Finding Number: 2024-009 Planned Corrective Action: The district will implement enhanced procedures for monitoring and tracking federal grant expenditures to ensure expenditures do not exceed awarded grant amounts and are properly reported. The Treasurer will review grant agreements, monitor available grant balances on a regular basis, and maintain supporting documentation for all federal expenditures and reporting to ensure compliance with federal requirements and accurate reporting on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. At the time of the creation of this corrective action plan all COVID-19 related grants have been totally expended. The district is required to provide the board, ODEW, and the Financial Planning Commission with monthly monitoring documents. Within these documents is contained a worksheet that requires the treasurer to list each fund balance for all accounts and explain any negative balances and whether a PCR has been created to eliminate negative balances. This policy forces the district to pay close attention to any grant funds that are carrying negative balances. Anticipated Completion Date: 05/31/2026 Responsible Contact Person: Ashley Miller

Corrective Action Planned: Management acknowledges the finding related to the lack of formal documentation maintained evidencing a hindsight review of employee working hours to verify alignment between actual hours. The Effort Reporting requirement is now met with a revamped process that includes an updated institutional effort reporting policy and development of a newly developed effort reporting workflow that aligned with the relatively recent (April 2024) implementation of new ERP system Oracle. This new process applies to those team members who have effort either charged, in-kind or cost-shared, to a grant funded project. The new Effort Reporting workflow formally went live institution wide on 10/1/25, with a pilot implementation done in September 2025. Effort reporting is conducted monthly and requires a preview of all team members with effort allocated to grants from an automated report. Each report is reviewed for accuracy and then each line item is entered into a Smartsheet format for automated delivery of an individual effort report to each team member. A mid-month report is automated to flag and identify upcoming end dates of grant funding in preparation of the next month effort report. This midmonth review is necessary to adjust for any edits needed in preparation for the next month effort report workflow. In addition, the new process allows for follow up with escalation if individual effort report(s) are not signed by respective team member(s) within the prescribed monthly due date.

NAME OF CONTACT: Terri Brown, Director of Finance CORRECTIVE ACTION: Management acknowledges the finding. The delayed submission of the Data Collection Form and reporting package was primarily the result of an extended audit timeline caused by the transition to a new audit firm. In addition, delays associated with the completion of prior audit matters and the new auditor's initial review process contributed to the timing of the final audit report and subsequent FAC submission. Since that time, the Organization has hired a new auditor, improved internal closing procedures, and implemented enhanced monitoring of audit and federal reporting deadlines. Management is committed to timely compliance with all Uniform Guidance reporting requirements and believes these improvements will help prevent future delays. PROPOSED COMPLETION DATE: May 30, 2026

NAME OF CONTACT: Terri Brown, Director of Finance CORRECTIVE ACTION: Management acknowledges the finding; however, it is important to clarify that the circumstances leading to the deficiency were significantly impacted by delated and unresponsive actions from the federal agency. Specifically, the Organization submitted required reports and sought timely guidance and approvals from the federal agency, but responses were not received within the federal deadlines. These delays were outside of the Organization’s control and directly affected the timely reconciliation and finalization of reported amounts. Notably, the federal government has acknowledged delayed reports and there were no findings in their FY24 audit. Management will continue to improve internal controls and documentation practices while also documenting all federal communications and follow-up efforts to document the impact of future federal delays.

The agency proactively enacted rigorous internal controls and systemic enhancements for FY25 to ensure optimal oversight and adherence to federal guidelines. Management has addressed this recommendation by deploying a strict, comprehensive expense request process to ensure robust internal controls over all Other Than Personal Services (OTPS) expenditures. To ensure full compliance with 2 CFR 200.303 and 200.403, Finance has deployed the following enhancements to our accounts payable workflows: • Strict Electronic Approval Workflow: Finance has established a stringent review and approval protocol that requires direct involvement from Program Directors and Department Heads. All OTPS expenditures are now routed through a formalized electronic workflow, which mandates documented review and secure electronic signatures from authorized leadership prior to any payment processing. • System-Integrated Documentation: The new process strictly requires that all supporting documentation-including invoices, receipts, and evidence of allowability-be provided upfront. These documents are now uploaded and attached directly to the specific transaction within the accounting program, creating a permanent, easily accessible, and audit-ready trail for every federal charge. • Targeted Training and Oversight: To support this modernized workflow, Finance is providing targeted training to all staff responsible for initiating and approving transactions, ensuring a clear understanding of Uniform Guidance requirements. Furthermore, Finance leadership conducts periodic supervisory reviews directly within the accounting system to verify that all electronic approvals are captured and source documents are properly attached.

Management has reviewed the finding, noting the inherent complexity of time allocation in our operational environment. Because our personnel routinely serve multiple clients simultaneously across various federal grants, tracking exact hours per case presents a significant administrative challenge. Furthermore, the delayed receipt of the FY23 audit-delivered post-FY24-precluded the implementation of procedural adjustments during the audited timeframe. To address our operational realities and ensure strict, ongoing adherence to 2 CFR § 200.430, the agency immediately instituted systemic enhancements for FY25. The Organization has transitioned all time tracking to a streamlined, system-driven process within our UKG platform: • Integrated UKG Time Tracking and Approvals: All employees are now required to punch in and out directly through the UKG system, efficiently assigning their actual hours worked to specific program and grant codes to generate functional, after-the-fact timesheets. To further streamline this documentation, the Organization is gradually transitioning our existing supervisory reviews into UKG’s electronic sign-off workflow, which will centralize our approval records and ensure accurate distribution across federal awards.

