Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions - Management concurs an increased transaction volume has slowed the implantation of procedural changes. However, this finding applied to an immaterial amount. All other requested support was provided to the auditors in full. As management noted in their response to Finding 2022-003, transaction volume continues to increase. The new accounting firm will assess current controls and protocols necessary to obtain and retain documentation necessary for all expenditures, both material and immaterial. Any changes needed to these controls will be implemented.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions - Management recognizes the overall volume of transactions the Organization continues to grow each year and it being one of the reasons this is a repeat finding. The questioned costs were immaterial. While improvements were made during the year, the internal recordkeeping controls and protocols will continue to be reviewed with the new accounting service provider and improved measures implemented.

Condition: Administrative costs are submitted to the state monthly for reimbursement on the Record of Expenditures under the TEFAP Financial Assistance form ("FD-32D"). The State reimburses the Organization for administrative costs as determined by the state on a monthly basis. Typically, the monthly reimbursement amount is significantly less than the actual amount of allowed administrative expenses incurred by the Organization. During our procedures, we noted that certain expenditures, amounting to approximately $3,290, which were included on the FD-32D of which supporting documentation the Organization is required to retain under 2 CFR part 200 was lacking. As such, we could verify these costs related to activities allowed for reimbursement under 2 CFR part 200. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: We agree with the auditor's comments and the following action will be taken to improve this situation. The Finance and Administration Manager and the Director of Logistics, who prepare the FD-32D, will work together to ensure that all supporting documentation is retained for all allowable expenses monthly. The corrective actions will be implemented by July 1, 2023.

The Agency recognizes this finding and notes that this occurrence resulted from additional emergency additional funding provided by funders in a different payment structure than other grants received.

Finding 2022-003 - U.S. Department of Education {USDE), Education Stabilization Fund (ESF) Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) (Material Weakness): We observed the following during our testing of compliance with HEERF expenditures: (a) Four (4) employees were paid bonuses totaling $21,000 which are unallowable costs under the HEERF program. (b) Two (2) expenditures totaling $43,265 were missing the competitive bidding or explanation of selection for the contractor. (c) One (1) disbursement package totaling $1,300 was not provided. (d) The College erroneously recorded $7,550 in expenditures to HEERF that were for operations and another grant. College proposed an entry to reclass the expenditures; however, these amounts were included in the drawdown requests made during the year. Recommendation - We recommend that the College review the HEERF funding requirements and ensure all staff members ore familiar with the requirements to avoid incurring a liability to the U.S. Department of Education for non-compliance. Measures should be taken to specifically remedy the above findings. Corrective Action - Management will implement procedures to properly review HEERF expenditure! and ensure proper compliance for exclusion on unallowable costs, presence of proper documen tation of expenditures, including inclusion of competitive bids. Management will also implemenl procedures to ensure proper entry and review of the classificationof grant expenditures.

November 1, 2022 To: Christina Schaub, RPC Audit Partner SUBJECT: CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Farwell Area Schools has a finding 2022-00 1 ? Activities Allowed/Allowable Costs under Section III ? Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs. The program name is ALN 84.425 Education Stabilization Fund, ESSER TI-Formula contains a Material Weakness in Internal Control/Non-Compliance. During the testing of the amounts charged to the grant it was noted that payments were charged to the grant but were not authorized by the grant.

The Corrective Action Plan for Farwell Area Schools will be to review all grant agreements to gain a more thorough understanding of allowable expenses. Farwell Area Schools will modify our internal controls to include a step that all expenses charged to the grant have to be in the grant or it cannot be paid. We will also include a step to verify that amendments to the grant have been submitted for approval and verify this monthly. This corrective action plan will be implemented today, November 1, 2022.
