These procedures include improved reconciliation processes and schedules to capture relevant financial data to meet reporting requirements.

Lack of Prior Approval Before Making Capital Improvement and Equipment Expenditures The CARES Act Grant was awarded to CIL's to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of consumers and staff. For the benefit of safety for consumers and staff, it was determined that funds would be used towards no-contact door mechanisms for entryway, removing carpet and replacing with solid surface material, windows where there was no ventilation, and computer technology that enabled staff to communicate with consumers electronically as well as work from home reasons . Early on, Administrators attended webinars hosted by ACL that were Q and A' s on basic instructions of the CARES Grant. At the time, many ACL staff were unavailable and working with limited staffing . Multiple attempts were made to make contact for prior approval. Due to the emergency at that time, our best interest was at stake, and it was determined to make these expenditures. Currently, and in hindsight, we have policies and procedures in place to ensure that prior approval will be implemented, as requested, even during an emergency pandemic.
