Context: The School Corporation had not designed nor implemented a system of internal control to ensure that the annual Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) annual Data Collection reports (Reports) were complete and accurately submitted. The reports were prepared and submitted in JotForm, the online application used by the Indiana Department of Education to collect information, without an oversight or secondary review process in 2 place to prevent, or detect and correct, errors. During tie out of the Year 3 report, a variance between the underlying records and reported expenditures of $187,649 was noted due to the lack of effective controls surrounding annual data reporting. 84.425U expenditures submitted within the Year 3 report were overstated by $187,649.

2023-004 Financial Reporting Requirements Recommendation: Auditors recommend that CIES modify its internal control policies for general review and approval of the reporting requirements set forth by the criteria listed. Criteria: 2 CIR 200.328 – Unless otherwise approved by OMB, the Federal awarding agency must solicit only the OMB-approved governmentwide data elements for collection of financial information (at time of publication the Federal Financial Report) or such future OMB approved, governmentwide data elements available from the OMB designated standards lead. This information must be collected with the frequency required by the terms and conditions of the Federal award, but no less frequently than annually nor more frequently than quarterly except in unusual circumstances, for example where more frequent reporting is necessary for the effective monitoring of the Federal award or could significantly affect program outcomes, and preferably in coordination with performance reporting. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned in response to finding: CIES will implement a process whereby financial information required to be reported to the Federal awarding agency will be prepared by CIES administrative staff (i.e., Administrative Assistant, Chief Operations Officer) and reviewed and approved before submittal by the Executive Director. The review and approval process will be documented and stored within CIES internal electronic files, as appropriate, for each fiscal year.

Adjustments were made to align ESSER I reporting and to avoid timing discrepancies by using budget detail rather than summary reports. The completed report will be reviewed for accuracy and approved prior to submission. Beginning in fall 2023, the reimbursement process was updated to include all required supporting documentation, such as transaction detail and summary reports. Each request is also reviewed and signed by the supervisor to document approval. On a recurring basis, the Director of Federal Grants generates the detailed expenditure report and budget summary. The detailed report is filtered to capture only the transactions occurring since the previous reimbursement request, making new expenditures easy to identify. These amounts are added to the cumulative reimbursement totals, which are then compared to the total disbursements shown on the summary report to ensure they align. Once the totals match, the reimbursement request is reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer and submitted to the awarding agency. Completion Date 6/30/25

FINDING 2023-005 Finding Subject: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies - Earmarking Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Ahnaf Tahmid & Marlaina Johns Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 574-393-6000, atahmid@sbcsc.k12.in.us, mjohns2@sbcsc.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: Earmarking All expenditures related to parental involvement are tracked using a designated expenditure code. The required homeless set-aside is monitored using department-level data. The same expenditure code is applied to both the mandatory parental involvement set-aside and any additional parental involvement funds. This allows the district to track the spend-down of the mandatory set-aside and determine how much must be carried over into the next grant year. Schools are expected to use the mandatory set-aside funds first, following a FIFO (first-in, first-out) approach, before accessing any parental involvement funds beyond the required amount. We are actively coordinating with the homeless liaison to ensure that fund balances remain current and transparent to all stakeholders. This collaboration supports more effective planning and helps ensure that the funds are spent down appropriately and on schedule. Correction Date 6/30/2025

Management also provides the Board with updates on personnel transitions and associated risks to support proper oversight and timely remediation of identified issues. As of FY2026, procedures have been implemented requiring that all supporting documentation and attachments be uploaded and maintained within the online accounting system and google shared drive to strengthen internal controls, improve transparency, and ensure consistent documentation practices.

Response to finding 2023-005 – Reporting Views of Responsible Officials: CSforALL management agrees with the conditions identified by SAX Advisory Group, including the noted causes and resulting effects under 2023-005. During the audit period, recordkeeping was not centrally maintained, and key documents were often stored under individual employee drives rather than within a shared, organization-controlled system. Due to the organizational pause at the end of 2024 and the transition period throughout 2025, the Organization had limited capacity to implement formal reporting controls; however, foundational corrective steps were initiated in 2025 to support full compliance during the 2026 operating year. Corrective Action taken in 2025: The Operations Manager conducted a full triage of existing accounts and transferred organizational documents into centralized CSforALL Drives. Files were reorganized by year and subject matter to ensure accessibility, consistency, and proper retention. This restructured system now provides a unified location for all grant-related documents, reporting records, and compliance materials, establishing a baseline for future Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Corrective Action Planned for 2026: Beginning in 2026, CSforALL will implement formalized policies and procedures to ensure records are maintained in accordance with applicable compliance requirements and that all Uniform Guidance reports are submitted timely. The Operations Manager and Accounting team will oversee ongoing documentation, retention, and periodic internal review to ensure the reporting structure remains organized, accessible, and compliant throughout the 2026 operating year and beyond.

We agree with the recommendations offered for the relevant programs and will establish and implement policies that provide for documentary evidence of review of applicable reports by qualified individuals to ensure the timely submission of required reports to applicable federal agencies that can be easily reconciled to the underlying accounting records.
