CONDITION: During my sample review of the District’s completion of its federal grant program ‘Quarterly Cash On Hand Reconciliations’ for the 2021-2022 4th fiscal quarter for the ESSER II and ARP ESSER grants, I noted that the amounts reported to date for ‘total disbursements’ could not be ascertained from the coding of these expenditures in the District’s general ledger (See Finding 2022-005) and did not reconcile to the separate spreadsheets maintained by the School District. This is a repeat finding (2021-006) from the previous fiscal year. CRITERIA: Section 2 CFR 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance requires non-federal organizations such as the School District to maintain financial records which account for federal funds in such a manner as to be able to properly track the identification and use of federal funds. RECOMMENDATION: I am recommending that the School District properly follow the guidance contained within the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations Chart of Accounts for recording all expenditures of the School District, most specifically, federal program grant expenditures to comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in Section 2 CFR Part 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance, to allow for the proper completion of the ‘quarterly cash on hand reconciliations’. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: District management is in the process of revising its chart of accounts in the general ledger to properly reflect the funding source codes for federal program expenditures, and other available funding source codes (state and local) as applicable to the District. It is anticipated that the updated chart of accounts will be utilized by the District starting with the 2024-2025 fiscal year to enable the District to effectively access the necessary federal expenditure totals, by individual grant program, to document and support amounts reported as ‘total cash disbursed’ on the quarterly cash on hand reconciliations. This procedure will enable the District to comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in Section 2 CFR Part 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance and PDE regulations.

CONDITION: The District did not properly record its federal program expenditures for the GEER, ESSER, and ARP ESSER federal grant programs using the various federal funding source expenditure codes as prescribed by the Chart of Accounts for PA Local Educational Agencies maintained by the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations. This is a repeat finding (2021-005) from the previous fiscal year. CRITERIA: The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), through the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations Chart of Accounts requires School Districts to utilize specific funding source codes for federal program expenditures. In addition, Section 2 CFR 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance requires non-federal organizations such as the School District to maintain financial records which account for federal funds in such a manner as to be able to properly track the identification and use of federal funds. RECOMMENDATION: I am recommending that the School District properly follow the guidance contained within the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations Chart of Accounts for recording all expenditures of the School District, most specifically, federal program grant expenditures to 1) enhance internal controls for tracking and monitoring federal program expenditures and 2) comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in Section 2 CFR Part 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance and PDE regulations. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: District management is in the process of revising its chart of accounts in the general ledger to properly reflect the funding source codes for federal program expenditures, and other available funding source codes (state and local) as applicable to the District.

Management Response / Corrective Action: Rowan-Salisbury School hired a new payroll director in May of 2022 who identified the cause for the above noted discrepancy, noting the team was overbudgeting taxes on staff personnel payments due to employees who opt in for the ?pre-tax contributions.? When an employee enrolls in the ?pre-tax contributions,? the budgeted amount for Social Security/Medicaid is adjusted so that the rate no longer meets the 7.65% calculated amounts for all employees. As a result, the team has gone through each month?s drawdown and determined that $7,793.78 was over budgeted and we are correcting that in our February 2023 drawdown by reducing the drawdown by $7,793.78. We have also adjusted our budget calculation so that we are properly accounting for those employees who opted for ?pre-tax contributions? going forward.

December 19, 2022The City of Staunton respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022.Name and address of public accounting firm:Brown Edwards & Company LLP 1909 Financial Drive Harrisonburg VA 22801Audit Period: July 1 , 2021 - June 30, 2022The findings from the June 30, 2022 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (the "Schedule") are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule.FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS - MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT2022-001: Emergency Connectivity Funds - Assistance Listing #32.009 Condition:The inventory provided was incomplete , vague, or otherwise lacked some or all of the required data. The inventory also made it difficult to determine if ECF devices were allotted to multiple individuals, or if devices funded by other sources were included and not appropriately removed from the list s.Criteria:Emergency Connectivity Fund (" ECF") Program participants are required to maintain asset and service inventories of the devices and services purchased with ECF Program support. For each connected device or services provided, the inventory must include, but is not limited to: the device type, make/model, serial number, full name of person the equipment was provided to and dates of service the device was loaned out and returned. Additionally, those inventories must identify ECF funded equipment in the event of sale or disposal to remain in compliance with the program requirement s.Cause:Controls or reviews do not appear to be in place to ensure equipment inventory contains all the necessary data, is up to date, and accurate.Effect:Inaccurate and incomplete inventory lists.Recommendation:We recommend that controls be put in place to ensure that the School IT department is following proper grant requirements. Furthermore equipment lists should differentiate between federally funded devices with restrictions on disposals, along with applicable program in formation , from devices funded by other sources. Finally , the equipment lists should be updated, with old equipment no longer in service being removed and current equipment showing the time and date of assignment to students or faculty.Corrective Action:We concur. School IT staff have been reminded of the importance of maintaining accurate equipment records that differentiate between federally funded devices, which may have restrictions on disposals reviewed, and other devices funded by non-federal sources. Staff has reviewed and updated the equipment inventory listings to reflect correct assignment to location, student and/or staff and have implemented procedures to ensure that going forward, the equipment listings are updated in a timely manner.If the Federal Audit Clearinghouse has questions regarding this plan, please call Jessie L. Moyers , Chief Financial Officer for the City of Staunton at 540-332-3820.Sincerely,Jessie L. Moyers, CPAChief financial Officer City of Staunton VA

A. Comments on Findings and Recommendations: We agree with the finding and recommendation. B. Actions Taken or Planned: The Institution has reviewed the details of the finding and determined the error to be an isolated instance due to human error. The Institution returned $268 to the Federal Pell Grant Program on behalf of student #AR8. Student AR8 failed a class/module for the payment period in a non-standard program. On the Return of Title IV (R2T4) calculation, the payment period ending date should have been extended by an additional class/module. File Review will be added to the final review of all R2T4 calculations prepared for non-standard term programs. If the academic transcript includes repeat classes/modules, payment periods used in the calculation will be reviewed for accuracy.
