CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN March 29, 2023 Montgomery County, VA respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Brown, Edwards & Company, L.L.P. 3906 Electric Road Roanoke, VA 24018 Audit period: June 30, 2022 The findings from the June 30, 2022 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (the ?Schedule?) are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the Schedule. FINDINGS ? FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT 2022-001: Segregation of Duties (Material Weakness) Condition: A proper segregation of duties has not been established in functions related to payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash disbursements, and financial reporting. Criteria: A fundamental concept of internal controls is the separation of duties. No one employee should have access to both physical assets and the related accounting records, or to all phases of a transaction. Cause: The size of the County?s account staff and cost/benefit to minimize conflicting duties prohibits complete adherence to segregation of duties. Effect: A lack of segregation of duties exposes the County and School Board to a heightened risk of misappropriation. Recommendation: Steps should be taken to eliminate performance of conflicting duties, where possible, or to implement effective compensating controls. Corrective Action: The County and School Board have taken all steps deemed practical and cost beneficial to minimize conflicting duties. FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS ? MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT 2022-002: SNAP Cluster ? State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program ? ALN #10.561, Eligibility Compliance Requirement impacted ? Eligibility Condition: Social Services did not verify the social security number for a household member in one out of twenty five applications selected for testing which were used to determine eligibility and benefit levels. Criteria: Under the requirements in the Uniform Guidance, social security numbers for all household members are required to be verified when applying for SNAP benefits. Cause: Social Services typically verifies all social security numbers for all household members included in the application for benefits, however, one household member was overlooked during the verification process. Effect: The lack of proper social security number verification could result in improper use of on an ineligible individual. Questioned Costs: None Perspective Information: One individual was not verified on one application out of twenty-five household applications selected. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: Management should implement a procedure to ensure that social security numbers for all household members are properly verified. Corrective Action: Social Services will put into place a procedure to ensure that all social security numbers are verified during the eligibility determination process. If the Federal Audit Clearinghouse has questions regarding this plan, please call Lisa Rayne, Finance Director at (540) 382-6960 for finding 2022-001 and Kelly Edmonson, Social Services Director at (540) 382-6990 for finding 2022-002.

Finding 2022-001: Time and effort reporting Department of Education Passed through the New York State Department of Education 84.027, 84.173 Special Education Cluster Condition/Criteria: Under 2 CFR 200.430, Uniform Guidance requires that payroll systems must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed and are supported by a system of internal controls that provides reasonable assurances that charges are accurate; allowable and reasonable; and properly allocated. Although the District does have a process to track time and effort within the grants, the District did not have proper reporting performed during the school year for teachers that were tested under the grant. Their internal controls failed to detect the lack of reporting performed. Context: A sample of 2 out of 11 employees were haphazardly selected for testing. This was not a statistically valid sample. Cause. The District does not currently have records that support time and effort for teachers under the grant. Effect? The District is not in compliance with time and effort reporting. Recommendation: We recommend the District examine the control procedures in place related to this area and ensure they are designed sufficiently for the District to meet the requirement of 2 CFR 200.430 under Uniform Guidance. Action Taken: Starting September 2022, any staff member who is either fully or partially compensated from a grant has signed a monthly statement noting the hours worked, percentage of his or her FTE funded, and the grant source. This statement is also signed by his or her supervisor.

Those cases are then individually reviewed for 13 LSC designated errors, in a process called Self Inspection. The resulting information is collected and reported to LSC as part of Ongoing Compliance Oversight. Finally, the Organization must submit a Self-Inspection Certification and Summary Form which lists the number of cases where errors were identified. This process allows the organization to identify trends and make adjustments to protocols and training on an annual basis . The Organization has put in place all necessary protocols to ensure compliance with LSC regulations regarding assessing and documenting client eligibility. Ongoing training and oversight will be provided to intake staff and caseworkers throughout the year to ensure compliance. Responsible Person: Emma Sisti Date of Completion: December 31, 2023

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).

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.
