appointment to ensure required information is added to the patient’s account and the sliding fee discount is accurately applied. The slide application with the incorrect discount was completed on 06/27/2023 and the patient returned to the clinic for a follow-up appointment on 6/17/2024 (10 days prior to the annual O&E update appointment). All other accounts audited were after the O&E implementation in July 2023 and no errors or deficiencies were identified. Additionally, Genesis Family Health has implemented a mandatory annual review process for all staff with electronic acknowledgement of the staff member's understanding of the Sliding Fee Discount Policy.
