FINDING 2023-003 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster – Activities Allowed or Unallowed Summary of Finding: Material Weakness A cash reimbursement is provided to the School Corporation based on meals served under the School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program, and Summer Food Service Program for Children. The cash reimbursement is to be used for the benefit of the food service program. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place over payroll disbursements charged to the food service program. Payroll disbursements were paid without evidence that the detailed report of payroll disbursements was reviewed and approved by another person not involved in the original payroll process. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Benjamin Mann Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 765-536-0008 bmann@mgusc.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: The CFO now reviews the Org Charge report and signs off before the payroll batch being released to the bank. This report is generated by Payroll and Benefits. Also, this entire report is now included with board claims for board approval rather than a final summary sheet.

FINDING 2023-002 Subject: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund – Allowable Costs Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425U Federal Award Number: S425U210013 Compliance Requirement: Allowable Costs Audit Findings: Significant Deficiency Condition: The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the School Corporation complied with the allowable cost requirements. The School Corporation did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the expenditures charged to the grant were accurate and pertained to the Education Stabilization Fund. Context: The School Corporation requested a transfer of $54,886 from the School Lunch Fund to the Education Stabilization Fund to cover costs incurred for Grab & Go meals as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Upon review of the supporting detail, the actual amount of expenditures for the Grab & Go meals was $30,293, resulting in over reporting of receipts in the amount of $24,593. This was due to a clerical error made by management that was not caught in the review process. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: We will transfer the over expenditure of $24,593 from the School Lunch Fund to the Education Stabilization Fund to correct the error. To make sure this type of error does not occur in the future; the district will change our internal control procedures to have a second person review and sign the transfer prior to entering the transfer into the financial software to ensure accuracy. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: The CFO will enter the corrective transfer and have it reviewed and signed off on by the Deputy Treasurer prior to February 29, 2024.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN OF CURRENT AUDIT FINDINGS June 30, 2023 FINDING 2023-001 Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) – Earmarking Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: Special Education Preschool Grants Assistance Listing Number: 84.173 Federal Award Number: 22619-043-PN01 Compliance Requirement: Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking Audit Findings: Significant Deficiency Condition: The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the earmarking requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for non-public school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure non-public school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. Context: The School Corporation is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal year 2022-2023, the Cooperative operated the special education program and spent the federal money on behalf of all its members. As the grant agreement was between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. However, there was inadequate oversight performed by the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with the Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking compliance requirement. The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 22619-043-PN01 grant award could not be verified for the individual member schools. Total grant expenditures were posted as expended. The non-public proportionate share expenditures were determined by applying a percentage to the non-public school budgeted expenditures. As such, we were unable to identify if the minimum amount per the grant award was expended and properly reported to IDOE as required. The lack of internal controls was isolated to the 22619-043-PN01 grant award. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: As a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative (NISEC), Highland reported their proportionate share based on a percentage of expenditures and had successful audits in doing so. When Highland was notified that this process was no longer acceptable, we immediately implemented an internal control process with NISEC which included a detailed reporting of staff work hours for nonpublic schools related to only our school corporation. The report is then reviewed and signed by the NISEC staff working for the nonpublic school and their supervisor. The employee detailed time and effort report is then provided to the NISEC finance department for a second review and signature before being reported to payroll. NISEC payroll then charges the proportionate share to the IDEA Part B and the Special Education Pre-School grants in the payroll system bi-weekly based on the time and effort report pertinent to just Highland. The time and effort reports are then used to submit the reimbursements request to the Department of Education for Highland’s proportionate share. Additionally, any IDEA Part B nonpublic material expense is broken out in detail with Highland’s proportionate share for approval by the NISEC finance office prior to vendor payment and the reimbursement request is submitted to the Department of Education. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Federal regulation requires name and title of person overseeing corrective action plan and anticipated completion date. Peyton Gilmore, NISEC CFO, indicated that NISEC stopped reporting nonpublic proportionate share expenditures by percentages as of the 2022/2023 school year. An internal control procedure to report nonpublic proportionate share expenditures by detailed time and effort work of expenditures was implemented as of September 2022.

