Finding Text
Criteria and Condition: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Provider Relief Fund Reporting Portal Reporting User Manual provides guidance on reporting expenses and lost revenues in the HRSA portal. Context: The amount of expenses reported by management in the HRSA portal Period 2 submission was incorrect. Management entered the total amounts of expenses for Periods 1 and 2 rather than just the Period 2 expenses that should have been reported in the Period 2 submission. Cause and Effect: Management misinterpreted the instructions and reported total expenses for all quarters rather than just Period 2 expenses on the HRSA portal Period 2 submission. Questioned Costs: Management?s expenses and lost revenue calculation supported the Period 2 PRF payments received although the amounts submitted as expenses in the portal were incorrect. Therefore, there are no questioned costs identified. Recurring Finding: This finding is not a recurring item. Recommendations: We recommend that management review the HRSA Provider Relief Funding Reporting Portal Reporting User Manual prior to each reporting deadline to ensure any changes communicated are addressed in the System?s submission. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Plan: Management refers the reader to the separately provided Corrective Action Plan for its remediation.
