Condition: The Intermediate School District (ISD) did not have internal controls in place to ensure that all the expenditures included in the quarterly claims for reimbursement were allowable. Planned Corrective Action: The ISD will review the process used by the local districts to report quarterly expenditures for the Administrative Outreach program. We will then create a process that ensures that the local districts provide supporting documentation that allows us to monitor the quarterly submission amounts for accuracy.

Condition: Controls in place did not minimize the time elapsing between the transfer receipt of billing from the subrecipient and disbursement of federal dollars to the subrecipient in accordance with the guidance above. Planned Corrective Action: Federation typically receives vouchers from 15 subrecipient organizations approximately ten to fifteen days after the end of each month. The number of vouchers per agency depends on the number of programs they provide. Staff reviews the vouchers for allowability and accuracy and submits them to the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) within 24 days of month end. During fiscal year 2025, the IDHS remitted payment to Federation anywhere from 20 to 82 days after the month end. Upon receipt of the cash, Federation typically pays subrecipient organizations within two to three business days. In the instances identified by the auditors, the IDHS remitted payment over 30 days after Federation submitted the vouchers for reimbursement. Federation’s longstanding policy has always been to reimburse each subrecipient agency after it has received payment from the IDHS. Prior to fiscal year 2024, the IDHS usually provided payment within 15 days of receipt of our voucher and therefore Federation was able to comply with the 30-day requirement. However, reimbursement delays from IDHS began to occur in fiscal year 2024 and continued throughout fiscal year 2025, resulting in the findings describe herein. IDHS made two advance payments to Federation during fiscal 2025, but the amounts provided were not adequate to fund all payments within the 30 day time period. To ensure compliance with the 30-day reimbursement requirement, Federation will again request advances from the IDHS. Kyu Kim, Director of Finance and Contract Compliance, Refugee Services will be responsible for the oversight of the reimbursement payments. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Kyu Kim Anticipated Completion Date: July 2026

View of the Responsible Official: We agree with the significant deficiency identified. Responsible Persons: School-based food service coordinators and Management director of food service Management Response: Training is conducted annually with school-based food service coordinators to ensure proper understanding of reporting requirements. During the 2025-2026 year standardized forms have been distributed to all school food service locations to ensure accurate counting and calculations, which will align with the monthly claim reimbursement reports submitted for reimbursement. It is the expectation that all school-based food service coordinators will properly utilize the updated forms and will receive training as necessary to ensure a thorough understanding of the importance of accurate reporting. Management’s food service director will increase oversight of the meal counts and claims reports to verify the accuracy of the reporting, and to ensure that the count records agree to the claims submitted. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Recommendation: We recommend management establish an informal procedure to reconcile grant funds received with funds expended on a regular basis. We also recommend management implement a formal procedure to reconcile the SEFA with the general ledger at year end. Corrective Action: The Comptroller will reconcile this report on a monthly basis making sure that all grants and other Federal / State expenditures are on the SEFA and that the two numbers reconcile with the general ledger. This will be kept in a notebook and the calendar kept in the Comptroller’s desk. The Comptroller will also create a folder in the business office folder on the server and input the current SEFA in this folder and show any discrepancies on a monthly basis and every time this report is run for drawdowns. This process will start immediately. The Comptroller will also make sure at year end that all items are on this report and they have been reconciled with the general ledger. This process will also be in the notebook and calendar within the desk of the Comptroller.

Bank Reconciliations, Interfund Balances Reconciliations and Balance Sheet Account Reconciliations. Year ended June 30, 2025. Auditors' Recommendation: We recommend that the District prepare bank reconcilations soon after the end of each month. As part of the reconcilation process the District's general ledger cash balances should be compared against the bank reconcilation, with any differences being immediately investigated. Once complete, the bank reconcilation should be reviewed by someone independent of the preparer. In addition, a worksheet should be developed which reconciles interfund balances on a monthly basis. Any differences in the reconcilation process should be immediately investigated. We recommend that asset and liability accounts be reconciled on a regular and routine basis. Further, reconcilations should be reviewed by management to ensure their accurate and timely completion. Districts's Response: The District will ensure that bank reconcilations are prepared in a timely manner and verify that balances within the general ledger cash accounts agree to the bank reconcilation, along with ensuring that interfund balances reconcile and that balance sheet asset and liabilities are reconciled to supporting documentation.

