Program: AL 84.425U – COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund – American Rescue Plan – Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ARP ESSER) – Reporting Corrective Action Plan: We are constantly reviewing policy and procedures to ensure internal controls are in compliance with federal regulations. All contracts pass a legal and fiscal review prior to finalizing the agreement. If fiscal reviewer believes the nature of the agreement casts the entity as a subrecipient, then the fiscal reviewer will ask the agreement owner seeking review to further identify if the agreement is a contractor or subrecipient determination based on 2 CFR Chapter I, Chapter II, Part 200 et al. If determined a subrecipient agreement, then further information will be collected from the agreement owner to be incorporated into the agreement and made available for FFATA and fiscal monitoring purposes.

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.

Second SPED subrecipient – Because the UNL utilizes PVS as allowed by 2 CFR 200.430 in regard to salary and wage benefit costs for employees working on a project under a contractual grant agreement, the NDE going forward will require PVS supporting documentation be submitted as a minimum semi-annually for each contract to verify the salary and benefit costs being requested for reimbursement as recommended by the U.S. Department of Education beginning with any payments occurring after March 1, 2023. Third SPED subrecipient – The documentation to support the review of purchased services and supplies during fiscal monitoring was provided to the APA on March 4, 2024. Single Audits – The Director of Grants Management and Director of Grants Compliance will work collaboratively to ensure all subrecipient audits are reviewed and applicable management decision letters are issued within the requested timeframe.

Finding #2023-001 - Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2022-001) Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the control areas reviewed. 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. Cause: A small number of individuals within the District's administration perform substantially all accounting functions and have control over both records and assets. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected 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 and will continue to provide supervision and monitor accounting information and operations, obtain explanations for variances from unexpected results and work to increase segregation of duties. The Assistant to the Business Manager will continue to clear checks in Skyward as part of the bank reconciliation process. The District Administrator will review and initial all journal entries. The Assistant to the Business Manager will review payroll on a monthly basis, and the District Administrator will review payroll on a quarterly basis.

Corrective Action Plan The Inter American University of Puerto Rico (IAUPR) will implement the following actions to strengthen compliance with the 30-day reglementary period for the R2T4 determination: 1. IAUPR will also prepare compulsory online or face-to-face training sessions which all full and part-time faculty will be required to take in August and January of each year. The training sessions will review grading policies and any other procedures required for compliance with Federal Regulations. The primary executives of each academic unit, through the Deans of Academic Affairs, will be responsible for ensuring and certifying to the Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs that all faculty participated in the training. 2. The Deans of Academic Affairs or their designees at each academic unit will monitor the entry of final grades in the Banner System and report any suspicious grades and suspected cases of noncompliance with Federal Regulations to the chairs of the academic departments for immediate follow-up and correction. 3. IAUPR will develop a course of action whereby a department chair or dean of academic affairs may correct or update a grade in the Banner System, based on the academic information available, when a faculty member is unable to do so because of a force majeure. 4. In recurrent cases of noncompliance, the primary executives of each academic unit will send a written communication to faculty that do not comply with established procedures and include a copy of the communication in the professors' academic/administrative files.

The School Board Administration Building (SBAB),Cooling Tower Replacement project 02190000 was originally funded using Comprehensive Needs for the Design Phase. When the project was ready to commence to the construction phase it was decided to fund this phase with ESSER Funds. Subsequently, the contractor was not advised this project was subject to Davis Bacon requirements. All other projects reviewed did adhere to the Davis Bacon prevailing wages and certified payroll. We consider the SBAB Project to be an isolated incident. Moving forward, we have changed our procedures hen requesting project numbers. The requestor must identify the funding source and include a note in the project description when requesting project numbers. We have also updated our Contracting Software so that projects funded with ESSER Funds are identified at the beginning of the project. These procedures will prevent this from occurring in the future.

Finding 2023-001: Student Financial Assistance Cluster, Department of Education Programs Program Name: Federal Direct Student Loans CFDA Numbers: 84.268 Corrective Action Plan: The University will update written procedures to clearly identify a step to manually do enrollment testing following all conferral of degrees. For those regularly scheduled graduation periods and following the submission of both the degree and last of term enrollment files, we will randomly sample 10% of graduated students and manually verify their statuses. For degrees conferred outside of the regularly scheduled graduation periods, each record will be manually verified. This will ensure recorded graduation records will be verified within the National Student Clearinghouse to ensure alignment between degree history and enrollment history. The error was found to be a bug in the reporting software that happened in the current fiscal year. The University’s processes in previous years were correct as this error was not present.

