2022-004 – Department of Health and Human Services CFDA #93.829 Section 223 Demonstration Programs to Improve Community Health Services (CCBHC) Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, Period of Performance, and Reporting Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria – 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides assurance that the entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and conditions of the federal award. Condition – Rimrock Foundation’s final expenditures identified as eligible and claimed under the federal program were reviewed and approved by separate individuals outside of the preparer. However, the expense submissions for reimbursement had no evidence of review and approval by a separate individual outside of the preparer. Rimrock Foundation’s statistical reports submitted under the federal program had no evidence of review and approval by a separate individual outside of the preparer. Cause – Rimrock Foundation has multiple individuals identifying and compiling eligible costs and statistics, however, Rimrock Foundation did not have an internal control process in place to ensure evidence of a secondary review and approval of eligible expenditures and statistical data that were summarized from the underlying supporting spreadsheets to the final expenditure listing and the final statistical reports. The final expenditure listing was used to claim allowable costs under the federal program. The review and approval of the final expenditure listing and the statistical reports submitted to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration was not performed by someone other than the preparer of the report. Effect – Without a secondary review and approval, there is a possibility that ineligible expenditures may be claimed under the program and the reports of statistical data may not be accurately completed. Questioned Costs – None reported. Context/Sampling – A nonstatistical sample of 60 expenditures was selected, from reports submitted to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, for testing of payroll, supplies, and equipment for activities allowed and unallowed and allowable costs/cost principles. The 20 statistical reports and forms submitted to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration were all tested for internal controls and compliance. Repeat Finding from Prior Year – Yes. Recommendation – While we recognize that this condition is not unusual for an organization with limited staffing, it is important that Rimrock Foundation is aware of this condition for financial reporting purposes. Management and the board of directors should continually be aware of the financial accounting and reporting of Rimrock Foundation and any changes in the accounting and reporting requirements. We recommend a review and approval process which is documented in writing, by someone other than the preparer, of any reimbursement requests or any statistical reports submitted to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Views of Responsible Officials – Management agrees with the finding.

2022-005 – Department of Health and Human Services CFDA #93.829 Section 223 Demonstration Programs to Improve Community Health Services (CCBHC) Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria – CFR 200.303 establishes that the entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations and terms and conditions of the federal award. In addition, 2 CFR 200.302(b)(6) establishes that the financial management system of the entity must provide written procedures to implement the requirements of 2 CFR 200.305 regarding procurement. The entity should also maintain effective internal controls to determine that payments of federal awards are not made to vendors who are suspended or debarred from federal contracts. Condition – Rimrock Foundation does not have formally documented written internal control procedures over compliance with federal award programs to meet the requirements noted above regarding compliance with federal regulations for procurement, suspension and debarment. Cause – Rimrock Foundation was not aware of certain requirements under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements regarding procurement for federal awards and did not implement controls to review vendors for suspension or debarment. Effect – Inadequate documentation of controls over these compliance areas may result in a reasonable possibility that Rimrock Foundation may not be able to detect and correct noncompliance with federal regulations regarding the use of federal funds in a timely manner and could contract with a vendor who has been suspended and debarred from federal contracts. Questioned Costs – None reported Context/Sampling – A nonstatistical sample of 3 contracts was selected, from expenditures in the reports submitted to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, for testing of controls over procurement of contracts which use federal funds. None of the contracts were reviewed for compliance with federal regulations and none of the vendors were reviewed for suspension and debarment prior to submission. Repeat Finding from Prior Year – Yes. Recommendation –Rimrock Foundation should establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that it is managing all federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations and terms and conditions of the federal award. In addition, 2 CFR 200.302(b)(6) establishes that the financial management system must provide written procedures to implement the requirements of 2 CFR 200.305 regarding procurement. As part of those controls, Rimrock Foundation should also determine that payments of federal awards are not made to vendors who are suspended or debarred from federal contracts. Views of Responsible Officials – Management agrees with the finding.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS
Condition

2020-001 ? Year Ended December 31, 2020 Material Weakness ? Auditor Preparation of Financial Statements Criteria: A properly designed system of internal control over financial reporting includes preparation of an entity?s financial statements and accompanying notes by internal personnel of the entity. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting and procedures related to the fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Condition: Rimrock Foundation does not have an internal control system designed to provide for the preparation of financial statements being audited, including related disclosures in accordance with GAAP. As auditors, we were requested to draft the financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements. Cause: This deficiency is partially due to the limited resources in the financial reporting process due to budgetary constraints. Effect: The effect of this condition is that the year-end financial reporting is prepared by a party outside the entity. The outside party does not have constant contact with the ongoing financial transactions that internal staff have. Furthermore, it is possible that new standards may not be adopted and applied timely to the interim financial reporting, which could result in a material misstatement of the interim financial statements. It is the responsibility of Rimrock Foundation?s management and those charged with governance to make a decision whether to accept the degree of risk associated with these conditions because of cost or other considerations. Recommendation: We recommend that management continue reviewing operating procedures in order to obtain the maximum internal control over financial reporting possible under the circumstances to enable staff to draft the financial statements internally. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.

Corrective Action Plan

2020-001 - Year Ended December 31, 2020-Auditor Preparation of Financial Statements Finding Summary: Rimrock Foundation does not have an internal control system designed to provide for the preparation of financial statements being audited, including related disclosures in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Eide Bailly LLP drafted our financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements. In addition, Rimrock Foundational does not have an internal control structure to properly prevent and detect or correct misstatements to those financial statements. Responsible Individuals: Burke Kufeld, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Action Plan: Given the current staffing of our organization, we do not think it would be cost effective to have an internal control system designed to provide for the preparation of the financial statements and accompanying notes. However, given the complex and constantly changing nature of financial reporting requirements, we will continue to consult with the auditors regarding financial reporting matters. We have designated a member of management to review the drafted financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS
Condition

2020-002 ? Year Ended December 31, 2020 Material Weakness ? Limited Size of Office Staff Criteria: A good system of internal control contemplates an adequate segregation of duties so that no one individual handles a transaction from its inception to completion. Condition: The limited number of staff of Rimrock Foundation, does not facilitate the segregation of duties necessary to achieve a low level of control risk. Cause: Rimrock Foundation?s size and budget constraints limit the number of personnel and does not facilitate the segregation of duties necessary to adequately separate procedures. Effect: Inadequate segregation of duties could adversely affect Rimrock Foundation?s ability to detect and correct unintentional or intentional misstatements in a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Recommendation: We recognize your staff may not be large enough to permit complete segregation of duties in all respects for an effective system of internal control. However, Rimrock Foundation should continually review its internal control procedures, other compensating controls, and monitoring procedures to obtain the maximum internal control possible under the circumstances. Furthermore, the Organization should periodically evaluate its procedures to identify potential areas where the benefits of further segregation of duties or addition of other compensating controls and monitoring procedures exceed the related costs. In addition, active involvement of the Board of Trustees and the Board?s knowledge of the operations is an effective control. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.

Condition: Rimrock Foundation does not have an internal control system designed to provide for the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. As auditors, we were requested to assist with the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Cause: Auditor assistance with preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is not unusual in an organization the size of Rimrock Foundation. Effect: There is a reasonable possibility that Rimrock Foundation would not be able to draft a complete and accurate schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Recommendation: We recommend management continually be aware of the financial reporting requirements related to Rimrock Foundation?s schedule of expenditures of federal awards and the internal controls that impact financial reporting.
