2022-005 - Audit Finding Title: Right to Cancel Notices Not Provided Within Designated Time Frame - NTMA does not agree with this finding. We have been and will continue to mail the EFT notices to parents directly, keeping a copy in the student file. However, what we will do is update the cover letter to include the notice of right to cancel on that form as well although it is clearly outlined on the 2nd page that has all the disbursement, included the Plus Disbursements listed with the right to cancel verbiage immediately thereafter. Statement of Condition as stated by Auditors: In four (4) of four (4) files tested with Parent Plus Loans, the Institution addressed and sent the notification of disbursement and the borrower?s right to cancel to the students, instead of notifying parents directly. Facts as NTMA Sees Them: The notices are 2 pages and ARE addressed and sent to the PARENT; the back-up documentation which was provided to the auditing team. The 2nd page, not a letter, but a notice does have the student?s name, but it also outlines all disbursements right to cancel time frame included the parent disbursement. The title of this finding suggests that NTMA did not send it on time or to the parent. Neither is true and again, supporting documents have been provided to support this fact.

2022-001 NON-COMPLIANCE WITH WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS Corrective Action Plan: In October 2020 the School District closed on and received funding for the 2020 Building and Site Bond project. The purpose of this bond issuance was for the renovation and updating of numerous schools throughout the district. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of materials increased dramatically and the on-going shutdowns in the business sector led to supply-chain issues. These issues resulted in an overall cost increase to the bond project. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government released billions of dollars in federal funding to mitigate the negative impacts on the national economy and to reduce the spread of the virus. One of the federal programs initiated in response to the pandemic was the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP Act), which was enacted March 11, 2021. The ARP Act is the sole source for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief III (ESSER III) funding passed through to the District from the Michigan Department of Education. A window replacement project at the Middle School qualified as an allowable expenditure under ESSER III funding. Replacing non-functioning windows allowed for greater air flow within the classrooms, reducing the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus. The decision to utilize ESSER III funding for a portion of the Middle School window replacement project was made after the contract was executed and as such the construction contract did not include the required prevailing wage language as required under the grant. The School District used a union contractor that did pay at and above the required wage rates; however, certified payrolls were not required to be provided and the subcontractor agreements were not required to have prevailing wage language while using bond funds. It is impossible for the School District to retroactively apply those requirements. Responsible Parties: ? Superintendent, Dan Skewis ? Business Manager, Geoff Lasich Anticipated Completion Date: Not applicable.

DISTRICT ALLIANCE FOR SAFE HOUSING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN For the Year Ended September 30, 2022 TO: MARCUM LLP 1899 L Street NW, Suite 850 Washington, DC 20036 Audit Period: The findings from the September 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS Finding 2022-001: Donor Restricted Net Assets ? Time Restrictions Condition and Context: Several grants and contributions had time restrictions incorrectly applied as the donor made the funds available to DASH in the current year, including the payment of those funds. Although the impact was not material, it resulted in net assets with donor restrictions being overstated in the financial statements. Recommendation: The auditors recommended additional training be delivered to enhance understanding of time restrictions under GAAP. The auditors also recommended that, as part of monthly and year-end closing procedures, analysis and reconciliations of donor-restricted net asset activity continue to be performed and all needed adjustments be posted prior to closing. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The Organization agrees with the finding and the auditors? recommendation. The Organization will update its policies and procedures to reflect the auditors? advice about what constitutes a donor time restriction under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Analysis and reconciliations of donor-restricted net asset activity will continue to be performed as part of monthly and year-end closing procedures, with adjustments posted prior to closing. FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS Finding 2022-002: Reporting ? Compliance Finding and Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Condition and Context: The auditors identified that certain financial and performance reports were submitted late and documentation of review and approval of performance reports by someone other than the report preparer was not available. Recommendation: The auditors recommended that management review policies and procedures over reporting to ensure a review and approval process that allows for timely submission and documented approval of performance reports. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The Organization agrees with the finding and the auditors? recommendations. The Organization has hired a qualified finance team who have implemented a revised monthly closing routine to ensure timely submission of financial reports. The Data, Impact, Systems & Coaching (DISC) team responsible for performance reporting was expanded in FY22 to include an additional FTE to support data and reporting. Revised end-to-end processes for performance reports are being documented and implemented, including the necessary documented reviews and approvals to ensure compliance with funder and organizational requirements.

2022 ?003 ? Name of contact person: Jennifer Santerre, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Action: The Organization operates under a common paymaster agreement with Chelsea Jewish Lifecare, Inc. (CJL), the sole corporate member of the Organization. As such, the Organization transfers funding to cover its share of payroll and related costs on a weekly basis to CJL. Approximately $192,000 of the advance noted was to cover payroll and related costs for the pay period ending December 31, 2022 which was paid the first week in January 2023. The remaining balance resulted from the weekly transfer amount not being adjusted following a number of terminations at the beginning of November 2022. Amounts transferred in excess were fully utilized to cover payroll and related costs in January 2023. Management has reviewed and revised procedures to ensure excess funds are not transferred in the future. Proposed Completion Date: January 31, 2023

May 31, 2023 Finding 2022-001: Cash Management ? Disbursement U.S. Department of Education ? Education Stabilization Fund ALN 84.425F COVID-19 Institutional Portion Criteria: Non-federal entities must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the US Treasury or pass-through entity and disbursement by the non-federal entity for direct program or project costs and the proportionate share of allowable indirect costs, whether the payment is made by electronic funds transfer, or issuance or redemption of checks, warrants, or payment by other means (2 CFR section 200.305(b)). Condition: Management implemented a financial management system that meets the specified standards for fund control and accountability, but the system failed to ensure disbursement of funds within the required timeframe. Questioned Costs: None noted. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Cause: Management did not accurately identify the required timeframe of disbursement for funds received under the Institutional Portion subprogram. A mitigating factor is the uniqueness of the Institutional Portion subprogram. Effect: Institutional Portion funds used to defray expenses associated with coronavirus was not disbursed within the required 3 calendar days of the drawdown from ED?s G5 grants system. Planned Corrective Action Management concurs with the finding. Since the program is not applicable to the organization after the issuance date of the financial statements, no corrective action is necessary.
