We are in receipt of the Findings Required to be Reported by Government Auditing Standards, regarding Reporting and Activities Allowed/Unallowed and Cost Principles. Management agrees with the finding. After correcting the calculation of expenses to include reimbursement from other sources, the Hospital still has sufficient lost revenues and expenses to cover the amount of provider relief funding received. Management will perform a detailed analysis of the reporting requirements in accordance with the final guidelines set by HRSA for future reporting periods. As deemed necessary, the Hospital will modify policies and procedures over federal grant reporting The CFO, Hong Wade, will be responsible to ensure this is accomplished. The corrective action plan will be implemented by December 31, 2025.

We agree with the recommendations offered and will establish updated policies and procedures to address the finding while considering appropriate measures for operating programs that are on a cost reimbursement basis. We have addressed this finding to our government partners. Specific government partners have requested the continuation of cash advances in the manner which we have been operating. We have worked with the other government partners and have come up with an incremental funding plan based on needs that are appropriate in maintaining the operational requirements set forth by the awards. Periodically we updated the government partners on program funds that have been used or those funds that are excess.

Current leadership and Management has implemented robust policies and procedures to ensure compliance with federal drawdown requirements. Currently, all drawdowns are based on 1/12th of the approved annual budget and are fully supported by actual expenditures recorded in the General Ledger. These expenditures exceed the amount of the monthly drawdown, ensuring we are not drawing funds in advance. Previous acceleration of drawdowns in prior years was not aligned with best practices and stemmed from poor cash flow management and inadequate internal controls. Our corrective action plan directly addresses these issues through strengthened oversight and improved fiscal discipline. Furthermore, in alignment with the Department of Health and Human Services’ “Defend the Spend” (DOGE) initiative, all drawdowns are now required to be substantiated by actual, documented expenses reflected in the General Ledger.

Management acknowledges the finding. We will conduct mandatory training sessions for all relevant personnel to ensure a clear understanding of the Sliding Fee Discount Program requirements and policy. Training will include proper documentation practices, eligibility verification, and procedures for applying discounts consistently. We will review and update our sliding fee discount policy to ensure clarity, consistency, and compliance with regulatory requirements. We will provide an annual review and obtain board approval of the Sliding Fee Discounting Program scheduled on an annual basis. Regular internal audits will be conducted to review the application of sliding fee discounts and identify any discrepancies before external audits. Results of internal audits will be shared with management, and corrective actions will be taken as necessary. We will assess the feasibility of implementing system controls or automated alerts within our electronic health record (EHR) and billing systems to reduce errors in discount applications. Additional oversight measures may be introduced to ensure all eligible patients receive the correct discount in accordance with policy guidelines. The above corrective actions are currently being implemented.

Management acknowledges the finding. We will enhance our internal policies and procedures to ensure accurate financial reporting and compliance with federal grant requirements. A detailed reporting checklist will be developed to prevent errors and improve the accuracy of UDS and FFR submissions. Additional layers of review will be implemented to verify the accuracy of financial data before submission. Designated personnel will cross-check program income and financial data to ensure proper classification and reporting. To mitigate the impact of staff turnover, we will implement a structured training program for all employees responsible for grant reporting. A documented succession plan will be established to ensure continuity in key financial and reporting roles. We will evaluate opportunities for automation and financial system improvements to reduce manual errors. Enhanced documentation and reconciliation procedures will be implemented to ensure accurate tracking of program income. Internal compliance reviews will be conducted quarterly to assess reporting accuracy and address potential issues before submission. Management will conduct periodic training sessions and refresher courses to keep staff informed of reporting requirements and best practices. The above corrective actions are currently being implemented.

