Audit of Contracted Human Services, July 2018

7 |  A u d i t o f C o n t r a c t e d H u m a n S e r v i c e s  J u l y 2 0 1 8 In response to the specific agencies noted above in the observation:  For the agency that requested payment for 31 days as opposed to actual days of the month,  contracted human services staff discovered the issue prior to the audit during the annual  monitoring of the agency’s contract, and was corrected by the end of the contract year.   For the agency that had divided the total contract by 12 (payment for one month of service  versus payment per days of the month), the reimbursements in fiscal year 2017 did not exceed  the total contractual award amount. The correction to the billing and reimbursement  methodology was made with the fiscal year 2018 contract, and the agency has been billing by  the rate times the days of each month for services since October 1, 2017.  Contracted human services staff will continue to maintain the contractual rate on the payment  request form. A contract staff member and a supervisor will review all requests for  reimbursement for accuracy prior to submission.
