Corrective Action Plans

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Department of Human Services Response DHS concurs with the finding. Specifically, the documentation provided to auditors during the audit period did not include a full review of allowable expenditures correlated to the federal draws. During the quarter, indirect costs are estimated and are then adjusted to actual indirect costs when the quarterly cost allocation report is completed. If an overpayment was identified after comparing to the cost allocation report, the next federal draw would be reduced by the overpayment. Due to the timing of the DHS Cost Allocation report and the omittance of the allowable 2022 CNP Block grant expenditures, the expenses were understated for 2023 CNP Block grant resulting in the appearance of a federal overpayment. Following the audit, it was determined DHS DCCECE staff coded 161 transactions totaling direct costs of $1,977,927.62 of allowable expenses for October 2022, November 2022, and March 2023 in the State’s accounting software, AASIS, to the 2022 CNP Block grant when only $505,835.54 federal grant funds were available. The difference of $1,472,092.08 in federal funding was properly drawn from the 2023 CNP Block grant, but AASIS error corrections were not timely submitted to the managerial accounting prior to the close of SFY2023 to ensure the proper allocation of the expenditures. The cost allocation report provided to auditors during the audit period only included the 2023 CNP Block grant AASIS coding and did not include the 2022 CNP Block grant AASIS coding of $1,472,092.08. The remaining difference of $24,186.92 is due to timing of DHS’s Cost Allocation quarterly report that became available July 20th for the June 30th 2023 CNP Block grant expenses. DHS submitted additional documentation to ALA in February 2024 accounting for all allowable expenditures. DHS Managerial Accounting staff have been provided additional cost allocation training and audit response training. Documents responsive to audit requests will be more fully reviewed prior to submission as senior finance management staffing allows. Effective August 1, 2023, DHS DCCECE has transitioned to Arkansas Department of Education (ADE). DHS will continue to work in cooperation and coordination to provide all relevant financial information, documentation, or other items necessary for the administrative functions of DCCECE so as not to disrupt any services. Arkansas Department of Education Response Arkansas Department of Education, Finance unit monitors fund balances in the States’s accounting system, AASIS, at minimum, every other day. The frequency of this process accounts for previous activity in funds or cost centers and pending activity recognized at the time of the review including, but not limited to, upcoming expenses and drawdown requests. ADE procedures ensure the finance unit closely oversees cash on hand, if any, and all necessary drawdowns are completed for immediate use. Additionally, funds associated with the Office of Early Childhood (formerly DCCECE) that were carried to ADE are shown in the cash edit table, allowing the fund to have a negative balance in the State’s accounting system, AASIS. Including funds in the cash edit table supports the agency in preventing excess drawdowns by allowing funds to be received after expenses are processed. ADE is confident this procedure ensures accurate amounts are drawn. Anticipated Completion Date: Department of Human Services Response Complete Arkansas Department of Education Response ADE Finance has implemented the named procedure and continues to monitor cash on hand closely, as the ADE Office of Early Childhood staff, (formerly DHS DCCECE), are trained in this procedure.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Department of Human Services Response DHS concurs with the finding. The Division of Childcare and Early Childhood Education (DCCECE) utilized a custom software platform to provide payment files to the State’s accounting software, AASIS, to issue payments to recipients. Within this software, the AASIS coding for Sponsor Administrative costs is coded to CNP Block Consolidated (ALN 10.555) instead of CNP CACFP Sponsor Administrative (ALN 10.558) for the questioned costs of $98,474.00. Expense error corrections were not received timely by managerial accounting staff prior to the close out of SFY2023. Effective August 1, 2023, the division formerly known as DCCECE at DHS transitioned to the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE). DHS alerted financial staff with ADE in February 2024 to review the custom software platform to ensure grant expenses are being properly coded now. Due to depleted grant funds in CNP CACFP Cash in Lieu (ALN 10.558), the questioned costs of $38,341.68 in grants funds were manually moved by DHS Managerial Accounting staff into the CNP Block Consolidated grant. Managerial accounting staff have been retrained to ensure adequate federal funds are available prior to drawing. If manual adjustments are required, the division’s CFO, or their designee, must review and approve manual adjustments prior to the managerial accounting staff executing manual adjustments. DHS Office of Finance is developing an internal control documenting the prior approval process. DHS will continue to work in cooperation and coordination with ADE to provide all relevant financial information, documentation, or other items necessary for the administrative functions of DCCECE so as not to disrupt any services. Arkansas Department of Education Response The Arkansas Department of Education, Finance unit monitors federal grant awards by using separate cost centers for each program and award year within. This process provides transparent delineation of expenses and revenues within the State’s accounting system, AASIS. Additionally, ADE Finance owns an established procedure to reconcile federal grant awards for each month, within 90 days of the month’s end. The reconciliation procedure accounts for all activity within the grants and ensures data is aligned from the federal drawdown system to the State’s accounting system, AASIS. Anticipated Completion Date: Department of Human Services Response 3/31/2024 Arkansas Department of Education Response The itemized CNP programs are reconciled using ADE procedures as of August 1,2023. ADE ensures the accuracy of data from August 1, 2023, through January 31, 2024.

