Corrective Action Plan: The coronavirus pandemic and the Minnesota Governor?s resulting emergency closure of large, in person gatherings through May 28, 2021, impacted the theatre ability to produce live, in-person theatre events. The Theatre continued to operate but with minimum staffing levels to decrease expenses. Due to the lower staffing levels, segregated duties were not always possible. Several of the items tested were from this decreased staffing timeframe. The Theatre will re-evaluate internal controls to mitigate the risk of non-compliance. To assist in this process, the theatre will add a Chief Operating Officer position. This position will assist in evaluating controls and procedures. They will also contribute an additional level of oversight on expense.

Audit period: July 01, 2021 through June 30, 2022 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Finding 2022-001 Enrollment Reporting Criteria: Title IV regulations (34 CFR 685.309(b)) require that upon receipt of an enrollment report from the Secretary, institutions must update all information included in the report and return the report to the Secretary: (i) in the manner and format prescribed by the Secretary: and (ii) within the timeframe prescribed by the Secretary. Unless it expects to submit its next updated enrollment report to the Secretary within the next 60 days, an institution must notify the Secretary within 30 days after the date the institution discovers that: (i) a loan under Title IV of the Act was made to or on behalf of a student who was enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the institution, and the student has ceased to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis or failed to enroll on at least half-time basis for the period for which the loan was intended; or (ii) a student who is enrolled at the institution and who received a loan under Title IV of the Act has changed his or her permanent address. Recommendation: The School should revise its procedures to ensure accurate enrollment information is sent to NSLDS with the required timeframe for all students. Corrective Action Plan: Procedural changes implemented by the school during the Spring 2022 semester that allow for more frequent and timely enrollment reporting will correct this type of enrollment reporting error going forward. In addition, school administration will update procedures to verify status start dates for any enrollment changes specifically match the student?s enrollment in the student information system.

FINDING 2022-005 Subject: Special Education Cluster ? Period of Performance Audit Findings: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the equipment requirements of the Period of Performance compliance requirement. Context: The School Corporation was a member of a joint service cooperative (Cooperative). The Cooperative operated the special education programs on behalf of the School Corporation and managed the special education grant funds. Because the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education and the School Corporation, the School Corporation was ultimately responsible for compliance with the grant agreement and the Period of Performance compliance requirement. During fiscal year 2021, the School Corporation paid membership fees to the Cooperative out of federal Special Education funds. These membership fees made up approximately 48% of the total federal expenditures reimbursed during fiscal year 2021. The Cooperative accounted for state, local, and federal funds in a single fund. The fund did not separately account for each of the funding sources. This made it difficult to identify which expenditures were from federal funds, or to identify expenditures by federal program, award number, or years. Therefore, we could not test compliance with the period of performance requirements for approximately 48% of the expenditures. The School Corporation did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the period of performance requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that costs were charged to the programs only during the period of performance, or that all obligations were liquidated within 90 days of the end of the period of performance. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were systemic issues, which occurred specifically during fiscal year 2021. No reportable findings were noted for fiscal year 2022. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Members of the cooperative are no longer paying their cooperative member fees with federal funds. This was resolved effective 7/1/2021. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Zach Dennis, CFO, 7/1/2021

FINDING 2022-003 Subject: Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Dustin Dillard Contact Phone Number: 812-331-1906 Views of Responsible Official: We understand and agree with the importance of internal controls and segregation of duties at the District and we believe our policies, procedures, individual job descriptions and management oversight fulfill these necessary requirements, we intend to comply with the suggestions made by the auditing staff. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The SAFER Reimbursement Request spreadsheets are prepared by two administrative personnel who perform checks and balances on calculations, payroll reports, time-keeping reports and employee roster changes before submitting the information to the Fire Chief for review and submission. The District now requires both Administrative personnel to sign and date a cover sheet upon completion of the compilation. The Financial Administrative Assistant will reconcile the data entered into the FEMA portal by the Chief by initialing a printed copy of the dated request. Anticipated Completion Date: To be implemented with all future reimbursement requests following this date 8-23-23 More information about this finding is available in the Supplemental Report.

