Finding 2022-01: COVID1-19 Education Stabilization Fund, Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds ? Reporting Program: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Pass Through Entity: Not Applicable Assistance Listing Number: 84.425E, 84.425F Federal Award Number: P425E200445 Federal Award Year: June 30, 2022 Condition: The College did not post the required quarterly reports for the Student Portion. Additionally, during the audit, it was noted that the College was unable to provide a copy of the annual report and supporting documentation for the year ended December 31, 2021. Corrective Action Plan Management agrees with the finding, and is committed to strengthening its procedures to avoid similar issues in the future. Quarterly reports for the Student Portion have now been posted on the College website. Turnover in finance department staff resulted in difficulty locating copies of reports submitted by former staff. New staff will be trained on the Department?s HEERF requirements to ensure accurate and timely future reporting.

The Standard Form 425 (SF-425) is required to be submitted on a quarterly basis within 30 days after quarter-end. In addition, USAID requires performance reports to be submitted on a monthly basis within 10 days of month-end. The quarterly report is dependent on monthly close of the General Ledger, while the monthly performance reports are dependent upon receiving reports and surveys from sub-awardees. The monthly and quarterly reports were submitted in a short time following the due date. The delay is attributed to turnover in Rotary?s staff producing the agency's reports and the limited availability of other resources to assist due to the implementation of Rotary?s new financial system. Rotary was not notified by USAID of any negative impact on its payment processing subsequent to the late submission of the quarterly or monthly reports. Rotary will develop and implement a plan to monitor and ensure that reports are submitted by the established due dates. If circumstances appear to result in reporting delays, Rotary will promptly request an extension and obtain acknowledgement of the extension in writing from USAID. Amanda Ottman, Manager of Strategic Relationship will oversee and implement the corrective action plan by third quarter of fiscal year 2023.

FINDING 2022-001 Information on the federal program: Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster ? Internal Controls Federal Agency: Department of Agriculture Federal Program: School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.553, 10.555 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Reporting Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the reporting compliance requirement. Context: We noted that for one claim in a sample of four, the school lunch meal count was overclaimed for the month. We noted that in October 2020 the School Corporation had overclaimed lunches by 173 meals. We noted that the sponsor claim reimbursement form had been reviewed, however, the lack of an effective review allowed the error to go unnoticed. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Going forward, we will have multiple people verifying the data before submission to reimbursement for claims to make sure all meals submitted meet the criteria and eligibility of the Child Nutrition Cluster. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: The Food Service Director and the Corporation Treasurer are the responsible parties for this corrective action. This has already been implemented.

Corrective Action Plan for Current Year Findings and Questioned Costs For the Year Ended June 30, 2022 Reference # and title: 2022-001 Reporting Federal program and specific federal award identification: AL Number Award Year FEDERAL GRANTER/ PASS THROUGH GRANTOR/PROGRAM NAME United States Department of Education; passed through Louisiana Department of Education Education Stabilization Funds (ESSER II and III) 84.425D and 84.425U 2021 Condition: Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) requires the School Board to complete periodic expense reports (PER) each quarter to ensure the amounts expended to date are being properly reported. Good internal controls over the reports require that they are reviewed and approved before submission to ensure amounts being submitted are complete and accurate. In testing a sample of five PER reports, it was noted that two of the five reports did not agree to the School Board?s general ledger. In both cases, the amounts being reported to LDOE were understated. Corrective action planned: A reconciliation of total program expenditures claimed for reimbursement across the entire award period to the total accumulated on the Period Expense Report will be made for each ESF grant award. The total expenditures on the Periodic Expense Report will also be reconciled to School Board?s general ledger transactions for the entire grant award period. Before each PER submission, the Accounting Manager will prepare and submit the reconciliations to the Grant Supervisor who will review and approve the information presented on the PER prior to submission to the LDOE. The Grant Supervisor will review to ensure all expenditures incurred are being reported and accurately presented. The Chief Financial Officer will monitor to ensure these procedures are implemented and are effective.