The contact for this plan is Monica Merchant. The School will implement procedures to establish proper internal controls related to the submission of meal counts to the Child Nutrition Management System effective March 15, 2024, allowing for proper segregation of duties and review prior to submission. Meal Counts will continue to be tracked daily. Monthly participation counts, by meal type and location, will be reviewed and entered on the Child Nutrition Management System by the School’s financial consultant. Prior to submission, these data elements will be reviewed, verified and submitted by the organization’s Data and Special Projects Manager. The addition of a second layer of approval should allow for adequate internal control over monthly meal claims.

FINDING 2023-009 Finding Subject: COVID -19 - Education Stabilization Fund – Cash Management Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal control, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting noncompliance related to the Cash Management compliance requirement. Reimbursement requests for the programs were prepared by an employee and reviewed by another employee. While the School Corporation did have a process in place to review and approve reimbursement requests, not all reimbursement requests were traceable to the fund ledger and no audit evidence was provided to indicate the reviewer verified disbursements to the School Corporation records. Three of five reimbursement requests filed during the audit period were not traceable to the Schools Corporation’s fund ledger. Due to the lack of supporting documentation it was not possible to determine if grant payments were reimbursements of expenditures or advance payment of grant funds. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were systemic issues throughout the audit period. The noncompliance was isolated to three of the five reimbursement requests filed during the audit period.

FINDING 2023-008 Finding Subject: COVID -19 - Education Stabilization Fund – Activities Allowed and Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal control, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting noncompliance related to the Allowable Activities and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles compliance requirements. Reimbursement requests for the programs were prepared by an employee and reviewed by another employee to ensure all costs are correct and allowable before giving their approval. While the School Corporation did have a process in place to review and approve reimbursement requests, not all reimbursement requests were traceable to the Schools Corporation’s fund ledger and no audit evidence was provided to indicate the reviewer verified disbursements to the School Corporation records.

FINDING 2023-005 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) – Period of Performance Summary of Finding: The School Corporation was a member of the Clark County Joint Services Program (Cooperative) during fiscal year 2021-2022. The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls to ensure transactions made from Special Education funds occurred within the appropriate period of performance. Claims for the Special Education programs were paid without an appropriate level of review or oversight to ensure the expenditures charged to each grant were within the allowed time frame. Although the reimbursement requests submitted to the Indiana Department of Education were prepared by the Corporation Treasurer and approved by the Special Education Director, the School was unable to provide tangible audit evidence of this review and approval process, which may have included a review of the costs included on each request to verify they were within the correct period of performance. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Ashley Compton, Director of Special Education and Allison Vanover, Corporation Treasurer Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-246-3375 alcompton@scsc.school avanover@scsc.school Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Silver Creek School Corporation is no longer part of the Special Education Cooperative. The Special Education Director and the Corporation Treasurer have a standing meeting once per month to review expenditures and receipts to prepare a reimbursement. At that time, the period of performance is also checked for accuracy. The Special education director will code initial expenditures to grant appropriation lines and submit to accounts payable specialist. Accounts payable specialist then confirms that the expenditure can be taken from that line in the working grant document for the corresponding grant. Oversight and review of grant allocations and approved totals with grant budgets are reviewed monthly at the time reimbursements are completed. Anticipated Completion Date: March 2024

Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The College was unable to reconcile direct loans with the COD website during fiscal 2023. The College was unable to obtain the COD reports needed for monthly direct loan reconciliations. As a result of this condition, the College isn't meeting its obligation to complete reconciliations of direct loans on a monthly basis and risks overdrawing. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College communicate with other schools to develop a policy for handling matters such as these when having technology issues. Corrective Action. Currently, the College has fixed this error and is now able to pull the correct reports from the COD website. The College intends to perform reconciliations of direct loans on a monthly basis going forward. Responsible Person. Maryann Decaire, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date. June 30, 2024.

GDOL concurs with this finding: Regarding the pandemic Grants noted that were all under #UI34710-20-55-A-13: • The unemployment insurance (UI) Regular Grant typically provides the amount of available grant funds in advance based on 1.) and estimated number of claims to be processed in the current year (based on the average of two years prior activity) and 2.) the average processing times (based on the average of two years prior processing times). • In contrast, many of the pandemic grants are based on actual claims activity with monies being awarded “after the fact” with no consideration given to the aforementioned criteria as no prior- year basis exists. • GDOL experienced delays in some pandemic allocations due to delays in programing and the submission of the new reports for pandemic activities (Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC), Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) and Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA)). All late reports have been submitted and we are reconciling grants as deemed appropriate. • With reimbursement based on pandemic claims activity, there was no clear mechanism for GDOL to be able to “forecast” the amount of time and effort needed to process the cyclical and unpredictable number of pandemic claims. As such, best efforts were made to estimate in this regard. • The 3073 FPUC grant is the only grant for which we have been reimbursed at 100%. However, due to the most recent implementation of stop/gain loss, we are no longer being reimbursed at the full amount. • Regarding the Employment Service/ Wagner-Peyser Funded Grants noted, the program period of performance was July 1, 2022 thru September 30, 2025. GDOL received instructions from USDOL on January 19, 2023 requesting a final ETA-9130 report be submitted by February 15th for grants that were being transferred to TCSG and offered technical assistance in completing the reports. The National office was designated to de-obligate the funds remaining and issue new grant numbers to obligate these funds at TCSG; however, several things occurred that caused the process to be delayed: o The required action was to check box 6 as yes (for the final 9130 reports) and 10g (Federal Share of Unliquidated Obligation) had to be zero although there were Unliquidated Obligations in the system. o Although the Wagner Peyer program was transferred to TCSG in January 2023, eligible costs continued. o The need for expenditure reconciliations was discussed with USDOL Regional Office and anticipated funds were drawn in lieu of billing TCSG. o Associated eligible costs were reconciled to the Wagner Peyser Ledger via manual journal entries in lieu of billing TCSG. o In addition, USDOL implemented a new GrantSolutions to replace its legacy grant processing system, E-Grants. USDOL replaced its legacy E-Grants Grantee Reporting System (GRS) by transitioning to PMS for grant recipients submission of the quarterly ETA-9130 financial reports on February 6,2023. o Although training was taken for this process, the overall reconciliation process was delayed, all reconciling items were resolved by the 9/30/23 reporting period.

There is no disagreement with the audit finding. There were previous receivables from the prior period that were not timely reviewed and overlooked due to an oversight and staff turnover. The Community Action Partnership of Mercer County does not foresee this happening again in the future now that the Programs are under the Community Action Partnership of Mercer County’s accounting software. Employee Responsible for Corrective Action: Michelle Clarke Completion Date: July 1, 2024

There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The Programs was struggling with turnovers and not knowing what entries were allocated correctly. Payables were entered in the accounting software from purchase orders which caused the reports to be inaccurately stated in the amount of $6,239.00. The unexpended funds will be returned to the Department of Health and Human Services to remain in compliance.
