RE: Special Tests and Provisions (Reporting) Highway Planning and Construction, CFDA # 20.205 County Department – Department of Transportation and Highways Finding 2023 – 003 The Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (DOTH) would like to respond to the FY2023 audit. As indicated in finding 2023-003, DOTH submitted BoBS 2832 reports later than 30 calendar days following the period covered, and thus, did not comply with the reporting requirements outlined in the following grant agreement(s): • County Line Road from I-294 to North Ave (16-W7331-00-RP) - C-91-200-17 • County Line Rd from Grand Ave to Lake St (18-W7331-00-RP) - C-91-381-19 To ensure the timely submittal of BoBS 2832 reports, the following corrective action plan will be implemented by DOTH. By the close of the fiscal year on November 30, 2024, DOTH must: 1. Ensure proper training of staff and/or consultants responsible for grant reporting for projects with active grant agreements. Training will include how to gather data for the BoBS 2832 report, how to complete the BoBS 2832 report, and the cadence of reporting. A representative from the Cook County Comptroller will be invited to participate. Training materials will be distributed to participants following the session. 2. Place recurring dates on all project lead’s calendars, and on the calendars of any support staff or consultants responsible for grant reporting for the project, with a reminder when the BoBS 2832 report must be submitted. Each reminder date must be sufficiently in advance to allow for the preparation, review, and final signature in order for each BoBS 2832 report to be submitted no later than 30 calendar days following the period covered by the report. The project lead will have the ultimate responsibility of ensuring that staff assigned to the project submit BoBS 2832 reports two weeks prior to due date for proper review, sign-off, and submission to Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) prior to the due date.

Audit Finding Number: 2023-001-Enrollment Reporting: Management concurs with the finding. The College submitted enrollment reports over the past year according to our approved submission schedule, but the reports were rejected due to configuration issues with our student information system (SIS). We worked diligently to resolve these issues with assistance from Anthology and the National Student Clearinghouse. All the reporting configuration issues that prevented timely and accurate reporting have been resolved and verified by the National Student Clearinghouse. The College has implemented a process whereby the Registrar reports graduation statuses at the conclusion of each term to the College's SIS for upload to the National Student Clearinghouse and subsequent transmission to NSLDS. The Registrar will create a separate report of students who have completed a program yet are continuing their education at the College. In addition, the Registrar will generate a weekly report from the College's SIS listing the last date of attendance for drops/withdrawals, leaves of absence, and standard periods of non-enrollment and upload to the National Student Clearinghouse with subsequent transmission to NSLDS monthly. As an internal control, submitting the report will be a joint venture between the Registrar, the Financial Aid Manager, and the Associate Vice President of Education. These individuals have completed all the required training to ensure accurate reporting. To ensure timely reporting, all will receive transmission and error reports, and submission dates will be set on outlook calendars as a constant reminder. Successful report submission will be a required report at the College's bi-weekly operations meeting. William H. Dindy, Associate Vice President of Education

We agree that the allocation being performed once annually does not create the most equitable allocation of costs between our individual programs. We will perform our indirect cost allocations more periodically during the course of the fiscal year to ensure that more appropriate times studies and applicable participant hours are being utilized to limit the potential of allocating unrelated indirect costs from the year to individual programs, including the federally funded programs.

We agree that, due to data entry errors, the SEFA provided at the start of the single audit did not include the appropriate and applicable federal expenditures. We will be more diligent in the preparation of the SEFA to help prevent the potential for inadvertently misrepresenting the total federal expenditures and avoid the necessity for adjustments to the SEFA in future audits. At the issuance of the reports, we have enhanced our internal controls and processes related to the preparation of the SEFA to prevent this situation in future years. Our goal is to eliminate any errors to ensure that all applicable federal expenditures are complete and accurate.

Management’s Response: Management agrees with the finding. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Anne Bacon, CEO Corrective Action Plan: The auditor finding concludes that the cause of the finding is: “Rapid growth of new funding without a corresponding increase in fiscal personnel has resulted in additional responsibilities placed on the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer.
