Segregation of Duties – Child Nutrition Cluster Recommendation: Our auditors recommend the District designate an individual to review accuracy of status determination and input into software. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: To address segregation of duties concerns within the Child Nutrition Cluster program, the District has implemented enhanced controls and designated the Director of Food Services to conduct independent reviews of all eligibility determinations for free and reduced-price meal benefits. This process is actively underway with positive results. The designated reviewer verifies accuracy and completeness of household applications, confirms correct income calculations and household size determinations, and reviews eligibility data input into our nutrition management software to confirm accurate recording of statuses. We have established a formal monthly review schedule with increased scrutiny during peak application periods, and these reviews have already identified and corrected several discrepancies that could have led to compliance issues. Documentation of reviews, including discrepancies and corrective actions, is maintained in program files for monitoring purposes. Since implementing this segregated review process, we have seen measurable improvements in eligibility determination accuracy, with fewer errors requiring correction and greater consistency in applying program rules. By separating initial determination from review and verification functions, we have created meaningful checks and balances that reduce error risks and prevent potential fraud. Additionally, we have implemented periodic training for all staff involved in the meal application process. These measures effectively strengthen segregation of duties within our Child Nutrition Cluster operations, enhance accountability, and ensure program integrity.

Finding #2025-002 -Material Audit Adjustments (Prior Year Finding #2024-002) Condition: The audit proposed adjusting journal entries during the audit process to adjust District account balances. We deem these entries to be significant in relation to the financial statements. Since the District did not make these adjustments in its accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness was determined to exist in the District's internal controls. Effect: Financial reports generated by the accounting system may not provide an accurate reflection of the District's financial position or activities. Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and numerous adjustments were needed in order to correct account balances. Criteria: Material adjusting journal entries not prepared by the District before the audit are considered an internal control weakness. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded in a timely manner. Response: The District will establish policies and procedures to reduce the number of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor in future years.

Finding #2025-00 l - Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2024-001 Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the control areas reviewed. Cause: Controls Over Accounts Payable/Disbursements Person processing accounts payable is not always separate from those who print the checks. Controls Over Payroll Person preparing the payroll is not independent of other personnel duties such as custody of the checks. Criteria: Internal controls should be in place that provide adequate segregation of duties. Generally, a system of internal control contemplates separation of duties such that no individual has responsibility to execute a transaction, have physical access to the related assets, and have responsibility or authority to record the transaction. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented segregating duties among different employees.Management should continue to maintain a working knowledge of matters relating to the District's operations. Response: We agree with this finding but due to the size of our District and financial constraints we do not believe it is cost effective to increase the office staff io an attempt to bring about a more effective segregation of duties. The Board of Education approves monthly accow1ts payable checks and the Department Head or Building Principal approves payroll timesheets prior to processing payroll. The Board, Principals, and Department Heads will continue to monitor transactions of the District. Contact Person: Loras Winders Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: CLA recommends reviewing and updating key IT/financially relevant organization-wide policies and procedures on an annual basis. CLA also recommends the Organization review the institution's written information security program and ensure that a qualified individual (i.e. CIO, CISO, ISO) has been identified to enforce and monitor GLBA compliance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: During the audit period, the University experienced significant employee turnover within the Information Technology department, which contributed to delays in the review and update of key IT and financially relevant policies and procedures. A new Chief Information Officer (CIO) has since been hired and has begun addressing the gaps noted in the finding. Under the CIO’s leadership, the University is actively reviewing and updating organization-wide IT policies, procedures, and the written information security program. The CIO is also assuming responsibility for enforcing and monitoring GLBA compliance going forward.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure that students’ statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: In response to these challenges, the University initiated corrective actions beginning in Summer 2025. 1. Dedicated Technical Resources: We have been assigned dedicated ITS staff members (managed by Dynamic Campus) specifically to the resolution of enrollment and graduation submission and compilation logic. 2. Submission Scheduling: A rigid schedule for monthly enrollment and graduation submissions has been established for both Branch 00 and Branch 76. 3. Staffing: An additional Registrar’s Office staff member has been shifted to assist with the NSC process, specifically focusing on the remediation of error reports. 4. Policy Revision: We have simplified the degree conferral policy to improve the accuracy of graduation reporting. We are also working to align end of term grade submission deadlines to allow for timely end of term processing and degree conferrals. This in turn will aid in more timely submissions especially as it affects graduation reporting. 5. Data Mapping: The Registrar’s Office has collaborated with ITS to audit the specific fields and tables used to generate Clearinghouse reports. This addresses the complexity of reporting on two branches involving multiple term codes. 6. Automation: We have implemented a timely and automated submission schedule. 7. Change Management Protocols: A protocol is being implemented to prevent ITS system upgrades or network maintenance during scheduled reporting windows. 8. Data Reconciliation: We will implement a strict monitoring of Clearinghouse records regarding graduation and withdrawal dates, reconciling them against the Student Information System (SIS) and NSLDS data. That will occur once we can gain NSLDS access for the two staff members. Discrepancies will be corrected immediately. Special attention will be paid to conferral dates since they may not align with the final day of the term or sub-term. 9. Cross-Departmental Alignment: We will continue regular consultations with the Financial Aid Office regarding complex registration changes to ensure consistent interpretation and reporting. 10. Ongoing Training: Staff will continue to utilize training opportunities provided by the Clearinghouse, Banner, and other relevant bodies.

