We consider the untimely calculation and Return of Title IV Student Financial Aid to be an instance of noncompliance relating to the Special Tests and Provisions Compliance Requirement.

Item # 2024-02 Indirect Costs Incorrectly Allocated to Federal Award (Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Federal Major Program) Criteria: Under Uniform Guidance regulations and per the terms of the federal award, the de minimis 10% indirect cost rate for indirect cost allocations must be used on federal award expenditures. The Guidance also prohibits application of 10% de minimis rate on all subgrants in excess of $25,000 during the period of performance. Condition: Based on the results of our audit testing, we noted indirect costs were allocated incorrectly during the grant period. The total known questioned costs are $1,142. Cause: Management failed to charge indirect costs correctly on the federal subaward during the year ended June 30, 2024. Effect: The effect of the condition was $1,142 in known questioned costs charged to two federal subawards during the year ended June 30, 2024. Auditor’s Recommendation: Management should perform a thorough analysis of the indirect cost allocation to ensure it is reasonable and calculated correctly in accordance with the Uniform Guidance Regulation. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management understands that indirect expenses incurred on federal awards must be reviewed and allocated appropriately. Management will ensure that it properly allocates indirect costs in accordance with Uniform Guidance and the terms of its federal awards.

Item # 2024-01 Inadequate Internal controls over the recognition of revenue (Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting) Criteria: Under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Standards, revenue for conditional, cost reimbursement grants is recognized when the related expenditures are incurred. Condition: Based on the results of our audit testing, we noted two material grant billings that were not recorded in the period the expenditures were incurred and were instead recorded when invoiced. Cause: Internal controls failed to detect misstatements in revenue during the year June 30, 2024. Effect: The effect of the condition was an adjustment to increase revenue (and the related by receivable) by $372,638, which was recorded in the June 30, 2024 consolidated financial statements. Auditor’s Recommendation: Management should perform a thorough analysis of revenue around fiscal year end to ensure revenue is recorded properly. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management understands that additional oversight and review of revenue recognition is necessary. Controls will be put into place to prevent revenue recognition issues.

Condition: During our review of Food Service funds, we noted that the numbers of meals served was less than the amount that was submitted for reimbursement. Criteria: When a recipient of federal food service money goes to submit for reimbursement, the amount of meals that are served should match up with the reporting out of the recipients system to ensure proper reimbursement is taking place. Cause: The Food service department did not have a proper reconciliation practices to ensure accurate reporting Effect: Funds may be overdrawn. Perspective: The majority of the buildings were accurate as we found during testing, with high turnover in the space training may not have taken place. Recommendation: We recommend training of all food service recording staff as well as the Director of Food service understand that the reimbursement of meals report should match the meals served reporting that documents each day of the meals served. It should also be noted that the meals served documents needs to have oversight to ensure those reports are accurate on a daily basis.

Finding Reference Number: 84.425U ARP ESSER Description of Finding: Vertus Charter School was required to submit the Education Stabilization Fund Annual Reporting to New York State Education Department. It was found that Vertus Charter completed the reporting based on cash expenditures made during the required period of July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, and not based on the cash expenditures related to cash received during the stated required reporting period. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Vertus Charter School agrees with the audit finding. Corrective Action: Immediate Actions Taken: 1. Upon identification of the issue, the organization immediately reviewed the instructions to complete the Education Stabilization Fund Annual Reporting and compared it to the report submitted to identify the discrepancy. 2. The organization will determine appropriate steps to correct the report and/or other actions based on guidance provided by New York State Education Department. Root Cause Analysis: The reporting error occurred because there was a misinterpretation of the reporting methodology required to file the ESF Annual Report. Instead, the organization used the reporting methodology required to file the Annual ESSA Financial Transparency Report – Charter School Actual Expenditures, whereby the actual cash expenditures made during the reporting period are reported, vs. reporting expenditures made using the cash received under the program during the reporting period. Planned Actions to Prevent Recurrence: 1. Training for Staff: a. All staff responsible for preparing and submitting financial reports will undergo mandatory training on federal reporting requirements. Responsible Party: Outsourced Chief Financial Officer Timeline: Complete by January 15, 2025 2. Revised Reporting Procedures: a. The organization will ensure that information reported in the ESF Annual Report is based on the correct accounting methodology in accordance with instructions from the New York State Education Department and the U.S. Department of Education requirements.

Finding: During our audit, we noted that certain figures used as inputs to the annual performance report could not be reconciled to supporting documentation and therefore, we were unable to substantiate certain amounts reported to NYSED. The review of the annual performance report was not performed at an appropriate level of precision such that the incorrect and/or incomplete information presented would be identified and corrected prior to submission to NYSED. Recommendation: We recommend that the District reevaluate the system of internal control for the review and approval of the annual performance report prior to submission to NYSED, including the reconciliation of amounts included within the support to appropriate supporting documentation. District Response: The District will ensure that, prior to submission to NYSED the annual performance report will be reviewed by an individual other than the preparer and reconciled to the supporting documentation in order to confirm the completeness and accuracy of information reported.

Finding 2024-002: Disbursements to or on Behalf of Students – Credit Balances Corrective Action Plan: We concur with the auditor’s finding. This was a unique situation as the refund in question related to interterm for which there are no charges. The student completed interterm but did not return for spring. Refunds are a very manual process and the late refund in question was an oversight. There have been multiple changes made since the fiscal year under review. We will no longer be offering an interterm session which presented unique challenges around student accounts and financial aid. We have implemented an updated accounting software which will simplify the process of reviewing accounts for refunds. We have a new staff person in student accounts and have reviewed all processes related to the issuance of refunds. We are reviewing accounts and issuing refunds on a weekly basis.
