2022-001 Financial Reporting State Opioid Response Discretionary Grant AL # 93.788 Coronavirus Relief Fund AL # 21.019 SAMH - Crisis Prevention and Stabilization CSFA # 60.155 Other matter required to be reported in accordance with Uniform Guidance Condition: The Organization did not submit unaudited financial data in an accurate and timely manner to oversight organizations. The audited financial data was submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the State Department of Children and Families 15 months after the Organization?s fiscal year end. In addition, there was an error discovered in the initial reporting related to the Crises Prevention and Stabilization monthly reports that was noted during our audit procedures. Context: The Organization?s audited submission is required to be sent to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and State Department of Children and Families 6 months after their fiscal year-end (December 31st). The Organization is also required to submit monthly reports to the State Department of Children and Families in relation to their expenditures for Crisis Prevention and Stabilization. Criteria: In accordance with HHS and DCF rules and regulations, the Organization is required to submit certain data in accordance with their regulations in an accurate and timely manner. Cause: During the year, certain personnel and software issues arose to cause an error and a delay in internally generated reports used to create the submissions for both HHS and DCF. Effect: The submissions were not submitted in an accurate and timely manner. In addition, HHS and DCF could not provide timely financial oversight. Auditor?s Recommendations: The Organization should continue to develop and implement internal controls over both internal and external reporting, and the year-end close process to ensure reporting remains accurate and timely, with any unexpected financial date being investigated and corrected before it is reported. The Organization should consider additional staff training on various reporting requirements.
