Finding 2022-002 - U.S. Department of Education (USDEJ.

Description of Finding: There was a sample of forty (40) students for which enrollment changes were reported to NSLDS. There was one (1) instance where the student information was rejected, and for which a correction was not made within the required 10 days.

On May 3, 2021, the Grantee inform the Municipality about the determination to temporarily submit to a partial protective intervention the programmatic and administrative function of the delegated agency of Pe?uelas. As a direct consequence of such a determination, since May 3, 2021, up to July 31, 2022 (grant termination date), two employees of the Grantee had interference in all fiscal and programmatic transactions of the delegated agency, requiring their authorization for fiscal or programmatic transactions to be carried out. During this timeframe, key personnel of the delegated agency, such as the Program Director, the Program Accountant, the Property Manager, among others, resigned or were required to be replaced by the Grantee?s representatives, altering the programmatic and fiscal operations of the delegated agency. About the program year 2021-2022 closing, the Municipality of Pe?uelas return the funds surplus after the end of the period of liquidation of obligations, including the $3,288,516 related to Head Start Disaster Recovery program retained in the Program restricted cash account as instructed by a Grantee?s representative. Related to the program year prematurely terminated by the Grantee (program year 2022-2023), the Municipality?s Finance Department staff reconciled the program fiscal transactions registered in the Municipality?s computerized accounting system, with the grant awards, as amended, and prepare a liquidation report of each grant award. Such reports will be submitted to the Grantee to discuss the steps for liquidation of obligations with third parties, and the reimbursement of payroll and other expenditures financed by the Municipality?s General Fund.

Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Merridith Stevens, Finance Director 1202 Wood Ave Sumner, WA 98390 (253) 891-6012 The Sumner-Bonney Lake School District appreciates the State Auditor?s Office review of the Davis-Bacon Act requirements in our use of federal funding at Daffodil Valley Elementary HVAC air quality improvements.

As we move forward, we will ensure ? Capital Facilities Manager will provide weekly oversite of contractor compliance ? Collect and document the review of weekly certifications and payroll ? District office will ensure that our Capital Facilities Manager and other departments will adhere to Davis-Bacon Act requirements when using federal funds

Finding Reference Number: 2022-001 Description of Finding: The auditee omitted a federal award under SEMI Foundation with current period expenditures of $240,245 in its preparation of the 2022 SEFA. The SEFA was, therefore, incomplete and impacted the federal audit applicability determination as well as the auditors? major program determination. Corrective Action: The Organization concurs with this finding and provided the current period expenditures of federal awards on a consolidated basis. The organization provided specific information to support its position. We misinterpreted the reporting obligation for the award on the SEFA. We initially planned to first report the award when cumulative expenditures recognized under the award reached the reporting threshold on a stand-alone basis. We stand corrected on our understanding of its obligation to report on the SEFA report and evaluated the consolidated federal expenditures of all awards and their lifetime value against reporting threshold. Each award included in the evaluation that meets or exceeds the reporting threshold is to be first reported in the year of grant. In compliance with 2 CFR 200.514, we recognize that the SEFA report must be looked at the group level and cover the entire operations of SEMI and be presented in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have coordinated with the appropriate staff to update their understanding and have reinforced our report review process accordingly. In addition, we will include this information in our periodic staff trainings to ensure future compliance. Name of Responsible Person: Kevin Bauer Anticipated Completion Date: The Organization anticipates completing the corrective action by July 31, 2023.

Corrective Action Plans: The questioned cost noted above was considered for financial reporting purposes, and a prior period adjustment to classify the expenditure to the appropriate grant was made in March 2023. In addition, the questioned cost amount was not included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for the year-ended June 30, 2022.

Finding No. 2022-002: Late submission of single audit report package. Category: Federal Programs Internal Controls and Noncompliance Management Response and/or Action: To ensure the financial information to complete the Government Wide and Governmental Funds financial statements and Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are available at a timely basis and free of errors, the Municipality has implemented a plan to improve the accounting reconciliation function and correct the financial system accounting balances that had not been in agreement with the financial statements for many previous years, therefore, was required extensive analyses of the information provided by the accounting system that results in significant manual adjusting entries to present accurate financial information in accordance with GAAP. The plan also includes training of current employees, recruiting capable finance personnel, timely oversight from the Finance Director over the year end reconciliation process and correction of errors. This will improve the flow and accuracy of the financial information and accounting balances being produced by the finance department that in turn will result in time savings and a more effective process of preparation of financial statements that will lead to having them available with enough time to be audited by the corresponding audit firm and be submitted to the federal government in compliance with the March 31 deadline. As mentioned before, part of this lag in accounting and reporting of the financial statements have been caused by the limitation on the personnel to perform accounting and financial reporting tasks on a timely basis due to a series of uncontrollable weather and COVID health factors that required the use of the personnel to address the emergency for the benefit of the community. In September 2022 we suffer a hurricane strike (Hurricane Fiona) that partially affected the working conditions of the municipal employees and their duties assigned. All the municipal employees were assigned also to attend the Fiona effects in the community, delivery of goods, coordination and attending the immediate needs, therefore the municipal efforts were directed to assist in hurricane recovery and address the community needs rather than at focus on administrative duties. Also, we still are working with the work integration of finance and administrative after the COVID Pandemic, we still have some employees that prefer to work on a remote status and part time basis. Part of these conditions had caused some of the delays in recording and submissions, however these are not intentionally situations. Such situations are in process of analysis and improvement taking in consideration the size of the municipality and its actual financial and budgetary resources.

Additionally, UC Health did not have internal controls in place to formally document its compliance with the HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program?s allowability and eligibility requirements. While management has processes in place to review claims for potential insurance coverage before initial billing, evidence of insurance reviews and subsequent verification of lack of coverage was not retained. Refunds required to be made to the HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program were not identified timely. Planned corrective action: Management has reviewed claims submitted to the HRSA COVID-19 Testing for the Uninsured Program for potential payments for ineligible services and timely processed refunds as appropriate. In March 2022, HRSA announced the discontinuance of the HRSA COVID-19 Testing for the Uninsured program and, therefore, remediation of internal controls in no longer applicable.
