2022-003 Lost revenues attributable to coronavirus, as reported in the Period 1 PRF report, were overstated.Responsible Person: Julie O?Neal, Chief Financial OfficerCompletion Date: February 2023Management?s Views:The Provider Relief Reporting for Period 1 was completed in September of 2021. Our audit for FY21 was not finalized until May 2022, at which point we found that our cost report settlement amount ended up swinging due to an error in our interim payment requests from Missouri Medicaid. Going forward, I do not expect this to be a problem as we have remedied our interim wrap payments to be more effective. We will correct the lost revenues calculation on a cumulative basis in your Period 3 and 4 PRF reports.

The salaries charged to the grants were based on budget time, and while significant time was incurred that would be allowable as a direct cost to the grant, the documentation to support that actual time spent was not there.

While the District?s expenditures forthe program are consistent with the March 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021 Period of Performance for thisfederal funding, the Period of Performance on the sub-grant Award was listed as December 10 through December 31,2021. Prior to acceptance, the District informed the pass-through entity that the funds would be used to reimbursecosts incurred during July through October, 2021, and the pass-through entity personnel verbally assured Districtmanagement that this would be acceptable. However, the pass-through entity did not amend the sub-grant awardperiod of performance, resulting in non-compliance with the sub-grant award.Humboldt County School District agrees with the audit finding that this was an isolated instance resulting from aunique situation that arose and was out of the District?s control, and is not the result of a systematic problem.However, the District will follow the recommendation and make every effort to obtain written documentation of anypromised revisions to sub-grant awards prior to expending funds from the pass-through entity in the future.ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE:January 31, 2023

International Institute of Wisconsin, Inc.Single Audit Corrective Action PlanFor the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022AUDIT FINDINGFinding Reference Number: 2022-001Description of Finding: Payroll and related expenses were over allocated to grants.Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence:This letter is in response to the condition set forth on page 34 Item #9, of the IIW 2022 Audit.Paul F. Trebian, President & CEO of IIW as of June 7, 2023, has discussed with IIW?s account and dataspecialist circumstances around the information provided on page 33 for Internal Control over majorprograms. Findings of audit indicate over allocation of FTEs against Type A (state contracts) for$250,000; and Type B (federal contracts) for $62,500.IIW agrees with the findings of the IIW 2022 Audit.Corrective Action:Currently, IIW is conducting an outside objective review of grants/contracts, since August 2022, toconfirm the audit findings for 2022 and combined with the next 2023 regular audit IIW should be able todetermine the exact amounts, any payback through adjustments made by the state for subsequentpayments after errors were made, and the nature of the over allocation of FTE?s.The reason for the need to combine with the next year 2023 audit is that the state and federal fiscal yearbeginning and ending overlap IIW?s fiscal year period.This is an important matter to investigate in an objective manner, so that we can determine a course ofaction to properly address the matter. Once the entire matter has been analyzed, IIW will be able todetermine actions to perform to provide process improvement to prevent over allocation in the future. Asa part of that process, the organization will certainly adopt the audit recommendation that it develop atime and/or activity reporting methodology to adequately document the payroll charges by grant andprogram, and that its cost allocations be reviewed and approved by the executive director.Name of Contact Person:Paul F. Trebian, Ed.D., MBA/TM, MA, BSPresident & CEOInternational Institute of Wisconsinptrebian@iiwisconsin.org414-403-9735 CellCSTProjected Completion DateIIW plans on wrapping up the investigation in a few weeks, and then will have more information tocommunicate following actions to adopt the audit recommendations and reporting methodology.QUESTIONED COSTS1. For each questioned cost, the organization should identify the amount by state financialassistance or award program and the program period.2. If the organization believes a questioned cost is an allowable cost, a statement providingreasons for the organization's position should be included.3. If the cost is questioned because the organization failed to provide the auditors withdocumentation supporting the allowability of the questioned cost, and the documentation subsequentlybecomes available, the organization should provide such documentation as part ofthe submission of the corrective action plan. The organization should describe how the records documentthe allowability of the cost.4. If the organization determines that the questioned costs are unallowable or that the chargescannot be supported, the organization should provide a statement to that effect and remit payment for theunallowable or unsupported costs with the corrective action plan.If the (Office of Policy and Management and/or Oversight Agency) has questions regarding thisPlan, please call Paul F.

The general ledger report that this information was generated from reports the information by department, however the payroll register does not have departmental data. Therefore, the general ledger report was not able to tie to specific department information, but it was able to tie in total.Responsible Individuals: Jennifer Venable, CFOCorrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. The reporting options in the Hospital's legacy payroll system were limited. With the new system implemented in November 2021, the reports are more robust which provide the detail by department by employee.

The Hospital also claimed expenses within "Other PRF Expenses" that were funded by other sources. The Hospital offset these other funding sources in later periods out of the "Other Unreimbursed Expenses". This resulted in the incorrect categorization of expenses on the special report submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for Period 1 which caused the report to be inaccurate.Responsible Individuals: Jennifer Venable, CFOCorrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding.

Corrective Action PlanYear Ended June 30, 2022Finding 2022-001: HEERF ReportingCondition Found:In the review of the quarterly reporting requirement for the student aid portion, the auditors noted the University did not modify its student aid portion reporting to the quarterly requirement, but rather the University provided updates every 45 days from the date of the first student award made. The University subsequently corrected the reporting in late fiscal year 2022 and posted the quarterly reports; however they were not posted timely, as required. In addition, the auditors noted that the University?s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021, reported certain data elements that did not agree with supporting documentation.Recommendation:Given the nature of the pandemic funding, and the evolving guidance of the compliance requirements, the auditors recommended management enhance its process level controls over reporting requirements for HEERF to ensure timely and accurate reporting in accordance with the stated reporting requirements.University of Delaware Corrective Action Plan:The University of Delaware (UD or the University) agrees that the evolving guidance created challenges in maintaining compliance. Controls over reporting requirements are expected to function effectively now that the reporting requirements are finalized.The HEERF reporting guidelines final changes required schools to change student reporting from the 15/30-day requirement to quarterly reporting. UD continued to report on a more frequent basis for student reporting. Having conferred with the Department of Education (the Department) contact, UD was required to go back and add the quarterly reports. The required forms were completed and updated on the website in August 2022.The University?s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021, was submitted in a timely manner. However, the University is required to review and update the reported enrollment and disbursements to students based on a review by the Department. Student Financial Services (SFS) has reviewed the final disbursements as of December 31, 2021, and will only report on those disbursements claimed by students. Unclaimed funds, which have been reallocated to other students, inflated the dollar amount actually provided to students, and will no longer be included. The Department has also provided guidance to the University on the enrollment reporting.
