FINDING 2022-003 (Auditor Assigned Reference Number) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Monica Kegerreis, Assistant Superintendent Contact Phone Number: 574-831-2188 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: The ESSER reports requested by IDOE will follow the same procedures of all FER reports. The ?data collection? for the ESSER grants was not identified as a financial report, and thus did not follow these processes. Now that we know this is a financial report, the steps below will be followed. The grant was initially not set up correctly and expenses were expended to and then transferred to the correct accounts once the grants were set up correctly. These changes were in flux when the report was requested, so what was reported at the time of the report is no longer what is reflected in grants? ledgers. The corrective action will require that the program director gathers the initial data, the data will be reviewed by the administrative assistant to the grants? director, and then reviewed by the Treasurer. All three employees will sign/initial a printed copy of the report before it is submitted. Data regarding students served by programs and staff reports will be reviewed by the program director and the data specialist and signed off on by both parties to ensure accuracy.

There is not a mechanism to amend the portal submission and if given the opportunity management will correct it in a subsequent reporting period. Management has utilized lost revenues and infection control expenses in excess of the funding received in 2020 and 2021 and has maintained documentation of all eligible expenses and lost revenue calculations to support this assertion.

Action Taken on the Finding. Due to a prior finding, 2021-001, internal control procedures were updated and the FEMA assistance received was correctly reported in the Period 3 Provider Relief Fund Reporting Period. Even though the facility updated their internal control procedures they inadvertently failed to report the total amount of FEMA assistance received when reporting in the Period 4 Provider Relief Fund Reporting Period. It is noted that there is not a mechanism to amend the portal submission. Management will review their internal control procedures to enhance the review process of portal submissions. The facility did not inappropriately utilize funds and should not be at risk of having any funds returned to the Department of Health and Human Services. Management has maintained documentation of all eligible expenses and lost revenue calculations to support this assertion.

Finding 2022-005 Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution FFAL #93.498 Finding Summary: The review process for the Period 4 HHS report submitted did not detect the error reported regarding the actual reported revenues for 2019 that were incorrectly keyed into the portal submission. Additionally, the revenues for 2022 were reported based upon actual revenue billed and reported within the electronic medical records (EMR) system which does not include monthly or quarterly adjustments posted to the general ledger. Responsible Individuals: Amanda Soesbe, Chief Finance Officer Corrective Action Plan: There are no further PRF Portal submissions. The control aspect implemented to involve review of the portal submission will be expanded if further submissions are warranted. An expanded control would require the CFO to review in detail with the reviewer how the numbers were obtained and provide all supporting documentation for cross reference against the requirements.

Finding 2022-002 Federal Agency Name: Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Aid Cluster CFDA # 84.268 - Federal Direct Student Loans Special Tests and Provisions ? Return of Title IV Funds Finding Summary: 1 of 30 students tested for return of Title IV had a withdrawal determination date outside of the 30-day requirement. For a student who withdraws without providing notification from a school that is not required to take attendance, the school much determine the withdrawal date no later than 30 days after the end of the earlier of 1) the payment period or the period of enrollment, 2) the academic year, or 3) the student?s educational program. Responsible Individuals: Eric Schultz, Director of Enrollment and Marlene Seeklander, Director of Financial Aid Corrective Action Plan: The Registrar?s Office will take the following action: For all programs that have SOE/Internship/Clinical experiences, a roster will be generated, and the instructors will be required to verify that the student has been placed and is actively participating in the SOE/Internship/Clinical. Moving forward, this will be a reminder that is emphasized on a regular basis. At the instructor in-service sessions in August, the Director or Enrollment and Director of Financial Aid present a session which is a series of reminders and other important information that instructors need to know. While we already address the need to notify the Registration Office that a student is no longer attending, we plan to expand on that topic. We will include a slide with the audit finding as outlined so they can see the audit ramifications it has on LATC. We will also explain that this is an institutional responsibility, which includes all staff, all program instructors and all adjuncts. Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing

2022-003 COD Reporting Recommendation: We recommend the Academy evaluate its procedures and policies around reporting disbursements to COD to ensure that student information is reported accurately and timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: FA staff will research and receive more training on how to audit dates between our internal records system (CNS) and COD, and if adjustments are needed, how to correctly apply adjustments to disbursement dates. When disbursing Pell, FA staff will check through the expected dates (disbursement dates) in our system before exporting the Pell request to COD. In the event dates need adjusting after Pell has be received, the dates will be updated in CNS (Summit?s records system) prior to applying. The dates will also be checked, and if necessary, updated on COD to ensure they match, and both systems reflect the accurate disbursement date.

Finding #2022-001 ? Limited Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2021-001) Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the following control areas: payroll, cash receipts, and cash disbursements. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected on a timely basis. Cause: Due to the small size of the District there is only one person in the bookkeeping department, who records all transactions and performs reconciliations. 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 due to the size of our District and financial constraints 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 of Education and Administration personnel review monthly treasurer reports, and approve disbursements monthly. Any concerns or questions are addressed throughout the year. Management will review various accounting functions periodically. Contact Person: Mitch Wainwright Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable

FINDING 2022-003: COVID-19 ? Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds ? Internal Controls Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Clerk-Treasurer Richard Aguirre Contact Phone Number: (574) 533-8623 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: To enhance internal controls, the City of Goshen Clerk-Treasurer?s Office has identified and segregated duties related to the preparation of the Schedule of Federal Awards (SEFA). Using the checklist from the SBOA as a reference, an internal checklist has been created to use for annual review of the policies and procedures. For this year in particular, a revisiting of the policies and procedures is necessary to address and clarify segregation of duties, both for internal and external purposes. The design, including segregation of duties, exists between the Clerk-Treasurer, Deputy Clerk-Treasurer, and the Grants Manager. However, the reporting procedures can be improved, specifically in how implementation generates verifiable proof and documentation. What is cited below is more of a ?retroactive finding? from 2021, since SBOA did not audit these funds previously. There also had been a series of difficulties with the Treasury portal; by the time the system was corrected, the reports were submitted. Regarding the procedures, the City of Goshen undertook data entry, review, and submission using three different individuals, and there is evidence of this review that has not been acknowledged by the SBOA. The review and oversight process, however, is being improved in light of this new finding. The revision of policies will more effectively articulate the steps that effect internal control and ensure consistent implementation. To ensure the accuracy of Project and Expenditure Reports prior to submission to the U.S. Department of Treasury, the preparer will email the reviewer when a report is ready for review. The reviewer will respond to the email when the information is reviewed and include any errors noted that need to be corrected. This email correspondence will be kept and provided to state auditors. The City also will maintain an approval sheet indicating that the review of the report has been completed and the reviewer will sign and date the approval sheet and note any errors found during the review. Anticipated Completion Date: This process should be reviewed and ready by the next SEFA preparation, in January 2024. ? Completed and submitted to the State Board of Accounts, Aug. 29, 2023
