Federal Program Special Education Cluster - Passed through the Berks County Intermediate Unit ALNs 84.027 and 84.173 Education Stabilization Fund - Passed through the Pennsylvania Department of Education ALN 84.425 Criteria Per the Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.510, the auditee is required to prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA). Condition The District prepared a SEFA and provided information relating to the federal programs including grant agreements and other supporting documentation. However, the SEFA prepared by the auditee required material adjustments as a result of audit procedures. Cause The District had turnover in the assistant business manager and other business office positions during and subsequent to year end. As a result of the turnover, certain account reconciliations were not performed prior to the audit, which included amounts reported on the SEFA. Effect Amounts reported on the SEFA provided by the auditee were not accurate. The SEFA was subsequently updated through audit procedures, including inquiry and review of grant documentation of awards received and amounts expended. Questioned Costs None. Context A SEFA was prepared by management; however, several adjustments were required in order for the schedule to accurately reflect the current year activity. Repeat Finding No. Recommendation In order to meet Uniform Guidance requirements, the District should prepare the SEFA from the grant award documentation and any other relevant information including the assistance listing numbers, grant award amounts, grant amounts received, grant amounts expended, and grant revenue recorded. The amounts reported in the SEFA should reconcile to the general ledger. Management Response Exeter Township School District had turnover in their business office during FY22 and in the first part of FY23, new employees were hired and trained. The new Assistant Business Manager is undergoing training in grant management, allowable costs, funding streams and report preparation. The Business Administrator will review all grant reports prepared by the Assistant Business Manager and oversee the preparation of the SEFA utilizing the grant reports that reconcile to the general ledger, information included in grant award agreements, and grant amounts received.

Explanation and Corrective Action Taken: The audit for the Year Ended June 30, 2021 was completed in June 2023 which has caused a rippling effect for subsequent audits to be late. The Fiscal Officer that was responsible for the June 30, 2021 audit did not prepare or provide the necessary financial information to the Auditors. That Fiscal Officer resigned in March 2022 and the position remained vacant until August 1st, 2022. In August 2022, the preceding Fiscal Officer was rehired. During their prior employment from February 2013 until March 2021 there were no audit findings. In addition to the Fiscal Officer position being vacant for five months, there was a new fiscal coordinator position created and the fiscal assistant position had gone through 3 staff members in less than three years. There are no staff at Human Response Network with accounting experience except for the Fiscal Officer and fiscal department of three. The rehired Fiscal Officer determined that many balance sheet accounts were not reconciled monthly. It was discovered that closing entries had not been done and the financial statements provided to the auditors were inaccurate. The accounts not reconciled included the following accounts: • Cash • Contracts Receivable to the General Ledger • Prepaid Expenses to Accrue Expenses • Depreciation / Property & Equipment Schedule • Accounts Payable Aging to the General Ledger • Deferred Revenue to the General Ledger The Fiscal Officer performed a thorough review of the allocation methodology, journal entries, and other accounting transactions to ensure that the transactions were recorded properly and pooled expenses were correctly allocated. There were a number of transactions that were not coded correctly. Pooled expenses were allocated correctly. The trial balance discrepancies from Fiscal Year 2021/22 were researched and reconciled and all the balance sheet accounts were reconciled. Transactions were re-coded to their correct account. The Fiscal Officer continues training staff on the proper procedures and use of the financial software. An audit engagement letter for 2021/22 was executed on September 15, 2023. The majority of information was provided to the Auditors between November 2023 and early February 2024. Scheduling conflicts prevented continued work on the audit until late-May 2024. Human Response Network agrees that monthly reconciliations of all general ledger and balance sheet accounts should be performed timely and accurately.
