2025-004 REPORTING – CASH MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT ACT WEST VIRGINIA STATE TREASURER’S OFFICE (WVSTO) Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.551/10.561/10.555/17.225/20.205/84.010/84.027/84.425/93.558/93.568/ 93.575/93.658/93.659/93.767/93.778/97.036 For the Annual Report filing deadline, December 31, 2025, WVSTO staff experienced multiple extenuating circumstances including training of newer staff members, medical treatments, illness, and the sudden unexpected passing of a close family member. Realizing that these circumstances would interfere with the timely submission of the Annual Report, an extension was requested on December 30, 2025, with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and was granted through Friday, January 9, 2026. Regrettably, the extenuating circumstances were not fully resolved by that date, and the report was ultimately submitted on January 14, 2026. The WVSTO remained focused on completing the Report but overlooked the need to request an additional extension. WVSTO staff subsequently met with Angela Smith, Director of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and staff members Mary Bailey and Christopher Bush from the Revenue Collections Management Team. Director Smith confirmed there will be no penalties assessed due to the late filing. Additionally, WVSTO Banking Services staff will review the internal timeline of CMIA activities and procedures to ensure that future reporting is complete and submitted in a timely manner.

2025-005 REPORTING – FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA) DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (DOE) Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.553/10.555/10.556/10.559/10.582 During FY 2025, the FFATA reporting system changed from the FSRS site to SAM.gov. Many transactions that were originally entered into the FSRS site did not transfer over and had to be re-entered into SAM.gov, making those entries appear late. In addition, we had trouble getting the SAM.gov site to accept our FFATA entries. DOE worked with SAM.gov customer support to eventually get the issues resolved, but this also resulted in late reporting. Subsequent to the systematic issues being resolved, all FFATA reports have been completed timely and will continue to be reported timely going forward.

Each request is evaluated for accurate account coding, appropriateness, and compliance with Federal Grant allowable costs (when necessary). Spending and allowable costs are closely monitored on an ongoing basis. Once orders have been placed, products have been received/services rendered, and invoices received, the accounting clerk will prepare documents for the check run. A “check payments” report is provided which lists all transactions for the check run. The “check payments” document clearly displays the vendor, account code, and amount of each transaction. The “check payments” report is approved by Superintendent. Once “check payment” report is approved by Superintendent, the check run will be initiated.

Finding 2025-003 School Nutrition Program Meal Claims 1. Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding There is no disagreement with the audit finding. 2. Actions Planned in Response to Finding The District has already begun evaluating current procedures for accurately monitoring, recording, and reporting the number and type of meals served. 3. Official Responsible Mr. Greg Johnson, Superintendent, is the official responsible for ensuring corrective action. 4. Planned Completion Date The planned completion date is June 30, 2026. 5. Plan to Monitor Completion The Board of Directors will be monitoring this Corrective Action Plan.

While the District maintained the requisite supporting documentation, limitations arising from the internal record retention policies in place at the time, coupled with the retirement of key personnel, resulted in certain enrollment records not being readily locatable. The District acknowledges that these factors limited the availability of prior-year supporting data. This issue has since been addressed through updated retention practices to ensure that this does not occur going forward. Beginning with the next fiscal year cycle, the District has implemented a documented procedure that specifies the data sources, query parameters, and data pull dates; requires that all supporting extracts and calculations be retained in a centralized, version-controlled folder; and establishes a formal review and approval process to verify that enrollment and low-income counts reconcile to source documentation before submission to ADE. Staff in Federal Programs and Finance have been trained on the new procedure, and an annual internal review has been established to confirm compliance. The Director of Finance and the Director of Federal Programs are responsible for implementing and monitoring this corrective action, which will be completed prior to the next Title I eligibility submission.

Reporting Award Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Finding Type: Noncompliance, Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Questioned Costs: N/A Repeat Finding: No. Condition/Context: During our review of meals claims submitted for reimbursement, we noted variances between the District’s meal counts and what was submitted to the Arizona Department of Education.

Criteria: Child Nutrition Cluster claim forms should be supported by documentation showing the number of meals for which reimbursement was requested. This documentation should be maintained to support what was requested for reimbursement by ADE.

Planned completion date for corrective action plan: For the period ending June 30, 2026. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Sherry Wallace, Director of Finance.
