2025-003 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Assistance Listing Number 21.027 Recommendation: We recommend procedures be strengthened to ensure that charges to the grant program are obligated and/or incurred within the period of performance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The City acknowledges the finding related to documentation supporting the period of performance for expenditures reported under the SLFRF revenue loss category. Because the City applied the standard allowance for revenue loss and did not track specific expenditures to the grant at the transaction level, some expenditures initially provided for testing were outside the period of performance, although sufficient eligible expenditures existed within the allowable period. To address this issue, the Finance Department will implement procedures to maintain supporting schedules identifying government service expenditures incurred within the applicable period of performance that support amounts reported under the revenue loss category. Finance will also implement a review process to verify that expenditures identified for compliance or audit testing meet applicable period of performance and obligation requirements. These procedures will strengthen documentation and ensure expenditures supporting SLFRF revenue loss are clearly identified and supported for compliance purposes. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Michael Tucker, Deputy Finance Director Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Implemented immediately and effective for all current and future federal awards.

2025-002 Special Education Cluster - Assistance Listing Number 84.027, 84.173 Recommendation: We recommend procedures be strengthened to ensure that charges to the grant program are incurred within the period of performance included in the grant award. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The City will implement procedures to ensure that expenditures charged to federal awards are incurred within the approved period of performance in accordance with 2 CFR §§ 200.308, 200.309, and 200.403. The School Department will enhance its grant monitoring procedures by maintaining a tracking schedule of grant periods of performance and reviewing invoices and payment requests for compliance with grant award dates prior to processing. School Department Finance staff will also provide guidance to departments administering grants to ensure expenditures are incurred and submitted within the allowable grant period. These procedures will strengthen internal controls and reduce the risk of expenditures being charged outside the approved period of performance. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Brian Cisneros, Business Administrator Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Implemented immediately and effective for all current and future federal awards.

Description of Corrective Action Plan: To address the material weakness regarding grant fund adjustments and questioned costs, the School Corporation is implementing a specific protocol for Journal Entry Adjustments: Adjustment Substantiation: Future transfers of expenditures into grant funds (adjustments) will require a complete "Adjustment Packet" before processing. This packet must include the original source documentation (vendor invoice or original payroll distribution report) proving where the expenditure was originally paid and the amount. Certification: The Grant Manager and Chief Financial Officer will review the Adjustment Packet to verify the expenditure is allowable under the grant terms. Both will physically sign the packet to authorize the transfer. Retention: This signed packet will be attached to the Journal Entry in the financial system to serve as the permanent audit trail, ensuring that the "who, what, and where" of every adjustment is preserved for future verification.

Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. Corrective Action Plan – Audit Finding (FY 2023–2024) • Revision of Written Procedures o The Rensselaer Central, in coordination with Cooperative School Services, will revise and implement written procedures governing the administration of proportionate share funds for non-public schools to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements. (see IDEA Procurement Plan Earmarking for Non Pub CEIS Funds hyperlinked above) • Strengthening Internal Controls o Additional internal controls will be implemented requiring review and approval by the Director of Special Education, Bookkeeper, and Rensselaer Central Treasurer prior to any reimbursement related to non-public school expenditures funded through the Special Education grant. • Reimbursement Process Changes o Non-public schools will no longer receive reimbursements directly from Cooperative School Services. Cooperative School Services will receive approval and verification from the Non-Public School LEA. o All reimbursement requests must include detailed documentation demonstrating that the expenditure directly benefits eligible non-public school students receiving special education services. • Allowable Cost Verification o Rensselaer Central and Cooperative School Services will implement a verification process to ensure all expenditures comply with federal allowable cost requirements and that funds are used solely for the benefit of eligible non-public school students. • Staff Training o Rensselaer Central and Cooperative School Services personnel responsible for federal grant oversight will receive training on federal grant compliance requirements, including allowable and unallowable expenditures (e.g., gift cards and similar incentives). • Monitoring and Oversight o Rensselaer Central will conduct periodic monitoring of expenditures made on its behalf by Cooperative School Services and maintain documentation demonstrating compliance with oversight responsibilities. • Implementation Timeline o These corrective actions and revised procedures have already been implemented and will apply to all future federal Special Education grant expenditures. • Ongoing Compliance Monitoring o Rensselaer Central and Cooperative School Services will conduct annual reviews of federal grant expenditures and internal controls to ensure continued compliance with IDOE and federal grant requirements. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Corrective action plan has been implemented as this finding impacted fiscal year 2024 but did not recur in fiscal year 2025. The Director of Special Education, Cooperative School Services Bookkeeper, and Rensselaer Central Treasurer will oversee the corrective action plan to monitor the eligibility requirements on an ongoing basis.

Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Cooperative maintains a tracking spreadsheet to monitor hours worked by staff providing services to non-public students. Staff member will record K-12 and preschool hours separately on their Time and Effort Log. The Cooperative will then document these hours, distinguishing between Part B funds and Preschool funds. For kindergarten-aged students, the Speech-Language Pathologist will collaborate with the Student Record Administrative Assistant to identify students eligible under Section 5a (619 funding). Specifically, these are kindergarten students who are not yet six years old as of December 1. Such students are funded through both the 611 and 619 grants. Time and effort for preschool students, including 5a students, will be prioritized to the 619 grant until its allocated funds are fully expended. Once the 619 funds are exhausted, effort will be shifted to the 611 grant accordingly. Proportionate share reports will be based on actual expenditures within the six-month period, as reflected in our tracking spreadsheet. This process will be corrected for FY 2023 (611 and 610) and FY 2024 (611 and 910) to ensure compliance and prevent recurrence of similar findings in the next audit cycle.

Information on the federal program : Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster (CNC) Federal Agency: Department of Agriculture Federal Program: School Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program Assistance Listing Number: 10.553, 10.555 Federal Award Numbers and Years (Or Other Identifying Numbers): FY23-FY24, FY24-FY25 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Activities Allowed and Unallowed, Allowable Costs Audit Findings: Material Weakness, Other Matters Condition : The School Corporation did not have adequate internal controls in place to ensure that the School Corporation complied with the allowable cost requirements. Context : During our testing of the School Corporation’s compliance with the allowable cost requirements for the Child Nutrition Cluster (CNC), we tested 40 vendor disbursement transactions and 40 payroll disbursement transactions and identified the following exceptions: 1. For one vendor disbursement, the School Corporation incorrectly recorded the disbursement for $820 to Fund 800 (School Lunch Fund) that should have been recorded to Fund 300 (Operations Fund), resulting in an unallowable cost being charged to the food service fund. 2. For one payroll disbursement, the School Corporation inaccurately entered the number of hours worked by a cafeteria employee for one pay period, resulting in an overpayment to the employee by $5,568. The employee notified the School Corporation of the overpayment and remitted the overpayment back to the School Corporation. These errors were attributable to deficiencies in the internal controls over the review and approval of vendor and payroll expenditures. Views of Responsible Official : We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan : Management will enhance controls and review processes surrounding vendor and payroll expenditures charged to the Child Nutrition. The Food Service Director will be receiving periodic reports to review expenditures charged to the CNC to monitor charged costs. The payroll exceptions report is now checked by the Executive Assistant and Payroll. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion : Immediately corrected

