Finding Number: 2022-005 Condition: An internal control was not in place to document that the current rates of pay were approved. During our testing of payroll for ALN 17.258, 17.259 and 17.278 - WIOA Cluster and ALN 17.207 Employment Services Cluster, we determined that actual pay was charged to the federal grants tested. However, there was no documentation (within personnel files or other means) to support that the rates of pay were approved. Planned Corrective Action: DESC was unable to locate evidence due to turnover with the HR department. We have hired a new Director of Human Resources (Director), who has implemented an employee filing system that incorporates up to date employee information and salary information. This information is noted in offer letters, promotion letters and salary increase letter. All payroll updates are required in writing to evidence approval of the Director of Human Resources and another executive team members authorization (President or CFO). This confidential information is stored in the Director?s locked office. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Calethia Binion, HR Director Anticipated Completion Date: 06/30/2023

FINDING 2022-005 Information on the federal program: Subject: COVID-19 ? Education Stabilization Fund ? Cash Management, Other Matters Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER II) Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Cash Management Audit Finding: Material Weakness, Noncompliance, Other Matters Condition: 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 cash management compliance requirements for the COVID-19 ? Education Stabilization Fund. Context: During our audit procedures, we noted that in fiscal year 2021, the School Corporation had drawn down $108,445 more in ESSER II funds than what they had expended. The School Corporation received $297,500 of ESSER II funds during fiscal year 2021, but had only disbursed $189,055. The School Corporation spent $107,361 of the remaining funds during fiscal year 2022 and had an ending balance of $1,084 as of June 30, 2022. The ESSER II grant is a cost reimbursement grant and therefore, the School Corporation should not have drawn down these funds prior to the expenses being incurred. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Superintendent and/or the Superintendent?s designees will not request funds from reimbursable grants before expenditures have been made by the corporation. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: The responsible parties are the Superintendent and/or the Superintendent?s designees. The corrective action will take place immediately (3/15/2023).

Internal Controls Federal Agency: Department of Agriculture Federal Program: School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program Assistance Listing Number: 10.553, 10.555 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Reporting Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: 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 reporting compliance requirement. Context: We noted that for two claims in a sample of four, there was no formal evidence of the sponsor claim reimbursement summary being reviewed by someone independent of who prepared the sponsor claim reimbursement summary prior to submission. We noted that for one claim in a sample of four, the meal counts were over/under claimed for the month. We noted that in October 2020 the School Corporation had overclaimed lunches by 175 meals and underclaimed breakfast by 156 meals. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Superintendent is now utilizing the personalized login on CNP Web to review claims before final submission. The superintendent will also email approval of claims to the FSMC Food Service Director upon submission and approval by the superintendent on CNP Web. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: The Superintendent and FSMC Food Service Director will be the responsible parties and the corrective action will take place immediately (3/15/2023).

FINDING 2022-002 Information on the federal program: Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster - Internal Controls Federal Agency: Department of Agriculture Federal Program: School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program Assistance Listing Number: 10.553, 10.555 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Allowable Costs/Cost Principles compliance requirements. Context: During testing of 12 vendor disbursements for allowable costs/cost principles, we noted there was one month where there was no documented review by the School Corporation?s Business Manager of expenditures paid to the Food Service Management Company by the School Corporation?s Business Manager. The only review was performed by the Food Services Director, who is a Food Service Management company employee. We tested six other monthly submissions of Food Service Management company disbursements and noted they were all appropriately reviewed by the School Corporation with supporting documentation attached. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The missing signature appears to be an uncommon oversight within our current system of internal controls. The Superintendent and FSMC Food Service Director will make it a point to review signature pages for both signatures at each monthly financial review. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Superintendent and FSMC Food Service Director discussed this finding on 3/15/2023 and will put corrective action in place immediately.

FINDINGS?FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS U.S. Small Business Administration 2022-001 Shuttered Venue Operations Grant ? Assistance Listing No. 59.075 Recommendation: We recommend management implement a process to ensure expenditures applied to the grant are net of all applicable credits (discounts). Carolina Ballet management?s opinion is there were no deficiencies in internal control over compliance around oversight of allowable expenditures allocated to the SVOG grant funding. The finding is not a result of intentional inclusion of non-allowable expenditures, or a lack of internal control or oversight of expenditures. Carolina Ballet acknowledges the line-item transaction included in the supporting detail provided to the auditors resulted in the finding stating supporting detail submitted by Carolina Ballet staff did not reflect a discount which was applied at the time of payment for the allowable expenditure. This occurred due to Carolina Ballet?s internal process of recording an anticipated early payment discount/credit for this specific vendor in QuickBooks as a separate transaction, which subsequently did not reflect the net amount of the payment in the system report exported and used for data extraction. Due to the early payment discount credit not being applied in the SVOG line-item calculations, Carolina Ballet?s supporting detail did not include an additional allowable expenditure of the same type to cover the discount credit inadvertently omitted. Carolina Ballet submitted documentation to the auditors supporting the fact additional allocable expenditures (reflecting net amount) were available for inclusion in the detail over the amount of the discount on the transaction. Regarding the Cause in the finding noted above: ?There was an internal control process in place executed by the previous accounting management during the period covered by the grant to monitor expenses and make purchases in accordance with the planned use for the grant funding and to ensure they were allowable. There is internal evidence of this including the fact that the Director of Accounting during the grant period provided oversight for outgoing payments and applicable credits at Carolina Ballet. This same general process continues to exist currently. ?The CEO of Carolina Ballet approved and signed off on all payments for the listed expenditures, including review of credits applied during the grant period. ?There was a calculation error of a line-item amount referred to in the finding due to exclusion of an early payment discount credit for this single expenditure in the detail, such that Carolina Ballet didn?t include an additional eligible and allowable expenditure under the grant funding. This was an error in the detail listing, not a lack of internal control processes over the grant funded expenditures and credits. There were other credits applied to this payment, that were appropriate for consideration as payment that should not have and were not applied to the expenditure amount. Action taken in response to finding: Carolina Ballet, Inc. going forward and retroactively for the current fiscal year will designate expenditures covered by external funding using the QB transaction Class field to ensure inclusion with any future data extraction and as an indication of review and approval for the source of funding. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Aji Touray, Director of HR and Accounting Vanessa Nelson, Controller Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Carolina Ballet, Inc. is currently updating the QuickBooks class for externally funded expenditures for the current fiscal year, and including this process in its internal control documentation. Completion date estimated to be April 10, 2023.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN OF CURRENT AUDIT FINDINGS June 30, 2022 Finding 2022-001 ? Child Nutrition Cluster ? Reporting Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Thomas McFarland Contact Phone Number: 574-342-2255 Views of Responsible Official: We do not concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: While the claim does not have a second signature indicating review before submission, the procedures that Triton follows, which include segregation of duties, justify that someone else reviewed the data, before submission. The data is compiled by the building secretary and submitted to the Business Manager. The Business Manager reviews the claim and logs into the online submission website with a secure user name and password to enter the data. While we believe that the secure user name and password is just as much proof as a signature that the data has been reviewed, we will begin having the document signed by a second person in order to satisfy this requirement Anticipated Completion Date: 3/15/23
