Corrective Action Plan Year Ended September 30, 2025 Finding 2024-001 AL Numbers: Various assistance listing numbers Program: Research and Development Cluster Correction Action: Brown Health management concurs with this finding. Based on the review, the underlying procurement procedures were generally performed in accordance with established policy; however, supporting documentation was not consistently retained to evidence compliance. We have already initiated re-training at the department level and will be performing a detailed review of current purchase history to ensure appropriate documentation is retained. For fiscal year 2026, we will be reviewing all federal grant activity to ensure the appropriate documentation is maintained and/or sole source documentation is prepared including a lookback analysis of expenditures to date that did not retain the proper documentation. Additionally, we will review automated control enhancements within our ERP system where possible to assist in recognizing compliance rules in advance of spend.
