Finding 2022-06 Report Preparation and Submission Condition: It was discovered that the Organization demonstrated deficiencies in reporting accuracy and completeness, as well as a failure to comply with state law by not filing a required annual report. Upon review of the Organization?s reporting practices, it was observed that three out of the five reports selected for testing contained discrepancies, inaccuracies, or incomplete reporting metrics. These discrepancies raise concerns about the reliability of the organization's reported data, which can impact decision-making, program effectiveness, and the organization's ability to fulfill its fiduciary responsibilities. Furthermore, the Organization failed to file the mandatory annual report as required by Indiana Code 5-11-1-4, further indicating a deficiency in compliance with local regulations. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organization?s Board and Executive Team consisting of the CEO and COO acknowledge the finding related to reporting deficiencies. The Organization has adopted internal policies to address this to include a grants management tracking system that records reporting requirements and a checks and balance system. The required annual report process has been initiated and a 2023 report will be filed in the month of October 2023.

Finding 2022-03 Expenditure of Funds Outside Contract Period Condition: In the course of testing direct disbursements for adherence to appropriate cutoffs concerning the contract's period of performance, it was discovered that the Organization incurred a substantial amount of expenditures on contracts prior to the official contract start date. These disbursements took place without acquiring proper authorization for making disbursements prior to the contract's commencement. Despite the unique nature of Naloxone inventory being treated as a prepaid asset due to its delayed usage, the majority, if not all, of the Naloxone units were fully expended before the contract officially commenced. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organization?s Board and Executive Team consisting of the CEO and the COO acknowledge the finding of expending funds outside the contract period. This finding is connected to the purchase of the emergency medication naloxone. The Organization decided to purchase with no assurance of reimbursement in order to eliminate the lack of emergency medication in an overdose epidemic. The Organization had verbal approval but did not secure approval in writing. Numerous policies will be adopted in 2023 to ensure this does not occur again. Some of these policies include the transition to an experienced nonprofit bookkeeper, training for Finance and Grants Management and tracking mechanisms, monthly grants tracking meetings to ensure inventory and spending, and the adoption of a clear and documented approval process should spending, outside a contract period, be required.

Finding 2022-02 Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Presentation Condition: During the audit, it was identified that the Organization encountered deficiencies in preparing an accurate and complete Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (?SEFA?). The SEFA is a critical component of the organization's reporting process, as it provides a summary of federal funds expended and aids in assessing compliance with federal regulations. The organization's failure to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the SEFA indicates shortcomings in its reporting practices. It was observed that the SEFA presented inaccuracies and omissions, compromising the completeness and reliability of reported information. The SEFA did not accurately reflect all federal awards received and expended during the audit period, and relevant details such as award numbers, funding sources, and program titles were either missing or misstated. These deficiencies reflect a lack of adherence to reporting requirements. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organization?s Board and Executive Team consisting of the CEO and the COO acknowledge the finding related to the preparation of the SEFA. Leadership is confident the addition of a staff person dedicated to grants management will ensure the proper tracking of federal awards and reporting for preparation of the SEFA in future audits. The new Grants Manager will be acquiring training and knowledge to develop an appropriate tracking mechanism.

Finding 2022-01 Financial Close Process Condition: The auditors noted a lack of a strong financial close process which led to several material audit adjustments that were proposed during the audit and recorded by the client to properly reflect various financial statement accounts. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organization?s Board and Executive Team consisting of the Chief Executive Officer (?CEO?) and the Chief Operating Officer (?COO?) recognize the existence of gaps in the financial accounting practices at the organization during the year ending 2022. A transition occurred between independent bookkeepers during this year causing these discrepancies. The Executive Team recognized the need to hire staff and put new policies and processes in place. The Organization began this process in October of 2022 with the hiring of a Finance Manager. Additionally, a transition occurred in the first quarter of 2023 to a new independent bookkeeper with strong training in nonprofit accounting. The Organization will adopt all GAAP nonprofit accounting practices in 2023. New processes have been adopted to reconcile the financial statements weekly. The Finance Manager and Bookkeeper meet weekly for additional oversight. Balance sheet accounts are reconciled monthly and presented to the COO and Board Treasurer.

2022-007 Significant Deficiency in Controls over Compliance and Compliance Finding: Double Reporting of Student Counts. Effective January 2022, the Business Manager now reviews all count sheets and ties the counts to the summary report used to submit claims prior to submittal for reimbursement. She did not, however, review the actual claims before submittal and discovered after-the-fact that these duplicate counts had occurred. The review procedures were immediately changed to include reviewing the actual claim submittal before the Food Manager certifies their claims.

