Response and Corrective Action Plan The Authority has attempted to segregate accounting duties by having a person who does not initiate, prepare or post disbursements review the bank statements and co-sign all checks. The Authority will continue to monitor its policies and procedures in an effort to improve control efficiencies, however, at this time, the Authority has determined that the cost of eliminating the deficiency would exceed its benefit.

2023-002 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Recommendation: We recommend the County establish internal control procedures to ensure that all amounts charged to grant programs for employee payroll costs be reconciled to the specific employee payroll records and that supporting documentation be maintained throughout the grant award period and beyond. Views of responsible officials: Management concurs with the finding. There were minimal variances in the number of employees tested and the County believes the wage report discrepancies are isolated due to the complexity of the EMS salary structure. The County claimed $26,038,852 of the $37,618,256 total eligible expenses available. Action planned/taken in response to finding: Effective fiscal year 2024, Management will implement the following corrective action: The County will create a process to ensure the payroll wage reports generated by Human Resources agrees to support documentation.

Finding #2023-003 - Material Adjustments (Prior year finding #2022-003) Condition: Johnson Block and Company, Inc. proposed numerous adjusting journal entries. 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 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: John Costello Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2024

Finding #2023-001 - Segregation of Duties (Prior year finding #2022-001) Condition: The limited size of the District’s office staff prevents the ideal separation of functions. The bookkeeper prints accounts payable checks, has access to the password to print electronic signatures and performs bank reconciliations. The bookkeeper also performed all payroll functions. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected on a timely basis. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Criteria: Checks and balances should be in place to allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct any misstatements on a timely basis. 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 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 Board reviews and approves all expenditures on a monthly basis prior to mailing accounts payable checks. Contact Person: John Costello Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable

Action taken in response to finding: Adjustments have been made to reflect the full spring break period in our return of funds process. The number of days campus is considered to be closed for spring break has been updated to nine days for Spring 2024. Spring terms in the future will be set up in Colleague with the day following the last day of classes prior to spring break as the first day of spring break and the day prior to the first day of classes after spring break as the last day of spring break. For 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, this equates to a nine-day spring break. All R2T4 calculations for Spring 2024 have been reviewed and recalculated using a nine-day spring break rather than a seven-day spring break. In communicating with Ellucian regarding the processing of R2T4, we discovered a report that we can run in Colleague to identify students that have withdrawn from all courses and will not complete any courses for the semester. This will be used instead of the report made in house, previously utilized for this process. A financial aid staff member will run the report and perform the R2T4 calculations in Colleague. Then the staff member that performed the calculations will run the Return of Funds Detail Report in Colleague, indicate on that report that they performed the calculations, and send the report to the Director of Financial Aid. The Director will review the Return of Funds Detail Report and the calculations. The Director will sign off on the Return of Funds Detail Report approving the calculations. The report will then be saved in the Return of Funds folder in the Financial Aid Files. All Financial Aid staff members will be trained and have the ability to perform R2T4 calculations to ensure that the calculations can be performed regularly prior to each student refund date during the term. All R2T4 calculations for the 2023-2024 school year have been reviewed for accuracy. Calculations performed for the fall 2023 semester have been reviewed by the Director of Financial Aid for accuracy. Due to short staffing in the Financial Aid Office in the spring semester, and remaining staff not being trained on the R2T4 process, calculations for the Spring 2024 semester were performed by the Director of Financial Aid. To ensure the accuracy of the calculations, the calculations were checked using the R2T4 calculation tool in COD (Common Origination Disbursement).

Performance Reporting Federal Program: American Relief Plan Act (ARPA) ALN 21.027 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Federal Award Year: 2021 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance Individual Responsible: Stephanie Sarrionandia, Finance Director The City of San Benito has identified turnover in the finance department and city administration staff as the root cause of failure to submit reports on time, due to a lack of sufficient staff members with access to the system for report submission. Corrective Actions:  Designated Access: During the 2024 Fiscal Year, the City ensured that at least three employees were designated to have access to the required information and system for report submission. Additionally, the City maintained a roster of designated employees which ensured coverage during staff transitions.  Cross-Training Program: During the 2024 Fiscal Year, the City implemented a comprehensive cross-training program to ensure all designated employees had a thorough understanding of reporting guidelines and procedures. Additionally, the City documented standard operating procedures for report submission and ensured they were readily available to all designated staff members.  Designated Responsibility: During the 2024 Fiscal Year, the City designated specific individuals to be responsible of overseeing report submission deadlines to ensure compliance. Additionally, the City established clear communication channels for reporting deadlines and responsibilities to designated staff members. By following this plan, the City of San Benito has addressed the issue of delayed report submissions and ensured smoother operations despite turnover in staff. Date corrective action plan was implemented: October 01, 2023.

Recommendation: Additional procedures should be designed, implemented, and documented for allowable costs to ensure documentation of review and approval of allowable costs to be charged to the federal award. The accounting system configurations should be modified to require segregation of duties for all transactions. For journal entries, a documented review and approval should be performed by a finance committee member on a monthly basis. Ac􀆟on Taken: BGCDC has received instructions on how to configure the Accounts Payable module to incorporate the proper approval process. We are in the process of making that update. In addition, for any journal entries made the by CFO, a monthly list will go to the Finance Committee for review. The CFO tries to not make journal entries, but with limited Finance staff and a large workload, this is often inevitable. The logical approvals would come from Finance Committee. The contact person responsible for corrective action is Wendi Speed, CFO. The anticipated completion date is June 30, 2025.

Finding No. 2023-004: Inadequate Controls over the Payment of Claims ...
Finding No. 2023-004: Inadequate Controls over the Payment of Claims Corrective Action Plan: The claim initiation duties have been separated from the claim approval responsibilities. When a claim is initiated in FACIS, that request can only be approved by someone with permissions to review and approve claims on the case. Reviewing and approving authorizations on the FACIS system can only be issued to an individual on CPS staff who does not have claim entry responsibilities. Payment is generated only after approval is completed. During the period audited, the FACIS system did not save information about which staff member had approved the claim. This left no record to verify the name and date for claim approvals. Contact Person: Jason Simmons, Chief Financial Officer, Department of Social Services Anticipated Completion Date: In state fiscal year 2024, FACIS was updated to fully document this information for later retrieval and review, essentially the implementation of this corrective action plan prior to the completion of DLA's audit; therefore, this finding has been corrected.
