Corrective Action Plan

PRA is implementing a two‐part approach to ensure this finding is addressed properly. 1) Preparation of the SEFA has been permanently assigned to a Senior Accountant who is responsible for all grants payable and receivables with DHCD. The accountant will be responsible for updating a custom report in Microsoft Dynamics which generates the annual SEFA. This will be manually adjusted if necessary and sent to Assistant Director of finance or VP of Finance for review. 2) Before the SEFA is submitted for audit review – PRA will request DHCD to provide its contract(s) expenses and will attempt to reconcile this information to its own financial records to assist in the reconciliation process.
