Finding  No.  2023‐001:  Allowable  activities  –  Significant  deficiency  in  internal  control  over  compliance. Criteria:  PPGT’s  internal  control  procedures  over  compliance  specify  that  eligibility  screening  forms are completed and kept on file for all Title X clients. Condition:  During  allowable  activities  testing  for  Title  X,  1  out  of  60  client  encounters  tested  were missing eligibility screening forms. Cause:  Staff  at  patient  care  locations  did  not  scan  the  forms  into  the  program  software,  resulting in lack of documentation. Effect:  Internal  control  over  allowable  activities was not effectively  implemented  to  prevent  noncompliance. Recommendation:  Staff  should  be  trained  on  the  importance  of  maintaining  eligibility  documentation in accordance with PPGT’s policies. Management’s Response: See corrective action plan.

Finding No. 2023‐002: Reporting – Material weakness in internal control over compliance and compliance finding. Criteria: Organizations are required to report first‐tier subaward actions that obligate $30,000 or  more  in  federal  funds  through  the  Federal  Funding  Accountability  and  Transparency  Act  Subaward Reporting System no later than the end of the month following the month in which the obligation was made. Condition:  During  reporting  testing  it  was  noted  that  PPGT  had  not  submitted  the  required  reporting for their Title X subawards. Cause:  PPGT  didn’t  implement  an  effective  control  for  ensuring  the  Federal  Funding  accountability and Transparency Act reporting is submitted. Effect: Internal control was not properly designed to prevent noncompliance, and PPGT was not in compliance with the reporting requirement. Recommendation: PPGT should implement internal controls over the subawarding process that ensures the required reporting is submitted in a timely manner.
