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

Finding 2024-002 - Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Material Weakness) CFDA Title and Number 10.555 National School Lunch Program cluster Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Compliance/Internal Control over Compliance: Auditee Responsibilities Criteria: CFR Part 200.508, CFR Part 200.510, Auditee Responsibilities state that the auditee must prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, which must list individual Federal awards by Federal Agency, including the total Federal awards expended, name of the pass-through entity, CFDA number, and total amount provided to subrecipients. The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards should be derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Condition: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was presented for audit with values that were not reconciled with the general ledger. Cause: The District relied on individuals with insufficient training or support to prepare the SEFA and ensure that it was reconciled with general ledger amounts. District management did not have sufficient training or monitoring policies to recognize and correct the deficiency. Effect or Potential Effect: Expenditures of federal awards and not be detected and corrected. Because the Auditee’s SEFA was completed incorrectly, and not reconciled to the general ledger the SEFA was materially misstated, prior to auditors’ correction recommendations. Questioned Cost: No Context: Lack of adequate controls over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and related accounting resulted in the following: • SEFA was originally presented for auditors with incorrect information. • No reconciliation between federal expenditures reported on the GL and the SEFA was presented. • Recording of State vs Federal activities was not posted to the GL correctly, requiring adjustments during the audit. • Not all grants were recorded in separate and identifiable GL accounts. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: Yes Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs. Internal controls should be designed to prevent, detect, or correct errors in a timely manner by performing periodic reconciliations of the SEFA information to the general ledger throughout the fiscal year. The District should provide appropriate training to staff who are assigned to prepare and review the SEFA. City’s Response: The District acknowledges the deficiencies. Corrective Action Plan: The District will establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs. Planned Implementation Date: October 1, 2025 Responsible Person: Director of Business Services, Myrtle Point School District No. 41

Identifying Number: 2024-001 Finding: Current management noted that the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023, were materially misstated for certain contribution transactions recorded in error in the amount of $7,997,654. Those errors were corrected and recorded in fiscal year 2024, which is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The entire finance team was new in FY24. During an internal review, management identified that certain revenue transactions had been recorded incorrectly in the prior fiscal year (FY23), resulting in a materially misstated ending balance for FY23 and, consequently, an inaccurate beginning balance for FY24. Because FY23 had already been closed and audited, the necessary corrections were recorded in FY24. Management proactively informed the new auditors of these adjustments. Due to the materiality of the correction, the auditors determined that the FY23 ending balance needed to be reinstated. As a result, they expanded their scope to include a re-audit of FY23 to ensure the accuracy of the reinstated balances, which extended the overall audit timeline. It’s important to emphasize that this finding was self-identified and communicated by management, and the correction was properly recorded in FY24. No further corrective action is required for FY25. Throughout FY24, the finance team has worked diligently to strengthen internal policies, processes, controls, and systems, which contributed to a clean audit result for FY24. This finding relates solely to FY23 and does not reflect the current state of financial management. Name of Responsible Person: Manizha Nabieva, CFO Projected Date of Completion: 05/28/2025 Identifying Number: 2024-002 Finding: Federation of American Scientists’ fiscal year 2024 data collection form was not submitted within nine months after the end of the audit period. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The delay in filing the data collection form was directly related to the delay in finalizing the audit, as noted in the first finding above. Since this was our first year working with RSM, the audit scope expanded significantly due to the reinstatement of beginning balances. The auditors required additional time to ensure the accuracy of the financial statements before issuing their final report. We will finalize and submit the data collection form as soon as the audit is complete, but no later than May 28, 2025. To prevent similar delays in the future, we have already initiated discussions with our auditors regarding the FY25 audit and plan to begin the audit process in October 2025. Name of Responsible Person: Manizha Nabieva, CFO Projected Date of Completion: 5/28/2025
