Recommendation: Management should formalize monthly accounting and closing procedures to include reconciliation of all significant account balances and to ensure accurate financial reporting information is being maintained by the Organization. Action Taken: Management at Cadence Care Network recognizes that there have been shortcomings in the reconciliation processes; however, they have developed and put into action closure and reconciliation schedules. Those processess have now been in place since the new CFO implemented them throughout the last part of 2024. The ongoing audit has established that Cadence Care Network relies excessively on auditors for reconciling accounts and creating schedules. During the leadership transition, it became apparent that the previous CFO lacked the necessary vision and skills to effectively lead the financial department. The shortcomings and inefficiencies of the former administration were only highlighted by the current CFO. With the new CFO in charge, a sense of order and direction has been established, new positions have been created, innovative strategies have been introduced to support growth, and policies have been enforced, and integrated into a short- and long-term plan.

Auditor Description of Criteria, Condition, and Effect: Under the requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA), direct recipients of grants or cooperative agreements are required to report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). Direct recipients must report key data elements by registering through the FSRS and reporting subaward data through that system. Direct recipients that are awarded a federal grant are required to file a FFATA sub-award report by the end of the month following the month in which the prime awardee awards any sub-grant equal to or greater than $30,000. The Commission did not submit the required key data elements through the FSRS reporting system as required by the Uniform Guidance. As a result, the Commission did not follow federal requirements for FFATA reporting through the FSRS and as a result has not completed the appropriate sub-award reporting that is required for direct recipients. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the Commission review its procedures for FFATA reporting through FSRS and ensure that all key data elements are reported timely moving forward. Corrective Action: Management concurs with the finding. The Commission will ensure that its procedures for FFATA reporting on all required grants are updated to ensure future compliance with this requirement. Responsible Person: Joseph Bertram, Financial Operations Manager. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2025.

Compliance Requirement Finding: Special Test and Provisions – Enrollment Reporting The University had not reported changes of the sampled graduated or withdrawn students to the National Student Loan Data System (“NSLDS”) as required under the Uniform Grant Guidance for the year ended June 30, 2024, accurately or timely. Student Financial Aid Cluster, Assistance Listing # 84.007, 84.033, 84.038, 84.063, 84.268 Corrective Action Plan The finding was due to a lack of a process to correctly backdate administrative withdrawals when a student receives a "W" grade after the withdrawal deadline. This inconsistency led to inaccurate reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and the academic file. To address this, management has collaborated with the Offices of Campus Technology, Student Financial Services, and the Registrar and has developed and implemented better procedures for handling administrative withdrawals. These procedures will ensure: • Consistent reporting of withdrawal dates to NSLDS. • Ensuring that withdrawal dates are recorded uniformly in both the Registrar’s office and Student Financial Services. • Accurate assignment of "W" grades according to the academic calendar. These new procedures were implemented in the beginning of 2024. The Registrar’s office will continue to submit regular enrollment reports to NSLDS, promptly reporting any changes to student enrollment as required. The Office of the Registrar will be responsible for implementing the corrective action plan, under the supervision of the University Registrar and Director of Institutional Research and Effectiveness.

Criteria: Timely preparation of account reconciliations is essential to producing accurate and relevant financial reports. Condition: During the audit, a number of adjusting journal entries were proposed by both the audit team and management. These entries were to adjust errors or to reflect year-end accruals. Cause: Existing closing procedures should be reviewed and updated to ensure that they are properly followed in producing timely reports and reducing year-end adjustments. Effect: The results were delays in producing reconciliations, account analyses and other financial reports needed by management and the auditors. Recommendation: We believe that the year-end closing could proceed more quickly by incorporating a closing schedule that indicates who will perform each procedure and when completion of each procedure is due and accomplished. The timing of specific procedures could be coordinated with the timing of management’s or the auditor’s need for information. All reconciliations should be prepared and reviewed by those informed of such matters to ensure accuracy. Management Response: We acknowledge that the finding identified in the 2023 audit has repeated in the 2024 audit, and we recognize the importance of fully addressing these concerns to ensure more accurate and efficient financial procedures moving forward. We have since successfully hired a qualified staff accountant who is now in place and working diligently to ensure compliance with all financial procedures for the fiscal year 2025. This key hire, along with the enhanced and fully implemented month-end checklist, will help us consistently meet the necessary financial reporting standards.

FINDING 2024-001 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster - Reporting Summary of Finding: There were no controls in place to ensure that the School Corporation complied with the reporting requirements.
