Finding Text
2022-1 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Criteria: Income eligibility should be assessed to ensure the total annual household income is within the required guidelines for the program. Condition: The Organization tracks eligibility for the Foster Grandparent Program?s participants to ensure the total annual household income does not exceed the requirements for the program. Effect: A stipend was paid to a participant who did not meet the income requirement for the program. Cause: Review of information update did not catch that a participant?s income was higher than the income requirement. Recommendation: The Organization should review income levels of their participants in a timely enough manner to identify participants who are ineligible prior to a stipend being paid. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The Organization agrees with this finding and will implement a corrective action plan.
