Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D Federal Award Numbers and Years (or Other Identifying Numbers): S425D200013 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Reporting Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirements. Context: The School Corporation was required to submit two Annual Data Reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) to meet federal reporting requirements for ESSER grant awards. The first report was for the period of March 13, 2020 to September 30, 2020 and was due by January 21, 2021. The second report was for the period of October 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 and was due by May 13, 2022. For the first report, the amounts reported as expended did not agree to underlying expenditure records of the School Corporation. Per discussion with the Treasurer, the amount in the report included expenditures from outside of the reporting period, resulting in an overstatement of expenditures of approximately $28,000. Additionally, for both reports that were submitted, there was no documented review by someone other than the preparer of the report to ensure the information submitted was complete and accurate. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The treasurer will prepare the grant reporting and have the deputy treasurer review and make any corrections to the information online prior to submission.

Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D Federal Award Numbers and Years (or Other Identifying Numbers): S425D200013, S425U200013 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Reporting Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirements. Context: The School Corporation was required to submit two Annual Data Reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) to meet federal reporting requirements for ESSER grant awards. The first report was for the period of March 13, 2020 to September 30, 2020 and was due by January 21, 2021. The second report was for the period of October 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 and was due by May 13, 2022. The amounts reported as expended on the second report did not agree to the underlying expenditure records of the School Corporation. Per discussion with the Treasurer, the amounts reported on the second report were the appropriated amounts, not the actual amounts expended during the period. Therefore, the amounts on the report were overstated by approximately 25% for ESSER I and 280% for ESSER II compared to the correct amounts on the School Corporation?s records. Additionally, for both reports that were submitted, there was no documented review by someone other than the preparer of the report to ensure the information submitted was complete and accurate. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The NJ-SP School Corporation will implement effective internal controls to oversee that the federal grant information prepared and submitted is accurate and reviewed. This will be done in order to detect and correct errors that may be entered prior to submission. This will be done by having an employee prepare the Annual Data Report information while another employee reviews and approves the information before submitting. These controls will be implemented by July 1, 2023. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Dalton C. Tunis ? Corporation Business Manager/Treasurer Anticipated Completion Date: July 1, 2023

FINDING 2020-002 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Shelly Harrison, Corporation Treasurer Contact Phone Number: 765-492-5102 Views of Responsible Official: We concur to the findings; however, while completing the ESSER Reports, some formatting errors of the provided spreadsheet created some questions by the North Vermillion officials prompting a clarification email to the DOE. Since the formatting errors were not addressed and all completed boxes on the North Vermillion ESSER Report spreadsheet turned green (indicating the correct amounts on the spreadsheet), the North Vermillion officials felt the ESSER report submitted was correct. Description of Corrective Action Plan: To correct the internal control issue, the Superintendent and Corporation Treasurer will work independently as well as collaboratively on the ESSER Reports. Prior to submitting any future report, the corporation officials will document their work by signing off and dating the report prior to submission to the DOE. To rectify the incorrect dollar amount on the Yearly ESSER Report Spreadsheet, the corporation treasurer and superintendent will work collaboratively to correct the amounts on either the ESSER I Year End Report and the ESSER II Year 2 and/or Year End Report. Anticipated Completion Date: Both the Internal Control and ESSER I corrective actions have been corrected, with the ESSER I Final Expenditure Report being completed and signed off on. The ESSER II corrective actions will be completed on the upcoming ESSER III Year End Report when that report is due.

2022-001 ? COVID-19 ? Education Stabilization Fund - Significant Deficiency in Reporting Recommendation: The School should assign an individual to monitor reporting requirements of HEERF awards to ensure the School is in compliance. Planned Action The School plans to review enhance processes related to HEERF reporting to ensure compliance with the requirement of Section 18004(e) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), Section314(e) of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) and 2 CFR sections 200.328 and 200.329.

Finding Number: 2022-004 Condition: The University did not file accurate and timely reports throughout the fiscal year. Planned Corrective Action: 1. The 9/30/21 HEERF institutional report was posted on the University?s website 10 days late. This was due to the staff member responsible going out on medical leave and miscommunication within the area on required filings. There were no additional quarterly reports to be filed so no further controls were put in place for this reporting. The annual report was filed timely. 2. The 9/30/21 institutional report has been removed from the University website as it indicated a duplicate expense that was reported on the 6/30/21 quarterly report. The 06/30/21 report has been marked as the final institutional report. 3. The Student Financial Aid (SFA) office agrees that the March 31, 2022, student website report did not include language regarding eligible students, and the reported student count was incorrect. SFA will amend the March 31, 2022, quarterly student report to reflect the correct number, add language regarding eligible students, and send the correction to the appointed HEERF email address by June 1, 2023. The Associate Director of Compliance and Training will perform a secondary review of any future reports to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the information. 4. The Student Financial Aid (SFA) office agrees that the 2021 annual report included the incorrect number of part-time graduate students who received an award, impacting the total number of students reported. The error was due to incorrectly inputting the information from the supporting data onto the annual report. SFA will amend the 2021 annual report by correcting the number of part-time graduate students by March 24, 2023. The Associate Director of Compliance and Training will perform a secondary review of the data on the annual report and compare it with the supporting documentation. 5. As indicated in the report, the University did comply with earmarking requirements. However, the categories used to report the expenditures on the 12/31/21 annual report were not the specific earmarked categories. The 12/31/21 annual report filed through the Department of Education website has just recently been made active again and the University will make necessary category reporting corrections. As the 12/31/21 annual report was the final report for institutional expenses no additional actions are required.

