Management accepts the finding and notes that the prior year finding was not reported until near the end of the current audit period, contributing to the repeat finding. Effective in June 2022, payroll authorizations were directed through the PeopleSoft system to the Payroll Manager who prepared and documented the necessary allocation calculation. This calculation, along with a copy of the original payroll authorization for the employee and the superseding payroll authorization were sent to the Associate Controller for review and verification. This secondary review was marked approved and returned to the Payroll Manager for final entry in the payroll system and records archiving. Further, a campus committee with representatives from the offices of; Controller, Information Technology, Sponsored Research Services, Payroll and Academic Affairs Operations was formed to further review and address this prior year finding. The Committee has developed a form within PeopleSoft that will allow for entering payroll authorization data, system calculation of applicable fringe adjustments, and a system driven workflow review and approval process from initial entry by the Principal Investigator to approval by Sponsored Research Services to the approval by either the Research Accountant or the Associate Controller for posting of all prior period reallocations. Any adjustments affecting future periods will be processed through the existing payroll authorization process and system entered by the Payroll Office. System testing of this reallocation process is currently taking place with implementation scheduled for April 1, 2023. A further enhancement of automating the related journal entry posting upon final approval by the Research Accountant or Associate Controller is expected to be implemented by May 1, 2023. InAnticipated Completion Date June 30, 2023 Responsible Person Keith Rosser, Controller William McGarry, Chief Financial Officer light of the repeat finding, the University will further engage an outside firm to conduct an internal audit of the Payroll Department with a focus on reviewing current processes from employee set up through issuance of compensation and filing of state and federal forms. This expected outcome of this review will be to identify areas of potential weakness, process improvement, and current utilization of existing financial systems and tools.

Finding 2022-003: Inadequate Support for Salaries and Wages-Time Certifications not maintained (5000) Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Pass through Entity: California Department of Education Program Names: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief I, II, III (ESSER, ESSER II, ESSER III) (Assistance Listing 84.425, C, D, U), Title I (Assistance Listing 84.010) Criteria: 2 CFR 200.430 requires that an LEA must maintain time and effort distribution records that support the distribution of the employee?s salary or wages among specific activities or cost objectives. 2 CFR, section 225, appendix B, Section 8(h) states in part: Support of salaries and wages- These standards regarding time distribution are in addition to the standards for payroll documentation. (1) Charges to Federal awards for salaries and wages, whether treated as direct or indirect costs, will be based on payrolls documented in accordance with the generally accepted practice of the governmental unit and approved by a responsible official(s) of the governmental unit. (2) No further documentation is required for salaries and wages of employees who work in a single indirect cost activity. (3) Where employees are expected to work solely on a single Federal award or cost objective, charges for their salaries and wages will be supported by periodic certifications that the employee worked solely on that program for the period covered by the certification. These certifications will be prepared at least semi-annually and will be signed by the employee or supervisory official having first-hand knowledge of the work performed by the employee. CSAM Procedure 905 states, in part: Periodic (Semiannual) Certification Employees who work solely on a single federal award or cost objective need only complete a periodic certification. The periodic certification must: Be prepared at least semi-annually. Be signed by the employee or the supervisory official having firsthand knowledge of the work performed by the employee. State the employee worked solely on that single federal program or cost objective during the period covered by the certification. Where multiple employees work on the same cost objective, a blanket certification may be used as the documentation for all employees who worked on the cost objective?. Personnel Activity Report Except as provided in ?Substitute Systems for Time Accounting,? employees who work on multiple activities or cost objectives of which at least one is federal must complete a personnel activity report (PAR) or equivalent documentation. A PAR may be as detailed as a document that identifies the employee?s activity daily by hours, or it may be as simple as a report of the total hours or percentage of hours spent in each categorical program or cost objective. The level of detail can generally be determined by the diversity and variation of the employee?s work activities. The safest approach is to provide more documentation rather than less. Finding: The District provided approved time sheets for only 3 employees out of 20 selected that were paid from ESSER funding. The District provided 9 of 10-time accounting records that included PARS for Title I. Cause: The District does not have adequate controls in place to ensure that time certification documentation is prepared and maintained to support all employees who are paid with federal funds. Effect: The District did not provide time certification records for 17 of the 20 employees selected for review, who were paid with Education Stabilization Funds. As a result, the amount of $736,116.27 is in question. The District did not provide time certification records for 1 of 8 employees selected for review, who was paid with Title I funds, as a result, the amount of $ 91,794, is in question. Recommendation: We recommend the District comply with Title 2, CFR 200.303, and CSAM Procedure 905 which require that employee time certification forms be maintained for employees who charge time to federal programs. Action: Management will ensure that the District does have adequate controls in place and comply with Federal rules and guidelines. Completion Date: Effective immediately.

Education Stabilization Fund. Context: During our audit procedures, we noted that in fiscal year 2021, the School Corporation had drawn down $108,445 more in ESSER II funds than what they had expended. The School Corporation received $297,500 of ESSER II funds during fiscal year 2021, but had only disbursed $189,055. The School Corporation spent $107,361 of the remaining funds during fiscal year 2022 and had an ending balance of $1,084 as of June 30, 2022. The ESSER II grant is a cost reimbursement grant and therefore, the School Corporation should not have drawn down these funds prior to the expenses being incurred. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Superintendent and/or the Superintendent?s designees will not request funds from reimbursable grants before expenditures have been made by the corporation.

During fiscal year 2021-2022, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all its member schools. As the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the school corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. There was inadequate oversight performed by the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with the Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking compliance requirement. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the earmarking requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for non-public school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure non-public school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. Context: The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 20611-001-PN01 grant award could not be verified for the individual member schools. Total non-public expenditures were posted as expended. The member school proportionate share expenditures were then determined by applying a budgeted percentage to the total non-public expenditures. These were the amounts reported to IDOE. As such, we were unable to identify if the minimum amount per member school was expended and properly reported to IDOE as required. The School Corporation?s Non-Public Proportionate Share for the 20611-001-PN01 grant application was $10,523. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Co-ops cannot combine proportionate share funds. Funds must be spent within each LEA?s geographic boundary. We will not receive a repeat finding for FY21. We will correct for FY22 and forward. Time & Effort Logs are being completed to show how many hours personnel are servicing Non-Pub school students with a service plan. If materials and Equipment are purchased for a specific student?s need, per the service plan, then those expenditures are 100% school specific. Per the DOE, Materials used by our Speech Language Pathologist for Speech Therapy for all six school corporations, those expenditures are split evenly across all school corporations with a non-pub proportionate share allocation. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Adams-Wells Special Services Cooperative is the responsible party for the timeline completion. No later than January 2023, the Cooperative will have corrected proportionate share monitoring workbooks for FY22 and the ARP grants.
