2023-03 Material Weakness: Questioned const were identified within the EDA CARES Planning grant and EDA CARES RLF, Assistance Listing 11.307, $131,986 and $30,865, respectively. $131,986 and $30,865 of federal funds remained unspent at the end of the grant periods and were transferred to the general fund under the assumption unspent funds could be spent in any manner. The result was a questioned cost of $162,851 and a compliance violation of requirements pertaining to Activities Allowed/Allowable Costs being reported in the audit reporting package. Recommendation: It was recommended $131,986 of federal funding be returned to the US Department of Commerce and $30,865 returned to the EDA CARES revolving loan fund cash balance. Action Taken: GEODC staff agreed with the finding and completed the recommended steps after the issue was identified in the annual audit but before the date of the audit report.

As noted within the portal filing summary for the general reporting period 5, the Corporation’s consolidated cumulative lost revenues totaled $141,363,926. Through the period 5 report, $99,467,570 cumulatively, had been applied to lost revenues to date, leaving $41,896,356 in unreimbursed lost revenues. As a result, there were sufficient qualifying lost revenues to receive and earn all PRF funds received, regardless of the reporting error identified and described in the “Finding” section above. Therefore, management believes no repayment of PRF funds received would be required. Management is implementing a process to add additional review steps prior to finalizing future reporting submissions, if required. As of the date of this letter, PeaceHealth Networks has reported on all PRF funds received and has no future portal reporting obligations. Corrective Action Plan Completion Date: October 15, 2023

Finding: 2023-002: Questioned Cost – Material Weakness Costs for US Department of Transportation, Mobility Management Grant 20.507 Section 5307 included a $30,000 charge for use of the Data Management System (DMS). The charge is based on a contract rate charged to outside entities that varies depending on the number of users. Management stated the charge was to recoup costs for use of the DMS. Costs for the DMS consist of historical costs to get the system functioning, along with current personnel costs to operate the system and provide the contracted training. The historical costs occurred outside the period of performance and are thus unallowable. Personnel costs are already being charged to the grant through the allocated payroll and benefits of trainers and other personnel, and thus should not also be charged through the contract rate. In addition, if the contract rate includes a profit component this would also be unallowable to charge to the grant. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that costs charged to federal grants be reviewed by an individual familiar with the Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations contained in 2 CFR, Section 200 as part of the SEFA review process. Contact Person Responsible for the Corrective Action: Lisa Cappellari, Chief Financial Officer, LisaC@paratransit.org Management Response and Corrective Action Plan: After the end of Fiscal Year 23-24 on 6/30/2024, Jody Wadley, Finance and Grants Manager, and Lisa Cappellari, Chief Financial Officer, will compile all expense to be charged to any federal grants. Tiffani Scott, Chief Executive Officer, will review the expense against the Cost Principles for Nonprofit Organizations contained in 2 CFR, Section 200 to make sure all expense is eligible.

2023-001 – Cost of Attendance Calculation. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. Two students out of the 40 tested had an incorrect COA recorded in PowerFAIDS. The error was isolated to the population of students enrolled half-time at the College. The College determined that they did not properly update COA for the year. Subsequent to initial testing, the College adjusted the COA for the half-time students whose COA was not updated for the year. This condition did not result in any students being awarded an incorrect amount of Pell. As a result of this condition, the College was exposed to an increased risk that incorrect information would be used to determine students' Pell Grant award amounts. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College implement procedures to ensure the COA used to calculate each student's Pell Grant is updated for each academic year and reviewed by an independent official. Corrective Action. The College will evaluate and implement controls that will ensure Pell Grant Budget Cost of Attendance requirements are met. The Financial Aid Office will determine Cost of Attendance budget component amounts and School Administration will approve these amounts prior to the financial aid system and school website being updated accordingly each academic year. Responsible Party. Financial Aid Office and School Administration. Anticipated Completion Date. September 27, 2023

Description of Finding: The District charged prior period wages and associated payroll costs to the High School Equivalency Program award. While the costs are allowable and within the grant period, a waiver from the federal agency allowing prior-year costs was not obtained. This results in a questioned cost of $35,844. Statement of Concurrence: The District agrees with this finding. Corrective Action: We have communicated with the federal agency overseeing this grant, and have requested approval and a documented waiver. This is currently being reviewed by the agency. We believe that these questioned costs are allowable and in line with the requirements of the grant. If the requested waiver is denied, the District will utilize alternative funding to cover the questioned costs. Projected Completion Date: We expect this matter to be resolved by the end of January 2024.

