Finding Summary: Part of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) requires direct recipients of certain federal awards to report subaward information by the end of the month following the month in which the prime awardee obligates a subgrant award equal to $30,000 (or $25,000 for federal agencies that have not yet adopted amendments effective November 12, 2020).

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN OF CURRENT AUDIT FINDINGS June 30, 2023 Finding 2023-001 Information on the federal program: Subject: Education Stabilization Fund – Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: COVID-19 - Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D, 84.425U Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Audit Findings: Material Weakness, Noncompliance Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Special Tests and Provisions – Wage Rate Requirements compliance requirements. The School Corporation did not include Davis Bacon wage rate requirements in its contract with vendor which includes labor. The School Corporation did not obtain the weekly payroll reports certifications from a construction company and its subcontractors for a building project. Context: The School Corporation did not have an internal control designed to collect the weekly payroll reports certifications from a construction company and its subcontractors, as applicable, for building projects which included playground equipment. As of June 30, 2023, $75,190 was disbursed related to this capital project. The construction payments represented approximately 2.7% of the Education Stabilization Fund expenditures for the audit period. Therefore, no review was performed to ensure that pay rates complied with the federal wage rate requirements. The construction contracts did not include clauses for federal wage rate requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. For any contracts related to projects with a cost of greater than $2,000 for the construction, alternation, or repair of public buildings or public works and which are federally funded, management will include a Davis Bacon wage rate requirement clause in the contract or request the vendor to sign a certificate or contract amendment affirming the contractor will comply with federal wage requirements. Management will designate a project manager to oversee the federally funded project and ensure the collection of the required weekly payroll wage report and document their review verifying prevailing wages are being paid to contractors. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Mary Ann Baines, Director of Financial Operations/Treasurer, will oversee the corrective action plan which will be implemented immediately and steps will be taken to collect on wage reports for work performed since July 1, 2023.

FINDING 2023-002 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster - Eligibility Summary of Findings: An effective internal control system, which would include segregation of duties, was not in place at the School Corporation to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Eligibility compliance requirement. The free and reduced-price applications were completed online by the applicants, and the information was automatically uploaded into the School Corporation's nutrition program software system. The software system then calculated the student's eligibility for free and reduced-price meals based on the parameters in the system. There was no documented oversight, review, or approval process to ensure the parameters in the system were correct and that the eligibility determination made complied with the requirements of the programs. The lack of internal controls was a systematic issue throughout the audit period. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Julie Dudley Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812.537.7205 jdudley@lburg.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Food Service Director and Business Manager have added the verification of every 30th Free/Reduce application that is submitted during the school year to their monthly checklists. Beginning with the 2024-25 school year, the Food Service Director will enter the eligibility parameters into the school nutrition software. Once entered the Food Service Director will provide a copy of the prices entered into the system to be reviewed and approved by the Business Manager or Superintendent.

Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. The School Corporation submitted two reports during the audit period; however, a single employee prepared and submitted the reports without evidence of a review or oversight process in place to prevent or detect and correct errors for the first report submission. Additionally, for the ESSER I Year 2 reporting, the ‘Total Mandatory Subgrant Amount Expended in Current Reporting Period’ was not supported by the School Corporation's records. Actual expenditures from a provided report did not agree to the amount submitted for the Annual Performance Reporting.
