2023-001 – Eligibility for Housing Assistance Condition: During the testing of tenant files, certain documentation deficiencies were noted as summarized below: 4 -- Missing documentation of landlord participation agreements, 1 -- Missing documentation of landlord participation agreements, due to incomplete record of transfer from WNCHS, 1 -- Missing documentation of lease contract, 2 -- Missing documentation of housing assistance form. Corrective Action: As outlined in previous year’s corrective action plan, WNCAP has implemented an eligibility checklist to ensure that client records are complete. The Housing Coordinator has shared the review checklist with frontline employees so they can use it as reference when completing intakes and recertifications, and she regularly reviews client files to ensure the records are complete. While the checklist was implemented in the first quarter of 2023, some of the records were created prior to implementation. Going forward, all records for the following audit period will have been created after implementation of the review checklist. Evidence of the improvements made by management is reflected by the significant decrease in the number of deficient records compared to the FY2021-22 audit: 2021-22 Total Deficient Eligibility Records: 30 2022-23 Total Deficient Eligibility Records: 8 WNCAP expects to see continued improvement in subsequent audits.

The outsourced accounting firm will create and execute a year-end process that will analyze all payments made during the 60 days following the fiscal year-end to ensure that expenses are recorded in the correct fiscal year. This process will ensure the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) is reported properly. The grant program manager will ask vendors to submit their invoices for services rendered through the fiscal year end to Cure HHT within 30 days of the fiscal year end. Each grant contract year differs from the Cure HHT fiscal year. Cure HHT will create and execute a grant reconciliation process that involves financial reporting from the outsourced accounting firm, members of the outsourced accounting team, Cure HHT grant managers, and Cure HHT management to validate that all cost reimbursable grants recognize revenue as costs are incurred. All parties will ensure appropriate accounting processes and controls are in place on an ongoing basis. The reconciliation process will take place monthly and at fiscal year-end.

This error occurred during a time of transition from one outsourced accounting firm and accounting system to another. The new outsourced accounting systems were not fully in place or automated at the time of the reporting error and there was no internal review process. The outsourced accounting firm is now fully transitioned, all systems are fully integrated with the accounting software, and the accounting team provides the program managers and organization managers with the reports needed to prepare drawdown requests. Cure HHT has developed and fully implemented a corrective action plan. The organization has communicated with the cognizant agency and all expenses eligible for submission for payment through grant funding will be submitted to and paid from the overdrawn funds. Once these funds are depleted, the organization will resume monthly draw submissions for all eligible expenses. The organization will reconcile all eligible expenses prior to requesting grant funds to avoid future duplicate and/or incorrect requests for grant funds. In addition, pending proper internal approvals of all submitted expenses, grant funds received will be dispersed within 3-7 business days from the date received.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS 2023-004 Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grants – Assistance Listing No. 14.218 Recommendation: We recommend that the County subsequently report the subawards not reported in FSRS. We further recommend the County strengthen controls and procedures to ensure that all required subawards are reported accurately and timely to FSRS. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Community Services was made aware of the FFATA issue at the end of FY22. The Department developed and executed a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to ensure all awards over $30,000 were submitted to the FSRS system within the required time. In FY23 we entered the FY22 and FY23 sub-recipient awards in FSRS. In FY23 there were expenses for sub-recipient awards that were issued in FY20 and FY21, which was identified by CLA. The Department will modify our SOP to require all sub-recipient awards be entered regardless of the fiscal year they were awarded; this ensures accurate and up-to-date reporting.

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority has recognized the material weakness in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers programs and will implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Melissa Beadle, Deputy Director, will be responsible for implementing this corrective action by June 30, 2024. CMHA is aware that the HAB/MRI software does not store waitlist reports by date processed and since then, CMHA has been saving Excel files of the waitlist reports. The applicants that were selected for the audit were applicants that had preference points. All applicants with preference points were contacted at the same time to be informed that they were eligible for a voucher. The CMHA waitlists were ran by preference points and time/date of application. Once those applicants were pulled the waitlist was not saved to Excel. The preference point list was then sorted alphabetically for sign in purposes and tracking of applicant documentation. This is the list that was provided to the auditor.

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority has recognized the material weakness in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers programs and will implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Michael McDougle, HCV Manager, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2024. CMHA has been working diligently over the past IO months to implement this corrective action with the current two CMHA employee inspectors that are following up on the life and safety 24 hour inspections and also the 30 day follow ups. When landlords have informed CMHA that they are unable to find contractors to complement the maintenance failed items, CMHA is making a note on the inspection forms and tenant file as landlords inform CM HA that they are in need of additional time. The inspection reports under this audit were completed by the contractor, Inspection Group and have since then been corrected. To date, all of the failed inspections have been reinspected and passed.

Michael McDougle, HCV Manager, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2024. CMHA has been working diligently over the past IO months to correct the inspection process that was not completed by the contracted inspectors through Inspection Group. Tenants were under the impression that they were not required to have inspections if someone was sick in their household, as previously waived during the pandemic. The HCV tenants have since been informed with each month's recertification mailing that they are required under HUD regulations to have an annual inspection. CMHA has also trained and assigned two HCV staff to become inspectors and have a process in place where one employee completes the annual inspections and the other employee follows up on the reinspection as needed. If inspections are not completed by time of recertification, the HAP payment is held. To date, annual inspections have been completed by CMHA staff.

