Identifying Number: 2022-003 Finding: During discussion, observations, and our understanding of internal control, we observed the District followed the State of Missouri's guidelines for construction projects, which states that public works projects valued at $75,000 and under are not subject to prevailing wage regardless of federal funding source. Two of the seven construction contracts paid with federal assistance funds that were below $75,000, but in excess of the applicable $2,000 federal threshold, did not have prevailing wage rate clauses. Question costs - $13,420. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Procurement and Facilities/Operations Department will update procedures and provide additional training of staff of the Davis Bacon Act requirements. The training of staff, updating of procedures is underway, and anticipated to be completed by January 31, 2023. The two vendors have been contacted. The District will collect documentation from the vendors and calculate any differential due. The contact person responsible for the corrective action is Erin Thompson, Interim Chief Finance & Operations Officer.

2022-001 - Inadequate Controls Over Financial Reporting Public and Indian Housing Program ? CFDA 14.850 Material Weakness in Internal Control, Material Noncompliance Repeat of 9/30/21 Finding 2021-001 (originally reported at 9/30/19 as Finding 2019-004) Condition: Our audit identified deficiencies in the design and/or operation of internal controls that adversely affected the Authority?s ability to produce reliable financial statements. As a result, more than fifty audit adjustments and reclassifications were proposed that resulted in material changes to financial statement amounts as follows: ? Total assets increased by $358,336 ? Total liabilities increased by $227,891 ? Total equity decreased by $257,671 ? Total revenue increased by $81,191 ? Total expenses decreased by $306,925 Recommendation: We recommend the Authority adopt policies and procedures that require timely financial reporting at the end of each month and fiscal year end. The procedures should include a full review of the balances as of the close of the year with reconciliations and workpapers prepared and agreed to supporting information. In order to accomplish this, the Authority should provide additional training to its accounting personnel. During the fiscal year, the Authority was assisted by an independent outside fee accountant with the monthly accounting and the closing of its year-end accounting for the federal programs, but was not involved with the other programs of the Authority. We recommend that the Authority also engage the fee accountant with the other programs of the Authority. Action Taken: During fiscal year 2022, the Authority hired an outside CPA firm to assist with the financial statements for the Public and Indian Housing Program and Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. Although the finding continues in the current year, the Authority has made great strides to clean up the financial statements of the programs mentioned, reducing the material adjustment effect on equity by 61% from the prior period. The Authority will continue to improve efficiency and procedures/workpapers to ensure the year-end closing procedures become more effective and reliable in the coming years.

The City of Franklin respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Contact Person/Persons Responsible for Implementing Corrective Action: Eric Stuckey, City Administrator, 615-791-3217 2022-001: Franklin Transit Authority Program Review Action Taken/Planned: As recommended, the City of Franklin and the Authority have clarified the federal grant organization as follows: For transit services, the organization is as follows: (1) Recipient: Franklin Transit Authority (2) Contractor (current): The TMA Group For the regional vanpool program, the organization is as follows: (1) Recipient: Franklin Transit Authority (2) Sub-Recipient: Regional Transportation/Williamson County (3) Contractor (current): The TMA Group The Authority has previously and will continue to be reported as part of the City of Franklin in a special revenue fund and includes the Authority?s grants in its single audit. For the fiscal year 2022 audit, the City and the Contractor have coordinated to ensure federal grants for transit services and vanpool services are excluded from the Contractor audit. For fiscal year 2023, the City and the Contractor developed backup needed for oversight of each payment to the Contractor for contracted transit services and grant-related contracted vanpool services. Monthly reporting will clarify financial activities of the recipient (Franklin Transit), subrecipient (Regional Transportation Authority/Williamson County), and contractor (The TMA Group). For capital expenditures that the City and the Authority have ownership, the City will continue to pay the vendor directly. The City of Franklin and the Authority have developed a job description, issued a job posting, and conducted interviews for a part-time Contract Compliance Monitor. The position, the Authority?s only employee, will monitor the activities of the Contractor (currently The TMA Group) and the subrecipient (Williamson County) to ensure that the awards are used for authorized purposes, in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the contract or subaward. Based on the amount and level of work required, the position is under direction of the Authority. The monitor essentially functions in a control/compliance role. The position is anticipated to be paid through the City?s payroll process from the Authority fund. Anticipated Completion Date/Date Completed: January 2023

2022-002 FINDING: Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Question Cost: None noted Not considered a material weakness Response: Crazy Horse School Business Office staff will follow auditors? recommendation. The Business Manager will determine the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards and related footnotes are free of material misstatement and the audit package is filed timely. The most effective controls lie in the management and the Board of Education?s knowledge of the School?s financial operations. Supervision and review functions will be done continually during all phases of the accounting cycle. Cross training with the Business Office staff will continue to be done. The Business Manager will continue to assist with disclosure information and approve any adjusting entries to the trial balance. She reviews and approves all draft and final copies of the financial statements including disclosures. In light of the guidance of SAS 115, the Business Manager will continue additional and continuing training for herself as well as the designated staff. The goal is still to provide training in government financial reporting and current reporting standards to enable management to continue to take the responsibility for the statements and disclosures. The school will continue their implantation of their new financial policies and take steps to ensure they are being followed. All expenditures will continue to be reviewed to ensure they are properly documented, coded, and the expenditures are allowable for the grant. Review of paychecks will continue to include recalculation of hours on timesheets and leave accrual calculation. With the continue Covid closures, weather closures, and my sickness (cancer) this past year has made is very difficult at times to get things done in a timely matter. We will continue to improve and hope to have a better year. This school?s financial stability is better than it has been for years with a clean opinion and no question costs. We will continue to improve, with our outstanding business office staff, and we will continue to make sure we are on top of the internal controls daily. We are not perfect and there is always room to get better and better! ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: June 30, 2024 PERSON(S) RESPONSIBLE: Leslie Cuny, Business Manager

Finding Number: 2022-002 Condition: The College drew down HEERF related expenses for the institutional expenditures at a rate that differed from the final, reported expenditures. This was based on the identification of expenditures that were later not included in the final annual reporting, placing the timing of drawdown for reported expenditures to be outside of the cash management regulations. By extension, the institutional quarterly reporting was also incorrect as it is based on the initial expenditure classifications. Planned Corrective Action: The College drew down funds based on expenditures that management deemed to be qualified however, at year-end, concluded to charge other expenditures to the grant causing the mismatch in the timing of drawdowns and final expenditures charged to the grant. Although HEERF and other COVID 19 Pandemic funding has ended, in the future, such expenditures will be discussed and documented prior to the drawing of funds. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Amanda Ewers, Director of Finance and Gary Black, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: Corrected reporting was submitted on March 22, 2023

The Department of Health Services' Emergency Medical Services Agency (EMS) agrees with the finding and recommendation. EMS will strengthen its report submission process to ensure all reports are submitted by the defined due date and retain documentation evidencing submission of the report. The EMS' HPP Coordinator will identify each sub-awardee that meets the $30,000 FFATA threshold and will provide the information to EMS Finance to review and process payment. Before any payment is completed, EMS will obtain and confirm all Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) numbers from the sub-awardees are active prior to issuing any checks.

To avoid access issues in retrieving submitted documents via the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) website, EMS will retain copies of all reports that include the submission dates.

Views of Responsible Officials: APHSA did not intentionally disregard the requirements noted under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting. Now that we are aware of these requirements, internal processes are in place to provide timely registration of first tier subawards of $30,000 or more in the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) and report subaward data through FSRS. Though registering subawards over $30,000 is a requirement as noted, the omission did not affect the financial reporting and thus there are no questioned costs.
