Finding 2024-003 – Fiscal Management (Material Weakness) CFDA Title and Number: 20.513 (5310) Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities. Name of Federal Agency: Department of Transportation Internal Control over Compliance: Cash Management CFDA Title and Number: 20.509 (5311) Operating Assistance. Formula Grants for Rural. Name of Federal Agency: Department of Transportation Internal Control over Compliance: Cash Management Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200.302(b)(1) The financial management system of each non-federal entity must provide for the following: Identification, in its accounts, of all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received. 200.302(b)(2) Accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each Federal award or program in accordance with the reporting requirements set forth in 200.328 and 200.329. Condition: During portions of the fiscal year, the District prepared reimbursement calculations relying on an internally developed spreadsheet tool, rather than using amounts solely obtained from the general ledger and supporting documentation. The reimbursement reports were prepared by management with limited review. Conflicts over review and other monitoring procedures occurred, and were not always resolved. Complete supporting documentation for the claimed costs were not always available. Claims and other financial reports due to ODOT were regularly submitted after the due dates. The late and/or unsubstantiated filings have resulted in lost claims for the District, and potential refunding of reimbursements received. Cause: Internal control procedures assuring timely and accurate preparation of reports and filing of the reimbursement requests were not designed or implemented adequately. Maintaining sufficient and accurate supporting documentation for each report was not possible because original data was not relied upon by management, to complete the reports and reimbursement requests. Effect or Potential Effect: The lack of effective internal control activities over cash management, including financial reporting, allowed for reporting and claims errors, from simple calculation errors to requests for reimbursements of unauthorized purposes. Improper financial reporting to the ODOT occurred regularly. Lack of timely filing of reimbursement requests for amounts claimed, resulted in lost revenues and claims that may be required to be returned. Questioned Cost: No Context: Delays in filing reimbursement claims, delays in filing financial reports to ODOT, and internal disputes regarding completion of grant reimbursement request procedures were evident. Weak or nonexistent controls over cash management, including fiscal management, may result in lost revenues and risks of creating unnecessary liabilities in the form of refunds due to ODOT.  Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: Yes Recommendation: The District should design and implement internal control policies and procedures for cash management, including fiscal management and financial reporting. Monitoring, information and communication control activities should also be designed and implemented as part of the effort the reduce the risk of continued matters of noncompliance related to cash management. District's Response: The District acknowledges the weaknesses and its intention of correcting weaknesses. Corrective Action Plan: The District’s General Manager resigned effective September 13, 2024. The Board has adopted a plan to procure qualified professional assistance to evaluate and restructure the organization and assist in daily management activities until a new General Manager can be hired and trained. Additional assistance for resolving these deficiencies has been offered by ODOT and accepted by the Board. Planned Implementation Date: October 31, 2024 Responsible Persons: District Board, Umpqua Public Transit District

FINDING 2024-005 Finding Subject:. The School Corporation was required to submit annual data reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JotForm, a form/report builder. Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. During the audit period, the School Corporation was required to submit five annual data reports as outlined below. Fund Applicable Reporting Period ESSER I July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022 ESSER II July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022 ESSER III July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022 ESSER II July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023 ESSER III July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023 All five annual data reports were selected for testing. Two of the five annual data reports did not include the correct expenditure information. Specifically the ESSER II and ESSER III annual data reports with an applicable reporting period of July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, did not include expenditure data for this period. Instead, the annual reports incorrectly reported expenditures from the previous period of July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Greg Elkins, CFO Contact Phone Number and Email Address: (317) 485-3100, greg.elkins@mvcsc.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We agree with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Since the conclusion of the 2020-2022 SBOA audit, the CFO and Corporation Treasurer have archived numerous email threads and other evidence of communication which documents the process for pulling ESSER financial data from the Skyward Finance system and submitting the required reports. This documentation shows the CFO and Treasurer regularly communicating, checking and rechecking the data, and verifying the timely submission of that data. The school received periodic requests from the Indiana Department of Education, Office of Federal Grants asking it to submit financial data for all ESSER funds. Originally, the data requests were submitted through JotForms which do not have the capability of notifying any individuals other than the recipient. The school was required to create its own documents for proof of submission and did so. In subsequent requests, IDOE provided Excel spreadsheets to be completed and returned electronically. Those emails and spreadsheets have been curated by the school. The school has documented unclear instructions provided by IDOE, the pass through agency. The school accepts responsibility to report grant activity for the federally required reporting periods regardless. The school will ask for explicit instructions from IDOE and reconfirm the reporting data required and time period(s) in question. This additional layer of internal controls will be added to the process currently utilized by the CFO and Corporation Treasurer. The school has not expended any dollars from any ESSER fund since 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: TBD based on when the next reporting submission is requested by IDOE (all ESSER grants activities have ceased and the funds have been closed out locally.)