Finding Number: 2022-001 Condition Found: The Organization was found to have a significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and compliance related to period of performance and cash management. Individual(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Wanda Matthews, CFO and Ellen Krajewski, CEO. Corrective Action Planned: In order to comply with the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 45 CFR 75.309(a), and 45 CFR 75.305(b)(l), and ensure that the timing and amount of advance payments are as close as is administratively feasible to the actual disbursements by the organization for direct program or project costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs, the following process has been established for internal quality control: ? Drawdowns for salary expenses will be completed bi-weekly one week after the second week payroll. Drawdowns for other expenses will be completed at the end of every month for expenses that are documented as paid. This will help to ensure that grant funds expended prior to completing a drawdown in the PMS system. ? The request for disbursement from PMS will be submitted to the CEO with all corresponding backup that includes an earnings summary, documented and approved work hours report, expanded general ledger for other than salary expenses, the statement of revenue and expenditures for each grant, the worksheets that are completed for grant expenditure tracking, and a review checklist for completion by the CEO that includes the following requirements: o Are expenses related to the current budget period? o Is the drawdown amount in line with the expenses? o Is the drawdown amount for expenses that have been paid? o Are the expenses eligible for this grant? o Does the General Ledger and PMS system balances match? o Does supporting documentation provided support the expenses included in drawdown request? o At the end of the month, the statement of revenue and expenditures will be run for each grant. An adjusting entry will be completed to recognize grant revenue based on the verified expenses for each grant and recorded in the adjusting entry journal. o The adjusting entry journal is presented to the CEO for approval along with all supporting documentation for review and approval. Anticipated Completion Date: The process was started immediately upon notification of the finding. An updated Policy and Procedure will be submitted to the Board of Directors at the October 24, 2022 meeting.

Finding 2022-001: Reporting Recommendation: The Hospital should strengthen their system of internal controls around the review of HRSA guidance to ensure that all reporting is consistent with requirements and instructions as provided by regulatory agencies. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding. Although reported in the incorrect quarter, the Hospital did incur expenses in excess of the amount of ARPA funds received. In addition, the Hospital also suffered lost revenues in excess of the ARPA funds received. Management will refine its review process of HRSA guidance and data entry into the portal to ensure appropriate designation between reporting periods. Children?s Hospital & Medical Center and Affiliates Corrective Action Plan: Management inadvertently reported expenses in the incorrect quarter of the Period 4 report submission. Although reported incorrectly, reported expenses were still above the total ARPA payments received. For future reporting, management will reinforce the reporting of activities in the proper quarter prior to submission. Completion Date: Completed Contact Person: Mindy Stetson 402-955-6765

This is a repeat finding that was only first reported to Met Council at the end of the fiscal year covered by this audit. As such, the finding could not possibly have been corrected until fiscal year 2023. The policies to ensure the accuracy of our payroll and accounts payable processes were immediately adopted after the receipt of the fiscal year 2021 audit recommendation at the end of the 2022 fiscal year. As a result, our recommended course of action, as stated below, remains unchanged from the prior year: Payroll Review Electronic timesheets are completed and submitted by employees through the payroll system. All timesheets must be approved electronically by an employee's supervisor. The Senior Human Resources Manager, Benefits, reviews and signs the preprocessing payroll register prior to submission. Once approved the Payroll/Human Resources Administrator submits the payroll to the payroll administrator for processing. The Payroll/Human Resources Administrator sends the signed preprocessing register by email to the Managing Director of Human Resources, the Controller, and the Senior Budget Director listing all the exceptions for the current payroll. The Fiscal Project Manager then, through the payroll administrator, will generate a salary summary that includes a listing of the prior payroll and the current payroll indicating any differences. The fiscal project manager then sends the last page of the processed payroll register along with the salary summary to the Managing Director of Human Resources and the Controller for their review and signature approval. The payroll journal entry is generated by the Fiscal Project Manager and uploaded into the accounting software for review and approval by the Controller. Accounts Payable ("AP") Review The AP Accountant saves a PDF of each invoice (whether received electronically or on paper) and sends an email together with the invoice to the respective program director for approval. The program directors approve and code the invoices by signature which they then email back to the AP team for processing. When an invoice is coded to be charged to a grant ? the invoice is also placed in a folder by date on the shared drive for the Budget Department to review and approve the grant coding on each invoice. Once the coding is initialed and dated by the Senior Director of Budgets and Grants, it is entered into our accounting software for AP processing.
