FINDING 2022-002 Name of Responsible Individual For Finding(s): Bryan Soady, Former Alliance Executive Director Name of Responsible Individual For Correction(s): Awisi Bustos, Current Alliance Executive Director Corrective Action: The Alliance employees will implement a policy and procedures, as well as grant requirements, to ensure that timesheets are completed and certified by both the employee and their supervisor.

The Timesheets will be used to determine the appropriate amount of the employee?s payroll and payroll related costs that should be allocated to the grant(s) that receive the benefit of the employee?s time and effort. This finding was identified by the Alliance prior to audit when new Executive Director Awisi Bustos began her leadership at the Alliance in January of 2023. It was identified that the prior years corrective action plan was determined to be ineffective. The corrective action plan laid out here has already taken effect.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN To Whom It May Concern: This letter includes the corrective action plan in response to the audit finding from the Single Audit for the 2021-22 Award Year. Audit Finding 2022-001: Student received an incorrect amount of Pell award and was over awarded by $200. The amount was returned to the U.S. Department of Education in July 2022. Corrective Action Plan: This was an unusual case where a third disbursement was added manually late in the year due to a Professional Judgement appeal. In order to avoid an over-award in the future, the Financial Aid Office will implement the following: - The Financial Aid Office will request training from our Ellucian consultant on how best to add unusual disbursements. - Otherwise, staff should consistently use the Pell auto-package functionality within the Colleague system. - If a disbursement must be added manually due to a functionality error, the award change must be reviewed by a senior staff member. - The grant amounts will be audited at the end of the year. The contact person responsible for the corrective action is Cheryl Gillies, Executive Director, Financial Aid. The corrective action has been implemented as of July 31, 2022. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Sincerely, Cheryl Gillies Executive Director, Financial Aid ArtCenter 1700 Lida St. Pasadena, CA 91103 626.396.2204

Management?s Response: FSA have selected ADP as a third-party payroll services that allows for Human Resource and Payroll to use the same employee information that will be entered by the Human Resource Department and does not had to be replicated by Payroll. This will ensure that all updates in payroll to be updated in real time with no documentation delays. FSA went into an agreement with ADP May 2022 to begin implementation development of a system that would meet our needs to prevent this delay between MIP system when the staff updates the NOVA time system after the personnel action form is reviewed and approved.

Management?s Response: In January 2022, during the processing of FSA payroll, the system had a major error that caused for an emergency payroll processing to take place to meet the Labor and Wages standards, so this payroll was processed not knowing that it was paid based on home allocation rather then time sheets allocations. However, the majority of FSA employees were allocated to one department program or grant. Reassigning of location only occur within staffing emergencies within the same program. Due to this occurrence, FSA started to investigated a third-party payroll servicing company that uphold our standard of functional time keeping and allocation and selected ADP. Gross pay information for each employee is extracted from the Payroll Journal and entered into the Labor Distribution. Periodically, time sheet information is entered into the Labor Distribution and percentages developed or functional time which are used to allocate gross pay to each program based on total time worked. The Labor Distribution is used to post the allocated payroll costs to the General Ledger, or billing worksheet, and the related costs then posted to the billing or reporting document.

Management?s Response: Effective fiscal year 2022-23, the Association will follow section 2 of the CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. The costs, for which the benefit can be directly identified, will be charged to the benefiting grant and category. Shared/Joint costs will be charged based on employees? time reported (timesheet and labor distribution), units of services (meals, care management units, number of-participants, hours of service, etc.), square footage, or other method that will result in an equitable allocation of costs. Currently, direct-shared costs for the Child Care and the Senior Services Programs are pooled by program area. The direct-shared cost pool and pooled facilities costs are then allocated to each funder within the respective program. We have immediately implemented a change in procedures to recalculate our Cost Allocation Plan on a quarterly basis, based on using the previous quarter's payroll labor distribution report by program to calculate the FTE for the upcoming quarter cost allocation. However, if a funder disallows a particular expense item, after the determination of their portion, it is applied to Unallowable and paid with unrestricted funds of program or agency.

