Reference Number: 2022-001 Audit Finding: Other Compliance Corrective Action: The Public Utilities Department has re-evaluated the internal procedures and practices of maintaining compliance documentation. Third party vendors will no longer serve as an archive for notification documentation. All notification receipts and various forms of verification will be saved in house, on the City of San Diego?s network. As of today, March 28, 2023, once email notifications are sent to customers using an external service provider, the notification confirmations will be immediately archived at the City of San Diego. This affords the City full control and oversight of the verification process for all future noticing. As of today, all available notification verifications from the third-party vendor have been downloaded and saved to the City network for future inquiries. Furthermore, internal controls will be enhanced to ensure notification verification compliance. Upon notification to customers, the Data and Analytics Program Coordinator will oversee the immediate archiving of all confirmations of emails sent to customers using an external service provider. Once complete, the Data and Analytics Program Coordinator will notify the Program Manager, who will in turn, perform a secondary review of all notifications against the verification documentation to ensure accuracy. At this point, a third level of approval will be added, as the Public Utilities Customer Support Deputy Director will provide a final level review. Once complete, these documents will be saved for a minimum of five years, per the City of San Diego?s retention policy. Anticipated Implementation Date: 3/28/23 Contact: Katie Keach, Deputy Director, Public Utilities Department

Finding ref number: 2022-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with wage rate requirements. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Claire Olson, Executive Director of Business Nine Mile Falls School District No. 325/179 10110 W. Charles Road Nine Mile Falls, WA 99026 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The district relied upon experienced contractors during these federally-funded projects to ensure proper contract language was used and to submit weekly certified payroll reports. The two (2) contracts without specific Davis Bacon language both mentioned local prevailing wages, which is higher than federal prevailing wages, so both the contractors and the district thought this was sufficient and would be considered compliant. Future federal projects exceeding $2,000 in federal dollars will include federal language as required by Title 29 CFR, ?5.5. The district has created a project tracking sheet which contains the following information: project location, project description, funding source, estimated contract amount, date of award, awarded contractor, SAM verification date, intent and affidavit numbers and dates, subcontractor information, and certified payroll verification for weeks work completed. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: These changes were implemented immediately.

FY 2022 Corrective Action Plan Audit Firm: RSM US LLP 30 South Wacker Drive, Suite 3300 Chicago, IL 60606 Audit Period: 07/01/2021 ? 06/30/2022 Contract Number: FCSAK05984 Award Year: 2021 ? 2022 Comments on Findings and Recommendations: Finding 2022-001?Budget Based Salary Allocation (Compliance and Control Finding)? The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago (the Federation) allocated staff salaries to the federal program based on budget estimates, which alone does not qualify as support for charges to federal awards. The Federation allocated one employees? salary to the program based on a budgeted rate. All other employees have 100% of their salaries allocated to the program. 2 CFR 200.430(i) Standards for Documentation of Personnel Expenses (1) Charges to federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. These records must be supported by a system of internal control which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable, and properly allocated. Budget estimates (i.e., estimates determined before the services are performed) alone do not qualify as support for charges to federal awards, but may be used for interim accounting purposes, provided that the non-federal entity's system of internal controls includes processes to review after-the-fact interim charges made to a federal award based on budget estimates. All necessary adjustment must be made such that the final amount charged to the federal award is accurate, allowable, and properly allocated. Action Taken?As the Federation does not have processes and controls in place for federal program time tracking, the Federation will only allocate staff to the program that spend 100% of their time on the program starting July 1, 2022. The required corrective action for Finding 2022-001 for the period 07/01/2021 ? 06/30/2022 was completed on July 1, 2022.

