Corrective Action Plan

CHCC acknowledges the repeat finding regarding program income reporting on the annual Federal Financial Report (FFR). The error identified has been fully resolved for the final program period. To prevent recurrence, we have: • Conducted a comprehensive review of our federal reporting procedures. • Implemented additional oversight and cross-checks for FFR preparation. • Provided targeted training to accounting staff on federal reporting requirements. These steps are designed to ensure future FFRs are prepared using accurate financial data and to maintain compliance with federal standards.
