Corrective Action Plan Oxnard Pathway to Educated Nutrition, Inc. CNIPS ID# 05035 VENDOR # X278-00 Corrective Action Plan for Year Ending September 30, 2022 Oxnard Pathway to Educated Nutrition, Inc. respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. Findings: 2022-001 CACFP-Cash Management Provider checks outstanding without being reissued, payments not being received in a timely manner, not monitoring outstanding checks and follow up with providers. Reason: Fraud was found on our provider account. The account was closed in May 2022. New provider account opened May 2022. Oversight on our part by not referring back to uncleared checks on bank reconciliations in closed account. Action Taken: Payments were made as soon as we were able to verify that the checks were actually uncleared. The funds were sent via direct deposit to the providers that were found outstanding during our audit. A copy of those payments was sent to the auditors. Corrections: Provider Account- Our agency no longer issues paper checks to our providers. All providers receive their reimbursements via direct deposit. Providers are required to fill out an authorization form with their banking information giving us permission to deposit into the account listed on the form. If funds are returned due to incorrect banking information, the provider is contacted and made aware of the return. The money is redeposited into their account once the current banking information is received. A new updated authorization form is required to be sent in to keep on file. We monitor our accounts online frequently to ensure that any returned funds get resolved and reissued immediately. Administrative Costs Account- Our agency still issues paper checks to pay all administrative costs monthly. Between 8-12 checks are issued during the month. We monitor our account online and check off as each check clears. If a check has not cleared by the last week of the month, we will call the payee to verify receipt of check. If check has not been received, we will issue a stop payment on the check and reissue as soon as possible. Our CPA flags any uncleared checks or direct deposits that are outstanding when reconciling our accounts. Hard copies of the reconciliations are given to the director for review and to keep on file. The CPA is required to make the director immediately aware upon finding an outstanding check/direct credits via phone call or verbally in person.
