If unable to confirm reimbursement within 30 calendar days, no disbursement will be made for business activities until reimbursement is certain to occur within the established 30-day timeframe.

Management’s response - In response to the finding indicated in the governance letter, management recognizes that the physical work performed for this expense occurred in FY23, but this is also an ongoing project and the period of performance for the ARP ESSER grant ends on 9/30/2024 not 6/30/23.

Management’s response - In response to the finding indicated in the governance letter, management recognizes that the physical work performed for this expense occurred in FY23, but this is also an ongoing project and the period of performance for the ARP ESSER grant ends on 9/30/2024 not 6/30/23. Therefore, Management believes their interpretation is also correct. All federal and state grants with a period of performance ending 6/30/23 were accrued back to FY23 ensuring payments and receipts activities were in the correct time frame. Final reimbursement was requested, and the grants were closed out. The implementation of our new financial system also added an extra layer of complexity to our end of year accounting. Work in 2 different systems that do not work cohesively with each other was very challenging. We respect and appreciate the work of our auditors and understand that at times we will disagree and interpret things differently, which is what happened in regard to the expense for the HVAC project surrounding the "period of performance" language.

2023-002 Child Nutrition Cluster Recommendation: We recommend that fund balances should be monitored to ensure that balances remain in line with child nutrition compliance requirements. Action Taken: The district has in FY24 allocated much of the funds in excess from the child nutrition cluster to invest in equipment. We have to date, spent the funds down on Freezers, cafeteria tables, coolers, and other such equipment as is allowable for the funds. After speaking with food and nutrition services at DESE, we understand that this surplus comes from the state reimbursements being higher during COVID than what they are post covid. Meaning the rate we were getting reimbursed for free/reduced was higher than the cost, which built the surplus. We are confident that this excess is going to continue being dwindled down, now that our reimbursements are less than the cost of the 3rd party vendors charges to us. However, we are not allowed to use it on unpaid lunch balances, so we have to continue running that surplus for at least another year. This excess is going to start coming down on its own through necessary investments in infrastructure. Completion Date: June 30, 2024 Sincerely, Caleb Petet, Superintendent Marshall Public Schools

Corrective Action Planned: In September of 2022, the Chief Financial Officer left the health center, and a replacement was not hired until a month (February 20, 2023) before the end of the fiscal year on March 31, 2023. While the accounting staff have been with the health center for more than three years, they lacked guidance while the search for a replacement Chief Financial Officer was going on. The Chief Financial Officer who left the health center was the only one who was handling and administering the indirect cost rate to Federal grants but when he left the accounting staff had no clue that the new indirect cost rate needed to be administered. The new Chief Financial Officer has experience in the use and application of indirect cost rates and has cross trained the Controller in the use and application of indirect cost rates. This finding will never reoccur in future. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Frackson Sakala Anticipated Completion Date: 12/31/2023

2023-004 Internal Controls over Compliance of Federal Awards (Education Stabilization Fund 84.425) Condition: 1) During testing of compliance over disbursements, we noted the following: a. Eight (8) transactions totaling $474,924 appeared to be for capital purchases that did not have prior approval by the SEA b. Six (6) transactions totaling $52,117 were incurred where the District appeared to be subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements but no documentation was retained. Additionally, a formal policy for complying with Davis-Bacon requirements is not in place for individual expenditures less than $25,000. 2) During testing of compliance over reporting, we noted the following: a. Expenditure reports were completed based on budgeted amounts rather than actual expenditures. In total, expenditure reports exceeded amounts reported in the District’s general ledger by $726,653. Plan: The District will appoint an individual that is knowledgeable, or provide the appropriate training, of the federal compliance requirements set forth in the Code of Federal Regulation to oversee the District’s federal programs to ensure the District is in compliance with all applicable federal compliance requirements.

Corrective Action Plan Finding Reference 2023-001 Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: Matt Morgan, Assistant Director Sponsored Programs Administration Post-Award Anticipated Completion Date: November 1, 2023 Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The RI concurs with the finding above and acknowledges that we drew down advance payments to cover encumbered costs rather than paid expenses, which resulted in retaining cash for more than 30 days. This approach was erroneous and did not account for the possibility of encumbrances remaining open for greater than 30 days. In response to the above issue, we have developed new processes to ensure our cash drawdowns align appropriately to reimburse expenses and prevent cash on hand: Rather than accept advance payments, we will use preferred method of reimbursement to draw down funds. Training for staff on cash management policy for Department of Commerce and Uniform Guidance Assistant Director for SPA Post-Award will review award setup and LOC draw terms to ensure no advance payments are being drawn down.
