MATERIAL WEAKNESSQUESTIONED COSTS

This section identifies the audit findings required to be reported by 2 CFR 200.516(a), including significant deficiencies, material weaknesses and material instances of noncompliance, including questioned costs and material abuse involving federal awards that are material to a major federal program. Finding No. 2023-01: Name of Federal Agency: Department of Health and Human Services Name of Pass Through Entity: Westmoreland County Children, Youth and Family Program Name: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Assistance Listing No: 93.558 Condition During 2023, the Organization was notified upon completion of a Fiscal and Program File Review performed by an awarding agency, related to one of their Family Support Services programs, that errors were identified and supporting documentation was not readily available. As a result, the awarding agency determined these to be errors in billing and represented an overpayment. Criteria The Organization did not comply with the contractual arrangements and was non-compliant with a number of provisions of the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Agreement with an awarding agency concerning financial responsibility and maintaining complete and accurate records related to one of their Family Support Services programs. Cause Upon initial review, there was insufficient understanding and training on the awarding agency’s documentation requirements. Effect The Organization is believed to have received an overpayment in the amount of approximately $586,594 due to lack of sufficient support for amounts billed and paid when compared to the awarding agency verified amount. Questioned Costs Approximately $586,594 of costs to be reimbursed to the awarding agency. Recommendation Management should improve processes surrounding submission of monthly invoices to include all required documentation to sufficiently support all items included within the invoice. Additional training should occur to ensure all individuals involved are aware of the requirement specified by the awarding agency. Reporting Views of Responsible Officials Management concurs with this finding and recommendation. See separate corrective action plan document.
