Federal Agency Name: Department of Agriculture Program Name: Communities Facilities Loans and Grants Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing: #10.766 Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: The Hospital must establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the Hospital is managing the federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations and terms and conditions of the federal award. 2 CFR 200.327 and 2 CFR 200.328 require the auditee to collect financial information and monitor its activities under federal awards to assure compliance with applicable federal requirements and performance expectations are being achieved and report these items in accordance with program requirements. Terms and conditions of the federal award require the Hospital to maintain a debt service reserve fund as bookkeeping accounts or as separate bank accounts. Condition: Funds that represented the debt service reserve fund were commingled with an existing operating cash account. Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the funding and will deposit the required debt service reserve funds in either a separate bank account or general ledger account.

Responsible Individuals: Valarie Howard, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Action Plan: Historically, the indirect cost received by this grant has not been dependent of the direct expenditures. Based on verbal conversations with the HRSA grant project manager, requesting reimbursement for the indirect costs evenly over the year based on the budget submitted was acceptable. Therefore, the accounting treatment has been reflective of that. However, management agrees that recording the indirect cost based on the direct cost expenditures monthly is reasonable and appropriate and will make the change accordingly.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Charter Schools – AL #84.282 Education Stabilization Fund – AL #84.425C, 84.425D & 84.425U 2024-001 Risk Assessment Process Related to Compliance Requirements (Repeat Finding 2023-001) Material Weakness Recommendation: The Auditor recommended additional resources be allocated to federal award compliance to review federal award provisions and requirements, evaluate risks of noncompliance, and respond to such risks through internal controls. The process should include methods to identify and communicate changes to federal award requirements to all key individuals within the Organization and to verify internal controls are implemented correctly and are operating effectively. Planned Corrective Action: As the organization has grown and certain federal funding streams have ended, compliance of federal programs has become decentralized. Budget constraints have led to changes in leadership in key positions and limitations in staffing. We agree that additional resources need to be added to ensure compliance with all state and federal awards. Michelle Krauter, VP, Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for ensuring fiscal compliance and will coordinate program compliance activities with the Heads of School at each campus and the Directors of Academic Accountability. Through the monitoring activities conducted by the Indiana Department of Education during 2023, staff gained a better understanding the compliance requirements and are implementing processes to ensure ongoing adherence to the requirements. Evaluation of these processes will continue through 2025.

This incident was isolated and not recurring. The grant for which this finding is associated was a temporary covid grant that has since ended. To prevent future errors for occurring, all new contracts will be reviewed prior to submitting the summary of federal awards to the auditor to ensure that any federally sourced funding is properly identified regardless of grantor.

2024-023 Oregon Department of Human Services Strengthen controls over program expenditures Management Response: We agree with this recommendation. Department management acknowledges the finding and has already initiated actions to address the concerns. Quarterly collaboration meetings including TANF and TADVS policy, business security unit, business operations, and office of financial services began in July 2024. Issues and resolutions are discussed during these quarterly meetings; as a result, guidance for staff has been developed, and regular internal audits take place throughout the year. Business operations team in partnership with TANF policy will send out communication reminding staff of the process when a check is reported as lost, and the steps that must happen prior to a replacement check being issued. In addition, policy and business operations will attend meetings with those who have a leadership role in the system to approve payments and share the transmittal along with a discussion on ways to mitigate duplicate payments in the future. Child Welfare reviewed and corrected the transaction identified in this audit. Although the SPOTS card was reimbursed on July 21, 2023, the request in OR-Kids was not canceled on that day causing the transaction to hit the SFMA. During the audit, the error was discovered and Federal Policy and Resources worked with Office of Financial Services (OFS) to correct the reimbursement on February 26, 2025. The transaction was canceled in the OR-Kids system through financial cycle on February 26, 2025. OFS entered the correction in SFMA to reflect the reduction to TANF funding, which processed through OR-Kids on February 27, 2025, and interfaced to SFMA on the evening of February 27, 2025.

The State of Oregon has implemented a structured approach to address this concern. Since January 2025, the Oregon Eligibility Partnership (OEP) has updated and developed six eligibility guides aimed at improving, understanding, and execution of processes related to TANF enrollment, including asset pursuit and IEVS checks. These guides are now available as part of the training curriculum for eligibility workers. Additionally, the "Verification Take Time for Training" (TT4T) module, which was last presented in October 2022, will be reviewed by the OEP to assess potential gaps or outdated information. Any necessary updates will be incorporated by July 2025 to ensure comprehensive training is available to all eligibility workers. Finally, OEP will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the updated training materials and guides through ongoing reviews, feedback collection from eligibility workers, and periodic review and refreshing of the materials.

2024-038 Oregon Business Development Department Implement controls over reporting Management Response: We agree with this recommendation. The submission of the quarterly financial reports by Business Oregon to DAS CFRT is on-going and within the submission deadline of DAS CFRT staff. When preparing for the quarterly financial report, the accounting/financial data has been prepared by our accountant and reviewed by Business Oregon’s accounting manager. The data is then submitted to program staff to complete the programmatic narrative and other performance-related information to further explain or describe the transactions for the reporting period, and then program staff submits the quarterly report to DAS CFRT. Going forward, to ensure reports submitted to DAS CFRT match with accounting records, management will make procedure changes by routing the report back to the accounting team for final review of financial data after program has entered their part of the report before sending to DAS CFRT. We will implement this process change effective immediately for the quarterly report ending March 2025. For the cumulative variance of $1.6 million, Business Oregon will conduct research to determine the cause of the variance. The under-reporting of expenses on the quarterly report ending June 2024 could be the result of data provided to DAS in mid-July 2024, to meet DAS CFRT reporting deadline, when the fiscal month of June 2024 was not officially closed until early August 2024. While the fiscal year-end process was still on-going through August 2024, the month of June is still open for accrual entries or adjustments, resulting to more expenditures in accounting records than what was reported to DAS in July. Business Oregon will perform reconciliation of data from 2020 to March 2025 to true up the expenditures reported in the accounting records and the reports submitted to DAS CFRT.
