Finding 2023-001 – U.S. Department of Education (USDE), Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs We observed the following conditions in connection with our testing of the various U.S. Department of Education, Title IV, Student Financial Assistance Programs: 1. Two (2) out of 16 students tested did not have timely or accurate enrollment reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). 2. One (1) out of 16 students tested did not have a post withdrawal disbursement within the allotted days of the school’s withdrawal date determination. 3. One (1) out of 16 students tested did not have Title IV funds returned within the allotted days of the school’s withdrawal date determination. 4. One (1) out of 16 students received Title IV funding and was not charged for courses taken. The questioned cost is $124. The funds were subsequently returned to the USDE. 5. One (1) out of 16 students received a Pell grant greater than the amount for which the student was eligible. The questioned cost is $862. The funds were subsequently returned to the USDE. 6. Five (5) out of 16 students were selected for refund canceled check testing. There was no documentation provided to test signatures for two (2) of the students selected. All requested documents were subsequently provided. 7. One (1) out of 16 students tested was eligible for a Federal Direct Subsidized loan and was not awarded. 8. One (1) out of 16 students tested had an award letter that stated subsequent Title IV disbursements were available to the student and the subsequent disbursements were not awarded." The University should implement corrective actions to ensure that the above findings are resolved and do not recur in future periods. Corrective Actions – 1. NSLDS reporting is actively reconciled monthly with our third-party financial aid servicer and, as of November 16, 2023, the University confirmed 97.34% reported. The University will continue to actively monitor this reporting to ensure accuracy and timeliness. 2. Student Information System integration with third-party financial aid servicer’s system will allow the University to improve timing of drop notifications to ensure the third-party financial aid servicer is notified timely. The University will continue to monitor and review the process of withdrawal disbursement more thoroughly with the third-party financial aid processor to ensure that they are processed timely. 3. The University will monitor and review the process of returning Title IV funds to ensure that returns are processed timely. 4. The University has implemented a process that cross-checks enrollment with financial aid funding to identify and address situations in which students are inappropriately awarded Title IV funding. 5. The University is working with its third-party financial aid servicer to ensure Pell grants are awarded appropriately and within the amounts eligible. The University will ensure timely enrollment changes are sent to third-party financial aid servicer for any adjustments to aid eligibility. 6. The University has robust controls related to student refunds, and will continue to enforce these controls and retain the necessary documentation. 7. The University is working with its third-party financial aid servicer to ensure Federal Direct Subsidized Loans are awarded in all cases where appropriate. This is a unique situation where the FA software failed to recognize NSLDS information. The third-party financial aid servicer will monitor students closer until the system issue is resolved. 8. The Universiy is working with its third-party financial aid servicer to ensure Title IV disbursements, as outlined in award letters, are ultimately awarded.

The Hannibal School District received millions of one-time federal grant monies to assist with expenditures incurred as a result of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Although these funds were hugely helpful, minimal guidance was available. This is not a finding that has been presented to us in the past. The school district has received federal and state grants annually that are reconciled to the appropriate project codes and this process will be diligently followed as in prior years. For example, the district was awarded the Immediate Responses Services grant in Fall 2023. The expenditure project codes for this grant have been provided by grant guidance and any and all expenditures will be coded using these expenditures codes. This should prevent any need for future journal entries moving forward. This process is an example of the systematic process that will be followed for all grants.

Additionally, typos were included in risk assessment documentation for 4 of the 25 selections tested indicating a prior fiscal year Uniform Guidance report was reviewed. Following the identification of subrecipient Uniform Guidance findings where no follow-up was documented, the University communicated with the respective entities and determined that there was no impact to the University’s awards. By June 30, 2024, and on an annual basis, the University’s Post-Award office will review all subrecipient Uniform Guidance reports, consistently document report information, findings noted, and follow-up performed with the subrecipient, if necessary. The consolidated analysis will be reviewed by the Director of Post-Award Research Administration and the University Controller.

