2022-003 Procurement, Suspension, and Debarment Recommendation: We recommend the program staff and ASD staff responsible for procuring contracts review federal compliance requirements to ensure appropriate language is included in all agreements. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Although the Agency?s Certified Procurement Officer (CPO) later verified that all agreements did contain the required ?Suspension and Debarment? language, it was too late to test in time to submit the audit on time. The various departments of ECECD will use this finding to ensure that designated ASD and Program staff fully understand the importance of providing complete and accurate information to the auditors. In addition, ECECD ASD will work toward improving communication regarding potential audit findings to the appropriate program staff, allowing for enough time to address the potential finding and possibly avoid a finding altogether.

Additionally, we recommend the Department review the Federal Regulations to ensure the required elements are included in the subaward agreements. In general, the Department could benefit from improved processes over identification of entities at subrecipients or contractors and related tracking/monitoring of those entities identified as subrecipients. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: To ensure this does not occur again, the Family Support and Early Intervention Division (FSEI) Director and Deputy Director will implement procedures for program managers to ensure adequate compliance with required monitoring of its subrecipients, including review of financial reporting provided by its subrecipients. The FSEI Director and Deputy Director will ensure that program staff are adequately trained on subrecipient monitoring. The FSEI Director and Deputy Director will work with the Administrative Services Division (ASD) Director, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Grants Manager to verify subrecipient status and to ensure required elements are included in subaward agreements. Furthermore, the FSEI Director and Deputy Director will implement an internal review process to ensure program and financial monitoring is aligned and involves a third level of review by ASD Director, CFO and Grants Manager and other program personnel.

Morrow County School District #1 respectfully submits the following corrective action plan in response to deficiencies reported in our audit of fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. The audit was completed by the independent auditing firm Dickey and Tremper, LLP and reported the deficiencies listed below. US DEPARTMENT Of EDUCATION Education Stabilization Fund (ESF)- Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund CFDA# 84.425D Significant Deficiency #2022-004 Auditor Discussion and Recommendation: Condition and criteria: The District should have control processes in place to ensure that monitoring procedures are in place for large contracts. The District contracted work for the engineering and design of HVAC improvements. For 2 of 3 invoices, payments were made from summary invoices rather than from application and certification of payment. We also did not locate a specific contract for the project, just a proposal. When the application and certification of payments were received, there were errors and changes requiring final reconciliation and accruals. Cause: There were changes in personnel at the District during the year and the ESSER grant is fairly new to the District. In addition, the invoices from the contractor did not initially contain all of the required information. Context and effect: We reviewed 100% of the invoices for the project and $38,324 was accrued as a year end liability and additional expense when the final contractor billing was received. This affected both grant revenue and expenses and led to adjustments on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Auditor?s recommendation: We recommend enhanced monitoring procedures for large contracts and that application and certification for payment be reviewed and approved by an official with knowledge of the project and status before payment is issued. We also recommend contracts containing language applicable to Federal programs be prepared for all large projects. Management?s Plan of Action: Individuals Involved: Matt Combe, Superintendent/Management Gabriel Hansen, Chief Financial Officer/Business Manager Brandi Sweeney, Maintenance Coordinator Plan: Management has assigned the Business manager review of contract request for payment prior to payment and also for the cutoff date for reporting. The Business manager will request from contractors any information needed to properly allocate payment to proper periods prior to payments being issued. Team meeting will be held to discuss the progress of projects for the district to keep all responsible properly informed. Time Frame: Re-establish payment procedures on contracts completed by January 3, 2023. Process of team meetings to discuss projects progress completed by January 3, 2023.

US DEPARTMENT Of EDUCATION Education Stabilization Fund (ESF)- Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund CFDA# 84.425D Material Weakness #2022-003 Auditor Discussion and Recommendation: Condition and criteria: The District should have control processes in place to ensure that allowable projects subject to prevailing wage requirements are performed under those requirements. There was one project that was subject to Federal prevailing wage requirements but did not get performed or documented for those requirements. Cause: The District did not have policies and procedures set up to monitor the prevailing wage requirements. Context and effect: The District has few capital projects funded by grant dollars, but there was one project for security improvements that fell under Federal prevailing wage guidelines. The proposal from the contractor said it included prevailing wage rates, but there was not an official contract found that would detail the prevailing wage requirements and we were unable to locate copies of certified payrolls indicating the District was not monitoring this requirement. The total cost of the project was $133,878 and included costs for the equipment and installation of the security enhancements. Auditor?s recommendation: We recommend the District update their policies and procedures to identify and monitor projects with Federal prevailing wage requirements. We also recommend contracts containing language applicable to Federal programs be prepared for all large projects. Management?s Plan of Action: Individuals Involved: Matt Combe, Superintendent/Management Gabriel Hansen, Chief Financial Officer/Business Manager Brandi Sweeney, Maintenance Coordinator Plan: The district will include in contracts language requesting the proper documentation of compliance with prevailing wage on contract using Federal programs. To monitor this requirement the district will request from contractors prevailing wage certifications if they are not received timely. Time Frame: Implement in contracts language stating request for documentation of compliance with prevailing wage laws completed by January 3, 2023 Implement review of certified payroll documents and request from contractors when not received completed by January 3, 2023.

We agree with the auditor?s findings that our internal control structure was inadequate to ensure compliance with wage rate requirements. The following internal control processes have been implemented effective immediately. 1. Identify public works projects and other contracts that require compliance with federal wage rate requirements through regular communication with District administrators and maintenance/operations management staff. 2. Complete and enhance the Districts contracts checklists for agreements entered into with contractors, agencies or purchasing cooperatives for the contraction of public works projects. 3. Consult with ESD, OSPI, and SAO to assure proper and complete terms are included in agreement documentation. 4. Collect and review weekly Certified Payroll Reports from contractors and subcontractors upon commencement of applicable projects until completion. 5. Confirmation of receipt and review of Certified Payroll Reports shall be verified prior to vendor payments. A contributing factor to this internal control weakness was turnover in key compliance positions during the time the contracts were being processed and construction was commencing.

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.? Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: N/A

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