FINDING 2023-008 Information on the federal program: Subject: COVID-19 - Education Stabilization Fund - Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: COVID-19 - Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listings Number: 84.425D Federal Award Numbers and Years (or Other Identifying Numbers): S425D210013 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Audit Findings: Material Weakness, Modified Opinion Contact Persons Responsible for Corrective Action: Regin Johnson, Title I Director Adrian Wilkerson, Chief Financial Officer Contact Phone Number and Email Address: (219) 838-1819 rjohnson@lakeridgeschools.net awilkerson@lakeridgeschools.net Condition: Construction contracts in excess of $2,000 financed by federal assistance funds must pay wages not less than those established for the locality of the project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL) to their laborers and mechanics. Nonfederal entities are to include in their construction contracts subject to the Wage Rate Requirements a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with these requirements and the DOL regulations. This would include a requirement to submit a copy of the payroll and statement of compliance to the entity for each week in which contract work was performed. Context: The School Corporation had not designed, nor implemented a system of internal control to ensure that construction contracts in excess of $2,000 paid from federal grant funds included a prevailing wage rate clause. One construction contract, totaling $4,000,000 was paid from the Education Stabilization Fund grant funds during the audit period. The single contract was tested and it did not contain the required prevailing wage rate clause. Additionally, certified payrolls were not obtained until after the School Corporation was issued an ESSER Construction Monitoring Report in late 2023. The School Corporation only obtained "sample" of certified payrolls and did not obtain all of the certified payrolls for the work performed within the grant period. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Chief Financial Officer and Grant Director will ensure that all future construction contracts contain the prevailing wage rate clause required by the program. Additionally, the Chief Financial Officer will review and approve all certified payrolls and compliance statements submitted by contractors and subcontractors in order to ensure compliance with the program.

Context: A number of transfer adjustments were made during the audit period from Corporation fund 7923 (ESSER III) to fund 7941 (CARES Ed Stabilization). These transfers were made move payroll disbursement activity for reimbursement. Support for these adjustments was traced to School Corporation’s records to verify the Gross Payroll activity moved for all but one transaction, which totaled $27,824. The supporting documentation for this transaction exceeded the amount of the transaction. Inquiry with School Corporation officials and review of the documentation determined that the amount transferred in this transaction was based on the remaining grant budget amounts in the grant fund 7941. The transaction was not based on actual payroll disbursements as all other transfer adjustments were. The $27,824 without supporting documentation is considered questioned costs. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: For future transfers of payroll disbursements, both the Treasurer and Grant Director will ensure that the amount transferred corresponds to actual, documented payroll expenses and not an aggregate salary and/or benefit expenditure. The Chief Financial Officer shall review and approve these transfers to ensure compliance. Anticipated Completion Date: Immediate

FINDING 2023-005 Information on the federal program: Subject: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies - Eligibility Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies CFDA Number: 84.010 Federal Award Numbers and Years or Other Identifying Numbers: S010A210014, SA10A20014 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Eligibility Audit Finding: Material Weakness, Other Matters Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Regin Johnson, Title I Director Contact Phone Number and Email Address: (219) 838-1819 rjohnson@lakeridgeschools.net Condition: This finding addresses two issues. First, an effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Eligibility compliance requirement. Second, The School Corporation has established a process of receiving and reviewing the listing of students from the Private Schools in order to be entered into the Title I application. However, the internal controls were determined not effective since the School Corporation only requested to receive eligible students listing and not enrolled students. Context: The School Corporation has not established a process of review of the Eligibility Summary in the Title I application for the student enrollment and poverty. Real time report October 1 count is used for the eligibility summary in the Title I application. Additionally, the examiner could not determine if the enrolled private school number was correct because the School Corporation did not request the information. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Title I Director will review and sign off on the Real Time October 1 report to ensure that the student enrollment and poverty numbers reconcile with what is submitted in the Eligibility Summary. Additionally, the Title I Director will solicit both eligible and total enrollment figures from private schools that wish to participate in Title I. Anticipated Completion Date: The Corrective Action will be implemented immediately and completed upon the filing of the next Real Time report and Eligibility Summary.
