Finding Text

Finding Number 2023-010: Reporting (Significant Deficiency over Internal Control and Instances of Noncompliance – Reporting) FALN Number 16.575 U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Victims of Crime – Crime Victim Assistance, Award Number 94-3302014, Award Year 2022-2023 Criteria: 2023 Compliance Supplement and 2 CFR 200.303(a) stated that the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non- Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations and terms and conditions of the federal award. Condition/Context: As a result of our audit procedures to evaluate the summary schedule of prior audit findings, we noted 1 sample of untimely financial reporting submitting to the grantor. The financial report was for the quarter ended 3/31/2023 with a due date of 30 days after the reporting period; however, the report was submitted on 6/13/2023. We also noted 1 sample of performance report for the quarter ended 3/31/2023 that did not have clear evidence of preparer and reviewer of the report. Repeat Finding from Prior Year(s): Yes, Finding Number 2022-008 Cause and Effect: The Health System did not have proper controls in place to ensure the performance reports are prepared and reviewed by separate individuals with evidence of review documented and retained, which could lead to inaccurate information being reported. In addition, the Health System did not have proper controls in place to ensure financial reports are submitted timely with underlying support properly documented, which resulted in untimely reporting filing. Questioned Cost: None Recommendation: We recommend management implement policies and procedures to ensure performance reports are prepared and reviewed by separate individuals with evidence of review documented and that financial reports are submitted timely with underlying support properly documented. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding. The Health System will review, modify, and implement policies and procedures over the program to ensure that required reports are prepared and reviewed by separate individuals. Documentation will be maintained by the program to evidence preparation and review processes and timely filing of required reports.