To address the increase in the Organization’s activities under this program, the Certified Management Accountant of Weavers Way Community Fund, Inc. will send a performance report to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Dear Mr. Waguespack: The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) acknowledges receipt of correspondence from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor (LLA) dated January 27, 2025 regarding a reportable audit finding related to Inadequate Controls over Reporting and Matching Federal Compliance Requirements for the Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Programs. LDH appreciates the opportunity to provide this response to your office’s findings. Finding: Inadequate Controls over Reporting and Matching Federal Compliance Requirements for the Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Programs Recommendation: LDH management should strengthen controls over preparation and review of the quarterly federal expenditure reports and quarterly adjustments to ensure federal expenditures are accurately reported. In addition, LDH management should incorporate a reconciliation of federal expenditures in the financial statements to federal expenditures reported to CMS. LDH Response: LDH Management concurs that controls over preparation and review of the quarterly federal report were insufficient and should be strengthened. LDH Management recognizes its responsibility to accurately report financial data, while also acknowledging that staffing shortages and inadequate/insufficient training resulted in less-than-ideal reporting conditions creating limited knowledge and experience with the data and reporting requirements and adequate time for thorough reviews for this reporting year. Corrective Action Plan: LDH Fiscal Management in collaboration with our contracted consultants are working towards updating standard operating procedures to include the review process as well as training for the preparer and reviewers of the work. Also, a development of a reconciliation to capture all reporting in MBES in comparison to LaGov is being created. The corrective action plan completion date to address this is anticipated for completion during the April 2025 federal reporting period. Clinton Summer, Accountant Manager 4/Comptroller for Medicaid Financial Reporting and Helen Harris, Deputy Undersecretary 2/Fiscal Director, are responsible for the execution and implementation of this corrective action. You may contact Clinton Summers, Accountant Manager 4 at (225) 342-5701 or via email at Clinton.Summers@la.gov or Helen Harris, LDH Fiscal Director, at (225) 342-9568 or via email at Helen.Harris@la.gov with any questions about this matter.

Dear Mr. Waguespack: The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) acknowledges receipt of correspondence from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor (LLA) dated February 3, 2025 regarding a reportable audit finding related to the Office of Public Health (OPH) – Inadequate Controls over and Noncompliance with Federal Financial Reporting. LDH appreciates the opportunity to provide this response to your office’s findings. Finding: Inadequate Controls over and Noncompliance with Federal Financial Reporting Recommendation: OPH should design and implement controls to ensure all information contained in the financial reports submitted to Federal agencies is accurate, current, and complete for the reporting period covered under the report. LDH Response: LDH Fiscal Management recognizes its responsibility to accurately report financial data, however, LDH Fiscal Management does not concur with the finding of Inadequate Controls over and Noncompliance with Federal Financial Reporting (FFR) due to immateriality of the questioned expenses. The expenses in question reported on the Federal Financial Report were eligible grant expenses for this award. LDH Fiscal understood the expenses in question to be related to the same award that was ending 6/30/24, but received a No Cost Extension through 12/31/2024. After consulting with the grantor on this matter, the grantor conveyed that reporting these eligible expenditures earlier than the No Cost Extension date was not a material concern and would not require a revised FFR for this period, as the main concern is that they were eligible expenses and would be included in the final FFR. Total expenses in question ($142,568) represent approximately .3% of the cumulative expenses reported on the Federal Financial Report ($42M) as of 06/30/2024; therefore, the stance of LDH is the amount in question is immaterial and does not misstate the Federal Financial Report. Corrective Action Plan: Procedures and internal training currently exist for fiscal team members on completing Federal Financial Reports. A corrective action plan to reiterate and reinforce the understanding of various reporting periods to include No Cost Extension and liquidation periods to the preparers and reviewers of the FFR’s to mitigate this occurrence was implemented immediately. Quintesah Syas, Accountant Manager 4/Comptroller within the LDH Fiscal Office for Office of Public Health Financial Reporting and Helen Harris, Deputy Undersecretary 2/LDH Fiscal Director are responsible for the execution and implementation of this corrective action and may be contacted with any questions about this matter. You may contact Quintesah Syas Accountant Manager 4/Comptroller, within the LDH Fiscal Office for Office of Public Health Financial Reporting at (225) 342-9333 or via email at Quintesah.Syas@la.gov, or Helen Harris), Deputy Undersecretary 2/LDH Fiscal Director at (225) 342-9568 or via email at Helen.Harris@la.gov with any questions about this matter.

Meridian Street, Suite 150 Indianapolis, IN 46260 Timothy L Johnson Academy Elementary school has already taken the following actions to address the FY2024 finding of noncompliance with Federal grant awards: 1. We transitioned to a new business services provider in FY2025, and part of that transition included a complete overhaul of our grants management. 2.

This already allows us to better track the differences in our reimbursement-based grants, cash-basis state reporting, and GAAP-based accounting principles. 3. We also now have a more transparent school-level view of all our grants, which adds a level of control while working with an outsourced business and grants service provider. 4. Dawn Starks and Brad Yoder were responsible on the school side for these procedure changes. Brian Anderson and Kim Tarin from the Center for Innovative Education Solutions were responsible for this as the new business and grants services provider.