Finding Number: 2022-002 Condition: The University initiated certain returns of Title IV funds after the required timing and, for other students, did not initiate certain returns. The University performed certain return calculations using inappropriate inputs. There were three errors that attributed to this finding: 1.Of the 60 students tested, there were 29 students with discrepancies between the date utilized in return to Title IV calculations and the date required to be utilized based on Federal regulations resulting in $5,990 in questioned costs. 2.Of the 60 students tested there were 18 students identified where the University had returned the funds untimely (45 days if student attended, 30 days if never attended). 3.Of the 60 students tested, there were 4 identified where no return to Title IV calculation was performed and therefore no return of funds until students were selected for testing for the audit resulting in $1,715 in questioned costs. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan - The University agrees with the finding. Planned Corrective Action: The procedures used to monitor, calculate, report, and return Title IV funds are being updated in the following ways to address the errors found and the cause of the errors: ?All procedures will be tied to FSA Handbook and regulatory guidance with references linked as appropriate. This will clarify the procedures being used for the return to Title IV process. ?Procedures will include updated regulations related to module courses. This will address the errors that were caused in misinterpreting these new regulations. ?Methodology for dates being used for end of semester and date of determination will be clearly documented for each semester along with the actual dates used. For non- modular courses, the end of semester date will be the Friday of final exam week. (This will be verified via guidance received from the ask regs function of NASFAA.) This will clarify the required deadlines for each semester. ?A new report generated from our Data Warehouse system will be used to reconcile all required returns for a given semester have occurred. This will address students who were also missed in the prior year process.

Finding Number: 2022-001 Condition: The University did not report certain students' status to NSLDS in an accurate and timely manner during the fiscal year. There were three errors identified that attributed to this finding. 1. Of the 40 students tested, there was 15 students who withdrew/graduated whose status change was not reported accurately to the NSLDS. Student withdrew or graduated and was reported but with an incorrect effective date. 2.Of the 40 students tested, there were 7 students who withdrew/graduated whose status changes were not reported to the NSLDS within 60 days. 3.Of the 40 students tested, there were 6 students who withdrew/graduated whose status change were not reported to the NSLDS. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan - The University agrees with the finding. Planned Corrective Action: Following guidance provided via Plante Moran and the Dept, of Education (2020-2021 desk file review and NSLDS direct support), we will be implementing the following changes effective Fall 2022 to address correct enrollment status change reporting by: ? Adopt the use of the published academic semester end date for enrollment reporting vs using the long-standing use of the SAP/SLCM 100 Date or end of a semester payment period. It was learned that published end of an academic semester, per the Academic Calendar, is expected to be reported for use in applicable enrollment compliance timing calculations. ? Registrars will update NSLDS with the actual status effective date when learned for all unofficial withdrawal or graduated statuses. This date will be the earliest date at which Registrars retroactively learns was the actual last date of attendance that created an enrollment status change. Our past practices did not update such students but used the end of the previous semester date (SAP/SLCM 100 Date) if a student was shown to be enrolled in the next upcoming semester. This corrective action will occur for all cases even if the student is not required to have a R2T4 initiated, due to having attended at least 60% of the semester. Students who officially withdraw, in part or total, during a given semester are found in our monthly enrollment reporting as last date of attendances are supplied at the time of formal withdrawal. ?Registrars will enhance or develop (if not already in place), in conjunction with SASUB, necessary control reports to ensure accuracy of identifying students who are unofficial withdrawals at the end of an academic semester and adjust staffing resources as necessary to account for critical time periods such as the period between CMU?s Fall and Spring semesters when the university is closed. This will be necessary due to using the published last date of the semester instead of the end of the payment period date that was used in prior years. ?Planned timeline to complete corrective actions is February 2023 to account for end of Fall 2022 grading processes and manual updating of NSLDS as necessary for identified unofficial withdrawals. ?Contact person responsible for corrective action: Keith Malkowski, Registrar ?Anticipated Completion Date: February 2023 following end of semester grading and subsequent student record updating per our Date of Determination process.

