Adjusting Journal Entries, Required Disclosures and Draft Financial Statements (material weakness) Year ended June 30, 2024 Auditors’ Recommendation: Although auditors may continue to provide such assistance both now and in the future, under the new pronouncement, the Authority should continue to review and accept both proposed adjusting journal entries and footnote disclosures, along with the draft financial statements. Grantee Response: Transit Authority of Warren County and Executive Director, Wendy Hollabaugh, has received, reviewed and accepted all journal entries, footnote disclosures and draft financial statements proposed for the current year audit and will continue to review similar information in the year ending June 30, 2025.

Executive Director, Wendy Hollabaugh, expects that it will continue to outsource the preparation of the annual financial statements to its audit firm for the year ending June 30, 2025 as this is the most cost effective manner to produce this information.

Corrective Action: Comment: Due to illnesses, vacations, and holidays within our billing department at the end of 2023, we became almost 3 months in processing claims. This in turn caused a very large accrual at the fiscal year end into our AR. Most AR adjustments aren’t done until EOB’s are returned from the insurance companies. The auditors felt we didn’t account for enough adjustments per their sampling. • Recognize billing cycles are getting behind quicker by management. • Start having the billing director report new metrics monthly so management can react quicker to any potential issues. • Management needs to quickly formulate a plan to support the billing department to achieve an acceptable number of cycle days. o This could include approving overtime. o Adding temporary employees. o Having other staff with any experience assist the department.
