Management response to finding 2023-001: Accuracy of expenditures on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and submission of special reports for the Head Start Program Cluster Name: Head Start Federal Awarding Agency: Department of Health and Human Services Award Name: Head Start and Early Head Start, COVID (P.L. 116-260) Award Number: 09CH010228-05-05, 09CH011831-02-03, 09HE000328-01-00 Award Years: 2019-2021, 2021-2022, 2021-2023 Assistance Listing Title: Head Start Assistance Listing Number: 93.600 Pass-through entities: Not applicable As described in finding 2023-001, the University inadvertently charged and drew down budgeted capital expenditures from Head Start awards before actual expenditures were incurred by the University. Additionally, the University charged expenditures to a Head Start award after liquidation extensions had expired. The adjustments required to correct these errors were identified in the subsequent fiscal year, resulting in expenditures on the fiscal year 2023 Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) being overstated. The University will take the necessary corrective actions as described below to ensure the accuracy of expenditures reported on the SEFA. Finally, as described in finding 2023-001, the University did not identify and track reports required to be submitted for Head Start awards. The corrective actions described below will ensure all award specific reporting requirements are met. Although the University has limited federal awards that are utilized to fund capital expenditures, the Office of Sponsored Projects Accounting and Facility Planning and Management will perform a full review of the current Head Start capital construction accounting policies and practices to ensure they comply with the Uniform Guidance and the terms and conditions of federal awards before June 30, 2024. Reinforcement of the University’s policies and practices will ensure proper grant accounting, and thus, will prevent SEFA reporting adjustments from having to be made. Faculty leadership responsible for overseeing the Head Start program at the University will fill current vacant financial management positions within the Head Start program as soon as possible (with a three month target), undergo a full review of program requirements with all staff, and modify and develop new internal controls related to this finding. Specifically, before July 2024, Head Start fiscal personnel along with faculty leadership will develop a reporting schedule specific to Head Start awards, provide training and resources to staff involved with reporting, implement internal controls related to the reconciliation and validation of reported data prior to report submission, and strengthen internal controls related to the allocability of expenditures to awards (particularly in situations where liquidation extensions or expenditure carry forwards have been granted).

Dear Mr. Waguespack, The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) acknowledges receipt of correspondence from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor dated January 4, 2024, regarding a reportable audit finding related to controls over reporting and other Federal compliance requirements for the Medicaid and CHIP programs at the LDH. The LDH appreciates the opportunity to provide this response to your office's findings. Finding: Inadequate Controls over Reporting and Other 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 to ensure Federal expenditures are accurately reported and should ensure all quarterly checklist reviews are completed. LDH Response: LDH partially concurs with the finding and recommendation. LDH disagrees that the quarterly checklist is intended to demonstrate compliance with the federal reporting requirements. The quarterly checklist is used to document and track the receipt of source documents from other departments so the fiscal staff can develop work papers for the federal expenditure reports. The checklists do not track the accuracy of the work papers. Additionally, the quarterly reconciliations purpose is to reconcile expenditures in the state's accounting system (LaGov) to the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program Budget and Expenditure System (MBES/CBES). During this audit period, LDH was in the process of reviewing the reconciliation procedures to transition from previous methods of reconciliation utilizing the old accounting system (ISIS) to LaGov. Although the duplication was identified through this Single State audit, LDH maintains it would have identified the duplicative entries during the annual grant award reconciliation process which would have been within the federal reporting timelines Corrective Action Plan: LDH will continue to build on the improvements already implemented to prevent Medicaid expenditure misstatements from recurring. As discussed with the Single State auditors, measures to increase operational accuracy were being worked on during the audit or are in the process of being developed. LDH management has already taken steps to implement a corrective action plan to strengthen the internal controls that will enhance the State Agency's preparation and review of the quarterly federal expenditure reports which includes a more thorough review of procedures to collect and review data from program offices and incorporate more cross training amongst the fiscal staff responsible for federal reporting. The anticipated completion date of this corrective action plan is April 30, 2024. You may contact Helen Harris, LDH Fiscal Director, by telephone at 225-342-9568 or by e-mail at helen.harris@la.gov with any questions about this matter.

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Carrie Alford Contact Phone Number and Email Address: (812)254-5536 calford@wcs.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding.

The university endeavors to follow all applicable reporting regulations and guidance mandated for federally funded grant and contract programs. The HEERF awards were fully expended as of June 30, 2022 for the Student Portion and as of September 30th, 2022 for the Institutional Portion. Should similar programs become available in the future, management will develop, in advance of expending funds, documented policies and procedures to administer the program and will maintain documentation demonstrating compliance with program requirements and related institutional policy and procedure. Specifically for the HEERF program that has ended, the university will amend relevant Quarterly report(s) and submit an Annual Report for 2022, as required and in consultation with the Department of Education on reporting timelines and processes for amended reports.

These reports will be reviewed by the Office of Financial Aid (for any student portion) and the Office of Institutional Research and the Business Office (for all portions, including any institutional funds). These offices will collaborate to implement a review procedure to ensure the reports are accurate, complete, submitted timely, and if required, posted publicly to the university’s website.

FINDING 2023-009 Finding Subject: COVID -19 - Education Stabilization Fund – Cash Management Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal control, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting noncompliance related to the Cash Management compliance requirement. Reimbursement requests for the programs were prepared by an employee and reviewed by another employee. While the School Corporation did have a process in place to review and approve reimbursement requests, not all reimbursement requests were traceable to the fund ledger and no audit evidence was provided to indicate the reviewer verified disbursements to the School Corporation records. Three of five reimbursement requests filed during the audit period were not traceable to the Schools Corporation’s fund ledger. Due to the lack of supporting documentation it was not possible to determine if grant payments were reimbursements of expenditures or advance payment of grant funds. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were systemic issues throughout the audit period. The noncompliance was isolated to three of the five reimbursement requests filed during the audit period.

Description of Corrective Action Plan: The same process will be in place to review and approve grant reimbursements. The Deputy Treasurer will verify with the person preparing the reimbursement that the proper accounting information is on the receipt and that it is then receipted into the correct account in the FMS System and sign off. The Corporation Treasurer will review all receipts and be the second signature. Each month the accounts will be checked for accuracy by the grants person and the Corporation Treasurer will again be the second check for accuracy. The grant person will verify that the reimbursements of expenditures or advance payments are clearly marked and accounted for in the FMS System and sign off.
