FINDING 2023-004 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Reporting Summary of Finding: The County submitted the P&E report by April 30, 2023, as required; however, there were no internal controls in place that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance related to the P&E report. The County Auditor prepared and submitted the report without an oversight or review process. We recommended that management of the County design and implement a proper system of internal controls, including policies and procedures to ensure that the County provides the Treasury with complete and accurate information for the P&E report. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Mary Brown Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 765-472-3901 Ext. 1240 and mbrown@miamicountyin.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Due to an oversight, the reporting for ARPA funding was not reviewed by another person after entering the data for reporting. It was my understanding, based on data entered when initial reporting began, a copy of the information also went to the Chairman of Board of Commissioners, however, it was later determined a copy was not sent. For future reporting, we will ensure someone else reviews the information prior to final submission. Anticipated Completion Date: January 2025

CONDITION: The District did not maintain a general ledger system of accounting for its Cafeteria Fund which reports the financial activity of the federal National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The financial activity occurring in this Fund is maintained in checkbook fashion during the fiscal year. This is a repeat finding (2022-004) from the previous fiscal year. CRITERIA: Prudent internal control over accounting for federal program funds requires non-federal organizations such as the School District to maintain financial records which account for federal funds in such a manner as to be able to properly track the receipt and use of federal funds as stated in Section 2 CFR Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance. Best practices suggest that the use of a general ledger system of accounting would enable the District to aggregate financial information involving federal funds during the fiscal year in such a manner to properly manage, monitor, and report the financial activity in compliance with federal program guidelines. RECOMMENDATION: The District’s accounting software can readily account for the financial activity of all Funds in a manner like the District’s General Fund. I am recommending that the management of the School District utilize the accounting software to enter the financial activity (Receipts and Disbursements) of the Cafeteria Fund in a manner like the General Fund. This procedure will significantly enhance the District-wide internal controls over financial reporting for the Cafeteria Fund, as well as provide management the ability to produce meaningful financial reports reflecting the activity in the Cafeteria Fund for prudent oversight by the Board of Education. In addition, this procedure will enable the District to comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in Section 2 CFR Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: District management is reviewing its current system of processing the transactions for the Cafeteria Fund to determine the most efficient and effective manner for implementation of a general ledger system of accounting for this Fund as opposed to its current manual process. It is anticipated that the conversion of this Fund into the District’s accounting software can be completed during the 2024-2025 fiscal year to enable the District to comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in 2 CFR Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance.

CONDITION: The District did not properly record its federal program expenditures for the ESSER and ARP ESSER federal grant programs using the various federal funding source expenditure codes as prescribed by the Chart of Accounts for PA Local Educational Agencies maintained by the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations. This is a repeat finding (2022-005) from the previous fiscal year. CRITERIA: The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), through the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations Chart of Accounts requires School Districts to utilize specific funding source codes for federal program expenditures. In addition, Section 2 CFR 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance requires non-federal organizations such as the School District to maintain financial records which account for federal funds in such a manner as to be able to properly track the identification and use of federal funds. RECOMMENDATION: I am recommending that the School District properly follow the guidance contained within the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations Chart of Accounts for recording all expenditures of the School District, most specifically, federal program grant expenditures to 1) enhance internal controls for tracking and monitoring federal program expenditures and 2) comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in Section 2 CFR Part 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance and PDE regulations. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: District management is in the process of revising its chart of accounts in the general ledger to properly reflect the funding source codes for federal program expenditures, and other available funding source codes (state and local) as applicable to the District. It is anticipated that the updated chart of accounts will be utilized by the District starting with the 2024-2025 fiscal year to enable the District to enhance its internal controls for tracking and monitoring federal program expenditures and to comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in Section 2 CFR Part 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance and PDE regulations.

