Finding Text

Finding 2022-004 Significant Deficiency: Reporting ? Control Finding ALN 93.498 ? Provider Relief Fund (PRF) and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through Entity: None, direct award to Child Center~Marygrove Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Uniform Guidance requires that controls over compliance be properly designed, in place and operating effectively to ensure compliance with the requirements of the federal program. Condition: We noted through procedures performed that management did not perform a review of information prior to it being submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to ensure its accuracy. Cause: Internal controls over compliance put in place by management were not designed effectively to ensure a review of reports required by the federal grant was performed and that proof of such reviews was documented and retained. Effect: The possibility exists that noncompliance with federal requirements could go undetected without proper controls over compliance relating to reporting. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Context: The PRF report for the period tested was not reviewed for accuracy prior to its submission to the PRF Reporting Portal. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend that electronic copies of reports submitted to federal agencies, as well as a documented review of those reports, be retained in a shared location to prevent the loss of data when there is turnover. Views of Responsible Officials: Marygrove CFO will create electronic folders on our system that include subfolders for each report filed. The subfolder will contain all reports and correspondences used to create the required filing. Once the filing is created it will be forwarded to the CEO or the CFOO of Catholic Charities (CFOO) for review prior to submission. Once the CEO or CFOO approves the report, the filing will be finalized in the PRF Reporting Portal. A copy of the final report and copies of all emails related to the review will be retained in the corresponding subfolder.
