Finding Number 2025-205: The Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) used in fiscal year 2025 was not approved by the RSA as required and contained multiple errors. Federal Program: 84.126 - Rehabilitation Services - Vocational Rehabilitation Grants to States Related to Prior Finding: N/A Agency’s view: The agency agrees with the finding as we were using the cost allocation plan which was originally approved by RSA but needed to be updated when the state changed to a new accounting system (Luma). The updated plan was submitted to the Indirect Cost Division with the Department of Education in January of 2026. After conversations with both RSA and the VRTAC we withdrew our submission in September of 2026 when the Department of Education began their evaluation of the new plan. It was determined that we will negotiate an indirect cost rate rather than use the updated Cost Allocation Plan. Corrective Action: Based on conversations with the Indirect Cost Division, RSA, the state audit team, and the VR TAC team we determined it would be best for the agency to work with the Indirect Cost Division to establish an indirect cost rate. Switching from using the Cost Allocation Plan that we had been using for 16 years, abruptly, to a 15% indirect cost rate April 1, 2026 created multiple hurdles and changes that we have been trying to overcome with the help of the VR TAC team’s intensive assistance. We are in the process of creating a system that will address the errors that were found by the state auditors. The Indirect Cost Division states that we need to begin the new plan July 1, 2027. They have provided us with a template, and we will complete that and work with them to ensure this rate is ready to begin using July 1, 2027. Previously, annually, we submitted a document by email to the Indirect Cost Division indicating that we were re-certifying the same Cost Allocation Plan. We did not receive responses, and we took that to mean it was okay to continue using the same plan each year. From 2021-2025 this was done and there was one year it was submitted later than when we typically (October 1) sent it. In the meeting with the Indirect Cost Division, Andre Hylton, told us that once our indirect rate was established, it would be approved for two years and then after review, it would be on a 5 year review schedule. Anticipated Corrective Action Date: We anticipate the template to be completed by January 15, 2027 and to begin using the new rate July 1, 2027.

Finding Number 2025-204: Multiple errors were identified in the amounts reported on the Rehabilitation Services Administration reports required for the Rehabilitation Services-Vocational Rehabilitation Grants to states. Federal Program: 84.126 - Rehabilitation Services - Vocational Rehabilitation Grants to States Related to Prior Finding: N/A Agency’s view: The agency agrees with the finding as we were using the cost allocation plan which changes the numbers from the ones used by the audit team and found from Luma (the state accounting system). Corrective Action: Corrective Action Objectives:  Ensure that future RSA reports are complete, accurate, consistent, and fully supported by documentation.  Establish and implement clear, standardized reporting procedures.  Retain documentation necessary to justify all reported amounts.  Identify and correct errors in previously submitted reports and communicate corrections to RSA.  Strengthen staff competencies and ensure adequate staffing levels to support proper grant reporting. Actions To Be Taken:  Form a Reporting Review Team comprising program, fiscal, and data analysts to review reports prior to submission.  Develop standardized RSA Reporting Procedures, including: o Step-by-step instructions for preparing RSA-17. o Required supporting documentation for each line item. o Definitions of allowable expenditures and required classifications. o Review and approval workflows.  Established a double-verification process, requiring two qualified staff members to independently verify all numeric entries prior to submission.  Implement a centralized documentation repository for financial records, worksheets, cost allocation documents, and reconciliation statements.  Establish a mandatory documentation checklist that must be completed before a report can be sent for approval.  Create standardized reconciliation templates tying reported amounts directly to the general ledger or supporting program records.  Complete a retrospective review of all RSA submissions for the necessary reports.  Identify inaccuracies, variances, and documentation gaps.  Develop corrected versions of each affected report.  Prepared a formal communication package for RSA including: o Corrected reports o Explanation of errors o Documentation supporting corrected amounts Conclusion: This Corrective Action Plan establishes a comprehensive strategy to resolve reporting errors, strengthen documentation practices, and prevent future inaccuracies in RSA federal grant reporting. Through strengthened controls, trained staff, and rigorous review processes, the Commission will ensure ongoing compliance and improved accountability.

