The contact for this plan is Monica Merchant. The School will implement procedures to establish proper internal controls related to the submission of meal counts to the Child Nutrition Management System effective March 15, 2024, allowing for proper segregation of duties and review prior to submission. Meal Counts will continue to be tracked daily.

The addition of a second layer of approval should allow for adequate internal control over monthly meal claims.

Findings and Questioned Costs Related to Federal Awards Finding Number: 2023‐001 Program Name/Assistance Listing Title: Child Nutrition Cluster Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.553, 10.555, 10.559 Contact Person: Mark Ollerton, Business Manager Anticipated Completion Date: Because this has been addressed the completion date is immediate as to the corrective action plan, March 25, 2024. Planned Corrective Action: The process in the District is that two individuals reconcile the number prior to submission of claims. After evaluating what caused the error, the staff did follow best practices in that two separate individuals reconciled the numbers for the claim. After this was completed, the claim was created and submitted to be processed by the Arizona Department of Education Child Nutrition Program. In developing the claim, a number was entered incorrectly on the claim. The corrective action is already in place. The District will continue with the dual review of the numbers. The error has been discussed with staff and they will be more diligent in their part of entering the claim information.
Reviewing all areas of this finding, the District needs to assist with extra help from the district office and ensure that all student records are updated timely based on the review of income eligibility forms or direct certification information, plus additional training.

Reference # and title: 2023-003 Internal Control over Procurement Federal program and specific federal award identification: AL Number Award Year FEDERAL GRANTER/ PASS THROUGH GRANTOR/PROGRAM NAME United States Department of Agriculture; passed through Louisiana Department of Education Child Nutrition Cluster: School Breakfast Program AL #10.553 2023 National School Lunch Program AL #10.555 2023 Condition: According to 2 CFR sections 180.220 and 180.995, the School Board is required to review any vendors they are contracting with for goods and services that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000 to ensure that the vendor is not suspended or debarred from federal funds. This verification can be accomplished by (1) checking the System for Award Management (SAM) Exclusions maintained by the General Services Administration (GSA), (2) collecting a certification from the vendor or (3) adding a clause or condition to the contract with the vendor. In testing a sample of two vendors to determine if the School Board either obtained a suspension and debarment certification or reviewed the excluded parties listing, it was noted that the School Board could not provide supporting documentation for one of the vendors. However, when the auditor reviewed for the vendor, it was noted that vendor was not suspended or debarred from receiving federal funds. Corrective action planned: The CNP Supervisor has contacted all current vendors regarding the vendor suspension and debarment certification process. All vendors were asked to provide a signed certification or confirmation of no suspension or debarment is active for their business name or owner at www.SAM.gov. Also, the CNP Supervisor set up a SAM.gov account to have access to actively check vendor eligibility status multiple times per year. Several contracts have supporting documentation via the CNP NE LA Co-op purchasing as well. A file has been made to retain the Vendor SAM verification information or completed Debarment Certification Form. This information will be verified at the first of each school year (July/August) and midschool year (January/February).

Reference # and title: 2023-002 Internal Control and Compliance over Financial Reporting Federal program and specific federal award identification: AL Number Award Year FEDERAL GRANTER/ PASS THROUGH GRANTOR/PROGRAM NAME United States Department of Agriculture; passed through Louisiana Department of Education Child Nutrition Cluster: School Breakfast Program AL #10.553 2023 National School Lunch Program AL #10.555 2023 Condition: Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) requires the School Board to complete monthly claims for reimbursement for meals and snacks served to eligible students within 60 days of the following the last day of the month covered by the claim. Required internal controls over these claims for reimbursement required that all data for the claim be maintained and complete and accurate. Additionally, internal controls require that reports be reviewed by someone other than the person completing the claim. In testing a sample of two months, it was noted that the School Board did not have a review process of the claim by a second person before the claim was submitted. It was also noted that the School Board did not include all students that received meals in requesting for reimbursement as well as the School Board used the wrong CEP percentage in the request for reimbursement. In reviewing the full year’s claims to determine the amount over/under requested, it was noted that these errors caused the School Board to under request for reimbursement in the amount of $20,044. Corrective action planned: The Lincoln Parish School Board hired a new CNP Supervisor in November, 2023 and a new CNP secretary/bookkeeper in December, 2023. CEP reimbursement claim training was conducted on-site with CNP department staff on December 13, 2023, by: - Stephanie Loup – Executive Director of Nutrition – Louisiana Department of Education - Misty Woods – Director of School Food Service– Louisiana Department of Education During this training, the CEP free claim percentage for 2023-2024 was validated as 83.78% and a mock claim worksheet was completed with new administrative staff. This percentage will be validated annually. Regarding the review process of the CEP claim, we have implemented a two-check verification method for this process. Step One is related to the bookkeeper’s responsibilities. The bookkeeper collects and fills out the CNP Reimbursement Claim form in the CNP Claim portal, prints the completed form, and then signs and dates the form before it is submitted to the CNP Supervisor. Step Two is related to the CNP Supervisor’s responsibility. The Supervisor will conduct final review of the report data. If the report is accurate, the Supervisor signs and dates the printed form and returns the form to the Bookkeeper for filing with claim records. Then, the official claim is submitted electronically by the Bookkeeper via the State CNP Claim portal.

To address the accuracy and timeliness of our entries into the FFATA system, we will use the USASPENDING.GOV website to assist us in reconciling what has been entered into the FFATA system.  This will allow us to ensure that our grant ledgers agree with what is entered into FFATA. In March 2023 we started reconciliations and plan to continue reconciling a couple times each year.  The work will be done by the Deputy CFO or position assigned by the Deputy CFO.   We will also implement a process that will have all the steps necessary for a grant award or an amendment to ensure it is posted properly within our internal files and the external systems. This will ensure that new awards and amendments get routed and entered in the FFATA system timely. We will look into the Batch upload process to allow for data to be entered into the system easier.

FINDING 2023-003 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster – Special Tests and Provision – Verification of Free and Reduced Price Applications (NSLP) Summary of Finding: The finding was isolated to school year 2023 in which one employee is to determine the number of applications to be verified, select the required applications and perform verifications of eligibility, with a second employee reviewing the verifications. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Kathy VanHoosier, ECA Manager Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-547-3300; kathy.vanhoosier@tellcity.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The process of selecting and performing verifications of eligibility with a second employee reviewing the verifications was refined and fully implemented for school year 2023/2024. A change in personnel since the 2022/2023 improved this process, and sign-offs were done and initialed by both the initial reviewer (the Central Office manager) as well as the final reviewer (the ECA Manager) on the 2023/24 applications. It is the intent to continue with this improved internal control process going forward. Anticipated Completion Date: Already Done in Fall 2023
