Program: AL 84.287 – Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers – Subrecipient Monitoring Corrective Action Plan: The NDE was provided written guidance from the U.S. Department of Education (USED) regarding source documentation required for the NDE’s review of preliminary documentation required to make payment whereas this effort is not associated with the NDE’s Grant Compliance Section performing the fiscal monitoring activities applying the required pass-through activities contained within 2 CFR 200.332. To make payment, the USED guidance states, “Uniform Guidance does not require the NDE to obtain specific source documentation from its subrecipient prior to making payments and the NDE’s Grant Guidance states that for certain reimbursement requests, such as credit card purchases, travel expenses, and personal reimbursements, subrecipient are always required to submit supporting documentation. For other expenditures, including personnel costs, and time and effort certification, supporting documents need to be retained by the subrecipient for at least three years and must be available for auditing and monitoring purposes”. For the reimbursement request tested to make payment, additional source documentation was acquired from the subrecipient upon the APA’s request and submitted for review on March 1, 2024.

2023-003 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management Response: Management concurs with the recommendation above. Management will ensure policies and procedures over financial reporting which capture all required adjustments necessary to fairly present consolidated financial statements.

Finding: 2023-001: SEFA – Material Weakness The SEFA prepared by management included an incorrect Assistance Listing (AL) number for one grant. Federal grant AL NO. 20.513 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities was incorrectly identified as AL No 20.507 Mobility Management. While both grants are from the Federal Transit Agency, they fall under different clusters in the Office of Management and Budget’s Compliance Supplement and thus have different audit requirements. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend management verify with the grantor the AL number of the grant. This can be done by obtaining the information from grant documents, or direct communication with the grantor. We further recommend the SEFA be reviewed for accuracy by an individual not included in the SEFA preparation process. Review should be notate with initials and date. Contact Person Responsible for the Corrective Action: Lisa Cappellari, Chief Financial Officer, LisaC@paratransit.org Management Response and Corrective Action Plan: After the end of Fiscal Year 23-24 on 6/30/2024, Jody Wadley, Finance and Grants Manager, will start the preparation of the FY24 SEFA and make sure all components are correct. Lisa Cappellari, Chief Financial Officer, will review the SEFA for accuracy, checking grant documents and directly contacting the granting agency if necessary. Once each component of the SEFA is thoroughly reviewed, Lisa Cappellari will initial and date.

Finding Number: 2022-002 Condition: The Corporation did not prepare a complete and accurate SEFA for the year ended June 30, 2021. Planned Corrective Action: While technically considered a significant deficiency and audit finding in accordance with CFR guidance for federal award audit compliance purposes, management considers this finding to be an isolated incident. Management had prepared and provided a SEFA summary that properly identified all federal funding, including all of the CARES Act funding, received as of June 30, 2021. Management also prepared and provided information regarding amounts of the CARES Act funding expended and recognized as revenue within the financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2021. However, there was interpretation that the amount that was supposed to be reported for the CARES Act funding on the SEFA for the period ended June 30, 2021, should be the amount expended and recognized as revenue as of the financial statements ended June 30, 2020, to align with the Period 1 portal reporting. As such, the amount reported for the final SEFA used for the June 30, 2021 compliance audit excluded $1,271,104 that was appropriately reported as deferred grant revenue liability as of June 30, 2020. The amount of CARES Act funding for the Period 1 portal reporting correctly included the $1,271,104. There was a significant amount of collective confusion regarding the Period 1 CARES Act portal reporting which was for the period ended June 30, 2020, in relation to the SEFA reporting and compliance audit reporting for that same period of time, which was unusually deferred by the federal government from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021. The results of the auditors procedures demonstrated that all the information management populated in the CARES Act portal for the June 30, 2020 reporting compliance Period 1 was accurate and that there were no other findings.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN February 3, 2023 Crossroads Rehabilitation Center, Inc. respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Greenwalt CPAs 5432 West Vermont Street Indianapolis, IN 46224 Audit Period: Year ending June 30, 2022 The findings from the June 30, 2022, Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. MATERIAL WEAKNESS Finding 2022-001 Criteria: According to 2 CFR 200.508(a), the auditee must prepare appropriate financial statements, including the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (SEFA) in accordance with 2 CFR 200.510. As instructed in the OMB Compliance Supplement, Provider Relief Funds (PRF) should be reported on the SEFA based on upon the PRF report that is required to be submitted to the HRSA reporting portal. For example, PRF funds received in period 2 (July 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020) should be reported on the SEFA for the fiscal year ends of December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2022. Condition: Federal awards totaling $332,841, including Provider Relief Funds received in period 2 of $178,159, were excluded from the SEFA. Cause: Crossroads had significant turnover within the accounting department and the new personnel had not been aware of the PRF funds received in a prior fiscal year. In addition, there was no overlap in the CFO position to provide for a smooth transition. Effect: An audit adjustment was made to report the three awards on the SEFA totaling $332,841. Recommendation: We recommend that Crossroads retain documentation regarding the information used to prepare the SEFA, along with notes for future years to assist with future personnel transitions. Planned Corrective Action: Crossroads will update policies, procedures and document retention plans to ensure that data is easily accessible. Instructions for completion of all audit related reports will be maintained and available to all finance personnel. Finding 2022-002 Criteria: Accounting reconciliations and supporting documentation should agree to the general ledger and be prepared and reviewed timely. Condition: Investment reconciliations, bad debt analysis and contributions receivable reconciliations had not been performed until requested during the audit. In addition, accounts receivable aging reports and depreciation reports did not agree to the general ledger. Cause: There was significant turnover within the accounting department during the year, including the Financial Accounting Manager and CFO positions. In addition, there was no overlap within the CFO position to provide for a smooth transition. This was the first-year end closing for both individuals in those positions. Effect: Audit adjustments were made resulting in a decrease of assets of approximately $4,700,000, a decrease in liabilities of approximately $400,000, and a decrease in net assets of approximately $4,300,000. Recommendation: We recommend that Crossroads create a schedule of all year-end reconciliations that need to be performed to ensure that required reconciliations are performed and reviewed timely. Planned Corrective Action: The lack of documentation and training of the Financial Accounting Manager for year-end closing processes prior to the former CFO?s departure left a significant knowledge gap. This also hindered the ability of the current CFO, who joined the organization 2 months prior to year-end, to be able to provide the required information or perform the necessary reconciliations. Going forward, all processes for month-end and year-end will be documented and followed. Accounts will be reconciled and reviewed on a monthly/quarterly/yearly basis as determined by the materiality of the account. If there are any questions regarding this plan, please contact Techia Brewer, CFO, at tbrewer@eastersealscrossroads.org.