Finding Number 2025-203: The Commission did not comply with federal matching, level of effort and earmarking grant requirements for the Rehabilitation Services-Vocational Rehabilitation Grants to State program. Federal Program: 84.126 - Rehabilitation Services - Vocational Rehabilitation Grants to States Related to Prior Finding: N/A Agency’s view: The agency agrees with the finding as we were using the cost allocation plan which changes the numbers from the ones used by the audit team and found from Luma (the state accounting system). Corrective Action: Corrective Action Objectives:  Achieve and maintain full compliance with federal matching, level of effort, and earmarking requirements.  Establish durable internal controls that prevent or promptly detect errors.  Ensure all compliance activities are properly documented, retained, and independently reviewable.  Train and support staff to understand compliance responsibilities and execute them consistently. Actions To Be Taken:  Implemented monthly compliance monitoring, including: o Match reconciliation comparing required vs. actual non-federal contributions o Review of earmarked funds to ensure required percentages are met.  Standardized documentation templates: o Match tracking worksheets o Earmark compliance ledger  Introduce a transaction sampling audit each quarter to validate documentation completeness and accuracy.  Establish a centralized compliance records repository.  Mandatory training covering matching requirements, MoE, earmarking rules, and documentation expectations. We are currently receiving intensive technical assistance from the VRTAC. This will include initial training for all program and fiscal staff.  Establish an annual internal audit focused on RSA compliance.  Establishing semi-annual briefings to the leadership team summarizing compliance status and corrective measures. Conclusion: This Corrective Action Plan strengthens the Commission’s internal controls, enhances documentation, and ensures compliance with federal matching, level of effort, and earmarking requirements. Implementation of these measures will improve accountability, reduce risk, and support ongoing program integrity.

Finding Number 2025-202: The Commission did not complete required SF-425 reports for the Aging Cluster in a timely manner. Federal Programs: 93.044 - Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B, Grants for Supportive Services and Senior Centers 93.045 - Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services 93.053 - Nutrition Services Incentive Program Related to Prior Finding: N/A Agency’s view: The Commission agrees with this finding. Corrective Action: At the time of the audit period, the Commission was still working to complete Aging Cluster SF-425 Federal Financial Reports. Several operational challenges contributed to delays, including fiscal staffing transitions and state software system implementation. The Commission has now fully corrected this issue. All past-due SF-425 reports were reviewed, finalized, and submitted, bringing the agency fully current on Aging Cluster federal financial reporting requirements. Anticipated Corrective Action Date: The Commission completed required SF-425 reports in a timely manner in SFY 2026. All outstanding SF-425 reports were completed and submitted by January 31, 2026, marking the date of full corrective action implementation.

Finding Number 2025-201: The Commission did not include administrative costs in required reports for the Federal Funding and Accountability Transparency Act (FFATA). Additionally, the Commission did not have any documentation to support adequate controls over FFATA reporting. Federal Programs: 93.044 - Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B, Grants for Supportive Services and Senior Centers 93.045 - Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services Related to Prior Finding: N/A Agency’s view: The Commission agrees with this finding. Corrective Action: The Commission acknowledges that the sub-award amounts reported under ALNs 93.044, 93.045, and 93.053 did not include all allocable administrative costs for the subrecipient tested. We have taken the following corrective actions, all of which were implemented during the audit following identification of this issue: 1. Revised FFATA Sub-Award Reports - The Commission revised the affected FFATA subaward reports in SAM.gov to include the administrative costs allocable to each of the three tested ALNs for the sub-recipient identified in the finding. The revised reports were provided to LSO for review on 06/18/2026. 2. Revised FFATA Reporting Policy Implemented: The Commission developed a documented policy governing FFATA sub-award data entry, review, and approval. The policy establishes the following: • The Financial Technician is responsible for entering all FFATA sub-award data and must confirm that reported amounts include direct program costs and administrative costs allocable to the sub-award. • The Financial Specialist Senior is required to review all FFATA entries for accuracy and completeness. The Financial Specialist will document their review. This step is the specific control that was absent during the audit period. • Documentation of each review and approval must be retained. Purpose: To document SCO Corrective Action Plan. Source: Ethan Draves, Financial Specialist, Pr. Tickmark Legend: Agrees with the agency response provided in Section 2815. Corrective action contains all requirements required by 2 CFR 200.511(c) (contact name, corrective action, anticipated completion, and an explanation if the auditee disagrees). Agency didn't specifically include if they agree or disagree with the finding Anticipated Corrective Action Date: The Commission issued a memorandum to LSO on 06/18/2026 identifying the revisions made to the FFATA reports and providing the policy. That memorandum is incorporated by reference into this response. This finding and corrective action is completed.

