Finding Ref. No. 2022-002 Finding: The Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR 200.303, requires non-Federal entities receiving Federal Awards (i.e., auditee management) to establish and maintain effective internal controls over the Federal Award that provide reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is man...
Finding Ref. No. 2022-002 Finding: The Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR 200.303, requires non-Federal entities receiving Federal Awards (i.e., auditee management) to establish and maintain effective internal controls over the Federal Award that provide reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal Award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the Federal Award. 20 CFR 604.3(a) requires a State to only pay an individual who is able to work and available for work for the week which Unemployment Compensation (UC) is claimed. Based on work performed on unemployment compensation payments at the Alabama Department of Labor, for the period of October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022, we identified 243 payments, totaling $58,809.00, which were made to 22 deceased claimants. We also identified an additional 186 payments, totaling $42,276.00, which were made to 27 incarcerated claimants. The combined improper payments to deceased or incarcerated claimants total $101,085.00 for the Unemployment Insurance Program. The Alabama Department of Labor did not have internal controls in place which were adequately designed to identify deceased or incarcerated claimants in a timely manner, in order to help prevent and/or detect improper payments. The lack of a well-designed system of internal controls, to identify deceased or incarcerated claimants, could cause the Alabama Department of Labor to continue to pay benefits to claimants who are deceased or incarcerated. Recommendation: The Alabama Department of Labor should establish and maintain effective internal controls to help ensure payments are not made to deceased or incarcerated claimants. Response/Views: We agree with the finding. Corrective Action Planned: ADOL now utilizes IDV through the Integrity Data Hub (IDH) for death crossmatch, giving ADOL the capability to crossmatch all claimants through the IDV. However, the review process is manual at this time. ADOL continues to pursue a fully automated process with the system vendor. ADOL is also working with the Interstate Connection Network (ICON) through the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) to implement a match of SSN?s with the Social Security Administration?s Prisoner Update Processing System (PUPS). This will allow records to be checked in a nationwide database not just the State of Alabama. Reason for the Recurrence: The cause of this was due to the workload of pandemic claims and the lack of requirements to provide proof of income and employment. Prior to the pandemic a person had to have wages in order to qualify for benefits, eliminating a deceased person of more than 2 years from being monetarily eligible for benefits. Any remaining claimants that had died would be reported by the employer or through returned mail or a surviving of family member. Any notice of deceased person would be reviewed. With no way to verify whether a person was deceased or not, some did pay benefits. Anticipated Completion Date: ADOL implemented checking claims through IDH June 2022. Netacent, the vendor who maintains ADOL?s unemployment system, anticipates the PUPs project to be fully functioning by December 31,2023. Contact Person(s): Brent Langley, Assistant Unemployment Administrator

FINDING 2022-007 (Auditor Assigned Reference Number) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Todd VanDerWeele Contact Phone Number: 574.223.2159 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. 1. The Curriculum Director will create a control at the beginning of the school year so that we can properly ensure all parties receive test security training. This will be a google document, separated by tabs at the bottom for each building, with the names of all staff members. The control will also contain columns that can be check marked when test security forms and training is completed. The control will also contain a box to show the date training was completed. 2. We will have this document for training on test security in each building in August and September. Each staff member will sign the document to show they received the training. 3. The Curriculum Director will create an agenda for each training to properly ensure all staff members are trained. 4. All staff members will also be required to sign the test security form provided by the IDOE at their respective training. 5. For all staff members who miss training at their building, a Google Form will be provided with all of the test security information. Staff members will be required to fill out the form and watch the training video. The form will be time and date stamped. 6. The Curriculum Director will update the control at least once a week until all staff members are trained. Anticipated Completion Date: February 2024

