2022-003 Reporting Condition: A total of five reports were selected for testing, including one annual report, two quarterly reports related to the Student Portion and two quarterly reports related to the Institutional Portion. Of these five reports: 1. All reports lacked evidence of proper review and approval by authorized individuals before submission of the report to the ED. 2. The Quarterly Student report for the period ended March 31, 2022 was not submitted in a timely manner. 3. The Quarterly Institutional report for the period ended September 30, 2021 was not submitted in a timely manner. 4. The Quarterly Institutional report for the period ended March 31, 2022 was not submitted in a timely manner. Correction: With respect to item #1, internal controls will be implemented for a second review of all quarterly reports by a member of the business office to verify accuracy before being submitted to the Department of Education and uploaded to the EWC website. This correction is being offered for a second year in a row due to the timing of when the FY21 audit was completed. The FY21 audit was completed August 17, 2022, which was more than 8 months past the normal completion time frame due to the cyber event that occurred in June 2021. Items #2-4 reference reports that were not reported in a timely manner. Reminders in the calendar have been created to ensure completion of the reports. Information has also been shared with the College webmaster as to when reports need to be uploaded for timely submissions. Internal controls will be used to verify accuracy of data with the financial aid office, but also a final review that shows actual submission of the reports to the Department of Education and to the EWC website. This correction is being offered for a second year in a row due to the timing of when the FY21 audit was completed. The FY21 audit was completed August 17, 2022, which was more than 8 months past the normal completion time frame due to the cyber event that occurred in June 2021.

2022-001 Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Federal program information: Funding agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Title: Emergency Rental Assistance Program Assistance Listing number: 21.023 Award year: 2022 Condition: Pursuant to our testing of disbursements and internal controls over disbursements, Wipfli LLP noted the following control deficiency and noncompliance: Eight of the 42 cash disbursements selected for testing were incorrect. These all related to utility payments, where the current portion due was paid out twice. The Authority submitted the same cost twice for reimbursement totaling $691 of the invoices tested. From our sample of 42 disbursements, we examined 8 utility payments consisting of $7,689. Total utility payments for the grant were $283,105. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Recommendation: Wipfli recommends the Authority provide proper training and supervision over employees responsible for cash disbursements to ensure federal grant expenditures are allowable. Corrective Action Plan: CHA is in the process of restructuring our Finance department. In this process we will be updating our finance policies to stress/identify our areas of material weakness so they align and address our current audit findings and to eliminate any future findings. We will be transferring job titles and duties with current in-house personnel that clearly states job functions and responsibilities that best fits each staff persons unique skill set and aptitude. Once restructuring of our Finance department is completed (30-60 days) moving forward this will address our areas of material weakness.

Finding 2022-003 ? Allowable Costs (Significant Deficiency and Non-compliance) Corrective Action: The ARPA?s stated purpose is for housing provision, stabilization services, and eviction prevention. The rental assistance funds may be used for arrearage, forward payments, deposits, late fees, and utilities. The grant provides separate application forms for rental assistance and utilities assistance. The grant does not require maximizing the amount paid on behalf of applicants. Every disbursement involves obtaining documents from the applicant and the landlord. The landlord signs an agreement stating they will allow the client to remain housed by accepting the payment. It is common to negotiate the agreed upon amount because some landlords include fees in their amounts that are not allowable under the grant or ask for more months of assistance that is allowed. The disbursements tested included agreements that were all signed and accepted by the landlords. LSA documented the costs which were reimbursed by the funder. One of the payments included a document that had not been updated. The payment included an additional month?s rent due to the time lag between the start of the application and the completed documents and the revised total amount was included on the signed landlord agreement. In this case, the agreement did not include an additional late fee that would have been expected per the terms of the lease. The landlord accepted the payment less the late fee. LSA staff will document negotiated amounts that are different from the support and provide explanation and the amount included or excluded. A second payment did not include a beginning ledger balance. The landlord charges an insurance fee that is not covered by the grant. Rather than attempting to determine if the balance forward was due to eligible charges or ineligible charges, the amount was excluded from the total. The documentation attached did not specifically mention that the amount was excluded, but a handwritten total of the included charges was included. LSA staff will document negotiated amounts that are different from the support and provide explanation and the amount included or excluded. The third payment was deemed an exception because the reimbursement did not include the client?s utilities charges. Although the charges are eligible under the grant, the applicant and landlord did not request assistance with utilities. LSA staff will document negotiated amounts that are different from the support and provide explanation and the amount included or excluded. Regarding employee time for the program, LSA staff will look for solutions to help prevent time entry errors, and the Finance Department will conduct a review of every grant report. LSA will review if changes can be made in the timekeeping system to restrict certain fund sources from being applied to programs, to enhance controls over time attributed to particular funding. The grant report review will also include a review of program reports when new staff join the program to ensure the time activity is correct and can be allocated as reported. LSA will complete a review of the timekeeping system and procedures by the end of the second quarter 2023 and implement changes by the third quarter of 2023. The grant report review will commence as of the date of this audit report. Contact Person: David Roberson, Director of Finance; (334) 223-0251; droberson@alsp.org

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.

Noncompliance Finding 2022-004 (Net Cash Resources) Federal Program: Child Nutrition Cluster ALN: 10.553, 10.555 Condition: The District?s current net cash resources of $566,723 is in excess of its three months average expenditures of $443,634. Recommendation: We have advised management to resolve the current noncompliance finding by any means necessary that is in compliance with federal regulations. Corrective Action: During the 2021-2022 school year, the USDA extended the universal free breakfast and lunch program for K - 12 students. This greatly impacted the number of meals the District served students. In addition to the increased participation, the subsidy reimbursement rate increased and all meals were subsidized by the Federal government. While serving more meals, our Food Service Department struggled to fully staff operations. The department was understaffed by about seven employees and the department operated with roughly 75 percent of its staffing needs. The combination of additional subsidy revenue and understaffing resulted in the department?s profitability. The District will address the excess net cash resources by further investing in the food service program. First, the District will continue its efforts to attract and retain employees to fully staff the unfilled positions. Hourly rates were increased for both new and existing staff in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. As those positions are filled, the Food Service Department?s average expenditures will increase, which also increases the acceptable level of net cash resources permitted. Additionally, the Food Service Department is planning purchases of additional and replacement equipment for the kitchens, resulting in a decrease in the Fund?s net cash resources. These actions will bring the District?s net cash resources within the acceptable range as set forth in 7 CFR ? 210.19. Person Responsible: Daniel Direso, CPA Proposed Completion Date: April 1, 2023