FINDING 2025-007 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Subrecipient Monitoring Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Stan Heil Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-542-0506-sheil@floydcounty.in.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The identified material weakness of SUBRECECIPIENT MONITORING has been recognized, confirmed, and accepted. The form of reporting contains language that formed differing thoughts as the County documented the Subrecipient report to the County Commissioners via a Public meeting, however, SBOA’s evaluation was to strengthen internal controls to ensure financial and performance reports are timely and accurate complying with the requirement of the Treasury. All Subrecipient awards from the Dept. of Treasury have been distributed in 2025, however, the Corrective Action Plan by the County is to ensure Compliance with each and every detail of Federal Awards in the future, by obtaining necessary subrecipient financial and/or performance reports and including a secondary review of the documents by someone other than the person who obtained the reports. Anticipated Completion Date: The anticipated completion date of the Corrective Action Plan identified above will occur September 30, 2026 reporting as the exposure of this finding-material weakness, is being addressed.

FINDING 2025-006 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Reporting Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Stan Heil Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-542-0506-sheil@floydcounty.in.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The corrective action plan provided in FY 2025 was enacted and reviews did occur as committed to in FY 2024 Audit review and Corrective Action Plan. As stated in 2025 Corrective Action Plan for Audit Year 2024, the review was not effective in detecting and correcting previously enacted errors or misreported values in submitted reports. These previous reports have been “locked” from modifications and cannot be amended in future periods. The Commissioners did appoint the Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer to review future reporting for compliance. This move became effective in August 2025. The internal controls process has been strengthened with both positions collaborating on and reviewing for accuracy and required timely reporting. The final step of the internal control process is to have the President of the Commissioners review and submit the final quarterly reports. The Quarter III & IV FY 2025 is identified in the finding with 3 project errors $21,693. The CAUSE as identified on the Audit Report states “The County’s oversight process for filing the P&E reports did not detect errors. The errors were the result of including expenditures from the incorrect time periods.” The strengthened internal controls (The Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer will independently review the reporting and documentation and each will sign off on signifying their review and approval of submissions) are to ensure that all values presented to the Dept of Treasury are accurately reported and vetted with the local County reports thru the County Auditor’s Office. The P&E reports are reflective of the time period of payment, to ensure the Auditor records agree with the Treasury reporting and not timed to the completion/submission of the payment requests. All future efforts will be directed to compliance with the recommendations and requirements of the Treasury reporting. Floyd County agrees with the RECOMMENDATION as provided within the Audit Report – Strengthening the County’s system of internal controls to provide for segregation of duties in the preparation and review of federal reports and providing the Treasury with complete and accurate information for the P&E reports. Anticipated Completion Date: The anticipated completion date of the Corrective Action Plan identified above will occur September 30, 2026 reporting as the exposure of this finding-weakness, is being addressed.

Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Corrective Action Plan for this identified material weakness modified opinion, is first to recognize that strengthened internal controls will reduce/eliminate non-compliance submissions, thereby resulting in potential loss of Federal awards to the County of Floyd. The Commissioners have realigned and separated the Operations and Financial functions of Operations, to ensure greater attention to compliance. The identified material weakness with modified opinion occurred prior to the County’s realignment. It is desirous of the Floyd County Commissioners that compliance to all federal/state/and local awards are strictly adhered to and the separation of Operations and Finance strengthen this commitment. The Internal Controls will require that both the Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer review and sign as approval, ensuring that cross-referencing ledger expenditures for filing of reimbursement to Federal awards are compliant. The process will also ensure that any duplication of any reimbursements are eliminated. Anticipated Completion Date: The anticipated completion date of the Corrective Action Plan identified above will occur September 30, 2026 reporting as the exposure of this finding-weakness, is being addressed.