This following is submitted as our management response to the audit finding regarding Allowable Costs Reporting in the District’s FY23 Audit. At the close of Fiscal Year 2023, the District submitted a payment request for federal ESSER reimbursement, encompassing eligible employee expenses spanning multiple years in accordance with ESSER guidelines. However, an administrative oversight became apparent, as the expense codes and ASBRs for the relevant years had not been amended to align with the represented expenditures. To address this, the District is undertaking a meticulous correction process through adjusting journal entries. This corrective action will ensure that the expense codes accurately reflect the corresponding project codes and Fiscal Year expenditures. Simultaneously, the ASBRs for the affected years will be resubmitted, aligning with the requisite financial standards. Looking ahead, the District is instituting a proactive measure to prevent recurrence. The superintendent, or a designated district representative, will verify that the District's accounting software records, as compiled by the District Bookkeeper, impeccably mirror the accurate totals for expense codes, incorporating the requisite accounting codes, including project codes. This validation will be a prerequisite before any future reimbursement request for federal funds is submitted, ensuring a heightened level of precision and compliance in financial reporting. These measures underscore the District's commitment to fiscal accountability, rectifying oversights, and fortifying internal controls to uphold the integrity of financial processes. The district will begin immediately implementing the revised proactive measures and is in the process of rectifying the noted issues with corrective journal entries. This process will be updated prior to January 15, 2024. Should you need anything further from the district, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Finding number: 2023-003; Finding: While testing the procurement requirement, we were able to test compensating controls, but noted that internal controls were not properly designed over the procurement requirement. Prior to receiving federal funding beginning in August 2022, the program conducted a request for proposal (RFP) process and began contracting with a vendor. When federal funding was obtained, the vendor was not reevaluated in accordance with the Uniform Guidance to ensure the procurement requirements were being met. In addition, we noted UW Health – Madison’s procurement policy documents do not include all of the information that is required by the Uniform Guidance. Correction actions taken or planned: UW Health will develop processes and procedures to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance. Vendors will be reevaluated for compliance with the Uniform Guidance prior to being charged to any grant.

Finding number: 2023-002; Finding: During our testing, we noted that internal controls were not properly designed over activities allowed or unallowed, allowable costs/cost principles and period of performance to identify program expenditures from other expenditures in the cost center. Additionally, we noted controls were not operating as designed to ensure payroll expenses charged to the program were properly approved. In our sample of 20 payroll expenditures, two had no evidence of timesheet approval. Correction actions taken or planned: Additional review and approval of allowable expenditures will be done by another individual outside of the preparer. Any payroll related dollars charged to the grant will require sign off by the manager prior to charging the expense to the grant. Anticipated completion Date: February 2024; UW Health employees responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Heather Brahm, Director of Finance & Controller, and Jamie Soyk, Program Director of Financial Reporting

Finding number: 2023-001; Finding: UW Health did not maintain effective internal controls over allowable costs, cost principles and reporting for the PRF program for Periods 4 and 5. In addition, during our testing we noted errors in the amount of revenue reported in the portal. This resulted in an overstatement of actual 2020 revenues of $10,000 and an understatement of actual 2021 revenues of $1,000,002 on the Period 4 and Period 5 portal submissions, respectively, for the University of Wisconsin Medical Foundation, Inc. (UWMF). Correction actions taken or planned: A systematic approach will be utilized to identify compliance reporting requirements. A secondary review of Provider Relief Fund reporting, if applicable in the future, will be documented and approved prior to final submission. Anticipated completion Date: December 2023; UW Health employees responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Heather Brahm, Director of Finance & Controller, and Jamie Soyk, Program Director of Financial Reporting

Corrective Action: The District has implemented additional internal controls and monitoring around claiming and reconciling federal funds. Additional Controls are listed below: 1. A reconciliation of all federal funds will be done prior to the state claiming deadline of August 15th. 2. A spreadsheet has been developed that will be maintained by the CFO for any and all grants that are processed through the state GAPS system. This document will allow the district to better monitor timeliness and accuracy of claims. It will detect and prevent any variance in federal budgeting within GAPS or variances between expenditures and related claims. 3. Each federal program will be required to submit a claim packet each quarter regardless of the existence of expenditures. If there are no expenditures related to a grant in a particular quarter. This documentation will serve as a notification that there should be no claim for the quarter and it will be noted on the spreadsheet mentioned in internal control #1. 4. Each federal program office will be required to submit, along with their normal claim packet, a year-to-date report in addition to the normal quarterly report. This addition will detect any claims that may have been missed earlier in the year. In addition to these controls, additional training has been provided to each affected federal program and every federal program is now required to have quarterly pre-claim meetings with the Chief Financial Officer to ensure adequate and accurate communication and to ensure expenditures and claims are progressing timely.

Finding Number 2023-005 — Significant Deficiency in Internal Control/Non-Compliance — Appropriate Expense Period of Covid 19-ESSER II 23b — Credit Recovery Condition: During expense testing of ESSER funds, a journal entry that reclassed the cost of Edmentum, program licenses for Plato courses, had expensed the entire annual license fee. The period for eligible expenditures did not begin until October 1, 2022. This journal entry expensed the full cost of the invoice, $11,914.50, and the district did not prorate the costs to include only those expenses from October 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The District did not adhere to the proper period for expenditures. Responsible Person: Carl Seiter, Director of Business Services Implementation Date: December 31, 2023 Corrective Action: Develop a summary of all federal grants. This summary will detail the fiscal year it is associated with but more importantly, it will provide the proper period of eligible expenditures for each federal funding source. This summary may be used and readily available at the time approvals are granted for expenditures. If an expense does not fall within the eligible time period, the expense can be rejected by the approver. This summary will be shared with all administrators and staff. In addition, the process for reclass journal entries will also include a pause to check that each invoice associated with a federal grant, is falling within the proper period of expenditures. Sincerely, Carl Seiter Director of Business Services Shepherd Public Schools
