2023-008 – Procurement, Above Simple Acquisition (Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance) Recommendation: We recommend the College strengthen controls to ensure purchasing policies and procedures are being followed and train staff in the purchasing department to comply with all relevant federal procurement requirements. Action Taken: The 2022-2023 fiscal year was entirely encompassed by the separation Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of March 2022 and then the final release settlement in December 2023. It is important to note that Southeast New Mexico College was a newly established independent community college, having formally separated from New Mexico State University (NMSU) as of April 2022. During this transition period, many administrative processes, including federal grant compliance procedures, were in the process of being developed, transitioned, and implemented independently from NMSU systems. As a result, certain policies, procedures, and documentation processes were not yet fully established or operational at the time of the audit. During the audit period, the College operated under procurement policies and procedures inherited from New Mexico State University (NMSU), as the College had recently separated from NMSU. The procedures were followed in good faith. Two College employees successfully completed Certified Procurement Officer (CPO) training in July 2021 and were recertified in March 2024. Another employee became certified in February 2024, and the College is having two additional employees participate in fiscal year 2025. This training demonstrates the College’s commitment to compliance and proper procurement practices. Unfortunately, due to the untimely receipt of the completed audit report, the College did not have the opportunity to review and begin addressing several of the findings until well after the end of the audit period. While the College is committed to corrective action, the delayed delivery of the audit limited the ability to implement corrective measures earlier. The College is working proactively to ensure that these issues are resolved going forward. Corrective Action Taken / Planned: • Policy and Procedure Revision o The institution will revise its procurement policies and procedures to explicitly address purchases exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, incorporating:  Public solicitation and competitive bidding requirements  Cost or price analysis requirements per 2 CFR §200.324  Documentation of bid evaluations, vendor selection, and contract award  Use of federally compliant contract clauses (per 200.327 and Appendix II). • Training o Procurement, finance, and grant management staff will be trained on updated procedures, including:  Competitive procurement processes  Cost/price analysis methods  Documentation requirements • Procurement Checklist: o A standardized procurement checklist will be developed and required for all procurements above the Simplified Acquisition Threshold to ensure all federal steps are documented and reviewed. • Pre-Award Review Process o For all purchases above the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the institution will implement a review and approval process involving procurement leadership and the grants compliance office before contract award. • Monitoring: o Annual internal monitoring will be conducted by the Procurement Office or Grants Compliance Office to ensure ongoing compliance with federal procurement requirements. Due Date of Completion: August 31, 2025 Responsible Official: Carolyn Kasdorf, Vice President for Business and Finance (or appropriate official), Karla Volpi, Dean of Business and Finance, Rebecca Silva, Director of Finance, Lisa Ryan, Restricted Funds Manager

The College is working proactively to ensure that these issues are resolved going forward. Corrective Action Taken / Planned: • Policy Update o The institution will revise its procurement policies to fully align with Uniform Guidance (2 CFR §200.320) requirements for small purchases. Policies will specify:  The dollar thresholds for small purchases  Requirements for obtaining at least two or more quotes, as applicable.  Acceptable methods of documenting quotes (written, online or verbal with notation).  Exceptions or special circumstances, if applicable under federal regulations. • Procedure Implementation o Detailed procedures and checklists will be developed to ensure consistent documentation of all small purchases under federal awards, including price comparisons and vendor justification. • Training o Procurement and grant personnel will receive training on the revised small purchase procedures to ensure understanding of documentation and compliance requirements. • Monitoring: o A periodic review process will be established to verify adherence to small purchase procurement requirements, with corrective actions taken if any deficiencies are identified.

Finding 2023-003 – COVID 19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund - AL No. 21.027 U.S. Department of Treasury Noncompliance and Material Weakness Related to Internal Control over Compliance of the Major Program Criteria: Non‐federal entities other than states, including those operating federal programs as subrecipients of states, must follow the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. They must use their own documented procurement procedures, which reflect applicable state and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable federal statutes and the procurement requirements identified in 2 CFR Part 200. As governmental subrecipients of states they are also required to use the same state procurement policies and procedures for federal funds as for non‐federal funds, the Town is required to follow Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter (MGL) 30(b). MGL 30(b) requires the solicitation of three written or oral quotes for procurements of supplies between $10,000 and $49,999 and sealed bids or proposals for procurements of supplies $50,000 and over. Management of the Town is also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with federal requirements that have a direct and material effect on a federal program. Condition: During fiscal year 2023, the Town could not provide evidence that they complied with the required procurement policies and procedures in place as it related to two of the expenses charged to the major program. Context: The Town purchased a new boiler for the School however the procurement documentation could not be located and the employee who would have overseen the project was unavailable to provide the supporting documentation. In addition, the Town could not locate or provide evidence that procurement procedures were followed when selecting an engineer for the Water Tank project. Questioned Costs: $71,500 related to the School Boiler Project and $170,163.70 related to the Water Tank Project. Cause: Directors used the Massachusetts procurement guidelines and not federal guidelines. Effect or Potential Effect: There is a risk that the amount charged to the federal awards major program may not be in accordance with procurement, suspension, and debarment principles. Identification as a Repeat Finding: N/A Recommendation: The Town of Hopedale should address the noncompliance and material weaknesses in internal controls noted above in order to ensure that procurements are conducted in accordance with federal and state requirements. Responsible for Corrective Plan: Kelly Grant, Assistant Town Administrator Estimated Completion Date: on going as grant and funds are still being used Action Taken: one person only responsible for making sure all federal and state procurement guidelines are met and followed.

