Information on the Federal Program: U.S. Department of Education, Trio Cluster and Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), Appalachian Area Development Assistance Listing No. 23.002 Criteria: 2 CFR 200 Subpart E establishes cost principles to apply in determining costs under federal awards. Nonfederal entities are also required to establish controls over the disbursement process to ensure compliance with allowable cost requirements. Condition: We selected a Trio sample of 25 payroll charges, containing 56 employee paychecks. Of those 56, five employee's approved pay was not properly documented. The employee had additional pay not on the approved Letter of Appointment (LOA) or the LOA reflected the use of restricted dollars, but the pay was charged to the grant. In addition, of those 56, five employees were charged to a grant that they were not budgeted for. We selected an ARC sample of 10 nonpayroll disbursements to test for controls. Of those 10, one disbursement of four scholarships was not properly documented as approved for payment. Management’s Response: The College will strengthen its policies and procedures surrounding the disbursement process. The College will document approvals on all payroll changes at the college and on the grant budgets. All scholarships will have prior written approval before scholarships will be applied. The College will also amend all grants when needed to properly reflect all job titles and expenditure items. Anticipated Completion Date: February 28, 2025

Management's Perspective Management acknowledges the audit finding related to exceeding budgeted amounts for specific allowable activities. We understand the importance of adhering strictly to approved budgets and appreciate the auditor's insights for improving our internal controls. The discrepancy noted in the draw requests and employee salary reimbursement rate was unintentional and stemmed from insufficient monitoring of budget allocations and across specific cost categories. Overall for the grant we were $671,675.96 favorable to the total budget, but are committed to rectifying this issue promptly to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements by line item. Corrective Action Plan 1. Root Cause Analysis: The primary cause of this issue was the absence of a robust process for comparing expenditures to individual cost categories in the approved budget. 2. Policy and Procedure Enhancements: o Budget Monitoring: A formal procedure will be implemented to review the budget allocations for each cost category prior to submitting any draw requests. This will include a reconciliation process to verify expenditures align with approved amounts. o Approval Process: Draw requests will now require a secondary review by individual cost categories by the Chief Financial Officer to ensure compliance with budgeted amounts. 3. Employee Reimbursement Accuracy: o We will update the reimbursement calculation process to ensure all employee salaries are reimbursed at the approved rates. This will involve cross-checking position with the budget during each draw request. 4. Training: o Staff involved in grant management and budget monitoring will be provided training on allowable activities, cost category monitoring, and budget compliance by January 15, 2025. 5. Oversight and Accountability: o A quarterly internal audit will be conducted to review draw requests and salary reimbursement calculations to identify any discrepancies early. 6. Immediate Actions Taken: o The overdrawn amounts ($27,009) and salary discrepancy ($4,371) have been identified. Management is working to rectify these errors and will address any necessary repayments or budget amendments with the grantor.Timeline for Implementation All corrective actions will be fully implemented by 1/31/2025. Progress will be reported to the Board of Directors as needed. Contact Information For further questions or additional clarification, please contact: Robbie Marchant Chief Financial Officer 540-888-3456 marchant@trschool.org Management remains committed to maintaining compliance with grant requirements and implementing procedures to prevent recurrence of this issue.
