Condition: During the audit, Wipfli LLP observed during the testing of WIOA participant files that there were missing signed applications for two of the forty sample files selected. It was noted that internal review had identified the missing applications and it was communicated to the program case managers; however, the matter was not resolved prior to the audit. Cause: There was not the necessary follow up internally to verify that the applications were completed and uploaded to the Indiana Career Connect portal by staff of Northeast Indiana Works, Inc. Effect: As a result of the matter noted above, there was a significant deficiency in internal controls over the eligibility compliance requirement. Due to the missing applications in the participant files notes, there exists a possibility of noncompliance in the program. Recommendation: We recommend Northeast Indiana Works, Inc. implement additional controls over the file review process to ensure that deficiencies identified internally are resolved in a timely manner. View of responsible officials: Management agrees with the assessment and has committed to a corrective action plan.
