Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance ? Eligibility Recommendation: The Organization should ensure that controls exist to document and provide evidence of review procedure in effect to ensure that eligibility requirements are met beyond the initial inquiries and information gathering process. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Eligibility requirements are obtained and documented based on the requirements of the individual grants. The program staff are well versed in the requirements and ensure the participants are eligible under the grant. In August 2021, to enhance the existing practice, a Case Management system was implemented which assists in ensuring that proper documentation and approval are maintained. In September 2023, the case management system was looked over and rules were put into place to minimize or eliminate room for human error.

October 22, 2022 Finding Number: 2022-002 ? Reporting Condition: Meals claimed were not supported by count sheets for either breakfast or lunch for the two months meals were tested prior to MDE site visit. Responsible Person: Stephen Grubaugh ? Director of Business Services Implementation Date: 10-22-2022 During the single audit, it was discovered that Bullock Creek Food Service Department meals claimed were not supported by count sheets for either breakfast or lunch for the two months meals were tested prior to MDE site visit. To ensure that this did not continue, Bullock Creek Food Service and the Technology Department worked together to implement the use of Skyward to track the melas served to students. This transition occurred over a few months, as the implementation was rolled out to 5 individual buildings. When MDE came on campus and audited the months during the transition and found a few discrepancies whish were remedied in the software and the claims were adjusted. RPC then audited the month following the MDE reviews and found no discrepancies. Skyward was used for the rest of the year. For the 2022-2023 Scholl year, the Food Service Department may purchase Meal Magic, which is a food Service software that will streamline the recording and reporting processes even more and may reduce the chance of errors even further.

Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: We agree with the auditors? finding.

Finding No. 2022-001: Financial Reporting Assistance Listing Program Title and Number: All Federal Agency: All Pass-through Entity: All Description of Finding: In fiscal year 2022, the Organization?s accounting processes and internal controls over financial reporting were not functioning timely to support generating complete and accurate financial information. Revisions to the grant schedule required adjustments to the trial balance; therefore, the grant schedule was not finalized timely. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: We agree with the auditors' findings. However, we believe the ?Cause? section included with the finding needs more information. Over the past year, New Reach has hired a new Finance Director to replace a Finance Director who had been in the position for many years. When the former Finance Director left the organization, we subsequently lost our Senior Grants Accountant, who up to that point was able to maintain the status quo established by the former Finance Director. When the new Finance Director, Josh Arnone, came on board, he immediately took steps to understand and assess the situation, involving leadership and the board of directors on changes that were necessary and challenges along the way. In prior years, the auditors expressed no concern over the design or operating effectiveness of New Reach?s financial management system (the same financial management system that the new Finance Director inherited). In the past, the auditors did not issue findings on the financial statements, or on federal/state compliance and internal control requirements. For FY22, the audit firm assigned a lead auditor who had only worked with New Reach once in the past, and there was a learning curve for both the auditor and auditee which contributed to the delayed closing as well as the late audit. Corrective Action: We are actively working to train existing staff, and this past year we have been working with outside grants management consultants that have assisted New Reach with financial management and process improvements. We will look at hiring additional, experienced staff as resources allow during the next fiscal year. As a further corrective action, we are reviewing and revising existing policies and procedures surrounding grants management, financial management, and financial reporting, and providing staff and leadership with training on the importance of an internal control framework and internal controls (policies and procedures) that are in place at New Reach. We anticipate completing this review and any necessary revisions by December 31, 2023.

Finding 2022-002 Document Retention (Significant Deficiency) Federal Program: Child Nutrition Cluster Finding: Per 7 CFR 200.334, ?Financial records, supporting documents, statistical records, and all other non-Federal entity records pertinent to a Federal award must be retained for a period of three years from the date of submission of the final expenditure report or, for Federal awards that are renewed quarterly or annually, from the date of the submission of the quarterly or annual financial report, respectively, as reported to the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity in the case of a subrecipient.? Management Corrective Action: While the school?s annual total meals served for the 2021-22 audit year were more than the meals claimed for reimbursement, the school was unable to reconcile all of the individual months. The school has since implemented and automated system to record lunches served. This point-of-sale system will eliminate the ongoing monthly accounting required to support monthly claims assuring the numbers served reconciles with the numbers claimed. Chris Ashmore has already implemented this system and tested the subsequent year-to-date audit period to assure this corrective action has, in fact, eliminated the problem.