Finding Number: 2022-001 Planned Corrective Action: Mid-East's Adult Education Financial Coordinator retired at the end of Fiscal Year 2021. As any new position, there was a learning curve and the new Financial Aid Coordinator received limited training with the former Coordinator. Consultants were hired to help, but this specific reconciliation process was not discussed. There has been a recent change in the Adult Education Director's position, and it is the intention of the new Director to eventually cross-train positions. This will assist in the future for a smoother transition between employees leaving and new employees hired. Since the finding, the Adult Education Financial Coordinator has established a checklist of items that need to be completed for each drawdown. This checklist will be placed in each drawdown folder. The Monthly Drawdown Reconciliation plan will include beginning with verifying with Common Origination and Disbursement Center (COD) School Summery report prior to the disbursement. Once the disbursement information is entered into Ed-Express and transferred to COD for the month review of the School Summary report, it will be reviewed to verify that the "Cash>Net Accepted & Posted Disbursements" matches the Achademix Drawdown Batch. Then, again when the disbursement funds are disbursed, a review of the COD School Summary report will occur. At any time, if a variance occurs, it will be addressed immediately. This plan of action went into place with the February 17, 2023 disbursement process. All documentation of any reconciliations will be kept in each drawdown file. The variance of the $866.00 occurred during the final drawdown of Fiscal Year 2022. As the reconciliation process was not in place, the variance was not discovered. As a new Fisca Year started, it was a new batch of funds, and the $866 variance was not discovered until the audit process. The variance was researched and corrected. The correction was located and corrected in Ed Express and had no monetary effect. The School Summary report from COD Cash>Net Accepted & Posted Disbursements" is at zero for 2021-2022, and documentation has been kept on that. The newly implemented checklist and process for reconciliation will prevent variances from happening in the future. Anticipated Completion Date: Currently in place and will continue. Responsible Contact Person: Thasia Shilling, Adult Education Financial Aid Coordinator

FINDING 2022-003 (Auditor Assigned Reference Number) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Monica Kegerreis, Assistant Superintendent Contact Phone Number: 574-831-2188 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: The ESSER reports requested by IDOE will follow the same procedures of all FER reports. The ?data collection? for the ESSER grants was not identified as a financial report, and thus did not follow these processes. Now that we know this is a financial report, the steps below will be followed. The grant was initially not set up correctly and expenses were expended to and then transferred to the correct accounts once the grants were set up correctly. These changes were in flux when the report was requested, so what was reported at the time of the report is no longer what is reflected in grants? ledgers. The corrective action will require that the program director gathers the initial data, the data will be reviewed by the administrative assistant to the grants? director, and then reviewed by the Treasurer. All three employees will sign/initial a printed copy of the report before it is submitted. Data regarding students served by programs and staff reports will be reviewed by the program director and the data specialist and signed off on by both parties to ensure accuracy. Anticipated Completion Date: March 24, 2023

Finding: 2022-001 Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution, COVID-19 HRSA Claims Reimbursement for the Uninsured Program and the COVID-19 Coverage Assistance Fund Federal Financial Assistance Listing #: #93.498, 93.461 Finding Summary: Management prepared the schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended June 30, 2022. During testing, the auditors decreased the amount reported for the COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution program (PRF) to the amounts reported within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for Period 2 and Period 3 Special Report. In addition, adjustments were made to decrease the amount reported for the COVID-19 HRSA Claims Reimbursement for the Uninsured Program and the COVID-19 Coverage Assistance Fund (Uninsured Program) to total receipt of monies received from the federal agency during the year ended June 30, 2022. Finding 2022-001 relates solely to which period expenditures are included in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards as compared to periods deposited from the Uninsured Program and to periods in which they are included in Period 2 and Period 3 reports.

Finding 2022-005 Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution FFAL #93.498 Finding Summary: The review process for the Period 4 HHS report submitted did not detect the error reported regarding the actual reported revenues for 2019 that were incorrectly keyed into the portal submission. Additionally, the revenues for 2022 were reported based upon actual revenue billed and reported within the electronic medical records (EMR) system which does not include monthly or quarterly adjustments posted to the general ledger. Responsible Individuals: Amanda Soesbe, Chief Finance Officer Corrective Action Plan: There are no further PRF Portal submissions. The control aspect implemented to involve review of the portal submission will be expanded if further submissions are warranted. An expanded control would require the CFO to review in detail with the reviewer how the numbers were obtained and provide all supporting documentation for cross reference against the requirements. This may require extra time to educate and inform the reviewer of the PRF program and requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: 12-31-2023

