CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN February 16, 2023 Community Action Association of Pennsylvania respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit: Community Service Block Grant Program Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Hamilton & Musser, PC 176 Cumberland Parkway Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 Audit Period: July 1, 2021 ? June 30, 2022 The findings from the June 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Findings ? Financial Statement Audit Significant Deficiencies #2022-001 ? Significant Deficiency ? Segregation of Duties Recommendation We recommend someone other than the Finance Director, preferably the CEO or another office staff, open the mail and record/scan the checks received into a check log. View of responsible officials and planned corrective action The Executive Administrative Assistant is now tasked with and responsible for opening the mail and recording the checks into a check log. The Executive Administrative Assistant will forward checks to the financial services team for additional action steps. #2022-002 ? Significant Deficiency ? Authorization and Approval Recommendation We recommend that all credit card charges are matched to a receipt and reviewed and approved by both the Board President and Board Treasurer, as is the policy with other payables/disbursements. This eliminates the risk associated with having the CEO issue approval over his own credit card charges. View of responsible officials and planned corrective action All credit card receipts will be submitted by the CEO or appropriate staff member to the financial services team. Credit card reconciliation documentation and appropriate receipts will be provided to the Board Treasurer for regular review. -28- Findings ? Financial Statement Audit (Continued) #2022-003 ? Significant Deficiency ? Authorization and Approval Recommendation Non-cash journal entries make it easy for organizations to overstate their revenue or understate their expenses with unsubstantiated accruals/deferrals. We recommend that all journal entries be authorized and approved by the CEO prior to entry. View of responsible officials and planned corrective action As noted, this is no longer an issue with internal controls having been corrected as of December 31, 2021. All non-recurring journal entries will be approved by the CEO. Findings ? Federal Award Programs Audit Community Service Block Grant, CFDA #93.569 #2022-004 ? Significant Deficiency ? Allowable Costs Recommendation We recommend maintaining weekly timesheets with CEO approval, itemized by time allocated per grant. The financial statement records should be supported by direct time allocated to the grant as indicated on the approved timesheets. View of responsible officials and planned corrective action CAAP will do its due diligence in appropriately allocating costs should similar costs be incurred.
