Condition: During compliance testing of the District's accounting records to the expenditure report filed with the Illinois State Board of Education, we noted the District overclaimed $5,331 of expenditures at 6/30/24. Upon review of the general ledger and quarterly expenditure report, it was determined that the District erroneously overstated their claim amount on one function object code by a cumulative amount of $5,331. Under 2530-500, total expenditures were $1,084,669 but District claimed $1,090,000, resulting in an overclaim of $5,331. Plan: Management will review its policies and procedures to ensure that potential expenditures are deemed to be allowable before spending federal funds. In addition, the District will consider implementing a monitoring process to ensure that control procedures are being followed. Anticipated Date of Completion: 6/30/2025.

Pursuant to federal regulations, Uniform Administrative Requirements Section 200.511, the following is the finding as noted in Isabella County’s Single Audit report for the year ended September 30, 2024, and corrective action to be completed. 2024-001 – Variance in Quarterly Reporting. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: During the audit, we noted a variance between amounts reported in quarters one and four of the quarterly P&E reports and amounts recorded in the general ledger and presented on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) for fiscal year 2024. As a result of this condition, the County did not fully comply with the requirements of the grant award or the Uniform Guidance. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the County reconcile quarterly P&E reporting with amounts in the general ledger to ensure that all expenditures reported are classified in the correct project category on the P&E reporting and in the correct reporting period. Corrective Action: Management will conduct cross-checks between the general ledger entries and amounts reported on the quarterly ARPA P&E reports to ensure accuracy in amounts reported for the period. Management will also review classification of project categories on quarterly P&E reports to ensure accuracy. Responsible Person: Chris Witmer, Director of Finance.

The district will fully utilize the Skyward Student Information System to track all meals, including those processed through the Point of Sale (POS) system and a la carte items, ensuring a standardized process across all schools. To improve accuracy and prevent over-claiming, GCSC is implementing a unique student ID system where each student will either scan their ID card or manually enter their assigned ID number when receiving a meal. The CFO/Food Service Director will conduct daily reconciliations of meal counts with the Food Service Management Company (FSMC) and verify all claims against source records to prevent errors. Monthly claims will be reviewed for accuracy, ensuring that second student meals and staff meals are excluded. Additionally, GCSC will establish clear policies and procedures requiring the FSMC to provide complete and accurate data for all claim submissions. Regular internal audits and staff training will be conducted to enforce compliance, and an oversight process will be implemented to detect and correct discrepancies before submission. Anticipated Completion Date: Gary Community School Corporation will implement this procedure by March 2025.

We have discussed this issue with that office’s personnel and established procedures designed to prevent it from happening in the future. The “Funds Not Returned Timely” reflects continued improvements resulting from policies already established to enhance compliance with attendance reporting and tracking of those reports by the Registrar and Financial Aid Offices. The College will continue to reinforce compliance with the attendance monitoring and reporting policy, as well as refine procedures for active monitoring of those reports by these two offices. In particular, the process of evaluating whether students who are on the two-week absence report in any one class are in fact at risk of falling out of enrollment status overall.

Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Condition: We noted that for two of the students tested, the enrollment statuses reported in NSLDS were still listed as withdrawn (W) despite graduating (G). This included one student from the University of Kansas who graduated in December 2023 and one student at Fort Hays State University who graduated May 2024. In addition, we noted that some of the institutions did not have an observable, auditable internal control over the submission process at the time of testing. Recommendation: We recommend that the institutions implement procedures to ensure that enrollment statuses, particularly those who were initially marked as withdrawn but need to be moved to graduated, are reported correctly and timely. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Fort Hays State University: The University will evaluate and enhance current procedures to ensure the accurate and timely reporting of student status changes to NSLDS. University of Kansas (KU): KU has implemented a process to review students who withdrew during the semester then subsequently graduated at the end of that semester. This ensures that their enrollment status, which is accurately updated in the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), is subsequently reflected in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) in a timely manner.

Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance, Other Matters Condition: Kansas Division of Emergency Management (Management) did not track, determine or monitor the audit verification requirement for its subrecipients in a timely manner.

Scope of work is matched with actual expenses and validated before sending to FEMA for close-out. • KDEM’s audit tracker identifies when audit letters were sent and can be verified through email verification sent to sub-recipients. • There is no regulation stipulating what is “timely”.

Action Taken: We have taken several steps to prevent this sort of error in the future:We immediately reviewed this error with the office in question and made sure they understood the correct process of capitalizing prepaid expenses and expensing each month  This is a transaction that was made in error, guidance for handling prepaid expenses already exists. We reviewed this existing guidance around the correct way to handle prepaid expenses with relevant finance staff.  At the end of each fiscal year offices will be required to complete a full check with finance signoff for prepaid expenses and agree that everything that is prepaid has been communicated to finance.  There is an existing process for grant closeout that provides additional review of expenses that would detect this sort of expense and ensure it is recorded correctly, however, in this instance it was a multi-year grant and so the grant was not closed out and fiscal year end.  As this is a multi-year grant, we corrected this error in FY25 and returned the funds to the grantor for the expense that had not yet been incurred.