Finding 2023-001 – Special Education Cluster – AL No.’s 84.027 & 84.173 Department of Education Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Noncompliance and Significant Deficiency Related to Internal Control over Compliance of the Major Programs Criteria: Non‐federal entities other than states, including those operating federal programs as subrecipients of states, must follow the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. They must use their own documented procurement procedures, which reflect applicable state and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable federal statutes and the procurement requirements identified in 2 CFR Part 200. As governmental subrecipients of states are also required to use the same state procurement policies and procedures for federal funds as for non‐federal funds, the Town is required to follow Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter (MGL) 30(b). MGL 30(b) requires the solicitation of three written or oral quotes for procurements of supplies between $10,000 and $49,999 and sealed bids or proposals for procurements of supplies $50,000 and over. Management of the Town is also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with federal requirements that have a direct and material effect on a federal program. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. Condition and Context: During fiscal year 2023, the Town did not comply with the required procurement policies and procedures process for procurements that exceeded both State and Federal thresholds. Questioned Costs: Unkown Cause: A Town State/Federal grants procedures manual that included proper procurement procedures did not exist until February 2023. Effect or Potential Effect: Due to the weaknesses in internal controls noted above, there is a risk that amounts charged to federal awards may not be in accordance with procurement, suspension, and debarment principles. No known questioned costs are reported, as it is not quantifiable. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Yes, finding number 2022-002 Recommendation: The Town should address the weaknesses in internal controls noted above in order to ensure that procurements are conducted in accordance with federal and state requirements. Managements Response: We acknowledge the audit finding related to non-compliance with the required procurement policies and procedures for procurements exceeding the State and Federal thresholds during Fiscal Year 2023. The Town and Schools have Acushnet’s Federal Grant Procedures Manual (February 2023) to ensure that procurements are conducted in accordance with Federal and State requirements – in particular, the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. We are pleased to report that we believe to have addressed this issue in Fiscal Year 2024 to ensure compliance with the procurement policies and procedures, as required by both State and Federal threshold. Responsible for Corrective Plan: School Business Manager Estimated Completion Date: Fiscal Year 2024 Action Taken: The Town and Schools have adopted Acushnet’s Federal Grant Procedures Manual (February 2023). This manual ensures that all procurements are conducted in accordance with the relevant Federal and State procurement standards, specifically the requirements outlined in 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. We are pleased to report that we have taken steps to address this issue and believe we have successfully ensured compliance with these procurement policies and procedures.

Finding 2023-007: Significant Deficiency, Procurement and Noncompliance Finding – Procurement – Internal Control over Procurement Finding: SPED/Grant Administration did not adhere to the Danbury Public Schools “Bids and Purchases-Competitive” procurement policies, that were compliant with Federal Part 3 compliance guidelines. The DPS had a procurement policy in place that was consistent with the standards of the aforementioned compliance sections; however, the City did not follow their own procurement policy requiring two quotes for a micro-purchase expenditure, three quotes for a small purchase expenditure and advertising for bids publicly for the large >$5,000 purchase expenditures. They only obtained one quote for each expenditure for micro and small purchases, and they did not use a public bid process for expenditures over $5,000. Corrective Action Taken or Planned: Danbury Public Schools (DPS) will begin reviewing the procurement policies that are in place in order to ensure they are in accordance with all compliance requirements set forth by any grants that DPS participates in. A memorandum will be issued summarizing procurement policy features. Lastly, training will be conducted with both the department and the finance team to review the policies and ensure understanding.

FINDING 2023-006 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster – Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Summary of Finding: A School Nutrition Cooperative (Co-ops, Education Service Center, Group Purchasing Organization, etc.) that would like to be classified as a School Food Authority (SFA) Cooperative must complete a questionnaire and submit it to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). Once a questionnaire is received IDOE will review the answers to determine a Cooperative’s classification. Only Cooperatives that submit the questionnaire and receive a SFA-only Cooperative classification from IDOE in writing will be considered a SFA only Cooperative for the purposes of the procurement process and procurement reviews. INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS 41 􀀃 “Meeting􀀃students􀀃where􀀃they􀀃are􀀃and􀀃leading􀀃them􀀃forward…every􀀃student,􀀃every􀀃day”􀀃 When the value of goods or services exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold, the proper purchasing method would be the bidding process, unless the purchase meets certain other qualifications. Federal regulations allow for informal procurement methods when the value of the procurement for goods or services does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, which is customarily set at $250,000. However, Indiana Code 5-22-8 has a more restrictive threshold of $150,000 or less for when small purchase procedures may be used. This informal process allows for methods other than the formal bid process. The informal process is divided between two methods based on thresholds. Micro-purchases, typically for those purchases $10,000 or under, and small purchase procedures for those purchases above the micro-purchase threshold, but below the simplified acquisition threshold. Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive price rate quotations. If small purchase procedures are used, then price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources. If it is determined a single source provider can be used for a small purchase, documentation must be retained supporting the determination. The School Corporation could not provide supporting documentation that an adequate number of price or rate quotations was obtained to ensure full and open competition for two vendors procured under the small purchase threshold.
