Respectfully, the school corporation does not agree with several of the findings in regards to segregation of duties and purchases. First, the SBOA auditors' told the school corporation during the 2019 audit that operating the school lunch program through the extracurricular account was not legal. The school corporation was informed that this account must be transferred to Central Office and a Corrective Action Plan must be in place. This directive was incorrect and pointed out in the official response from November 5, 2019 under IC 20-26-5-4(a)(l l). Second, segregation of duties, oversight, and approval of functions existed in 2019 and are presently occurring daily, weekly, and monthly within the cafeteria program under the corporation accounts and supervision of Central Office. Cafeteria workers record and submit timesheets of duties performed during each payroll period. The Cafeteria Director verifies and signs timesheets to be submitted to the Treasurer and Deputy Treasurer for review and payment from the Cafeteria account. A payroll docket report is sent to the Superintendent prior to payment from the bank. Prior to the 2019 audit, the High School Treasurer spent approximately two hours per day counting cash received each day from school lunches purchased. She also receipted those funds it into the software system, made deposits to the bank, paid invoices for food expenses, and processed part of payroll. Tasks conducted by the High School Treasurer were segregated by a timesheet and supervised by the High School Principal. All those tasks were shifted to Central Office in 2020 and are now segregated to the Treasurer and Deputy Treasurer. The Treasurer documents hours spent on Cafeteria accounts on a timesheet for review and signature by the Superintendent. Financial reports of expenditures and revenues are provided for review and oversight to the Superintendent and School Board at monthly board meetings. Third, RSSC has a small Central Office consisting of a Superintendent, Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer, and Secretary. It has no Assistant Superintendents, Human Resources Director, or Business Manager. Each person in Central Office wears multiple hats and performs multiple duties each day. It was noted in the Audit Report filed from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010 that " ...Randolph Southern School Corporation is unable, due to financial limitations, to employ additional personnel to segregate duties in our receipts and cash and investment balances. This statement would apply to all of our internal controls. " The circumstances for RSSC have not changed in the audit periods from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2022. Corrective Action Plan: The School Board had chosen not to add additional staffing due to costs. RSSC is still unable to segregate duties for financial transactions and reporting. Fourth, the Cafeteria Program only has one full-time staff member, the Cafeteria Director. Eight part-time cafeteria workers prepare and feed up to 300 students each day. This food service program is one of the best run programs in the State oflndiana. It has not had one food preparation or sanitation violation from IDOE or Department of Health in the last 12 years. Fifth, the Cafeteria Program is economically efficient and fiscally responsible. The account carries at least a 3-month cash balance at all times. This success is a direct result of oversight by the combination of the Superintendent, Treasurer, and Cafeteria Director. RSSC adopted board policy 6114 Cost Principles-Spending Federal Funds on May 9, 2016. RSSC has had an Indirect Cost Rate in place since 2013. The adopted policy allows the school corporation to apply Indirect Costs to all federal funds including the Cafeteria account. On December 5, 2019, email communications between the Dr. Donnie Bowsman, Superintendent and Tina Herzog, IDOE Assistant Director of Operations and Food Distributions clearly state the school corporation can apply the Indirect Cost Rate to the Cafeteria account. The email communication clearly states that the high cash balance was a result of not applying the Indirect Cost Rate to the Cafeteria account (See Exhibit 1 Emails). The Indirect Rate was approved by the IDOE Office of School Finance and existed prior to the audit years being referenced in the finding. Technically, the prospective portion (going forward for the next school year) as referenced on pages 24-25 of USDA Indirect Cost Guidance Manual pertains to the 2013 Fiscal Year. Moreover, the fact was reiterated by the IDOE School Nutrition Office with email communications on December 5, 2019, not 2021 or 2022 as referenced in the finding. RSSC has not charged or recouped the Cafeteria Account the Indirect Cost rate for many years and has subsidized this account which should be independent and self-sufficient. The School Corporation did not apply the Indirect Cost Rate in 2020 or 2021 because we were not sure how many students would be eating and how fiscally sound the account would be due to students not attending school because of COVID. Corrective Action Plan: The Indirect Cost Rate will be applied and collected in the future prior to June 30 of each current fiscal year. It should also be noted that in 2021, RSSC purchased a new cafeteria dishwasher utilizing ESSER II funds. This unit was 20+ years old and needed to be replaced in order to continue feeding children and to run the food service program. This expense could have been and should have been a direct cost of $58,189 to the Cafeteria account. However, due to the unknown circumstances of COVID, the RSSC could not take a chance. The ESSER II grant is still open and we are now questioning whether this expense could be charged directly to the Cafeteria account. Those ESSER II fund could be utilized for staffing to support student learning loss and remediation. Sixth, COVID caused this financial account to increase exponentially from 2020 to 2021. ESSER funds were provided by the federal government to provide free lunches to every child which paid the food operations expenses for two school years. Student participation of eating school lunches increased during these time periods. Additionally, staff members were receiving hazard pay incentives on top of their regular hourly rate. Further, the School Corporation and Cafeteria Program took on the enormous task of feeding children over the summers of 2020 and 2021 when COVID cases were at its peak. The cafeteria personnel fed 5286 and 5740 students respectfully during those summers. The number of meals served during the summer almost equaled the total amount of meals served during the entire school year for each respective academic year. These additional meals created additional unexpected revenues for the fiscal year. The school corporation did not charge mileage for satellite lunches being delivered or indirect costs.

