a. Comments on the Finding and Each Recommendation Management agrees with the finding and concurs with the recommendation. b. Action(s) Taken or Planned on the Finding The Accounting office will take the lead in documenting the requirements of recognizing grant revenue related to fee-for-service grants to ensure the revenue is properly recorded. Revenue recognition is a generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) that requires revenue to be recognized in the period when realized and earned. Accounting will work with the Grant Management Office, Budget Office, as well as various Grant Administrators to review and update our formal documentation: Carroll County Guide to Grants. Once updated in FY23 - quarter three (3), we will train staff with the fiscal responsibilities of managing and recording revenue and expenses to these grants. This topic will also be added to our FY23 current quarterly / monthly grant meetings with various departments. In addition, Accounting will review the internal controls for booking these entries into our Financial Management System (FMS) so that we have designated employees with the expertise to complete a formal review of revenue earned and unearned to ensure the financial data is properly recorded in the books and records of the County to prevent misstatements from occurring in FY23 and future fiscal years.

a. Comments on the Finding and Each Recommendation Management agrees with the finding and concurs with the recommendation. b. Action(s) Taken or Planned on the Finding The Accounting office plans on utilizing DebtBook which was purchased earlier in the fiscal year to assist with this corrective action plan for GASB 87 implementation and compliance. This will include formation of a Lease committee which would meet quarterly (at a minimum) beginning with FY23 - quarter three (3). The Lease committee will have representatives from various departments tasked with ongoing lease collection and compliance for all leases where the County is the Lessor or the Lessee. Our goal will be to continue to understand our obligations, obtain lease data, better organize our leases, and test for compliance so that Accounting can improve the creation of proper Schedules, Journal Entries, and Year-End Audit Notes for our Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). In addition, Accounting will review the internal controls for booking these entries into our Financial Management System (FMS) so that we have separation of duties between those preparing the adjustments and those reviewing the adjustments to ensure the financial data is properly recorded in the books and records of the County to prevent misstatements from occurring in FY23 and future fiscal years.

Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the noted finding.

Finding No. 2022-002 Program: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Passed through the Commonwealth of Massachusetts?Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Material Weakness 2022-002: Special Education Cluster ? SPED Grants to States, IDEA, Part B (Assistance Listing #84.027) Pass-through program number: 0240-577419-2022-0645; Fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 Auditor?s Recommendation: The District should review currently established policies and procedures for maintenance of time and effort certifications as established within adopted grants manual. Personnel should review established policies and procedures on a routine basis to ensure the District?s compliance with all aspects of the District?s established policies and procedures as well as individual requirements pursuant to OMB. Established policies and procedures should be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure continued compliance with ever changing federal compliance and other financial reporting requirements. Action Taken: As indicated by the auditor, the budgeting for the 240 SPED allocation grant in fiscal year 2023 has been changed to exclude personnel costs (salaries & wages) subject to the ?time & effort? certifications. Therefore, ?time & effort? requirements will no longer be associated with this program. District personnel will continue to review established grants policies and procedures manual with current federal awards administration.

