Condition: The City does not have a documented control to perform and retain evidence of suspension and debarment verification (e.g., SAM.gov check or vendor certification) at the time of entering into covered transactions funded by federal awards. Management indicated that vendor eligibility checks are performed as part of standard operating practice; however, documentation evidencing the timing and performance of these checks was not retained. Recommendation: We recommend the City obtain certifications from vendors stating their organization is not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participation in federal assistance programs or document the procedures performed to verify the vendor is not identified as suspended or debarred on SAM.gov. Explanation of disagreement with auditing finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The City will implement a formalized control procedure to ensure compliance with federal suspension and debarment requirements. Specifically, the City will require documentation to be maintained evidencing verification that vendors are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participation in federal assistance programs. Verification will be performed through a search of the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) or through vendor certification prior to entering into covered transactions funded by federal awards. Documentation of the verification will be retained with the procurement records.

Explanation and Reasons for Disagreement: In a sample of 15 students, only 3 did not have the requested supporting documentation for removal from the Cohort. As discussed with the auditors, registrars are required to remove students who are no longer in attendance at our schools within two weeks. Students without 50% attendance cannot be included in ME counts and therefore may not remain in the Cohort. Registrars make multiple attempts to obtain the reason documentation from parents when students are no longer in attendance. However, the district does not have the authority to compel parents to provide the requested documentation. INDIANA STATE

The District acknowledges the finding regarding inaccuracies in meal counts reported for the Child Nutrition Program reimbursement claims. To address this issue, the District will strengthen internal controls over the meal count reporting and claim preparation process. The food service department will ensure that daily meal count documentation is properly maintained and reconciled to the monthly claim totals prior to submission. In addition, the Director of Business Operations will implement a formal management review process prior to submission of each monthly claim for reimbursement to the Arizona Department of Education. This review will include verification that reported meal counts agree to supporting documentation and that all reconciliations have been completed and documented. Any discrepancies identified during the review will be investigated and corrected before the claim is submitted. These procedures will provide additional oversight and help ensure the District maintains compliance with federal regulations and the reporting requirements of the Child Nutrition Program. The Director of Business Operations is responsible for implementing and monitoring this correction action, which will be completed at the end of the next fiscal year.

FINDING 2025-002 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA)- Earmarking Summary of Finding: The School Corporation is a member of the Greater Lafayette Area Special Services Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal years 2023-2024, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all of its members. 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. However, 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 nonpublic school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure nonpublic school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 22611-021-PN01, 22611-021-ARP, 22619-021- ARP, 23611-021-PN01, and 23619-021-PN01 grant awards could not be verified for the individual member schools. Total grant expenditures were posted as expended. The nonpublic proportionate share expenditures were determined by applying a percentage to the nonpublic school budgeted expenditures. As such, we were unable to identify if the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported to the IDOE as required. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were isolated to the 22611-021-PN01, 22611-021-ARP, 22619-021-ARP, 23611-021-PN01, and 23619-021-PN01 grant awards.

The GLASS 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. The methodology used by the Cooperative to monitor non-public proportionate share expenditures was based upon a percentage for each school corporation that comprises the Cooperative rather than basing the expenditures off of the grant award for each non-public school within the geographical boundaries of the school corporations. While all proportionate share funds were expended, it was problematic in determining if the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported prior to July 1, 2024. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The former Director of GLASS retired June 30, 2023. Upon hire on July 1, 2023, the new director immediately implemented measures to correct the previous methodology used at GLASS. Non-public proportionate share funds are identified and reported based upon the grant award for each school corporation. The expenditures are based upon the geographical location of the non-public school and the corresponding public school corporation, not based upon the “home” school corporation of the student. This process was implemented and descriptions were included on the ledgers to identify non-public school proportionate share for grants that were initiated during the FY 2024-2025 school year. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action was already put into place on July 1, 2023 and implemented with FY 2024-2025. The audit finding reflects the previous grant cycle for 2022 grants and 2023 grants, which is prior to this action taken.

