Criteria: 2 CFR Section 200.302 of the Uniform Guidance requires that a non-federal entity provide for accurate, Current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each Federal award or program. Additionally, 2 CFR Section 200.303 of the Uniform Guidance requires the non-Federal entity to establish and maintain effective internal controls over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: Issues identified during our audit procedures over the SEFA and federal grant expenditure reports (SEFA project rollout). Cause: Lack of timely review and oversight of federal project expenditures, including the SEFA rollout report. In addition, the preliminary SEFA and underlying support was not timely reviewed by management after it was prepared by accounting staff. Agency Response: On a monthly basis there will be review on the expenditures to ensure that contractual expenses will be accrued. On a quarterly basis the SEFA rollout report will required to be created by the Financial Data Analyst or designee by the CFO. This report will be created by the 25th of the month after the quarter end. Once the report is created the analysis and review of expenditures to revenues will also occur. Based on the analysis, any discrepancies that are noted will be communicated with the Director of Finance. Those discrepancies will be corrected within 48 hours by the program accountants with the direction of the Director of Finance. In the event that the staff fails to make the corrections there will be disciplinary action. By the 30th of the month the report will be given to the CFO for review and approval. Responsible staff will be Lisette DeLeon, CFO, Cynthia Timm, Director of Finance, various staff, Program accountants, and Boubacar Traore, Financial Analyst. This process will begin January 2024 and be fully implemented by February 2024.

2023-003 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management Response: Management concurs with the recommendation above. Management will ensure policies and procedures over financial reporting which capture all required adjustments necessary to fairly present consolidated financial statements.

The finance director will be responsible for monitoring all financial policies and procedures.

The Hospital’s lost revenue calculation for Period 4 was also reported under Option II when it should have been reported under Option III. In addition, there was no evidence retained that the Hospital’s special report submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services for Period 4 TIN #420733472 was reviewed or approved by an individual separate from the preparer prior to submission. These errors were not noted during testing of the Phase 5 report. Responsible Individuals: Eric Salmonson, CFO Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. The Hospital has reviewed the internal controls and implemented improvements related to allowability of all federal cost claimed, including those regarding the identification of duplicate items and approved costs. This was implemented prior to submitting the Phase 5 report. Anticipated Completion Date: September 5, 2023

Eide Bailly LLP was requested to draft the schedule. Responsible Individuals: Eric Salmonson, CFO Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. However, management feels that committing the resources necessary to remain current on SEFA reporting requirements and corresponding footnote disclosures would lack benefit in relation to the cost but will continue to evaluate on a regular basis.

The District accepts and acknowledges that the Quarterly Cash Reports for the Quarter ended June 30, 2023 were not correct in their entirety. The error occurred due to miscommunication between the Federal Programs Coordinator (who was also the Director of Curriculum at that time who is no longer employed in the District) and the Business Administrator. ln order to appropriately and completely expend various streams of ESSERs funding, the Curriculum Director revised his budget multiple times, moving expenditures that were originally budgeted to be expended from one grant to another grant. Although all the Federal funding received was expended on qualifying and appropriate expenditures, the failure occurred when the former Federal Programs Coordinator did not inform the Business Manager that he was making these numerous budget adjustments. As such, the final Quarterly Cash Reports as of June 30, 2023 were filed with incorrect amounts. Corrective Actions: Prior to the local audit as of 6130123, the Business Manager and new Federal Programs Coordinator (who is also the new Curriculum Director) identified that the budget transfers discussed above were not communicated properly. lt was also determined that all expenditures charged against the grants were appropriate and allowed. ln order to prevent this from occurring again in the future, the Business Manager and Federal Programs Coordinator now meet monthly to discuss the status of all Federal Funding, to discuss any and all planned expenditures to ascertain their allowability and to ensure compliance under the Federal Grants, and to verify that the Federal Program Coordinator's internal budget exactly matches what is recorded in the District's accounting system.

Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.498 Compliance Requirement: Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Costs Principles and Reporting Finding Summary: Winneshiek Medical Center claimed expenses that had been reimbursed by another source. The Medical Center is a critical access hospital which means that a portion of their expenditures are covered by Medicare. The Medical Center did not decrease their expenses for the portion that was reimbursed by Medicare. The Medical Center’s special report submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services for Period 4 TIN #420680487 reported these expenses that were reimbursed by other sources which made the report inaccurate as well. Responsible Individuals: Ben Stevens, CFO Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. The Medical Center created a “Federal Reporting Review Policy” dated March 9, 2023 as a result of working with HRSA and the 2021FY audit. This policy was approved and is now in process.

Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.498 Compliance Requirement: Other Finding Summary: The Medical Center does not have an internal control system designed to provide for the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal. We requested our auditors to assist with the draft of the schedule of expenditures for federal awards. Responsible Individuals: Ben Stevens, CFO Corrective Action Plan: Management Agrees with the Finding. This finding and recommendation is not a result of any change in the Medical Center’s procedures, rather it is due to an auditing standard implemented by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Management feels that committing the resources necessary to remain current on the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards reporting requirements and corresponding footnote disclosures would lack benefit in relation to the cost but will continue evaluating on a going forward basis.

Finding 2023-008: Annual Report Card, High School Graduation Rate We agree with the auditor's comments, and the following actions will be taken to ensure that when a student is removed from the graduation cohort proper documentation is obtained and maintained to support the student’s removal from the graduation cohort. Office Managers and Data Clerks need comprehensive training sessions on the importance of the removal of students from a graduation cohort as a federal requirement. These sessions will specifically focus on imparting knowledge about acceptable documentation for the removal of students from a graduation cohort. Staff members will receive guidance on the proper documentation required for various cohort codes, aiming to enhance accuracy in cohort reporting. Secondly, the district will actively support school sites in establishing a record retention process. This involves ensuring that when a student is removed from the graduation cohort, there is consistent and substantiated documentation in place in a centralized drive that can be accessed by all stakeholders. The emphasis lies on maintaining accurate and accessible records to support cohort reporting.
Management will review and submit the reports within the required period going forward.

Reference: 2023-001 Reporting Finding: Forty-five students were identified during the audit where the disbursement date in the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system did not match the date the funds credited to the student’s account. Although the funds were credited within 5 days, the disbursement date in COD was not updated to reflect the actual date the funds credited to the student’s account and therefore did not meet the COD reporting rules. Contact Person: Julie Wickstrom, Assistant Vice President for Financial Assistance & Student Employment Corrective action: Boston University Financial Assistance has improved its quality controls to ensure these dates match and has taken steps to mitigate this reporting issue. To this end BU Financial Assistance is committed to the following action steps: 1. The COD disbursement schedule has been changed to only occur during defined business hours and only on defined days of the week (Monday and Wednesday). This change to the disbursement schedule allows BU to make sure the COD disbursement date is the same date as the federal financial aid credits to the individual student account. 2. Beginning with the 2024/2025 academic year, Boston University will transition from a homegrown mainframe system to PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. This system will allow us to more easily schedule jobs that ensure that the disbursement date in COD reflects the date the funds actually credit to the student’s BU student account. 3. Boston University will better utilize the COD reconciliation reports to monitor COD disbursement date inconsistencies with student account credits and make updates to COD when inconsistencies occur. This finding was also identified during a 2023 Department of Education Program Review and the corrective action plan was implemented at that time.