View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Center concurs with the finding. We acknowledge that our current accounting systems are outdated and lack the functionality required to support accurate and efficient expense allocations. We are in the final stages of selecting a new accounting system that which enhance our financial reporting capabilities and improve allocation accuracy. In the interim, the Center has implemented manual procedures to mitigate the risk of misallocations. Specifically, credit card purchases are now being manually entered into the general ledger to ensure each transaction is accurately matched to its corresponding receipt. This process provides greater transparency and reduces the likelihood of erroneous allocations. Additionally, we continue to utilize our Purchase Order process, which requires pre-approval by management for all purchases. This control ensures that expenditures are authorized and properly aligned with program objectives prior to being incurred. These interim measures, combined with our upcoming system upgrade, are intended to strengthen our internal controls and ensure that expenses charged to Federal awards are allocable in accordance with 2 CFR § 75.405.

View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We acknowledge that the current payroll expense allocation process is highly manual and susceptible to errors due to its subjective nature. The process of reviewing and editing data for upload to the general ledger (GL) relies heavily on manual intervention, increasing the risk of misallocations. To address this, ADP is in the process of developing a custom payroll report that will include all required fields to accurately allocate payroll expenses to the appropriate programs each pay period. This report will replace the current process, which depends on manually referencing saved reports that may contain outdated information. In addition, our monthly payroll reconciliation procedures are being updated to incorporate a comparison between data from the ADP reports and the GL. By using pivot tables to analyze raw data, we aim to enhance the accuracy of our payroll allocations and provide greater confidence in the validity of expenses charged to federal awards. These corrective actions are intended to strengthen our internal controls and ensure full compliance with the allocability requirements outlined in 2 CFR § 75.405.

Criteria: HUD requires the Organization to maintain fidelity bond coverage of at least two months' cash collections Cause: Following completion of the 2025 Mark-to-Market process for HRCA Housing for Elderly Inc., we failed to update our fidelity bond coverage to reflect the revised requirements. Action Plan: Once the finding was identified, we immediately contacted our insurance broker and requested an increase to the fidelity bond coverage. The bond has since been raised to a $2M limit, and the updated policy became effective on 11/14/25. Going forward, the fiscal team will incorporate an annual verification of bond coverage into its routine monitoring procedures to ensure timely updates after significant organizational or regulatory changes. In addition, we are implementing an internal audit component to enhance our review of all HUD requirements. This added oversight will help mitigate future risk and ensure continued compliance with all applicable regulations.
