Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and will take the following corrective action. The ESSER annual Data Collection reports will need to be reviewed more closely to ensure that they are matching to the disbursement detail in the accounting software. Once the superintendent has entered numbers into the report, there should be a second review of those numbers to the accounting software numbers by the corporation treasurer. In addition, detail of full-time equivalent employees needs to be documented by the deputy treasurer and retained with each report going forward. Responsible party and timeline for completion: Responsible party is Theresa Robbins, Corporation Treasurer. The timeline for completion is spring of 2025.

The finding was the result of a data entry oversight made by human error in the Oral Health service category for the September 2024 Ryan White billing to Dallas County. While our Dallas County Ryan White billings are currently calculated under a unit cost method, effective March 1, 2025 our contracts will be on cost reimbursement. Although we will implement the action plan to ensure our records of units are accurate, beginning March 1st there will be no financial correlation between the number of units we report to, and the amount of the reimbursement we receive from, Dallas County. New data validity review points designed to identify possible anomalies will be incorporated into the agency’s procedures with increased review by the Ryan White Program Director. The number of per‐client services received will be compared to parameters established with program managers as representing an unusual number of units received per client/patient per service date and per month. Units exceeding these parameters will be reviewed and corrected, if necessary. The review will be conducted monthly and prior to submission of Dallas County billings. The Ryan White Program Director, Del Wilson, will be in charge of implementing the corrective action plan changes. We hope to implement this plan by March 10, 2025, but before any further billings of service units to Dallas County.

Finding #2024-003 - Cash Reconciliations (Prior Year Finding #2023-003) Condition: The main checking account of the District was not reconciled to the general ledger in a timely manner throughout 2023-2024. Effect: Not reconciling cash accounts on a timely basis could lead to errors or other problems not being recognized and resolved in a timely manner. General ledger cash balances should be reconciled to monthly bank statements shortly after bank statements are received. Cause: The District's main checking account was not reconciled to the general ledger on a monthly basis throughout the year. Criteria: Internal controls should be kept in place to make sure that cash is reconciled timely and that reconciliations are tied to the general ledger on a monthly basis. Recommendation: We recommend the District develop procedures to reconcile all cash accounts to the general ledger in a timely manner. The reconciliations should be reviewed by someone other than the person preparing the reconciliation. The reviewer should initial and date the reconciliations when the review is complete. Response: The District will begin reconciling cash to the general ledger on a timely basis during the 2024-2025 fiscal year. Contact Person: Ryan Bohnsack Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2025

Finding #2024-002 - Material Adju tments (Prior Year Finding #2023-002 Condition: Johnson Block and Company, Inc. proposed numerous adjusting journal entries 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 the accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness exists in the District's internal controls. Effect: This means that the proper recording and reporting of financial information may not occur within a timely manner. Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and material adjustments were needed in order to correct various transactions. 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 work to establish policies and procedures to reduce the number of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor. Contact Person: Ryan Bohnsack Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2025

Finding #2024-00 I - Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2023-00 I) Condition: Management is responsible for the design, installation and maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control. Proper segregation of duties is an important aspect of any control system. The limited size of the District's office staff prevents the ideal segregation of functions. The Business Manager is the only employee that records transactions in the general ledger, records cash receipt adjustments in the general ledger, prints accounts payable checks using electronic signatures, performs bank reconciliations, and has access to process payroll. 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: We recommend that the Board of Education and the District Administrator 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 District Administrator approves purchase orders and the Board of Education approves monthly accounts payable checks. Also, the Building Principals review payroll timesheets prior to processing payroll. The Board of Education, District Administrator, and Building Principals will continue to monitor transactions of the District. Contact Person: Ryan Bohnsack Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Donna Wilson, CFO Contact Phone Number: 812-462-4314 Views of Responsible Official: The School Corporation will appropriately update the capital asset listing to include all equipment and real property acquisitions and review for potential capital asset dispositions on an annual basis. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Deputy Treasurer and/or Treasurer will monitor all expenditures in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to grant agreements and Equipment and Real Property Management Requirements set forth in grant agreements. Proper additions and dispositions of equipment and real property will be reflected in the capital asset records of the School Corporation. Anticipated Completion Date: Immediately.

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Dr. Tammy Rowshandel, Chief Accountability Officer Contact Phone Number: 812-462-4224 Views of Responsible Official: The School Corporation's management will establish an effective system of internal control to ensure compliance and comply with the grant agreement and the Special Tests and Provisions - Annual Report Card, High School Graduation Rate compliance requirement. Description of Corrective Action Plan: A system will be put in place that ensures compliance with the Special Tests and Provisions-Annual Report Card, High School Graduation Rate requirements. Records will be retained for audit so that appropriate documentation is available to substantiate all future reporting. Building registrars will enter state exit codes for students and upload documentation to substantiate the exit codes that are chosen. Once the documents are uploaded, the registrars will place the word “AUDIT” in the withdrawal comments. This indicates the exit is now audit ready. Schools will conduct regular internal cohort audits. Comparisons of IDOE cohort data and withdrawal information in Skyward will be done. The registrar, assistant principal, and data counselor in each building will work together to check the original uploads of documentation done by the registrar and keep record of this work. One final internal audit will take place at the school level by head counselors and assistant principals to indicate all graduates are correctly identified and all exits have proper documentation on file. The CFO and superintendent will digitally sign off on these records during IDOE July certification. Anticipated Completion Date: March 1, 2025

Subject: Education Stabilization Fund – Equipment and Real Property Management Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: COVID-19 – Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D Federal Award Numbers: S425D210013 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Equipment and Real Property Management Audit Findings: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Equipment and Real Property Management Requirements compliance requirements. Context: The School Corporation expended $94,444 on equipment/real property acquisitions during the period under audit which was charged to the ESSER II (84.425D) grant award. While the School Corporation did maintain a capital asset listing for the audit period, controls in place were not operating in an effective manner to properly track federal equipment acquisitions. The School Corporation failed to include the equipment/real property purchases on the capital asset listing. The School Corporation had also not performed a complete physical inventory of capital assets during the audit period as required by federal and state regulations. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Management will consult Board approved polices for capital asset management and ensure listings include and identify purchases made with federal funds and ensure a physical inventory is completed at least once every two years. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Fairfield Community Schools has hired 3G Solutions to perform a complete inventory of assets.

Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster - Internal Controls Federal Agency: Department of Agriculture Federal Program: School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program Assistance Listing Number: 10.553, 10.555 Federal Award Numbers and Years (or Other Identifying Numbers): FY 22-23, FY 23-24 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Eligibility Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the eligibility compliance requirement. Context: The School Corporation’s internal controls over eligibility included an annual approval of the food service software’s eligibility guidelines and also a documented review of individual meal applications by Food Service Department staff. During testing of eligibility, we noted 7 applications, out of 60 total students tested for the audit period, that did not have a timely, documented review by Food Service Department staff. The lack of review was isolated to fiscal year 2023. Additionally, there was no documented annual review by School Corporation personnel of the fiscal year 2024 income eligibility guidelines used by the food service software. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Management will ensure all applications for free/reduced meals have a formally documented dual review. Management will also ensure that income thresholds in the student meal system are reviewed annually. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Effective immediately, we have implemented procedures that Amanda Bilbrey, Food Service Assistant will periodically throughout the school year verify that all free & reduced applications are properly reviewed. Attached is the 2024-2025 meal Income Eligibility Guidelines and Titan student meal system printout of meal pricing, that has been reviewed.
