Corrective Action Plan 2023: Alvis, Inc. recognizes that significant turnover in accounting operations and financial reporting teams resulted in a material number of adjustments, proposed by our accounting firm, in order to complete the 2022 audit. To properly address this matter, Jacqueline Neal has been tasked with improving upon the corrective actions which began in 2023 in order to comprehensively address this gap: 1) Fill vacant positions and redefine job responsibilities; 2) Implement an accounting workflow automation solution; 3} Hold internal trainings to increase our Finance Team's technical accounting knowledge and operational efficiencies. Fill vacancies and redefine job responsibilities: 1. The first order of business was to hire a seasoned payroll employee to handle all functions of payroll processing and recording related journal entries. This role was hired in September 2023. This was followed with an Accounting Manager and accounts payable coordinator hires in April 2023, which has resulted in critical accrual accounts being recorded and reconciled accurately and timely. 2. The team then redefined jobs and responsibilities of each team member, resulting in much greater communication and understanding around required job functions. This has resulted in substantial growth in our teamwork and collaboration. 3. The entire month-end close process was redefined with new expectations and tracking. This has resulted in the closing of the monthly books within 15 days after month end. Automation of month-end close workflows and centralization of reconciliations: 4. The Finance team implemented an automated accounting workflow software (FloQast or FQ) in April 2023. FQ allows the Team to streamline recurring tasks, checklists, and centralized documentation to increase the accuracy of our Close Data. For example, the system provides the team with a centralized view of the reconciliation status of each account with balance comparisons to the general ledger, preparers, reviewer, and signoff dates. Additionally, FQ sends automatic notifications when reconciliations are due, items are ready for review, or if the platform detects an unexpected out of balance condition. Internal accounting trainings 5. The team is in the process of creating an ongoing monthly hindsight meeting to review the previous month end process. This will be used to identify opportunities and training needs of the team. 6. The team plans to continue our quarterly lunch and learns which began in July 2023. •

U.S. Department of the Treasury Passed through State of Arizona, Maricopa County (Maricopa County), Federal Financial Assistance Listing #21.027, PE386182260A4 2022 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Finding Summary: The Foundation’s existing controls over federal award reporting did not identify and correct that reports submitted to the grantor were submitted with inaccurate information and that the supporting documentation used to prepare the reports were utilizing budgeted expensed amounts rather than actual. Furthermore, the budgeted expensed amounts from the supporting documentation that were the basis for the amounts to report, did not agree with the ultimate amount reported. Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan: Televerde Foundation has experienced significant growth from inception in March 2020 to fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. We have grown from contributions and grants of $83 thousand and $50 thousand, respectively, in March 2020 to contributions and grants of $236 thousand and $978 thousand, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. During this same period, Televerde Foundation went from 3 employees to 21 employees and experienced significant turnover in finance staff including 2 CFO’s, 2 Controllers, and four staff accountants. The growth combined with lack of a consistent finance team is the primary cause of this deficiency. To address the deficiency, management will perform the actions below. Management will leverage our general ledger to retain documentation for approval and review of expenditures. We will utilize actual amounts for expenditures and in circumstances where budgeted amounts are needed, we will perform a true-up on a quarterly basis. Management will perform quarterly reviews over financial reporting. Responsible Individuals: Michelle Cirocco, Executive Director Anticipated Completion Date: July 2023

Corrective Action: CAPO was unable to locate Board minutes from FY 22 that indicate any increase in compensation for Janet Merrell (prior Executive Director through May 2022). We have been informed by the Board that the last increase was likely prior to 2020, as she had requested additional time off in lieu of additional salary increases. The last record of an evaluation is in the minutes from a Board meeting in August of 2020. Discussion of compensation would have occurred during an Executive Session and would be in the possession of the Secretary at the time and not in CAPO files. Currently, Executive session notes are kept by the Treasurer and will be carefully retained for and accessible to future audits.

The district continues to find solutions to help segregate duties with our minimally staffed central office (business manager, HR director & nutrition direct). This year we modified duties of our building secretaries due to being short staffed. This eliminated an additional check & balance measure added a few years ago of the secretary entering receipts into WebLink. The building secretaries continue to write deposit slips & post payment to our student information system. The district’s business manager & HR director will work with board members on the finance & negotiations committee to develop a plan to add more checks & balances to our current operation. We will use the segregation of duties handbook to help with this process.
