Finding 2022-001 CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN OF CURRENT AUDIT FINDINGS June 30, 2022 Dr. Darrel L. Bobe Superintendent Terri L. Roesler Treasurer Debbie Utt Payroll/Personnel Ethan Singleton Technology Coordinator Kevin Curtis Director of Buildings & Grounds Information on the federal program: Subject: Education Stabilization Fund ? Internal Controls Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: COVID-19 ? Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425C, 84.425D, 84.425U Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Reporting Audit Finding: Significant Deficiency Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirements. Context: The School Corporation was required to submit two Annual Data Reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) to meet federal reporting requirements for ESSER grant awards and the GEER grant award. The first report was for the period of March 13, 2020 to September 30, 2020 and was due by January 21, 2021. The second report was for the period of October 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 and was due by May 13, 2022. We noted for both reports that were submitted, there was no documented review by someone other than the preparer of the report to ensure the information submitted was complete and accurate. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and will take the following correction action: The treasurer will ensure that a second individual reviews and signs all future data reports prior to their submission. Responsible party and timeline for completion: Terri Roesler, Treasurer, will oversee the correction action plan. Correction action started immediately after it was brought to our attention during the audit process.

Unallowable Costs Planned Corrective Action: This finding occurred due to the fact that hours entered on a form-stack form by several contractors on our Community Navigator Program with the SBA were charged to the SBA before invoices were received from the contractor for those hours. This led to payment being received prior to the contractor being paid. Although this was officially approved by the SBA prior to submitting the quarterly bill for our services under the contract, we recognize that this is not how it should be done according to government and accounting rules. Thus, we will undertake the following corrective action to ensure that this does not occur again. 1. We will ensure that invoices for these identified charges are received from the contractors and the contractors are paid the full amount owed. 2. We will ensure that reimbursable expenses are not charged on government contracts and grants until they are actually paid or spent. This does not include expenses that are allowed by contract to be billed in advance. 3. Both the lead accounting person and the Compliance Officer will review and authorize all charges for allowability on all programs prior to submission of a request for payment. 4. A periodic review of the process and process adherence will be conducted by the finance committee of the Board of Directors. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Jamie Thomas, Compliance Officer Anticipated Date of Completion: October 15, 2023

Contact Person Kirk Geadelmann, Finance Corrective Action Plan We are in the process of updating the Center?s written policies and procedures to include the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Completion Date Fiscal year end 2023

Corrective action plan: ? For Source Data, the program has developed policies and procedures to document source data. ? For Cumulative Calculations, auditors specifically requested from TDHCA reports submitted to the Treasury from different periods to specifically be able to calculate cumulative figures for obligations and expenditures. TDHCA explained that the methodology the Treasury has requested for grantees to use will not allow the quarterly obligations and expenditures reported to be summed to equal the current cumulative amount due to adjustments for recaptured funds. This is an unavoidable reality of the Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program and federal reporting system and can only be rectified in the final report to Treasury. Certain aspects of the Treasury?s design of the program, most significantly the recapture of funds from beneficiaries, can cause the draw/transaction data for a given period, e.g. Q3 2022, to change after that quarter is complete. Per Treasury guidance, TDHCA will be able to resubmit expenditure and obligation figures for each quarter in the final report. For the December 2021 ERA 1 Monthly Compliance Report and November 2021 ERA 2 Monthly Compliance Report, the total number of households served were off by 0.4% and 0.05% due to inadvertently including households who were initially served but later had all of the funds recaptured and therefore should have been excluded. TDHCA has updated internal procedures for calculating these reports to ensure these are excluded from future reports. Implementation date(s): Implemented as of February 8, 2023 Responsible persons: David Johnson, Project Manager ? Process Mgmt. /Data Analytics
