Condition: During our testing of the major program, we noted numerous errors on draw requests. In addition, accounting for construction costs and federal grant and loan proceeds under this program were difficult to identify in the records. Criteria: Draw requests should be reviewed to ensure proper management of grant funding. Auditor?s Recommendation: We recommend Town work with engineers to review and approve the draw requests for all grant funding. Each draw request should agree with the Town?s underlying accounting records. Management?s Response: Management will hold meetings at least quarterly with contractors, the project engineer, and the state or other funding sources to review construction claims and draw requests. Regular reviews of large-scale projects being paid with federal funding will ensure that costs and activities are properly captured and submitted for reimbursement. Cheryl Schneider, Clerk/Treasurer, is responsible for this corrective action and it will be implemented with all grant draws starting in January 2023.

Each of these departments will coordinate training and standard operating procedures for timely and accurate reporting to the appropriate entities. The College has intentions of fulfilling the following actions to make continued progress toward compliance under this finding: ? Hire Enterprise Network Position in Student Services to assist with reporting and student information services. ?

Corrective Action Plan The Enterprise City Board of Education (the Board) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended September 30, 2022. Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC 1117 Boll Weevil Circle Enterprise, AL 36330 The finding from the September 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistent with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS- FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT No such findings in the current year. FINDINGS - FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AUDITS Item 2022-001 - Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Recommendation: 2 CFR 200.303 requires the non-Federal entity to "(a) establish and maintain effective internal controls over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award." 2 CFR 200.326 and 29 CFR Part 5, Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Governing Federally Financed and Assisted Construction (DOL Regulations) require the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). We recommend the strengthening of controls to ensure the prevailing wage rate clauses are included in the contracts and that certified payrolls are received for each week in which construction work is performed. The Chief School Financial Officer, Pam Christian, should review documentation for inclusion of the prevailing wage rate clauses in construction contracts as part of the bid process prior to expenditures being made. She should also review all invoices received from contractors and subcontractors to ensure that the certified payroll information is received for all weeks for which construction work is performed. Action Taken: Management has reviewed the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.303 and 2 CFR 200.326 relating to wage rate requirements and agrees with the recommendation. Management will communicate with all contractors and subcontractors regarding the wage rate requirements and will implement additional procedures, effective May 1, 2023, stating that the Chief School Financial Officer, Pam Christian, will review documentation for inclusion of the prevailing wage rate clauses in construction contracts as part of the bid process prior to expenditures being made. She will also review all invoices received from contractors and subcontractors to ensure that the certified payroll information is received for all weeks for which construction work is performed.
