Finding #2023-001 - Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2022-001) Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the control areas reviewed. 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. Cause: A small number of individuals within the District's administration perform substantially all accounting functions and have control over both records and assets. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected 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 and will continue to provide supervision and monitor accounting information and operations, obtain explanations for variances from unexpected results and work to increase segregation of duties. The Assistant to the Business Manager will continue to clear checks in Skyward as part of the bank reconciliation process. The District Administrator will review and initial all journal entries.

The School Board Administration Building (SBAB),Cooling Tower Replacement project 02190000 was originally funded using Comprehensive Needs for the Design Phase. When the project was ready to commence to the construction phase it was decided to fund this phase with ESSER Funds. Subsequently, the contractor was not advised this project was subject to Davis Bacon requirements. All other projects reviewed did adhere to the Davis Bacon prevailing wages and certified payroll. We consider the SBAB Project to be an isolated incident. Moving forward, we have changed our procedures hen requesting project numbers. The requestor must identify the funding source and include a note in the project description when requesting project numbers. We have also updated our Contracting Software so that projects funded with ESSER Funds are identified at the beginning of the project. These procedures will prevent this from occurring in the future.

Nonfederal entities are to include in their construction contracts subject to the Wage Rate Requirements a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with these requirements and the DOL regulations. This would include a requirement to submit a copy of the payroll and statement of compliance to the entity for each week in which contract work was performed. Context: The School Corporation had not designed, nor implemented a system of internal control to ensure that construction contracts in excess of $2,000 paid from federal grant funds included a prevailing wage rate clause. One construction contract, totaling $4,000,000 was paid from the Education Stabilization Fund grant funds during the audit period. The single contract was tested and it did not contain the required prevailing wage rate clause. Additionally, certified payrolls were not obtained until after the School Corporation was issued an ESSER Construction Monitoring Report in late 2023. The School Corporation only obtained "sample" of certified payrolls and did not obtain all of the certified payrolls for the work performed within the grant period. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Chief Financial Officer and Grant Director will ensure that all future construction contracts contain the prevailing wage rate clause required by the program. Additionally, the Chief Financial Officer will review and approve all certified payrolls and compliance statements submitted by contractors and subcontractors in order to ensure compliance with the program.

Context: A number of transfer adjustments were made during the audit period from Corporation fund 7923 (ESSER III) to fund 7941 (CARES Ed Stabilization). These transfers were made move payroll disbursement activity for reimbursement. Support for these adjustments was traced to School Corporation’s records to verify the Gross Payroll activity moved for all but one transaction, which totaled $27,824. The supporting documentation for this transaction exceeded the amount of the transaction. Inquiry with School Corporation officials and review of the documentation determined that the amount transferred in this transaction was based on the remaining grant budget amounts in the grant fund 7941. The transaction was not based on actual payroll disbursements as all other transfer adjustments were. The $27,824 without supporting documentation is considered questioned costs. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: For future transfers of payroll disbursements, both the Treasurer and Grant Director will ensure that the amount transferred corresponds to actual, documented payroll expenses and not an aggregate salary and/or benefit expenditure.

First, an effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Eligibility compliance requirement. Second, The School Corporation has established a process of receiving and reviewing the listing of students from the Private Schools in order to be entered into the Title I application. However, the internal controls were determined not effective since the School Corporation only requested to receive eligible students listing and not enrolled students. Context: The School Corporation has not established a process of review of the Eligibility Summary in the Title I application for the student enrollment and poverty. Real time report October 1 count is used for the eligibility summary in the Title I application. Additionally, the examiner could not determine if the enrolled private school number was correct because the School Corporation did not request the information. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Title I Director will review and sign off on the Real Time October 1 report to ensure that the student enrollment and poverty numbers reconcile with what is submitted in the Eligibility Summary. Additionally, the Title I Director will solicit both eligible and total enrollment figures from private schools that wish to participate in Title I.
