Finding 2022-019: U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition Cluster: School Breakfast Program, 10.553 National School Lunch Program, 10.555 Special Milk Program for Children, 10.556 Summer Food Service Program for Children, 10.559 Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, 10.582 Reporting Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) did not have internal controls to ensure subaward information was submitted in accordance with the FFATA. Subaward obligations were not reported in the FSRS and therefore not included on the FFATA’s website for public information disclosure. A nonstatistical sample of 6 out of a population of 54 applicable subaward obligations was selected for testing. The quantity and subaward obligation errors were noted as follows: The NDA accepts these findings and will take corrective action to enhance internal controls to ensure FFATA required information is reported annually. Corrective action: The NDA will begin submitting information in accordance with FFATA at the end of the 2023 award period per direction from the federal partner that annual submittals are in compliance with FFATA for the Child Nutrition Cluster programs. The submittal of information will be done as part of the NDA’s closing procedure for these awards. Date of completion: February 28, 2024

Finding 2022-018: U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition Cluster: School Breakfast Program, 10.553 National School Lunch Program, 10.555 Special Milk Program for Children, 10.556 Summer Food Service Program for Children, 10.559 Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, 10.582 Reporting Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA) did not have adequate internal controls to ensure accurate information was reported to the federal awarding agency. Inaccurate information was reported to FNS. A nonstatistical sample of seven out of a population of 36 reports was selected for testing. The October 2021 FNS-10 report includes annual information (rather than monthly). Line 12b – Membership (Enrollment) of Public Schools was reported as 13. The actual enrollment supported by the underlying documentation of public schools was 22. The NDA accepts these findings and will take corrective action to enhance internal controls to ensure amounts reported to FNS are correct. Corrective action: The NDA has new staff completing data entry and certification of these reports in the federal system that have been extensively trained on required federal reporting. NDA will ensure that additional checks and balances are put in place to review the FNS-10 reports to ensure they match up with appropriate data collected. Date of completion: June 30, 2024

2.) Finding 2020-002 Report Submission Delay a. Program Information: 17.270 Reentry Employment Opportunities b. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.329, non-Federal entities must submit quarterly financial reports at the interval required by the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity no later than the specified due date. If a justified request is submitted by a non-Federal entity, the Federal agency may extend the due date for any quarterly financial report. c. Condition: During our audit, we identified one quarterly financial report that was submitted to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) after the stated due date. Response: Explanation: This delay was due to an unawareness of process limitations regarding the user application process for the Payment Management System (PMS), which is required for any new Finance Director. A formal application and access request form needs to be submitted along with documentation to support the request for access (including proof of identity, proof of employment, and role confirmation). These conditions, along with the 24-72 hour processing time required to get a user application approved by the PMS providers, led to our one-day-late submission of the required quarterly financial report. Corrective Action: We have established a more proactive approach to managing reporting requirements and a protocol for timely submissions of reports. This includes: - Mandatory PMS application processing as part of the early onboarding process for any new Finance Director. - Early preparation of reports, scheduling reviews a month ahead of the submission deadline. - Direct communication lines with the contract administrators and program directors. - Standard procedures identified to request extensions in case of anticipated delays, specific to each contracting agency. Future Measures: Regular training session for our team are planned to help staff stay informed about reporting requirements, procedures, and deadlines.

Finding 2022-002: Eligibility, Reporting and Special Test and Provision Repeat Finding of Portions of 2021-002 Federal Program: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass-Through Entity: N/A Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Federal Award Numb...
Finding 2022-002: Eligibility, Reporting and Special Test and Provision Repeat Finding of Portions of 2021-002 Federal Program: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass-Through Entity: N/A Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Federal Award Numbers: N/A Criteria: Per 24 CFR section 982.516, the Housing Authority must conduct a reexamination of family income and composition at least annually. Third-party verification of family income, value of assets, expenses deducted from income, and other factors that affect adjusted income must be obtained and documented. The Housing Authority must determine income eligibility and calculate the tenant's rent payment using the documentation from third-party verification in accordance with 24 CFR part 5 subpart F. The Housing Authority is also required to submit HUD-50058, Family Report, for each examination per 24 CFR part 908. The amount paid for housing assistance payments (HAP) must correspond to HUD-50058. Condition/Context: No documentation of family income, composition, third-party verification, or HUD‑50058 were provided for two of the twenty five tenants selected for testing for the required reexamination during the fiscal year. Our sample was not statistically valid. Questioned Costs: Housing assistance payments for the tenants noted above is not determinable. Cause: The lack of supporting documentation may be related to the Housing Authority changing voucher program administrators during fiscal year 2020. While the current administrator has access to tenant files, the eligibility determinations done in fiscal 2020 were done by a previous contractor. Also due to the Housing Authority falling behind on obtaining audits, the documents being requested by auditors are several years old. Effect: The Housing Authority may be making inaccurate or ineligible HAP payments on behalf of tenants. Recommendation: The Housing Authority should ensure their vendors properly maintain documentation regarding eligibility determinations. Views of Responsible Officials: WBHA is concerned that the current contract administrator for the HCV Program has failed to comply with providing the requested documentation. We are engaging with our current HCV Contract Administrator (Allegiant Property Management, LLC) on expectations for compliance currently and in the future. WBHA is also exploring other contract administrators or possibly opting out of the HCV Program altogether and working with WHEDA to administer WBHA’s HCV Program vouchers.

