CHMO Finance and Quality & Compliance departments will continue to work to create procedures and controls that ensure that all SEFA reporting elements required by the Uniform Guidance are adhered to. Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”) are currently being created for monthly and quarterly reconciliation between grant reporting and the general ledger to inform the SEFA preparation. Once the SOPs have been developed, they will be reviewed with the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. Additionally, special consideration will be given to federal expenditures that are recorded separately from general operating expenses in the general ledger such as was the case for the CFDA 14.231 funds utilized for capital improvements in the FY23. Leadership Review: Each quarter, a qualified member of the leadership team will review the SEFA reporting components and a summary of all Government Grant Revenue to confirm we are in compliance with this corrective action. At least once annually, we will ask for a compliance review by our audit firm.
