EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF LABOR AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT 2024-011 WIOA Cluster - Assistance Listing No. 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 Recommendation: The Department should review its procedures to ensure that ETA 9130 reports are accurate and agree with supporting documentation.

Supporting documentation will be cross-checked for accuracy and completeness, and all relevant files will be maintained in a centralized, shared folder to ensure transparency and accountability. This multi-layered review and documentation process will be incorporated into standard quarterly reporting procedures to prevent future discrepancies and ensure federal reporting integrity.

FINDING 2024-003 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster – Internal Controls Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Heather Bontrager, Director of Nutrition and Whitney Dixon, Treasurer Contact Phone Number: 574-533-8631 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles This finding was limited to payroll claims and payroll vendor disbursements and did not involve accounts payable vendor disbursements. For payroll disbursements, once payroll is processed, a distribution report is sent to the Director of Nutrition to review all employees paid from the Federal Nutrition Program (Fund 0800). The Director communicates any necessary corrections to employee distributions, which are then adjusted by the payroll specialist, if needed. During the audit period, the school corporation experienced a vacancy in the payroll specialist position. As a result, the Treasurer processed payroll and the Deputy Treasurer conducted the reviews. However, the school corporation did not obtain signatures on the payroll reports during this time. The only signed documentation was the ACH report used for the bank upload. Going forward, the school will implement the use of digital signatures whenever possible to document payroll report reviews. For payroll vendor claims, vouchers are generated from the financial system and are signed by both the payroll specialist and the Chief Financial Officer. These signed vouchers are also included on the board docket. Although this process was in place during the audit period, the school corporation did not have a fully effective internal control system to ensure that all payroll reports were consistently signed following review by the Treasurer. Anticipated Completion Date: June 2025
