Finding Text

Federal Award Number and Award Year RW1 17, award year 3/1/2023 – 2/29/2024 for AL No. 93.914 Criteria The 2 CFR section 200.303 requires that non federal entities receiving federal awards establish and maintain internal control over the federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the non federal entity is managing the federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal awards. Condition and Context BayCare included expenditures related to 2023 dates of service on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). An adjustment to the final SEFA of $155,429 was required and resulted in identification of an additional major program. Possible Cause and Effect In preparing the SEFA, BayCare utilized the 2024 claim payments received as the basis of the amount on the SEFA rather than expenditures incurred during 2024. Thus, this resulted in 2023 expenditures being included on the SEFA. Questioned Costs None Statistically Valid Sample Not applicable Repeat of Prior Finding Yes Recommendations Management should enhance its process to include a supervisory review of the SEFA, ensuring its completeness and accuracy. View of Responsible Official Management agrees with the noted finding.

Corrective Action Plan

The grant accounting and SEFA preparation process will be refined, improved and documented. Internal resources will be reallocated to ensure sufficient coverage of these processes, and the primary accountability and oversight will shift to System Accounting. Management will ensure that in preparation of the SEFA, (1) a team member will assemble the initial reconciliation, (2) management will review the initial reconciliation and review the consolidation from all BayCare entities to the combined SEFA, (3) A final review will be conducted by the Director of Accounting. Sign-off from each preparer/reviewer shall be required. Meetings will be conducted as needed with departments outside of Hospital Finance to ensure completeness and accuracy of data. Anticipated completion date of Q1 2026.
