2022-001 (a) Comments on Findings and Recommendations: While management concurs with the finding and auditors? recommendation to enhance internal controls to ensure reports are filed timely, it believes the failure to report the Period 2 funds was not due to neglect but simply due to the untimely death of an employee. After the death of the Organization?s employee, management called the HRSA Provider Support Line, prior to the original due date of the reporting deadline, and was told that all reports had been filed. The Organization is currently working with HRSA to determine if an exception to the late filing can be obtained for reasonable cause based upon the previously mentioned circumstances. The Organization believes it has fully earned the Provider Relief Funds as it had sufficient lost revenues to support the need for the funding. (b) Action(s) Taken or Planned: Management is aware of the requirements related to the reporting submission. Management intends to implement proper procedures and policies for all grant reporting by June 30, 2023. Furthermore, internal controls over the program are being strengthened to prevent future non-compliance.
