The prior finding number was 2023-003. Condition and Context The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. The School Corporation was required to submit annual data reports to the Indiana Department of Education via JotForm, a form/report builder. Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. During the prior audit period, the School Corporation submitted two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports, and two EESER III reports, for a total of six reports. The Superintendent of Schools submitted all the reports without an oversight or review process in place to prevent, detect and correct errors. As a follow up in the current audit period, it was found that this issue was not resolved. The lack of internal controls was a systematic issue throughout the audit period. . Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Erin Roach Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 765-653-3119 eroach@sputnam.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding.

MW 2025-001 SFA Cluster: R2T4 Corrective Action Plan Contact Person: Jeff Boyle, Director of Financial Corrective Action Plan: 1. Have at least two staff members enroll and complete the R2T4 training module conducted by NASFAA. Tonja Suttles and Melissa Satterwhite completed the course and passed the credential exam. Suzanne Bonner sat in on a few of the sessions. 2. Make changes to the R2T4 spreadsheet. a. Maintain a separate tab for each calculation group to make tracking and internal reviews easier. Process has been completed and started being used during the 2025 fall semester. b. Add additional columns to the spreadsheet that will provide the necessary data to perform the R2T4 calculation within Colleague and act as a check and balance as the calculation is being performed. There are several columns with calculated data or data coming from a source outside of Colleague. These data values can then be compared to the values Colleague calculates and the two should match. Columns have been added and began being used with the 2025 fall semester. 3. It will be established that one staff member will do the R2T4 calculation and a second staff member will do a spot check of a spot check to ensure the calculation was done properly using the correct data. The number of students checked will depend on the number of students within the calculation groups. The number of students in a group can range from 2 to several hundred. This process was put into practice starting with the 09/17/25 calculation group. Jeff Boyle, Director of Financial Aid, performed all the R2T4 calculations for the 2025 fall term and Tonja Suttles, Assistant Director of Financial Aid, performed 100% review of all the calculations. This will change once we are assured this process is working the way we expect it. 4. The external spreadsheets and charts used for the R2T4 calculation contain a tremendous amount of data elements and are created two years in advance of being used. A process will be established where various staff members within the office will review the data prior to our using it for the R2T4 calculation. This has been implemented as of the 2025 fall semester. All the 2025-2026 terms have been reviewed. A secondary review will be done on each term just prior to the data being used for that term’s R2T4 calculations. The data will be reviewed again at any point we determine the data may not be correct.

Finding Reference: 2025-001 Description of Finding: HUD regulations require certifications to be completed and entered timely to ensure accurate calculation of Housing Assistance Payments (HAP), Total Tenant Payment (TTP) and utility reimbursements. Per 24 CFR section 982.516, the Authority must reexamine family income and composition at least once every two years and adjust the tenant rent and housing assistance payment as necessary using the documentation from third party verification. Of the 60 Moving to Work files tested, the following items were noted: • 40 instances of certifications not completed timely • 6 instances where the file did not contain income support • 3 instances where housing quality standards inspections were not completed within the last 2 years • 1 instance in which a rent comparison was not completed for a new move in Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Louisville Metro Housing Authority agrees with Cherry Bekaert in reference to audit finding 2025-001. Corrective Action: LMHA continues to work through issues around the proper and timely processing of program certifications to support accurate Housing Assistance Payments, Total Tenant Payments and utility reimbursements. Currently, recertifications are processed on a biennial basis schedule, through a three-tiered system outlined in our updated MTW plan. This will address timeliness of recertification while also ensuring compliance and review of supporting documentation. Please note the following rules tied to LMHA’s three-tiered recertification system: 1) When the family is zero income, they will go to an annual recertification. 2) When family is working, (enrolling in KTAP (Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program), receiving Child Support, and other similar sources of income) they will go to a biennial recertification. 3) When a family has fixed income, (receiving Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and/or Pension payments), they will go to a triennial recertification. The HCV Team is also working with Yardi (ERP system) to maximize the reporting and monitoring of the recertification schedule. The manager initiates the tracking for needed processing and possible termination of participants. With the three-tiered system, staff will be able to review all tenant information closely during recertifications to ensure proper housing assistance payments. Additionally, to improve sufficient controls and internal monitoring, the HCV Team is partnering with the Compliance Team to review tenant files for errors and improper supporting documentation.

To strengthen internal controls related to R2T4 processing, the Office of Student Financial Services under the direction of the Director of Student Financial Services has taken and will continue the following actions: • Reinforce and update R2T4 procedures to clearly document regulatory timelines, roles, and responsibilities, and to include defined ongoing monitoring practices. These updated procedures incorporate periodic review of R2T4 activity to ensure continued compliance. • Enhance the existing internal tracking mechanism to support timely completion of R2T4 calculations and fund returns. This enhancement includes the ability to generate reports that identify upcoming deadlines, completed actions, and any items requiring follow-up. • Provide refresher training to staff within the Office of Student Financial Services and partner offices involved in R2T4 processing, with emphasis on compliance requirements, timelines, documentation standards, and shared accountability across offices. • Incorporate a secondary review process as part of the existing R2T4 procedure. A designated secondary reviewer within the Office of Student Financial Services will confirm the accuracy and timeliness of each R2T4 calculation and associated fund return, with completion of the review documented within the tracking system. These corrective actions will be implemented upon review and approval and will be effective beginning Spring 2026.

CFDA 10.565 Commodity Supplemental Food Program Name of Contact Person: Shelly Neeley, Program Specialist Corrective Action: Eligibility requirements regarding the Commodity Supplemental Food program (CSFP) are recognized by West Ohio Food Bank (WOFB) and WOFB continues making internal controls a top priority in the program’s operation. There are currently 1,800 applications processed through WOFB and 43 site locations for CSFP. These include those applicants on the active list and the wait list as well as those who may not qualify for the program. During the auditing process, there were 11 participants that did not have a current/updated application on file yet received a distribution. To ensure that all applications are renewed within a twelve-month period, and that the recipients without a valid application on file do not receive distributions until a valid, up-to-date application has been obtained, WOFB has begun to implement and will continue implementing the following internal control procedures. WOFB will continue to update/renew all applications each March to have all expiration dates within the same month each year. The master spreadsheet has also been updated to include parameters that will flag an upcoming expiration date. This will assist the senior sites in knowing more timely who needs a renewal application at their location. In addition, Pantry Trak/Fresh Trak is being updated and revised. I have been working closely with Mid-Ohio in revising the CSFP portion to better meet the needs of the program at WOFB. The ultimate goal is to use the Pantry Trak system to log and track all CSFP information electronically. This too will increase the accuracy of the data. As an additional audit of accuracy WOFB will conduct an internal audit monthly by randomly pulling a sampling of 3 percent (48) of the 1,600 CSFP recipients to verify the accuracy of the applications on file. Proposed Completion Date: The processes implemented will be ongoing. As the Pantry Trak program tool continues to improve its use for tracking and logging, use for CSFP will increase.
