U.S. Department of Agriculture Federal Financial Assistance Listing #10.766 Community Facilities Loans and Grants Cluster Preparation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Criteria: Proper controls over financial reporting include the ability to prepare the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (Schedule) and accompanying notes to the Schedule. Condition: The Hospital does not have an internal control system designed to provide for a complete and accurate schedule of expenditures of federal awards being audited. We were requested to draft the Schedule. Cause: Management has requested that the auditor assist with the preparation of the Schedule. Auditor assistance with preparation of the Schedule is not unusual as the Schedule has unique and specialized requirements and preparation is only required when the Hospital meets a specified threshold of federal expenditures. Effect: There is a reasonable possibility that the Hospital would not be able to draft the Schedule that is correct without the assistance of the auditors. Questioned Costs: None reported. White Mountain Regional Medical Center Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs Year Ended December 31, 2022 Context: No sampling was utilized. Repeat Finding from Prior Years: Yes Recommendation: While we recognize that this condition is not unusual for an organization with limited staffing, we recommend management be aware of the financial reporting requirements relating to the Hospital?s schedule of expenditures of federal awards and the internal controls that impact financial reporting. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.
