Department of Transportation 2022-001 Highway Planning and Construction Cluster? Assistance Listing No. 20.205 Recommendation: We recommend the City implement procedures to ensure that verification documentation for suspension and debarment is maintained to support the City's internal control over compliance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The City?s Procurement Manual requires all vendors to comply with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), specifically 2 CFR Part 200 when the expenditure of Federal funds is anticipated, whether a grant, cooperative agreement or reimbursement of disaster expenses. While the City makes great effort to ensure that vendors are in good standing with the federal government and are not suspended or debarred prior to engaging their services, the City agrees that additional procedures are necessary to better document the verification. Therefore, the City will implement the following procedures when the expenditure of Federal funds is anticipated: ? The City will require project managers (during the bidding process) to verify that all responsible vendors are in good standing with the federal government and are not suspended or debarred. The City will also require that the project managers include documentation of such verification for vendors to be advanced to the next level of the procurement process. Additionally, documentation of the verification of the selected bidder shall be filed and forwarded to the Grant Accountant for their files. ? The Grant Accountant will confirm receipt of verification noted above for each vendor charged to federal grants. If such verification has not been received, they will reach out to the responsible department to obtain such verification. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Jason Williams, Accounting Manager Planned completion date for corrective action plan: 06/30/2023

Condition Found: During audit fieldwork, the auditors spoke to City Staff about the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Loan reimbursements the City had received during FY2022. The question was whether or not the expenditures we asked to be reimbursed for were eligible because the expense was incurred prior to the loan being approved. The expenditures in question had already been reimbursed to the City from the IEPA and were considered eligible expenditures. When the request from the auditors came for the account numbers that the expenditures had been paid out of, City Staff realized that the majority of these older invoices had been paid with proceeds from the 2015 GO Note issuance, and as such were not eligible to be reimbursed by the IEPA. City Staff relayed this discovery to the auditors and recorded an adjustment to reduce the receivable from the IEPA ($260,749.30) that were not eligible. The City has worked with the consultant managing the project at Baxter and Woodman, and the IEPA, to remedy the issue with a reduction to the City's next distribution. The IEPA loan has not been closed out as of this date, allowing for the reduction without significant impact. Corrective Action Plan: Going forward, the Public Works Department will forward the IEPA Loan draw requests to the Finance Department to be reviewed before being submitted to the IEPA for reimbursement. The Finance Department was not included in the draw request prior to this finding. By having the Finance Department review the draw requests, we can ensure that all items submitted for reimbursement are eligible. Staff at Baxter and Woodman, who package invoices for submittal to the IEPA on behalf of the City, will also be reviewing invoices more closely before submittal as an independent verification. Implementation Date: This change is effective immediately and the Finance Department has already started reviewing the next invoices being submitted to the IEPA for reimbursement.

FINDING 2022-004 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Steve Snider, CFO Contact Phone Number: 260-920-1011 Views of Responsible Official: We disagree with the finding. The entire premise of the cooperative agreement and appointing a lead education agency is to have someone providing the services and managing the grants for those districts who participate. Description of Corrective Action Plan: DeKalb County Central United School District will work with the Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative to implement the procedures detailed below. The Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative (NEISEC) Treasurer will reach out to member schools during the writing process of the IDEA 611 and 619 grants in order for each member school to submit their plans for their allocation of proportionate share money. NEISEC will provide the allocation amounts to each cooperative school. These submissions will include a proportionate share budget and include proportionate share staff names and any necessary information for the budget categories. The NEISEC Treasurer will then compile the proportionate share information and include on the grant submission. The LEA Treasurer will be given a copy of the grant application and budget upon approval of the grant. Any NEISEC employee being paid out of proportionate share grant funds for salary and benefits will be paid from the LEA?s financial software. The LEA Treasurer will keep a spreadsheet of employee proportionate share expenses and this spreadsheet will be updated monthly based on time and effort logs that are submitted by all cooperative schools to the LEA and NEISEC. Any employee utilizing proportionate share funds that is not an employee of NEISEC, but rather a direct employee of a member school, will be paid directly by that member school. Time and effort logs will still be submitted to the LEA and NEISEC Treasurers for these employees in order to generate a direct reimbursement from the grant fund to the member school. For any expenses for a category outside of salary and benefits, a member school will need to submit an invoice and proof of purchase for equipment, supplies, etc. to NEISEC and the LEA in order to be directly reimbursed for those proportionate share expenses. If the request was not in the initial grant budget, the member school must submit all relevant information to NEISEC in order for a grant modification to be completed. Per IDOE the grant modification must be approved first prior to purchasing the items. Time and effort logs as well as invoice and proof of payment must be sent to the LEA Treasurer in order to completed the grant reimbursement requests. At the end of the grant period, any school with remaining proportionate share money will be required to complete a waiver. As of this date (2/10/2023) the LEA (DeKalb County Eastern CSD) and NEISEC are still in communication with SBOA and IDOE to review the proportionate share plan and ensure all necessary requirements will be satisfied. Anticipated Completion Date: Changes discussed above will be implemented for the remainder of the FY23 grant period starting 07/01/2023.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action The HPU Financial Aid Office works hard to follow all federal regulations and guidance mandated for the Title IV Federal Student Aid programs. In regards to the distribution of the Federal HEERF fund to HPU students, the HPU Financial Aid Director relied on reports from the SIS (Banner system), Institutional Research, and Accounts Receivable to determine students eligible for HEERF funds. The HPU Financial Aid Office and Office of Sponsored Projects worked hard, and diligently, to award funds to students and expend Institution portion based on the regulations that were provided at the time and not violating the intent of the program, as evidenced by there not being any non-compliance over allowability of costs charged to Federal HEERF fund. For future awards, the Principal Investigator with the assistance of the Office of Sponsored Projects will review diligently the expenditure to be sure the expenditures are within the allowability and terms and conditions of the federal awards. Both offices will work collaboratively so that the internal controls over allowability are strengthened and that the documentation will be strongly implemented and retained. For future programs, the HPU Financial Aid will work to strategically plan, organize, and disburse funds to students and expend Institution funds within the requirements mandated by the United States Department of Education, including strengthening our internal controls over compliance, and increasing the documentation and maintenance of documentation over our existing internal controls for compliance.

Management?s Response: FSA have selected ADP as a third-party payroll services that allows for Human Resource and Payroll to use the same employee information that will be entered by the Human Resource Department and does not had to be replicated by Payroll. This will ensure that all updates in payroll to be updated in real time with no documentation delays.

Management?s Response: In January 2022, during the processing of FSA payroll, the system had a major error that caused for an emergency payroll processing to take place to meet the Labor and Wages standards, so this payroll was processed not knowing that it was paid based on home allocation rather then time sheets allocations. However, the majority of FSA employees were allocated to one department program or grant. Reassigning of location only occur within staffing emergencies within the same program. Due to this occurrence, FSA started to investigated a third-party payroll servicing company that uphold our standard of functional time keeping and allocation and selected ADP. Gross pay information for each employee is extracted from the Payroll Journal and entered into the Labor Distribution. Periodically, time sheet information is entered into the Labor Distribution and percentages developed or functional time which are used to allocate gross pay to each program based on total time worked. The Labor Distribution is used to post the allocated payroll costs to the General Ledger, or billing worksheet, and the related costs then posted to the billing or reporting document.
