Audit Finding Reference: 2023-001 Improve Controls and Timing of Reporting Planned Corrective Action: The Organization currently has written Grant Management Policies, and Management agrees with this finding, that these policies do not adequately address the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (Pub. L. No. 109-282), as amended by Section 6202 of Public Law 110-252 which requires recipients (i.e., direct recipients) of grants or cooperative agreements to report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System. The Organization will update its Grant Management Policies to address the requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, and once formally adopted, the Organization will distribute the new policies and procedures to necessary staff, as well as advise and train its staff on following such policies and procedures. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: June 30, 2024 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Director of Finance & Grant Management

Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. A break of at least five consecutive days was not excluded from the reported enrollment period for the Fall 2022 semester, which resulted in the calculation being incorrect for all students who had returns in the Fall 2022 semester. As a result of this condition, Return of Title IV calculations were incorrect for 60 students for the Fall 2022 semester, resulting in $10,459 less funds returned to the U.S. Department of Education. It is our understanding that on July 24, 2023, the College repaid the 60 students affected by this calculation error. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure the number of enrollment days used in the Return of Title IV calculations is accurate and that the R2T4 calculation is reviewed by a second individual. Corrective Action. Upon discovery of the Return of Title IV Calculation error, the College went through and made corrections to all student accounts affected. To prevent a similar problem arising in the future, the College has developed a review process that will require an additional sign‐off for the total days to be used in the calculation. Responsible Person. Ruth Carlson, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date. July 24, 2023.

Auditors’ Recommendation: We recommend that as part of preparing monthly bank reconciliations, the reconciliation with the balance from the general ledger should be performed. Any differences should be immediately investigated and corrected. Once completed, the reconciliation should be reviewed by someone independent of the preparer. Both, the individual preparing and reviewing the bank reconciliations should sign or initial and date the reconciliation when completed. We recommend that the District incorporate procedures to ensure that such general ledger accounts are reconciled on a monthly basis. It is important that a dual accounting system is utilized in each individual fund and transactions between funds should be booked through the interfund receivables and payables. School District’s Response: Penny Crowell, Business Manager will ensure that bank reconciliations are prepared on a timely basis throughout the year, which includes a reconciliation to the general ledger. The District will have the Superintendent review bank reconciliations. Once completed, the preparer and reviewer will sign and date each reconciliation to evidence their completion. Lastly, the District will reconcile due to/due from accounts on a monthly basis. These processes will take place during the year ending June 30, 2024.

Auditor’s recommendation: The District should attempt to separate many of the ancillary duties of recordkeeping including: opening the mail and maintaining a cash receipts log; signing of checks, distribution of payroll checks, and bank reconciliation preparation. In addition, financial information such as check registers, payroll registers and cash receipts journals should be reviewed by someone independent of the preparer or the Board of Education. Lastly, because of the lack of certain segregation of duties, we recommend that those individuals who are responsible for handling financial transactions are appropriately covered by a fidelity bond. District’s Response: Penny Crowell, Business Manager, understands the importance of having strong segregation of duties and will attempt to separate certain responsibilities as outlined above for the year ending June 30, 2024.

FINDING 2023-006 Finding Subject: Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: Management had not developed or implemented a system of internal control that would have ensured compliance with the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirement. The failure to establish an effective internal control system enabled material noncompliance to go undetected. Noncompliance with the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirement could result in the loss of future federal funds to the School Corporation. We recommended that the School Corporation's management establish internal controls to ensure compliance and comply with the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirement. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Andrea Miller Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 765-564-2100, millera@delphi.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding.

Finding 2023‐002 Finding Subject: COVID‐19 ‐ Education Stabilization Fund ‐ Reporting Summary of Finding: The School Corporation was required to submit an annual data report to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JotForm, a form/report builder. Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. The School Corporation submitted two reports during the audit period; however, a single employee prepared and submitted the reports without evidence of a review or oversight process in place to prevent or detect and correct errors for the first report submission. Additionally, for the ESSER I Year 2 reporting, the ‘Total Mandatory Subgrant Amount Expended in Current Reporting Period’ was not supported by the School Corporation's records. Actual expenditures from a provided report did not agree to the amount submitted for the Annual Performance Reporting. The key line item ‘Total Mandatory Subgrant Amount Expended in Current Reporting Period’ for the ESSER I Year 2 report was determined to be overstated by $80,342.

ALN: 84.268 Federal Direct Loan Program; 84.063 Federal Pell Grant Program Recommendation: It is recommended that policies and procedures are put in place to verify that the correct effective dates and status changes are reported to NSLDS within required time frames, as well as create accurate reports internally to track all students' whose status changed and verify against the roster submitted to NSLDS. This could include a review of withdrawal or graduation dates compared to the effective dates reported to NSLDS to make sure they are accurate. Action Taken: We have strengthened our procedures for our NSLDS report verification process as we continually strive to comply with all regulations. Once the Ellucian NSC graduation report is run, the Registrar's Office will compare that against at least 10 % of the students on the graduation list to ensure accuracy. There are six times a year that the graduation process occurs. If a student is no longer enrolled but has not completed degree requirements (i.e. takes an incomplete in a course), they would be reported as withdrawn during the next semester. However, once they complete their degree requirements and officially graduate, they will get reported as "graduated" on the next graduation run. Since these students are processed manually, the Registrar's Office will maintain a listing of the "non-traditional graduates" (i.e. finishes degree requirements outside of the six standard times per year) and verify their status is recorded correctly in NSLDS. They will also compare at least 10% of the students on the course drops and withdraw report against the status and date generated by the Ellucian NSC report to ensure accuracy. The Registrar's Office will also realign the NSC reporting schedule for graduating students to align with our processing schedule beginning with the Spring 2024 semester.