REPORTABLE NONCOMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS – ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS AWARDED UNDER THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE 2023-006 Federal Reporting Deadline Finding Summary 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F, § 200.512(a)(1) requires the Academy’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package to be submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor’s report(s), or 9 months after the end of the audit period. The Academy’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, were not submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse within 9 months after the end of the audit period. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The audit of the Academy’s SEFA for the year ended June 30, 2023 was not completed within the nine-month reporting period. The completion of the Academy’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, which is a required component of the federal reporting package, was delayed beyond the 9 month deadline pending obtaining sufficient audit evidence. Academy management will ensure that all information required to comply with federal reporting requirements will be completed and submitted in a timely manner going forward.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE – SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS 2023-005 Reporting Compliance Requirement Finding Summary 2 CFR § 200.510 requires that the Academy prepare appropriate financial statements, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the year ended June 30, 2023, which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR § 200.502. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over compliance with requirements applicable to federal programs, including separately tracking federal expenditures within the finance system to provide for accurate preparation of the SEFA. During our audit, we noted the Academy did not have sufficient controls in place to ensure completeness of the SEFA and compliance with this requirement. The Academy’s SEFA was understated by $158,815 in federal expenditures related to the Emergency Connectivity Fund federal program. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The Academy will implement new processes and procedures which address this internal control finding to comply with the Uniform Guidance in the future.

CONDITION: During my review of the District’s compliance with the laws and regulations related to filing its federal grant program Final Expenditure Reports (FER), I noted that the School District did not file the Final Expenditure Report for the ESSER I grant program. The report was required to be filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) no later than 90 days after the end date of the grant period (September 30, 2022), or within 30 days of expending all grant funding. CRITERIA: The Department of Education requires the completion and submission of a ‘Final Expenditure Report’ (FER) within 30 days of expending all grant funding. In addition, Section 2 CFR 200.344 of the Uniform Guidance requires the submission of financial reports no later than 90 calendar days after the end date of the grant period for performance. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the District develop fiscal procedures to ensure that ‘Final Expenditure Reports’ for future fiscal years are completed and filed in a timely manner based on supporting financial information obtained from the District’s business office, in order to 1) comply with PDE reporting requirements for the District’s applicable federal programs, and 2) to avoid any future sanctions or withholding of grant monies from PDE as a result of not filing these reports in a timely manner.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: In 2024 during the SEFA analysis and in discussion with auditors it was determined that a USG-funded contract, attached to a grant, was incorrectly left off the SEFA. This was amended as soon as the mistake was noted. AL is required to submit financial statements to a non-US Government donor by June of each calendar year. To comply with this grant stipulation AL starts pre-audit document checks in early January and full fieldwork in mid-February following our financial year close on December 31. While the majority of our annual financial statement is complete by mid-January we have one outstanding USG grant which only reports at the end of February for an end-of-January quarter close. As a result, we are only able to provide a preliminary SEFA when the auditors request the first document checks in January. For FY 2025 we will request that the auditors start with a basic audit of Financial Statements and then submit the SEFA once all the quarterly reports have been submitted to USG. Anticipated Completion Date: Already decided for FY 2024 audit. Responsible Officials: Chief Innovation and Operations Officer and Finance Manager.

Management agrees with the finding of the auditor's report concerning the failure to timely submit our 2023 single audit reporting package and data collection form in a timely manner. We have suffered changes in personnel which had a significant impact on our ability to gather information needed to finalize our accounting records. New staff members who have taken on these responsibilities are in the process of learning those procedures and adapting to our organization's specific requirements. Additionally, there were some communication challenges during the audit process which led to misunderstandings and further delays. In addressing these challenges, we are providing additional training and support for our new staff members and reevaluating our financial closing processes to ensure that reporting deadlines are met in future periods. In addition, we were awaiting two significant financial transactions that will have a direct and substantial impact on our 2022-2023 financial reports. The most significant of those transactions was a very large estate gift that was pending at the close of the fiscal year (gift receivable). The value of this gift was difficult to assess because of the nature of the gift as part of a sizeable and complicated trust (as well as a very lengthy liquidation process). The gift finally arrived in April 2024 which provided us with the correct valuations (an increase in net assets without donor restrictions of over $4 million). A gift of this magnitude had such a substantial financial impact that we needed to wait for its completion in order to properly assess our financial position. The second transaction (a sale of unused property) closed in late May which enabled us to accurately reflect the impact of these previously pending items.
