Finding 2024-001 – Child Nutrition Cluster – Eligibility Context: During the testing of internal controls over eligibility determinations for free and reduced meals, we noted there was no formal review control in place. There is no documented, secondary review for the applications entered in the food service software which determines eligibility. Additionally, there was no documented review by School Corporation personnel of the Income Eligibility Guidelines used by the food service software which are updated on annual basis. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Leslie Beach, Director of Food Services Contact Phone Number: 812-542-2245 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: A manager will review eligibility determination and guidelines moving forward. Anticipated Completion Date: Immediate correction.

Recommendation: We recommend that the District implements a process that will ensure all Title IV funds are awarded at proper amounts. Action taken in response to finding: Student’s award was adjusted to appropriately match the EFC of a subsequent ISIR that had not been processed at the time of awarding. Evidence of that change was provided to auditors in July 2024. Refresher training was provided to analysts to improve monitoring the output files of the ISIR import process (RCRTPxx) that identifies subsequent ISIRs received for students with locked records. Names of the contact persons responsible for corrective action: Patrick Scott and Anna Marie Troupe Planned completion date for corrective action plan: July 2024

Recommendation: We recommend the District re-evaluate their procedures for providing up-to-date URL information to the Department of Education. Action taken in response to finding: This is a relatively new requirement that was overlooked, and we are happy that the auditors found it. The District has submitted the URL for its contracts with BankMobile to the Department’s website. If the URL for those contracts should change, then the District will need to update those URLs. Please note that the public-facing database of those URLs is updated irregularly—the last update was in January of 2024—and any future submission should have a date stamp somehow attached for future audits. There is a very real possibility that a school could provide this information, but not have it reflected in the database. Names of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Patrick Scott, Dean –Financial Aid, Anna Marie Troupe, Financial Aid Supervisor Planned completion date for corrective action plan: December 2024

Recommendation: We recommend the District re-evaluate their procedures for processing and documenting outstanding Title IV funds to the Department of Education. Action taken in response to finding: As this is a multi-year finding, the Financial Aid department and the Business Services department have been working closely this term to develop a coordinated approach to avoid the issue going forward. Our procedures have been changed drastically. Once a student appears on a timeout / stale-dated check report from the vendor responsible for delivering aid to our students, we are reversing the funds and processing that reversal through COD first, then reaching out to the student to see if they need to make arrangements for correcting their address. This was done in the opposite fashion in prior years, and while it reduced delays for students who could rectify things, it carried too much risk of being forgotten and the 240 day mark being surpassed. The financial aid department has committed to placing the reversals and processing them through COD within seven business days of receiving the notification from the vendor and/or Business Services. This is far stricter than the federal regulations, but a seemingly necessary step to ensure compliance. Additionally, the Business Services team is aware of the impossibility of delivering aid beyond 240 days of the original check issuance and is helping the financial aid team to understand issuance dates in situations where Title IV aids may be commingled with other financial aid across multiple disbursement attempts. This coordination will ensure the District’s compliance going forward.

Recommendation: We recognize the District made corrective action after the June 30, 2023 audit and implemented those controls during the Fall 2023 semester. We recommend the District continue to follow those controls put in place to ensure compliance with the aforementioned criteria. Action taken in response to finding: The District reviewed its enrollment reporting procedures and ensured that information—especially the effective date of status changes—is accurately reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Name of the contact persons responsible for corrective action: Alysa Borelli, Dean—Enrollment Services, and Patrick Scott, Dean – Financial Aid Planned completion date for corrective action plan: These corrections were already put into place during Fall 2023 when the issue was discovered in the FY 2023 audit.

Recommendation: We recommend that the District improve the existing procedures and controls to ensure compliance with the aforementioned criteria. Action taken in response to finding: As this finding has occurred in multiple years, it is one of the financial aid team’s top priorities. Return to Title IV calculations are complex operations—especially in the California Community College system where multiple Pell awards per term and high withdrawal rates are common—that require time and focus. This year’s batch of calculations were problematic due for several reasons: • Human error • Insufficient number of staff capable of reliably performing calculations • Failure to retain students who have received financial aid beyond the 60% mark of the term • A typographical error in the college’s end date for Fall 2023 required us to re-calculate all Return to Title IV calculations, making each of those calculations a technical violation of Title IV regulations since they were done outside the limited time window We have taken the following actions: • Increased the number of people in the department who are capable of performing calculations • Provided support for two staff members to obtain their NASFAA certification in Return to Title IV funds calculations • Requested out-of-class status to remunerate one of our student services assistants who obtained that certification so that they can be involved in these calculations going forward • Emphasized the importance of timely calculations in staff meetings and evaluations • Altered our procedures to include deliberate consideration of dates involved to better control the timeliness of both calculations and returning funds to the Title IV programs. • Added a step to the new aid year setup that verifies that the term start, and end dates entered in the Banner® system are correct.

Finding 2024-003 Procurement, Suspension, & Debarment Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Assistance Listing Number: 93.591 Program Name: Family Violence Prevention and Services/State Domestic Violence Coalitions Finding Summary: 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must create and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides assurance that the entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. There were two instances where the review and approval process did not identify the procurement worksheet was incorrectly completed. In addition, the contracts tested did not include some of the required contract provisions. Corrective Action Plan: Completed. Management agrees that the procurement worksheet was incorrectly completed, and training has taken place with agency staff to ensure accurate completion of the required documentation. Responsible Individual: Krista Heeren-Graber, Executive Director Anticipated Completion Date: Completed

Federal Programs: Social Services Block Grant ( ALN 93.667) and Formula Grants for Rural Areas (ALN 20.509) Finding 2024-1: Significant Deficiency. Criteria: 2 CFR section 200.303 states in part: "The non-Federal entity must: (a) Establish and maintain effective internal control over Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal awards in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the allowable costs and allowable activities compliance requirements. Cause: Allocations based on timesheets were not correctly calculated and therefore the splits were not correct. Effect: The failure to establish an effective internal control system placed the Agency at risk of noncompliance with the grant agreement and the compliance requirements. A lack of effective reviews could have also allowed noncompliance with the compliance requirements and allowed the misuse and mismanagement of federal funds and assets by the review process not ensuring there was accurate reporting of the activities of the programs. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Questioned Costs: There were no questioned costs identified. Recommendation: Add additional reviews or calculation checks to make sure the percentage of payroll is correctly split across the various grant awards based on time spent for each grant category. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management is in agreement with the finding and has prepared a corrective action plan.

Condition: Total federal expenditures for the year ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $1,095,663. Prior to the performance of financial statement audit procedures, the Organization had determined that federal expenditures during the year ended June 30, 2024 did not exceed the threshold of $750,000. Recommendation: We recommend that all funding contracts are carefully reviewed to determine whether the amounts awarded represent federal funding and whether they should be classified as contractor payments or as subrecipient payments. If there is any uncertainty, we recommend that the Organization contact the funding source for clarification. We recommend that a schedule of expenditures of federal awards is prepared on an annual basis to determine if total expenditures exceed the threshold which would require a Single Audit. Name of Contact Person: Kristen Genovese, CEO Phone Number: 602-652-0163 Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2025 Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: notMYkid, Inc. will establish procedures to review all contracts and, if necessary, to communicate with funding sources to ensure that receipts of federal funding are properly classified as subrecipient versus contractor arrangements to ensure completeness of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. notMYkid, Inc. will also prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards on an annual basis to determine whether the threshold for a Single Audit is exceeded.
