2. Risk Management
Risk Management
  • Involves Identifying priority activities within
    the organization for risk assessment by
    considering area that materially impact the
    financial position and results of operations
    (e.g., assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses or
    expenditures account balances that are material
    in dollar amount)

Risk Management Introduction
Risk Management
  • Major part of ICF
  • Local, regional and natural disaster and
    technical failure planning are only a part of
    risk management
  • Focus is on managing the risk of improper use of
    public funds
  • This year the concept was introduced into the
    Local Plans
  • Looking for a single, not a homerun this year
  • Build on this each year

4
What is Risk Management?
Risk Management
  • Lessening adverse impact if a risk event occurs
    is the heart of good risk management
  • Assuring events do not result in disaster
  • It is geared towards potential events that may
    occur when things are different from planned,
    sometimes called omissions and errors
  • Above Beyond Program Design
  • Core EAP design addresses risk with controls
    policies, technical support (eHEAT), segregation
    of duties monitoring services and financial
    activities. EAP has controls to reduce the
    possibility of the actions of an individual
    creating incident, error or fraud.
  • Service Providers create detailed plans for their
    activities to assure, among other things,
    segregation of duty back up plans if loss of
    staff.

  • Risk management involves
  • Determining
  • Assessing
  • Planning
  • Monitoring
  • Mitigating

Risk Management
EAP Role In Risk Management
  • General Expectations
  • Acknowledge your responsibility to design,
    implement maintain the control structure
  • Contribute direction to identify, prioritize and
    review risks and controls
  • Remove obstacles for compliance remedy control
    deficiencies
  • Conduct self-assessment testing to monitor the
    controls within your processes
  • Routinely (Quarterly)
  • confirm key controls are implemented and
    effective
  • maintain documentation to support this assessment
  • Immediate Action Items
  • Educate your personnel about this effort
  • Reinforce internal focus on controls within your
    area
  • Surface any risks, concerns or issues promptly to
    allow adequate attention for correction
  • Fix control gaps as soon as possible

7
Risk Management
Risk Considerations
  • Evaluate the nature types of errors omissions
    that could occur, i.e., what can go wrong
  • Consider significant risks (errors and omissions)
    common in the industry or have been experienced
    in prior years (ex. Mich, Penn)
  • Information Technology risks (i.e. - access,
    backups, security, data integrity,
    non-segregation of duties)
  • Areas where segregation of duties would reduce
    risk
  • Volume, size, complexity and homogeneity of the
    individual transactions processed through a given
    account or group of accounts (revenue,
    receivables)
  • Susceptibility to error or omission as well as
    manipulation or loss
  • Robustness versus subjectiveness of the processes
    for determining significant estimates
  • Extent of change in the business and its expected
    effect
  • Other risks extending beyond potential material
    errors or omissions in the financial statements

8
Risk Management
Risk Considerations
  • Consider a railroad crossing and developing
    appropriate controls
  • A rural road with little traffic slow train, a
    sign
  • A busier road train is faster, add lights
    crossing sign at tracks

9
Risk Management
Risk Management Mechanics
  • The risk assessment tool reduces risk when used
    to identify, assess, plan for maintain routine
    monitoring of risk areas

