Finding 2023-001 A significant deficiency was issued related to procurement and suspension and debarment for the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education training grant agreement. We designed and placed into operation a control to ensure that covered transactions are not made with a debarred or suspended party. Strada Collaborative LLC (Collaborative), where applicable, has a standard addendum included within each vendor agreement in which the counterparty attests to suspension/debarment and such agreement is executed with a vendor before any invoice from that vendor is paid.  However, there was one occurrence for which a covered transaction was entered into without the execution of a formal agreement and addendum to obtain the counterparty’s attestation regarding suspension/debarment.  To ensure that covered transactions are not made with a debarred or suspended party, we are in the process of implementing control procedures to ensure that invoices payable to a subrecipient or contractor related to federal awards are supported by an executed agreement with the counterparty’s attestation regarding suspension/debarment.For such invoices submitted by Collaborative to the Accounts Payable Department (Strada AP) for payment, a copy of the agreement, including the addendum, that the invoice pertains to must be included in order to be routed for payment. Upon receipt by Strada AP of any such invoices submitted by Collaborative for payment, Strada AP will review to ensure that a copy of the relevant agreement is included with the submission.  If such invoice is submitted with a project code or customer code associated with a federal award, Strada AP will verify that the included agreement has an addendum with the partner's signed attestation.  If there is not an agreement included in the submission, or if there is not a signed addendum, Strada AP will reject routing  the invoice for payment and notify Collaborative.  In addition, Collaborative will immediately review the complete population of contractors/subrecipients with 2024 activity on open federal awards to ensure that for all active existing partners Collaborative has obtained an executed agreement with a signed addendum capturing the counterparty's attestation regarding suspension/debarment.  Any omissions will be followed up on by the federal award designated project director to obtain the partner's attestation regarding suspension/debarment or to otherwise independently verify that the partner is not debarred or suspended. John Morrical, Senior Auditor, is responsible for this Corrective Action Plan.The control will commence as of June 1, 2024.

First, we created a general ledger account for each bank account, which involved the rewrite of multiple processes, including changes in our software. We then needed to address reconciliation of past banking and general ledger transactions that were recorded using the old processes. To achieve this step, we contracted for accounting services with a firm independent of our auditors. This firm is reconciling every cash transaction in our general ledger going back to July l, 2022, to the present day. The third step of our plan involves contracting with this same firm to work with the County and its financial software company to set up our cash management software module so that we may eliminate the manual process by leveraging technology to reconcile our multiple bank accounts on a monthly basis.

The Authority will continue to monitor its policies and procedures in an effort to improve control efficiencies, however, at this time, the Authority has determined that the cost of eliminating the deficiency would exceed its benefit.

Effect - The District is not in compliance with grant requirements. Cause - Weaknesses in the formal documentation of internal controls. Questioned Costs - N/A Recommendation - We recommend the District ensure that written policies and procedures are compiled and adopted.

2023-002 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Recommendation: We recommend the County establish internal control procedures to ensure that all amounts charged to grant programs for employee payroll costs be reconciled to the specific employee payroll records and that supporting documentation be maintained throughout the grant award period and beyond. Views of responsible officials: Management concurs with the finding. There were minimal variances in the number of employees tested and the County believes the wage report discrepancies are isolated due to the complexity of the EMS salary structure. The County claimed $26,038,852 of the $37,618,256 total eligible expenses available. Action planned/taken in response to finding: Effective fiscal year 2024, Management will implement the following corrective action: The County will create a process to ensure the payroll wage reports generated by Human Resources agrees to support documentation. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action plan: Pete Winton Planned completion date for corrective action plan: The above action plan will be implemented in fiscal year 2024.

Finding #2023-003 - Material Adjustments (Prior year finding #2022-003) Condition: Johnson Block and Company, Inc. proposed numerous adjusting journal entries. We deem these entries to be significant in relation to the financial statements. Since the District did not make these adjustments in its accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness exists in the District’s internal controls. Effect: This means that the proper recording and reporting of financial information may not occur within a timely manner. Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and material adjustments were needed in order to correct various transactions. Criteria: Material adjusting journal entries not prepared by the District before the audit are considered an internal control weakness. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded in a timely manner. Response: The District will work to establish policies and procedures to reduce the number of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor.

