Corrective Action Plans

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Tina Gross Contact Phone Number: 317-945-4327 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with this finding, but would like to offer the following explanation: When ESSER funds first become available, there were no guidelines or restrictions that were made available. Instead, the districts were assigned swift deadlines in getting their spending plans submitted. The advice was, if you can link the request to COVID, and IDOE approves the request, then ESSER funds can be used. Months later, in an attempt to tighten things up, the school districts were presented with guidelines. This took place after all of the planning had already been done for all three grants and costs had already been incurred. The renovation cost in question was included in our spending plan submitted to IDOE through the Title Application Center. The following narrative was also submitted with the budget to IDOE as follows: ?We are also requesting $472,962.87 for a renovation project at our local Career Center, Central Nine in Greenwood. Franklin High School is one of eight sending schools for this career center. These renovations will add necessary classroom and lab space for the Diesel, Welding, and Dental programs. The renovations also include meeting space and restrooms. The total cost of Franklin Community Schools? portion of the project is estimated at $652,400, however, we are only requesting a portion of that in ESSER III funds and will cover the difference using district funds? IDOE approved the budget submitted, including this specific transaction. There was no reason for the district to think that this was an unallowable transaction. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The district is willing to transfer this expense to rainy day or operating funds if necessary. Anticipated Completion Date: 2-22-23

Corrective Action Plans: We acknowledge this finding, however the School District relied on the advance, written approval of Georgia Department of Education Federal Programs staff that our request was a proper use of federal funds and that we had all the documentation needed for this cost to be allowable. It was pointed out to us during the audit that the contract with the custodial staff did not have the language needed to cover the bonus to our custodial contract staff in the view of the Department of Audits. The Department took this position even though both parties agreed to these payments, the Board of Education voted to approve this expenditure, the agreement was documented and the Board of Education General Counsel concluded this was permissible under the Contract. In order to accommodate the Department?s concerns, the School District will monitor contracts to ensure that all expenditures are compliant with the School District?s purchasing policies and procedures as well as compliance requirements for the ESSER program.

FINDING 2022-002 Information on the federal program: Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) - Earmarking Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: Special Education Grants to States Assistance Listing Number: 84.027 Federal Award Number: 20611-001-PN01 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking Audit Findings: Significant Deficiency Condition: The School Corporation is a member of the Adams Wells Special Services Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal year 2021-2022, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all its member schools. As the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the school corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. There was inadequate oversight performed by the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with the Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking compliance requirement. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the earmarking requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for non-public school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure non-public school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. Context: The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 20611-001-PN01 grant award could not be verified for the individual member schools. Total non-public expenditures were posted as expended. The member school proportionate share expenditures were then determined by applying a budgeted percentage to the total non-public expenditures. These were the amounts reported to IDOE. As such, we were unable to identify if the minimum amount per member school was expended and properly reported to IDOE as required. The School Corporation?s Non-Public Proportionate Share for the 20611-001- PN01 grant application was $5,368. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Our corrective action plan is following the AWSSC plan of: Co-ops cannot combine proportionate share funds. Funds must be spent within each LEA?s geographic boundary. We will not receive a repeat finding for FY21. We will correct for FY22 and forward. Time & Effort Logs are being completed to show how many hours personnel are servicing Non-Pub school students with a service plan. If Materials and Equipment are purchased for a specific student?s need, per the service plan, then those expenditures are 100% school specific. Per the DOE, Materials used by our Speech Language Pathologist for Speech Therapy for all six school corporations, those expenditures are split evenly across all school corporations with a non-pub proportionate share allocation. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: The Superintendent and Corporation Treasurer will work with the Adams Wells Special Services Cooperative to monitor and verify those expenditures are allocated appropriately across all school corporations with a non-pub proportionate share allocation.

2022-049 Oregon Health Authority Return overdraw of reclassified FEMA expenditures Federal Awarding Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Assistance Listing Number and Name: 93.268 Immunization Cooperative Agreements (COVID-19); 93.323 Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (COVID-19) Federal Award Numbers and Years: 93.268: 5 NH23IP922626 (COVID-19); 93.268: 6 NH23IP922626 (COVID-19); 93.323: 6 NU50CK000541 (COVID-19) Compliance Requirement: Activities Allowed or Unallowed Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency, Noncompliance Prior Year Finding: N/A Questioned Costs: 93.268 - $36,783 (known) (COVID-19) 93.323 - $73,333 (known) (COVID-19) Criteria: 2 CFR 200.403 During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oregon Health Authority (department) spent money from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awards to address needs in addressing the pandemic. Due to delays in receiving federal reimbursement for the expenditures, the department reclassified the expenditures to other programs where reimbursements would occur timelier. In our testing of Activities Allowed or Unallowed, we reviewed two individually significant items in the accounting system reclassifying 398 and 914 individual expenditures from the FEMA grants to the Immunization Cooperative Agreements program and Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity program, respectively. Based upon the account coding of the original transactions, all of the reclassifications were allowable and consistent with program requirements. However, we found several transactions were reclassified twice, resulting in an excess of $36,783 charged to the Immunization program and $73,333 charged to the Epidemiology program. The reclassifications were completed in two batches and the managerial review of the reclassifying transactions failed to detect some transactions were included in both batches. We recommend department management correct the entries and reimburse excess cash drawn to the federal agency for unallowable costs. We also recommend department management revise the review procedures to verify that the same expenditure transactions are not duplicated in multiple batches. MANAGEMENT RESPONSE: We agree with this recommendation. Corrective action plan: ? The agency has reviewed the questioned costs and has corrected the entries with BTCL7084 and reimbursed the federal programs. ? The department has regular processes to review for duplicate adjusting entries. However, this process was missed for this entry. ? Department management will work with department staff to reinforce their understanding of the need to follow these processes to ensure transactions are not adjusted more than once.

Corrective Action Plans: We concur with this finding. A new Federal Programs Director began work during the period of the audit. The change in personnel coupled with the influx of new grants, large awards of grant dollars and new regulations and requirements contributed to the finding. To correct, staff meet and attend training on all federal grant funds received to ensure compliance on all reporting requirements. The federal programs director enters and monitors all grant budgets into the consolidated application and supplies all prior approval forms for those items for which it is required. The federal programs director also approves all purchase requisitions using federal funds before items can be purchased; she also reviews and approves request for reimbursement of federal funds before those funds are drawn down.

ALLOWABILITY OF EXPENDITURES Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) Assistance Listing Number 93.767 Microdyn OPPS quarterly updates for Pricer and Editor Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) are commonly received mid-month of the first month in the quarter after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services releases quarterly updates. During 2022, releases occurred on January 15, April 16, July 16, and October 19. Although updates to the DLL were completed timely throughout the year, claims sampled for the audit fell into the periods of delay between the first day of the quarter and the updates to the DLL. Procedures are in place to reprocess any affected claims once the quarterly updates have been uploaded into the system. However, there was an interruption in the procedure to reprocess claims after the quarterly updates were uploaded to the claims processing system. Corrective action has already been implemented that includes automatically opting and populating the "reprocess claims" flag in the Request Management System (RQMS) when the Microdyn OPPS updates are entered to work. (The RQMS is the system used to enter and manage work orders for the Medicaid Management Information System.) Claims processing staff at the fiscal agent have also entered calendar reminders to reprocess claims as necessary after the OPPS quarterly updates are processed. All affected claims including claims sampled for the Single Audit were reprocessed and paid from mid-December 2022 through mid-January 2023.