Condition: The Organization's controls in place for reporting submissions did not identify Provider Relief Fund General and Targeted Distribution Post-Payment Notice of Reporting Requirements guidelines were not followed related to the lost revenue calculations. The Period 4 reporting submission for lost revenue did not follow the acceptable options outlined by HHS. Additionally, the Period 2 reporting submission, completed in the previous year, did not follow the acceptable options. Planned Corrective Action: Thresholds will have a second individual (Controller or SVP for Finance) review future award applications that are one-time or unusual in nature. We will pay particular attention to review the terms carefully so that Thresholds does not misunderstand things (such as the acceptable options, as in this case). Contact person responsible for corrective action: Al Shoreibah, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: April 1, 2024.

Federal Program: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (PRF), Assistance Listing No. 93.498 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Planned Responsible Officials: Mike Crofton, VP of Finance and Interim Chief Financial Officer Corrective Action: TriHealth is committed to ensuring internal controls are implemented to ensure compliance with Section 200.303 of the Uniform Guidance. In response to the findings, TriHealth has or will implement the following policies and procedures: 1. Design and implement controls over our any future PRF reporting, including both General Distributions and Targeted or Rural Distributions, to ensure the necessary documentation is submitted in the HHS Reporting Portal and that the information submitted is complete and accurate based on accounting records and other data. This will include retention of necessary documentation to support reported expenditures and lost revenues and that such documentation is reviewed by TriHealth’s Controller and VP of Finance and Interim Chief Financial Officer. 2. Utilize Internal Audit to perform detail review and testing over the PRF program reporting, as applicable. This will include the use of Internal Audit to review PRF reporting prior to submission to the HHS Portal, as well as appropriateness of lost revenue and allowability of healthcare related expenses. 3. Prior to submission, the Controller and the Executive Director of Internal Audit will review the draft reporting submissions with the Executive Director of Decision Support and Reimbursement prior to submitting the reports in the HHS Portal. As TriHealth and its affiliates did not receive PRF General Distributions in excess of $10,000, individually or in the aggregate, during PRF Reporting Period 6 (payments received from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022), TriHealth will not be required to submit any future reporting in the HHS Portal for PRF General Distributions. However, TriHealth will ensure appropriate levels of review occur for any future reporting of PRF or similar federal funding, including PRF Targeted or Rural Distributions.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE – U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, PASSED THROUGH MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION – BASIC GRANTS TO STATES – FEDERAL ALN 84.048 2023-001 Internal Control Over Compliance With Subrecipient Monitoring Requirements Finding Summary 2 CFR § 200.332 requires Intermediate District No. 287 (the District) as a pass-through entity, to have written subrecipient monitoring policies and procedures that include a written risk assessment of each subrecipient and documentation of the District’s monitoring of the subrecipient. Additionally, as a pass-through entity, the District is required to verify that every subrecipient is audited as required by 2 CFR § 200 Subpart F when it is expected that the subrecipient’s federal awards expended during the respective fiscal year equaled or exceeded the threshold for a federal Single Audit. During our audit, we noted that the District did have documented written controls to ensure compliance with the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) subrecipient monitoring requirements. The District did not maintain documentation of its evaluation of each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward, nor did the District maintain documentation of the results of the subrecipients’ Single Audit, if any, for purposes of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The District will review its policies and procedures relating to subrecipient monitoring for its federal programs to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance in the future. Official Responsible – The District’s Executive Director of Business Services, Brian Schultz. Planned Completion Date – June 30, 2024. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding – The District agrees with the finding. Plan to Monitor – The District’s Executive Director of Business Services, Brian Schultz, will assure appropriate internal controls and procedures are updated and in place to ensure compliance with subrecipient monitoring requirements.

Chatham University’s Response to Schneider Downs’ Finding 2023 - 002 - Student Financial Assistance - Cluster, Department of Education Programs, in connection with their audit of the University’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Public Law 106-102) requires financial institutions to explain their information-sharing practices to their customers and to safeguard sensitive data. (16 CFR 314). The audit finding was based on 16 CFR 314.4(f), which requires the University to have a policy addressing how the institution will oversee its information system service providers. Issue and Cause: The University does not have a vendor management review process for information system service providers. Action Plan: The University acknowledges the specific requirements outlined in the finding and presents the following action plan to address the requirements of 16 CFR 314. • The University has a draft Vendor Access to Internal Systems Policy developed in 2021 that needs to be finalized and formally adopted. • The Chief Information Officer will review, update, and finalize this policy to ensure compliance with 16 CFR 314, 4(f). • The policy will be added to the University’s Cyber & Regulatory Compliance Policy document on the Intranet and any public-facing web pages as necessary. • The policy will be distributed to applicable information system service providers. • A process for the mandatory annual review and acknowledgment of the policy with applicable vendors will be implemented. • The University will consider the costs and benefits of using external resources or firms to advise and help implement this action plan. Chatham University’s Chief Information Officer, Paul Steinhaus, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by May 1, 2024.
