Condition: Payments for expenditures associated with debt service obligations were expensed to the program but not disbursed to the debt holder. Cause: Internal controls in place did not ensure expenditures recorded met the federal compliance requirements for Allowable Costs/Cost Principles as defined in 2 CFR Part 200.

The new team is committed to enhancing and adhering to internal controls to ensure proper monitoring of policies and procedures. In the event that there are questions about compliance for grants in general, the District will continue to rely on timely guidance from external governmental accounting consultants, the Oregon Department of Revenue, and the Oregon Department of Education. Date of implementation: Immediately and ongoing. If there are any questions regarding this plan, please contact Sam Stegemiller by email at sstegemill@grantspass.k12.or.us or by phone at 541-474-5703.

Recommendations: It is recommended that management update the internal calculation of lost revenues for 2020 and 2021 to deduct the unallowable costs to demonstrate and support that there are no reimbursements for the same expenses or lost revenue. In the event the Medical Center receives a request from the federal agency or another party to audit the use of the funds, the most accurate and up-to-date information should be available. Actions: Henry County Medical Center claimed as COVID expenses for HRSA reporting the cost of additional drugs used in treating COVID patients for reporting periods 1-3. This was based on information received by management at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. It was later learned that Medicare provided additional payments on claims related to patients being treated for COVID. This additional reimbursement was to help offset some of the additional costs incurred by providers. Internal worksheets calculating lost revenue and COVID 19 expenses have been updated to accurately reflect lost revenue and expenses related to COVID 19 patient care. This change had no impact on the accounting for all funds received during the reporting periods.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES 2023-001 - Child Nutrition Cluster - Allowable Activities and Costs/Cost Principles and Reporting Condition During testing of the sponsor claim reimbursement reports, it was found that the District submitted inaccurate meal counts on two monthly reports. Recommendation We recommend that the District review its controls related to monthly reimbursement requests for the Child Nutrition Cluster in order to ensure that accurate meal counts are submitted. Comment on the Finding Recommendation The District is aware of the errors and will continue to strive to improve its processes and controls related to meal counts. Action Taken As of the date of this notice, staff members involved in recording manual meal counts for the Summer Food Service Program and Afterschool Snack Program have undergone training regarding the importance of submitting accurate numbers.

2023-04 Material Weakness: Unallowable costs for the EDA CARES Planning Grant and EDA CARES Revolving Loan Fund, Assistance Listing Number 11.307, were not identified in a timely or accurate manner. This resulted in a material weakness in internal control over compliance pertaining to Activities Allowed/Allowable Costs being reported in the audit reporting package. Recommendation: It was recommended GEODC improve controls over compliance with Activities Allowed/Allowable Costs by accepting federal funding only when staff have or can obtain adequate knowledge of program requirements that will enable them to spend funding in accordance with all federal compliance requirements. Action Taken: GEODC staff are in agreement with the recommendation and will improve internal controls over compliance with Activities Allowed/Allowable Costs by accepting federal funding only when staff have or can obtain adequate knowledge of program requirements that will enable them to spend funding in accordance with all federal compliance requirements.

We recommend that the College implement procedures to ensure that all Gramm Leach Bliley Policies are met and verified by a second individual. Corrective Action. Currently, the College is reviewing the compliance requirements for Gramm Leach Bliley and will amend the current policy to ensure the assessment of apps developed by the institution is covered within the policy.

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
