Finding 2022-001: Title 29, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 5, Sub-Part A Davis Bacon and Related Acts Provisions and Procedures (the ?Davis-Bacon Act?), requires that any construction contract in excess of $2,000 that is funded wholly or in part by federal funds include prevailing wage rate clauses. The laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors to work on construction contracts in excess of $2,000 financed by federal assistance funds must be paid wages not less than those established for locality of project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL) and the contractor or subcontractor must submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). During fiscal year 2022, the Tuscaloosa County Board of Education (the ?Board?) entered into nine construction project contracts totaling $4,576,909.23 that did not include prevailing wage rate clauses. As of September 30, 2022, the Board expended $2,803,189.31 of COVID-19 Education Stabilization Funds (?ESSER?) on the projects. The Board did not have controls in place to ensure the Davis-Bacon Act wage rate requirements were included in construction contracts, therefore, the nine construction project contracts awarded during the fiscal year did not include prevailing wage rate clauses nor did the contractors submit weekly certified payrolls to the Board. As a result, the Board is not in compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act as it pertains to wage rate requirements. Recommendation: The Board should comply with Title 29, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 5, Sub-Part A Davis Bacon and Related Acts Provisions and Procedures (the ?Davis-Bacon Act?) when using ESSER grants on construction contracts in excess of $2,000.00. Response/Views: We agree with the finding. Corrective Action Planned: The Tuscaloosa County Board has contacted all parties involved in future bids and Title 29, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 5, Sub-Part A Davis Bacon and Related Acts Provisions and Procedures (the "Davis-Bacon Act") will be included in bids going forward. Anticipated Completion Date: The Tuscaloosa County Board will implement the corrective action immediately. Contact Person(s): Please contact Danny Higdon, CSFO, at 205-342-2767 or by email at dhigdon@tcss.net if you have any questions or concerns.

As the Authority transitioned housing/accounting software and staff during the year, the procedures for reviewing and approving journal entries was not documented as it had been in the past. Various journal entries were not reviewed and approved by someone other than the preparer. o As of April 1, 2022, all journal entries are reviewed by both the Director of Accounting and Lead Staff Accountant.

The Authority utilized its HCV HUD Cares Act funding to pay for its annual software and support that covered the period of July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. As a result, one half of this expense for the period after December 31, 2021 and is not an allowable expense for HUD Cares Act grant. o Effective immediately, specialty funding that has a deadline will not be used on invoices that are considered prepaid.

To Whom It May Concern: Midland University Single Audit Report: Corrective Action Plan - Year ended May 31, 2022 Finding 2022-001 ? Title IV Credit Balances Condition/Context: For 4 of 25 students tested, the credit balance was not resolved in compliance with the regulations, the student?s Title IV credit balances on their accounts were held and applied to future charges without student or parent authorization. The first student?s Title IV credit balance was $759 of Direct Loan funds, the second student?s was $3,702 of Direct Loan funds, the third student?s was $390 of Direct Loan funds and the fourth student?s was $2,850 of Direct Loan funds and $943 of Teach Grant funds. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Corrective Action Plan The University agrees with the finding. The occurrence of Title IV credit balances occurs primarily with graduate program students. A review is being conducted of current internal control processes and evaluating what additional reporting is capable within the student information system to assist in identifying these Title IV credit balances in a more timely manner. Title IV credit balances are being monitored during the Spring 2023 terms and new procedures will be put in place for the Fall 2024 term.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Fiscal Year End Date: May 31, 2022 In Reference to: Audit Finding 2022-001 Planned Corrective Actions: OCHC has evaluated its lost revenue calculation used in the Period 1 Provider Relief Fund reporting and has determined that the lost revenue reported was not overstated. OCHC further identified that if the revenue amounts noted in finding 2022-001 had been included, the health center would likely have been able to report a higher amount of lost revenue. The health center has already repaid the Provider Relief Funds received in excess of the lost revenue amount previously reported and does not intend to make any additional changes to its Period 1 report. Responsible Official: Lindsay Pearson, CFO and Scott Crouch, CEO Anticipated Completion Date: March 31, 2023 Heather Center Response: The Health Center CEO, Scott Crouch and CFO, Lindsay Pearson discussed the planned corrective actions. They both feel comfortable with the amount of lost revenue reported. While the Health Center could have claimed additional lost revenue, by including the cost report amounts, at the time of the Provider Relief Fund reporting deadline, the cost reports for FY21, were not finalized. The Health Center used a more conservative approach in their lost revenue calculation, to avoid overstating this amount.

