The amendment in the Subrecipient Agreement to increase the grant awards from $50,000 to $150,000 resulted in new information provided by customers replacing in the Award Management Application’s, (Canopy), old information used in the original grant award.

Finding 2023-002 - Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Material Weakness) CFDA Title and Number 84.425 Education Stabilization Fund Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education CFDA Title and Number 10.555 National School Lunch Program cluster Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Compliance/Internal Control over Compliance: Auditee Responsibilities Criteria: CFR Part 200.508, CFR Part 200.510, Auditee Responsibilities state that the auditee must prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, which must list individual Federal awards by Federal Agency, including the total Federal awards expended, name of the pass-through entity, CFDA number, and total amount provided to subrecipients. The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards should be derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Condition: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was presented for audit with values that were not reconciled with the general ledger. Cause: The District relied on individuals with insufficient training or support to prepare the SEFA and ensure that it was reconciled with general ledger amounts. District management did not have sufficient training or monitoring policies to recognize and correct the deficiency. Effect or Potential Effect: Expenditures of federal awards and not be detected and corrected. Because the Auditee’s SEFA was completed incorrectly, and not reconciled to the general ledger the SEFA was materially misstated, prior to auditors’ correction recommendations. Questioned Cost: No Context: Lack of adequate controls over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and related accounting resulted in the following: • SEFA was originally presented for auditors with incorrect information. • No reconciliation between federal expenditures reported on the GL and the SEFA was presented. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs. Internal controls should be designed to prevent, detect, or correct errors in a timely manner by performing periodic reconciliations of the SEFA information to the general ledger throughout the fiscal year. The District should provide appropriate training to staff who are assigned to prepare and review the SEFA. District’s Response: The District acknowledges the deficiencies. Corrective Action Plan: The District will establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs.

FINDING 2023-006 Finding Subject: Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls, which would include proper segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. The School Corporation was required to submit annual data reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JotForm, a form/report builder. Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. During the audit period the School Corporation submitted two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports and two ESSER III reports, for a total of six reports. The annual data reports were complied, prepared and submitted by one employee without documentation to support an oversight or review process in place to prevent, or detect and correct, errors. In addition, because the unit was unable to provide supporting documentation for the information contained in the six reports submitted during the audit period, three of these reports contained errors. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Kelly McPike Contact Phone Number:765-689-9131 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: An effective internal control will be developed to ensure supporting documentation is used and retained for all required reports submitted on behalf of the Education Stabilization Program Funds. The reports will be compiled, prepared, and submitted by more than one employee to support any possible oversight or errors. Anticipated Completion Date: April 2024