Finding Type: Noncompliance and material weakness in internal control over compliance relating to special tests. Criteria: The Institute is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control over compliance for special tests and provisions and for accurately and timely reporting significant data elements under the Campus- Level and Program-Level records within the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) that DOE considers high risk. Statement of Condition: Management implemented controls that specifically addressed the circumstances surrounding prior year finding 2022-001. Management's review of the enrollment reporting did not detect other errors on certain student data elements or timely reporting. Certain student records within the NSLDS were identified with inaccurate data elements and not timely reported. Questioned Costs: Questioned costs could not be determined. Context: 10 students were identified with inaccurate data elements and not timely reported out of a total of 25 students tested. Cause: The Institute’s internal control over compliance did not detect and correct the errors. The preparer incorrectly input the student's effective date and status into NSLDS resulting in inaccuracies in significant Campus- Level and Program-Level enrollment data elements that DOE considers high risk. Effect: The Institute incorrectly reported certain Campus-Level and Program-Level records in NSLDS which is information that DOE considers high risk and the Institute’s internal controls over compliance did not detect and correct the errors. Recommendation: We recommend management review policies and procedures surrounding enrollment reporting submissions to ensure the accuracy of data elements reported to DOE. A review performed by an appropriate individual separate from the preparer prior to the submission of the enrollment reports to NSLDS may improve the accuracy of enrollment reporting. Status: Completed February 2024 Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding. Through internal investigation, it was determined that there was a procedural issue with the manual entry of two date fields which both need to be the same when submitted to National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Human error during these manual checks caused one data field to be correct, and the other incorrect. This error has been fixed so that both fields will always be the same and accurate. We have also updated our enrollment reporting procedures to have the registrar log into NSLDS monthly to confirm that the prior month NSC status changes are properly recorded in NSLDS.

Finding: Management's review of the enrollment reporting did not detect errors on certain student data elements. Certain student records within the NSLDS were identified with inaccurate data elements. The College is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control over compliance for special tests and provisions and for accurately reporting significant data elements under the Campus-Level and Program-Level records within the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) that the Department of Education (ED) considers high risk. The College's internal control over compliance for special tests are not operating effectively. The preparer did not update the student's status into NSLDS resulting in inaccuracies in significant Campus-Level and Program-Level enrollment date elements that ED considers high risk. Additionally, student with status changes were incorrectly reported as withdrawn but upon review of internal documentation, those same students graduated. We recommend management review and enhance its review policies and procedures surrounding enrollment reporting submissions to ensure the accuracy of data elements reported to ED. A review performed by an appropriate individual separate from the prepared prior to the submission of the enrollment reports to NSLDS may improve the accuracy of enrollment reporting. We also recommend management review all students reported to NSLDS to verify they are accurately reported. Corrective Action: Management agrees and has implemented necessary procedures/controls to ensure the College is in compliance with enrollment requirements.

FINDING 2023-001 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) - Earmarking Summary of Finding: The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Greater Lafayette Area Special Services Cooperative complied with the earmarking requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for nonpublic school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure non-public school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Lissa Stranahan, GLASS Director and Michelle Cronk, CFO of West Lafayette Schools Contact Phone Number and Email Address: Lissa Stranahan Michelle Cronk 765-771-6013 765-746-1602 lstranahan@lsc.k12.in.us cronkm@wl.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding for earmarking. GLASS did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for non-public school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure nonpublic school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. The methodology used by the Cooperative to monitor non-public proportionate share expenditures was based upon a percentage for each school corporation that comprises the Cooperative rather than basing the expenditures off of the grant award for each non-public school within the geographical boundaries of the school corporations. While all proportionate share funds were expended, it was problematic in determining if the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported prior to July 1, 2023. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The former Director of GLASS retired June 30, 2023. Upon hire on July 1, 2023, the new director immediately implemented measures to correct the previous methodology used at GLASS. Non-public proportionate share funds are identified and reported based upon the grant award for each school corporation. The expenditures are based upon the geographical location of the non-public school and the corresponding public school corporation, not based upon the “home” school corporation of the student. The school corporation will review the methodology used to calculate non-public proportionate share on the grant applications to ensure that the correct methodology is used. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action was already put into place on July 1, 2023. The audit finding reflects the previous grant cycle prior to the action taken.

Material Weakness - Internal Controls over Reporting and Noncompliance The Office of Financial Management (OFM) Grant Program Administrator, Heather Larson will monitor and ensure that Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA) reports are filed as required in the FSRS system.

FINDING 2023-004 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) – Earmarking Summary of Finding: The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 21611-048-PN01 grant award could not be verified for the individual member schools. The non-public school share funds for the participating member schools were allocated based on the yearly budget for certified staff instead of time charged to the non-public schools. These allocations were the amounts reported to IDOE. As such, we were unable to identify which expenditures were for each school in order to verify the minimum amount per the grant award was expended and properly reported to IDOE as required. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Lana M. Miller Contact Phone Number and Email Address: Phone Number-812-689-6282 Email- lmiller@sripley.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS 31 Expenses for non-public schools are tracked and charged to the appropriate corporation. Staff record time spent at each non-public school, sign and date the form and turn it into the treasurer. The expenses are then moved to the correct expense line on the grant after receiving this information. Materials that are purchased are charged to the correct expense account when paid. ROD’s treasurer will prepare a report showing compliance with the earmarking requirement on a monthly basis. These reports will be provided to the ROD board for review, and our Superintendent is a member of that board. Anticipated Completion Date: July 1, 2023
