Corrective Action Plan

Disability Rights Arkansas, Inc. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 Finding Number: 2020-001 Finding: DRA was unable to provide a complete and accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for the audit due to turnover in the Finance Director position during half of the fiscal year. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Due to the turnover of the Finance Director position, DRA was working with an external accounting firm to maintain the organization?s finance function. The position remained unfilled for 6 months. The new Director of Finance and Administration was hired in March 2020. While this individual is well qualified for the position, there was difficulty preparing the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards due to inconsistent records during the interim period. The Director of Finance and Administration worked closely with the audit team to understand the complete and accurate preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, and we do not anticipate encountering this problem in the future. There is no corrective action plan in place because the finding was corrected through the hire and training of a qualified individual, and due to the nature of the interim period and transition.