Several areas of Beacon, Inc.?s operations require significant accounting time, effort or expertise that Beacon, Inc. has not committed. The same or greater level of capability would be needed to prepare the financial statements. Summary Adequate efforts have not been devoted to Beacon, Inc.?s accounting processes because management believes that the cost of doing so outweighs the benefits and because these matters can be effectively determined in conjunction with the annual independent audit and other year-end analysis. A complete system of internal control includes the ability to properly recognize all accounting matters on a routine basis. It also includes the ability to prepare a materially complete and correct set of financial statements, including all required disclosure items typically found in the footnotes of the audited financial statements. Organization Response Management concurs with the reported finding. The current economics of the organization do not allow for us to correct this weakness. We believe our current accounting capacity is sufficient for routine day to day needs. We will continue to seek outside guidance through our annual independent audit to correct minor errors that sometimes occur or to perform other accounting needs.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Oversight Agency for Audit: U.S. Department of Elementary and Secondary Education The Town of Mansfield, Massachusetts respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Powers & Sullivan, LLC 100 Quannapowitt Parkway, Suite 101 Wakefield, MA 01880 Audit period: July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 The finding from the June 30, 2022, schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS?FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Funds Federal Assistance Listing Number 21.027 2022-001 ? Reporting to the Federal Government Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Compliance and Internal Control over Compliance ? Other Matter Criteria or Specific Requirement: Grantees must comply with reporting requirements established by the U.S. Treasury that includes the total grant expenditures incurred for the reporting period. Since the Town is a Non-Entitlement Unit that received less than $10 million in funding, the Town was required to submit a project and expenditure report by April 30, 2022, and annually thereafter. Condition: Due to ?technical issues? with the Treasury?s Portal, the electronic report submitted to the U.S. Treasury on April 30, 2022 duplicated the total expenditures incurred for the period. Questioned Costs: None Reported. Context: The Town filed the required project and expenditure report in a timely manner, however while submitting the report the Treasury?s Portal began experiencing technical problems and became unresponsive. Unsure whether its report was accepted by the Treasury?s portal, the Town logged off the portal and then logged back on. This time, the Treasury?s portal successfully accepted the Town?s reported expenditures, and the report was accurate. Several months later the Town learned that its first submission (i.e., the submission session that needed to be rebooted/restarted by the Town due to the portal?s technical issues) was actually logged, as was the second submission (i.e., the submission that was made after the reboot/restart several moments later). Upon this discovery, the Town immediately contacted the Treasury Department and was instructed to correct it on the subsequent report, which will be submitted on April 30, 2023. Effect: The expenditures reported on the Town?s project and expenditure report did not match the accounting records due to the duplication of amounts. Cause: The Treasury Portal?s technical issues caused a duplication of amounts when submitting the required electronic files. Recommendation: Management should correct the report in the next reporting submission as instructed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management made a good faith effort to correctly report its expenditures to the Treasury Department and cannot accept responsibility for the duplication of amounts caused by the Treasury?s own admitted technical issues with its portal. Management will rectify the issue with the next submission in accordance with U.S. Department of Treasury?s recommended guidance. If the Oversight Agency has questions regarding this plan, please call Matthew Violette, Town Accountant at 508-851-6435. Sincerely yours, Matthew Violette Town Accountant Town of Mansfield, Massachusetts

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE Puget Sound Educational Service District No. 121 September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022 This schedule presents the corrective action planned by the District for findings reported in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2022-001 Finding caption: The District?s internal controls were inadequate for ensuring compliance with federal reporting requirements for the Head Start Cluster. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Irina Minasova 800 Oakesdale Avenue S.W. Renton, WA 98057 (425) 917-7773 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The District agrees with the finding presented by SAO that some Head Start subawards reported on FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) did not comply with the reporting requirements of the FSRS system. All awards were reported in FSRS and total contract amounts (contracts plus amendments) are accurately reflected in FSRS. The District failed to print reports reflecting the subaward activity each month and did not record amendments properly. The District took into consideration SAO?s recommendations and developed a Corrective Action Plan which will be implemented immediately. Early Learning program management will ensure that employees are adequately trained and adhere to FFATA/FSRS reporting requirements: ? Amendments will be submitted to FSRS per FSRS instructions instead of added to the original contract amount ? Reports will be printed monthly for all subawards and forwarded to the Business Office for retention ? EL Grants Accounting and Compliance Manager will participate in additional training and train additional EL fiscal staff on the process for backup, redundant process, and secondary review EL program leadership will ensure that remedial steps are made effective immediately and FFATA reporting is corrected for the audit year 2022-2023. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: The District is committed to implementing the Corrective Action Plan effective immediately. FFATA reporting should be in compliance by August 31, 2023.
We agree with the finding, This was due to the modification of assistance listing number for two awards. We will strengthen our controls for review of all grant documents before issuing the SEFA report.