Finding Reference: 2022-001 Description of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance. Identification of the Federal Program: U.S. Department of the Treasury CFDA 20.019 Criteria or Specific Requirement: Recipients of federal awards must establish internal controls over reports that are prepared and submitted. Finding/Condition: Pursuant to the reporting requirement set forth by the Department of the Treasury, the Organization is required to submit the single audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within 30 days of the issuance of the audit report or nine months after the end of the Organization’s fiscal year. During our reporting period we noted that the audit was not completed and filed timely. Cause: The Organization met the requirements for a single audit for the first time during the year ended December 31, 2022. Due to a lack of expertise in federal grant reporting requirements, the Organization overlooked the requirement to perform a single audit and file with the clearinghouse in a timely manner Corrective Action: In June 2025, Monterey County Business Council employed a CFO Consultant with 30+ years’ experience in finance and accounting who has performed a deep dive into the accounting framework. The Consultant has been engaged to assist the Organization in completing financial and single audits for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024. It is expected that the Organization will be caught up with federal clearinghouse filings by the end of 2025 or early 2026 at the latest. Under the consultant’s guidance, the Organization has made progress in financial reporting and will be filing the 2022 audit by August 30, 2025. Audits for subsequent years will be audited thereafter. Name of Responsible Person: Chris Steinbruner, CPA Questioned Cost: None Chris Steinbruner, CPA MCBC Board Member (831)-222-6111

We agree with the recommendation and understand the required compliance responsibility to provide audited financial statements and major Federal program compliance reporting timely each fiscal year, in accordance with the Federal Single Audit Act. Because of past misunderstandings and incorrect assumptions about major Federal program compliance requirements for fiscal 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, management failed to provide for timely audits. One critical assumption was that the Organization’s subrecipient, responsible for over ninety percent (90%) of grant distributions, fulfilled the audit requirement for the required Federal grant reporting under the Single Audit Act. However, upon recognizing this error, the Organization promptly engaged for the financial statement and major Federal program compliance audits spanning multiple years including up to last fiscal year and is on track to provide for timely filing with the current year. With this understanding and the expectation of financial statement and major Federal program compliance audits, the Organization replaced its contracted accountants by hiring its first Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in January of 2021 and a number of additional support accountants beginning in November of 2021 through January of 2024. Upon hire, and with the growth of the programming, the CFO and the accounting team focused extensively on enhancing the Organization’s financial reporting framework and data management systems to ensure continued compliance with federal and state guidelines and reporting requirements. This effort has been crucial in expediting the more recent audits and improving overall efficiencies in the day-to-day and monthly financial reporting and budgeting requirements. Further, the Organization must acknowledge the challenges posed by the transition of multiple Chief Executive Officers in a 2-year period as well as the impact of the pandemic on operations and reporting. These two factors affected operations and time lines as well as access to data files as many were in paper form. Despite these difficulties, management’s commitment to timely financial reporting and program compliance remains steadfast and are working diligently to get its timing back on track going forward.

Michigan Ability Partners strives to maintain compliance with all HUD requirements, however due to the challenges of social distancing and the requirement of remote work during the COVID era, meeting in person with clients and landlords to obtain signed documents became much more difficult. Staff transitions also contributed to these challenges. The Voucher Manager position—responsible for verifying rent reasonableness and filling open HUD vouchers—was vacated in July 2022 after a brief tenure. Although the role was refilled quickly, the transition resulted in information gaps during lease renewal periods due to the disruption in continuity and knowledge transfer. To help support the growing difficulty of the work, a new position, Housing Administrative Team Lead, was created in November 2022 to have direct responsibility of the Voucher Manager, maintain compliance, and update systems and workflows. More recently, in August 2024, Michigan Ability Partners created an additional position, Sr. Manager of Programs to provide an additional level of review to ensure compliance. To recruit and retain qualified staff, the salaries for these three position have been adequately adjusted. Michigan Ability Partners (MAP) provides outstanding services to the unhoused population of Washtenaw County. Although many staffing disruptions have recently affected some of its operations, MAP is committed to continue to provide exceptional services and maintain a high standard of compliance. Going forward, MAP will continue to work diligently to complete Single Audit Packages in a timely manner
