Cause: Management was unaware of the requirement to report patient revenue net of adjustments. Effect: Amount reported for the 2nd quarter of 2021 and the 2nd quarter of 2022 were overstated resulting in lost revenues that were higher than actual.

OTHER MATTERS

The Single Audit report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, was not submitted on or prior to March 31, 2023, which was the nine-month deadline for report submission. Cause: The delay was due to management being unaware of the single audit submission requirements since management had not received funds requiring submission of a single audit in previous years. Effect: The late submission constitutes non-compliance with federal audit requirements, which may affect the Organization’s eligibility for future federal funding and could result in penalties or increased scrutiny from federal agencies. Questioned Costs: None Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: It is recommended that the Organization: 1. Strengthen its internal controls to ensure timely completion and submission of the Single Audit report. 2. Implement a monitoring system to track audit progress and deadlines.
