The current year Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs reported no matters in Section II – Financial Statement Findings and one matter in Section III – Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs. Current year audit findings: 2024-001 Reporting of Draws to UDS Finding Description: Significant Deficiency – Internal Control over Compliance; It was identified that the UDS report submitted for reporting year 2023 was prepared using the accrual basis of accounting instead of the required cash basis. Planned corrective actions: Staff Training and Education: provide training to finance and compliance staff on UDS reporting requirements; require annual refresher training on financial reporting compliance. Review and Reconciliation Procedures: implement an internal review process before UDS report submission to ensure compliance with reporting standards; assign an independent reviewer within the finance team to verify that financial data is recorded on the correct basis before final submission. Internal Control Enhancements: implement periodic internal audits to assess compliance with reporting requirements and accounting standards. Corrective action taken: Upon discovery of this issue, CHCW promptly reviewed the reporting methodology and identified the discrepancy. The finance team corrected this issue for the 2024 UDS report, ensuring that all financial data was reported using the correct cash basis of accounting. Internal controls have been strengthened to prevent future occurrences of similar issues. Completion date: The correction for the 2024 UDS report has been completed. Staff training was conducted January 16, 2025. Review procedures and internal control enhancements have been fully implemented. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Tamiko Wilkens, Controller – Responsible for training and oversight. Desiree Ashbrooks, Chief Financial Officer – Responsible for reviewing and ensuring compliance.

Federal Agency Name: Department of Homeland Security Pass-Through Entity: State of Illinois Office of Emergency Management Federal Financial Assistance Listing #97.036 Program Name: Disaster Grants – Public Assistance Finding Summary: The Cooperative did not retain documentation to support the review and approval over material costs claimed for reimbursement under the program.

The Superintendent of Operations will begin reviewing and approving all material charge out sheets and documenting that review to supplement the review currently being done by the Warehouseman when entering the material charge out sheets prepared by other employees or contractors. Anticipated Completion Date: We believe this corrective action plan can be reasonably incorporated into our internal controls by June 2025 and will make necessary arrangements to ensure that it does get incorporated.

University System Response/Corrective Action Plan North Dakota State University: Agree. North Dakota State University agrees to certify federal payroll expenses in a timely manner. North Dakota State University implemented a new payroll certification system which went live Spring 2024. Previously, North Dakota State University utilized a manual effort reporting process as part of PeopleSoft. The new payroll certification process was built into Novelution Research Management System, which supports multiple aspects of grant management. Novelution allows PIs to review salary information and certify within the software, provides automated reminder emails, and provides a better tracking mechanism for compliance. There has been a learning curve in utilizing the new system, and during FY2025 we continued to refine the process and implement additional mechanisms to improve compliance. University of North Dakota: Agree. In accordance with University of North Dakota’s policy, we will remind pre-reviewers and certifiers of University of North Dakota's requirement for timely certification. As outlined in the policy, we will invoke the consequences for failing to timely certify, including removing uncertified payroll from a project. Contact Person: North Dakota State University: Karin Hegstad, Associate Vice President Finance & Administration University of North Dakota: Lauren Pite, Director Grants & Contracts Anticipated Completion Date: North Dakota State University: June 30, 2025 University of North Dakota: March 31, 2025