Risk Management Mechanics
Uncertainty Item Result of Occurrence Probability of Occurrence Severity of Impact Response Indicators
What Geared towards events that may occur when things are different from planned sometimes called omissions and errors. Drive around gates Narrative of the outcomes if the event occurs Calculate damage School bus is very sad bad publicity Designate likelihood of event and, if helpful, a description of why the probability was selected People in this county go around Designate a level of impact if the event occurred. If applicable, a description of why the probability was selected. Slow train, low impact injury Describes what to do when you find out On rural road the injuries might be measured by EMT response time. Maybe different Preparedness for different users. (Bus tanker rules) Describes how the event becomes known
How Brainstorm with staff Reduce list Assess using this matrix. This is iterative, so change or eliminate as you learn Review periodically Describe what happens. Be as complete as possible. This helps to determine severity, response and indicator Can use rating of High, Medium and Low with narrative prose. Can use rating of High, Medium and Low with narrative prose. Key response off Result, Probability Impact. Depending on combinations, responses include 1. Prevent 2. Check Routinely 3. Response Plan ID ways event is discovered develop ways to monitor for if weaknesses are discovered. Enact these measures
11
Item Example
Uncertainty Item
Matrix Cell Direct Payments to household. Direct payments remove a check point from normal EAP controls by removing vendor registration and vendor cross checks. Could include an application processor fabricating households. If combined with falsifying households for application, multiple direct payments could be generated
Consider-ations Programmatic Controls places limits, but risk still exists. Risk manage- ment looks the Items beyond the limits EAP excepts limited risks, but this assures due diligence is done for the omissions. Program Controls EAP pays energy vendor. DOF, DOC eHEAT registration. Vendors and households gets notification. Policy Households may receive direct payments when payment to vendors is difficult. Self cut wood receive amount remaining after benefit is distributed Households with electric and heat included in the rent. Households with heat included in rent, and only exceeds their electric costs Households whose vendors refused to sign the vendor agreement. Households unable to secure a vendor.
12
Item Example
Result of Occurrence
Matrix Cell Household receives one or more cash benefit Benefit is used for non intended purposes or misused by household Very bad publicity for program affects services to others in need, when 5 Eye Witness News reports people cashing it at local bar Multiple direct payments by one person would result in services not available for other households in need
Consider-ations Thinking of results is also constrained by the program rules
13
Item Example
Probability of Occurrence
Matrix Cell Low to Medium For a single household Medium For conspiracy with an Application processor Low
Consider-ations Conspiracy reduces the probability, but this must be considered with the ease, the payback and the penalty A higher payback makes it more worth the risk Conspiracy makes it complicated to keep secret In this example For the household The penalty is low The payback is medium considering penalty For the Application processor - Penalties are high (Job) Payback is higher
14
Item Example
Severity of Impact
Matrix Cell Low to Medium For a single household Low For conspiracy with an Application processor high
Consider-ations Low because of limits on benefit amounts unless multiple
15
Item Example
Response
Matrix Cell Require accounts whenever possible Recover funds when it occurs File Incident Report Investigate incident and escalate appropriately (Error and Fraud) Terminate staff if involved
Consider-ations Plan for the response and educate people
16
Item Example
Indicators
Matrix Cell Report from concerned citizen Pattern of direct payments to a similar addresses, name etc. (Data analysis) An inordinate amount of direct payments for an SP without socio economic reason (eHEAT data) Inordinate number of direct payments form a particular Application Processor (Files and eHEAT)
Consider-ations The first bullet is a common way to hear about this but developing ways to monitor is the maturation of risk management

Risk Management
Risk Management and EAP
  • The Local Plan requires risk assessment.
  • The State has started to conduct formal risk
    assessment
  • State Service Providers identify risk and use
    program specific knowledge to do diligent
    planning, monitoring and actions for these risks.
  • The State will continue to develop risk
    management requirements and practices. Examples
    include
  • Duplication Checks and other queries
  • The FFY2010 Local Plan is a first step of
    formalizing the SP process
  • SP should design practices to improve it
  • DOC will support the development of competency in
    this area
  • DOC will conduct risk management activities

19
Risk Management
Dup Check
  • Dup Check is not a Russian hockey player
  • Dup Check is not a quality control effort
  • Dup check is a risk mitigation activity
  • EAP must do due diligence on risk areas to assure
    responsible management of public funds

20
Risk Management
Why Dup Check on Vendor Accounts?
  • Payments to vendors accounts is the main way
    money money flows
  • Using it as a key, there cross checks with other
    data

