Finding #2024-002 – Material Audit Adjustments (Prior Year Finding #2023-002) Condition: The audit proposed adjusting journal entries during the audit process to adjust District account balances. We deem these entries to be significant in relation to the financial statements. Since the District did not make these adjustments in its accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness was determined to exist in the District’s internal controls. Effect: Financial reports generated by the accounting system may not provide an accurate reflection of the District’s financial position or activities. Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and numerous adjustments were needed in order to correct account balances. Criteria: Material adjusting journal entries not prepared by the District before the audit are considered an internal control weakness. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded in a timely manner. Response: The District will establish policies and procedures to reduce the number of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor in future years.

Strengthening Internal Controls Over Determination of Applications Demonstrating Questionable Eligibility The School Corporation will develop and implement a segregation of duties, ensuring that current individuals approve applications, perform Direct Certification checks, and conduct follow-up verifications of questionable applicatoins in a more directed manor. If an applicant provides a case number that does not appear on the Direct Certification list the School Corporation will: 1. Review the application based on standard income eligibility requirements, while confirming the application will remain subject to verification. 2. If $0 income is provided or the application is otherwise 'questionable' then the reviewing individual will add the following to the application comments field: reviewing individual name, reason for review request, to whom the application will be escalated. 3. Apply benefits to siblings, if appropriate. 4. Not complete the final step of marking the application as processed, rather leave it 'pending' and notify Director of School Nutrition of the need for this application to be reviewed. 5. Director of School Nutrition or designee will review and either confirm the DC status by downloading the certification or conduct follow-up verification. In either case, approved or verification for cause, the Director of School Nutrition or Designee will mark the application as processed. 6. If the verification for cause is not responded to in a timely manner, the status will revert to 'Paid' status as per 'verification for cause' guidelines. 2. Corrective Follow-Up and Reporting The School Corporation will review all applications from current year (FY 24-25) to identify any applications not subject to verification process. Management will report progress on implementing these corrective actions to the School Board and maintain records for review by auditors and state officials. 3. Anticipated Completion Date The review of current year (FY 24-25) applications will be completed March 21, 2025. The school board report will be completed April 11, 2025.

Context: For testing of activities allowed and unallowed, a sample of 21 vendor vouchers were selected for testing. Two vouchers totaling $61,841 were related to disbursements for floor replacement costs incurred and charged to the ESSER III grant award. The School Corporation received approval from the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) through the grant application to utilize a portion of the ESSER II grant award for floor replacement throughout the School Corporation. During the audit period, the School Corporation had $88,600 that was disbursed and reported on the SEFA for ESSER II and $142,400 that was disbursed and reported on the SEFA for ESSER III for floor replacement. The School Corporation did not receive approval from the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) to use ESSER III funding for the flooring project as required for construction or remodeling related projects. The total amount of the flooring project funded by the ESSER III grant, including amounts paid prior to the audit, was $219,992. The portion of the flooring project paid by the ESSER II grant was $163,000 which was properly approved by IDOE. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Lisa Baker, Business Manager Contact Phone Number: 765-664-0624 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The School Corporation will put a system in place to ensure that each grant application is printed in its entirety, including the narratives, and file them in the appropriate grant files maintained by the business manager. The business manager will verify that the agreed upon expenditures are included in the grant application before any orders are placed or purchases are approved. Additionally, accounting descriptions set up in the financial software will better reflect IDOE-approved expenditures. Anticipated Completion Date: February 25, 2025