Finding #2023-001 - Segregation of Duties (Prior year finding #2022-001) Condition: The limited size of the District’s office staff prevents the ideal separation of functions. The bookkeeper prints accounts payable checks, has access to the password to print electronic signatures and performs bank reconciliations. The bookkeeper also performed all payroll functions. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected on a timely basis. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Criteria: Checks and balances should be in place to allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct any misstatements on a timely basis. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented segregating duties among different employees. Management should continue to maintain a working knowledge of matters relating to the District’s operations. Response: We agree with this finding but do not believe it is cost effective to increase the office staff in an attempt to bring about a more effective segregation of duties. The Board reviews and approves all expenditures on a monthly basis prior to mailing accounts payable checks. Contact Person: John Costello Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable

Action taken in response to finding: Adjustments have been made to reflect the full spring break period in our return of funds process. The number of days campus is considered to be closed for spring break has been updated to nine days for Spring 2024. Spring terms in the future will be set up in Colleague with the day following the last day of classes prior to spring break as the first day of spring break and the day prior to the first day of classes after spring break as the last day of spring break. For 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, this equates to a nine-day spring break. All R2T4 calculations for Spring 2024 have been reviewed and recalculated using a nine-day spring break rather than a seven-day spring break. In communicating with Ellucian regarding the processing of R2T4, we discovered a report that we can run in Colleague to identify students that have withdrawn from all courses and will not complete any courses for the semester. This will be used instead of the report made in house, previously utilized for this process. A financial aid staff member will run the report and perform the R2T4 calculations in Colleague. Then the staff member that performed the calculations will run the Return of Funds Detail Report in Colleague, indicate on that report that they performed the calculations, and send the report to the Director of Financial Aid. The Director will review the Return of Funds Detail Report and the calculations. The Director will sign off on the Return of Funds Detail Report approving the calculations. The report will then be saved in the Return of Funds folder in the Financial Aid Files. All Financial Aid staff members will be trained and have the ability to perform R2T4 calculations to ensure that the calculations can be performed regularly prior to each student refund date during the term. All R2T4 calculations for the 2023-2024 school year have been reviewed for accuracy. Calculations performed for the fall 2023 semester have been reviewed by the Director of Financial Aid for accuracy. Due to short staffing in the Financial Aid Office in the spring semester, and remaining staff not being trained on the R2T4 process, calculations for the Spring 2024 semester were performed by the Director of Financial Aid. To ensure the accuracy of the calculations, the calculations were checked using the R2T4 calculation tool in COD (Common Origination Disbursement).

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE Riverside School District No. 416 September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023 This schedule presents the corrective action the District is planning to take for findings included in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2023-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with wage rate requirements. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Lisa Bjorklund, Business Manager Riverside School District No. 416 34515 N Newport Hwy Chattaroy, WA 99003-9734 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: In the future the district will comply with the federal prevailing wage requirements as part of our internal control process. Riverside will provide a weekly statement for all federal prevailing wage contracts; contracts will have all applicable Davis Bacon language in the contract prior to the start of any work. Riverside will comply with all applicable under Title 2 CFR Part 200, Title 29 CFR Section 3.3, and Title 29 CFR Section 5.5.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE Rochester School District No. 401 September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023 This schedule presents the corrective action planned by the District for findings reported in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2023-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with allowable activities and costs, and restricted purpose requirements. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Jill Pratt, Business Manager 10140 Hwy 12 SW Rochester, WA 98579 360-273-5536 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: We do not concur with the finding because 1,898 students were identified as having “unmet need” and 1,000 Chromebooks were purchased with grant funds. However, in the future we will document our processes differently. The District did conduct a survey of families and identified 1,898 students were in need of a school issued device. This grant purchased 1,000 Chromebooks. Every student in Rochester received a district issued Chromebook. In our inventory process, we did not tie the newly purchased Chromebooks to students identified as having a need; however, all those in need received a district device. Even though we locally determined every student had a need in order to succeed at remote learning, moving forward, we will ensure the federally purchased devices are checked out specifically to those determined to have an “unmet need” based on the federal definition. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: We will work with the FCC to resolve this issue according to their timeline.

Performance Reporting Federal Program: American Relief Plan Act (ARPA) ALN 21.027 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Federal Award Year: 2021 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance Individual Responsible: Stephanie Sarrionandia, Finance Director The City of San Benito has identified turnover in the finance department and city administration staff as the root cause of failure to submit reports on time, due to a lack of sufficient staff members with access to the system for report submission. Corrective Actions:  Designated Access: During the 2024 Fiscal Year, the City ensured that at least three employees were designated to have access to the required information and system for report submission. Additionally, the City maintained a roster of designated employees which ensured coverage during staff transitions.  Cross-Training Program: During the 2024 Fiscal Year, the City implemented a comprehensive cross-training program to ensure all designated employees had a thorough understanding of reporting guidelines and procedures. Additionally, the City documented standard operating procedures for report submission and ensured they were readily available to all designated staff members.  Designated Responsibility: During the 2024 Fiscal Year, the City designated specific individuals to be responsible of overseeing report submission deadlines to ensure compliance. Additionally, the City established clear communication channels for reporting deadlines and responsibilities to designated staff members. By following this plan, the City of San Benito has addressed the issue of delayed report submissions and ensured smoother operations despite turnover in staff. Date corrective action plan was implemented: October 01, 2023.
