Finding ref number: 2022-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with allowable activities and costs, and restricted purpose requirements. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Caryn Metsker, Director of Financial Services 800 Eastmont Avenue East Wenatchee, WA 98802-4443 509-888-4686 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The District does not concur with the finding or questioned costs. SAO reviewed various types of documentation and chose not to accept any documentation presented by the District to even consider reducing questioned costs. The standard of documentation required by SAO to satisfy ?unmet? need in would have been hard to meet even if the District hadn?t been in the midst of a pandemic. The District has internal controls over asset inventory and provided equipment only to students and staff with unmet needs, and all costs were allowable, reasonable and necessary. We look forward to working with the FCC or other appropriate agency to resolve this finding and we appreciate the guidance that was provided by the FCC, as noted below. Guidance from the FCC Devices for remote learning could also be used at school. During the pandemic in Washington State we experienced times when classrooms, schools and or districts were closed by health department and state regulations because of outbreaks. Districts had to be prepared to support remote learning each day with constantly changing guidance on who was allowed to be in person. The following guidance from the Federal Communications Commission, titled ?Emergency Connectivity Fund Common Misconceptions?, ?Misconception #2: If schools have returned to in-class instruction for the upcoming school year, they are not eligible to participate. Answer: This is false. Equipment and services provided to students or school staff who would otherwise lack sufficient access to connected devices, and/or broadband internet access connection while off campus are eligible for Emergency Connectivity Fund Support.? From the Federal Communications Commission Order FCC-CIRC21-93-043021, question 77: ?We think schools are in the best position to determine whether their students and staff have devices and broadband services sufficient to meet their remote learning needs, and we recognize that they are making such decisions in the midst of a pandemic. We, therefore, will not impose any specific metrics or process requirements on those determinations.? And from question 51: ?...we are sensitive to the need to provide some flexibility during this uncertain time. If those connected devices were purchased for the purpose of providing students...with devices for off-campus use consistent with the rules we adopt today, we will not prohibit such on-campus use.?

Finding: 2022-001 84.425U - ARP ESSER Criteria: The School should only request funds for reimbursement that relate to qualifying expenditures. Condition: The School utilizes a software to track all allowable expenses incurred during the period for reimbursement. Cause: During the year ended August 31, 2021, the School incorrectly submitted for reimbursement $78,606 in excess of qualifying expenditures. Effect: The School submitted for reimbursement and recognized federal awards revenue in excess of qualifying expenditures for the year ended August 31, 2021. Correspondingly, the School reduced the amount of expenditures submitted for reimbursement for the year ended August 31, 2022. Questioned cost: No questioned costs requiring disclosure. Recommendation: We recommend that management perform a detailed review of expenditures before submitting for reimbursement to ensure that all expenditures submitted are allowable. Views of responsible officials: RAPS agrees with the above finding. Corrective Action Plan: RAPS has put into place a procedure in which the bookkeeper will prepare the monthly federal reimbursement requests and provide a reconciling report and general ledger report to the CFO for review and verification of costs before the reimbursement request is submitted to TEA for payment. 1020 Elm Ave Waco, Texas 76704 11 (254) 754-8000 ***.rapoportacademy.org

Audit Finding Reference: 2022-001 Planned Corrective Action: This is a repeat finding from 2021 audit which was properly addressed and fully resolved by March 2023. The League has strengthened its internal controls over timely submission of subaward data in FFATA (Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act) reports. NUL Legal Department used to be responsible for generating FFATA reports, as they are authorized with review of new grant agreements as well as related contracts/subrecipients agreements submitted for approval. Some reports were not submitted in time because of continuous turnover in the department in 2021-22. The regular workflow was sometimes interrupted, and new appointees had to catch up following their priority lists. Eventually, at the end of February 2023, the function was moved to the Finance department and a specific position designated for completing FFATA reports under supervision of VP, B&G/Director, B&G. All pending FFATA reports have been completed immediately after that. We keep submitting FFATA reports for new grants as soon as subaward amounts are finalized.

Third party vendors will no longer serve as an archive for notification documentation. All notification receipts and various forms of verification will be saved in house, on the City of San Diego?s network. As of today, March 28, 2023, once email notifications are sent to customers using an external service provider, the notification confirmations will be immediately archived at the City of San Diego. This affords the City full control and oversight of the verification process for all future noticing. As of today, all available notification verifications from the third-party vendor have been downloaded and saved to the City network for future inquiries. Furthermore, internal controls will be enhanced to ensure notification verification compliance. Upon notification to customers, the Data and Analytics Program Coordinator will oversee the immediate archiving of all confirmations of emails sent to customers using an external service provider. Once complete, the Data and Analytics Program Coordinator will notify the Program Manager, who will in turn, perform a secondary review of all notifications against the verification documentation to ensure accuracy. At this point, a third level of approval will be added, as the Public Utilities Customer Support Deputy Director will provide a final level review.

Future federal projects exceeding $2,000 in federal dollars will include federal language as required by Title 29 CFR, ?5.5. The district has created a project tracking sheet which contains the following information: project location, project description, funding source, estimated contract amount, date of award, awarded contractor, SAM verification date, intent and affidavit numbers and dates, subcontractor information, and certified payroll verification for weeks work completed.

FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS - FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM 2022-001 Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) Institutional Portion Assistance Listing Number: 84.425F Criteria According to the Department of Education Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund III Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) question 26, institutions may discharge student debt or unpaid balances by discharging the complete balance of the debt as lost revenue and reimbursing themselves through their HEERF institutional grants or by providing additional emergency financial grants to students (with their permission). This is available for the institutions for students who were enrolled in an institution at any point on or after March 13, 2020. Condition There was a lack of review procedures that led to not adhering to the HEERF requirements. Context A portion of HEERF institutional grant funds was improperly used to discharge student debt and/or unpaid balances, including debt and/or unpaid balances of students that were enrolled prior to March 13, 2020. Cause Insufficient monitoring of grant rules and regulations. Effect Lost revenue was calculated using an alternative method that fit within the regulations. Questioned Cost There were no questioned costs related to this finding. Recommendation We recommend that the University closely monitor all grant requirements and ensure that there are proper review processes in place to catch any potential noncompliance. Planned Corrective Action The Fiscal Staff will review and recommend to reduce / inactivate the number of accounting classifications that are no longer used, and therefore the chart of accounts will be more streamlined. The new chart of accounts will then be deployed without the same unnecessary legacy monthly closing protocols. Existing fiscal staff will now have more bandwidth to help with monthly analysis and accounting close protocols. Implementation Date Effective date: 7/1/23 for fiscal year 2024.