State of Missouri Single Audit Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2022 State Agency: Department of Social Services (DSS) ? Family Support Division (FSD) Audit Finding Number: 2022-005 ? Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer Food Benefits Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Elizabeth Roberts-Smith Anticipated completion date for corrective action: Completed Recommendation: The DSS through the FSD strengthen internal controls to ensure P-EBT program benefit issuances are in accordance with the state plan, and review and correct the overpayments for the children identified in this finding. DSS Response: The DSS agrees with this finding. The DSS agrees that the two children identified in the report were incorrectly issued benefits. Recognizing the complexity for families seeking to appropriately access the benefit, the process by which school children are determined eligible and issued P-EBT benefits was modified in the state plan submitted by the State of Missouri to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) for the 2021-2022 school year. The P-EBT state plan for the 2021-2022 school year was approved by FNS on June 6, 2022. Eligibility for P-EBT is now determined at the individual child level based on COVID-related absences and qualification for federal free and reduced lunch benefits. For the 2021-2022 school year, local education authorities (LEA?s) submit lists of students determined eligible to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). DESE then submits the approved eligibility file to DSS with the name of each eligible child and the amount of benefit to be issued on a P-EBT card. DSS then issues the benefit. Corrective Action is as follows: DSS has reviewed the overpayments and referred the children identified in this finding to the Missouri Program Integrity Unit (PIU) for claims processing, if the funds can be recovered. This is outlined in the FNS approved Missouri P-EBT state plan.

It was brought to our attention that we are unable to update our third transmittal to NSC due an uploading error with Jenzabar. Once we were notified of this error, we began communicating with NSC to find an alternative route to submit the third transmittal. The third transmittal was submitted but we later learned that the file was rejected. Unfortunately, during that time, the notification of the error message was inadvertently overlooked due to the challenges we were faced with during the recovery period of Hurricane Ida. To mitigate this from occurring in the future, we have discussed changing how and when our enrollment transmittal data will be reported. Furthermore, we had participated in training and scheduled additional training opportunities with Jenzabar to create an errorless transmittal process.

We had thought that the related guidelines were similar to CARES/HEERF I and we wanted to ensure that we had drawn down the funds timely once they were awarded to the college. HEERF III institutional funds spent as of June 30, 2022 were $783,442 and total HEERF III institutional grant funds spent as of January 2023 total $3,214,528. The college management?s plan is to spend all HERRF III funds for plan identified activities by June 30, 2023. Going forward, the college will ensure full compliance with the issued drawn down of awarded funds guidelines.

CAP for Finding: 2022-704 Finding 2022-704: Research and Development Cluster?Unallowable Costs Planned Corrective Action: We agree with the condition that expenditures noted by the auditors were posted to federal awards in error. Our institution has robust policies and procedures in place along with multiple levels of review for transactions that post to awards. However, there may be rare instances where a transaction posts to an award for which it is not allowable or allocable. As noted by the auditors, they sampled from a population of $86.9 million from certain expenditure codes and only questioned $650 in costs. These expenditures have now been transferred off the awards to non-sponsored funding. To help Research Administrators manage Research and Development Awards, RSP (Research and Sponsored Programs) offers a variety of tools. RSP maintains a website that houses policies and procedures related to all relevant Research Administration topics. In addition to this, the RSP website has FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) pages on a variety of Research Administration topics. RSP also offers a comprehensive training program called RED (Research Education Development). We offer courses that include topics such as a basic introduction to research administration, closeout of awards, cost-share, cost-transfers, and many others. We will remind administrators and their staff of all the relevant information our website houses and that they should take any pertinent RED. Lastly, we will remind staff that they can retake courses if they haven?t taken them recently and want to refresh their knowledge.

DHS will complete an assessment and identify paid claims by March 31, 2023, where cost avoidance rules were not appropriately applied for outpatient services when a participant was enrolled in Medicare or other third-party insurance with a date of service after July 1, 2021, and return to the federal government recovered payments that were improper. We recommend the Wisconsin Department of Health Services: ? Perform an assessment and implement additional procedures to review changes to cost avoidance rules in the future.