Information on the federal program: Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) – Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Programs: Special Education Grants to States, Special Education Preschool Grants Assistance Listing Numbers: 84.027, 84.027X, 84.173, 84.173X Federal Award Numbers and Years (or Other Identifying Numbers): 22611-047-PN01, 22611-047-ARP, 22619-047-ARP, 24611-047-PN01 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation to ensure compliance with requirements related to the Special Education Cluster program and Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs compliance requirements. Context: During fiscal year 2023-2024, the School Corporation was a member of Cooperative School Services (Cooperative). The Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of its member schools. As the grant agreement was between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. For costs related to non-public schools, the practice of the Cooperative was to separate out the required amount for each member school from the Cooperative budget, and the member schools would work with the non-public schools to determine how to spend their proportionate share amount. Each member school would then request reimbursement from the Cooperative for non-public school expenditures incurred. This allowed both the Cooperative and member schools to maintain control of all Special Education funds, property, equipment and supplies. In the initial sample of 25 expenditures, there was no noncompliance identified. However, while performing a review of separate transactions for the Period of Performance compliance requirement, it was noted that non-public schools received direct reimbursements from the Cooperative for their proportionate share expenditures, which is not allowable under the grant award. The audit team reviewed the expenditure population in entirety and identified a total of 5 expenditures, totaling $17,857, that were made from Special Education funds directly to non-public schools by the cooperative during the audit period. The lack of controls and noncompliance was an isolated to the 22611-047-PN01, 22611-047-ARP, 22619-047-ARP and 24611-047-PN01 grant awards. This issue was isolated to fiscal year 2024. No direct payments to non-public schools were identified during fiscal year 2025. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management concurs with the finding. During the required consultation meeting involving the Local Educational Agency (LEA), representatives from private schools, and the parents or legal guardians of nonpublic students with disabilities, the agenda will cover both allowable and un-allowed costs. The meeting agenda will clearly outline that all purchased items are the responsibility of the LEA, that gift cards are prohibited, and that all acquisitions must provide direct benefit to students with disabilities. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Corrective action plan has been implemented as this finding impacted fiscal year 2024 but did not recur in fiscal year 2025. Sarah Claton, Cooperative School Services Director, and Tracy Albertson, Director of Finance, will oversee the corrective action plan to monitor the cooperative on an ongoing basis.

Training and Guidance for Staff: All personnel involved in grant management, accounting, and capital project administration will receive updated training on Cost Principles under 2 CFR 200.400-200.406, with emphasis on allocability, reasonableness, and the proper handling of applicable credits. 4. Ongoing Monitoring and Review: Quarterly internal compliance reviews will be conducted to confirm adherence to the new procedures, and corrective measures will be taken immediately if discrepancies are identified. The College is committed to ensuring full compliance with federal regulations and strengthening internal controls to safeguard all funding sources. We appreciate the opportunity to improve our processes and will implement the recommended procedures to ensure the integrity of future federal program expenditures.

Insufficient Supporting Documentation of Disbursements Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing of disbursements, we noted 1 of 26 disbursements tested where the University did not have adequate documentation to support why the disbursement was charged to the grant. As a result of this condition, there is an increased risk of unallowable expenses being charged to the grant, inaccurate financial reporting, and other potential noncompliance with federal regulations. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the University establish formal procedures to ensure all expenses charged to grants have adequate support and reviewed and approved by management. Corrective Action. The University will establish formal procedures to ensure all expenses charged to grants have adequate support and reviewed and approved by management. Responsible Person.

Upon identifying potentially unauthorized and fraudulent fund requests, all program office access to the USIO bank portal was immediately suspended. USIO debit card loads were centralized, and this process remains in place. b. Nine staff potentially involved in those activities were placed on leave during the investigation; five were eventually terminated. Following investigations, the IRC has made significant changes in leadership in structure in Northern California. By the end of June 2026, new Finance, Operations, and Program Delivery leadership will be in place, and the office will be broken down into two smaller offices, each with its own Executive Director. c. Working visits and in-person training on fraud prevention have been and will continue to be delivered to reinforce IRC’s compliance standards in all offices engaged in direct client payments. Additionally, network wide training are being provided focused on on compliance, CFR and fraud prevention for all staff. New policies on pre-paid cards and gift cards have also been issued. d. A Financial Analyst position was created under the RAI Head of Finance to focus on compliance. The analyst performs quarterly sample-based spot checks across all U.S. network offices, randomly selecting transactions for end-to-end review, including USIO payments. An automated tool also flags potential non-compliance issues such as irregular p-card payments and gift card purchases – vulnerabilities that could be exploited in NorCal-like situations. The RAI Head of Finance then compiles quarterly compliance reports for office leadership, highlighting areas for improvement. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026
