Corrective Action Plan: 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. This will be a reconciliation completed at least quarterly (following SOV fiscal year quarters) and will be completed 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. Our finance team also attended a FFATA training on February 3, 2023 for additional training on the FFATA system. We will look into the Batch upload process which was described in that training.

Assistance Listing No. 10.558 Recommendation: To help reduce the potential for errors and maximize the amount of reimbursement we recommend that the daily tracking spreadsheet be reviewed by management. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: While there is no strenuous disagreement with the audit finding, the Responsible Officials want to note that the under reporting of 5 meals out of 4,711 tested during the CACFP Afterschool Meal Program is less than .106% error rate. In total 630,906 meals were served to kids during the fiscal year. To reduce the potential for human data input errors, Connecting Kids To Meals has entered into a contract with a software developer to create customized software that will enable CKM servers to more accurately capture meal totals electronically. The software will begin being utilized the fall of 2023. This will enhance the effectiveness of the nonprofit hunger-relief agency. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Organization has engaged an external software designer to develop a new software program that will aide in better tracking meals at the various sites. This is also expected to reduce errors in the excel spreadsheet the Organization is currently utilizing.

FINDINGS # 2022-001 US Department of Education ? Passed-through the NYS Education Department Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies: ALN 84.010; Project #0021-21-3155, 0011-21-2036, 011-22-2036, & 0021-22-3155; Grant Period ? Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022 Significant Deficiency Criteria: According to the OMB Compliance Supplement, the District is required to report graduation rate data using the four-year adjust cohort rate, or one or more extended-year adjusted cohort rates. To remove a student from the cohort, the District is required to confirm, in writing, that the student transferred out, emigrated to another country, transferred to a prison or juvenile facility, or is deceased. To confirm that a student transferred out, the school or LEA must have official written documentation that the student enrolled in another school or in an educational program that culminates in the award of a regular high school diploma. Condition: The District did not maintain supporting documentation for eight out of forty exit student transfers tested during the 2021-2022 school year. Cause: The District did not take timely action to maintain support for the removal of eight students from the regulatory adjusted cohort when reporting graduation rate data. Effect: The District is not in compliance with the high school graduation rate compliance requirement. Recommendation: We recommend the District develop a system to maintain the appropriate documentation to support the removal of a student from the regulatory adjusted cohort when reporting graduation rate data. District Response: The District will review its record keeping process for recording graduation data per the OMB Compliance Supplement. Record keeping adjustments will be made where necessary. Each building will have parents and/or guardians complete the Transfer Notice, after verification using photo ID. This document will be maintained in the student?s cumulative folder. The student?s reason for exit will be documented on the folder with the corresponding exit date. Secondary schools will also complete the Guidance Department Transfer/Drop form and maintain this document in the student?s cumulative folder. In the event a Transfer Notice is not completed, the school district will contact the parent and/or guardian by phone, certified mail, and with a home visit. Log entries of the contacts will be entered into PowerSchool.

Corrective Action Plan - Finding: 2022-001: Special Tests and Provisions - Enrollment Reporting - Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance. Corrective Action Plan: The University uses Microsoft Forms reporting to notify service units of withdrawals. The Dean (or designee) of each program must manually update the Microsoft Office report of a withdrawal ad indicate the effective date, which triggers automated emails to the appropriate units. In the one instance of late reporting, the student was required to withdraw due to a no pass of a class, but he was allowed to complete a clinical/experiential course before being withdrawn. The Dean failed to enter the student's information after the student completed the clinical/experiential course, causing the delay in reporting. The Dean has since begun using reminders on his calendar to withdraw students in this situation. In addition, our Director of Institutional Assessment is in the process of developing and programming logic in the Micrsoft Forms report that allows the Dean to enter a future withdrawal date but delays the reporting of the withdrawal to the service units until that date, allowing the Dean to enter the information into the form immediately after a no pass that requires withdrawal. This will prevent the need to manual reminders to enter the date and prevent late withdrawal notifications. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Sally Mickelson, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2022.

Awarding Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ? Direct Funding Assistance Listing No.: 93.498 - Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution Program Audit Period: Year Ended September 30, 2022 Finding # 2022-001 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control and Compliance - Reporting Condition: The Organization missed the reporting time frame to report PRF Period two results on the Provider Relief Reporting Portal and therefore has not reported results of Period two in accordance with the terms and conditions of the award. Cause: Internal miscommunication / error. A clerical error occurred when a junior member of the finance team accidently changed the payment receipt date to coincide with the date funds were applied to revenue, a Period three date. The Organization became aware of the missed Period two submission upon attempting a Period three submission when they were denied because the Organization had no Period three receipts. Also, there was a Lack of receipt of reporting communications from HRSA. Per the HRSA web site under the section ?Process for Submitting a Late Report Request? it was noted in item 1, ?All providers who are considered non-compliant will be notified by HRSA after the conclusion of the Reporting Period and will be given details on how to submit a ?Request to Report Late Due to Extenuating Circumstances.? As of June 28, 2023, the Organization has not been notified. Corrective Action Plan: We agree with the finding and have updated our procedures to prevent future delays in reporting. When the late filing became evident, we reviewed the HRSA website under ?Request to Report Due to Extenuating Circumstances? and noted the Period two portal remained open to accept late reporting requests until May 18, 2022, which was months before we had identified the problem. Once we identified the late filing, we pro-actively communicated on several occasions with the HSRA office and was told that since the portal period had closed, they had no means to accept the report. The HSRA office verbally communicated that we should be notified by the HSRA of non- compliance and when we received notification of non-compliance, they would provide guidance on how to submit our report. Time went by and after additional communications with the HRSA office in which we enlisted the assistance of our congressional delegates, no further was action. As of June 28, 2023, we have not been contacted by the HRSA Office. Our plan is to submit our report for Period two once we are provided direction to do so.

2022-004 - Eligibility ? Tenant Files Public and Indian Housing Program ? CFDA Number 14.850 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control, Other Matters Required to be Reported Repeat of 9/30/21 Finding 2021-003 (originally reported at 9/30/19 as Finding 2019-009) Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 141 tenants, 15 files were selected for testing in a statistically valid sample. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s flat rent was overstated by $4 due to a miscalculation. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s flat rent was overstated by $2 due to a miscalculation. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s income was miscalculated. Correcting this error caused the tenant?s rent to increase by $6. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s income was miscalculated. Correcting this error caused the tenant?s rent to decrease by $63 ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s General Assistance was coded as wages on the 50058 form. Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority has hired an outside CPA firm to conduct quarterly reviews of files and to assist in training staff on HUD compliance requirements. The noted deficiencies in the tested files are being corrected. Although this is a repeat finding, the Authority has made great strides in the current fiscal year reducing the error rate by 72% from the prior year. The Authority will continue to improve file reviews and training procedures to ensure the files meet the required guidelines. Effective Date: June 26, 2023 Contact Information Chanosha N.E.

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.
