U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (?HUD?) Norwood Life Society respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2022. Audit period: January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS?FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS Department of Housing and Urban Development 2022-001 Mortgage Insurance_Nursing Homes, Intermediate Care Facilities, Board and Care Homes and Assisted Living Facilities ? Assistance Listing No. 14.129 Recommendation: We recommend that the Project work with their Regional HUD representative to discuss the unauthorized loan to result in either approval or a plan for resolution. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Rick Steffens, the CFO, will oversee this plan, and the plan has been implemented and fully resolved. The unauthorized loan was due to an increasing intercompany balance due from an affiliated nursing home (?Bethesda?) who was losing money and unable to reimburse Norwood Crossing for shared bills for items including benefits and insurance. Due to the size of the losses, we realized this issue was unable to be resolved without disposing of Bethesda and began working on selling Bethesda in the second quarter of 2022. Bethesda was supposed to close on the sale on November 30, 2022, which would have solved the intercompany issue during the 2022 audit year, which was our plan. However, the sale was continuously delayed due to numerous serious issues pushing the actual sale date all the way back to July 1, 2023. The audit finding for the unauthorized intercompany loan was for $1,724,731.69. However, the intercompany balance continued to grow in 2023 and had an additional $574,583.86 of expenses that built up in 2023 before the sale occurred. This made a grand total of $2,299,315.55 that needed to be repaid from Bethesda to Norwood Crossing for the unauthorized intercompany loans through the sale date. Bethesda worked to repay the intercompany loans the best it could during 2023 before the sale occurred, and completely paid down the remaining balance on the unauthorized intercompany loans shortly after the sale of Bethesda occurred. The following payments were made from Bethesda to Norwood Crossing: Payment Dates Payment Amounts 5/8/2023 $675,000.00 5/23/2023 $350,000.00 7/17/2023 $1,274,315.55 Total $2,299,315.55 These repayments above fully resolved the unauthorized intercompany loans that were 1) in the 2022 Audit as a finding, and 2) increases that occurred in 2023 after the 2022 year end. Furthermore, Bethesda has officially been sold as of July 1, 2023 and is no longer causing this issue to continue to occur going forward.