Finding: 2022-002 Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance U.S. Department of Labor Federal Financial Assistance Listing 17.258/17.259/17.278 WIOA Cluster Activities Allowed or Unallowed Finding Summary: The County?s expenditures identified as eligible and claimed under the WIOA Cluster program were disallowed by the United States Department of Labor due the lack of appropriate documentation justifying specific costs charged to the program related to one vendor ? Garcia Professional Services, LLC. Also, the contract entered into with Garcia Professional Solutions, LLC. did not adequately address the required contract terms as follows: 1. Total dollar value of the contract to justify procurement method utilized. 2. Terms for payment to ensure payments are only made for verified services received and adequately documented. 3. Contract provisions stipulated in Appendix II to Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance, including Equal Employment Opportunity, Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement, Debarment and Suspension, and Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment. Responsible Individuals: Dana Aschenbrenner, Finance Director Corrective Action Plan: Johnson County disagrees with the underlying premises of this finding. The expenditures referred to above were expenditures of the East Central Iowa Workforce Development Board (ECIWDB) and not direct expenses of the County. The ECIWDB contracted with Johnson County to provide fiscal agent services. The ECIWDB then entered into a contract with Garcia Professional Solutions, LLC (?GPS?) to provide administrative support services for the Board. Iowa Workforce Development did not provide adequate guidance to ECIWDB as to the DOL-required terms and the terms of that services contract between ECIWDB and GPS did not contain any standards of documentation which DOL later claimed applied to said contract. The County had no input into the contract between the ECIWDB and GPS, nor was the County a party to said contract. Any alleged deficiencies within that contract between the ECIWDB and GPS are solely the responsibility of the ECIWDB Board and/or Iowa Workforce Development. In our fiscal agent role, the County was obliged to honor payment requests submitted to the Board; in that regard we had to make payments to GPS provided those payment requests were invoiced to ECIWDB consistent with the ECIWDB-GPS contract, which they were.

2022-003 Special Test and Provisions ? Sliding Fee Discounts Corrective Action Plan: WellSpace concurs with recommendations to strengthen procedures to ensure discounts for sliding fee is applied consistently and accurately. Immediately, WellSpace will conduct monthly application audits. An audit of 25 sliding fee application forms completed in the month prior will be examined for accuracy, along with their supporting data. All information from these applications will be cross-verified in NextGen. The results from the sliding fee monthly audits will be monitored and reported quarterly at the Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement meetings. Furthermore, WellSpace will continue the practice of conducting skills assessments at the start of the year and once more in July. These assessments are crucial as they help pinpoint staff members who might benefit from refresher training. Moreover, a meeting has been scheduled to finalize the days and times for virtual sliding fee application training. This training, aimed at all staff who handle a sliding fee form, will be spread out over four weeks, with one session per week lasting an hour. Additionally, WellSpace will introduce a sliding fee training video to the new employee orientation. After completing their NextGen training, staff will receive this training video via email. Furthermore, this video will also be sent to all health center leadership to be utilized at the health center level.

Finding 2022-002: Allowability (COVID-19 ? Provider Relief Fund) Name of Contact Person: David Thomas, Group Vice President & Controller Corrective Action Plan: Atrium Health management believes that, while the Provider Relief Funds reporting was completed on a periodic basis throughout the pandemic, the intent from HRSA was to document the use of those funds for COVID-19 expenses and for lost revenues over the course of the entire pandemic. Because the PRF portal did not allow for previous periods to be restated in response to new information or corrections identified from previous reported periods, the only recourse available for health systems to restate COVID-19 expenses or lost revenues is through future PRF reporting or through the HRSA audit process. Management agrees that the control process in place during the initial reporting process for Wilkes Regional Medical Center did not yield the ultimate cost categorization that was corrected in the PRF reporting noted above; however, management?s interaction with HRSA throughout 2022 and the resulting clarification of COVID-19 expenses, is now incorporated into the overall PRF reporting control process. With respect to the identified questioned costs, management agrees that these costs should not have been included as COVID-19 related expenses for that period. However, management also recognizes that Wilkes Regional Medical Center has unused lost revenues more than this amount and as such, the questioned costs would not be subject to a return of the PRF proceeds. This position is supported by a similar finding in the 2021 Atrium Health Enterprise audit that was resolved with this conclusion and is documented in the Management Decision Letter issued by HRSA dated June 26, 2023. There are no additional PRF reporting periods required to be completed for Wilkes Regional Medical Center and Atrium Health management, when contacted, will provide HRSA auditors similar documentation to support the conclusion reached for these COVID-19 related expenses. Proposed Completion Date: Management will complete the corrective action plan upon request by HRSA.

