#2022-003 ? Significant Deficiency: Grant and Contract Management; Reporting This is a partial repeat of prior year finding #2021-003 Conditions and Criteria: Catholic Charities West Michigan has in place policies that require a separate review after the preparation of reports, however: ? Two semi-annual reports for the Foster Grandparent/Senior Companion Cluster were prepared and submitted by the same individual without a separate review. ? Two quarterly Payment Management Services reports for Foster Grandparents/Senior Companion Cluster were prepared and submitted by the same individual without a separate review. Cause/Context: ? The quarterly and semi-annual reports for the Foster Grandparent/Senior Companion program were prepared and submitted by the program director. The same individual that submits reports also prepares them. The reports were not reviewed. Recommendations: ? An individual independent of the preparation of financial and program reports should review and approve those reports. This began to occur in June 2022 for the Foster Grandparent/Senior Companion program. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Catholic Charities West Michigan agrees that a separate review of both semi-annual reports and the quarterly Payment Management Services reports for Foster Grandparents/Senior Companion Cluster needs to occur and we have made those changes June 2022 as noted in the recommendations for this item.
