Finding 2022-002: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - Regents of the University of California San Francisco - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research - Assistance Listing No. 93.855.U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - Palo Alto Veterans Institute for Research - Family and Community Violence Prevention Program - Assistance Listing No. 93.910. Allowable Costs, Significant Deficiency Auditor Recommendation: We recommend the Organization enhance its year-end close process to include calculating the indirects charged to all federal awards for the entire year to ensure the indirects have been properly charged to the grant and with the correct rate. Corrective Action: The Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the Grants & Contracts department have been enhanced to include the current indirect rates through the monitoring process of the Grants Milestone Calendar. As previously noted, this cornerstone process reminds the grants department of a monthly review for all areas of each grant. This provides insight of the progression of the grant, meeting or exceeding thresholds and milestones, the project timeline of the grant, accuracy for invoicing, correct indirect rates, and so on. This is monitored on a monthly basis through the Operations Timeline Schedule, moving through the monthly system and is reviewed, and approved by the Grants Director, then the Executive Director. This is an actionable item in the system. Responsible Party: Grants Department, and Executive Director Anticipated Completion Date: This corrective action is currently in effect as of April 30, 2023

In Finding 2022-001, it was reported that the Uniform Data System report submitted to DHHS for the year ended December 31, 2021 reported incorrect data for federal grant draws, which are reported in table 9E. Federal grant draws were understated by approximately $520,000 in table 9E. Management recognizes the importance of complying with federal reporting guidelines. In response to Finding 2022-001, efforts will be made to ensure that the revenue and expenses from all sources are reconciled to the revenue and expenses on the UDS report.

Identifying Number: 2022-001: Accuracy of Reporting Criteria: Management was responsible for reporting accurate lost revenues based on the terms of the grant agreement. Condition: During compliance testing, it was identified that certain lost revenues included in the final report were not accurate based on the definitions of the grant agreement. Context: The lost revenue amount reported for the period was not accurate. Cause: The supporting documentation retained that calculated lost revenues had certain inaccuracies in the revenues reported for January 2020. Effect: As a result of the condition, the Hospital's required reporting for this grant was misstated, however the Hospital was able to recalculate the appropriate lost revenues and, in conclusion, report that there were enough losses to charge to this federal award to support the propriety of all funds received. Recommendation: In the future, the Hospital should ensure it implements appropriate processes and controls to ensure a review is performed prior to submission to the awarding agency. Contact: Richard Scheinblum, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Management acknowledges the finding and will ensure appropriate review of supporting calculations and COVID-related expenditures utilized within the report. An amended report will be filed with the awarding agency, as applicable. On December 27, 2022, management received a confirmation letter from HRSA, Division of Financial Integrity, acknowledging that the procedural finding has been satisfactorily resolved. The Corrective Action is subject to review during the next audit.

Finding #2022-001- Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2021-001) Condition: A properly designed system of internal control includes adequate staffing, policies, and procedures to properly segregate duties. This includes systems that are designed to limit access or control of any one individual to your government?s assets, and to achieve a higher likelihood that errors or irregularities in your processes would be discovered by your staff. There are key controls related to significant transaction cycles that are important in reducing the risk of errors or irregularities. At this time, the District does not have the following controls in place: -Persons processing accounts payable are not always separate from those ordering or receiving goods or services. -Persons initiating electronic fund transfers are not separate from those authorizing, confirming, or reconciling the transactions. -There are no procedures in place for review and approval of new vendors. -Persons preparing the payroll also maintain employee records, change employee rates, and change data in the payroll system. -The person reviewing free and reduced food service eligibility can also modify information entered into the system to determine eligibility. -Account reconciliations are not performed by someone independent of the processing of transactions in the account. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities as a result of the lack of segregation of duties. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Criteria: Segregation of duties is an aspect of internal control intended to prevent or decrease opportunities of intentional and unintentional errors and fraud. Duties and responsibilities are properly segregated if no single individual either has control over all phases of a transaction or has the ability to both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Recommendation: We recommend that the District consider the benefits of implementing additional policies and procedures to address key controls related to its significant transaction cycles as noted. Response: We agree with this finding but do not believe it is cost effective to increase the office staff in an attempt to bring about a more effective segregation of duties. The Building Principals and the Business Manager approve purchase orders and the Business Manager approves monthly accounts payable checks. Also, the Building Principals or department supervisors approve payroll timesheets prior to processing payroll. The payroll along with the time sheets are then approved by the Business Manager. The Business Manager, Building Principals, and department supervisors will continue to monitor transactions of the District. Contact Person: Greg Benz Anticipated Completion: Not applicable

Finding Reference Number: 2022-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Senior Services Program Name: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Assistance Listing Number: 93.558 Responsible Official: Megan Bania, Executive Director Views of Responsible Individuals: The loss of the executive director in January 2022 and the poor handoff to the interim executive director Brian Valentine, and his resignation in March 2023, left SkillUp program manager with insufficient oversight and management support. The failure of the Director of Finance to assist with creating updated financial monitoring protocols and lingering concerns about traveling during COVID resulted in the failure to perform financial monitoring. The former program manager did follow spending and provided programmatic monitoring and support to subrecipients. She resigned from MCAN in July 2022. Megan Bania is the new executive director and has worked with the new program manager and the accounting team to create in person/onsite financial monitoring protocols and will ensure that financial monitoring is conducted in FY 2023.

Finding Reference Number: 2022-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Senior Services Program Name: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Assistance Listing Number: 93.558 Responsible Official: Megan Bania, Executive Director Views of Responsible Individuals: The Board of Directors had difficulty filling the position of Finance Director in May of 2022. They hired a firm at the end of May, but the firm received very little support in making the transition to handling the SkillUp program billing from the outgoing Finance Director. Other resignations in the Finance Department left MCAN with no institutional knowledge of the billing process. The existing SkillUp program manager was not responsible and not trained in the financial reporting and billing for the program. The Board has resolved the issue by hiring a new SkillUp program manager and a new executive director.
