Finding 2022-003: Information on the Federal Program: 84.42SF - Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund - institutional Portion, 84.42SE- Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund - Student Portion Compliance Requirement: Cash Management Type of Finding: Material Weakness Criteria: Under 2 CFR Section 200.303(a), non-federal entities must establish and maintain effective internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that the entity is managing the federal awards in compliance with statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the award. Additionally, under HEERF award, grantees are under an obligation to minimize the time between drawing down funds from GS and paying obligations incurred by the grantee (liquidation). If a HEERF grantee is using HEERF grant funds to make financial aid grants to students, the Department may evaluate for compliance with the rule grantees who have not drawn down the funds from GS and not paid the obligations (the financial aid grants to students) to the students within fifteen calendar days. The Supplemental Agreement published by the U.S. Depaitment of Education pe1tammg to Supplemental Grant Funds identifies that funds not disbursed within 3 days of being drawn down may be subject to heightened scrutiny by the U.S. Department of Education, the institution's auditors, and/or the Department's Office of the Inspector General. Internal controls over compliance with direct and material compliance requirements should be sufficient to prevent or detect and correct material noncompliance in a timely manner. Condition: During testing of cash management compliance requirements, it was noted that Jacksonville College had drawn down the entirety of the HEERF awards in 2021 and recorded $1,302,078. In 2022, the College had expended the majority of the funds but continues to report a deferred liability of $42,887 related to prematurely drawn-down HEERF funds. Context: Jacksonville College did not review compliance requirements related to drawing down of grant funds and over-drew funds related to the HEERF grant. Questioned Costs: $42,887 remaining in Deferred Income. Cause: A material weakness in internal control over compliance exists relating to cash management. Personnel responsible for maintaining compliance with cash management did not have sufficient education on the cash management requirements. In addition, there was no review over compliance with cash management requirements to monitor compliance. Effect or Potential Effect: The College was not in compliance with Federal requirements of the COVID-l 9 Education Stabilization Fund. 44 Repeat Finding: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the College put into place controls that require review of grant requirements prior to drawing down funds. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The College regrets that this was the process that was used. The failure to review the requirements for the draw-down of HEERF funds was managed by a previous administration. When it was discovered that the proper process was not used by the previous administration, immediate controls and policy reviews were put into place to avoid any further issues of non-compliance. Specifically, Cabinet held weekly meetings where the Executive Vice President was responsible to update Executive Administration with the current status on the utilization of funds. Since that time, a new president has been put into place by the Board of Trustees. The president is committed to following whatever requirements are mandated for all federal programs. In collaboration with all Cabinet members, relevant departments on campus, and a financial consultant, the College will avoid any further issues of non-compliance.

SAU 58 had a big transition our office with the replacement of all three of our accounting positions; Business Manager, Payroll/HR and Accounts Payable & Grants. The Accounts Payable position was then vacated for a second time and we found a new replacement in Jan 2022. During this transition period the Time and Effort for two positions that were grant funded, was overlooked. We did provide documentation of payroll from Payroll/HR but did not get the signature of the teacher or other staff member on the Certification form. Typically, we would have been able to rectify the omission but the employees had both left our district at the end of the school year. The Business manager is ultimately responsible for the implementing of the process and internal controls and will follow up with the Accounts Payable clerk to be sure each month all documentation is on file. Since the new AP person came on, she has implemented a spreadsheet to track each employee paid by Federal Funding. This way we know who has submitted their certification, and at what point we are at during the year. We will be looking at electronic documents in the future for easier tracking and getting signatures on certification documents but as of now the spreadsheet has made this process much easier to track and be sure we do not miss documents. If a big transition happens again the Accounts Payable Clerk will be responsible for all grant compliance paper work. The Business Manager will oversee this process. The above processes and procedures have already been implemented and the Business Manager will follow up monthly with the Accounts Payable clerk. Name of Contact Person and Completion Date: Name 1 Heather McMann Name 2 Tiffany Griffin Anticipated Completion Date ? Already implemented.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN June 22, 2023 Department of the Treasury - CDFI Fund Grant River City Federal Credit Union respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2022. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Doeren Mayhew 305 West Big Beaver Rd., Ste. 200 Troy, MI 48084 Audit period: January 1, 2022- December 31, 2022 The findings from the December 31, 2022, schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS-FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY CDFI Program - CFDA No. 21.024 Significant Deficiency: See Finding 2022-001. Recommendation: Complete established procedures to identify and track eligible loans deployed during the RRP grant performance period and reconcile the totals to the underlying loan data. Action Taken: Management already has an established process to internally track eligible loans deployed during the RRP grant performance, some of the data compilation is automated and some require manual updating. Management has already replaced manual processes with excel functions like vlookup to reduce errors identified by Doeren. However, management has used this conservative process year after year and is confident with the method based on third party verification from Inclusiv, who reports annual data to the CDFI Fund, and acceptance by the CDFI Fund on an annual basis and by an additional independent 3rd party who reports annual grant requirements to the CDFI fund. Management is also confident that this current process appropriately tracks deployed loans required under the RRP Grant performance based on the sheer volume of loans granted annually. With under $2M in loans needed to satisfy the grant requirement in 2022, the credit union has identified a minimum of $20 million in eligible loans in eligible markets, well above the grant performance requirements. The current process would require a significant error rate of over 80% to fail in meeting grant performance requirement. Management does not agree with Doeren auditors' assessment of noncompliance based on the auditors performing a lin1ited scope, only reviewing 40 of the 3,676 loans funded in 2022. The 1.1% of loan evaluated is in1material and gives a false impression of the true effectiveness of the overall internal control process. With 2 errors identified in the sample of 40, Doreen auditors use this as a basis to recognize a significant deficiency- an evaluation management does not concur with. Doreen's evaluation was based on guidance for control-based auditing that is standard in the industry. Doreen's evaluation was also based on an assessment of the credit union's specific target markets, not in accordance with the grant agreement, which allows financial products in any eligible CDFI market and/or the credit union's approved target market. This generic industry standard assessment fails to consider household size in income evaluations and fails to consider underserved racial groups prevalent in Bexar County and identified as eligible CDFI targeted populations. Management is confident in its internal controls and welcomes the Department of Treasury to review its 2022 loan data and internal process by doing an in-depth analysis on a significant percentage of its total loans to verify internal controls are valid and acceptable to meet the grant performance in any eligible CDFI markets and the credit union's approved target market. If the Department of Treasury has questions regarding this plan, please call Michael Quintanilla, Chief Financial Officer at (210) 225-6866.