June 9, 2023 Maher Duessel 50.3 Martindale Street-Suite 600 Pittsburgh, PA 15212 To Whom It May Concern: Please see our corrective action plan for the findings reported in the June 30, 2022 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Finding 2022-001- General Ledger Maintenance and Reconciliation Criteria: Timely reconciliation of financial data is necessary to ensure accurate financial information is reported in order to make appropriate business decisions by management and those charged with governance. Condition: The West Mifflin Area School District {School District) did not consistently perform internal control procedures designed to maintain and reconcile the general ledger throughout the year. As a result, the trial balances originally presented for the audit were not properly reconciled and balanced. Cause: The School District did not consistently follow its procedures to ensure that all balance sheet accounts were reconciled to the general ledger and accurately reported in a timely manner. Effect: The financial data was not fully reconciled and completed throughout the year. The audit was delayed to provide time for the trial balances to be updated and ready. Various adjustments were necessary to update the records for the audit and to prepare the financial statements. Recommendation: We recommend that the School District reconcile all of its accounts in a timely manner. Reconciliations should be completed on a monthly basis to support and ensure that the accounts are properly stated. The review should ensure that the reconciliations are completed accurately and that reconciled amounts agree to the general ledger. The review and approval should be documented. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The School District agrees with the recommendation. The process undertaken to update the financial records has been updated to include a more formal procedure to reconcile the general ledger. This review is being performed on a more regular basis and the accounts will be updated and reconciled timely and in advance of the fiscal year 2023 audit. Finding 2022-002- Questioned Costs Related to Procurement Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Communications Commission Program: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund (ESF): 84.425 COVID-19 Telehealth Program: 32.006 Criteria: In accordance with Uniform Guidance procurement requirements found in 2 CFR Part 200.318 through 200.237, the School District is required to ensure that procurement methods used for purchases are appropriate based on the dollar amount of the purchase. Recipients of federal awards should have internal controls in place to ensure procurement practices are consistent and appropriate. Policies should dictate the method of procurement that should be used, who is authorized to approve purchases, and what procurement documentation and information should be maintained. The policy should also explain which items are eligible for non-competitive procurement (i.e., available only from a single source, public emergency, expressly authorized by awarding or pass-through agency, or if competitive procurement results are deemed inadequate). Condition: The School District did not adequately document its analysis that its technology purchases for the ESF and the Telehealth Program qualified for non-competitive procurement for being available through a single source. As a result, the School District did not have documentation to provide evidence of compliance which resulted in questioned costs. Cause: The School District did not have a formal procedure in place to adequately document the procurement procedures that were used. Effect: The School District was not in compliance with the procurement requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: $1,001,167 based on the technology equipment invoice applied to the ESF and $499,768 based on the technology equipment invoice applied to the Telehealth Program. Recommendation: We recommend that the School District ensures that their purchasing policy formally reflects the procurement requirements in the Uniform Guidance. We recommend that the School District establish procedures to ensure that their purchasing policy is followed, including the use of competitive bids or proposals, when appropriate. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The School District agrees with the recommendation. However, in the beginning of the ESF program, the School District had to act fast to ensure that they could provide the necessary technology to its students. Supply of such equipment was low and the School District had to purchase items that were available in the necessary timeframes for the school year. The School District's management id informally review, justify, and approve all purchases made with ESF and Telehealth funds. Going forward, the School District has recognized its need to enhance its purchasing procedures and will be reviewing its purchasing policy to ensure that it is in compliance with the requirements. Furthermore, the Business Office will ensure that the purchasing policy is followed for all purchases, especially those made through federal programs. These improvements will be in place in advance for the start of fiscal year 2024.