FINDING 2022-003 (Auditor Assigned Reference Number) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Monica Kegerreis, Assistant Superintendent Contact Phone Number: 574-831-2188 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: The ESSER reports requested by IDOE will follow the same procedures of all FER reports. The ?data collection? for the ESSER grants was not identified as a financial report, and thus did not follow these processes. Now that we know this is a financial report, the steps below will be followed. The grant was initially not set up correctly and expenses were expended to and then transferred to the correct accounts once the grants were set up correctly. These changes were in flux when the report was requested, so what was reported at the time of the report is no longer what is reflected in grants? ledgers. The corrective action will require that the program director gathers the initial data, the data will be reviewed by the administrative assistant to the grants? director, and then reviewed by the Treasurer. All three employees will sign/initial a printed copy of the report before it is submitted. Data regarding students served by programs and staff reports will be reviewed by the program director and the data specialist and signed off on by both parties to ensure accuracy.

Finding 2022-01: COVID1-19 Education Stabilization Fund, Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds ? Reporting Program: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Pass Through Entity: Not Applicable Assistance Listing Number: 84.425E, 84.425F Federal Award Number: P425E200445 Federal Award Year: June 30, 2022 Condition: The College did not post the required quarterly reports for the Student Portion. Additionally, during the audit, it was noted that the College was unable to provide a copy of the annual report and supporting documentation for the year ended December 31, 2021. Corrective Action Plan Management agrees with the finding, and is committed to strengthening its procedures to avoid similar issues in the future. Quarterly reports for the Student Portion have now been posted on the College website. Turnover in finance department staff resulted in difficulty locating copies of reports submitted by former staff. New staff will be trained on the Department?s HEERF requirements to ensure accurate and timely future reporting.

Additionally, management is responsible for evaluating and monitoring the department?s compliance with the terms and conditions of federal awards and taking prompt action when instances of noncompliance are identified. Federal Financial Reports, SF-425?s, are required to be submitted annually for each open grant award ninety days after the end of the federal fiscal year. The department did not submit SF-425?s for two of the four open grants for the federal fiscal period ended September 30, 2021. This is an improvement from the prior fiscal year when the department hadn?t submitted any of the SF-425 reports for open grants. Department management cited a federal reporting system issue where awards are not appropriately tied to the correct grant identification number, which has hindered their ability to submit financial reports. As a result, the department was not in compliance with financial reporting requirements in accordance with the terms and conditions of their grant agreements. We recommend department management work with their federal partners to determine if unsubmitted reports should be completed and to ensure reporting compliance in future fiscal periods. MANAGEMENT RESPONSE: We agree with this recommendation. OHCS submitted 2 of the 4 required reports but was unable to submit the remainder due to technical issues with the federal reporting system. OHCS compiled all requisite reporting information timely and is in correspondence with the federal funder to enable report submission.

Among other requirements, states are required to submit monthly financial reports to the CDC providing totals spent on travel, payroll, equipment, and other categories. During the fiscal year 2021 audit, we reported a material weakness relating to the accuracy of the amounts reported to the CDC. The same issue persisted throughout fiscal year 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the department had not taken the necessary actions to implement the prior recommendations and had not fully corrected the reports submitted in fiscal years 2021 and 2022. However, as of March 2023, the department had implemented the appropriate corrective actions and the previously inaccurate reports have been updated, including the reports for fiscal year 2022. Audit standards require that we report on the status as of June 30, 2022. We recommend department management maintain the necessary internal controls to ensure the monthly financial reports are accurate and agree to the accounting records. MANAGEMENT RESPONSE: We agree with this recommendation. As you note in your audit letter, our financial reporting accuracy had been remedied for all historical and current reports by March 2023. Unfortunately, these improvements were not in place by June 30, 2022 and, for that reason, a finding was noted. Corrective action plan: ? All monthly financial reporting has been assigned to our Fiscal Analyst ? The Fiscal Analyst submits monthly financial reports and the query used to generate the reports to the Office of Financial Services (OFS) for review and approval ? The Fiscal Analyst revises monthly financial reports based on OFS feedback ? Following OFS approval, monthly financial reports are entered into CAMP by an ELC administrative staff member and verified by a second team member Anticipated Completion Date: March 31, 2023 Contact: Merry Carlson, ELC Contracts Manager
