Finding 47351 (2022-001)

COUNTY OF DEL NORTE CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 FROM: Clinton Schaad, Auditor-Controller SUBJECT: Response to Audit finding 2022 2022-001 Management Response The County agrees with the finding that the Probation Department was delayed in the billing for reimbursement as it relates to the National School Lunch Program. The County (Probation Department) is required to submit for reimbursement within 60 days following the last day of the month covered by the claim. Unfortunately due to staffing issues the Probation Department had to submit a late billing in June. This was the only billing that was past the 60 day required billing timeframe. Fortunately, this was the first and only time this has happened with this program. This delayed billing did not have any financial impact on the reimbursed amounts. The County Auditor-Controller has reached out to the Probation Department to discuss the cause of this delayed billing. If the Probation Department faces decreased staffing to the point they are delayed on program billings in the future the Auditor-Controller will assist as needed. Anticipated Completion date This corrective action plan has already been put in place. Responsible party Ultimately the County as an entity is responsible for all program activities but his particular program is 100% managed by the County Probation Department both fiscally and programmatically.
