Finding ref number: 2022-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls in place to ensure accurate reporting of its Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Leslie Oliver, ESD Business Manager, PO Box 367, Keller WA 99140 (509) 725-1481 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The District recognizes and acknowledges deficiencies and errors by the District and its financial management contractor in collecting and reporting data pursuant to its Impact Aid application to the Federal Department of Education. While it has not been possible to identify how these originated, they appear to have been in place for a number of years, perhaps more than a decade, related to Washington State?s broad school choice policies and, not identified in previous audits by either Federal or State agencies. Regardless, the District has satisfactorily resolved outstanding data collection and reporting issues with the Department and has put in place administrative controls via training and oversight to comply with requirements. In the past ten months since the deficiencies were identified, the District has taken the following steps to address those and to come into compliance. The District Superintendent, District Secretary and Chair of the School Board were tasked with communicating and negotiating with Department officials. In a series of Zoom meetings, trainings and phone calls, the District team was made aware of the deficiencies, provided with guidance of strategies to correct those and with guidance on addressing the effects of Washington State?s school choice policies on Impact Aid. As a result of that guidance, the District corrected its data collection and validation methodology, proposed and negotiated tuition agreements with three adjoining Districts, proposed and negotiated repayment agreements with those Districts and the Department. Future data collection and validation will be reviewed by the District?s financial management contractor, Education Service District 101. District administration and Board will send representatives to attend the annual conference of the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools in Washington, DC, and to meet with Department staff to review the application and its data. The District will take part in any relevant training opportunities offered by the Department or by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: immediate action in 2023

Information on Federal Programs: U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition Cluster (COVID-19 National School Lunch Program and COVID-19 School Breakfast Program and Food Distribution, Federal Assistance Listing No. 0.553 and 10.555) passed through the New York State Education Department. Findings and questioned costs related to Federal awards which are required to be reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.516(a): Criteria: CFR Section 200.318 stipulates that a non -Federal entity must use its own documented procurement procedures which reflect applicable state, local, and tribal laws, and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable Federal law and the standards identified in Part 200 Subpart D. Additionally, 2 CFR Section 200.213 stipulates that no awards, subawards, or contracts be awarded to parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities. Statement of Condition: During our discussions with management and testing of the major program, we noted that the District is not verifying the eligibility of vendors to participate in Federal assistance programs. Statement of Cause: The District did not review compliance requirements related to procurement outlined in 2 CFR Section 200.318 and Section 200.213. Statement of Effect: The District is not in compliance with 2 CFR Section 200.213. The District is not performing required procedures, as a result, vendors that are not eligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities could be selected or the District could be overpaying for goods and services. Questioned Cost: None. Repeat Finding: No Perspective Information: As part of testing of compliance over procurement, a selection of vendors charged to the major program was selected for testing of compliance. Of the District?s vendors charged to the program, none were suspended or debarred from participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. Recommendation: We recommend that the District review the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.213 and ensure that a review of the eligibility of potential vendors to participate in Federal assistance programs or activities is performed prior to disbursing funds to the vendor. Views of the Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The District has reviewed the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.213. The District is in agreement with the recommendation to implement a procedure to document the process used to verify the eligibility of potential vendors to participate in Federal assistance programs. The verification of excluded parties will be accomplished by accessing the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) website and selecting the ?Excluded Entity? filter on the ?Exclusions? search page to search for exclusions by Unique Entity ID or CAGE/NCAGE code as follows: 1) Select ?Search? from the header menu from any page on SAM.gov 2) In the filters, under ?Select Domain?, select ?Entity Information?, then select Exclusions 3) Use the filters or keyword box to enter the search criteria and view the results 4) Document the results in the vendor file. Other alternatives for verification may include collecting a certification from the entity or adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction or contract with that entity. The Purchasing Agent is charged with the responsibility of monitoring and ensuring compliance with the suspension and debarment procedures and maintaining documentation that contracts expected to equal or exceed $25,000 have been verified on the System for Award Management (SAM) website before purchases are made. Responsible Person(s): Kristin Chotkowski, Purchasing Agent Deadline for Completion: On or before 4/1/23 for covered transactions with contracts or purchase orders meeting the threshold during the time period 7/1/22 - 1/31/23. Prior to contract approval or purchase order issuance for contracts or purchase orders meeting the threshold on or after 2/1/23.

FINDING 2022-004 The 2022 97.024 Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program grant funding was received during a crisis resulting in a unique situation for the City of Chicago. The funding was provided before the federal government set up an award identifier (i.e., ALN/CFDA, CSFA), resulting in the Delegate Agency contract with the Department of Family Support Services (DFSS) containing only the name of the Grant. To address and prevent such issues in the future, the City's Office of Budget and Management (OBM) will run a Comprehensive Report quarterly to identify any placeholder award identifiers during funding setup. The Grants Management Unit within OBM will collaborate closely with the Department of Finance (DOF) to ensure the federal award identifiers are promptly updated in the financial system. Moreover, to ensure accuracy and compliance, the Grants Management Unit will work with the relevant contracting Department to update contracts with Delegate Agencies. This measure will guarantee that all necessary award identifiers are included, streamlining the funding process and ensuring proper tracking and reporting of federal grants. Assistant Budget Director Belczak at the Office of Budget and Management will be responsible for ensuring that this corrective action plan is implemented by the beginning of the fourth quarter in October 2023.

Person Responsible: Irene Math, Chief Financial Officer, Rajendra Mangal Director of Planning Comment: The Agency?s current policies and procedure on the preparation of the SEFA were not detailed enough to ensure all finds were identified as ether non-Federal, Federal or pass-through Federal awards, which resulted in the SEFA provided to the auditors to not accurately reflect certain Federal expenditures and Assistance Listing information. Response: WJCS understands its responsibility for complying with Single Audit requirements and acknowledges the importance of having appropriate internal controls which ensure completeness and accuracy of the Schedule or Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). WJCS has reviewed the current procedures and is in the process of implementing proper grant intake for new grants. Reconciliation to related financial statement information and internal review and approval is in the process of being documented. Proper agency grant intake procedures will allow WJCS to easily determine the nature of the source of the grant, and any of the pertinent information which needs to be presented on the SEFA, including Assistance Listing, ratio of Federal funding and amount of pass-through Federal expenses. WJCS will utilize AICPA Auditee Practice Aids as a guide to revising existing procedures. Estimated Completion Date: Reporting Period Ending June 30, 2023