FINDING 2022-003: COVID-19 ? Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds ? Internal Controls Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Clerk-Treasurer Richard Aguirre Contact Phone Number: (574) 533-8623 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: To enhance internal controls, the City of Goshen Clerk-Treasurer?s Office has identified and segregated duties related to the preparation of the Schedule of Federal Awards (SEFA). Using the checklist from the SBOA as a reference, an internal checklist has been created to use for annual review of the policies and procedures. For this year in particular, a revisiting of the policies and procedures is necessary to address and clarify segregation of duties, both for internal and external purposes. The design, including segregation of duties, exists between the Clerk-Treasurer, Deputy Clerk-Treasurer, and the Grants Manager. However, the reporting procedures can be improved, specifically in how implementation generates verifiable proof and documentation. What is cited below is more of a ?retroactive finding? from 2021, since SBOA did not audit these funds previously. There also had been a series of difficulties with the Treasury portal; by the time the system was corrected, the reports were submitted. Regarding the procedures, the City of Goshen undertook data entry, review, and submission using three different individuals, and there is evidence of this review that has not been acknowledged by the SBOA. The review and oversight process, however, is being improved in light of this new finding. The revision of policies will more effectively articulate the steps that effect internal control and ensure consistent implementation. To ensure the accuracy of Project and Expenditure Reports prior to submission to the U.S. Department of Treasury, the preparer will email the reviewer when a report is ready for review. The reviewer will respond to the email when the information is reviewed and include any errors noted that need to be corrected. This email correspondence will be kept and provided to state auditors. The City also will maintain an approval sheet indicating that the review of the report has been completed and the reviewer will sign and date the approval sheet and note any errors found during the review. Anticipated Completion Date: This process should be reviewed and ready by the next SEFA preparation, in January 2024. ? Completed and submitted to the State Board of Accounts, Aug. 29, 2023

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY 2022-002 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds ? Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Recommendation: The Health Board should ensure that program managers are aware of the significant compliance requirements of an award and implement a system of internal control that supports compliance and documentation of compliance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: We respectfully disagree with the characterization of the finding as a material weakness in internal control. The sample size of 28 selections called for 3 specific source documents to be provided in association with each sample. Thus, 10 out of a total of 84 source documents requested were not immediately available. The eligibility forms in question are part of the process which initiates the determination of the validity of the request for assistance. Due to the sensitive nature of this program, these documents are not readily available electronically (in order to protect the privacy of the recipients). The Health Board?s Community Services Team, which includes Rapid Rehousing, Gender-Based Violence, and Emergency Housing, experienced significant turnover due to the pandemic. We have informed the auditor about the turnover challenges faced by this specific department and the difficulties in securing physical documentation. Action taken in response to finding: In September 2022, the Community Service Team began reporting to the Health Board?s Behavioral Health Officer. Under her direction, processes have been updated and documented along with the creation of a stronger review process. The health board remains committed to further strengthening our controls and processes where necessary. We will ensure that program managers are aware of the compliance requirements associated with the award and implement a robust system of internal control that supports compliance and proper documentation. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Linda Zhang, CFO Planned completion date for corrective action plan: September 30, 2023 If the U.S. Department of Treasury has questions regarding this plan, please call Linda Zhang, CFO at (206) 324-9360.

FINDING 2022-001 Information on the federal program: Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster ? Internal Controls Federal Agency: Department of Agriculture Federal Program: School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.553, 10.555 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Reporting Audit Finding: Material Weakness 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 reporting compliance requirement. Context: We noted that for one claim in a sample of four, the school lunch meal count was overclaimed for the month. We noted that in October 2020 the School Corporation had overclaimed lunches by 173 meals. We noted that the sponsor claim reimbursement form had been reviewed, however, the lack of an effective review allowed the error to go unnoticed. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Going forward, we will have multiple people verifying the data before submission to reimbursement for claims to make sure all meals submitted meet the criteria and eligibility of the Child Nutrition Cluster. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: The Food Service Director and the Corporation Treasurer are the responsible parties for this corrective action. This has already been implemented.