2022-001 SEGREGATION OF ACCOUNTING FUNCTIONS Recommendation: The cost of additional personnel to properly segregate accounting and financial responsibilities would appear to outweigh the benefits received. However, the management and Board of Education should constantly be aware of the possibility that errors or fraud could occur and continue current practices mitigating these possibilities and examine and implement other mitigating controls when appropriate. Action Taken: The District has assessed the benefits and costs associated with proper segregation of duties for the District and has determined that costs would outweigh benefits received. The District understands the Inherent risks associated with improper segregation of accounting functions. Management has communicated the need for transactions to be well supported by documentation as well as seeking appropriate authorization when appropriate. The District requires monthly reporting to the Board of Education for all disbursements to ensure transactions are proper and potential errors and irregularities are identified on a timely basis. The District will continue to review accounting procedures and processes to further mitigate this internal control deficiency whenever possible and feasible.

2022-005: Improper Controls over Grant Transactions Condition: The City does not maintain grant files in a systematic manner to identify grant activity within the City?s General Fund, Water and Sewer Fund, Electric Fund, or Sanitation funds. Grant files did not include a reconciliation of grant revenue, expenses, or related deposit and retainage accounts to the general ledger or to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards. This weakness in the current system resulted in grants not identified initially, necessitating numerous revisions and corrections to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards regarding specific identification and names of grants with the associated Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number, pass-through number and placement of the grant as a Federal or State grant. Ultimately, City personnel responsible for preparation did not adequately prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards. Criteria: Uniform Guidance requires that systematic proper supporting documentation be maintained for grant activity. The Uniform Guidance also dictates that the City is responsible for preparing the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards. Cause: Controls do not exist which require all grant information to be documented, reconciled and maintained in an orderly fashion to support grant activity. Effect: Grants could be improperly reported without proper controls. In addition, compliance issues could arise due to lack of controls. Recommendation: We recommend proper controls be established for gathering, naming, identifying, reconciling and maintaining grant documentation. This documentation should be the basis for preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards and support all aspects of grant reconciliation, administration and compliance. Management Response: The current process for grant controls is being re-evalutated to develop stronger controls for gathering, naming, identifying, reconciling and maintaining all grant documents.

2022-001: Inadequate Controls over Preparation of Financial Statements Condition: The City currently does not prepare financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles. The external auditors prepare the statements and disclosures and management approves and takes responsibility for the statements after they are prepared. Criteria: Accounting standards dictate that management is responsible for preparation of the financial statements. An audit of the financial statements of an organization requires the evaluation of the internal control system?s design of controls in generating and overseeing of the financial statements to be audited. The organization must have the ability to prepare and evaluate the financial statements? format, content, and disclosures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and recognize any material items missing in the financial statements through the organization?s control system. This is true whether the organization prepares the financial statements or not. These controls can be established or achieved by use of a third party organization or internally, but external auditors are never considered a control element. Cause: The City believes its current reporting meets all of the City?s internal needs. While management knows their responsibility for understanding and presenting the annual financial statements, they do not believe it is currently cost beneficial to design and/or strengthen controls over the accounting departments financial reporting process. Effect: The City does not have proper controls over financial statements preparation. Recommendation: We recommend the City continue to monitor the need, costs, and benefits of developing a control structure to oversee the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management Response: The City feels we meet our internal needs and it is not cost beneficial to hire a third party to prepare the financial statements.

During the 2022 audit of Community Health Center of Central Missouri, our auditors found two instances of the PRF calculation being calculated incorrectly. The two instances were: 1) Lost revenue was calculated on a quarterly basis using post-date instead of date of service which resulted in a negative patient service revenue balance in self pay during 2020 Quarter 1-Quarter 3 2) Lost revenue was calculated without consideration of Medicaid cost report settlement and incentive revenue. This has resulted in a finding in the current year financial statements audit. Management has evaluated the finding and reviewed whether any funds need to be repaid and evaluated its controls around future provider relief reporting cycles. It has been determined that even with the two errors identified lost revenues would have been sufficient to obligate the entire award. Therefore, we have determined no repayment is necessary. If allowed in future provider relief reporting periods, Community Health Center of Central Missouri will correct the misreporting. Toby Barnett, Chief Financial Officer, is the party that has overall responsibility for this corrective action. The anticipated completion date is unknown at this time due to reporting portal for period 1 being closed. It is unknown if HHS will allow corrections to period 1 reports.