Management agrees that due to turnover in staff during 2022 and 2023, there were gaps in communication leading to the cost allocation formulas and leadsheet account reconciliations not being updated on a continuing basis as reimbursement requests were being to the California Department of Social Services. Management believes that all key accounting positions have since been filled by qualified personnel. A formal close process and reconciliation of all balance sheet accounts and indirect cost allocations each month will ensure reimbursement requests are complete and accurate. Process documentation is also being prepared to help personnel in the accounting department follow proper control procedures. Action: Develop and document process for drawdown calculation and year end reconciliation to accounting records. Due Date: 3/1/23 Staff: Don Reynolds, contracted CFO

Preparation of Financial Statements and Schedules of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards Condition: Village staff does not prepare the financial statements and schedules of federal and state awards. The Village has designated an individual responsible for reviewing and accepting the financial statements and schedules of federal and state awards. Criteria: Internal controls over preparation of the financial statements and schedules of federal and state awards, should be in place to provide reasonable assurance that a misstatement would be prevented or detected. Cause: The Village does not prepare the financial statements and full schedules of federal and state awards. Effect: Because management relies on the auditor to assist with the preparation of the financial statements and schedules of federal and state awards, the Village’s system of internal control may not prevent, detect, or correct misstatements in the financial statements and schedules of federal and state awards. Recommendation: The auditors will work with the Village to make personnel more knowledgeable about its responsibility for the financial statements and schedules of federal and state awards. Response: The auditors prepare the financial statements and schedules of federal and state awards, but we review and accept prior to issuance. We prepare financial reports that are reviewed by the Village Board monthly. Any concerns or questions are addressed throughout the year.

The Enterprise Center and Affiliates Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2022 Finding 2022-001 – Material Weakness – Accounting Recordkeeping All Programs Other Condition During the year ended June 30, 2022, management was unable to provide timely year-end trial balances in accordance with U.S. GAAP without significant adjusting journal entries required to accurately reflect the underlying accounting transactions.

Criteria: The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) requires that school districts report student-level information to WDE using WDE684. Student-level information includes data on the graduation rates for all public high schools in the District using the four-year adjusted cohort rate. The District is required to maintain appropriate written documentation to support the removal of a student from the regulatory adjusted cohort. The WDE684 requires information relating to exit codes, to provide information for WDE to calculate graduation rates. The District uses a multi-purpose educational software, PowerSchool, for the purposes of tracking student data, individually or in aggregate. The District uses PowerSchool when creating reports that contain district-wide data, such as enrollment, which is reported to WDE. WSRP noted that if an instance arises that requires a student to be removed from District enrollment, an exit code must be submitted in PowerSchool to provide the reason for the student removal. Exit codes are then submitted as part of the WDE684 submission to WDE which is then used to calculate the District's graduation rate. Finding: WSRP noted one instance out of thirteen selections where student sampled who was removed from enrollment in the Albany County School District did not have sufficient appropriate documentation to the support the exit code reported on form WDE684. Improper exit codes were included within PowerSchool to report data to WDE on the WDE684 submission. Action Plan: District Administration will implement an approval control in the process of submitting an exit code for a student in PowerSchool to ensure the exit code properly reflects the circumstances surrounding the student's situation. Further, District Administration will hold individual schools and related site administrators accountable for obtaining appropriate written documentation confirming that students who transfer out of the District are enrolled in another school or in an education program that culminates in the award of a regular high school diploma and that all documentation related to the transfer is kept in the student’s file.

Finding 2022-001 Finding: CACFP requires that non-Federal entities receiving Federal Awards establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with Federal Statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. The Club was unable to replicate exact payroll expenses that were reported to the state monthly for the program. This is due to a lack of payroll documentation retained monthly. This documentation took time to replicate during the audit. No fraud is suspected related to payroll reporting issues for the program. Response: Adjustments were made to the payroll process to retain all supporting documentation and to replicate any prior period paperwork. The Club switched to a new payroll processor which has enabled improved payroll reporting.
