Views of Responsible Officials: In 2022, narrative program reports were prepared by the management team (inputs were provided by each thematic area/department), the Deputy Director (or her designee) reviewed, and the Managing Director approved and typically sent the narrative reports to United Way via email (or in some instances, uploaded to the United Way SharePoint directly). In 2022, financial reports were prepared by CBM, reviewed by the Deputy Director (with support from a Coordinator, when possible), and sent to the Managing Director for approval and signature. The signed documents were then uploaded into the United Way SharePoint, and a note was sent to advise that the documents were ready to review. Reimbursements have never been sent to United Way without the approval and signature of the Managing Director. United Way requires that all financial reports reflect Managing Director signature to be reviewed.

Views of Responsible Officials: When SAMU commenced operations at the end of June 2022, the Welcome Respite Project (funded by FEMA) was SAMU's only active project. The HR platform/timekeeping software, Gusto, was implemented prior to the project start date (i.e. employees offer letters and onboarding materials were sent via the platform). Incoming staff were provided with an overview of how to use Gusto during onboarding, one-on-one meetings with supervisors, and staff meetings. Employee time was remunerated according to the rates authorized. During 2022, staff entered their hours in Gusto and were not engaged in outside, non-project-related activities. In 2022 we had only one project and therefore, some salaried staff were instructed that the completion of a timecard was not needed. However, that changed in 2023 as the new Managing Director requested that all staff, including salaried staff, complete timecards appropriately. Additional project codes were implemented in January 2023 and October 2023. SAMU provided updated guidance on timekeeping and use of project codes during the course of several staff meetings and one-on-one meetings. In 2023, SAMU developed a Gusto training and continues to reinforce timekeeping policies and expectations during meetings. Rate and position changes were and continue to be communicated to staff via official HR letters and stored in program files.

2022-001 Sliding Fee Discounts Recommendation: Our auditors recommend we review and strengthen the current procedures in place for determining a patient’s financial responsibility for their visit using the sliding fee scale. This should include requiring a knowledgeable representative of the Organizations’ signature approval on the documentation received and the fee calculated and provided to the applicant. All applications should contain support for the individual’s income level or documentation of no income, and the determination of the resulting fee. Action Taken: This finding was repeated in 2022. Since this was a repeat finding, an internal audit was performed on all 2023 approved sliding fee applications to ensure compliance with our policy. Any corrective actions to the 2023 application were address and the facility’s sliding fee scale was modified to reflect proper authorization and proper segregation of duties going forward. Going forward, all sliding fee scale applications are now reviewed and authorized by the Manager of Revenue Cycle. Future auditing procedures have been put in place to review applications and adjusted, if needed, in a timely manner between now and the end of the year.

2022-003 Compliance Over Reporting Name of Contact Person: Chief Financial Officer: Amber Curley Corrective Action: The Center agrees with this finding which is directly related to the transitions in financial leadership and the need for a more robust finance team. The Center’s full-time permanent CFO was hired in January 2022 who then immediately increased the team by two new members (1.0 FTE Controller hired in July 2022 and 1.0 FTE Staff Accountant hired in January 2023) and overhauled the Center’s financial policies and procedures manual. With the five-member finance team currently in place, we are on track to complete our FY2022-23 audit process by December 31, 2023. It is also relevant to note that San Francisco community health clinics migrated en masse to OCHIN Epic in 2022 with the overarching goal of our safety net hospitals and all community clinics being on the same EHR system to strengthen patient health outcomes for our city. The Center’s go-live date for this was June 2022 and required extensive time from all executive management, with our newly hired CFO being a key leader in this migration. This one-time, significant event had a direct impact on our ability to complete our audit in a timely manner. Proposed Completion Date: June 30, 2023

During the Center’s HRSA three-day operational site visit in July 2022, the Center made revisions to its Sliding Fee Application form to make space for our eligibility team members to clearly present their mathematical calculations to determine our patients’ annual incomes. This revision contributed to our 100% score that we received after the HRSA operational site visit. In order to further ensure we are in full compliance, the Center has contracted with an external consultant who is aware of HRSA standards and requirements and will thoroughly review current processes, procedures, and systems, and then will provide recommendations to the Center to implement and adopt. The Center will seek additional training and technical assistance to provide specific sliding fee scale training for all employees involved in our Sliding Fee program. Additionally, the Center will continue to implement quarterly audits of all sliding fee scale patients to ensure all sliding fee scale applications are complete and patients receive the correct discount.

2022-001 Internal Control Over Financial Close Process Name of Contact Person: Chief Financial Officer: Amber Curley Corrective Action: The Center agrees with this finding and recommendations. The Center went through a change in CFO leadership throughout this fiscal year and our full-time permanent CFO started in January 2022, who then immediately expanded the Center’s finance department and implemented corrective procedures and greatly improved accounting processes and accounting operations, including all balance sheet accounts being reviewed and reconciled in a timely manner. In order to ensure we are fully compliant, two new positions were created and filled – a 1.0 FTE Controller hired in July 2022 and a 1.0 FTE Staff Accountant hired in January 2023. Additionally, our CFO overhauled our financial policies and procedures manual which was approved by the Center’s Board of Directors in July 2022. These policies and procedures were also reviewed by our HRSA consultants during our three-day operational site visit which took place in July 2022. Specific process improvements were made and included more specific segregation of duties, enhanced communication across all departments to address program items around budgetary and resource planning, transactional accuracy, and transparency. Moreover, the five-member finance department is working collaboratively with program management to advise and support the finance department on continued process improvements and maintaining open communication with program staff for effective feedback on program monitoring systems essential to strengthening internal control over financial close and reporting process.