Finding 2022-002: Information on the Federal Program: 84.425F-Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund - institutional Portion Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency Criteria: The objective of the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) program is to use HEERF grant funds to "prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus" through grants to eligible institutions. There are three components to reporting for HEERF: (1) public reporting on the (a)(l) Student Aid Portion; (2) public reporting on the (a)(!) Institutional Portion, (a)(2) and (a)(3) programs, as applicable; and (3) the annual report. Beginning on May 6, 2020, U.S .. Department of Education (ED) required institutions that received a HEERF I 8004(a)(l) Student Aid Portion award to publicly post certain information on their website no later than 30 days after award, and update that information every 45 days thereafter (by posting a new report). This was announced through an electronic announcement (EA). On August 31, 2020, ED revised the EA by decreasing the frequency of reporting after the initial 30-day period from every 45 days thereafter to every calendar quarter. Grantees posting a 45-day report on or after August 31, 2020, should instead post a report every calendar qua1ter, with the first calendar quarter repo1t due by October 10, 2020, and covering the period from after their last 45-day or 30-day report through the end of the calendar quarter on September 30, 2020. 42 Sections I 8004(a)(l) Institutional Portion, (a)(2), and (a)(3) Quarterly Public Reporting must be conspicuously posted on the institution's primary website on the same page the reports of the Institution of Higher Education (IHE)'s activities as to the emergency financial aid grants to students made with funds from the IHE' s al location under Section 18004( a)( I) of the CARES Act (Student Aid Portion) are posted. A new, separate form must be posted covering each quarterly reporting period (September 30, December 31, March 31, June 30), concluding after either (1) posting the quarterly report ending September 30, 2022, or (2) when an institution has expended and liquidated all (a)(l) Institutional Portion, (a)(2), and (a)(3) funds and checks the "final report" box. IHEs must post this quarterly report form no later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter (October I 0, January I 0, April l 0, July I 0) apa1t from the first report, which is due October 30, 2020. In addition, repo1ting requirements to ED state that the institutional portion of HEERF is reported by Quarter and should not be cumulative. Condition: Jacksonville College did not post the quarterly report for Quarter 1 ending on March 31, 2022 for the institutional portions that were expended. The institutional quarterly reports for the quarters ending June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022 contained amounts that were inconsistent with the amount of funds expended. Context: Management's review control over its reporting requirements for HEERF was not operating at a level of precision to ensure accurate reporting. As such, certain data reported on HEERF was not accurate or timely. Questioned Costs: $0 Cause: The College did not properly review the reporting requirements or grant expenditures in a timely manner. Effect or Potential Effect: Jacksonville College did not report correct amounts to the Department of Education. Repeat Finding: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: The College should develop written procedures for posting the quarterly reports to the College webpage in a timely manner. In addition, the College should implement procedures to periodically review expend itures for grant requirements and reconcile the grant expenditures to the quarterly reports. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: This deficiency was due to the transition of key personnel during the period that COVID reporting was required. All reports have been corrected with the final report being checked appropriately and posted to the website. Many of these adjustments were due to extensive discounts that were awarded to students, keeping in line with our mission as a faith-based college. Future issues of non-compliance will be prevented by providing retention incentives for current employees while also requiring more careful documentation of the reporting requirements for special programs such as HEERF. This will create a list of written policies that will be maintained 43 on the prope1ty. Finally, cross-training will ensure that all personnel have someone trained in case of a vacancy.

SAU 58 had a big transition our office with the replacement of all three of our accounting positions; Business Manager, Payroll/HR and Accounts Payable & Grants. The Accounts Payable position was then vacated for a second time and we found a new replacement in Jan 2022. During this transition period the Time and Effort for two positions that were grant funded, was overlooked. We did provide documentation of payroll from Payroll/HR but did not get the signature of the teacher or other staff member on the Certification form. Typically, we would have been able to rectify the omission but the employees had both left our district at the end of the school year. The Business manager is ultimately responsible for the implementing of the process and internal controls and will follow up with the Accounts Payable clerk to be sure each month all documentation is on file. Since the new AP person came on, she has implemented a spreadsheet to track each employee paid by Federal Funding. This way we know who has submitted their certification, and at what point we are at during the year. We will be looking at electronic documents in the future for easier tracking and getting signatures on certification documents but as of now the spreadsheet has made this process much easier to track and be sure we do not miss documents. If a big transition happens again the Accounts Payable Clerk will be responsible for all grant compliance paper work. The Business Manager will oversee this process. The above processes and procedures have already been implemented and the Business Manager will follow up monthly with the Accounts Payable clerk.
