Corrective Action Plan

GRANT REPORTING RECONCILIATION Department of Health and Human Services 93.788 Program management will implement policies and procedures to ensure proper grant reporting reconciliation. The State Opioid Response Project Manager will reconcile all reports submitted to the grantor to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. As of fiscal year 2022 the State Opioid Response Project Manager initiates and completes all reconciliations. Prior to this date the West Virginia Public Transit Association experienced a high personnel turnover rate with multiple individuals completing reconciliations. Additionally, the State Opioid Response Project Manager will work with all participating transit agencies to ensure timely submission of quarterly expenses so reconciliations accurately portray expenses incurred during that time period.
