FINDING: 2023-002 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Reporting Summary of Finding: The P&E report was prepared by one employee without an oversight or review process in place to ensure accuracy. The report submitted was not mathematically accurate or complete. Per Resolution 2022-1028, approved on December 12, 2022, the City obligated funds for six separate projects totaling $2,257,927. However, the P&E report submitted on April 18, 2023 only included one project resulting in an understatement of total obligations of $1,807,927. Additionally for the one project submitted the key line items of “Current Period Expenditures”, “Total Cumulative Expenditures”, and “Current Period Obligations” as reported on the P&E report did not agree to the City’s financial ledger Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Lynn M. Gorski, Clerk-Treasurer Contact Phone Number: 574-936-2124 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding from SBOA. Description of Corrective Action Plan: There was very little training on how to enter information into the Treasury website for the 2022 year. When it was entered there was only one obligation in the amount of $68,609 even though Resolution No. 2022-1028 noted the intent on spend. Because of lack of training on entering the information it was understated. When the information was entered for the April 2024 report all obligations were entered. When the next report is processed, I will have another staff member verify what is entered prior to submission to the Treasury Department. Anticipated Completion Date: April 30, 2025 Lynn M. Gorski Title: Clerk-Treasurer Date: August 26, 2024

Views of Responsible Officials: Management understands the need to ensure all accounts are reconciled in advance of the audit. The adjustment to tie out opening net assets has been addressed and corrected, and going forward will be recorded and confirmed prior to audit except for adjustments for K-1s received after the audit starts. For year-end investments balances, some K-1s are received during fieldwork. Since it is not feasible to prepare estimates of the K-1 amounts, the entries for the investment balance changes and corresponding adjustments for intercompany adjustments, management will prepare the entries as soon as K-1s are received and send to auditors. Since this is due to timing, not internal process, management respectfully requests that this process will not reflect negatively against the organization. For audit adjustments impacting the numbers on the Schedule of Federal Expenditures, the issues have been addressed and systems have been developed to ensure timely and accurate information. Management, including the Vice President of Finance and Business Development, and the Organization's contracted financials service providers have recorded these entries as of 7/9/2024.

FINDING: 2023-003 Finding Subject: COVID 19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Reporting Summary of Finding: An effective Internal Control System, which would include segregation of duties, was not in place at the City in order to ensure compliance with requirement related to the grant agreement and the reporting compliance requirement. Project and Expenditure reports were to be completed annually for the federal program by the City. In 2023, one employee prepared and submitted the annual report without evidence of a review by a second individual. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Deborah A. Longer, Clerk-Treasurer Contact Phone Number and Email Address: (219) 942-1940 clerk-treasurer@cityofhobart.org Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: While the City concurs with the finding, the Clerk-Treasurer also distributed the prepared 2023 report via email to the Mayor and the Common Council members prior to submittal, requesting their review and/or comments. When no comments were offered within a reasonable time, the Clerk-Treasurer submitted the report in a timely fashion as required. Future reporting activities will be distributed to the Mayor and the Council in a similar way but will require some type of response as evidence of their review prior to submittal.

Management’s Response/Corrective Action Plan: We agree with RKO's recommendation that there are no provisions in the regulations that provide for large scale reclassifications through administrative override. There was some confusion on the part of Maine School Administrative District No. 35 when a communication from the State of Maine was received in November of 2022, that the rate of Free and Reduced children identified at Maine School Administrative District No. 35 had dropped dramatically from the prior year (due to the meals being free to all) and that it may negatively impact our subsidy. At that point, Maine School Administrative District No. 35 asked its building administrators to identify needy families based on conversations they had previously had with parents, from speaking with their guidance counselors, from knowledge they had working with outside community agencies (68 Hours of Hunger) to help identify families potentially in need. From there the lists provided by the building administrators were compared with the families who had already submitted applications, and the directly certified students, and any students who were not identified in either of those cohorts were added to the free and reduced list per administrative override. When RKO arrived in May 2023 to perform interim testing, they let us know that this was not appropriate. At that time, we removed those students from the free and reduced list, and adjusted all of our previously submitted claim forms to account for the change. Maine School Administrative District No. 35 is now clear on the rules with regards to the use of administrative override, and will not use it again in the future.

Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Brenda Trogstad, Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Operations 700 S 1st Street Shelton, WA 98584 360-426-8232 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: If federal funds are used for future construction projects, the Shelton School District will refer to the Davis-Bason Act for specific guidance. The district used the small work roster procedures based on Washington State law because we were not aware of the Davis-Bacon Act. The Director of Facilities and Construction has been given a copy of the Davis-Bacon Act for future reference. This is the first time the Shelton School District has used federal funds for construction in my 34 years in the district. Anticipated date to complete corrective action: Immediately.

Criteria: Financial Data Schedule (FDS) submission for unaudited financials are due within 2 months after the fiscal year end; FDS audited submissions are due 9 months after fiscal year end; and the Federal Audit Clearing House reporting package is due 30 days after receipt of the auditors reports or 9 months after the end of the fiscal year (24 CFR section 5.801). Condition: Management missed deadlines for the audited submissions and missed the deadline for completing the Federal Audit Clearing House reporting package. Context: Significant delay in the audit process resulted from these journal entries identified in finding 2023-001. Cause: Management was late in submitting its financial information to the auditor. This in part was caused by personnel changes that limited its ability to produce timely and reliable financial data. Effect: The Authority will receive a lower SEMAP score and will be classified as a troubled housing authority which could impact its subsidies. Recommendations: The Authority needs to improve its internal controls over financial reporting by submitting its financial data on a timelier basis. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: : The Authority agrees with this finding and has outlined a plan of action to address Audit Finding 2023-002. The Authority has implemented several activities that are designed to fully address the finding and prevent any reoccurrence in the future. These actions include: An Assistant Finance Director and a new Staff Accountant have been hired to ensure timely preparation of financial statements. New financial software has been implemented along with a new chart of accounts that provides for more consistent reporting and year end close. The process of internal reporting will be monitored to ensure timely submission of financial reports.

Finding #2023-001- Segregation of Duties Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the control areas reviewed. 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 can both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities because of the lack of segregation of duties. Recommendation: We recommend that the City consider the benefits of implementing additional policies and procedures to address key controls related to its significant transaction cycles as noted. Response: We agree with the 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. Contact Person: David Kurihara, Clerk/Treasurer Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable

2023-001 ALN 14.871 – Housing Voucher Cluster – Eligibility Management acknowledges the finding and will follow the Auditor's recommendations as listed in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. The agency has begun implementing the Yardi software system that will include a landlord portal that will streamline W-9 and direct deposit documentation, while also creating a digital, cloud-based file for each landlord. This will enable the agency to better serve the needs of our landlords while also improving our records retention and filing systems. This function will also improve redundancy for continuity of operations and disaster planning. The new management team also created two (2) Fraud Specialist positions within the Housing Choice Voucher – Assisted Housing department that will audit landlord documentation to mitigate fraud risk.

Finding 2022-05 Misallocation of Grant Funds Condition: The Organization claimed purchases under a reimbursement-based federal grant but then used these supplies for a different grant. This improper use of grant-funded supplies is a violation of the grant’s terms and conditions. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organizations’ Board and Executive Team consisting of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and key Overdose Lifeline (ODL) Staff to include the independent bookkeeper and Grant and Finance Manager recognize the need to further significantly improve on the oversight and reconciliation of supply ordering and inventory.

Finding 2023-002 Federal Grantor: United States Department of the Homeland Security Planned Corrective Actions: Responsible Official – Dawn Ksepka, VP of Finance and System Controller Anticipated completion date – August 31, 2024 Management agrees with the finding. In May 2023, the COVID-19 emergency was ended and therefore remediation of internal controls specific to allowability of costs for the FEMA program are no longer applicable. However, remediation steps were taken to improve documentation of review of internal controls over all federal expenditures, not limited to the FEMA program. Remediation: Fairview revised its internal control processes to improve the retention and documentation of the review and approval of inputs to the calculation of federal expenditures, as well as ensure that the review is precise enough to challenge the appropriateness of the methodology utilized.