Corrective Action Plans: The Meriwether County School District is committed to maintaining full compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act and related Federal wage requirements for all construction projects funded with Federal dollars. To ensure compliance, we are implementing clear, documented procedures to verify that all construction-related contracts include the appropriate wage provisions and that certified payroll records are submitted weekly and in a timely manner by all contractors and subcontractors. The following steps outline how the district will develop, implement, and monitor these procedures: Development and Implementation Procedures 1. Contract Template Updates All standard construction contract templates will be updated to include Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rate requirements, certified payroll provisions, and enforcement language. 2. Inclusion in Bid Documents and RFPs All bid solicitations and RFPs for federally funded construction projects will explicitly reference the applicable Federal wage determinations and required payroll documentation. 3. Pre-Award Contractor Communication Contractors will be notified in writing of their obligations under the Davis-Bacon Act during the bid process and again at contract award. 4. Pre-Construction Orientation Pre-construction meetings will be held with contractors and subcontractors to review Davis-Bacon requirements, wage determinations, and payroll submission expectations. Monitoring and Enforcement Procedures 1. Certified Payroll Collection Contractors will be required to submit certified payrolls weekly for each week of work performed. A checklist and calendar will be maintained by the project manager to track submissions. 2. Payroll Verification Process Submitted certified payrolls will be reviewed for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with wage rates. Spot checks (e.g., worker interviews or site visits) will be conducted periodically. 3. Centralized Document Storage All certified payrolls and compliance records will be stored in a centralized, secure digital file system accessible by authorized district staff and available for audit or federal review. 4. Compliance Reporting and Follow-Up Any instances of non-compliance will be documented and addressed promptly. Corrective actions may include written warnings, payment withholdings, or notification to oversight agencies. 5. Internal Audits and Staff Training The district' s Federal Programs Director will conduct internal quarterly audits as necessary when Federal funds are being used to verify proper procedures are being followed, and ongoing training will be provided to staff involved in procurement, contracting, and facilities management. By implementing these procedures, the district will ensure that all federally funded construction contracts fully comply with applicable wage laws and that payroll records are collected, reviewed, and maintained in a timely and transparent manner. Regular monitoring and staff accountability will help ensure continued legal compliance and project integrity.

Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Division: Support Services Responsible Official: Chief, Support Services Target Completion Date: June 30, 2026 Status: In Progress 1. Summary of the Finding The FY 2024‑25 Single Audit identified deficiencies in internal controls over the District’s cash management practices for federal grants under ALN 66.001 and 66.039. Specifically, the District did not retain evidence showing that drawdown requests were reviewed and approved by the appropriate individual prior to submission. This control lapse occurred for all tested drawdowns and represents a material weakness in internal control over compliance. 2. Root Cause The District’s procedures for processing payment drawdowns did not require or document review and approval prior to submission. The lack of a formalized and documented approval step resulted in an incomplete audit trail and insufficient compliance documentation. 3. Corrective Action Plan The District will strengthen internal control over federal grant cash management by implementing formal approval, documentation, and oversight requirements for all drawdown submissions. A. Implement Formal Drawdown Review and Approval Procedures B. Establish Documentation and Retention Requirements C. Monitoring and Quality Assurance 4. Monitoring & Verification • The Chief of Support Services will oversee implementation and continuous compliance. • Compliance will be verified through quarterly internal reviews and a year‑end checklist confirming approval documentation for every drawdown. • All results will be retained and made available for future audits. 5. Expected Outcome These corrective actions will: • Ensure drawdown submissions are accurate, reviewed, and compliant with federal requirements. • Establish a complete audit trail documenting proper oversight. • Strengthen internal control over federal cash management and prevent future findings. • Reduce risk of inaccurate or unauthorized drawdowns and ensure sustained compliance with 2 CFR Section 200.303(a).

