Tuerk House, Inc. acknowledges the finding related to the accuracy of financial and programmatic reporting. We recognize the critical importance of maintaining accurate and supportable reporting for federal awards, particularly in light of this being a repeat finding. In response, Tuerk House has initiated corrective actions to improve internal controls over financial and programmatic reporting. These actions include:
·Establishing a standardized reconciliation process to ensure that all amounts reported in financial reports are tied directly to supporting documentation from the general ledger and other internal financial systems.
·Implementing a dual-review protocol requiring reports to be reviewed and approved by both finance and program staff before submission to funding agencies.
· Providing targeted training to relevant personnel on grant reporting requirements, with an emphasis on reporting accuracy, documentation standards, and deadlines.
·Coordinating regular meetings between finance and program departments to align data and ensure consistency between financial and programmatic reporting (e.g., patient counts, service metrics, etc.).
·Developing a reporting calendar to track all reporting requirements and facilitate timely and accurate submissions.
We are committed to ensuring accurate and compliant reporting going forward and will monitor implementation closely to prevent recurrence.
