Uniform Guidance Corrective Action Plan Year ended June 30, 2023 Federal Finding #2023-001 Returns of Title IV funds are required to be deposited or transferred into the student financial assistance account or electronic fund transfers initiated to the Department of Education as soon as possible, but no later than 45 days after the date the institution determines the student withdrew. Quinnipiac University agrees with the finding. For one student who withdrew during the 2022 – 2023 academic year, the Pell funds awarded to that student were not returned to the student financial assistance account within 45 days after the University determined the student withdrew. As a result of this finding, Management has implemented additional steps within the reconciliation process of Title IV awards in order to prioritize the return of any unearned Title IV awards so that they are remitted to the student financial assistance account in a timely manner. If the Office of Management and Budget have questions regarding this plan, please reach out to Stephen Allegretto, the Associate Vice President for Finance and Controller, who is responsible for ensuring this corrective action plan is implemented, at 203-582-7962.

Acknowledgment of Finding: Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative acknowledges the audit finding regarding the internal control over costs to be submitted for reimbursement. Cause and Intent: The clerical errors leading to this discrepancy were unintended and stemmed from the retrospective review and abundance of invoices related prior to receiving the grant contract. Much of this project covered within the grant contract was completed prior to receipt of the contract. These errors were solely attributable to clerical oversight and had no intentional misrepresentation or malpractice. The retrospective nature of gathering a substantial volume of invoices over an extended period resulted in inadvertent mistakes in cost allocation. Corrective Action Taken: In response to the audit finding, Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative has taken corrective action. This includes: a. Review and Rectification- Once an amount was identified, a review of all invoices and related documentation has been conducted to identify and rectify any clerical inaccuracies that could have resulted in ineligible costs. b. Reconciliation and Adjustment- Misallocated costs identified during the review have been excluded. c. Enhanced Controls- Strengthened controls and oversight measures have been implemented within the reimbursement preparation process to prevent future errors. Mitigating Measures: While the errors resulted in a misallocation of costs, the overall financial impact on the grant reimbursement remains mitigated. The corrective actions taken promptly rectified the issues, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and the accurate allocation of costs related to the project. Commitment to Continuous Improvement: Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance and integrity in financial reporting. The Cooperative is dedicated to ongoing training, process and procedure improvements and strengthen controls to prevent future errors. Timeline and Accountability: The corrective action plan is anticipated to be effective within the next fiscal year. The Cooperative President & CEO is responsible for oversight of organizational policies and procedures.Conclusion: Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative strives for transparency, honesty and integrity within financial reporting and adherence to federal guidelines.

Our regular federal awards are being regularly submitted on a monthly basis by our bookkeeper. The finding is related to our newer grants that were awarded WYBILT specfically, and the ESSER III - ARP and were taken on by the business manager. We also had our GEER II award that had delays in cash requests. At different points in the year multiple changes in requirements in what to provide for documentation, caused a delay in doing cash requests. The business manager will work to shorten the amount of time this process takes in the upcoming year. We have fewer grants that will be tracked which will help in getting the time between expenditures and when cash is requested.

Significant Deficiency 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.

These projects will have an anticipated completion date of June 30, 2027. With the combination of the $281,692.91 of billing and the $706,000.00 of replacement equipment in the food service department we should spend down the excessive balance. Completion Date: June 30, 2024 Sincerely, Brian Wishard, Superintendent Clinton School District #124

The Hannibal School District received millions of one-time federal grant monies to assist with expenditures incurred as a result of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Although these funds were hugely helpful, minimal guidance was available. This is not a finding that has been presented to us in the past. The school district has received federal and state grants annually that are reconciled to the appropriate project codes and this process will be diligently followed as in prior years. For example, the district was awarded the Immediate Responses Services grant in Fall 2023. The expenditure project codes for this grant have been provided by grant guidance and any and all expenditures will be coded using these expenditures codes. This should prevent any need for future journal entries moving forward. This process is an example of the systematic process that will be followed for all grants.

FINDING NO. 2023-002: Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly, ALN 14.157 Recommendation: The Project should implement procedures to ensure the correct amount is deposited into the replacement reserve account each month.

A new process has been put into place ensuring all unused 9250 funds are reimbursed and a proper description is used to identify the reimbursement vs. funding. If the audit Oversight Agency has questions regarding these plans, please call Christine Harris at 954-835- 9200. Sincerely yours, Christine Harris Accounting Manager
