Corrective Action Plan 2025-002 - Schedule of Expenditures and Federal Awards During the second half of fiscal year 2024 and during fiscal year 2025, the Authority conducted a project to implement a new ERP system to manage the Authority's financial activities from July 1, 2024, onwards. At the time of the audit issuance, the Authority is continuing to collaborate with supporting vendors to adjust the automated functionality of the new ERP system, specifically related to Accounts Receivable, Undisbursed Grant Funds and Grant Revenue recognition. The new ERP system has been successfully utilized for expenses, allocation of expenses and for federal grant reporting purposes. Manual adjustments were conducted by the Authority's finance team to prepare the overall financial statements that were audited. • The FY25 Audit process has highlighted the already known deficiencies that exist with the current integration of NetSuite as MCA's ERP. • The list of remaining deficiencies vs. the limitations of the system is currently being assessed by Oracle, MHI, and by an independent third-party expert, to assist MCA in navigating the process to effectively address each remaining issue in a timely manner. • MCA's Finance Team has developed a Financial Strategy and Action Plan Metric to assist with tracking monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual reconciliations and reporting to ensure timeliness and accuracy of financial reporting. • Manual adjustments and journals are the resulting transactions derived from this metric which will continue to be necessary until MCA has completed the analysis with vendor partners to resolve and refine the ERP System configuration and workflows. MCA will continue to provide progress reports to the Audit & Risk Committee and MCA Board until resolved.
