Corrective Action Plan

Management agrees with the finding that the Period 4 Provider Relief Fund report included expenses for utility and insurance expenditures that were not directly related to the District's prevention, preparation and/or response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management reviewed HRSA guidance and examples of allowable expenses prior to completing Period 4 Provider Relief Fund reporting and concluded these expenses were considered allowable as general and administrative expenses incurred during our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management notes that expenses and lost revenue reported exceed the amount of PRF funding received even if these expenses were excluded. We have taken corrective action for the review of completeness and accuracy for inclusion of allowable expenditures. PRF reporting, subsequent to this audit, will be reviewed prior to submission to ensure accuracy of reporting. Chief Financial Officer, Marie Castro, is responsible for ensuring the corrective action plan is followed. The corrective action plan will be implemented on June 30, 2024.
