Federal Agency Name: Department of Homeland Security Pass-Through Entity: State of South Dakota Office of Emergency Management Assistance Listing Number: 97.039 Program Name: Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Finding Summary: Material expenditures were claimed for reimbursement with no documented formal review and approval. Corrective Action Plan: We will continue to have the approvals of material expenditures happen at the requisition level when the materials are ordered.

This charge out sheet will then be posted in our IVUE system, and the paper copy will be scanned into vault for documentation. This same procedure will be used for salvage and credit material. For cash management, we will send the final summarized report to the Operations Manager for approval before it is sent to FEMA.

However, DOT did not spend the funds within the same fiscal year in which they received the transfer due to a misunderstanding that the funds could not be used for prior year expense.

To avoid errors in key lines, such as administrative expenses, RLF income earned during the fiscal year, and RLF income used for administrative costs for the fiscal year. 8. To further avoid discrepancies, BFCOG will move to a semi-annual administrative expense reimbursement cycle to align with the semi-annual reporting periods. By doing this instead of only once at year's end, we will lessen the chance of those expenses being missed in reporting. 9. The primary responsibilities of this process will be transferred to our Staff Accountant (A. Fernandez) and reviewed with the Authorized Representative/Lending Director (M. Holt). During this transfer of duties, our Staff Accountant and Authorized Representative/Lending Director will ensure adequate training for upcoming reporting cycles and proper internal and EDA-level review. 10.

FINDING 2024-003 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Reporting Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Dana Gault, Controller Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 765-382-3762 dgault@cityofmarion.in.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Explanation: While the City concurs with the finding that funds were reported as expended in the April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 program reporting period, while in fact, these funds were merely transferred from the City’s American Rescue Plan Act Local Fiscal Recovery Fund to accounts for the City’s Redevelopment Commission and Airport Authority, and were not actually expended during said program reporting period from the accounts to which they had been transferred. The City wishes to make it clear that the City made the relevant transfers appropriately and did so to advance permissible programs and projects under the Award Terms and Conditions of the City’s Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Program award. At all times, the City maintained awareness of the funds in question and the status of the programs and projects being undertaken by the Redevelopment Commission and Airport Authority, respectively. The only matter with which the City concurs is the finding that, for purposes of reporting in the City’s Project and Expenditure Report, these funds were in fact transferred to allow the Redevelopment Commission and Airport Authority, respectively, to expend the funds, and that this transfer was reported as an expenditure of such funds in error. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Deputy Controller will prepare the report and the Controller and the Financial Advisor will review and approve the current reporting period dates and data are correct. We will update the INTERNAL CONTROL to require that the Deputy Controller, Controller and Financial Advisor will include in their preparation and review, identification of the specific expenditure underlying any report of expended funds to avoid future incidents of a transfer of funds being mischaracterized as an expenditure of funds.

Finding 2024-012 – Material Weakness – Maintenance of Effort Condition The Maintenance of Effort (MOE) calculation is calculated annually by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (WI DPI) based on the information submitted in the PI-1505 report. There was a $16,977,949 variance between what was reported in the PI-1505 and the District's accounting records for the revenue source code 751. Due to this variance, we recalculated the MOE based on the District's accounting records. The MOE on a per pupil basis would have still been met. Corrective Action Plan The Office of Finance is committed to timely and accurate financial reporting. As we aim to improve our financial reporting due to DPI, our ACFR preparation and our SEFSA preparation, we will ensure that our reporting reconciles and there are no variances. We are working to improve, as mentioned in all the findings above, related to financial reporting. We recognize that this is critical for funding purposes for our district and it is our intent that this finding is remedied for FY25 reporting.
