Finding 2022-001 - Reporting Federal Awards: 93.498 Criteria: Controls should be in place to ensure grant reports are submitted accurately. Condition: The Organization inadvertently claimed unallowable other Provider Relief Fund (?PRF?) expenses for reimbursement on the PRF reporting portal. The Organization should have reported $0 as other PRF expenses and claimed only lost revenues for reimbursement. The Organization?s lost revenues for the grant period exceeded their PRF funding received. Cause: Error was caused due to the PRF program being new and the Organization?s lack of experience with grant reporting. The Organization?s management believed PRF expenses were required to be reported but should have reported $0. Potential Effect: There is no effect on the use of the grant funds in accordance with the grant?s terms and conditions, as the Organization had sufficient lost revenue in the period to support the entire amount of the grant. Recommendations: The Organization should develop formal policies and procedures to review the terms and conditions of new grants and approve the submission of required reports to ensure the accuracy of the reports and avoid potential noncompliance with grant?s terms and conditions.
