CONDITION (Continued): As a result, the financial position and results of operations as shown throughout the calendar year were inaccurately stated. However, it should be noted that the Community Development Department of the City and other City personnel maintain separate financial reporting for these federal funds, independent of the aforementioned ‘Fund’ general ledgers sufficient to ascertain the revenues and expenditures of the federal programs. CRITERIA: Prudent internal control procedures in the areas of general ledger management and financial reporting include the reconciliation of all general ledger account balances to underlying supporting documentation monthly with independent oversight and approval as part of the process. In specific as it relates to federal programs, Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance requires that federal costs must be adequately documented which would include the applicable general ledgers of the City. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: Management of the City will review the recommended options as presented by the Audit Firm’s recommendation for feasibility considering current manpower, expertise, and budgetary constraints. In addition, the City plans to ensure that written procedures for all accounting functions are implemented, reviewed and updated as necessary with the objective of ensuring that all balance sheet account balances are supported by the underlying documentation available at the City. The timeframe for completion of this review will occur during the first nine months of calendar year 2025 with the intention of having the City be in full compliance with Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance which requires federal costs to be adequately documented which would include the applicable general ledgers of the City.

Persons responsible for corrective action: Bob Harmon, Superintendent Corrective Action: For a significant portion of the 2021 fiscal year the Quileute Tribe implemented an emergency order as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The School was subject to this emergency order and operations were limited to essential staff and activities. Due to the limited staff reports were not always documented or certified. Further, prior to the emergency order key positions in the finance and administration departments were vacant. Currently all finance and administrative positions are staffed. Training will be provided to staff responsible for Federal reporting. Implementation date: June 30, 2025

Recommendation: NCPE should have internal controls in place for the retention of federal program records. NCPE should also have procedures in place to allow for the review of an individual’s eligibility to receive a federal award. Response: NCPE’s Executive Committee hired a new manager in 2017 to create, track, and retain important records to comply with the terms and conditions of federal agreements. In addition to the application form completed by all interns, an award letter was introduced in 2019. The Award Letter is sent by the National Park Service (NPS) site supervisor to the successful candidate, with NCPE copied, to confirm their appointment and provide essential details about the internship like duration, rate of pay, location, paid time off, etc. This letter with the completed application form documents an intern's eligibility to participate in the program for a specific duration and rate of pay. For the current audit, applications or resumes were missing for 1 of the interns sampled and an award letter was missing for 1 intern. It was this lack of documentation that resulted in the questioned costs. Requiring a completed application has been a standard practice for several years but this wasn’t always the case when students applied directly to a site supervisor and not through the online application at PreserveNet (NCPE’s website for preservationists and preservation resources). Site supervisors are now regularly reminded about the program’s eligibility requirement, however, and management is confident that these interns, and all future interns, met the criteria for participation in the program. Nevertheless, in the future efforts will be intensified to improve record keeping. If NPS has any questions concerning these responses, please contact me or NCPE’s Treasurer, Doug Appler.

Finding: In order to provide assurance that unauthorized or fraudulent journal entries are not posted within the Corporation’s financial system, journal entries should be subjected to review and approval by an individual independent of the preparer of the journal entry prior to posting.

Jamie Mack, Vice President of Finance, will approve the journal entries of Caralton Brown, Assistant Controller, and Caralton Brown will review and approve the entries prepared by Jamie Mack and Michael Caddick, outside contractor. Name of contact person responsible for corrective action: Jamie Mack, Vice President of Finance.

2021-007 - Special Tests and Provisions - Material Weakness Recommendation: Management should review the project budget to determine if nonessential costs can be cut or request a loan from the sponsor to ensure that the replacement reserve is funded in accordance with the terms of the regulatory agreement. Action Taken: The Managing Agent undertook an agency wide cost reduction beginning in March 2024, reducing project indirect costs by approximately 10-15%. Project direct costs cannot be reduced much further with most required services already being provided by city departments, and designated utility providers. The project has not had a budget increase since 2013, and while the project has a healthy replacement reserve balance in excess of $135k the project operating budget deficit is currently unable to fund those reserves without jeopardizing essential health and safety services. Management has sought and received multiple sponsor loans to address these shortfalls. The Management agent is presently prepared to submit for a required budget increase immediately following completion of all outstanding audits as required to secure the necessary rent increase.

2021-005 - Reporting - Material Weakness Recommendation: Management should ensure timely completion of a Uniform Guidance audit, as required. Action Taken: Historically, Uniform Guidance Data Collection Form submissions were scheduled by the sponsor. In April 2019, the management agent experienced significant staff turnover including the Chief Financial Officer. The Entity's fiscal year fiscal year 2019 closed shortly thereafter.

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.
