December 1, 2022 U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue SW Washington, DC 20202 Re: Corrective Action Plan Pacific School of Religion (PSR) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. 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. Sincerely, Natasha Lee Vice President for Finance and Administration

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

Contracts charged for expenses outside of the period of performance have been credited for ineligible expenses. Share's Director of Finance, Christopher Brox will provide training to accounting staff responsible for expense entry, expense review and approval, and invoicing by June 30, 2023 that include the following topics: - Allowability of expenses based on both contract criteria and the period of performance. - key identifiers that could flag an exception in allowability based on period of performance, and how to catch this in the review of expenses. - General ledger transactions that require further review for period of performance allowability during monthly review of expenses prior to preparing invoices. This training will highlight this being a specific area of focus for review during periods when a contract terms and a new contract starts. This training will happen with all new accounting staff responsible for expense entry and review and will be incorporated as refresher trainings if contract and grant administrator expense reviews identify this as being a continued issue by staff performing expense data entry.

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.

Finding 2022-001 ?Internal Control Over Allowable Activities/Costs and Period of Performance Status: Plan is being formulated. Planned Corrective Action: The Foundation followed the express instructions of the State of Alabama, Department of Finance (the ?Grantor?) to The Alabama Nursing Home Association Education Foundation (the ?Foundation?), which permitted the Foundation to rely upon the certifications of nursing home applicants that the applicant had or will have sufficient unmet needs related to qualifying purposes due to the COVID-19 pandemic to support the receipt of the various allocations of the herein described COVID-19 Funds. Under the terms of the certification, each applying nursing home further certified that for ten (10) years it would maintain auditable records supporting the unmet need and use of the COVID-19 Funds. This manner of requiring only a certification for the distribution to health care providers is consistent with the requirements the federal government used when distributing an array of emergency funding (e.g., provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds) to health care providers to meet the unmet needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The term ?COVID-19 Funds? means those funds the Foundation received from the Grantor with respect to (i) The CARES Act Corona Virus Relief Funds for the period from January 31, 2020 through December 31, 2021, and (ii) America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for unmet needs for qualifying purposes incurred or to be incurred during the period March 11, 2021 through December 31, 2024. To provide further assurance that the COVID-19 Funds were properly applied by the nursing home beneficiaries receiving COVID-19 Funds through the Foundation, the Foundation is working with its outside accountants and legal counsel to develop a look-back review plan. The framework of the look-back review plan will be for each nursing home beneficiary that received COVID-19 Funds to submit during the first month of the third quarter of the calendar year 2024, a worksheet similar to the period reporting worksheets that are required by the federal Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) to justify the COVID-19 provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds received by health care providers. In addition to these HRSA type worksheets, a more in-depth examination of a sample of nursing homes will be made by randomly selecting 10 nursing homes from a pool of the 30 nursing homes that received the most COVID-19 Funds through the Foundation, plus another 15 nursing homes from the remainder of the pool of beneficiary nursing homes. These randomly selected nursing homes will be required to supply actual documentation supporting the COVID Funds received. This documentation will include invoices, payroll records, revenue journals, and cost reports. Among the provisions of the certifications submitted by each applying nursing home, is an acknowledgement that (i) the nursing home is subject to audit by the applicable State and federal agencies, and the Foundation, (ii) any COVID-19 Funds received through the Foundation and not properly applied must be refunded, and the nursing home will comply with the requirement that it must maintain for ten (10) years auditable records supporting its use of the COVID-19 Funds it received through the Foundation. In the event that it is determined that one or more nursing homes were unable to properly apply the COVID-19 Funds to an unmet need for a qualifying purpose, those COVID-19 Funds will be recouped and either redistributed to any nursing homes that are able show an unmet need continues to exist using a distribution formula consistent with past distributions of refunded COVID-19 Funds, or returned to the Grantor. This redistribution or return to the Grantor will occur no later than December 31, 2024. Person(s) Responsible: John Matson, Acting Executive Director Completion Date: Adoption of the Look-Back Audit Procedures December 31, 2023
