Description of Finding: In fiscal year 2022, the Organization’s accounting processes and internal controls over financial reporting were not functioning timely to support generating complete and accurate financial information. The year end was not closed in accordance with the Organization’s financial close policy. Multiple adjustments to the trial balances were made, necessitating repeated revisions to balance sheet account reconciliations, and grant schedules. The books and records were not closed and finalized until many months after year end. In addition, many accounting adjustments were needed throughout the audit process. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The State Education Resource Center agrees with this finding. The Fiscal Department experienced staff shortages and related difficulties during the fiscal year. Because of this the books and records were not closed and completed until many months after the year end. In addition, SERC’s accounting processes and internal controls over financial reporting did not function properly. Corrective Action: In May of 2024, the State Education Resource Center hired a new Chief Financial Officer whose focus is to bring the organization up to date on all audits and reporting and to ensure that the Fiscal team has the proper tools and guidance to perform their tasks and to improve policy and process for the department. Name of Contact Person: Jim Fried, Chief Financial Officer, 860-740-4263, fried@ctserc.org will be responsible for completing the corrective action plan. Projected Completion Date: The anticipated date for completing the corrective action plan is June 30, 2025. The action plan will be monitored on a bi-annual basis to ensure ongoing compliance.

2022-002 (2021-005, 2020-006, 2019-004, 2018-005, 2017-006) Grant Compliance Criteria: For municipalities receiving funding from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), annual audited financial reports are required to be submitted within 180 days after year end. Condition: The Town did not submit its 2021 annual audit financial report within the allocated time frame. Cause: Due to turnover in personnel at the Town, the audit was not completed before the deadline. Effect: The Town is not in compliance with the grant agreement with TWDB. Recommendation: We recommend the Town hire the necessary personnel to oversee the finances of the Town to ensure compliance with reporting deadlines. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Town has hired an Accounting Manager and Accounting Clerk to help ensure compliance with such deadlines.

The Organization acknowledges that the unexpected resignation of the former independent auditor, and the subsequent domino effect of a delay in securing a new independent auditor, the delay in the new independent auditor’s completion of the final June 30, 2022 audit report, and the issuance of the Organization’s single audit report delayed the related Data Collection Form for the year ending June 30, 2022, beyond the nine-month deadline stipulated by the Uniform Guidance.

Fraud was identified by board members of the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH) in November 2023 with respect to the Emergency Housing and Health programs, and an internal investigation ensued. Prior to this finding, a committee of the board reviewed the Executive Director’s (ED) financial reporting and were confident in her documentation, which was also approved by the City of Dover manager of the Emergency Housing and Health programs. Briefly, the ED had invented invoices from motels and landlords along with applications from individuals and families who did not exist. In both programs, DIMH provided funds to cover motel stays and landlord payments and was reimbursed by the City of Dover. In practice, the ED simply took DIMH funds, deposited them into a personal account, and provided invented documents to the City that resulted in reimbursement to DIMH. This clever ruse had eluded both board and city personnel monitoring the expenditures and reimbursements. Once there was suspicion of fraud, board members not involved in prior program oversight actively reviewed files with the City’s program manager to ascertain its extent. A meeting was held between the board chair and the city’s program manager to review all files in order to determine the approximate extent of the fraud, which was clearly limited to these two grant programs. In early January 2023, DIMH board members arranged to meet with the Dover Police Department to provide an overview of the fraud. This led to police contact with local FBI and HUD inspector general offices along with the US attorney for Delaware, with the same board members providing all files and in-person descriptions of the scam. These agencies continued to work on uncovering the details of the case and are expected to meet with the former ED on February 28, 2025. In early 2024, the DIMH board engaged a new external accounting firm and created a new control environment with significant internal controls and separation of duties developed in collaboration with the contracted CPA firm.

To avoid future delays, the program will implement an internal procedure to ensure that the auditor hiring process is initiated well in advance of the fiscal year's end. This will allow us to meet the established deadlines for submitting audits to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. ue to complications related to COVID-19 during that period, we faced several obstacles in hiring auditors. In mid-June 2022, we began the process for the fiscal year 2021 audit. Many of the auditors we contacted informed us that they were unavailable, which is supported by the attached evidence. The only available auditor offered a budget that significantly exceeded the allocated funds, delaying the hiring while additional resources were identified. The final audit reports for 2021 were received in October 2023,

Auditee Response: The auditee agrees with the finding. This was a perfect storm of events that created this scenario including COVID requiring the discontinuation of our Point of Sale (POS) System, tally sheets by classroom being used in place of that system, a change in head cooks during the year, and a failure to communicate properly between the Director of Food Service and the new Head Cook. Action Taken: The district has and will reinstitute the use of its POS system so that a child purchasing lunch types in their number and it is credited to that child's account. This system can then be used to track meal purchases throughout the day, week, or month. Since the HeadStart classroom are not MWSD students, they do not have numbers within the system. The Director of Food Services will use this system to report meal purchases and reimbursement rather than rely on head cooks and their tally sheets. Despite this, training should be conducted annually with all head cooks as to the qualifications of a reimbursable meal within the school district, so as to provide a fail safe in the event the POS system goes down for a period of time. Timelines/Contract: Most of this has taken place already in that we have returned to using a POS system. This system has the ability to track data and run reports, so it makes it error free when available. However, people ultimately must have the knowledge too so that they understand the parameters of a reimbursable meal should the system go down. Therefore, annual trainings will be instituted regarding such operations effective immediately. The Director of Food Service will be directed to use one in-service day annually for the purpose of teaching all staff members about reimbursable meals and how the HeadStart Programs fit into that. This should be completed no later than fall of 2025. The contact person would be Joe Stroup, Superintendent.

In March of 2019, it was discovered that the business manager (now former business manager) had not initiated single audits for FY 2016, 2017, 2018, or 2019. The Board terminated that employee. Current administration and management have been feverishly trying to not only catch up on multiple years’ worth of outstanding audits, but to also rectify myriad problems with existing policy, procedures, record keeping, and accounting mechanisms in cooperation with the Indian Board of Education. The School was without a business manager at all for several months, had one individual who resigned after only a year, and are currently utilizing the expertise of consultants to maintain operations. Nearly everything that is business office-related has been completely overhauled at the School since 2019, as we continue to attempt to become current with outstanding A-133 audits. The School is determined to find solid ground and to meet compliance requirements.