The City does have sufficient internal controls over ARP reporting. Reports submitted matched the 2025 cumulative expenditures at the time that reporting was due. However, as is always the case with year-end invoices for the fourth quarter 2025 reporting period were processed after the report due date and updated on our internal ARP spending tracking. Because the Treasury Department does not have a process to amend report submissions, the amounts were included in the next period (1st quarter 2026) report.

Federal Agency Name: Corporation for National and Community Service Federal Financial Assistance Listing #94.012 Program Name: September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance Grants Subrecipient Monitoring Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Finding Summary: Subawards did not contain minimum required elements in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332. The organization did not consider all suggested elements when evaluating subgrantee’s fraud risk and risk of noncompliance with subaward in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332(c). Documentation couldn’t be provided to substantiate whether suspension and debarment was considered prior to awarding subgrant. The organization required the subgrantee to complete performance reports, however, did not require completion of a financial report in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332(e)(1). The organization did not consider whether subgrantee was required to be audited and therefore did not review whether subgrantee had deficiencies. Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding and has begun implementing enhanced subrecipient monitoring procedures designed to address each of the identified compliance requirements. Subaward agreements will be revised to include the applicable information and terms required by 2 CFR §200.332. Prior to issuing subawards, management will verify and retain documentation of each prospective subrecipient's suspension and debarment status and will determine whether the subrecipient is subject to Single Audit requirements. Management will review available audit information, including identified findings or deficiencies, when applicable. Management is also enhancing its pre-award risk assessment process to evaluate each prospective subrecipient's risk of noncompliance with the federal subaward. The revised process will incorporate documented risk factors, including prior experience with the same or similar subawards, results of previous audits or other available financial oversight information, personnel and systems used to administer federal awards, and other factors relevant to the subrecipient's ability to comply with federal requirements. The results of the risk assessment will be documented and used to determine the appropriate level and nature of subrecipient monitoring. Subrecipients will be required to submit both programmatic and financial reports during the period of performance. Management will document its review of required reports and will perform additional monitoring, including desk reviews or other procedures, as appropriate based on assessed risk and performance. These procedures will be incorporated into the organization's documented subrecipient monitoring process and retained with the applicable grant records. Responsible Individuals: David Paine - President, Dominique Carver – Operations Director, Miranda Cirtwell – Controller Anticipated Completion Date: February 15, 2026

Federal Agency Name: Corporation for National and Community Service Federal Financial Assistance Listing #94.012 Program Name: September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance Grants Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Finding Summary: The organization’s procurement policy is missing required provisions in accordance with 2 CFR 200.318. For each of the 3 vendors selected for testing there was no documentation retained to support the rationale for the method of procurement. Additionally, the Organization did not retain supporting documentation to substantiate whether consideration was taken whether the vendor was suspended or debarred from doing business with the federal government prior to entering the covered transaction for each of the 3 vendors selected for testing. Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding and has revised its procurement policies and procedures to strengthen compliance with federal procurement requirements. The organization's Procurement Policy has been updated to incorporate applicable requirements of 2 CFR Part 200, including requirements governing procurement methods, noncompetitive procurements, conflicts of interest, contractor oversight, and suspension and debarment. Management has also implemented a standardized Sole Source Justification and Procurement Record for noncompetitive procurements. The record requires identification of the applicable basis for noncompetitive procurement under 2 CFR §200.320(c), documentation of the programmatic need and procurement rationale, consideration of available alternatives and applicable market research, documentation supporting cost or price reasonableness, suspension and debarment verification when applicable, and required internal approvals. Supporting documentation will be retained with the procurement record. For covered transactions subject to federal suspension and debarment requirements, management will verify the prospective contractor's exclusion status prior to entering into the transaction and retain dated evidence of the verification. Procurement documentation and required compliance reviews will be completed and retained prior to contract execution.
