Contact Person: Steven Schissler, Interim Director Student Accounts Corrective Action: The University has experienced instability of personnel in the Student Accounts are which has caused inconsistencies in the review process for credit balances. A new analyst started in October 2022 and credit balances are currently being reviewed for multiple terms, which will ensure that late disbursements and account adjustments for prior terms are incorporated into the review process for credit balances. In addition, GCU will change the timing of disbursements to limit the account adjustments that will occur after disbursements take place. Additionally, an upgrade the student accounts computing system should increase reporting capability to better comply with regulations regarding return of credit balances. This upgrade is expected to be in place by June 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: June 1, 2023

Finding #2022-001 - Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2021-001) Condition: Proper segregation of duties is an important aspect of any control system. Management is responsible for the design, installation and maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control. The limited size of the District?s office staff prevents the ideal segregation of functions. The following duties lack adequate segregation of duties: The District uses e-signatures to approve purchase orders. Two individuals have access to the e-signatures and have the ability to create new vendors, enter invoices, print checks, record journal entries and record activity on the general ledger. Both individuals also have access to the payroll system. The person reviewing free and reduced food service eligibility can also enter information into the system to determine eligibility. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities as a result of the lack of segregation of duties. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Criteria: Segregation of duties is an aspect of internal control intended to prevent or decrease opportunities of intentional and unintentional errors and fraud. Duties and responsibilities are properly segregated if no single individual either has control over all phases of a transaction or has the ability to both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Recommendation: The Board of Education and the Superintendent should continue to monitor the transactions and the financial records of the District. We also encourage the District to continue to identify cost effective opportunities to improve the design of the internal control structure. Response: We agree with this finding but 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 Superintendent approves purchase orders and the Board of Education approves monthly accounts payable checks, and one of the school secretaries or the board treasurer reviews the bank reconciliations. The Board of Education and Superintendent will continue to monitor transactions of the District.

Identifying Number: 2022-003 Finding: During discussion, observations, and our understanding of internal control, we observed the District followed the State of Missouri's guidelines for construction projects, which states that public works projects valued at $75,000 and under are not subject to prevailing wage regardless of federal funding source. Two of the seven construction contracts paid with federal assistance funds that were below $75,000, but in excess of the applicable $2,000 federal threshold, did not have prevailing wage rate clauses. Question costs - $13,420. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Procurement and Facilities/Operations Department will update procedures and provide additional training of staff of the Davis Bacon Act requirements. The training of staff, updating of procedures is underway, and anticipated to be completed by January 31, 2023. The two vendors have been contacted. The District will collect documentation from the vendors and calculate any differential due. The contact person responsible for the corrective action is Erin Thompson, Interim Chief Finance & Operations Officer. The District will revise Board Policy FEF-2 Construction Contracts Bidding and Awards. The contact person is William Thornton, Chief Legal Officer. It is anticipated to be completed by March 31, 2023.

2022-003 - Eligibility ? Tenant Files Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers ? CFDA Number 14.871 Material Weakness in Internal Control, Material Noncompliance Repeat of 9/30/21 Finding 2021-005 (Originally reported as finding 2020-005 at 09/30/20) Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 884 leased vouchers, 25 files were selected for testing in a statistically valid sample. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 error where the lease agreement was not signed by the owner ? 1 error where the file did not contain a signed lease agreement ? 1 error where the file did not contain a signed HAP contract. Also, during our New Admissions testing (11 tested out of 108 new admissions) we noted the following: ? 1 error where the HAP contract was signed but not dated by the Authority. ? 1 error where the lease agreement was not signed by the owner. ? 4 errors where the RFTA was signed but not dated by the landlord and/or by the tenant. Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority has hired an outside CPA firm to conduct quarterly reviews of files and to assist in training staff on HUD compliance requirements. The noted deficiencies in the tested files are being corrected and staff will continue to receive adequate training involving the compliance of all the Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) requirements.

2022-004 - Eligibility ? Tenant Files Public and Indian Housing Program ? CFDA Number 14.850 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control, Other Matters Required to be Reported Repeat of 9/30/21 Finding 2021-003 (originally reported at 9/30/19 as Finding 2019-009) Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 141 tenants, 15 files were selected for testing in a statistically valid sample. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s flat rent was overstated by $4 due to a miscalculation. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s flat rent was overstated by $2 due to a miscalculation. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s income was miscalculated. Correcting this error caused the tenant?s rent to increase by $6. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s income was miscalculated. Correcting this error caused the tenant?s rent to decrease by $63 ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s General Assistance was coded as wages on the 50058 form. Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority has hired an outside CPA firm to conduct quarterly reviews of files and to assist in training staff on HUD compliance requirements. The noted deficiencies in the tested files are being corrected. Although this is a repeat finding, the Authority has made great strides in the current fiscal year reducing the error rate by 72% from the prior year. The Authority will continue to improve file reviews and training procedures to ensure the files meet the required guidelines. Effective Date: June 26, 2023 Contact Information Chanosha N.E.