2022-001 ? Financial Close and Reporting (Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting) - Repeated (Prior Year Finding 2021-001) Management Response: The Tribe has continued to develop the fiscal department by hiring three employees (two full-time and one part-time for the fiscal department. The new employees completed accounting courses conducted by professional entities in the field of governmental and tribal fund accounting such as the GFOA, NAFOA, Moss Adams, and Oklahoma State University. The Tribe has continued to retain the services of a CPA consultant to train and assist them as needed. The Tribe has budgeted for an increase in indirect funding in discussion with the BIA's indirect cost services and implemented a process for budgeting. The Tribe has implemented an online grant management system (CGMS) to document and monitor all the approved grants more accurately. The Tribe conducted a quarterly review for the stale checks in compliance with the Tribe fiscal policy to void outstanding checks over 90 days regularly. The fiscal department created a new GL account as "Unclaimed Property" to record the voided outstanding checks. The fiscal department created new procedures and updated the existing ones such as the Accounts Payable and Cash Handling procedures. The fiscal department created new forms for check requests, drawdowns, invoice requests, and transfer requests which created more control and supervision over the expenditures and grant management by adding and requesting more information such as award number, effective date, indirect calculation, budgets, balance for grants, etc. Another activity conducted by the fiscal department to ensure the accuracy of transactions is to reconcile accounts on a monthly basis. The fiscal department created a monthly binder for the Wiyot Tribe's monthly Council Meeting that consists of 16 different sections including but not limited to financial statements, Bank Reconciliations for all accounts, Journal Vouchers, AP reports, AR reports, drawdowns, and invoice requests. This cumulative monthly report is accompanied by a Month-end Closing form in which all the fiscal activities are listed according to the performer, date of performance, and status of the activities. This form is signed by the Fiscal staff, fiscal manager, and Tribal administrator and presented to the Council members and the Tribal Treasurer for review and approval. This form helps to indicate the accuracy of the attached fiscal reports and assure the Council that the required activities were performed by the fiscal department. The month-end closing report will assist the fiscal department in performing account reconciliation in a timely manner throughout the year rather than the year-end closeout. Another activity conducted by the fiscal department to address this finding was reviving the accounts receivable of the Tribe. The new form for invoice requests was created and applied for all departments to use. This form helps to accumulate all the payments for different services conducted by the Tribal departments for outside customers, which increases internal control and diminishes the risk of fraud. The drawdown process is also moved to the AR rather than journal vouchers which helps the Departments to trace their awards' financial activities with more accuracy and enables the fiscal to perform its financial activities regarding grant management including indirect cost calculation and expenditure/revenue recording precisely and correctly. To fix the issue with the 941 reports, the Tribe will provide a procedure regarding the production and submission of 941 reports for each quarter that specifies assigned duties for each involved employee. These reports will be included in the month-end closing form submitted to the Council and the Treasurer in each quarter which will help to oversee the procedure and ensure its completion for each quarter.

Management Response and Planned Corrective Action 1. While the current Internal Controls Manual allows for certain expenditures to be made with verbal and/or written approval from the Executive Director, the control does not state a dollar amount or specific circumstance for verbal approval and therefore the control has been clarified as follows: All funds to be expended must be approved by the Executive Director, either verbally or in writing, prior to the expenditure. Program staff may then request that the FA, OM or Administrative Associate purchase the needed expense either by debit card or credit card or produce a check for the ED?s signature. All requests for purchase must follow the same backup paperwork procedures outlined in the AP Procedures section. For all routine essential office supply individual item purchases $250 and under, the OM or FA has approval to make these purchases without ED verbal or written approval prior to the expenditure. All expenditures for individual items above $250 must be verbally approved by the ED prior to purchase and documented via email which then should be attached to the purchase documentation. Purchases $1,500 and above should follow the procurement policy outlined below in Control No. 21. In addition, the procurement control has been clarified with updated language as follows: For goods and services $1,499 and under, Executive Director approval is required as per the purchase policy above referenced in Control No. 17. 2. NBCC maintains an onboarding process and checklist which includes the completion of the I-9 for each employee. This process is strictly followed. The three employees identified during the testing that lacked a completed I-9 on file were for one employee who was hired during the initial period of the COVID lockdown when all processes were significantly impacted by the initial COVID quarantine, and the remaining two were onboarded by a staff member serving temporarily in the human resources position after the exiting human resources staff member did not return from a medical leave of absence. All current staff have completed I-9?s on file and there is every expectation that this control will continue to be enforced. As an additional guarantee of having a completed I-9 in place, NBCC has asked our external accounting firm, Vista Financial, to create an additional control where a new employee is not onboarded into Quickbooks for payroll without the completed I-9.

A. Current Findings on the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs 1. Finding 2022-001 a. Comments on the Finding and Recommendation: Management agrees with the finding and the recommendation provided by the auditor. b. Action(s) Taken or Planned on the Finding As noted in the finding, there was staff turnover of key employees in the Finance department, and the submission of the form HUD-9250 was missed. Upon review of year end balances, the current Finance staff identified that we missed the HAP offset, and we contacted our HUD representative and rectified the situation. The offset was taken on the March 2023 HAP payment. The current accountant responsible for reconciling Frostburg's accounts has been provided education related to Notice H-2012-14. Monthly balance sheet reconciliations will be prepared by the accountant and reviewed by the Finance director, to ensure that required HAP offsets are made timely.
