Federal Program Corporation of National and Community Service - AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program, ALN 94.011, Award No. 21SFBPA002, Period 7/1/21 - 6/30/24 Condition/Cause Due to turnover in program staff, management was unable to locate certain requested documentation for audit testing. Recommendation We recommend that the University revisit and revise their documentation filing system for timecards, mileage reimbursement, and other documentation that would support amounts paid for stipends under the program. This would also include a complete inventory of all clearances/criminal background checks for current staff and volunteers working in the program and obtain updated background checks for any that are not on file. We also recommend the University revisit the process of replacing a director after their departure to ensure program compliance continues. Management Response We agree with the auditors' finding. The instance of non-compliance occurred during a period when the University had a vacancy in both the Grant Specialist and Program Director positions. These roles carry duties to includes design and oversight of the internal control environment regarding the compliance of the federal program. As of August 2022, both vacant positions have been appointed to provide oversight for program compliance. To mitigate deficiencies in controls regarding change management, personnel status change forms involving federally funded programs will be circulated to the Program Director, Grant Specialist, and Business Affairs office. The University will implement the auditors? recommendation to invest in a documentation and approval system for credentials and allowable costs. The Program Director will also perform routine maintenance over personnel files and required documentation.

Federal Program Department of Education - Strengthening Institutions Program, ALN 84.031A, Award No. P031A190172, Period 10/1/19 - 9/30/24 Condition/Cause During the year ended June 30, 2022, an individual working in an allowable position under the grant changed job titles to a different position, which was not allowable under the grant. The wages and fringe benefits for this individual continued to be charged to the grant after the change in position. Internal controls in place did not detect the unallowable costs charged to the grant in the 4th quarter of the fiscal year, prior to drawing down funds. Recommendation We recommend that the University revisit and strengthen internal controls over determining compliance with the allowable activities and allowable cost requirements of the grant for wages and fringe benefits. Management Response We agree with the auditors' finding. The instance of non-compliance occurred during a period when the University had a vacancy in the Grant Specialist position. This role?s duty includes oversight of the internal control environment regarding the compliance of the federal program. Effective August 2022, the position has been filled and corrective actions are in process to strengthen internal controls to avoid non-compliance going forward. To mitigate deficiencies in controls regarding change management, personnel status change forms involving federally funded programs will be circulated to the Program Director, Grant Specialist, and Business Affairs office. In addition, the Program Director will reconcile funds disbursed for unallowable costs prior to the filing of the September 30, 2023 annual report.

Finding # 2022-003 Response South Lyon Medical Center received the provider relief funds in May 2020. Immediately after award, and using HRSA?s authorized usage of the funds, Administration reviewed weaknesses in the facility needed to mitigate the COVID19 pandemic. After due diligence and several meetings on the funding guidelines, SLMC determined the greatest benefit to the community and patients was to upgrade the original HVAC system in its 1963 skilled nursing facility as the most effective way for SLMC to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. The facility?s architect/engineer was immediately tasked with the creation of a feasibility report and design plans to perform the needed upgrades, removing the 1963 antiquated system and replacing it with a modern efficient system and the process of finding a contractor to complete the project. In October 2020, plans were completed and submitted to contractors in the surrounding area in pursuit of a proposal. The project was awarded to Miles Construction in March 2021 and a contract was signed on May 5th, 2021. HVAC projects at hospitals require a significant amount of time to plan, design, and build under normal circumstances, even before taking into consideration complications added by the pandemic, which included contractor shortages, labor availability issues, and supply chain issues. These obstacles are much more pronounced in rural areas. There were additional delays in receiving State approval due to the increased number of projects submitted for review to the state during this period. The Medical Center committed funds to the project and entered into the contract in good faith, using the guidance available at the time of the commitment. The project was part of the Medical Center?s initiative to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus and, accordingly, the Provider Relief Fund grants were used to help fund the initiative. The FAQs available at the time the contract was executed did not include a requirement that the capital project be fully complete by the end of the Period of Availability to be an allowable use of the funds. This requirement was added on August 30, 2021, which is two months after the end of the period 1 Period of Availability, June 30, 2021. Responsible Party David Bezard, CFO South Lyon Health Center, Inc. Estimated Completion The Project was completed and put into service in September 2022 after the Fire Marshall?s final inspection and the Contractor/Architect signed off on the project?s completion.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: CCPS School Board had approved updated procurement policies in July 2021 in response to the FY20 management letter comment on Uniform Guidance Policies. Upon receipt of the FY21 management letter, which included a repeat comment on Uniform Guidance Policies for the school board, CCPS staff contacted the previous auditors and shared with them the updated policies that the school board had previously updated and approved. The prior audit firm confirmed all required policies that pertained to the management letter comment had been updated. The new audit firm does not believe the school board policy updates that were approved previously were sufficient. Management has begun to review the existing written procurement policies and procedures and will complete another update to comply with the Uniform Guidance no later than May 2023. If the Federal Audit Clearinghouse has questions regarding this plan, please call Marcia Stevens, Chief Operations Officer at 804-633-5088 ext 1095. Sincerely yours, Marcia S. Stevens, CPA Chief Operations Officer

Corrective Action Plan Responsible Official: Iman Riddick, Registrar and T.J. Snowden, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: Dec 15, 2022 Finding 2022-001: Enrollment Reporting and Documentation of Controls Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the recommended corrective action for which the Institute immediately began to remediate. This relates to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) site modernization resulting in NSLDS functionality/operational pauses that included the data flow from National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to NSLDS. This issue has been resolved. The Institute has established a procedure to ensure this does not happen again. It should also be noted that as of December 2022, the Director of Financial Aid and Registrar have implemented procedures and controls to ensure that all required reporting to the NSLDS is performed accurately and in a timely manner. Each month?s enrollment data submission to National Student Clearinghouse by the Registrar will be reviewed by the Director of Financial Aid to verify the consistency of the data in NSLDS; The Director of Admissions and the Registrar will review submission of the 10 business days after the original submission and on the 14th of each month prior to the submission of the next batch of enrollment data to the National Student Clearinghouse. This will allow IWP to correct any inaccurate reporting and verify timely submissions to both systems, providing a preventive control in addition to the resolution of the NSLDS functionality pause.
