2023-A Budgetary Compliance Criteria: The Budgetary Compliance guidelines require the School to limit total expenditures, by fund, to the amounts appropriated in the final adopted budget. Condition: The School had total expenditures in the general fund that exceeded the final adopted budgeted amounts. Cause: Total expenditures for the year ended June 30, 2023, exceeded the budgeted amount. This is due to the School exceeding budget primarily with instructional expenditures for salaries and benefits. Effect: Expenditures in excess of the final adopted budgeted amounts. Recommendation: We recommend that management ensures their final adopted budget amounts are sufficient to cover the total expenditures by fund. Management Response: Management agrees with this finding and plans to implement additional control procedures and training of personnel to ensure that expenditures by fund don’t exceed the final adopted budgeted amounts. 53

2023-004 Federal program Education Stabilization Fund - 84.425 Compliance requirements Activities Allowed and Unallowed, Allowable Costs and Cost Principles, and Reporting Condition During testing, we identified that amounts reported under the Special Education II award could not be fully substantiated with supporting documentation. Recommendation We recommend that the District save supporting documentation when preparing reports for submission, as well as review their controls to ensure that reports are submitted accurately. Comments on the Finding Recommendation In comparison with other federal programs that the District typically has activity for, the ESSER reporting was particularly challenging. After the last of the ESSER funding is spent and reported, the District does not anticipate this to be a problem in the future. Action Taken Moving forward, the District will watch amounts more closely, and a reconciliation of ESSER accounts will be completed for each reporting period.

The University filed four quarterly HEERF reports for the year that accurately reflected the spending and accounting of federal funds. The report in question is the annual report, which, by its design (it cannot be saved prior to submission, and the only way to print it is to print a screen shot of each of the 48 pages) makes review before submission extremely difficult. There were literally hundreds of entries in this report, and there were three errors, each of which reflected information that was reported accurately in the quarterly reports posted on the University’s website. Despite the unfortunate design constraints, the University will endeavor to identify a practical way to conduct a review of the annual report before submission next spring. Anticipated Completion Date: Continuing Responsible Contact Person: Eugene L. Munin

Finding 2023-001 – U.S. Department of Education (USDE), Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs We observed the following conditions in connection with our testing of the various U.S. Department of Education, Title IV, Student Financial Assistance Programs: 1. Two (2) out of 16 students tested did not have timely or accurate enrollment reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). 2. One (1) out of 16 students tested did not have a post withdrawal disbursement within the allotted days of the school’s withdrawal date determination. 3. One (1) out of 16 students tested did not have Title IV funds returned within the allotted days of the school’s withdrawal date determination. 4. One (1) out of 16 students received Title IV funding and was not charged for courses taken. The questioned cost is $124. The funds were subsequently returned to the USDE. 5. One (1) out of 16 students received a Pell grant greater than the amount for which the student was eligible. The questioned cost is $862. The funds were subsequently returned to the USDE. 6. Five (5) out of 16 students were selected for refund canceled check testing. There was no documentation provided to test signatures for two (2) of the students selected. All requested documents were subsequently provided. 7. One (1) out of 16 students tested was eligible for a Federal Direct Subsidized loan and was not awarded. 8. One (1) out of 16 students tested had an award letter that stated subsequent Title IV disbursements were available to the student and the subsequent disbursements were not awarded." The University should implement corrective actions to ensure that the above findings are resolved and do not recur in future periods. Corrective Actions – 1. NSLDS reporting is actively reconciled monthly with our third-party financial aid servicer and, as of November 16, 2023, the University confirmed 97.34% reported. The University will continue to actively monitor this reporting to ensure accuracy and timeliness. 2. Student Information System integration with third-party financial aid servicer’s system will allow the University to improve timing of drop notifications to ensure the third-party financial aid servicer is notified timely. The University will continue to monitor and review the process of withdrawal disbursement more thoroughly with the third-party financial aid processor to ensure that they are processed timely. 3. The University will monitor and review the process of returning Title IV funds to ensure that returns are processed timely. 4. The University has implemented a process that cross-checks enrollment with financial aid funding to identify and address situations in which students are inappropriately awarded Title IV funding. 5. The University is working with its third-party financial aid servicer to ensure Pell grants are awarded appropriately and within the amounts eligible. The University will ensure timely enrollment changes are sent to third-party financial aid servicer for any adjustments to aid eligibility. 6. The University has robust controls related to student refunds, and will continue to enforce these controls and retain the necessary documentation. 7. The University is working with its third-party financial aid servicer to ensure Federal Direct Subsidized Loans are awarded in all cases where appropriate. This is a unique situation where the FA software failed to recognize NSLDS information. The third-party financial aid servicer will monitor students closer until the system issue is resolved. 8. The Universiy is working with its third-party financial aid servicer to ensure Title IV disbursements, as outlined in award letters, are ultimately awarded.

The Hannibal School District received millions of one-time federal grant monies to assist with expenditures incurred as a result of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Although these funds were hugely helpful, minimal guidance was available. This is not a finding that has been presented to us in the past. The school district has received federal and state grants annually that are reconciled to the appropriate project codes and this process will be diligently followed as in prior years. For example, the district was awarded the Immediate Responses Services grant in Fall 2023. The expenditure project codes for this grant have been provided by grant guidance and any and all expenditures will be coded using these expenditures codes. This should prevent any need for future journal entries moving forward. This process is an example of the systematic process that will be followed for all grants.
