FINDING 2022-002Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Janetta C HardyContact Phone Number: 812-752-4343 X222Views of Responsible Official:I concur with the finding.Description of Corrective Action Plan:In April of 2022 the City of Scottsburg?s annual reporting of COVID 19 ? State and Local Fiscal RecoveryFunds for 2021 provided the Common Council?s allocated expenditures for the reporting period instead ofactual expenditures for the reporting period. This error was corrected in the 2023 reporting for April 1,2022 ? Mar 31, 2023 expenditures. However the cumulative obligations and the current periodobligations were again reported as the total grant award. This will be corrected in the April 2024reporting.In regards to this finding, as clerk treasurer I reviewed the report created by Tish Richey and submittedwith inaccurate numbers. I qualify this under human error, commonly known as a mistake. In the future, Iwill do my best to not make a mistake in reporting and retain the initialed documentation for what issubmitted. Lastly, this was the first year for federal reporting of these funds and the instructions wereambiguous at best.Anticipated Completion Date: April 2024

International Institute of Wisconsin, Inc.Single Audit Corrective Action PlanFor the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022AUDIT FINDINGFinding Reference Number: 2022-001Description of Finding: Payroll and related expenses were over allocated to grants.Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence:This letter is in response to the condition set forth on page 34 Item #9, of the IIW 2022 Audit.Paul F. Trebian, President & CEO of IIW as of June 7, 2023, has discussed with IIW?s account and dataspecialist circumstances around the information provided on page 33 for Internal Control over majorprograms. Findings of audit indicate over allocation of FTEs against Type A (state contracts) for$250,000; and Type B (federal contracts) for $62,500.IIW agrees with the findings of the IIW 2022 Audit.Corrective Action:Currently, IIW is conducting an outside objective review of grants/contracts, since August 2022, toconfirm the audit findings for 2022 and combined with the next 2023 regular audit IIW should be able todetermine the exact amounts, any payback through adjustments made by the state for subsequentpayments after errors were made, and the nature of the over allocation of FTE?s.The reason for the need to combine with the next year 2023 audit is that the state and federal fiscal yearbeginning and ending overlap IIW?s fiscal year period.This is an important matter to investigate in an objective manner, so that we can determine a course ofaction to properly address the matter. Once the entire matter has been analyzed, IIW will be able todetermine actions to perform to provide process improvement to prevent over allocation in the future. Asa part of that process, the organization will certainly adopt the audit recommendation that it develop atime and/or activity reporting methodology to adequately document the payroll charges by grant andprogram, and that its cost allocations be reviewed and approved by the executive director.Name of Contact Person:Paul F. Trebian, Ed.D., MBA/TM, MA, BSPresident & CEOInternational Institute of Wisconsinptrebian@iiwisconsin.org414-403-9735 CellCSTProjected Completion DateIIW plans on wrapping up the investigation in a few weeks, and then will have more information tocommunicate following actions to adopt the audit recommendations and reporting methodology.QUESTIONED COSTS1. For each questioned cost, the organization should identify the amount by state financialassistance or award program and the program period.2. If the organization believes a questioned cost is an allowable cost, a statement providingreasons for the organization's position should be included.3. If the cost is questioned because the organization failed to provide the auditors withdocumentation supporting the allowability of the questioned cost, and the documentation subsequentlybecomes available, the organization should provide such documentation as part ofthe submission of the corrective action plan. The organization should describe how the records documentthe allowability of the cost.4. If the organization determines that the questioned costs are unallowable or that the chargescannot be supported, the organization should provide a statement to that effect and remit payment for theunallowable or unsupported costs with the corrective action plan.If the (Office of Policy and Management and/or Oversight Agency) has questions regarding thisPlan, please call Paul F. Trebian at 414-225-6220.Sincerely yours,Paul F. Trebian, Ed.D., MBA/TM, MA, BSPresident & CEOInternational Institute of Wisconsinptrebian@iiwisconsin.org414-403-9735 CellCST

Recommendation: We recommend that the schools develop internal controls andprocedures to ensure the reports are reviewed in a timely manner to identify errorsand/or irregularities.Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the auditfinding.Action planned/taken in response to finding:Baltimore City Schools had worked for many years with success, maintaining reportingand ensuring compliance, as evident in prior audit reviews. Specifically, with the FSRmonthly reporting (cash reimbursement request to grantor), prior to COVID-19,processes had been in place for completion of reporting, followed by review andapproval to include signature certification. Although reports completed, distribution ofdocuments in the process had been altered in our virtual world and unfortunately did notcontain the entire review/approval/submission process to be completely visible foroutside viewers. A more formal process will be instituted immediately with the nextreporting cycle to clearly display evidence of full reporting process for audit compliance.Reporting process will reflect report announcement, due date, identified preparer,reviewer/approver and report submission to funding agency. Full reporting process willbe documented via controlled, stamped signatory and date via electronic approvalprocess such as DocuSign and email correspondences for grantor submissions.Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Renee Calvi,Accounting ManagerPlanned completion date for corrective action plan: January 2023 (next round ofreporting)

In addition, the auditors noted that the University?s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021, reported certain data elements that did not agree with supporting documentation.Recommendation:Given the nature of the pandemic funding, and the evolving guidance of the compliance requirements, the auditors recommended management enhance its process level controls over reporting requirements for HEERF to ensure timely and accurate reporting in accordance with the stated reporting requirements.University of Delaware Corrective Action Plan:The University of Delaware (UD or the University) agrees that the evolving guidance created challenges in maintaining compliance. Controls over reporting requirements are expected to function effectively now that the reporting requirements are finalized.The HEERF reporting guidelines final changes required schools to change student reporting from the 15/30-day requirement to quarterly reporting. UD continued to report on a more frequent basis for student reporting. Having conferred with the Department of Education (the Department) contact, UD was required to go back and add the quarterly reports. The required forms were completed and updated on the website in August 2022.The University?s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021, was submitted in a timely manner. However, the University is required to review and update the reported enrollment and disbursements to students based on a review by the Department. Student Financial Services (SFS) has reviewed the final disbursements as of December 31, 2021, and will only report on those disbursements claimed by students. Unclaimed funds, which have been reallocated to other students, inflated the dollar amount actually provided to students, and will no longer be included. The Department has also provided guidance to the University on the enrollment reporting. The report has been updated and was submitted to the Department of Education during the open period in March 2023.Completion Date:HEERF Student Reporting: August 2022HEERF Annual Report: March 2023Contact Person:Mary Booker, Executive Director, Student Financial Services

Corrective Action: The Organization transitioned from one CFO to a new CFO. During this period of transition, they also increased the funding being used for construction of a new clinic. The new CFO did not review the information and transactions performed by the old CFO, and this resulted in the initial land purchase not being properly recorded. Because the bank maintained control of the loan proceeds, the ongoing loan disbursements were not run through the normal check disbursement process by the Organization. The Organization has created a new policy to track and account for disbursements that are not run through the organizations bank accounts.
