Per 2 CFR 200.510(b), the auditee must also prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the period covered by the auditee's financial statements, which must include the total federal awards expended, as determined in accordance with 200.502 basis for determining federal awards expended. Condition Controls in place were not adequate to ensure the schedule of federal expenditures was complete and accurate. Questioned Costs N/A If questioned costs are not determinable, description of why known questioned costs were undetermined or otherwise could not be reported N/A Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed N/A Context ProMedica did not initially include the funds received through the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery funds on the SEFA. Cause and Effect ProMedica has a process in place to identify all potential sources of federal funding received during the year, however they received some incorrect information when going through these procedures, resulting in the SEFA being incomplete for the year ended December 31, 2023. Upon discovery of the error, ProMedica prepared a SEFA that included the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery funds. This lack of controls resulted in the reissuance of the 2023 single audit. Recommendation Management should implement controls to ensure all federal funding received is properly identified as such and included on the SEFA. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan Management fully understands the importance of internal controls to ensure the schedule of federal expenditures is complete and accurate. The Grants Department will amend its current written processes regarding award establishment to include requiring documentation indicating an award is federal funds prior to establishing the project in Infor CloudSuite Financials & Supply Management (Accounting software). Additionally, the Grants Department will routinely audit the database the department utilizes to record awards to ensure the field to note federal awards is properly updated. Furthermore, the SEFA will be reviewed with documented sign-off by each member of the Grants Team prior to submission