Risk Management
Dup Check Procedure for FFY2010
  • Overview
  • DOC will periodically produce a matching account
    numbers list (Early often to keep effort
    sizable).
  • SP will receive a secure email with their list.
  • SP investigates by performing the following
    processes
  • Analyze validate reason match is correct
  • Escalate as needed (Detail in the following
    slides)
  • Take appropriate corrective action
  • Document results and report

22
Risk Management
Dup Check Procedure for FFY2010
  • Step 1 Validate the Reason for Match Is Correct
  • If you know a valid reason for duplication enter
    the reason for the duplicate vendor account
    number on the spreadsheet
  • Look at paper application and file. Determine
    probable reason and escalate appropriately.
  • Ask household(s) to explain if appropriate
    occurrences and record finding in list
  • Examples One household moved out and now rents
    the house to a relative who applied for EAP.
    Building has multiple units with one landlord
    account.

23
Risk Management
Dup Check Procedure for FFY2010
  • Step 2 Duplicate Application Error
  • Take corrective action including recalling funds
  • Close duplicate applications
  • Record an explanation of your determination on
    the spreadsheet

24
Risk Management
Dup Check Procedure for FFY2010
  • Step 3. Duplicate Application Fraud Suspected
  • Review previous years and review all the
    information provided
  • Take corrective action including recalling funds
  • Submit an incident report
  • Close duplicate applications
  • Record an explanation on the spreadsheet
  • Investigate fraud, report to officials and
    follow EAP Policy Manual Chapter 17

25
Risk Management
Dup Check Procedure for FFY2010
  • Step 4 Return list with validation or actions to
    DOC
  • The completed list (Excel spreadsheet) with
    explanations is due at eap.mail_at_state.mn.us
  • A deadline will be prescribed. DOC tracks
    compliance.
  • Delete the households private data (name, SSN,
    address, vendor account name) before returning
    the spreadsheet. Contact your EAP field
    representative if you have any questions.

26
Risk Management
Dup Check Procedure for FFY2010
  • Best Other Practice
  • Applications with the same vendor for Heat
    Electric should list the vendor once, choose heat
    and electric as vendor type. Less likely to get
    false positives for risk and best for application
    processing.
  • Need to report issues and non issues. As a
    program we need to assure we have done due
    diligence to protect the integrity of the program
  • Late report will result if you dont respond to
    request

27
Data Practices in the EAP Manual
Risk Management
  • Chapter 19. DATA PRACTICES AND RECORDS p. 120

28
Chapter 19. DATA PRACTICES AND RECORDS
Risk Management
  • Data Practices Policies and Procedures, Private
    Data
  • Who has access
  • Who does not
  • Must be released to the individual or to a 3rd
    party with consent
  • Social Security Number for EAP Applications
  • Optional

29
Chapter 19. DATA PRACTICES AND RECORDS
Risk Management
  • Application Documentation, p. 122
  • Where and how to save application documentation
  • Security Of Records, p. 123
  • List of requirements to secure records
  • Records Accessibility, p.124
  • What it means to have access to records
  • Reasons for maintaining access to records
  • Record Retention Requirements, p.124
  • Records to retain

30
Informed Consent For Release Of Information
Risk Management
  • Informed consent is needed when the information
    will be given or sent to a third party.
  • Example Garnishment information requests often
    go to an attorney
  • Informed consent are key words that need to be
    taken at face value
  • The statute is very specific about what must be
    included in an informed request

31
Data Practices Focus
Risk Management
  • Develop a good working relationship with the data
    practices contact in your agency, if there is one
  • Plan Have a written policy
  • Who will have authority to see private data
  • Who will have authority to release private data
  • How your agency will maintain data security in
    all situations
  • How you will request private data and document
    the request
  • How you will maintain documentation of requests
    for private data
  • How you will train staff on data privacy
    requirements
  • Use centralized authority in the agency, if any
  • Centralize authority in EAP, if possible

