Improper Payroll Amounts Allocated to 93.959 Block Grant for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse

Corrective Action Plan

The Organization underwent a single audit as required by Uniform Guidance for the year that ended June 30, 2023. There were errors detected in payroll amounts which were charged to the grant. The Organization understands the importance of having strong controls over the payroll costs that get charged to each grant and are very familiar with the requirements of the respective grant agreements. During the process of reviewing payroll, payroll entries other than regular pay will be noted. If said variances from regular pay require being allocated to a different program, the Payroll Allocation worksheet will be immediately updated to reflect the proper allocation. Additionally, the Organization will be especially diligent in checking the monthly payroll allocations to each grant to ensure their accuracy.
