Finding 2022-01 - Segregation of Duties Condition: Due to the limited number of personnel, a segregation of certain accounting functions was not possible. Criteria: The District continues to establish procedures that would ensure proper segregation of certain accounting functions, especially, to limit the functions of recording, authorizing and custody. Effect: As a result, during the audit period, operation of procedures might not have allowed management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. Cause: The District has limited resources and personnel in the responsibilities and business function. Recommendation: We recommend that the Board of Trustees continue to monitor the internal accounting control procedures in use to assure that compensating controls are being utilized to provide assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are proper and recorded in a timely manner. These actions would mitigate, but not eliminate the risk of misstatement or misappropriation. Response: The Board of Trustees will continue to be an active participant in the internal control with a supervisory and review function for the financial management.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE ? U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, PASSED THROUGH MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, SPECIAL EDUCATION CLUSTER ? FEDERAL ALN 84.027 AND 84.173 2022-001 Internal Control Over Compliance With Federal Suspension and Debarment Requirements Finding Summary 2 CFR ? 180 requires Independent School District No. 284 (the District) to establish and maintain effective internal control over compliance with requirements applicable to federal program expenditures, including suspension and debarment requirements applicable to the special education cluster federal program. The District did not have sufficient controls in place within its special education cluster federal program to assure that it was not contracting for goods or services with parties that are suspended or debarred, or whose principals are suspended or debarred from participating in contracts involving the expenditures of federal program funds. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned ? The District will review policies and procedures relating to suspension and debarment for its federal programs and will ensure that all parties with which it contracts for goods or services are eligible to participate in contracts involving the expenditures of federal program funding. Official Responsible ? The District?s Controller, Jill Schwint. Planned Completion Date ? June 30, 2023 Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding ? The District agrees with this finding. Plan to Monitor ? The District?s Controller, Jill Schwint, will ensure appropriate controls are in place to verify that any vendor with which the District contracts for federal program goods or services exceeding $25,000 is not listed as suspended or debarred on the federal Excluded Parties List System website.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Spartanburg County, South Carolina respectively submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022: Name and address of independent accounting firm: Halliday, Schwartz & Co. 824 East Main St. Spartanburg, SC 29302 Audit period: June 30, 2022 The findings from the June 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Section III: Federal Awards Findings Finding 2022-001: US Department of Treasury Emergency Rental Assistance Program CFDA Number: 21.023 Grant Award Number : Multiple Awards Compliance Requirement: Allowable Costs Type of Finding: Significant deficiency in internal control over compliance Criteria: In the US Department of Treasury Reporting Guidance - Emergency Rental Assistance Program, page 34, it requires recipients to provide a current performance narrative of 2,000 words or less describing the performance and accomplishments of the subject ERA project over the reporting period (which is quarterly). The narrative must include the following information: ? Activities implemented and notable achievements over the calendar quarter ? Activities planned for next quarter ? Notable challenges and status of each challenge ? Details on compliance/non-compliance issues and mitigation plans ? Requests for additional assistance or guidance from Treasury ? Other information, as appropriate. Condition: While the County complied with all other aspects of reporting for the program, the County did not comply with the performance reporting requirement noted above. This section of the quarterly reports submitted to Treasury were marked "N/A", and therefore lacked the required elements as listed above. Questioned Costs: None Context: As this is a new federal program (this is the second reporting year), the guidance from Treasury changed often. We observed that efforts were made to comply with reporting requirements, and this appeared to be an oversight. The quarterly reports were accepted by Treasury, with no further follow-up from them. Effect or Potential Effect: The effect of the noncompliance noted above is that it increases risk for action by the federal agency for contract noncompliance. Cause: Misunderstanding of grant contract performance reporting requirement. Recommendation: We recommend that the responsible report preparer create a template with the required reporting elements for the narrative portion. Each quarter the template can be updated with the appropriate wording, as required. In the User Guide - Treasury's Portal for Recipient Reporting, page 54, it suggests typing the information directly on screen or upload a document via the "upload fi les" functionality on the website. We recommend this process begin with the first quarterly report filed in 2023, since all previously filed reports were accepted online and cannot be changed.

2022-001: Late Return of Title IV Financial Aid - Student Financial Aid Cluster ? Assistance Listing #s 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 - Grant Period - Year Ended June 30, 2022 Condition Found During our Return of Title IV Fund testing, we noted that the College did not calculate or return Title IV Student Financial Aid for two out of twenty-five students tested until after 45 days when the student ceased attendance. We consider the untimely calculation and Return of Title IV Student Financial Aid to be an instance of noncompliance relating to the Special Tests and Provisions Compliance Requirement. Corrective Action Plan The Financial Aid Department has developed a timeline in which Return of Title IV will be performed that will not interfere with the awarding and disbursing of funds within McHenry County College?s processing system. To ensure that there is no system generated issues while awarding and disbursing funds, Return of Title IV will be completing after this has been performed for the day allowing for clean interaction. The Financial Aid Department will also have a review of the student?s accounts for funds being returned after the calculation has been performed and fund processing has taken place.

Finding No. 2022-002: Annual Audit Submission Assistance Listing Program Title and Number: All Federal Agency: All Pass-through Entity: All Description of Finding: As per the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 200.512 - Report Submission, the audit must be completed and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors? report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. The due date for the submission was March 31, 2023. The audit and reporting package were not submitted by the due date March 31, 2023. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The Connection, Inc. agrees with these findings. Since October 2021, the finance department has turned over 75% of the accounting staff. These COVID resignations included two senior staff with a collective 25 years of historical knowledge. Due to the difficulty in filling these open positions and then the steep learning curve once filled, our backlog of work created significant delays in monthly reporting, which then led to delays in providing requested audit information. Corrective Action: The Connection, Inc. has instituted a comprehensive program whereby all finance department functions are cross trained with at least one other functional area to mitigate the impact of any one individual leaving the organization. We have also brought on a consultant to assist with the preparation of a detailed manual outlining the processes for all key functions performed and to evaluate current processes and practices for grants management, internal controls, financial reporting, and succession planning within the department. Name of Contact Person: Steve Abshire, Chief Financial Officer, 860-343-5500 x1110, skabshire@theconnectioninc.org will be responsible for completing the corrective action plan. Projected Completion Date: The anticipated date for completion of the corrective action plan is December 1, 2023. The corrective plan and its progress will be reviewed monthly until completed.
