Management agrees that due to turnover in staff during 2022 and 2023, there were gaps in communication leading to the cost allocation formulas and leadsheet account reconciliations not being updated on a continuing basis as reimbursement requests were being to the California Department of Social Services. Management believes that all key accounting positions have since been filled by qualified personnel. A formal close process and reconciliation of all balance sheet accounts and indirect cost allocations each month will ensure reimbursement requests are complete and accurate. Process documentation is also being prepared to help personnel in the accounting department follow proper control procedures.

FINDING 2023-001 Finding Subject: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Reporting Summary of Finding: The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office applied for the Indiana Local Body Camera Grant (ILBC). The sheriff’s office was awarded this grant on January 1, 2023, with a grant cost amount of up to $31,920. This grant is a reimbursable grant through the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. The period of performance was from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office ordered body-worn cameras and equipment on April 26, 2023. The invoice for the cameras and the camera equipment was paid on July 14, 2023. The Kosciusko County Sheriff's Office then submitted a Reimbursement Claim Form on September 11, 2023. The Reimbursement Claim Form shows the Sheriff's Office incorrectly requested the full $31,920. They received $31,920 from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security on September 27, 2023. However, the county had only spent $9,581 of the grant money towards the body camera purchase. Therefore, there is a remaining balance in the fund of $22,339 as of December 31, 2023. Due to the period of performance, the county should have reimbursed the Indiana Department of Homeland Security $22,339. On May 9, 2023, the Sheriff's Office grant administrator submitted a Program Report for the ILBC grant. This report was filed without an implemented internal control or evidence of a review. The report was completed and submitted by the Sheriff's Office grant administrator. The report incorrectly indicated that all expenditures had been completed. As of the date of the submission, the county had not purchased the bodyworn cameras and all federal funds had not been expended. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Alyssa Schmucker Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 574-372-2325 aschmucker@kosciusko.in.gov View of Responsible Officials: We concur with the findings identified. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Kosciusko Sheriff’s Office, grant coordinator will contact IDHS for instruction on how to return the $22,339.00 and prepare a claim to be processed by the Kosciusko County Auditor’s office. The grant balances are submitted each month by departments these are checked and confirmed by the Auditor’s Office this one was overlooked in the review process. The person who applied for the grant no longer works for the county. It is believed the new person handling the grants was not aware that this grant even existed. The Grant Administrator(s) will have someone sign off on the grant report submissions and forward all reports to the Auditor’s Office. Anticipated Completion Date: It is anticipated that this will be completed as soon as the information to return the funds is received from the state and the claim is submitted to the Auditor for payment. This claim will be paid as soon as it is received. On or before 12/31/2024.

We noted that the trial balance and general ledger detail reports originally provided by management were (a) delayed, (b) included unreconciled material account balances, (c) multiple journal entries (material and not material), (c) transactions missing from the trial balance, and (d) some reconciliations that either did not agree with the trial balance or individual transactions could not be traced back from the documentation provided to the general ledger. This had caused delays in the completion of the audit, preparation of financial statements, and associated disclosures and the timely arrival of our audit and single audit conclusion. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement policies and procedures as it relates to the reconciliation of accounts, tracking of transactions, and regular review to ensure that calculations of general ledge account balances are accurate and complete. In addition, we continue to recommend that management revisit its financial closing and reporting policies to include updates to its procedures for year-end closes and the timing of when final journal entries and analysis are performed. Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management acknowledges the delays in producing timely and accurate presentation of financial information and shall update and implement procedures to ensure timely and accurate delivery of a complete final trial balance where balances agree to the supporting schedules, reconciliations, and documentation. These procedures include timely recording of revenues and expense, regular reconciling of bank records against accounts, and other efforts to significantly reduce journal entries outside of appropriate period. anagement is aware of and in the process of improving the reporting from the new financial accounting software. The scripts used for processing and reporting on transactions are currently under review. Management aims to resolve these issues in the current Fiscal Year. In addition, Management has recruitment and retention efforts underway to sufficiently staff the finance organization. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2024

Condition/Context The Foundation’s internal controls require management to obtain prior approval for any significant changes or shortfalls of 25 percent or more of stated level of efforts in key personnel, from the award sponsor. During our testing, out of 22 grants tested, we noted 3 grants with instances where individuals identified as key personnel in the agreement either left the Foundation or had over 25% shortfall of level of efforts, and the sponsor was not timely notified. Our sample was not a statistical sample. Contact Person(s): Kristen Bacon, Director, Finance and Accounting. Corrective action planned: Geneva implemented the following increased measures in FY23 -- LOE operating procedures and JAMIS reports were developed to ensure that material LOE variances were detected, discussed, and if applicable, escalated to the sponsor. The Finance Office will revisit current LOE reports and if necessary, will enhance reporting to improve more visibility and completeness of LOE data by program. The Finance Office will also conduct a refresher training. As stated in the FY22 audit, management believes that review of financial and LOE reporting are clearly defined, documented, and are in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and sponsor requirements; however, management will seek to strengthen the documentation, reporting, training, and communications between Finance and the Department of Programs. If process deficiencies are identified or Standard Operating Procedures are not current, updates will be made, and end user compliance training will be rolled out to ensure a clear understanding.

During our audit, we noted the School did not have sufficient controls in place within the COVID-19 – Education Stabilization Fund federal program to assure compliance with federal equipment and real property management requirements, resulting in material noncompliance. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – This condition and the resulting material noncompliance was caused by a misunderstanding of the cost threshold at which federal equipment and real property management compliance requirements must be applied, due to the School’s adopted internal capitalization threshold being lower than the federal threshold. The School intends to revise its internal capitalization threshold to align with the federal threshold, and to review its other control procedures relating to equipment and real property management requirements to ensure compliance for future federal awards expenditures. Official Responsible – Matthew Cisewski, Executive Director. Planned Completion Date – June 30, 2024. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding – The School agrees with this finding. Plan to Monitor – The School’s Executive Director, Matthew Cisewski, will oversee the implementation of proposed corrective actions and verify that appropriate controls are in place and understood by individuals responsible for federal program oversite at the School to ensure future compliance with federal equipment and real property management requirements.
