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.

Finding Number: 2022-005 Condition: Controls in place did not ensure the Organization verified rent paid is reasonable in relation to rents being charged in the area for comparable space. Planned Corrective Action: The Project Heal department verifies rent reasonableness before submission for grant reimbursement and/or billing is made to the finance department. The Staff Accountant called landlords to verify space against rent amount to ensure the amount charged was reasonable and verified against billing. 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. While a process was in place for reconciling, a secondary review was not performed to verify accuracy of the residual value calculations. To strengthen the oversight of financial management in the School, Academica Nevada, the School?s management company, has filled all the open positions and realigned staff responsibilities to reduce individual workloads and provide additional oversight and review. The grant manager will reconcile all grants to ensure proper cutoff, with a secondary review performed by a member of management.

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.

County Judge/Executive?s Response: See answer to 2022-002. County Judge/Executive?s Response: The Fiscal Court hired the County Judge's brother as road foreman because he was the only person who met the requirements for the position and would accept the job, other people were offered the job before the brother, in addition the brother also served in the same position under a previous administration and left on good terms.