32
Plan - Local Procedures Needed
Risk Management
  • To request information allowed by the application
    consent so the request is done in a consistent
    manner and so each request is documented
  • Best practice is for the local procedures to use
    a form for requesting information by letter or
    e-mail and a format for documenting a request by
    telephone

Summary of Data Practices
Risk Management
  • Staff should know
  • What private data is and how it relates to EAP
  • What data they can reveal and what they need to
    do to assure they arent violating data privacy
  • How to document information they have revealed
  • Staff with authority to release private data
    should know
  • All of the above
  • The SP-approved processes for following up on
    data requests
  • Agency management should
  • Support the data practices activities with
    knowledge and practical resources

38
Debtors Exemption Claims
39
Debtors Exemption Claims (Issue)
  • Collection Firms are asking for information
    beyond what the manual states that we have to
    tell them
  • They are saying that unless we tell them when
    payments were made, they will not honor the
    garnishment exemption (sometimes people lie)
  • We need a universal form that gives only the
    information that they need

40
Debtors Exemptions Claims (Solution)
  • You dont need to be experts in the law but you
    do need to know and understand it
  • There were changes made to the law for 2009
  • Garnishment firms need to be told EAP rules and
    timelines by you
  • You are the EAP expert!

41
Debtors Exemption Claims
  • Many of you may have already seen these requests
  • A household is being pursued to pay a debt by a
    third party collection agent that may or may not
    be an attorney
  • The collection agents use tools like garnishment
    of wages and levies aka Freezing of the bank
    accounts
  • The law provides certain protections of some or
    all of their money in certain situations, for
    certain people
  • The form used to claim these protections is
    called an Exemption Notice

42
Debtors Exemption Claims
  • Some or all of their money is protected if
  • The source of the money is Government benefits
    such as Social Security benefits Unemployment
    benefits Workers' compensation or Veterans
    benefits
  • They currently receive other assistance based on
    need
  • They have received government benefits in the
    last six months
  • They were in jail or prison in the last six
    months
  • Some or all of their earnings (wages) are
    protected if
  • They get government benefits (see list of
    government benefits)
  • They currently receive other assistance based on
    need
  • They have received government benefits in the
    last six months
  • They were in jail or prison in the last six
    months

43
Debtors Exemptions Claims Law
  • The legislation, which will become effective on
    Aug. 1, 2009, updates the exemption process and
    makes technical changes to the current law
  • The legislation modifies legal requirements
    regarding levies and garnishments and expedites
    the process for both the creditor and debtor and
    makes the following revisions to the current
    garnishment law
  • Modifies the process
  • Updates forms
  • Creates a new notice of intent to garnish
  • Alters the exemption form and creditors
    exemption form and
  • Adjusts timing requirements.
  • It does not change the intent of existing law or
    impact current or future case law (quote from the
    new law)

50
Debtors Exemption Claims and EAP
  • A person's wages are exempt if they currently
    receive need based aid, or have been a recipient
    within the last 6 months
  • Households are now required to provide bank
    statements with the exemption notices
  • The creditor is looking for some proof that the
    debtor currently receives EAP or was a recipient
    in the last 6 months
  • Will need additional help from us unless they
    received a direct payment
  • A benefit statement from us will suffice
  • So, heres what you need to do
  • The new export will contain information on
    payments and dates
  • Redact what is unnecessary (payment amounts)
  • If they demand more you can refer them to the
    state

51
Debtors Exemption Claims and EAP
  • You are the EAP experts
  • You have the support of DOC and our timelines for
    eligibility is clearly documented in our EAP
    policy manual
  • Once determined eligible a household is eligible
    until the end of the program year (September 30)
  • They are still protected for 6 months after they
    last received assistance

52
Debtors Exemption Claim Notice
  • The Debtors Exemption Claim Notice is a type
    of Informed Consent form (Appendix 19B) and will
    be updated to reflect the new statues
  • New template letter for providing the information
    that will meet the legal requirements and reflect
    EAP policy guidelines
