Corrective Action Plan This corrective action plan was developed in response to the audit finding related to the timely submission of Federal Financial Reports (FFRs). The purpose of this plan is to improve the controls that were previously in place to ensure FFRs are filed accurately and by required deadlines. Finding While the audit noted that the control for tracking the timely submission of Federal Financial Reports (FFRs) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services program could have been more robust at the time of reporting, it is important to recognize that this was an isolated administrative oversight rather than a systemic control failure. The organization has a strong history of compliance, as evidenced by its unmodified (clean) audit opinion, absence of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, and its classification as a low-risk auditee. There were no questioned costs, penalties, or loss of funding associated with this issue, and all other compliance requirements for federal programs were met. Corrective Action The existing process has been improved to track FFR due dates and support timely submission. This process includes the use of Grantseeker, a grant tracking system that provides automated daily email reminders beginning two weeks prior to each submission deadline. Each reporting task is assigned to the staff member responsible for completion of the filing. Oversight and Monitoring Oversight of the process is provided by a Grantseeker system administrator, who monitors task assignments and reminder notifications to help ensure reporting deadlines are met. This additional level of review supports accountability and helps confirm that required filings are completed in a timely manner. Responsible Party The staff member assigned to the specific grant is responsible for preparing and submitting the applicable FFR. The Grantseeker system administrator is responsible for oversight of the tracking process. Expected Outcome Implementation of this corrective action is expected to strengthen internal controls over grant reporting and ensure timely submission of all required Federal Financial Reports.
