U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Significant Deficiency 2022-01: Education and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund ? CFDA #84.425D and #84.425U Grant Period: Year Ended June 30, 2022 Condition and Context: The District purchased equipment greater than the Uniform Guidance capitalization threshold and failed to complete a listing of equipment containing all pertinent data. The lack of compliance did not result in any material noncompliance, fraud, or abuse with respect to the major program. Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires entities to follow equipment procedures set out at 2 CFR sections 200.313(c) through (e) and real property procedures set out at 2 CFR section 200.311(b). Entities must retain a listing of equipment greater than or equal to the capitalization policy of either the entity or Uniform Guidance with relevant data including, a description of the property, a serial number or other identification number, the source of funding for the property (including the federal award number), who holds title, the acquisition date, cost of the property, percentage of federal participation in the project costs for the federal award under which the property was acquired, the location, use and condition of the property, a and any ultimate disposition data including the date of disposal and sales price of the property. Property records must be maintained and include the name, part number and description, and other elements as necessary and required in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract, quantity received, unit acquisition cost, unique-item identifier, accountable contract number, location, disposition, and posting reference and date of transaction. Cause: The District was unaware of the requirements set out by Uniform Guidance. Effect: An important component of equipment policies is retaining information to ensure that the award is used for authorized purposes, complies with the terms and conditions of the award, and achieves performance goals. Without equipment policies, there is a higher risk of noncompliance with program requirements. Recommendation: Management should determine procedures for equipment purchases and apply them to all equipment purchases equal to or exceeding the threshold to comply with the Uniform Guidance. Grantee Response: Management agrees with the finding and recommendation. The District will establish policies and procedures for future grant awards to comply with Uniform Guidance requirements.

CAP for Finding: 2022-700 Finding 2022-700: Research and Development Cluster?Physical Inventory Requirements for Federal Equipment Planned Corrective Action: The University agrees with the condition that we did not perform a physical inventory of all federal equipment during the period from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2022, because of staffing issues and backlog in the FY 2020-21 physical inventories. Much of the staffing issues were related to Covid-19 both physical availability and turnover. As operations have since normalized, we do not believe a corrective action plan to our procedures is needed. However, we do recognize that we need to catch up on the backlog of inventory. Since June 30, 2022, Property Control has hired three new employees and is now fully staffed. We are in the middle of conducting the FY 2022-23 physical inventories. We selected 45 departments and a total of 6089 assets. Of the total asset count 5295 were federal equipment, which is 62% of all federal equipment for FY 2022-23. We have received 19 departments? inventory submissions and have completed 4 of them. The Property Control team along with campus staff are working diligently to get these inventories completed by year-end June 30, 2023. We have every confidence that rest of the 38% of federal equipment will be inventoried as required under 2 CFR s. 200.313 (d) (2) by fiscal year end 2024.
