Finding 2025-001, Reporting- Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance Cause: The finding resulted from the lack of a formalized, documented review process to verify the accuracy of claim data between Skyward, PrimeroEdge, and TXUNPS. Historically, the claim reporting relied on single-entry verification without a defined cross-check procedure or document retention system to confirm alignment across platforms. Corrective Action: NYOS Charter School has implemented a new monthly verification process to ensure accuracy and transparency in the meal count reporting workflow. - The PEIMS Manager will generate the Average Daily Attendance (ADA) report from Skyward each month. - The Food Service Manager will use this report to enter claim data into PrimeroEdge. - The Director of Operations will then cross-reference the claim information from PrimeroEdge with the ADA report from Skyward before entering final claim data into TXUNPS. - Copies of the ADA report, the PrimeroEdge claim summary, and the TXUNPS submission confirmation will be downloaded and stored in the Food Services Google Drive for audit documentation and ongoing internal control review. - Staff involved in this process will receive annual training on verification procedures, documentation standards, and data integrity best practices. Timeline: Updated verification process implemented in October 2025; full rollout and training completed by December 2025. Responsible Party: - Chief of Operations & HR -Director of Operations - PEIMS Manager - Food Service Manager Monitoring: Quarterly internal reviews will be conducted by the Chief of Operations & HR to ensure consistent application of the cross-verification process and proper retention of supporting documentation in the Food Services Google Drive.

FINDING 2025-002 Finding Subject: COVID-19- Education Stabilization Fund – Special Tests and Provisions – Wage Rate Requirements Summary of Finding: State Board of Accounts has asserted that the school corporation did not ensure that the contractor for the elementary building’s roofing project, which was partially funded through a federal ESSER grant, had paid prevailing wage rates on this project. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Debra Elder, Treasurer and John Scioldo, Superintendent Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-547-3300; debbie.elder@tellcity.k12.in.us and john.scioldo@tellcity.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding.. Description of Corrective Action Plan: While we will agree that the school corporation did not physically have on file and/or review the detailed certified payroll timesheets from Eskola, the awarded contractor for the project, the school corporation had hired in good faith Universal Design Associates (UDA) to manage all facets of the project. UDA has managed other capital improvements on the school’s campus, and their services have been exemplary. A school corporation of our size simply does not have the manpower, resources or expertise to oversee a project of this size, and therefore we rely on the hired project manager/architectural design company to ensure all federal Davis-Bacon wage scale requirements and the construction project as a whole are being fully followed, in addition to their close oversight of the day-to-day project management. The Application to Pay statements for payment to Eskola were provided by, and assumably thoroughly reviewed by, UDA. These pay applications obviously included payment for payroll, again assumably of which UDA checked certified payroll for federal wage compliance. The project was completed in the spring of 2025, and therefore this is no longer an issue. We have determined as a result of this finding that the current school administration will not consider funding future capital projects with federal grants due to the complexities of the involved federal compliance requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: N/A – Based on Corrective Action Plan

Student Financial Assistance – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure that students’ statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Auditors identified two students for whom enrollment status on the campus level and program level was correctly reported to NSLDS as withdrawal in December 2024; however, both students graduated in March 2025 and that enrollment status was not updated at the campus level or the program level. We have a manual tracking procedure in place for students who complete missing coursework after their last term of enrollment that results in completion of their program. These two students were missed in that process. As a result of this finding, we have reviewed the procedure with the relevant staff and will continue to monitor the process, adding routine spot-checking of this tracking list.

2025-001 - Child and Adult Care Food Program - Eligibility Condition Six providers received an improper amount for their meal reimbursement for the month tested. A seventh provider did not have the proper documentation on file to support their Tier determination. Recommendation Controls should be reviewed and updated to ensure that reimbursements are only requested for complete and accurate meals counts at the correct rate of reimbursement, and that only eligible participants are submitted to the State for reimbursement. Comments on the Finding Recommendation The CACFP at The Russell Child Development Center acknowledges the findings and understands the importance of ensuring that all meal reimbursements are based on complete, accurate meal counts and correct reimbursement rates, and that Tier determinations are fully supported by proper documentation. Action Taken: As of October 31 , 2025, Russell Child Development Center, has ceased participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program. During the final grant award year, CACFP staff reviewed and updated Tier Determination forms and supporting documentation when it was identified that documentation was missing or incomplete. In addition, staff corrected provider license types within the CACFP files when discrepancies were identified to ensure accurate reimbursement rates. No further claims have been submitted since the program's closure. All CACFP-related records, including Tier documentation, meal count records, and reimbursement data, will be retained for the required record-keeping timeframe in accordance with federal and state regulations.

