<br /> 1 . Transfer of Funds: There are two categories of public funds
<br /> that couldbefF5hsferred to the private non-profit: Title XX
<br /> staff funds and purchase of care funds. The mechanism for this
<br /> transfer is by contract between DSS and the private non-profit.

<br /> 2. Liabil1ity: Though DSS could contract with a private non-profit
<br /> for expenditure of day care funds and the delivery of day care
<br /> services, liability, in the event of contracting, would remain
<br /> with the DSS.
<br /> 3. Monitoring and Accountability: Though, in a contracting arrange-
<br /> .
<br /> ment, Prange County would retain liability for a private non-
<br /> profi* non-compliance with federal and/or state regulations ,
<br /> or theSmisapplication of funds, there are a number of mechanisms
<br /> available to mitigate this occurrence.

<br /> al The optimal arrangement would be for the County to
<br /> ..
<br /> retain control over the handling of all funds. In
<br /> this arrangement, the private non-profit would be
<br /> responsible for all programmatic areas while the
<br /> County would retain all accounting, check writing
<br /> and other fiscal functions.
<br /> b. An alternative arrangement would be to vest all
<br /> programmatic and fiscal functions with the private
<br /> non-profit. The County could mitigate its liability
<br /> in this arrangement by requiring of the private
<br /> non-profit the following:
<br /> 1. The County could require the private non-
<br /> .
<br /> profit -to undergo an annual financial and
<br /> ,
<br /> compliance audit by an independent accounting
<br /> firm. - -
<br /> 2. The County could require the private non-
<br /> profit to establish specific accounting
<br /> procedures and internal controls to insure
<br /> sound financial management.
<br /> 3. The County could require the private non-
<br /> profit to adopt an annual budget and submit
<br /> monthly financial reports.
<br /> 4. The County could stipulate in the contract
<br /> that the private non-profit shall be respon-
<br /> sible for any costs or expenses incurred as
<br /> a result of any acts or omissions by the
<br /> private non-profit or any of its officers,
<br /> agents or employees.
