To address this issue identified with nonpayroll employee disbursements, we have implemented a new requirement that all such payments made through payroll must be preceded by a Personnel Action Form. This form must be submitted to HR in advance and signed by the applicable department director and with the HR Director or CFO. This process ensures that all nonpayroll disbursements are properly reviewed and authorized prior to payment. The new procedure has been communicated to relevant staff and integrated into exisiting workflows to ensure compliance and strengthen internal controls moving forward.

To address this issure and ensure timely approval of time sheets, the following corrective actions have been implemented and will be maintained: 1. Recurring Communications on Payroll Deadlines: A structured communication schedule has been developed, through which both HR and the CEO will issue regular notices to staff and payroll supervisors. These communications will serve as timely reminders of payroll approval deadlines and emphasize the importance of compliance. 2. Ongoing Training and Support: Staff and supervisors will continue to receive training to address common barriers to timely approvals. On April 28, 2025, a leadership team training was conducted, which included all payroll supervisors. During this session, the importance of timely time sheet approvals was strongly emphasized. This training is part of our ongoing effors to ensure that all personnel involved in payroll processing understand their responsibilities and are equipped to meet them. 3. Escalation and Accountability: A clear escalation procedure has been established for instances where approvals are not completed by the deadline. Repeated non-compliance will result in disciplinary action, as part of a commitment to maintaining accountability. 4. Internal Processing Buffer: An internal buffer has been integrated into the payroll schedule. This allows additional time for finalizing approvals and ensures payroll can be processed accurately and on time. 5. Mandatory Immediate Action: In cases where time sheet approvals are not completed by the specified deadline, both staff and supervisors will be required to take immediate corrective action. This ensures delays are minimized and payroll operations are not disrupted.

The reconciliation process implemented in Finding 2024-001 includes a formal method of matching drawdowns to allowable expenditures. Each grant will continue to be tracked in a separate cost center and La Casa will document the reconciled expenditures in the general ledger to amounts drawn from each grant. The monthly reconciliation will be reviewed by the CFO to ensure that revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 958-605 and that federal expenditures reported on the SEFA and financial statements comply with 2 CFR §§200.302, 200.303, and 200.305. The CFO will utilize the reconciliations to prepare the SF-425 filings and confirm that cumulative drawdowns reconcile to allowable costs and recorded revenues. All supporting documentation will be retained electronically and included in monthly close procedures.

Finding ref number: 2024-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with federal eligibility and paid lunch equity requirements. Name, address, and telephone of Fife School District contact person: Dany Wanner, Business Services Director 1720 Oak St, Milton, WA 98354 (253) 517-1000 ext 29121 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The Fife School District implemented the following to Ensure Adequate Internal Controls for Compliance with Federal Eligibility: The Business Services team and Nutrition Services staff have conducted a thorough review of the process of monthly paid lunch equity and modified its procedures including developing a checklist for the process to ensure that it is completed in a timely manner, signed/dated and saved both electronically and in hard copy on a shared district server folder. The Fife School District implemented the following to Ensure Adequate Internal Controls for the annual completion of the Paid Lunch Equity Tool. The Business Services team and Nutrition Services staff have conducted a thorough review of the process of completing both the PLE tool and GL 828 reconciliation and modified its procedures to ensure that it is completed, signed and saved both electronically and in hard copy on a shared district server folder. Further, the Business Services team and Nutrition Services staff have developed a checklist for the completion of the tool and the checking of the box that indicates that we will be opting not to increase meal prices, but instead to demonstrate using the GL 828 Reconciliation (signed and dated) that we have sufficient fund balance to offset the paid lunches and not utilize Federal funds, including calendar reminders and a shared Google Drive to hold all related documents and procedures. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: 5/16/2025

Aging Cluster – Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B – Assistance Listing No. 93.044 Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization consider updating its salaries and wages cost allocation methodology and process to reduce the frequency of manual adjustments based on review of individual time records and expense data and maximize the use of automated allocations based on employees’ time and effort records, effective compensation during work periods, and that are calculated in a consistent manner. We also recommend that the Organization maintain contemporaneous documentation supporting all cost allocations. Explanation of Disagreement With Audit Finding: Management does not agree with this finding. LSC program letter 22-5 emphasizes the importance of reconciliations of timekeeping reports with labor costs, distribution report or alternative reports. CLS prioritizes this practice of reconciliation and used it during the last months of 2024 to improve internal controls and minimize potential errors. We do not believe that CLA fully and fairly considered CLS’s thorough and complete reconciliation. A “material weakness” is defined as a deficiency “such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis.” Given that reconciliation is part of our internal control process used to prevent and detect/correct any errors, it should have been fully considered and is unfairly excluded from the review. For this reason, CLS considers that this is not a material weakness as the reconciliation caught and corrected these errors. Finally, the total amount of this finding is very low and should not rise to the level of material weakness. Action Taken in Response to Finding: The Organization will review this finding and current methodology and propose corrections as part of a broader review of its technologies.

Legal Services Corporation Grants – Assistance Listing No. 09.706060 Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization consider updating its salaries, wages, employee benefit, and general expense cost allocation methodology and process to reduce the frequency of manual adjustments based on review of individual time records and expense data and maximize the use of automated allocations based on employees’ time and effort records, effective compensation during work periods, and that are calculated in a consistent manner. We also recommend that the Organization maintain contemporaneous documentation supporting all cost allocations. Explanation of Disagreement With Audit Finding: Management partially agrees with this finding. CLS recognizes manual miscalculations due to human errors but considers that the allocation methodology is correct. CLS is undertaking improvements oriented toward automatization of the process while recognizing that complete automatization is not possible without an expensive and complete overhaul of our systems. Action Taken in Response to Finding: The Organization will review this finding and current methodology and propose corrections as part of a broader review of its technologies.

Legal Services Corporation Grants – Assistance Listing No. 09.706060 Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization consider updating its cost allocation methodology and process to reduce the frequency of manual adjustments based on review of individual time records and expense data and maximize the use of automated allocations that are calculated in a consistent manner that ensure costs are applied uniformly to respective benefited activities, and that are reflective on employees’ time and effort records Explanation of Disagreement With Audit Finding: Management partially agrees with this finding. First, 45 CFR Part 1635 codifies the timekeeping requirement. CLS keeps track of every case and time dedicated by staff in strict compliance with this requirement. Additionally, the distribution of expenses in the general fund, which includes LSC and two other funding sources, represents a fair method and allocation. Regarding the questioned costs, CLS disagrees with the finding of material weakness given the extremely low total dollar value. Action Taken in Response to Finding: The Organization will review this finding and current methodology and propose corrections as part of a broader review of its technologies.