Financial Statements Management?s Response and Planned Corrective Action: The February 2022 and April 2022 distributions were the only distributions impacted by the data input error and both related to the Spring 2022 semester. Due to the error, 871 students (868 of the 2,894 students in the February 2022 distribution and 3 of the 56 students in the April 2022 distribution) received a higher distribution than was originally planned. Of the 871 students, 129 received $70 more than originally planned and 742 received $170 more than originally planned. In no event did any one student receive less than the originally planned distribution amount, and furthermore no student who received the additional funding was ineligible under the program. However, as the $135,436 that was distributed above the planned amount was not properly supported by the College?s plan for distribution due to an error, the College agrees that these monies should not be federally funded. After the error was identified in fiscal year 2023, the College decided to fund the over-awarded amount with the College?s own funds so that the federal distribution is in line with their pre-determined plan that has been publicly posted to the College?s website. After the correction, the College has available $135,436 of HEERF student funding that was already drawn down from the federal government. The College has a plan in place to distribute these monies to students in fiscal year 2023 to remain in compliance with the program. The College will correct the quarterly reporting to reflect the above changes. The College has also put in place review controls around the HEERF distribution process. No other instances of errors have occurred subsequent to the April 2022 distribution and, after the $135,436 is distributed to students in fiscal year 2023, all awarded amounts for student relief funding will have been appropriately expended through distributions to students per the program.

Student Relief) Year Ended: August 31, 2022 Responsible Individual: Christine Lasch Comptroller Management?s Response and Corrective Action Plan: The College agrees with the finding and recommendation. For the February and April 2022 distributions to students, there were data input errors in assigning the dollar amount to be distributed to each student based on their EFC category. This caused a change in the amount to be distributed per student from the original pre-determined plan. The February 2022 and April 2022 distributions were the only distributions impacted by the data input error and both related to the Spring 2022 semester. Due to the error, 871 students (868 of the 2,894 students in the February 2022 distribution and 3 of the 56 students in the April 2022 distribution) received a higher distribution than was originally planned. Of the 871 students, 129 received $70 more than originally planned and 742 received $170 more than originally planned. In no event did any one student receive less than the originally planned distribution amount, and furthermore no student who received the additional funding was ineligible under the program.

2022?002?ALLOWABLE COSTS AND ACTIVITIES?PAYROLL AND RELATED ITEMS Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Program Name: Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV, and Title II, Discretionary Projects Grants for New and Expanded Services under the Health Center Program Assistance Listing Number: 93.048 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: Multiple Award Period: Project period 06/01/2018-05/31/2023; Budget period: Multiple Questioned Costs: Approximately $13,000 Statement of Condition During our audit, we noted instances in which timesheets were not approved, and inconsistent allocations were applied to the grants. In some instances, the percentages of allocations calculated in timesheets were incorrect and did not match the allocation in the general ledger. It appears that allocations are based mainly on budget rather than actual direct and indirect time spent on the grant. Recommendation We recommend the organization prevent recurrence of conducting regular reviews, and reconciliations, provide timesheets training and guidance to staff and monitoring compliance. We also recommend a re-design of the timesheets, so grant allocations and calculations for direct and indirect cost are more easily performed and traceable to the grant general ledger. Corrective Action A new timesheet was implemented effective September 1, 2023, for all employees that makes the match between allocations of time worked and allocation of compensation from different sources in the general ledger. The timesheet included specific instructions and was provided to each employee individually. Timeline: The finding was resolved in September 2023. Responsible officials: Bruce Young Candelaria ?