The prior finding number was 2023-003. Condition and Context The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. The School Corporation was required to submit annual data reports to the Indiana Department of Education via JotForm, a form/report builder. Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. During the prior audit period, the School Corporation submitted two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports, and two EESER III reports, for a total of six reports. The Superintendent of Schools submitted all the reports without an oversight or review process in place to prevent, detect and correct errors. As a follow up in the current audit period, it was found that this issue was not resolved. The lack of internal controls was a systematic issue throughout the audit period. . Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Erin Roach Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 765-653-3119 eroach@sputnam.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The grants director will print out the reports for review and approval prior to submission. Anticipated Completion Date: February, 2026

Audit Finding 2025-1: During the audit it was noted that certain general ledger accounts were not analyzed and reconciled on a timely basis. Management Response: The Center has continued to experience turnover in key accounting positions. New programs with new software updates have required additional staff training. The Medicaid Eligibility Renewal process by the State now has Renewals required every 12 months while prior to covid the Medicaid Program Renewals were required every 24 months. This has caused serious issues with the reconciliation process for Several of our Medicare, Medicaid, HCS and TXHMLV Accounts. We booked conservatively what we thought we could anticipate for Revenues assuming that we would begin receiving Reinstatement of Benefits at a somewhat regular Renewal Rate. We are allowed to back bill at least 90 days once approval is given. The Renewal Process is taking way longer than it used to, significantly complicating the reconciliation process, especially at year end with the need for separation of Revenue by Fiscal Years (matching process of Revenue with the same period Expenditures) Management will continue to train existing employees on significant accounting issues and IDD Management has recently begun using the Medicaid Lost Report to better anticipate lapses in upcoming Renewals of Consumers. We will also begin closing out our billings for the prior Fiscal Year earlier than we currently do. Any prior billings (Rebills) occurring after this established cutoff date (Medicare/Medicaid) will be reflected in the current year’s revenue and receivable balances.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University review their awarding procedures and implement procedures to ensure the Stafford loans are awarded within the annual and aggregate limits. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: At the time the Subsidized Direct Loan was initially awarded, the student was classified as grade level one and was correctly awarded $3,500. Subsequently, the student’s grade level increased; however, the Direct Loan award was not adjusted accordingly. The Office of Financial Aid relies on email notifications to identify students with grade-level changes, and the notification for this student was inadvertently missed. In response to this error, the Office of Financial Aid implemented additional monitoring controls. A report was developed to identify all students with changes in grade level and is now generated and provided weekly by the Office of the Registrar to the Office of Financial Aid. A designated Financial Aid Advisor has been assigned responsibility for reviewing this report and adjusting Direct Loan awards as necessary to ensure accuracy. As an additional preventative measure, the Director of Financial Aid will verify student grade level and corresponding Direct Loan eligibility prior to disbursement. The Office of Financial Aid will also conduct periodic reviews to confirm that Direct Loan awards consistently and accurately align with students’ grade levels.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University implement a formal review process as it relates to withdrawn students to ensure R2T4 calculations are being performed accurately and timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The withdrawal dates applied in the Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculations were based on the dates students were administratively withdrawn by the Office of the Registrar. Upon identification of the audit finding, the Office of Financial Aid conducted a comprehensive review of the affected R2T4 calculations and made the necessary corrections. Any balances resulting from these errors were subsequently written off. Additionally, the Director of Financial Aid completed a full file review for the applicable award year to assess the accurate inclusion of scheduled break days. During this review, two additional students were identified whose R2T4 calculations did not include the appropriate number of break days. The calculations for these students were corrected, and the resulting balances were written off. No further errors were identified. As part of the corrective action, the Office of Financial Aid has hired an additional Financial Aid Advisor dedicated to the review and completion of R2T4 calculations. Furthermore, the Director of Financial Aid has implemented a secondary review process for all completed R2T4 calculations to ensure accuracy and compliance. The Office of Financial Aid has also reviewed the Financial Aid Handbook and applicable Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) related to R2T4 calculations to reinforce adherence to regulatory requirements.
