Background:
The audit identified a need for stronger internal controls to ensure the timely submission of all required grant reports.
Corrective Measures Implemented
Centralized Tracking System:
• A comprehensive, living grant reporting list is now maintained in Microsoft Teams.
• The list includes:
o All required grant reports categorized by program
o A chronological tab with due dates, responsible staff, and report status
Oversight & Monitoring:
• The list is reviewed biweekly by the CFO, Grant Accountant, and other designated staff.
• Upcoming deadlines are proactively flagged, and submission progress is tracked to ensure compliance.
Outcome:
This system improves SHWC’s ability to meet federal and state grant reporting deadlines and is subject to continuous review and updating.
Anticipated Completion Date: Implemented as of Q1 FY2025 and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Responsible Individuals: CFO, Grant Accountant, and Grant Writer
