Woodall 765-653-3757 Views of Responsible Officials: Concur with audit finding. 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

Identifying Number: 2022-002: U.S. Department of Education: Education Stabilization Fund: Student Aid Portion ? 84.425E; Institutional Portion ? 84.425F Finding: The required quarterly public reports were not posted to the District?s website for the student aid portion or the institutional portion. Corrective Action Taken or Planned: This relates to the reporting requirements of funds received under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES), the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA), and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) legislation, more commonly referred to as Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds I, II, and III. The legislation included reporting requirements for both the Institutional portion and Student Aid portions of the federal awards. Institutional reports are to be filed with the US Department of Education (USDOE) on forms prescribed by the Department indicating expenditures in eligible categories for the covered quarter. A standardized reporting document was not established for the Student Aid Distributions; however, distribution amounts, determination methodologies, and eligibility requirements are to be reported in a conspicuous location on the Institute of Higher Education?s website. Institutional reports have been completed. The required expenditure information was reported on the quarterly report associated with the actual draw down of the federal funds from the USDOE grants management system (G5) and not when the actual expenditures were incurred. The basis for reporting the expenditures in this manner was derived from an incorrect interpretation of a Technical Assistance Webinar related to Quarterly Reporting requirements and guidance contained in correspondence received from the USDOE Program Contact. The Student Aid portion of the federal award has been distributed in multiple awards corresponding to specific periods of student enrollment (i.e., Spring 2020, Fall 2020, Spring 2021, Fall 2021, Spring 2022). Reporting for the Spring 2020 and Fall 2020 distribution periods have been posted to Southeast Technical College?s website for the Spring/Fall 2020 distribution. Additional corrective actions will include the College compiling the Student Award information for the remaining distributions for publication on the website as required under the various HEERF guidelines and legislation. Reporting deadlines will be confirmed and posted to staff calendars to ensure timely review and filing of all reports. Future reports will be posted on a timely basis following supervisory review by the Vice President of Finance and Operations, Southeast Technical College. Contact person: Rich Kluin, Vice President ? Finance and Operations, Southeast Technical College Status of finding ? The above corrective actions will be implemented beginning April 1, 2023.

Betsy Rohde, Business Manager for the Colome Consolidated School District, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. This finding is due to the limited number of staff employed in the district's business office. The size of the school district and the monetary resources available prevent the hiring of additional staffing to the business office at the proper levels for internal controls. The Colome Consolidated School District has an internal controls policy to identify areas of risk and implements that policy to reduce the risk of any mistakes and inappropriate or illegal activity within the school district. The school board will review the policy to identify any areas that still leave a significant risk to ensure all financial activities are monitored by more than one individual. This is an ongoing process.

The Wagner Community School District Business Manager, Lory DuFrain, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. This finding is due to the limited number of staff employed in the district's business office. Staffing the office at an efficient and financially feasible level precludes the hiring of enough personnel to provide an ideal environment for the internal controls. We are aware of the weakness in internal controls and will continue to develop policies and procedures and provide compensating controls to reduce the risk. The Wagner School District did adopt a new Internal Control Policy DHA on December 11, 2017 that does address many of these issues, and would ask for consideration reflecting this implementation. This will be an ongoing process, requiring continual analysis of processes and procedures in order to minimize the risk.

The Hanson School District Business Manager, Jodi Hruby, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. Finding Number 2022-001 is due to the limited number of staff employed in the district's business office. Staffing the office at an efficient and financially feasible level precludes the hiring of enough personnel to provide an ideal environment for internal controls. The district is aware of the continued weakness in internal controls and will continue to develop policies and procedures and provide on-going controls to reduce the risk. Procedures are altered at the times throughout the year to try to mitigate for the lack of segregation of duties, due to the limited staff. This will be an ongoing process, requiring continual analysis of processes and procedures in order to minimize the risk of the district.

Continuing forward, the finance department will work Project Heal to ensure all rent is paid according to space and area. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Kelly Scott, Deputy CEO Anticipated Completion Date: 4/30/2023

Finding Number: 2022-014 ? SEFA Preparation Corrective Action Plan: In 2022, the office had downsized due to turnover in staff.

The South Central Cooperative Director, Kristi Hilzendeger, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. This finding is due to the size of the South Central Cooperative, which precludes staffing at a level sufficient to provide an ideal environment for internal controls. The Cooperative has developed policies to help monitor the lack of segregation of duties, but due to the size of the Cooperative it is not feasible, or fiscally responsible to implement anything else at this time. The Cooperative will continue to follow the controls currently in place.

Finding 2022-004 Reporting Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Finding Summary: In our sample of reports selected for testing, we noted the following items; o No support could be provided to substantiate a secondary level of review was completed for student and institutional portion quarterly reports for the quarters ended 12/31/2021 and 3/31/2022 and the year two annual report. o Student portion quarterly reports ending 12/31/2021 and 3/31/2022 reported cumulative expenditures incurred from the inception of the federal program rather than expenditures incurred within the quarter, resulting in an error of $105,202 in the first report and $165,154 in the second report. Responsible Individuals: Dr. Lane Azure, President Corrective Action Plan: o The reporting was completed by the Comptroller. The comptroller provided the president with the report to review the report, then the report was provided to the website staff member who uploaded the report on the website in the particular area designated specifically for COVID19 reporting. The College will ensure documentation of secondary level of review and approval is retained. o The errors occurred due to a misunderstanding of how to report this particular line item. A better understanding of proper reporting requirements has been attained. All of these items were items that were not deliberately conducted by any staff member at the college. SWC blames the ever-changing method of reporting and how to spend these funds. On several occasions, the president randomly selected other TCU to see how their reporting was being done and on more than several occasions, there was no reporting to view or compare and contrast to.
