FINDING 2023 - 004 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not 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 to submit an annual data report to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JotForm, a form/report builder. During the audit period the School Corporation was required to submit two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports, and two ESSER III reports—a total of six reports. However, the School Corporation failed to submit all six required reports. We recommended that management of the School Corporation establish a proper system of internal controls and develop policies and procedures to ensure reports are submitted.

After the review, the Business Manager will submit the final expenditures reports. Additionally, the Business Manager and Grant Specialist have developed a shared calendar that includes all report due dates. Anticipated Completion Date: This corrective action plan was implemented beginning February 2024 and will be implemented moving forward.

Marcos Cruz Molina, Mayor Contact Person: Mr. Edgardo Pérez, Department of Management, Administration and Budget Director Phone: (787)855-2500 Original Finding Number: 2023-003 Statement of Concurrence or Non concurrence: We concur with the finding. Corrective Action: The QPR Reports for the months from January to March 2023, were completed by the previous POC Recovery Office. We understand that expenses were reported in the QPR on the date when the certification with the contractor´s invoice was received at the Secretary of Engineering and Conservation of Infrastructure and not on the date of payment or disbursement of the invoice. For example, if the invoice was received in the month of February, the expense was recorded in the QPR from January to March even though it was not paid until the month of April. We are verifying each project reported in the QPR against the amount reported at the SIMA System. We expect to have updated and correct information for all the Quarterly Progress Reports for the period from January to March 2024. Implementation Date: Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

Condition: Issues identified during our audit procedures over the SEFA and federal grant expenditure reports (SEFA project rollout). Cause: Lack of timely review and oversight of federal project expenditures, including the SEFA rollout report. In addition, the preliminary SEFA and underlying support was not timely reviewed by management after it was prepared by accounting staff. Agency Response: On a monthly basis there will be review on the expenditures to ensure that contractual expenses will be accrued. On a quarterly basis the SEFA rollout report will required to be created by the Financial Data Analyst or designee by the CFO. This report will be created by the 25th of the month after the quarter end. Once the report is created the analysis and review of expenditures to revenues will also occur. Based on the analysis, any discrepancies that are noted will be communicated with the Director of Finance. Those discrepancies will be corrected within 48 hours by the program accountants with the direction of the Director of Finance. In the event that the staff fails to make the corrections there will be disciplinary action. By the 30th of the month the report will be given to the CFO for review and approval. Responsible staff will be Lisette DeLeon, CFO, Cynthia Timm, Director of Finance, various staff, Program accountants, and Boubacar Traore, Financial Analyst. This process will begin January 2024 and be fully implemented by February 2024.

The School Corporation was required to submit an annual data report to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JotForm, a form/report builder.

The annual data reports were prepared by the Chief Financial Officer and reviewed by a second knowledgeable individual; however, this process did not allow for the prevention, or detection and correction of errors prior to submission. Due to the lack of effective internal controls, one of the six annual data reports was not supported by the School Corporation’s records. For the ESSER 1, Year 2 report, which covered the period of October 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, the School Corporation’s records did not support the data in the report.

The reports were prepared and submitted by the Director of Finance without a documented oversight or review process.

FINDING 2023-005 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: 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 an annual data report to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) 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 audit period the School Corporation submitted two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports and two ESSER III reports, for a total of six reports. The annual data reports were to be prepared and submitted by the School Principal and reviewed by the Executive Business Director; however, no evidence of this review or oversight process could be provided. As such the annual data reports were prepared and submitted to IDOE without an oversight or review process to prevent or detect and correct errors. In addition, five of the six reports submitted during the audit period were not supported by the School Corporation’s records. The following errors were identified:  The ESSER I, Year 2 report, which had an applicable reporting period of October 1, 2020 through June 30, 201, reported $534,761 in expenditures. However, actual expenditures for the applicable reporting period totaled $478,883.  The ESSER 1, Year 3 report which had an applicable reporting period of July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, reported $0 in expenditures. However, actual expenditures for the applicable reporting period totaled $243,814.67.  The ESSER II, Year 1 report, which had an applicable reporting period of July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, reported $733 in expenditures.

However, actual expenditures for the applicable reporting period totaled $1,315,208. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were systemic issues throughout the audit period. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The school corporation will revise job descriptions to clearly identify segregation of duties for Federal Fund Coordinators, employees responsible for calculating accurate disbursement reports and reimbursement requests. Detailed expenditure reports will be generated for end of year reporting with the Accounting Specialist, Accounts Payable Coordinator and the Executive Director of Business Services completing a final review process providing signatures indicating review and accuracy before filing.
