The excess Food Service fund balance was due to the additional funding received while the school operated the SFSP, SSO and CACFP programs, along with an excess fund balance from the prior year. Our prior year spend down plan included equipment replacement for the High School cafeteria and food service areas. Due to delays with shipping and manufacturing, the equipment wasn?t delivered and paid for until July 2022, after our fiscal year end. Had the equipment been delivered and paid for prior to year-end, the District would not have incurred an excess fund balance.

Identifying Number: 2022-002: Invoice Submitted in Duplication Criteria: Management was responsible for submitting accurate monthly reimbursement requests to the grantor for allowable costs incurred under the grant agreement. Condition: During compliance testing, it was determined that one invoice totaling $6,300 was submitted for reimbursement under the grant twice, in error. Context: An invoice totaling $6,300 was incorrectly submitted for reimbursement under the grant. Cause: The process to prepare monthly reimbursement requests is manual and the invoice was submitted for reimbursement during the month of July 2021 and again in August 2021 in error. Effect: As a result, the System received $6,300 from the grantor for costs that were not supported. Recommendation: Management should notify and refund the grantor for the funds received in duplication. Management should also implement controls to ensure this error does not reoccur. Contact: Michael Turilli, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Management acknowledges the finding and will ensure appropriate review of supporting expenses submitted to the grantor. Management agrees to utilize their ERP system, which eliminates duplicate invoices, when sending future billings to the grantor. An amended report will be filed with the awarding agency, as applicable.

MW 2022-004 Review of Reimbursement Requests and Expenses Recommendation: Review of reimbursement requests and monthly expense submissions should be documented and ensure the completeness and accuracy of the submission. Review of individual payroll and non-payroll expense allowability should be documented. Management Response: Since the prior audit, we implemented several changes which affect the repeated findings. We have already implemented the recommended process for the review of reimbursement requests and monthly expense submissions. These are documented to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the submission. We also implemented the documentation of the review of individual payroll and non-payroll expense allowability. The fiscal year 20-21 audit report was issued on June 30, 2022. The change in the fiscal year resulted in a 12-hour turnaround making it difficult to clear the findings and implement the recommended changes from last year's audit.

Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Condition: Food service claims were not prepared by the District within the 60-day window for November 2021 breakfast meals and December 2021 lunch meals served. The auditor brought to the District?s attention during August 2022 fieldwork. Based on meals served, the November 2021 breakfast claim was calculated to be for $9,665 and the December 2021 lunch claim was calculated as $23,751. Effect: District did not receive reimbursement for meals served during November 2021 for breakfast meals served and December 2021 lunch meals served. Cause: The District did not have proper procedures in place for submitting monthly claims. The District began contracting with a Food Service Management Company starting in 2021-2022. Criteria: Monthly breakfast and lunch reimbursement claims should be made within the 60-day time frame. Procedures should be in place to ensure accurate claims are made timely. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure meals are claimed in compliance with federal requirements and within the 60-day time frame. Response: On January 30, 2023, the District requested a one-time waiver requests with DPI to claim the meals that were previously missed. The November 2021 breakfast claim was for $9,665 and the December 2021 lunch claim was for $23,751. DPI approved payment on the one-time exceptions in February 2023 and payments were made to the District in March 2023.

Condition: There were three Education Stabilization Fund construction projects performed by a contractor. Grant expenditures for the projects totaled $770,436. (ESSER II - $401,545 and ESSER III $368,891). There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contracts and certified payrolls were not received. Questioned Costs: $770,436. Criteria: Wage rate requirements apply to the Education Stabilization Fund when laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors work on construction contracts more than $2,000. Laborers must be paid wages not less than those established for the locality of the project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL). Nonfederal entities shall include in their contracts subject to wage rate requirements a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations. This includes a requirement of the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Cause: The District was not aware that the wage requirement applied to these construction projects. Effect: Potential reimbursement for costs that did not follow the wage rate requirements. Context: The PA, HVAC, and water heater construction projects began in May, June, and September 2021, respectively, before the District was aware of wage rate requirements. After becoming aware of the requirement, there were no further construction projects. Recommendation: Establish controls to comply with wage rate requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund. Response: The District became aware of wage rate requirements after finishing the project. Before bidding any future construction projects more than $2,000, the request for bid and contract will include a prevailing wage rate clause. Certified payrolls will be received for any such contracts. Contact Person: Tim Zacharias Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2023