Finding Number: 2022-017 ? SEFA Preparation Corrective Action Plan: In 2022, the office had downsized due to turnover in staff. While a process was in place for reconciling, a secondary review was not performed to verify accuracy of the residual value calculations. To strengthen the oversight of financial management in the School, Academica Nevada, the School?s management company, has filled all the open positions and realigned staff responsibilities to reduce individual workloads and provide additional oversight and review. The grant manager will reconcile all grants to ensure proper cutoff, with a secondary review performed by a member of management.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions - Management concurs the initial Schedule of Federal Awards was prepared using the total program expenditures and not the program expenditures incurred using just the federal portion of the program funding. Unfortunately, information regarding the federal versus non-federal breakdown of awards is not available in initial program contracts. This information is only disclosed as part of the confirmation process. Management has begun working with the new accounting service provider to be cognizant of the program expenditures by funding source through the year. Management will also work closely with the auditors to ensure funding allocations per confirmations, if different than projected, are reflected properly in the Schedule of Federal Awards.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, passed through the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program ? Assistance Listing No. 14.195 Significant Deficiencies 2022-001 Condition: 1) 1 of the 40 tenants selected for testing had an incorrect amount reported for social security income on Form HUD-50059. 2) 1 of the 40 tenants selected for testing had an amount reporting for medical expenses on Form HUD-50059 that was not supported by documentation in the tenant?s file. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that an internal control procedure be implemented to ensure that all HUD-50059 forms are completed accurately and all required information is obtained and maintained within the tenant files. Action Taken: 1) Management will meet with the tenant to properly investigate causation for the finding noted above. Pending the outcome of the investigation, Management will correct the July 2022 Annual Certification with the expectation of correcting the income used to tabulate the tenant?s level of rental assistance, the tenant will not be charged for the error, and HUD will be reimbursed for subsidy accordingly. 2) Management removed the active medical expense from the expense tab on the management software. The medical expenses do not impact the level of rental assistance since the amount did not exceed 3 percent of the tenant?s household income. Nevertheless, Management reclassified the medical expense as inactive to ensure the medical expense is not part of the future certifications.

We updated all records individually through the Clearinghouse system. After all records were corrected, we updated our staff manual to ensure this does not occur in the future. Staff will continue to review all records to ensure accurate and timely reporting.

Finding 2022-001 - Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards United States Department of Education Pass Through Entity: Texas Education Agency Federal Program: American Rescue Plan ? Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) Assistance Listing Number: 84.425U Federal Award Number: S425U210042 Federal Award Year 2022 Repeat Comment: No Type of Finding: Material Weakness Condition: When reviewing the net assets released from restriction in the draft financial statements presented to the board, management determined and brought to the attention of the auditors the net assets restricted for pre-award costs for the ESSER federal program ($1,976,911) should have been released from restrictions during fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. The auditor, when tying the draft schedule of expenditures of federal awards to the updated schedules, determined the Organization had not included the pre-award federal expenditures related to the ESSER federal program. As a result, the initial testing of the ESSER major program did not include $1,976,991 in ESSER expenditures. When this was brought to management?s attention, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards was updated and the additional expenditures provided for testing. Cause: The additional $1,976,991 was related to ?pre-award? dollars awarded during fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, where allowable expenditures incurred in the previous year were permitted by the grant to be used for the ESSER funds awarded in the current year. Management was not aware of the requirement to include these amounts on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Recommendation: We recommend management of the Organization strengthen their internal controls to ensure all federal awards are included on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Corrective Action Plan: Prior to June 30, 2023, management will prepare an administrative procedure that requires the auditor to provide a draft financial and compliance report at least one (1) week prior to the meeting of the Board. In the procedure, management will require staff to reconcile the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to the Statement of Activities and other relevant accounting information to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the amounts disclosed. Person Responsible: Kevin Byrne, Vice President of Finance Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2023

FINDING 2022-001: Various duties that should be segregated for each transaction including authorization, custody, and recording are not performed by different employees. The District has a limited number of employees, and therefore, and procedures have not been designed to adequately segregate duties or provide compensating controls through additional oversight of transactions and processes. Inadequate segregation of duties could adversely affect the District?s ability to prevent or detect and correct misstatements, errors, or misappropriations on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. QUESTIONED COSTS: No STATUS: Corrective action in progress CORRECTIVE ACTION: The District will monitor this situation and continue to segregate incompatible duties as much as possible.

The findings from the December 5, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS ? STUDENT FINANCIAL AID CLUSTER Material Weaknesses: None Significant Deficiencies: 2022-001: Lack of Compliance over Enrollment Reporting Recommendation: We recommend that procedures be developed to review the roster files received from the NSLDS to ensure correct student information is being reported with each roster file. Action Taken: Southeastern Illinois College will be implementing remediation steps to ensure that enrollment information is accurate in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). The College?s Information Technology (IT) department will work with the Registrar in creating a process where graduates who are not originally reported as graduated can be updated to graduated status in National Student Clearinghouse (NSC)?s website. This may include making a graduates? only submission to NSC to update those graduates whose degrees were conferred after the original submission. Also, the Student Affairs department will now review submission data and give approval prior to submission to NSC. To assist in this review, the IT department will develop a data validation report that lists students who have completed a certificate and/or degree and are no longer attending.
