Cash Management Planned Corrective Action: As noted from review of previous audits, we do not typically have issues with cash management, as we carefully review student disbursement reports prior to drawing down funds from G5, as well as practice regular monthly reconciliations. Unfortunately, errors were made due to the cause that is described in this finding with the temporary reassignment of tasks. We have not had any noted issues in our G5 draws since February 2022, and we do not believe that this will be a reoccurring issue in the future. We will continue to train a back-up employee to assist the primary employee if she is again temporarily unavailable in the future. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Deborah O?Gwynn, Student Accounts Director Anticipated Date of Completion: Fall 2022

Our internal Financial Policies and Procedures manual will be updated with a link to the most current instructions for the SF-425. The information on the SF-425 will be entered into the Payment Management System (PMS) by the Accounting Manager, followed by a review by the CFO before the final submission. This will provide additional oversight to prevent errors such as the incorrect Indirect Cost Rate type. It will also ensure that all indirect expenses are entered as a cumulative amount over the life of the grant, and not only indirect expenses for the current year of the grant. If invoices are received after the SF-425 is submitted, which is the case here, the SF-425 will be revised and resubmitted to update the amounts reported for the federal share of expenditures in lieu of waiting until the next reporting phase to provide the updated information. The errors noted on the SF-425 have been corrected. IDF will also take any applicable workshop training provided by the federal agency providing any grant funding, in this case, the HRSA Healthy Grants Workshops.
In the final No Cost Extension for this award, the reporting of the subrecipient was missed in error by IDF. Once this was realized, the CFO immediately reported this in the FSRS portal. In the previous years of funding to this sub recipient, the FSRS reports were filed in a timely manner. This sub ...
In the final No Cost Extension for this award, the reporting of the subrecipient was missed in error by IDF. Once this was realized, the CFO immediately reported this in the FSRS portal. In the previous years of funding to this sub recipient, the FSRS reports were filed in a timely manner. This sub recipient was also named and approved in the original budget with the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration. Going forward, this report is now one of several items on a newly created checklist that is an addendum to our Financial Policies and Procedures Manual. This task will be completed by the Accounting Manager. The CFO will check the portal before the next deadline to ensure this is completed and is accurate. The proof of this will also be shared with the Project Manager on any federal grant.
