FINDING 2021-007 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Reporting Summary of Finding: Material Weakness, Other Matters The County did not have an effective internal control system to ensure compliance with the Reporting compliance requirement. Recipients were required to submit a one-time Interim report to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury). The County submitted the required interim report during the audit period. The County's process for the completion and submission of the Interim Report was that the County Auditor prepared the Interim Report based on the County's records, without a proper oversight or review process in place prior to submission. The Interim Report was determined to be materially misstated. The County understated the December 31, 2019, Base Year Revenues by $660,302.

FINDING 2021-006 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Suspension and Debarment Summary of Finding: Material Weakness, Modified Opinion An effective internal control system, which would include segregation of duties, was not in place at the County in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the procurement and suspension and debarment compliance requirement. Prior to entering into subawards and covered transactions with Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF), SLFRF funds, recipients are required to verify that contractors and subrecipients are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded. Upon inquiring of the County to determine its policies and procedures related to suspension and debarment requirements for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF), SLFRF funds, the County stated procedures were not in place to ensure vendors were not suspended or debarred prior to entering into covered transactions. The County had not performed procedures to ensure the vendors were not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded or disqualified from participation in federal assistance programs or activities during the audit period on 100% of the applicable two vendors that were paid with SLFRF Funds. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Timothy Stabosz Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 219-326-6808 x2226 tstabosz@laporteco.in.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding.

We will also add language to bid and/or contracts to require vendors to supply proof of being in good standing with the federal government.

We agree with the finding and was primarily due to understaffing and turnover followed by additional staffing challenges during and post COVID 19 pandemic of 2020. Specifically, the program director position had multiple turnovers from 2019 to August 2023, when the current director assumed this role. Since August 2023, the new program director has initiated the integration of training sessions, instructional guides, and additional resources, alongside policy enhancements, to ensure that every WIC participant requiring a nutritional education care plan has it meticulously documented. Presently, we conduct daily audits of charts/files to mitigate instances of incomplete nutritional education care plans on a daily basis. We are presently investigating alternative opportunities to enhance our existing documentation of nutrition care plans, with a focus on improved identification based on appointment types to make up for some shortcomings in the system software used for WIC.

We agree with the findings 2021-001, 2021-003, and 2021-004, and acknowledge that this issue has been previously identified in past audits. The repeat occurrence was primarily due to understaffing and turnover within the finance, WIC, CCDF, Head Start, FVPP, and WIC departments, followed by additional staffing challenges during and post COVID 19 pandemic of 2020. In addition to the Corrective Action Planned related to Finding 2020-101, with respect to the WIC, CCDF, Head Start and FVPP programs, the Executive Director has required additional training for the Program Directors on internal controls, and relevant fiscal and administrative grant training following review of the prior repeat audit findings. We have been implementing collaboration between program directors and fiscal staff to improve overall compliance for grant funds, including budgeting, reporting, policies and procedures and processes. Anticipated Completion Date: On-going – Final Grants Management Document expected to be presented and adopted by the ITCN executive board by September 30, 2025. The Final FY 2021 Financial Statements, including the Corrective Action Planned will be presented to the executive board and program directors for overview. The Executive Director will be responsible for on-going communication and engagement to improve internal controls, and regularly scheduling meetings for status updates on the Corrective Action Planned and review quarterly reports. Beginning January 2022, we have developed and drafted a grants management handbook as a resource for program and fiscal staff. As we continue to make improvements and amendments to internal processes and policies and procedures, the grants management will be updated, with a final copy presented to the Executive Board for adoption and approval.
