Audit Finding 2022-024: U.S. Department of the Treasury Coronavirus Relief Fund, 21.019 Finding: Some expenditures were not reported in the appropriate classification or by vendor. Recommendation: Recommend the Nevada Governor’s Finance Office (GFO) enhance internal controls to ensure Financial Progress Reports are prepared in accordance with governing requirements. Agency Response: Does the agency Agree with Finding: Yes Additional Comments: The GFO relied on the U.S. Department of Treasury guidance, frequently asked questions and other reporting and recordkeeping documents to administer the fund. This information was revised multiple times throughout the grant period, which was extended for an additional year on December 28, 2020, two days before it was to expire in December 2020 causing difficulties in decision determination. It wasn’t until the guidance for the American Rescue Plan Act was received and reviewed that the manner in which the reporting for the payments to state agencies was questioned. Corrective Action: On November 12, 2021, a request was sent to the CARES help desk at U.S. Department of Treasury for clarification regarding state agency reimbursements for COVID related expenditures. This response verified that reporting for state agency reimbursement needed to be completed for each vendor by contract, grant or direct payment over $50,000. Once confirmation was received from U.S. Department of Treasury, the process to determine expenditures by vendor over $50,000 (reporting under contract, direct or grant) for each State Agency Reimbursement Project by Fiscal Year. This analysis was in process while the Single Audit was ongoing and was completed and reported in GrantSolutions for the quarter ending June 2022. The reporting during this quarter was revised to address the finding of payroll costs separated by fiscal year according to the dropdown categories of substantially dedicated public health and safety and administrative leave. These payroll costs were eliminated from the Direct section in the reporting portal to the Aggregate of Direct Payments to Individuals section in the amount of $304,516,094 since the payroll was for the prime recipient.

Finding 2022-021 Investigations performed by the UI BAM supervisor or senior investigator are not reviewed by someone other than the investigator. In addition, completion of cases and timely data entry requirements were not met. A nonstatistical sample of 60 completed BAM cases out of a population of 734 was selected for testing. The investigator and reviewer were the same person for 17 of the cases tested. In addition, a time lapse report of case completion was examined for paid claims accuracy. Of these investigations, 85.19% of the cases were completed within 90 days, rather than the 95% required. In addition, the total completion was 92.12% complete, rather than the 98% completion required. Recommendation We recommend the Department implement internal controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties on all BAM investigations and to ensure timeliness requirements are met. Nevada DETR’s Response The Employment Security Division’s Unemployment Insurance Support Services (UISS) recognizes the importance of internal controls for a system of checks and balances to ensure no one person has control over all parts of BAM investigations, and to ensure investigation timeliness. Background: BAM timeliness has been impacted since 2020 due to many factors that include but are not limited to significant staff turnover (i.e., retirement, promotions, and recruitment/retainment of qualified staff). Historically, the BAM supervisor PCN 5089 has been tasked with training and reviewing new staff work and activities, which resulted in experienced investigators’ work not being reviewed in attempts to meet timeliness on other BAM cases.

2.) Finding 2020-002 Report Submission Delay a. Program Information: 17.270 Reentry Employment Opportunities b. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.329, non-Federal entities must submit quarterly financial reports at the interval required by the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity no later than the specified due date. If a justified request is submitted by a non-Federal entity, the Federal agency may extend the due date for any quarterly financial report. c. Condition: During our audit, we identified one quarterly financial report that was submitted to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) after the stated due date. Response: Explanation: This delay was due to an unawareness of process limitations regarding the user application process for the Payment Management System (PMS), which is required for any new Finance Director. A formal application and access request form needs to be submitted along with documentation to support the request for access (including proof of identity, proof of employment, and role confirmation). These conditions, along with the 24-72 hour processing time required to get a user application approved by the PMS providers, led to our one-day-late submission of the required quarterly financial report. Corrective Action: We have established a more proactive approach to managing reporting requirements and a protocol for timely submissions of reports. This includes: - Mandatory PMS application processing as part of the early onboarding process for any new Finance Director. - Early preparation of reports, scheduling reviews a month ahead of the submission deadline. - Direct communication lines with the contract administrators and program directors. - Standard procedures identified to request extensions in case of anticipated delays, specific to each contracting agency. Future Measures: Regular training session for our team are planned to help staff stay informed about reporting requirements, procedures, and deadlines.

Description of Corrective Action Plan: SBCSC will conduct re-training of all High School principals and data technicians to review SBCSC withdrawal policies (outlined below), along with required documentation for each exit/mobility code. This training will be conducted in January 2024. District staff will confirm with each high school that procedures below are in place by reviewing cohort binders with the principal and data technician. Meetings will be scheduled in the Spring of 2024. Procedure for Withdrawing Students from all SBCSC High Schools Anytime a parent requests that a student withdraw from a high school, the following steps must be followed. If a parent is not requesting a transfer, the principal will complete an exit interview. All transfers will follow this procedure. (Please also see the procedure for processing no shows.) 1. Only the principal is allowed to sign the withdrawal form. If the principal is not available, an assistant principal may sign the withdrawal form and immediately email it to the principal. 2. Prior to signing the withdrawal form, the principal will speak with the parents and student to gather any information that may help the school understand why a withdrawal is necessary. Once this conversation has happened, the principal will advise the parent and student. 43 INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS South􀀃Bend􀀃Community􀀃School􀀃Corporation􀀃 215􀀃South􀀃Dr.􀀃Martin􀀃Luther􀀃King􀀃Jr.􀀃Boulevard􀀃􀀃 􀀃South􀀃Bend,􀀃Indiana􀀃46601􀀃􀀃 574􀇦393􀇦6100􀀃􀀃 􀀃 􀀃 􀀃 􀀃 INTEGRITY􀀃•􀀃ACCOUNTABILITY􀀃•􀀃EMPOWERMENT􀀃 􀀃 ACADEMIC􀀃QUALITY􀀃|􀀃EQUITY,􀀃INCLUSION􀀃&􀀃JUSTICE􀀃|􀀃FINANCIAL􀀃 SUSTAINABILITY􀀃|􀀃COMMUNITY􀀃PARTNERSHIPS􀀃 􀀃 3. If it is determined that the student will transfer, the signed withdrawal form will be filed in a binder based on class cohort. For example, all students scheduled to graduate in the spring of 2022 will be filed with the 2022 cohort. The principal must determine the name and contact information for the receiving school. 4. It is the responsibility of the data technician to manage these cohorts by checking Learning Connection weekly. If discrepancies are visible in Learning Connection, a data technician will contact the SBCSC Department of Research and Evaluation and the IDOE. 5. The secretary of student management will forward any requests for records to the data technician to file with the student’s withdrawal paperwork. (We must have a request for records for every student withdrawing from SBCSC.) 6. The data technician will follow up regarding any student with whom we did not receive a request for records for within one week of the withdrawal. The data technician will contact the receiving school and parent to locate the records request. 7. The data technician will continue to locate a request for records weekly until the request is received by SBCSC. 8. Documentation will be maintained of all efforts made to collect the information.

Finding 2022-001 Finding: CACFP requires that non-Federal entities receiving Federal Awards establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with Federal Statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. The Club was unable to replicate exact payroll expenses that were reported to the state monthly for the program. This is due to a lack of payroll documentation retained monthly. This documentation took time to replicate during the audit. No fraud is suspected related to payroll reporting issues for the program. Response: Adjustments were made to the payroll process to retain all supporting documentation and to replicate any prior period paperwork. The Club switched to a new payroll processor which has enabled improved payroll reporting.