Finding: During a review by the external auditors of the tally sheets utilized by the clubs for meals served and submitted to the finance department for input into the billing system used by the Department of Education (DOE) for reimbursement, it was discovered that an incorrect number of meals was keyed into the system for one club. The number of meals submitted was higher than what the club had originally reported and resulted in an overpayment received from DOE. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The organization, with oversight from Kay Ridgard, Controller, immediately contacted DOE and let them know of the error. DOE made the corrective adjustment in their system and recovered the overpayment by reducing the upcoming September 2022 payment due to the organization by the amount of the overpayment received. There was a complete review of the internal process used in the billing of DOE for meals for each location. The process for submission for reimbursement is outlined below with changes highlighted: 1. Tally sheets sent from the clubs are reviewed by the Accounts Payable Associate (Procurement Coordinator when hired) to ensure that there are no addition errors. 2. Numbers from the tally sheets are entered into an Excel file to give summary totals for the organization and this is used by the Accounts Payable Associate to input data into the DOE system. 3. The Controller (or Manager) reviews the excel file before the data is input into the DOE system to ensure it accurately reflects the tally sheets. 4. Data is input in the DOE system and reports are generated showing the accepted submission that will be reimbursed. 5. The Controller (or Manager) performs a second review to ensure the submitted data match the previously reviewed Excel file.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN - JUNE 30, 2022 Finding 2022-002: Immaterial Compliance Federal Award Finding This finding is caused by the District?s Food Service Fund?s fund balance being over the USDA?s threshold of 3 months average expenditures. The District is fully aware of this situation and has a spend down plan in place to help alleviate the excess fund balance down to a reasonable level and anticipates the completion date for the corrective action plan be before the end of the 2022-23 fiscal year. The persons responsible for the corrective action are Cathy Kierczynski, the food service director and Katy Xenakis-Makowski, Superintendent. The plan for monitoring adherence is the food service director and business manager will work together to assess where the fund balance is after all of the projects from the spend down plan are completed. Condition: This finding is caused by the District?s Food Service Fund?s fund balance being over the USDA?s threshold of 3 months average expenditures. The USDA requires that the ending balance of the non-profit school food service fund does not exceed three months? average of operating expenses [7 CFR Part 210.14(b)]. Corrective Steps Taken: At this time, the District has a spend down plan in place with the State of Michigan to help alleviate the excess fund balance down to a reasonable level.

Lakewood Public Schools respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Auditor: Maner Costerisan 2425 E. Grand River Avenue, Suite 1 Lansing, MI 48912 Audit Period: Year ended June 30, 2022 District Contact Person: Pam Behling, Director of Finance The finding from the June 30, 2022 schedule of findings and responses are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Finding - Federal Award Findings and Question Costs Finding 2022-001 Considered a significant deficiency Recommendation: The District should implement a budget, as well as the required corrective action plan, for the 2022-2023 school year that will adequately reduce the food service fund balance. Action to be taken: Management agrees with the finding and we are in the process of developing a plan to spend down the food service fund balance. Items being considered is improving outdated equipment and enhancing/expanding health food options. Date of Completion: The District?s spend down plan is anticipated to be completed by June 30, 2024. Kitchen equipment availability is severely limited due to national supply chain delays. The installation of this equipment is also limited based on times when school is not in session. These are the two primary factors why the District anticipates it will take multiple years in-order to complete its spend down plan.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT & FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS 2022-001 Recommend continued evaluation and enhancements to limited segregation of duties over financial reporting Auditor?s recommendations: While the implementation of these additional procedures is of significant importance and an improvement, we would continue to recommend management evaluate additional enhancements and review of established policies and procedures to ensure risks are minimized as best possible (cost benefit) and to levels acceptable by the Board of Trustees. We would recommend management and the Board?s continued evaluation include, but not be limited to the following: ? Organizational and operational structure of the Foundation and the in relationship to the School. (Business Manager lack of segregation of duties). ? Evaluate more formalized budget and actual reporting directly from the computerized financial management system; limiting the use of decentralized creation of summaries and reports, which will allow for more streamlined reporting of activity. ? Recommend posting of payroll activity processed through the third-party payroll provider to the financial management system on a weekly basis, rather than monthly basis. We recommend further streamlining the documentation for each posting thereof into one source document. Additionally, we recommend payroll activity between the third-party payroll provider and the ledger be reconciled and reviewed on a routine basis. ? We recommend evaluation of check signing authority and adopted thresholds for dual signatures ($5,000). Based upon the current year audit, excluding the renovation project costs, the majority of the School?s non-salary expenditures are below the dual signature threshold. ? We recommend evaluation of use of debit card linked to School?s account. While utilized to a limited extent, management should evaluate risks/benefits (debit card direct access to account funds) against other methodologies (i.e., credit card). Management should evaluate with financial institution. ? We recommend procedures addressing reimbursement of expenditures to individuals for credit card purchases (require additional proof of actual payment (i.e., of statement) and be made only after the transaction/event has taken place and proof of attendance). ? We recommend management review adopted policies and procedures surrounding federal award programs and compliance thereto, be enhanced by additional review to OMB Uniform Guidance and the Compliance Supplement to further delineate procedures directly with OMB guidance and the applicable requirements associated with each federal award program the School receives annually. Based upon our conversation with the Business Manager during the current audit, the Board of Trustees is continuing the process of evaluating additional procedure enhancements, and assessments of overall financial operations, inclusive of those involving the Foundation. It is important that this continue as an annual process and be documented accordingly. Management should refer to the federal ?Green Book? and Internal control- Integrated Framework published by COSO in updating and assessments of established internal controls over financial reporting and compliance. Action Taken: The Global Learning Charter Public School Administration and Board of Trustees acknowledge that the limitations present with the segregation of financial duties are the direct result of the size of the school?s financial operation. We have worked diligently to create responsible oversight measures, and while the Board of Trustees remains confident in the increased oversight that was implemented in the previous fiscal year, we will continue to seek ways to enhance our procedures. To this end, GLCPS has already put into place many of the recommendations outlined in the finding including source document reports from Infinite Visions provided to the Board of Trustees, weekly payroll posting, and an enhanced process for reimbursement documentation. Moving forward, GLCPS will also be revising its policies and procedures guide for both federal awards and general operations to review areas where additional checks and balances can be implemented. The Global Learning Charter Public School Foundation will also be reviewing the composition of its Board of Directors with the goal of creating a clear separation in oversight between the School and Foundation.
