Significant Deficiency ? Item No. 2022-003 Criteria: The Hospital must establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the Hospital is managing the federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations and terms and conditions of the federal award. 2 CFR 200.327 and 2 CFR 200.328 require the auditee to collect financial information and monitor its activities under federal awards to assure compliance with applicable federal requirements and performance expectations are being achieved and report these items in accordance with program requirements. Terms and conditions of the federal award require the audited financial statements to be provided to the federal agency annually within 9 months of fiscal year-end, as well as quarterly internal financial statements. Condition: The Hospital did not submit the audited financial statements within the prescribed period or request an extension and did not submit any quarterly reports to the federal agency. The Hospital was not asked for the information after they failed to submit it. The audit financial statements are readily available to the federal agency through the federal clearinghouse website. Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding and are implementing procedures to ensure that the required financial reports are submitted in a timely manner in accordance with the terms and conditions of the federal award.

RIDOH agrees with the finding and recommendation. RIDOH agrees that redirection of accounting and budgets will require updated contract modifications and subaward forms to ensure proper identification of relevant federal program information, including CFDA number and federal grant name. RIDOH believes that the deficiencies occurred due to use of placeholder accounts in contract approval forms for SFY22 when HEZ contract extensions were being prepared at the end of SFY21 for SFY22. Per COVID Governance, a placeholder account number (4875999.02) was created in RIFANS for anticipated additional federal funds (which were not awarded). This placeholder account was used in the COVID Mapping document early in SFY22 and all the contract approval forms had to match the current COVID Mapping document in order to be processed. In addition, the funding sources for SFY22 COVID activities changed frequently as the FEMA 100% reimbursement deadline was extended quarter by quarter through all of SFY22. However, all changes to approved funding for all HEZ contracts should have been appropriately documented in the contract files. RIDOH will take the following steps: ? Memoranda will be written to document the use of placeholder accounts in SFY22 subaward extension approval forms, and all appropriate account numbers and amounts that replaced the placeholder accounts will be documented as approved funding for the subaward purpose. ? Files for SFY23 subawards charged to ELC grants will be reviewed to verify that appropriate funding approval documentation is included. Memoranda will be written to document any funding changes not appropriately captured in subaward approval forms. ? Any placeholder accounts that may have been used for SFY24 subaward amendments will be identified and the list disseminated to all contract managers with instructions to check with COVID Finance leadership to verify the accounts that should be used if a placeholder account was included in any subaward approval paperwork. Assure that appropriate documentation is created and stored if the funding source(s) for any subawards change from the original signed authorization. In the event that funding sources are added, contract modifications shall be issued including applicable Sub-Award forms properly identifying applicable funding sources.

RIDOH agrees with the finding and recommendation. RIDOH has established a dedicated SharePoint site (via Microsoft Teams) for centralized storage of timesheets, although due to staffing and training scheduling challenges, the central repository for all signed time sheets is not yet being used by all RIDOH Divisions and Centers to store signed weekly time sheets. This contributed to the difficulty in locating SFY2022 time sheets signed by both the staff member and supervisor instead of only by the staff member. There has been considerable turnover of Master Time Sheet (MTS) Coordinators, the staff members responsible for receiving signed weekly time sheets, transferring information to the HR/payroll generated MTS, submitting the approved MTS to HR/Payroll, and saving/storing the signed time sheets electronically. Additional training will be provided to the MTS Coordinators during SFY23 Qtr4 to assure that all time sheets will be organized and accessible in the central repository. The MTS Coordinators will be required to save all SFY2023 weekly time sheets to the SharePoint site. The list of Programs/Activities and associated account numbers in the RIDOH Time Sheet Workbooks is updated quarterly, and training has been provided to assure staff are recording their hours on the appropriate activities and accounts. As of SFY2023 Quarter 4, RIDOH staff may no longer select ?ICS ? C (COVID-19)? in their Time Sheet Workbooks as a Program/Activity and must select a more descriptive COVID Program/Activity that reflects the COVID Workstream they are supporting and includes the appropriate/allowable account numbers for that Workstream. Finance staff will review time sheet workbooks for SFY2023 Quarters 1 through 3, to identify any staff that used ?ICS ? C (COVID-19)? instead of a specific COVID Workstream on their time sheets and will work with those staff to submit appropriately signed revised time sheets reflecting the COVID Workstream supported.

2022-041a ? In April 2022, the Department implemented a new, modernized front end application. This application utilizes advanced fraud technology by partnering with Lexis Nexis. Claimant identity information is scrubbed and claimants who have a high potential for fraud are required to contact the Call Center for additional identity verification. Those not at high risk are presented identity verification quizzes before being allowed to file a claim for unemployment insurance. In April 2023, the Department is looking into additional enhancements to the existing Lexis Nexis tools as part of an ongoing effort to enhance fraud detection and prevention while also ensuring the system is accessible to claimants. In addition, the Department is discussing other technology possibilities that can assist in the identity verification process. We are hopeful to partner with DOL through TIGER TEAMS funding to achieve this. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2023 2022-041b ?
