Corrective Action Plan The Enterprise City Board of Education (the Board) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended September 30, 2022. Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC 1117 Boll Weevil Circle Enterprise, AL 36330 The finding from the September 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistent with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS- FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT No such findings in the current year. FINDINGS - FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AUDITS Item 2022-001 - Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Recommendation: 2 CFR 200.303 requires the non-Federal entity to "(a) establish and maintain effective internal controls over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award." 2 CFR 200.326 and 29 CFR Part 5, Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Governing Federally Financed and Assisted Construction (DOL Regulations) require the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). We recommend the strengthening of controls to ensure the prevailing wage rate clauses are included in the contracts and that certified payrolls are received for each week in which construction work is performed. The Chief School Financial Officer, Pam Christian, should review documentation for inclusion of the prevailing wage rate clauses in construction contracts as part of the bid process prior to expenditures being made. She should also review all invoices received from contractors and subcontractors to ensure that the certified payroll information is received for all weeks for which construction work is performed. Action Taken: Management has reviewed the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.303 and 2 CFR 200.326 relating to wage rate requirements and agrees with the recommendation. Management will communicate with all contractors and subcontractors regarding the wage rate requirements and will implement additional procedures, effective May 1, 2023, stating that the Chief School Financial Officer, Pam Christian, will review documentation for inclusion of the prevailing wage rate clauses in construction contracts as part of the bid process prior to expenditures being made. She will also review all invoices received from contractors and subcontractors to ensure that the certified payroll information is received for all weeks for which construction work is performed.