Management has reviewed the finding and recommendations. We note that this item was identified as a repeat issue primarily due to the timing of the prior year's audit. Because the FY23 findings were delivered after FY24 had already concluded, the Organization did not have the opportunity to incorporate the auditors' feedback during the FY24 audited period. However, the Organization took immediate, proactive steps to deploy enhanced internal controls for FY25 to ensure continuous alignment with federal standards. To ensure strict adherence to 2 CFR § 200.302(a), we are actively implementing a more regular reconciliation process between government grant revenue claimed and actual revenue earned. As a key part of this initiative, the Organization has developed and deployed new internal financial tools designed to incorporate automation into our daily workflows. By utilizing these automated tools-such as standardized templates for recording cash receipts and systematically clearing Accounts Receivable-we have significantly enhanced the accuracy of our data entries and reduced the risk of manual misstatements. Our ongoing objective is to leverage these tools to establish clear, standardized documentation procedures, ensuring that all financial reports and claims are consistently generated from a reconciled general ledger. Management remains fully committed to dedicating the necessary time and resources to mature these financial controls and ensure robust compliance with federal regulations.

Recommendation We recommend DNA formally respond, in detail, to all deficiencies reported in the OIG Report, including Accounting Policies and other Policies such as the Vehicle Use Policy. As the Board needs to formally adopt all revised policies as noted in the OIG Report, we recommend: • DNA provide the Board a redline copy of the changes for each revised policy, • correlate each revised policy to each finding in the OIG report and • provide the Board each related policy section guidance in the LSC Financial Guide. Management Response Corrective Action As of January 15, 2026, our accounting department is short one person and we are supporting accounting staff training needs As of January 15, 2026, management has drafted updates and received acceptance by the OIG to all but one of the policies and procedures referenced in the OIG report. Updated policies, including a revised Accounting Manual and an updated Personnel Manual presented to the Board, the Board Budget & Audit Committee and the Board Executive Committee prior to the June 2, 2025 OIG response deadline. Management acknowledges that during the 2024 audit period the Legal Services Corporation Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a final report on December 2, 2024 noting inadequate accounting policies, practices, and oversight for the period of January 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023. Also, while many of the policies noted in the OIG report have been updated, the policies mentioned in the OIG report have not been reviewed or adopted by the Board. Three primary causes contributed to the deficiencies noted during the period under review by the OIG (January 1, 2022 through April 30, 2023), and before the issuance of the final LSC OIG report in December 2024: • Staffing shortages. For most of the January 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023 review period DNA had three vacancies in our five-person accounting operation. Additionally, our Chief Financial Officer was hired during the middle of the period under review, and even though he has extensive legal services accounting experience, he just started learning about DNA’s organizational structure and accounting practices, and refamiliarizing himself with LSC accounting policies and financial guidelines. • A change in LSC accounting standards applicable to nonprofit LSC funded organizations was implemented during the period under review which made some of our policies and procedures outdated. • Management made a strategic decision to wait for the issuance of the final OIG report to ensure that updates to policies and practices would fully align with the OIG's expectations, rather than implementing piecemeal or interim measures that might have required further revision.

The District acknowledges the material correction of an error to the District’s financial statements. This situation occurred due to a material weakness in internal controls over compliance with federal award requirements for the Education Stabilization Fund (CFDA 84.425U), passed through the Colorado Department of Education, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Specifically, the District lacked adequate segregation of duties over payroll and human resources processes, both of which were performed by a single employee without a secondary review. In addition, the District did not maintain adequate reimbursement request documentation or regularly reconcile ESSER grant expenditures to reimbursement requests, as required under 2 CFR 200.303. These conditions resulted in material audit 60 adjustments, significant audit delays, and the engagement of a third-party accounting firm to reconstruct grant records. Notwithstanding these control deficiencies, the District was in compliance with allowable activities, allowable costs, and cash management requirements, as allowable costs exceeded the amounts requested for reimbursement. Current management has improved procedures related to the oversight of federal grant compliance and payroll processes. The District has engaged a third-party accounting firm and hired new staff to assist with grants reconciliation, reimbursement request preparation, and internal controls over federal awards. A secondary review process has been established for payroll and human resources transactions to ensure that no single employee has unchecked control over these functions. Grant reconciliation responsibilities have been reassigned to incorporate segregation of duties, and a defined schedule for monthly ESSER reconciliations and reimbursement submissions has been implemented. We plan to have all ESSER grant activity fully reconciled, reimbursement documentation complete and available for review, and monthly reconciliation and secondary review procedures operational and documented for all applicable federal grant programs prior to the start of the audit process. Estimated date of implementation of the corrective action plan: June 30, 2026 Person responsible for implementation of the corrective action plan: Dr. Kirk Henwood
