FINDING 2024-005 Finding Subject: Title I - Eligibility Summary of Finding: The October 1 Real Time report could not be presented for audit for 2021-2022, which would have been used to pull in enrollment and poverty information for the 2022-2023 grant.

FINDING 2024-001 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster - Reporting Summary of Finding: There were no controls in place to ensure that the School Corporation complied with the reporting requirements.

Finding #2024-002 – Material Audit Adjustments (Prior Year Finding #2023-002) 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 #2024-001 – Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2023-001) Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the control areas reviewed. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected on a timely basis. Cause: Controls Over Accounts Payable/Disbursements 1. Person processing accounts payable is not always separate from those who print the checks. Controls Over Payroll 1. 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 and continue to work to achieve segregation of duties whenever cost effective. The cash disbursements process includes approval of purchase orders and matching of approved purchase orders with invoices. Review of account coding is performed by the disnict accounting staff. The payroll disbursement process includes approval of timesheets and review of coding on an ongoing basis. The Board of Education reviews budget to actual info1matio11 along with disbursement information monthly. Contact Person: Loras Winders Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable

FINDING 2024-003 Finding Subject: Covid-19 – Education Stabilization Fund – Special Tests and Provisions – Wage Rate Requirements Summary of Finding: This is a repeat finding form the immediately prior audit report. An effective internal control system, which would include segregation of duties, was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Special Tests and Provisions – Wage Rate Requirements compliance requirement. The School Corporation had not designed, nor implemented a system of internal controls to ensure that the wage rate requirements were met for construction projects. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Joanna Trueblood, Treasurer Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-967-3926 ext.5790 | jtrueblood@ewsc.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Corporation Treasurer will ensure that any new construction contracts in excess of $2,000, which are financed by federal assistance funds, pay wages not less than those established for the locality of the project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL) to their laborers and mechanics. The previously implemented corrective action plan failed due to lack of knowledge of utilizing federal assistance funds. It was believed the language addressing prevailing wage within the contract met the prevailing wage rate requirement. The Corporation will require all vendors of any new construction contracts to submit a copy of the payroll and statement of compliance to the entity for each week in which contract work is performed. Also, a Corporation checklist will be created for all construction projects financed by federal assistance funds to ensure all requirements are met.􀀃 Anticipated Completion Date: March, 2025

Apply benefits to siblings, if appropriate. 4. Not complete the final step of marking the application as processed, rather leave it 'pending' and notify Director of School Nutrition of the need for this application to be reviewed. 5. Director of School Nutrition or designee will review and either confirm the DC status by downloading the certification or conduct follow-up verification. In either case, approved or verification for cause, the Director of School Nutrition or Designee will mark the application as processed. 6.
