Audit Finding Reference: 2022-2 Name of contact person and title: Tabatha Miller, Finance Director Anticipated completion date: December 31, 2023 Auditee?s response: Concur Planned Corrective Action: Management will file the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022, as soon as possible. The City developed procedures, including a fiscal year-end closing schedule to assist in meeting the timeliness requirements of Section 200.152(a) of the Uniform Guidance. Staffing vacancies and challenges, due to the significant turnover in accounting staff including the Department Director and Finance Manager, delayed implementation of those procedures. Vacant positions are currently filled and work on the 2023 fiscal year end closing processes are well underway and anticipated to be completed within the time requirements of Section 200.152(a) of the Uniform Guidance.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions The timesheets did not reflect the correct hours charged to the program. After discussions with program management, it was discovered that correct communication to staff had not been completed regarding proper program and grant payroll coding for work done on the program. This has been corrected. The Foundation?s contract administrative staff is working more closely with program staff to ensure for each payroll that the time worked on programs is properly reflected on timesheets that are approved by employees and managers. Necessary changes are communicated between program and contract administrative staff to ensure that timesheets reflect work hours properly.

We highly recommend the Board and Executive Director continue to review, implement and monitor their financial policies and procedures to segregate duties to the extent possible and to implement additional oversight of the Executive Director?s duties, including maximizing the Board involvement in oversight, questioning transactions and reviewing the general ledger monthly. The Board of Directors and Executive Director indicated that they recognize that the concentration of these accounting procedures is weak from the standpoint of effective internal control. However, they informed us that they will continue to update, implement and monitor their financial policies, but in view of the limited number of accounting department personnel and cost considerations, adding personnel would not be practical.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions ? Citizens Memorial Hospital District (?CMH?) has developed and implemented a policy within its Grants Management Department to apply the above recommended corrective action. The purpose of this internal process is to inspect potential vendors, suppliers, organizations, individuals, or other entities who may be partnered or contracted with CMH and may receive state or federal grant funding. Although spearheaded by the Grants Management Department, this process includes several departments within the CMH organization. Steps for the grant funded vendor procurement process include: 1) Any CMH department that has received grant funding requests purchase orders through established purchase order processes and includes the Grant Management Department in the request. 2) Prior to purchase approval, all vendors, companies, entities, or individuals who may receive state or federal funds are vetted against the latest Exclusions List found on www.sam.gov by the Grants Management Department. 3) A master log sheet that includes the time, date, vendor name, and screen shot of the exclusion list query is updated before every purchase and kept by the Grants Management department. 4) All departments responsible for procurement within normal CMH purchasing processes (Materials Management, Hospital/Foundation Finance, IS) have been trained to include the grant funded vendor procurement process before any transactions move forward in the purchasing process. 5) The Grants Management Department will provide final approval/disapproval on all purchases made with state or federal grant funding to the appropriate department head. 6) Final approval to disperse grant funds is made in collaboration with the hospital/foundation finance department after purchase order requests have already gone through established internal purchasing processes and received approval from the Grants Management Department. All processes were developed in order to formalize compliance according to 2CFR 180 guidelines. The internal processes which had led to an oversight of a vendor within the RHC Services Outreach and RH Network Development grant has been remediated. The CMH grant related procurement process includes investigation before purchases are made (such as vetting several vendors from whom CMH received quotes) and after a purchase order has been approved (i.e. when a vendor has been chosen but has not yet been paid). This safety net has been put in place in order to ensure compliance continuity for all purchases and process integrity.

December 20, 2022 The Town of Abingdon respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022.

The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the Schedule. FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS - MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT 2022-002: Uniform Guidance Procurement Documentation Condition: The Town does not have written procurement policies that fully align with requirements in the Uniform Guidance. Criteria: During fiscal year 2019, the sections of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) covering procurement became effective after a three-year grace period on the implementation date. The Uniform Guidance requires entities to have written policies and procedures in place covering many types of procurement situations, including conflicts of interest, avoidance of geographical preferences, bidding thresholds, value engineering, and others. Cause: The Town hasn't typically been subject to the Uniform Guidance requirements during most recent fiscal years and was unaware of the necessary changes. Effect: Procurement procedures may not be conducted in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. Context: Several Uniform Guidance procurement requirement s were not noted in the Town' s procurement policy. Questioned Costs: N/A Recommendation: The Town should prepare a revised policy for procurement procedures to more closely align with Uniform Guidance requirements. Repeat Finding: N/A Corrective Action: Town management and legal counsel have compiled multiple sample procurement policies and checklists and is continuing its efforts in updating the Town's procurement policies to conform to Uniform Guidance requirements and are clearly understood and used in all federal supported purchases and expenditures in place.

Auditee?s Corrective Action Plan: The issues encountered during this year?s audit were a result of a number of circumstances rather than any inherent procedural issues. This is the first significant weakness that has been noted by the auditors in many years. The issues are the result of a perfect storm. First, the effects of covid which were felt on all levels of not only our organization but the entire country. Second, the growth the school is going thru and the need to adjust to this growth. Add to this environment of covid and growth 2 events that caused a serious disruption to our normal procedures. The first event started out as a correction entry in QuickBooks that caused our June 2021 bank reconciliation to be out of balance. This prevented the school from doing timely bank reconciliations until the problem was corrected. An outside consultant was hired and corrected the problem. The most significant event was the ESSER II and III grant applications which were not approved until November. Much effort went into getting the grants approved and estimating the grants for the audit. As noted above, the school is growing, and the capacity of the finance department has to grow as well. A full-time finance associate was added to the department in July 2022. Additional capacity will be added as needed. Due to growth, we will revise our accounting manual to list all steps in the closing process including checklists to ensure that all reconciliations and account analysis are completed and reviewed by supervisory personnel. This revision will be completed by the 4th quarter of the fiscal year. Contact Person: Bill Moczydlowski, Director of Finance
