Finding 2022-001 ? Special Tests and Provisions ? Internal Control Over Compliance ? Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Material Noncompliance Issue: A missing application from the audit sample was shredded in error before being scanned into the patient?s Electronic Health Records (EHR) chart, resulting in a documentation gap. Objective: To prevent the recurrence of missing sliding fee applications by implementing a revised process that ensures all applications are properly documented and stored in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) system. Corrective Action Plan: Reception staff will continue to manage applications and supporting documentation, but once an application is complete and scanned to the patient?s chart, it will be stamped ?SCANNED? and passed to the Accounts and Benefits Specialist (ABS). The ABS will verify that the packet has been added to the patient?s EHR chart and the correct slide is placed on the account. Only application packets that are stamped ?SCANNED? will be shredded by the ABS. If the packet is not stamped, another review will be done by ABS to ensure a complete record in EHR prior to shredding. All incomplete applications will continue to be kept in a physical file by reception staff with date stamps and notes of what documentation is missing. Once an application is complete it will follow the steps outlined above. Expected Completion Date: Fiscal Year 2023

Criteria: Internal controls should be in place that provide adequate segregation of duties and reduce overlapping accounting functions, especially in cash receipts and disbursements. In addition, those functions should be segregated from those overseeing overall finances. Cause: The District has determined that hiring additional staff to perform separate accounting duties would be too costly and not an effective use of resources. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected on a timely basis. Recommendation: The District should be aware of the need for separation of duties and provide for as much separation of duties as feasible in the circumstances. Response: Management of the District is aware that the current number of accounting staff does not allow for full segregation of duties. Segregation of duties is enhanced whenever possible and the Board of Education and management assumes an active roll through monthly review of receipts and disbursements and monthly financial reports. The Superintendent and Business Manager are in constant communication regarding the District?s finances. The Superintendent is not involved in processing day to day financial transactions.

CHILD AND ADULT CARE FOOD PROGRAM U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE - FOOD AND NUTRITION - 2022 PASSED THROUGH ARIZONA STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION GRANT NUMBER 6AZ300003 CLIENT RESPONSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN We concur with the condition. 1. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Katie O'Neill, Director 2. Corrective action planned: a. For 2 of 40 providers files tested, menus were clerically inaccurate and did not support the meals claimed. The Area Coordinators will be retrained to double check their meal counting on their menus at least once before they submit their meal counts and one time after they submit their meal counts. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section D, #6. b. For 1 of 40 provider files tested, meals were claimed for the provider's own child, when the provider was not eligible for free/reduced price meals. The menu reader must use the most current "Claiming Own" report while they are menu reading. The income applications have to be approved by the Assistant Director or Director prior to the menus being read. The menu reader will use this list, as well as the Master List when reading the menus. The Area Coordinators will be retrained to ensure that the provider who is claiming their own children qualify to do so. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section C, #5. c. For 2 of 40 provider files tested meals were claimed when the provider's children were the only children present. This occurred when the day care children were disallowed. The Area Coordinators will be re-trained to disallow the day care providers own children when meals are disallowed for all of the day care children. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section C, #5. d. For 1 of 40 provider files tested, meals were claimed outside of the current claim month. The Area Coordinators will be re-trained to disallow meals on the front end or the back end of the month. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section B, #2. e. For 1 of 40 provider files tested, meals were claimed when the child was not indicated as being present for the meal. The times in and out were not on the day that was claimed. The Area Coordinators will be re-trained to disallow meals when the time in and outs are not written on the menu. See 8 J Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section C, #4. f. For 1 of 40 provider files tested, meals were claimed when no menu components were listed on the menu. The Area Coordinators will be re-trained to disallow meals when thy have no components listed on the menu. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section B, #3. All of the menu mistakes were on paper menus. We are encouraging everyone to start claiming on computerized menus (KidKare) because there are less or no mistakes on those menus. 3.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE ? FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, EMERGENCY CONNECTIVITY FUND PROGRAM ? FEDERAL ALN 32.009 2022-002 Internal Control Over Compliance With Special Tests and Provisions Finding Summary 47 CFR ? 54.1711 requires that the District only seek support for eligible equipment provided to students and school staff who would otherwise lack connected devices sufficient to engage in remote learning. During our audit, we noted the District did not have sufficient controls in place within its Emergency Connectivity Fund Program to assure compliance with federal special tests and provisions requirements. We noted that the District requested federal reimbursement for purchased technology devices prior to those devices being used or deployed, and thus not yet meeting the definition of eligible equipment for which the District could seek reimbursement. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned ? The finding resulted from a timing issue caused by unfamiliarity with a new federal program. The District subsequently deployed all devices for which it was reimbursed to students in accordance with the unmet needs defined and approved in its award applications. The District understands the applicable guidance and will ensure that future reimbursement requests under the Emergency Connectivity Fund Program will not be made until after the equipment has been placed in service. Official Responsible ? Director of Finance and Operations, Christopher Kampa. Planned Completion Date ? March 31, 2023. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding ? The District is in agreement with this finding. Plan to Monitor ? The District?s Director of Finance and Operations, Christopher Kampa, will assure appropriate internal controls are in place to verify future compliance with special tests and provisions requirements for the Emergency Connectivity Fund Program.
