Finding #2024-001- Limited Segregation of Duties 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 can both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Condition: A properly designed system of internal control includes adequate staffing, policies, and procedures to properly segregate duties. All internal control duties can be classified into four broad categories: authorization, custody, recordkeeping, and reconciliation. No one person should have control of two or more of these four categories for any one cycle. There are key controls related to significant transaction cycles that are important in reducing the risk of errors or irregularities. Currently, there are the following overlapping duties: - Both Accounting Specialists have the authority to enter invoices into the system, print checks, and have access to the electronic signatures. Preferably, the check cutting process would separate the entering of payment information into the system and the ability to print signed checks. - One Accounting Specialist creates deposits and makes deposits with the bank. Although not the standard procedure, the Accounting Specialist has the authority to collect cash receipts. Ideally, separate individuals would collect cash and make deposits. - The Housing Authority Executive Director opens the mail, creates deposits and takes deposits to the bank. The Executive Director also enters invoices into the system and prints checks. The Board of Commissioners approves disbursements and all checks require dual signatures. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities because of the lack of segregation of duties. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Recommendation: We recommend that the City 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 personnel to bring about a more effective segregation of duties.

Finding 2024-001 – A. Activities Allowed or Unallowed, B. Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, H. Period of Performance Identification of the federal program: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistance Listing No: 97.036 COVID-19 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Award Period: January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 Summary of finding: A material weakness in internal control over compliance was issued related to activities allowed or unallowed for the COVID-19 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance of Norton Healthcare, Inc. and Affiliates (the Corporation). While Management designed internal controls that required expenditures to be reviewed by members of the respective departments in which they originated (e.g. payroll and accounts payable) as expenditures were incurred, internal controls were not designed or implemented around the accumulation of expenditures and review of such expenditures for allowability under the projects for which Norton was approved under the COVID-19 Disaster Grants. Furthermore, the Company does not have formalized policies or documentation around internal contract agency travel allowances, and the payroll department did not retain documentation to evidence the function’s review of unapproved timesheets. Planned corrective action: Norton Healthcare is currently upgrading its timekeeping and attendance system. As part of this initiative, enhanced training and expanded functionality for timekeepers will help ensure that timecards are reviewed and approved prior to payment, in compliance with internal requirements. Relevant policies and procedures will be updated to support this process, including the retention of appropriate documentation. Additionally, the Norton Clinical Agency will establish a formal written policy outlining the stipend review and approval process, ensuring that all documentation is properly maintained. All other expenses submitted to FEMA will be reviewed and approved in writing, outside of the Grants Portal, with appropriate documentation. At this time, there are no pending or anticipated projects related to FEMA claims. Anticipated completion date: December 31, 2026 Responsible contact person: Adam Kempf

Corrective Action Plan: Strengthen detailed process for review over payroll charges billed to federal programs. To address the significant deficiency over allowable costs identified in the Single Audit, the Organization will enhance its existing review procedures by implementing a more detailed monthly review process. This will include verifying payroll charges against supporting documentation such as payroll registers, time records, and allocation spreadsheets. Management will also explore the development of a standardized reconciliation checklist and introduce a secondary review step to ensure accuracy and completeness. These measures, combined with continued monthly oversight by the CFO, are intended to reduce the risk of billing errors due to human oversight and reinforce the reliability of payroll cost allocations.