As of September 30, 2022, approximately $209,000 of PIH loans remain outstanding to related parties and approximately $127,000 to other programs of the Authority. Recommendation: Management of the Authority should continue to pursue collections of these amounts. Action Taken: The Authority understands and adheres to the federal guidelines to ensure that restricted funds are not advanced to other related parties or programs. Management is actively pursuing collection efforts.

2022-001 - Inadequate Controls Over Financial Reporting Public and Indian Housing Program ? CFDA 14.850 Material Weakness in Internal Control, Material Noncompliance Repeat of 9/30/21 Finding 2021-001 (originally reported at 9/30/19 as Finding 2019-004) Condition: Our audit identified deficiencies in the design and/or operation of internal controls that adversely affected the Authority?s ability to produce reliable financial statements. As a result, more than fifty audit adjustments and reclassifications were proposed that resulted in material changes to financial statement amounts as follows: ? Total assets increased by $358,336 ? Total liabilities increased by $227,891 ? Total equity decreased by $257,671 ? Total revenue increased by $81,191 ? Total expenses decreased by $306,925 Recommendation: We recommend the Authority adopt policies and procedures that require timely financial reporting at the end of each month and fiscal year end. The procedures should include a full review of the balances as of the close of the year with reconciliations and workpapers prepared and agreed to supporting information. In order to accomplish this, the Authority should provide additional training to its accounting personnel. During the fiscal year, the Authority was assisted by an independent outside fee accountant with the monthly accounting and the closing of its year-end accounting for the federal programs, but was not involved with the other programs of the Authority. We recommend that the Authority also engage the fee accountant with the other programs of the Authority. Action Taken: During fiscal year 2022, the Authority hired an outside CPA firm to assist with the financial statements for the Public and Indian Housing Program and Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. Although the finding continues in the current year, the Authority has made great strides to clean up the financial statements of the programs mentioned, reducing the material adjustment effect on equity by 61% from the prior period. The Authority will continue to improve efficiency and procedures/workpapers to ensure the year-end closing procedures become more effective and reliable in the coming years.

2022-002 FINDING: Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Question Cost: None noted Not considered a material weakness Response: Crazy Horse School Business Office staff will follow auditors? recommendation. The Business Manager will determine the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards and related footnotes are free of material misstatement and the audit package is filed timely. The most effective controls lie in the management and the Board of Education?s knowledge of the School?s financial operations. Supervision and review functions will be done continually during all phases of the accounting cycle. Cross training with the Business Office staff will continue to be done. The Business Manager will continue to assist with disclosure information and approve any adjusting entries to the trial balance. She reviews and approves all draft and final copies of the financial statements including disclosures. In light of the guidance of SAS 115, the Business Manager will continue additional and continuing training for herself as well as the designated staff. The goal is still to provide training in government financial reporting and current reporting standards to enable management to continue to take the responsibility for the statements and disclosures. The school will continue their implantation of their new financial policies and take steps to ensure they are being followed. All expenditures will continue to be reviewed to ensure they are properly documented, coded, and the expenditures are allowable for the grant. Review of paychecks will continue to include recalculation of hours on timesheets and leave accrual calculation. With the continue Covid closures, weather closures, and my sickness (cancer) this past year has made is very difficult at times to get things done in a timely matter. We will continue to improve and hope to have a better year. This school?s financial stability is better than it has been for years with a clean opinion and no question costs. We will continue to improve, with our outstanding business office staff, and we will continue to make sure we are on top of the internal controls daily.

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 control areas reviewed. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected on a timely basis. Cause: The condition is due to limited staff available. Criteria: Internal controls should be in place that provide adequate segregation of duties. Generally, a system of internal control contemplates separation of duties such that no individual has responsibility to execute a transaction, have physical access to the related assets, and have responsibility or authority to record the transaction. 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 and continue to work to achieve segregation of duties whenever cost effective. The cash disbursements process includes approval of purchase orders and matching of approved purchase orders with invoices. Review of account coding is performed by the district accounting staff. The payroll disbursement process includes approval of timesheets and review of coding on an ongoing basis. The Board of Education reviews budget to actual information along with disbursement information on a monthly basis. Contact Person: Lisa Wallin-Kapinus Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable
