Recommendation: We recommend that the procurement policy be updated to follow current procedures or train employees to ensure policies are followed. Action Taken: Management partially agrees with the finding. Multiple quotes were received for most expenditures. An exception, as was explained previously, were items only available from a single source. Specifically, the mailboxes at SF Suites could only be refurbished by Wolfgrass. However, management does agree that the record-keeping of those quotes was not adequate and will update procedures to address this area of concern. All purchases over $10K will receive board approval. Due Date of Completion: Immediately Responsible Official: Katie Rodriguez, Accountant and Michael Bartlett, CFO

Recommendation: We recommend the Entity enhance the design of its control activities and policies and procedures should be developed to ensure physical inventories are taken at least once every two years and that they create a tool to assist in tracking and maintaining equipment purchased with federal funds. Action Taken: Management agrees with the finding. We need to create an Asset Policy manual that will address procedures for managing and recording equipment inventory. Property records must include a description of the property, program location, serial number or other identification number, source of funding for the property, who holds the title, the acquisition date, cost of property, percentage of federal participation in the project costs for the federal award under which the property was acquired, use and condition of the property as well as the ultimate disposition data including the date of disposal and sale price of the property. Physical inventory must occur at least every two years and be reconciled with the property records. The Asset Policy will also include a control system to ensure adequate safeguards to prevent loss, damage, and/or theft of the property as well as adequate maintenance procedures to keep the property in good condition. Any loss, damage and/or theft must be investigated. Proper sales procedures will also be included in the Asset Policy.

Finding No.: 2022-001 ? Special Tests Federal Agency: Department of Education Pass-through Entity: Direct Federal Program: Student Financial Assistance Cluster - Federal Direct Loan Program, Federal Pell Grant Program CFDA Number: 84.268, 84.063 Federal Award Numbers: P268K201616, P063P191616 Federal Award Year: July 1, 2021 ? June 30, 2022 Compliance Requirement: Special Tests, Enrollment Reporting Condition The College generally certifies its enrollment reports through rosters provided to the NSC. Of the sixty (60) students with enrollment changes we selected for test work, we noted the following students whose changes in enrollment status were not timely transmitted to NSLDS. For six (6) students, the College was notified of the student?s status change and the change was not timely reported to NSLDS. The College did not report the status change until 75-88 days following notification of the change in status. View of College Officials The College recognizes the importance of both timely and accurate reporting related to student status changes with respect to federal requirements. The College has been actively working to implement changes in procedure to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Corrective Action The College has updated its reporting schedule to NSLDS to reporting on a monthly basis at a minimum. The College also a manual review procedure that will help to ensure all status changes are reported timely to NSLDS. Additionally, an interdepartmental working group convened to evaluate, test and implement improvements through automation. Due to limitations with the student information system (Workday), the College continues to engage with the software vendor and other users to evaluate possible improvements and efficiencies in an effort to minimize manual processing without introducing additional compliance risks.

Finding: 2022-035 OMB agrees with this finding. The expenditures referenced in this audit finding were incurred by agencies prior to the period in which the federal funds were included in the quarterly expenditure reports for the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. Because OMB is responsible for the state reporting under this program, it is necessary to maintain some level of control over these funds. Consequently, OMB manages the funds centrally and developed a process to reimburse agencies for their eligible expenditures once expenditures were incurred and agencies requested reimbursement. As a result, reimbursement from the state?s allocation of SLFRF moneys always occurs after the agency expenditure. Funds are included in the federal report for the period in which reimbursement from the SLFRF occurs. In some cases, this results in the agency expenditure occurring in a period prior to the period covered under the quarterly SLFRF report in which the reimbursement is reported. However, until reimbursement occurs, the expenditure is charged to a funding source other than SLFRF. All expenditures reimbursed through SLFRF are included in federal reports for the period in which the reimbursement occurred. The Office of Management and Budget does not feel a corrective action plan is necessary and plans to continue federal reporting based on the timing of reimbursed expenditures for the duration of the SLFRF reporting to ensure all expenditures of SFLRF funding are accurately included in reports covering the period of reimbursement.

Finding: 2022-034 OMB agrees with this finding and the auditor?s recommendation. We agree with the auditor?s finding that certain agency expenditures were not reported in the proper quarter and that quarterly reports did not reconcile to the state accounting system. However, the federal report was required to be submitted ten days after the close of the period. The state accounting system was not closed by the time the federal reports were required to be submitted. The U.S. Department of Treasury recognized this and directed reporting agencies to correct and revise prior submissions when each subsequent report was submitted. OMB made these revisions as required and all expenditures were reported appropriately as the final Coronavirus Relief Funds reports were submitted. Although the CRF program is completed, in the future the Office of Management and Budget will review existing procedures to take whatever steps are reasonable to ensure federal reports are complete, accurate and reconcile to the state's accounting system. Contact Person: Joe Goplin, Director of State Financial Services Anticipated Completion Date: Not Applicable. The program is complete.

Department of Public Instruction Finding: 2022-022 Department of Public Instruction Response/Corrective Action Plan: We agree with the finding. Currently, USDA and DOE sub-awards are reported after the obligation or sub-award has been approved by all parties according to the requirements established by FSRS?s website. The Block Award, or the federal award which reimburses for meals claimed, will be reported after the meals have been claimed in NDFoods and paid in Peoplesoft. NDDPI will report the payments already made for FY 2023 and will work with our NDIT programmers to allow us to create an auto-generated report from NDFoods that will upload into the FSRS website according to FSRS?s template. To enter expenditure data by month in FSRS, Awardees are encouraged to complete a template to upload the required data. Unfortunately, NDDPI is aware of an issue with this template caused by the need for a 4-digit extension number. The lack of 4-digit zip code extensions with our rural sub-recipients is responsible for throwing this error in the upload. To complete a successful upload, NDDPI will omit any sub-recipients missing the 4-digit zip code extension from the monthly data or template and add them to the report with a manual entry on the website. The Director of CN and the CN Technology Coordinator will work with NDIT to program the needed reports from NDFoods. The Administrative Officer and the Account/Budget Specialist from the Fiscal Management office will be responsible for completing the upload and entering any manual data. After we have a defined set of steps to follow, we will create a written process and edit as needed. Contact Person Linda Schloer, Director, Child Nutrition and Food Distribution Programs Scott Egge, Technology Coordinator, Child Nutrition Kim Vega, Administrative Officer III, Fiscal Management Leon Rauser, Account/Budget Specialist, Fiscal Management Anticipated Completion Date Begin manual process procedure, 04/01/2023, enter sub-recipient data monthly from October 2022 forward until an automated process can be obtained. Autogenerated process date is uncertain, NDDPI will work with NDIT to establish an automated process as soon as IT?s schedule allows and testing is completed.
