Management's Response: The County concurs with the findings. Responsible Individuals: For 10.665 and 20.205: John Mannle, Director of Public Works and Damien Frank, Administrative Service Officer. For 93.658: Jennifer Bromby, DFO and Neil Caiazo, Director. For 93.778: Dana Loomis, Director of Public Health and DeLena Jones, Administrative Service Officer. Corrective Action Plan: For 10.665 and 20.205: Public Works has had a shortage of project engineers that has led to the issues that precipitated the audit finidng of: expenditures reported on invoices for reimbursement from federal transportation programs being less than the expenditures noted by the audit. Project engineers are responsible for approving all ivnoices for reimbursement from federal transportation programs. Staff need to be reminded to repeatedly self-audit back through the time periods noted on previous invoices for reimbursement when preparing a new invoice. Changes or missed expenditures due to late postings or accruals by fiscal staff can then be found and added into the new reimbursement invoice. Discussions have been made among the management team to eliminate reporting issues. For 93.685: Social Services has reached out to another county regarding procedures for completing the schedules. They provided a copy of instructions for completing the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Plumas County Social Services has now implemented those procedures going forward. For 93.778: Department of Public Health recognizes that the records for 93.778, CHDP-FC were not correct for FY 21/22. The Department experienced turnover during the time frame and the prior Administrative Service Officer had utilized a new software program and the new Administrative Service Officer was unfamiliar with the program. Public Health has changed the method in which they record receivables and expenditures since the original fieldwork was performed and currently keeps accurate and up-to-date records. The invoices and payments that were missed in FY 21/22 have been submitted and all receivables have since been recorded. Anticipated Completion Date: We will have more formal communication with departments by June 30, 2024.
We will continue to monitor and refine procedures and segregate duties as much as possible.

The Organization has revised the procurement policy to comply with Uniform Guidance, as opposed to the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

The Settlement agrees with the finding. Management has implemented a number of compensating controls to mitigate the risk of any future overdraws of government contract funds. As part of the monthly process, it is required that the preparer of the invoice be separate from the reviewer and approver of the invoice and that the preparer provide an expense report verifying the amount submitted for payment. The contract specific monthly expense report (Direct Report generated through Sage Intacct) is reviewed for accuracy and completeness by both the preparer and reviewer. For OHS, specifically, the reviewer and approver receive both the monthly Director Report and a summary of payments received to date. The approver is either the Controller or the CFAO. Once approved, the reimbursement request with expenses and backupdocuentation is submitted to the funder, who performs a final review prior to releasing payment for reimbursement. Additionally, for year-end, the fiscal team begins the reconciliation process with previously audited yearend A/R balances by contract. They then verify that subsequent receipts substantiate the receivable previously recorded in the books. Expenses for each contract are billed monthly by recording a receivable and revenue. Implementation began July 2022. Responsible parties: Assistant Controllers, Controller, CFAO Completion date: 7/1/2022
