Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The College agrees with the finding. A corrected ISIR came in after verification was complete and instead of going through the normal process of being reviewed and repackaged by the director, the student record was accidentally filed away. This happened due to human error. We have a process in place to monitor corrected ISIR transactions to ensure that the EFC (SAI effective for award year 2024-25 and later) agrees with our documentation. The student record is then given to the director for final review and repackaging. We have added an additional step now whereby the Pell Grant administrator also reviews the output report for ISIR imports on a weekly basis.

2024-006: PROVISIONS OF THE DAVIS-BACON ACT Program: Education Stabilization Fund Federal Assistance Listing Number: 84.425U Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Agency: Arizona Department of Education Grantor Number: 21FESIII-111217-01A Questioned Costs: $-0- Type of Finding: Noncompliance (Other Matter), significant deficiency in internal control Compliance Requirement: N. Special Tests and Provisions Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Condition/Context: During our testing of two of 2 contractors, we noted the District did not have adequate internal controls designed to ensure contractors were in compliance with applicable Davis-Bacon Wage Rate requirements. The District did not retain documentation supporting indication of certified payrolls being submitted in accordance with monitoring compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act requirements for contracts funded by the Education Stabilization Fund.

Federal Agency Name: Department of Justice Assistance Listing Number: 16.812 Program Name: Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative Finding Summary: There were two months out of twelve where the draw request amount for the Second Chance Act Reentry program was switched with a draw request for another federal program. The draw request amount exceeded the actual expenditures incurred for these two months. Corrective Action Plan: SHIP’s Finance Director drew down funds for two months of expenditures on the same day for both the Department of Labor‐funded BOOST GO program and the Department of Justice‐funded BOOST Re‐Entry program. This resulted in mistakenly swapping the drawdowns for the programs, therefore drawing down GO’s funds for Re‐Entry and Re‐Entry’s funds for GO. The payments were recorded correctly by Accounting staff. The mistake was caught while the Finance Director was preparing for the annual audit. Once the mistake was discovered, the Executive Director and the Finance Director immediately contacted the Federal Project Officers of both grants to report the error and request information on how to proceed with correcting it. The Federal Project officers were supportive of being informed of the errors, and in providing feedback on how to correct the mistakes, which SHIP did immediately. Next, the Finance Director reported the error to the auditors, and the errors were also reported to the SHIP Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. Moving forward in the short term, the Finance Director has started to double check the account number on the report and the account number on the draw down platform to ensure that it is the correct grant. The reports are prepared monthly and the accountant that will prepare the monthly report will also add the account identifier to the front of the packet. This will be double checked by the Finance Director. Deposits will have to be verified as well to ensure we record the payor correctly. The Finance Director will also reconcile that the payments recorded on the grant platform and SHIP’s financial system to ensure they both agree. Long term, SHIP will be more intentional about the naming and branding of programs. Currently, SHIP is applying for a new grant from the Department of Labor to continue the BOOST Re‐Entry program. If awarded, this program will be dropping the “BOOST” acronym from the name to avoid confusion with the established BOOST GO program. Having two separate programs sharing a name was intended to build on the branding and community awareness of the BOOST program but has had the unintentional consequence of creating confusion for the public, partner agencies, and participants. As the above finding also demonstrates, it can cause unfortunate errors administratively as well.

Federal Agency Name: Department of Labor Assistance Listing Number: 17.270 Program Name: Reentry Employment Opportunities Finding Summary: Our auditors identified that the 9130 financial reports were completed on the cash basis of accounting and were completed as of the date of the report was submitted and not based on the specified quarterly reporting period. Additionally, documentation was not retained to support the numbers reported and there was no documented review or approval over the 9130 quarterly reports. Corrective Action Plan: The first two 9130 quarterly reports were submitted, and the cumulative federal expenditures were misstated. Once the 9130 reports are submitted and approved by the funder, we are unable to correct it. The amounts were corrected and accurate by the fiscal year ending 2024. This final quarterly 9130 was submitted accurately to reflect the full year of expenditures. Effective immediately, the General Ledger detail will be saved for each monthly report as well as the quarterly reports. This will ensure that if something does get changed after the submission of the 9130 reports, we are able to review the detail to see what was changed in order to reconcile.