Western Wyoming Community College experienced unexpected turnover in the Director of Financial Aid position, which impacted financial aid reporting and reconciliation processes. Due to access issues with federal systems required for conducting reconciliations and the departure of a consultant who did not retain documentation for completed reconciliations, no reconciliations were available for review for the 2024/2025 Academic Year and 2025 Fiscal Year. Corrective Action Plan 1. Staffing and Training a. A new Director of Financial Aid has been hired and has completed training on the reconciliation process for both Pell Grants and Direct Loans in collaboration with the Assistant Director of Financial Aid. b. Cross-training has been implemented to ensure continuity of operations in the event of future staff turnover. 2. Establishment of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) a. The Financial Aid Office has worked with the Business/Bursar’s Office to develop and document a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) governing: • The drawdown of Title IV funds. • The reconciliation process for Pell and Direct Loan programs. b. The SOP outlines responsible parties, required documentation, and timelines for reconciliation and reporting. 3. Monthly Reconciliation Schedule a. A reconciliation schedule has been established requiring completion of Pell and Direct Loan reconciliations by the 15th of each month, or as soon thereafter as federal reports become available. b. Once reconciliations are confirmed as accurate and complete with the Business/Bursar’s Office, drawdowns of funds will occur on or near the 15th of each month, depending on calendar dates and federal system availability. 4. Compliance Alignment a. This process ensures timely and accurate reconciliation of Pell Grant and Direct Loan funding in accordance with 34 CFR 685.300(b)(5) and related federal cash management requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: November 15, 2025 Contact Persons: DeeAnna Archuleta, Director of Financial Aid, Assistant Director of Financial Aid, Business/Bursar’s Office

Condition For one out of forty students tested, City Colleges properly recalculated a return of Title IV funds for a student but did not subsequently adjust the student's account to perform the return or notify the student of the adjusted award amount. Cause The lack of return of Title IV funds was an oversight due to human error. Corrective Action Taken or Planned To strengthen internal controls, the District Office assigned an analyst to conduct a review of a random selection of files across all seven colleges scheduled for audit to help identify any discrepancies early and ensure compliance. All R2T4 specialists will receive yearly refresher trainings on R2T4 procedures and controls.

Responsible party: Bethany Johnson, Interim Executive Director and Commercial Lending Manager and Tyler Ward, Interim Finance Director and Commercial Lender Implementation date: December 31, 2025 Corrective Action Plan Both Bethany Johnson, Interim Executive Director and Commercial Lending Manager, and Tyler Ward, Interim Finance Director and Commercial Lender, will continue to monitor the budget vs actuals both on a monthly and quarterly basis. Tyler Ward will provide an initial review and Bethany Johnson will provide a secondary review of the financial statements. If any variances are more than 5% over within a category, this category and the overall variances of each line item will be monitored closely to determine if any cumulative changes would cause a 10% or more increase or decrease overall in addition to a particular category. If a budget revision is determined to be required, Tyler Ward will prepare this document and Bethany Johnson will review and sign before submitting it to SBA. A reminder will be added to both Bethany Johnson and Tyler Ward’s SCKEDD calendars along with the existing reporting reminders. This will serve as a secondary reminder to monitor the budget at 90, 60 and 30 days before the end of the grant year. This will ensure that any changes in the 4th quarter can be addressed before the budget revision cutoff date to SBA. Calendar reminders will be added on 12/15/2025, and financials statement variances towards the Microloan grant will be reviewed with more scrutiny moving forward beginning with December 31, 2025 financial statements.

Condition: The Organization did not review period end reimbursement requests for costs that had been expended and requested in prior months. The lack of proper review resulted in the Organization charging duplicate costs of $95,294. Planned Corrective Action: The CFO maintains a payout tracker which is updated every time a vendor payout is made and tracks that payment to the reimbursement request and the final payment by the pass-through agency. This process ensures that a payout is not included in a payout request multiple times. The Staff Accountant also maintains a tracker of all reimbursement requests to track with the program budgets and for inclusion in the MIP accounting system. In addition, new personnel are involved in the process with a more formal approval and authorization process implemented. The Organization’s staff has communicated these duplicate requests to the appropriate personnel at the granting agency and are coordinating the repayment of the excess funds as determined by the granting agency. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Tom Sakos, Chief Financial Officer, and Jenny Cuitiva, Accounting Manager Anticipated Completion Date: May 1, 2025 for implementing controls and November 30, 2025 for communicating with the granting agency.

The Marshall Public School District has been working to utilize excess food service funds in an appropriate and timely manner. Recently, these funds supported significant cooler and freezer replacements and repairs, including work already completed in the new kitchen at our Intermediate School. Additional units were repaired or replaced in the fall of 2025. The final remaining capital items include a newly purchased distribution vehicle for mobile meal delivery to sites without kitchens and distribution of commodities delivered to a central site. There will be an additional cooler to be acquired before the end of the 2025 fiscal year for our newly constructed distribution site, as well as other costs at that site for completion of the distribution facility. These purchases support operations in our new distribution building, where commodities are delivered, stored, and distributed from as needed throughout the year. Looking ahead, the district plans to replace movable supplies and equipment throughout the 2025–26 school year. Specifically, we are preparing to add new food service lines with additional points of sale to improve efficiency and decrease wait times, as well as purchase the associated POS licenses. We will also upgrade selected appliances and cabinetry to modernize and improve efficiency in kitchens located in older buildings around the district. In addition, as needed or upon request, we intend to provide further professional development opportunities for our food service staff. Collectively, these actions will ensure that no excess funds remain in the food service account by the end of the current fiscal year.
