FINDING 2023-002 MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT (REPEAT FINDING) SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY February 28, 2024 Donovan CPAs 9292 N. Meridian Street, Suite 150 Indianapolis, IN 46260 Matchbook Learning Schools of Indiana, Inc. has already or will take the following actions to Address the Form 9 finding 1. We will continue to manage the differences in timing and required reporting that exist for charter schools in the state of Indiana. As part of that, we will monitor our cash basis fund reporting on our Form 9 submission and adjust as necessary. Adjustments are typically required when we either make accrual-based receivable and payable adjustments or when we receive retroactive grant budget approvals after a Form 9 reporting deadline has already passed. We are working on improving this reconciliation process so our individual fund Form 9 cash balances will be more accurately reflected when tied to our accrual-base fund balances. 2. We are transitioning to a new business services provider in the last quarter of fiscal year 2024. We will work with them to adjust our Form 9 reporting process.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University evaluate its procedures and a policy around how level of education is determined and verified when packaging and awarding students. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Student Financial Aid Office will add an additional step to the policy for verifying and reviewing student loan levels. In addition to reviewing loan level reports before the beginning of the academic year, we will also review loan levels after the census date of the first semester of the academic year. This added step will catch any changes that were made to student packaging up to the census date.

Auditor’s Recommendations: Budgets – A written policy should be established and communicated on preparing a budget versus actual report for all capital projects exceeding a certain dollar level. Any discrepancies should be explained in writing so that necessary corrective action, if any, can be considered. These analyses should be provided to City management and the Common Council on a monthly basis. City’s Response: Budgets - The City concurs with the auditor’s recommendations that a written policy should be established and communicated in preparing budgeted versus actual reporting for capital project budgets in excess of a yet to be determined monetary threshold. The City intends to develop a policy on budgets during 2024. Once drafted, the Audit and Compliance Committee intends to review policy, prior to its acceptance by the Common Council.

Corrective Action Plan Finding No.: 2023- 003 Condition: Audit procedures identified that during fiscal year 2023, the District claimed four construction related invoices that amounted to $1,257,867 of ESSER III award expenditures that were previously claimed under fiscal year 2022 ESSER award reimbursement claims and were reported on the fiscal year 2022 Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The District was able to identify alternate invoices that where for allowable costs within the existing grant agreement and were not previously claimed. The District's internal controls did not initially identify that the same expenditure was claimed twice under the federal award for reimbursement. Plan: The District will implement additional procedures and review processes to ensure that expenditures claimed for reimbursement are for allowable costs that have not been previously claimed for reimbursement.

Management’s Corrective Action Plan Soka University acknowledges the finding and the recommendation regarding improving procedures. Finding 2023-001 - Special Tests and Provisions – Enrollment Reporting: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance After addressing the identified deficiency in our enrollment reporting process, a thorough evaluation was conducted to rectify the issue and prevent its recurrence. We recognized that alterations in students' academic plans, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, led to delays in fulfilling mandatory graduation requirements such as study abroad requirements, resulting in delays in posting study abroad grades to the Soka transcript. Consequently, during end-of-term degree audits by the Office of the Registrar, students with pending study abroad grades or incomplete grades in their final term were inadvertently not updated to a withdrawn status, thereby failing to trigger updates to the National Student Clearinghouse and subsequently National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). In collaboration with the Office of the Registrar, robust internal controls have been implemented to mitigate this issue going forward. Following the conclusion of each term, the Registrar will generate a comprehensive report listing all students who have applied for degree completion. This report will be annotated to identify students who have fulfilled all degree requirements, enabling their degrees to be conferred promptly. Additionally, students with incomplete grades will be flagged, and their status will be promptly changed to withdrawn. In both scenarios, enrollment status updates will be transmitted to the clearinghouse and subsequently NSLDS. The Registrar will inform the Office of Financial Aid of graduates and students with updated statuses for NSLDS reporting, and Financial Aid will request an ad hoc enrollment request on NSLDS. To ensure accuracy, a manual spot-checking process will be conducted in NSLDS on 20% of the updated student records in NSLDS. Upon notification of completed incomplete grades, the Registrar will promptly update transcripts, review degree requirements, and confer degrees where applicable. Following this update, the Registrar will manually update the clearinghouse and ask the Office of Financial Aid to request an Ad hoc enrollment report on NSLDS, ensuring timely and accurate reporting. This manual request will be verified on NSLDS after the ad hoc report has been run. Students failing to meet degree requirements due to failed coursework and are enrolled to return in subsequent terms will not be updated to withdrawn status unless they fail to return as scheduled. These measures aim to enhance the integrity and accuracy of our enrollment reporting process, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and minimizing the risk of future deficiencies.

Finding 2023-001 Planned Corrective Action Finding: During the fiscal 2023 financial statement audit, a material weakness in internal control was identified. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal or state program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. During the audit as of and for the year ended August 31, 2023, costs were applied to CARES Act PRF funds which were found to be without sufficient backup documentation. The impact to the current year statutory basis financial statements was not material. Corrective Response: Management represents that there was not sufficient documentation and support surrounding Provider Relief Funding applied to expenses for the year ending August 31, 2023. Operational and reporting improvements will be pursued in an effort to better provide documentation and support on a go-forward basis. Since these transactions, management has added additional staff and more training for processing credit card receipts, check processing with clean approvals, and new leadership over its Accounts Payable function. The organization is also implementing a new ERP system with clear process flows and tight connections between transactions and the related backup.

Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. A break of at least five consecutive days was not excluded from the reported enrollment period for the Fall 2022 semester, which resulted in the calculation being incorrect for all students who had returns in the Fall 2022 semester. As a result of this condition, Return of Title IV calculations were incorrect for 60 students for the Fall 2022 semester, resulting in $10,459 less funds returned to the U.S. Department of Education. It is our understanding that on July 24, 2023, the College repaid the 60 students affected by this calculation error. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure the number of enrollment days used in the Return of Title IV calculations is accurate and that the R2T4 calculation is reviewed by a second individual. Corrective Action. Upon discovery of the Return of Title IV Calculation error, the College went through and made corrections to all student accounts affected. To prevent a similar problem arising in the future, the College has developed a review process that will require an additional sign‐off for the total days to be used in the calculation. Responsible Person. Ruth Carlson, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date. July 24, 2023.

FINDING 2023-002 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster - Eligibility Summary of Findings: An effective internal control system, which would include segregation of duties, was not in place at the School Corporation to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Eligibility compliance requirement. The free and reduced-price applications were completed online by the applicants, and the information was automatically uploaded into the School Corporation's nutrition program software system. The software system then calculated the student's eligibility for free and reduced-price meals based on the parameters in the system. There was no documented oversight, review, or approval process to ensure the parameters in the system were correct and that the eligibility determination made complied with the requirements of the programs. The lack of internal controls was a systematic issue throughout the audit period.
