Description of Corrective Action Plan: this was the first (for current officers) time getting this large of funds and jumping through all the necessary hoops and the county did not have anything in place prior to go off on how to proceed from start to finish. The county hired Barnes & Thornburg with the impression they would be walking us through the entire process and helping with all the reports. Commissioner Woodall had volunteered to be the county?s designee on handling all the reports necessary to do with the ARPA funds. He did them with the help he would receive from telephone calls with Barnes & Thornburg and the State. The county is going to hire someone (or an accounting firm) to start doing the reports and to make sure the county is complying with what needs to be done. Then, two county employees will have a review process to make sure the proper steps are being followed and the figures being turned in match what the county is showing has been receipted in and disbursed for each quarter and annually.

FINDING 2022-004 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Auditor Kristina Berish Contact Phone Number: 765-653-5513 Views of Responsible Officials: Concur with audit finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Payroll vouchers, there were 8 vouchers of 26 tested that did not have the department head signatures on them. It was the premium pay vouchers. The payroll deputy had been instructed after the 2021 audit to make sure all timesheets and payroll vouchers were signed. Corrective action is that this deputy is no longer employed. We now have a Payroll Deputy and a Human Resources Deputy who after each payroll look at all the timesheets and payroll vouchers to make sure they are signed. They both must sign off on it verifying they were reviewed for compliance. The following was an internal control issue pertaining to the period of performance requirement. The premium pay was not set up as a separate pay record for all the employees eligible to receive it. It was done as an adjustment to add the pay along with their regular paycheck. Felt it was an unnecessary amount of time to set up a separate pay record for one check. However, in doing it this way there was not a way to separate the matching taxes and PERF for the premium pay so there was an adjustment made after the payroll so it would be paid from the ARPA funds. There is a report that was ran and printed. It was shown to the audit team showing how the adjustments amount were generated in the payroll program. Chief Deputy Auditor went into our financial program to make the adjustments. We were unaware that since this is Federal monies, we needed to have something besides a verbal discussion on how to make the adjustments and the corresponding report. Corrective Action is in the future if any such adjustments need to be made there will be a verbal understanding of what needs to be done, reports, and something in writing between two employees in the Auditor?s Office stating who, what and why adjustments are being made. And someone signed off that they reviewed the adjustments after they were made. Anticipated Completion Date: March 1, 2024

Name of Responsible Individual: Brian K. Blackburn, Director of Financial Aid Corrective Action: A system error prevented scheduled Pell disbursements from taking place on the appropriate day thus creating a discrepancy in the timing of reporting. This discrepancy created the need for all disbursements to be verified manually and during the time needed to complete verification of the disbursement, the University was out of compliance. New reports have been created to ensure that all scheduled disbursements have disbursed within the University system and in the COD system and are accurately reported within the 15 calendar days as required. In the case of the identified student and their Direct Loan disbursement, the student's Unsubsidized loan was inadvertently disbursed with required documents missing. The University has put in to place a series of reports and measures that ensures a loan will not disburse if a student is missing required documents or is not in one of Powerfaids "Ready to Disburse" statuses.