Condition: A sample of 118 payroll-related expenditures were randomly selected for testing using a random sampling approach, of which included a total of 37 district employees paid & claimed under this grant. These payroll-related expenditures were reviewed to determine if appropriate internal controls were implemented and applicable compliance requirements were met. Upon completing this testing, we noted the following discrepancies: -There were 4 employee salary & benefits claimed that were not included in the 22-4998-E3 grant budget detail. The budget specified teachers & paraprofessionals, and support staff were not included, resulting in known questioned costs of $4,857.50. -There were 11 employees where a portion of the claimed payroll & benefits were deemed allowable per the budget but $8,947.88 was deemed not allowable, resulting in known questioned costs of $8,947.88. -Additionally, there were $6,686.25 of the employee salary & benefits that was not deemed allowable per the budget as the pay period dates did not align with “loss of learning” related pay dates or other approved activities. Plan: The District will review its policies and procedures to ensure that potential expenditures are approved are deemed to be allowable before spending federal funds. In addition, the District will consider implementing a monitoring process to ensure that control procedures are being followed. Anticipated Date of Completion: 6/30/2024 Name of Contact Person: Dr. Dwayne E. Evans, Superintendent of Schools Management Response: The District is currently strengthening internal control procedures over grant reporting and monitoring.

Corrective Action to be Taken for Finding 2023-001 - Food Purchases o The practice of purchasing food will be to have the Caseworker for each case take the family shopping to Giant Foods, where there is a Catholic Charities account. The Caseworker should shop with the family and then after the purchase is completed the clients signs the required RF-35 documentation and the receipt is then given to the Program Director to pay within the accounting software. A copy of the signed RF-35 and receipt will be made available for the client case file and for the Fiscal department for billing purposes. o If the option of shopping at Giant Foods is not available due to dietary restrictions or culture requirements, gift cards to these specific grocery stores will be made using a Catholic Charities credit card. The gift card will be given to the family for them to sign the appropriate RF-35. The Caseworker will then take the family shopping to ensure clients spend funds on federally approved food items. A copy of the receipt for the gift card purchases and the signed RF-35 as well will be made available for the client case file and for the Fiscal department for billing purposes. - Rent Payments o The practice will be to have a lease from the Landlord to issue a check for security deposit and rent. On the day of move in, the lease will be signed by the client, the RF-35 will be signed, and then the check will be released to the Landlord. Once the lease is signed, a copy of the lease and the signed RF-35 will be made available for the client case file and for the Fiscal department for billing purposes. o The practice when a client is going to be living with their US-tie is that a letter of agreement between the case’s primary applicant and the US-tie will be established explaining the amount the client is responsible for paying for rent and utilities. That agreement will then be signed by the client, the US-tie, and will be witnessed by a third party (Caseworker, Program Director, Operations Director). That agreement will then be utilized as the documentation for requesting rent payments on behalf of the client along with the signed RF-35. A copy of this agreement and signed RF-35s will be made available for the client case file and for the Fiscal department for billing purposes. o The practice when two unrelated clients are going to be living together is as follows: all appropriate required documentation establishing the responsibilities between the two clients will be established. The lease and all agreements will then be signed and will be witnessed by a third party (Caseworker, Program Director, Operations Director). The lease and signed agreement will then be utilized as the documentation for requesting rent payments on behalf of the clients along with the signed RF-35s for each case. A copy of the lease, this agreement, the signed RF-35s will be made available for each of the clients’ case files and for the Fiscal department for billing purposes. o Rent payments made after the initial payment will be made in the amount of the client’s rent according to the lease and will be accompanied by a signed RF-35. A copy of each signed RF-35 will be made available for the client case file and for the Fiscal department for billing purposes. - Utilities o Educate the clients to turn utility bills into the Caseworker and have the client sign a RF-35 in the amount of the utility bill. The Caseworker then gives the utility bill to the Program Director to enter the invoice into the accounting software for payment. A copy of the utility bill and the signed RF-35 will be made available for the client case file and for the Fiscal department for billing purposes. o If the Landlord pays the utilities and seeks reimbursement, the landlord will provide a copy of an invoice for the client to turn into the Caseworker and have the client sign a RF-35 for the amount of the utility bill. The Caseworker then gives the invoice to the Program Director to enter the invoice into the accounting software for payment. A copy of the invoice and the signed RF-35 will be made available for the client case file and for the Fiscal department for billing purposes.