U.S. Department of Education 2025-005: Special Tests and Provisions - NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Student Financial Aid Cluster -Assistance Listing No. 84.063, 84.268 Condition: Enrollment status changes were either not reported to NSLDS within 60 days or did not match the College's records for a portion of the sampled students. Recommendation: The institution should evaluate their procedures and policies related to reporting status changes and effective dates to NSLDS and enhance as deemed necessary to ensure that accurate information is reported to NSLDS. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding : There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The Institution acknowledges that while reporting was completed within a timely manner by HCC, NSC did not update within the time allotted to be compliant. HCC remains committed to continuous improvement and compliance. Action taken in response to finding: As noted in the prior year's response, the College committed to full implementation of corrective actions by June 30, 2026, aligned with the conclusion of the 2025-2026 academic year. The institution is currently and actively working on the corrective action plan previously submitted. Actions underway or in progress include: Formal clarification of interdepartmental roles and responsibilities, establishing the Records, Registration and Veteran's Affairs (RRVA) as the primary enrollment reporting authority, with defined review and compliance support from Financial Aid Services. Enhanced reconciliation and quality control procedures, including routine cross-checks between RRVA and Financial Aid Services records prior to each enrollment reporting submission. Standardized review protocols for program-level enrollment changes, including graduates, withdrawals, and subsequent reenrollments in different academic programs. Ongoing monitoring and documentation of NSC errors and warning reports, with timely resolution and escalation when discrepancies appear to originate outside of the College's student information systems. Targeted training for RRVA and Financial Aid staff on enrollment reporting regulations, NSLDS requirements, and audit-risk mitigation. The College believes these actions, coupled with existing reporting practices, sufficiently address the concerns raised and will further strengthen enrollment reporting accuracy and documentation. Full implementation of the corrective action plan remains on schedule for completion by June 30, 2026, as originally committed.

2025-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Federal Program Name: Child Nutrition Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 10.553, 10.555, 10.559 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: None Pass-Through Agency: Maryland State Department of Education Pass-Through Number: None Award Period: 7/1/2024 – 6/30/2025 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Recommendation: CLA recommends that the Board review its policies and procedures to ensure they include the three options for determining suspension and debarment status listed in 2 CFR 180.300 and that controls are sufficient to ensure that the suspension and debarment status is verified for all vendors prior to entering into covered transactions. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The recommendation was included in the FY2024 Single Audit Corrective Action Plan and the following course of action was described therein; The Purchasing Office had processes in place to ensure debarment status was checked before contract award. Both the contract checklist and the Qualifications Affidavit in the solicitation template contained debarment status language to ensure the necessary checks took place. Despite these processes, a contract for curriculum materials was not checked for debarment status before contract award. The cause of that oversight seems to be the different procurement processes used in instructional materials procurements. The contract was not competitively awarded, so they did not require a qualifications affidavit, which would have ensured the debarment status was checked. In this instance, a checklist was not included in the contract file as required, which would have also triggered a debarment check. In response, the Purchasing Office is adding a third layer of oversight - requiring that a revised contract affidavit is completed for every contract award. Language was added to the current contract affidavit that contains an affirmation by the contractor that they are not suspended or debarred by any government entity – local, state, and federal. To summarize, the Purchasing Office will engage one of the three processes listed below to ensure timely debarment checks are conducted on every contract, regardless of funding source. 1) Contract Checklist 2) Qualifications Affidavit 3) Contract Affidavit Contracts chosen in this FY25 sample all predate the implementation of the FY24 corrective action plan as they spanned multiple years. Debarment checks were performed for some of the contracts sampled, but the date of the printout was not legible for the audit team to review. The purchasing team will ensure that dates are legible. AACPS will continue with the process described above to ensure timely debarment checks are conducted. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Mary Jo Childs, Director of Purchasing Planned completion date for corrective action plan: For immediate implementation and ongoing.
