Finding 2022-002 Late Reporting and Noncompliance with Reporting Requirements Type of Finding: Significant deficiency, noncompliance Name of Contact Person: Willard E. Hand Corrective Action Plan: The huge influx of funding from the federal government has placed a financial burden on all tribes, including our own. The added responsibility of administering and reporting on these funds resulted in less time for audit preparation and we were late in securing an auditor and submitting our report. Multiple COVID-19 surges also occurred in our community so our offices were closed sporadically during the year, taking time away from audit preparation. We have also found longer lead times in trying to secure an auditor in a timely manner. With so many more entities in the State receiving enough funds to qualify them for a single audit, auditors are booking several months in advance. We are working to eliminate the insufficiency securing an auditor to complete the FY23 report in a timely manner. Proposed Completion Date: September 30, 2023.

FINDING 2023-004 (Auditor Assigned Reference Number) Finding Subject: Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. 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. During the audit period the School Corporation was required to submit two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports and two ESSER III reports, for a total of six reports. However, the School Corporation failed to submit all six required reports. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were systemic issues throughout the audit period. We recommended that management of the School Corporation establish a proper system of internal controls and develop policies and procedures to ensure reports are submitted timely and accurately.

Determination of grant requirements for reporting will be determined and procedures put into place upon acquiring a new grant. When submitting grants for reimbursements each month, the Director of Business Services and Superintendent review the reports pulled from Skyward, sign the reimbursement form and then the Director of Business Services will submit it for reimbursement. The same internal controls will be put in place for final expenditure reporting for grants requesting this information. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2024
