Finding #2022-001 - Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2021-001) Condition: Proper segregation of duties is an important aspect of any control system. Management is responsible for the design, installation and maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control. The limited size of the District?s office staff prevents the ideal segregation of functions. The following duties lack adequate segregation of duties: The District uses e-signatures to approve purchase orders. Two individuals have access to the e-signatures and have the ability to create new vendors, enter invoices, print checks, record journal entries and record activity on the general ledger. Both individuals also have access to the payroll system. The person reviewing free and reduced food service eligibility can also enter information into the system to determine eligibility. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities as a result of the lack of segregation of duties. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Criteria: Segregation of duties is an aspect of internal control intended to prevent or decrease opportunities of intentional and unintentional errors and fraud. Duties and responsibilities are properly segregated if no single individual either has control over all phases of a transaction or has the ability to both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Recommendation: The Board of Education and the Superintendent should continue to monitor the transactions and the financial records of the District. We also encourage the District to continue to identify cost effective opportunities to improve the design of the internal control structure. Response: We agree with this finding but do not believe it is cost effective to increase the office staff in an attempt to bring about a more effective segregation of duties. The Superintendent approves purchase orders and the Board of Education approves monthly accounts payable checks, and one of the school secretaries or the board treasurer reviews the bank reconciliations. The Board of Education and Superintendent will continue to monitor transactions of the District.

2022-003 - Eligibility ? Tenant Files Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers ? CFDA Number 14.871 Material Weakness in Internal Control, Material Noncompliance Repeat of 9/30/21 Finding 2021-005 (Originally reported as finding 2020-005 at 09/30/20) Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 884 leased vouchers, 25 files were selected for testing in a statistically valid sample. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 error where the lease agreement was not signed by the owner ? 1 error where the file did not contain a signed lease agreement ? 1 error where the file did not contain a signed HAP contract. Also, during our New Admissions testing (11 tested out of 108 new admissions) we noted the following: ? 1 error where the HAP contract was signed but not dated by the Authority. ? 1 error where the lease agreement was not signed by the owner. ? 4 errors where the RFTA was signed but not dated by the landlord and/or by the tenant. Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority has hired an outside CPA firm to conduct quarterly reviews of files and to assist in training staff on HUD compliance requirements. The noted deficiencies in the tested files are being corrected and staff will continue to receive adequate training involving the compliance of all the Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) requirements.

2022-004 - Eligibility ? Tenant Files Public and Indian Housing Program ? CFDA Number 14.850 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control, Other Matters Required to be Reported Repeat of 9/30/21 Finding 2021-003 (originally reported at 9/30/19 as Finding 2019-009) Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 141 tenants, 15 files were selected for testing in a statistically valid sample. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s flat rent was overstated by $4 due to a miscalculation. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s flat rent was overstated by $2 due to a miscalculation. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s income was miscalculated. Correcting this error caused the tenant?s rent to increase by $6. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s income was miscalculated. Correcting this error caused the tenant?s rent to decrease by $63 ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s General Assistance was coded as wages on the 50058 form. Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority has hired an outside CPA firm to conduct quarterly reviews of files and to assist in training staff on HUD compliance requirements. The noted deficiencies in the tested files are being corrected. Although this is a repeat finding, the Authority has made great strides in the current fiscal year reducing the error rate by 72% from the prior year. The Authority will continue to improve file reviews and training procedures to ensure the files meet the required guidelines. Effective Date: June 26, 2023 Contact Information Chanosha N.E.

2022-002 FINDING: Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Question Cost: None noted Not considered a material weakness Response: Crazy Horse School Business Office staff will follow auditors? recommendation. The Business Manager will determine the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards and related footnotes are free of material misstatement and the audit package is filed timely. The most effective controls lie in the management and the Board of Education?s knowledge of the School?s financial operations. Supervision and review functions will be done continually during all phases of the accounting cycle. Cross training with the Business Office staff will continue to be done. The Business Manager will continue to assist with disclosure information and approve any adjusting entries to the trial balance. She reviews and approves all draft and final copies of the financial statements including disclosures. In light of the guidance of SAS 115, the Business Manager will continue additional and continuing training for herself as well as the designated staff. The goal is still to provide training in government financial reporting and current reporting standards to enable management to continue to take the responsibility for the statements and disclosures. The school will continue their implantation of their new financial policies and take steps to ensure they are being followed. All expenditures will continue to be reviewed to ensure they are properly documented, coded, and the expenditures are allowable for the grant. Review of paychecks will continue to include recalculation of hours on timesheets and leave accrual calculation. With the continue Covid closures, weather closures, and my sickness (cancer) this past year has made is very difficult at times to get things done in a timely matter. We will continue to improve and hope to have a better year. This school?s financial stability is better than it has been for years with a clean opinion and no question costs. We will continue to improve, with our outstanding business office staff, and we will continue to make sure we are on top of the internal controls daily. We are not perfect and there is always room to get better and better! ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: June 30, 2024 PERSON(S) RESPONSIBLE: Leslie Cuny, Business Manager

Management?s view: Management is in agreement that the tenant eligibility age according to the regulatory agreement is 62. Through miscommunication, the property staff incorrectly believed that non-subsidized units were not subject to the minimum age of 62, but that the minimum age of 55 was allowable in keeping with current trends and fair housing standards. Proposed corrective action: Management has adopted the proper age restriction in accordance with HUD requirements at a minimum of 62. Communication has been made to property staff regarding the proper/correct age restriction. Management is also adopting the auditor?s recommendation of requesting a waiver from HUD in order to maintain the economic soundness of the property. Anticipated correction date: 7/15/2022.
