Finding Number: 2023-002 Condition: SOMC Medical Care Foundation, Inc. (MCF) received $1.28M of ARP funding during period 4. As the recipient entity, MCF used the ARP funding in accordance with the terms and conditions, however the reporting on the use of MCF's ARP distributions was not properly completed. The parent company, Southern Ohio Medical Center, completed a consolidated period 4 report, which is appropriate based on the reporting requirements, however the expenses that were reported for the use of the $1.28M received by MCF were expenses of the parent company, not expenses of MCF. Planned Corrective Action: The Management of Southern Ohio Medical Center (SOMC) and its subsidiaries are committed to complying with all terms, conditions, and reporting requirements related to funds received. Management will carefully read and follow all notices relating to reporting requirements and terms and conditions for each type of future funds awarded, paying particular attention to requirements as they pertain to Parent and Subsidiary reporting. In addition, SOMC will ensure that any and all updated guidance provided after the receipt of funds are reviewed and included in the application of used funds. Although SOMC incorrectly reported the use funds received for the subsidiary MCF on the consolidated period 4 report, it is important to note that the ARP funds were used and applied to more than $1.3m of lost revenue during the expense and lost revenue period. SOMC Management cannot amend the period 4 report to reflect this, but Management has updated the detailed internal records identifying the use of funds by applying $1.28m of MCF lost revenue to use of funds for the appropriate periods. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Kara Plummer, CFO Anticipated Completion Date: 3/31/2024

The Cooperative had not designed or implemented adequate policies or procedures to determine that grant expenditures were for the excess costs of providing special education and related services to children with disabilities, were in conformance with the applicable cost principles and were obligated during the award period of performance. There was no documented oversight, review, or approval process in place at the Cooperative to ensure expenditures were allowable, conformed with cost principles and were incurred during the period of performance. Context: The School Corporation is a member of the Greene-Sullivan Special Education Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal year 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all its members.  As the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. However, there was inadequate oversight performed by the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with the Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, and Period of Performance compliance requirements. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, and Period of Performance compliance requirements. The Cooperative had not designed or implemented adequate policies or procedures to determine that grant expenditures were for the excess costs of providing special education and related services to children with disabilities, were in conformance with the applicable cost principles and were obligated during the award period of performance. There was no documented oversight, review, or approval process in place at the Cooperative to ensure expenditures were allowable, conformed with cost principles and were incurred during the period of performance. The lack of internal controls was a systemic issue throughout the audit period. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and will take the following corrective action: 1 – All invoices, as well as receipts, will be documented upon receipt by the Director of Special Education at Greene Sullivan Special Education Cooperative. After this takes place, The Director of Finance at Greene Sullivan Special Education Cooperative will then create vouchers and receipts accordingly. Prior to submission, the Director of Special Education of Greene Sullivan Special Education Cooperative will verify all documents for accuracy. The Superintendent and Treasurer of Southwest School Corporation will review the documentation for the Cooperative at lease semi-annually. Responsible party and timeline for completion: Chris Stitzle, Superintendent – April 1, 2024

FINDING 2023-006 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) – Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Period of Performance Summary of Finding: Material Weakness The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) Special Education – Grants to States program provides grant to states, and through them to Local Educational Agencies (i.e. the School Corporation), to assist them in providing special education and related services to eligible children with disabilities ages 3-21. IDEA’s Special Education – Preschool Grants program provides grants to states, and through them to LEAs to assist them in providing special education and related services to children with disabilities ages three to five and, at the state’s discretion, to twoyear- old children with disabilities who will turn three during the school year. The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. Activities Allowed or Unallowed: The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place over payroll disbursements charged to the special education grants. Payroll disbursements were paid without evidence that the detailed report of payroll disbursements was reviewed and approved by another person not involved in the original payroll process. Period of Performance: A payroll journal report was generated by the Payroll/Benefits Coordinator and reviewed and approved by the Chief Financial Officer or the Deputy Treasurer to ensure costs charged to the special education grants were within the period of performance. However, there was no documented evidence of the review. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Bengamin Mann Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 765-536-0008 bmann@mgusc.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Quarterly grant meetings will be held between the CFO, Deputy Treasurer, and Grant writer. This will ensure compliance requirements continue to be met. The CFO now reviews the Org Charge report and signs off before the payroll batch being released to the bank. This report is generated by Payroll and Benefits. Also, this entire report is now included with board claims for board approval rather than a final summary sheet. Anticipated Completion Date: February 2024

Period of Performance Identification of the federal program: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Homeland Security Federal Program: 97.036, COVID-19 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Pass-Through Entity: Ohio Emergency Management Agency Summary of finding: UC Health did not retain supporting documentation over key aspects of its internal review and approval processes for overtime labor hours that were not directly approved by employee managers. For a portion of overtime labor costs reimbursed under the program, UC Health did not retain sufficient documentation to evidence execution of internal controls that support compliance with the terms and conditions (T&Cs) of specific projects. While management has processes in place to review overtime labor costs for compliance, evidence of all key aspects and conclusions of these reviews was not consistently retained. Planned corrective action: Management agrees with this finding and the need to update documentation policies and procedures to evidence review of compliance with program requirements.

The Downey Adult School concurs with the finding and to prevent future occurrences, the school purchased a new student database management software system (Campus Café) that was implemented on August 1, 2023. The school also partnered with National Student Clearinghouse (NSCH). NSCH articulates with the new student database management software system (Campus Café). The new student database management software system together with National Student Clearinghouse will help to prevent human errors and omissions from occurring when reporting National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) data. While the district purchased the new system in November of 2022, the school did not begin using the new system(s) until August of 2023 because the switch had to be implemented at the beginning of the fiscal year. Implementation is a several month process and all DAS employees have been receiving extensive training (ongoing) to be proficient and comfortable with the new system(s). We have ongoing weekly training for all DAS staff as we continue to fully implement the new student database management software system.
