Finding 2022-006 Corrective Action Plan The College acknowledges withdrawing all remaining funds from the appropriate awarding agency before the expiration date of December 31, 2021. However, it should be noted that the disbursement of these funds drawn was in anticipation of settling an invoice for an allowable expense within three calendar days of the draw. However, because of unforeseen delays on the part of the vendor, the invoice was settled outside of this timeframe. It should be further noted that all funds drawn are kept in a non-interest bearing bank account separate from the College?s normal operating account (from which all vendor invoices are paid) until the funds are disbursed. Upon disbursement, the funds are then transferred to the College?s operating account. To ensure that disbursements of federal awards are made within the allowed timeframe, the College?s management will have received an invoice for an allowable expenditure before withdrawing federal funds to settle that invoice. Anticipated Completion Date The College anticipates completion of this corrective action on or before August 31, 2023. Names of Contact People Responsible for Corrective Action Thomas R.

Finding #2022-002 ? #84.425D COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund ? ESSER II and III Condition: There was one Education Stabilization Fund construction project performed by a contractor. Grant expenditures for the project totaled $170,924.50. There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contract and certified payrolls were received. Effect: A reimbursement request was made for expenditures that did not comply with wage rate requirements. Cause: The District was not aware that wage rate requirements applied to the construction project until after it was completed. 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 for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Questioned Costs: $170,924.50. Context: The construction projects began and were completed in June 2022 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. Consider determining if the contractor performing the project in 2021-2022 paid prevailing wage rates for costs reimbursed by the grant. Response: The District became aware of wage rate requirements after finishing the project. Before bidding any future construction project 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. Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2023

Finding Number: 2022-002 Condition: The College drew down HEERF related expenses for the institutional expenditures at a rate that differed from the final, reported expenditures. This was based on the identification of expenditures that were later not included in the final annual reporting, placing the timing of drawdown for reported expenditures to be outside of the cash management regulations. By extension, the institutional quarterly reporting was also incorrect as it is based on the initial expenditure classifications. Planned Corrective Action: The College drew down funds based on expenditures that management deemed to be qualified however, at year-end, concluded to charge other expenditures to the grant causing the mismatch in the timing of drawdowns and final expenditures charged to the grant. Although HEERF and other COVID 19 Pandemic funding has ended, in the future, such expenditures will be discussed and documented prior to the drawing of funds. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Amanda Ewers, Director of Finance and Gary Black, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: Corrected reporting was submitted on March 22, 2023

Anticipated Completion Date: Action has already been taken by the District to resolve the underlying issue of the finding in the current fiscal year and is working through February 2023 to complete all incomplete reports.

Finding #2022-001: #84.425U COVID-19 ? Education Stabilization Fund ? ESSER III Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Education Pass-through Award Number: 2022-533612-DPI-ESSERFIII-165 Pass-through Entity: Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction 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 for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Condition: There was one Education Stabilization Fund construction project performed by a subcontractor. Grant expenditures for the project paid by Education Stabilization Fund totaled $424,000. There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contract and certified payrolls were not received. Cause: The District was not aware that wage rate requirements applied to the construction project until after it was completed. Effect: A reimbursement request was made for expenditures that did not comply with wage rate requirements. Questioned Costs: $424,000. Recommendation: Establish controls to comply with wage rate requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund. Consider determining if the contractor performing the project in 2021-2022 paid prevailing wage rates for costs reimbursed by the grant. Grantee Response:At the time that we committed to doing this project, we informed our referendum construction manager that we would be using federal funds to pay for this additional work. With us informing them of that, we assumed that all required paperwork would be completed to comply with the Davis-Bacon Act. Unfortunately, we thought this was sufficient notification for them to support us with compliance. In our follow-up communications with our primary HV AC subcontractor we learned at the time when referendum work was contracted in 2019, they were paying prevailing wage. We worked with legal counsel to develop a contract that is compliant with the Davis-Bacon Requirements. To make sure the paperwork is in place copies of such contracts will be sent to the business office before work commences as well as the compliance documentation when work is complete. We are also conducting a review of our written procedures to be completed by June 30, 2023. Contact Person: Carey Bradley Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2023

FINDINGS?FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS U.S. Department of Agriculture 2022-003 SNAP Employment and Training Program ? Assistance Listing No. 10.537 Recommendation: We recommend that management improve internal control monitoring activities and provide training to staff regarding timely reimbursement requests. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: This deficiency was caused as a result of the change in personnel. In late 2021, all of the accounting personnel for Help left the company and were replaced. Unfortunately, due to this untimely and unexpected departure of key personnel, Help management was unaware of some necessary processes and was not able to properly train the new staff in all matters. Help management will provide additional training to those responsible for preparation and review of the reimbursement requests. In addition, processes will be implemented to ensure that all reimbursement requests are completed on a timely basis in accordance with funding requirements.
