Finding Number: 2024-001 Finding Title: Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Program: 93.778 Medical Assistance Program Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Jennifer Bakkelund, Fiscal & Support Services Supervisor Corrective Action Planned: Due to overlap of when we found the errors from 2023 and the corrections of those in 2024, this triggered other areas we knew would have to change in 2024. This included more movement in personnel expenses for programs not considered under federal financial participation. These programs were all removed from the Family Services budget by January 1, 2025. The corrections to our internal systems were corrected in 2025. Chippewa County staff will connect with DHS to review the corrections made in our system as it pertains to the quarterly reports and will adjust as they instruct. For the Administrative split being used each year, we will use the A87 Report to determine the rate. It will be shared with the Payroll department, the County Auditor/Treasurer’s department and Family Services accounting staff prior to the start of the year or prior to any mid-year change. More oversight will be given to placement of “Other” charges that are paid in County systems and to make sure placement of those are correct in the quarterly reports.

During our testing, we found that the Organization provided documentation showing that the vendors used in the federal program were not listed as suspended or debarred according to the Sam.gov website, in line with their internal control procedures. However, there was no documentation indicating that the verification was performed prior to entering the transactions. Recommendation: The Organization should establish and enforce controls to verify that vendors are not suspended or debarred prior to entering any transactions and maintain this documentation. This measure ensures the integrity of the procurement process and mitigates risks associated with engaging disqualified vendors. In 2024, the threshold amount for suspension and debarment checks was $25,000. Transactions equal to or exceeding this amount required verification to confirm that the entity involved was not debarred or suspended. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Organization will implement a process to screen vendors to ensure compliance with applicable regulations. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: the planned corrective action will be completed by August 2025.

FINDING 2024-001 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Suspension and Debarment Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: County Commissioners & Auditor Jill Landrum Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 260-358-4805; jill.landrum@huntington.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: While the Auditor implemented a procedure for verifying that persons and entities related to contracts or covered transactions were not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded, she concurs with Finding 2024-001, in that no internal control procedure was documented that a second person had reviewed the procedure to ensure compliance with the requirements. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Auditor will work with the Commissioner’s Office Manager Gretchen Lenfestey to discuss changes needed for the previous policy implemented. The new County Attorney has already addressed the need to include Suspension and Debarment language in the contracts that the County signs. If the language is not included, the contractors/vendors will be asked to sign a statement that they have not been suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participating in federal programs. Prior to the Commissioners signing a contract, their Office Manager will be responsible for verifying that each contract contains the Suspension and Debarment language, or that the County has a statement on file from the Contractor/Vendor that they have not been suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded. The Office Manager will maintain an annual list of all County contracts and will verify with his/her initials that the Suspension and Debarment language is contained in the contract or that there was a separate statement obtained. The Office Manager will send a copy of all signed contracts and signed statements to the Auditor and the Accounts Deputy. On a monthly basis, the Commissioner’s Office Manager will also e-mail an updated list of contracts indicating the documents verified, so the Auditor’s office can verify their records. The Auditor’s Accounts Payable (AP) Deputy will also generate a report from the Financial Software each January to create a list of vendors that were paid more than $25,000 in the previous year. A letter will be mailed requesting the Vendor’s signature on a Suspension and Debarment Certification. They will be asked to return the certification form to the Auditor’s Office by e-mail or mail within 30 days. The AP Deputy will be responsible for keeping a file of the forms received and updating the list with his/her initials. After the 30-day timeframe passes, the Accounts Deputy will double-check the received forms against the mailing list and initial that he/she has verified. The Accounts Deputy, or the Auditor’s designee will conduct a search for exclusions on the Sam.gov website for all vendors that did not return a certification form. A copy of the sam.gov verification will be saved, and the vendor list will be updated & initialed. The Accounts Payable Deputy will double check the verifications to make sure all vendors have either provided a signed certification or that a sam.gov verification was obtained.

Federal Awards Finding 2024-002: Suspension and Debarment Finding: The City receives State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) from the U.S. Treasury as outlined in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). In 2024, the City originally planned to utilize the ‘revenue replacement’ provision in ARPA and did not interpret the guidance at that time to require the check for suspension and debarment but rather thought that revenue replacement provision would require the City only to conduct “business as usual” regarding purchasing, acquisitions and contracts. However, after the first single audit was completed and new guidance was released by the treasury, it was determined that this requirement was needed and as all the contracts and purchases had been entered into or were at a stage where they could not be checked prior to award it was determined that prior to submitting any expenses to the treasury, each quarter that suspension and debarment checks would be done on any vendors/contracts with a purchase or contract greater than $25,000. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: As there is no opportunity to correct this since all contracts are already in place for the ARPA SLFRF, we will continue to check for suspension and debarment each quarter before submitting the expenses to the Treasury and will not submit any expenses related to vendors or contractors that are suspended or debarred. We will implement a review by the controller to make sure that the suspension and debarment check is being done quarterly and will document such review. All other contracts and awards related to federal funds will continue to have the suspension and debarment check performed by the contracts and purchasing department before issuance of the contract or award.

Federal Agency Name: Department of Treasury Pass-Through Entity: State of Iowa Department of Management Federal Financial Assistance Listing #21.029 Program Name: Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund Finding Summary: Testing of the federal program identified the following • The Cooperative’s formally documented procurement policy was missing one required element as it relates to the methods of procurement. • One instance where the Cooperative followed a bid process, however, the documentation was not retained to support the selection. Additionally, the contract with the vendor was missing required contract provisions in accordance with Uniform Guidance • One instance where the Cooperative did not follow the procurement process as detailed in the procurement policy and did not have any formal documentation or contract in place with the vendor. • Two instances where the Cooperative entered into a contract with a vendor over $25,000 and there was no review performed to ensure the vendor was not suspended or debarred. Corrective Action Plan: The Cooperative has taken several steps to remedy the findings of the 2024 single audit: • In April 2025, the Board of Directors approved a revised procurement policy that includes the missing method of procurement. • Existing contracts have been amended to include required contract provision in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Any new contract will include those provisions. • All current contractors have been reviewed to ensure the vendors are not suspended or debarred. All searches have been printed and retained. Any new contractors will be reviewed prior to their selection as a vendor. • The reasoning for utilizing single-source vendors has been formally documented and signed off on by management. • All bid processes are now formally documented, including cost comparisons between vendors.

If another staff member prepares or adjusts the report (e.g., due to leave), they will also document and save evidence of approval in the designated quarterly report file. Moving forward, the City will consistently retain documented approvals as part of the reporting process. Planned Completion Date: These modifications are being implemented immediately.
