Acknowledgment of Finding: Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative acknowledges the audit finding regarding the internal control over costs to be submitted for reimbursement. Cause and Intent: The clerical errors leading to this discrepancy were unintended and stemmed from the retrospective review and abundance of invoices related prior to receiving the grant contract. Much of this project covered within the grant contract was completed prior to receipt of the contract. These errors were solely attributable to clerical oversight and had no intentional misrepresentation or malpractice. The retrospective nature of gathering a substantial volume of invoices over an extended period resulted in inadvertent mistakes in cost allocation. Corrective Action Taken: In response to the audit finding, Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative has taken corrective action. This includes: a. Review and Rectification- Once an amount was identified, a review of all invoices and related documentation has been conducted to identify and rectify any clerical inaccuracies that could have resulted in ineligible costs. b. Reconciliation and Adjustment- Misallocated costs identified during the review have been excluded. c. Enhanced Controls- Strengthened controls and oversight measures have been implemented within the reimbursement preparation process to prevent future errors. Mitigating Measures: While the errors resulted in a misallocation of costs, the overall financial impact on the grant reimbursement remains mitigated. The corrective actions taken promptly rectified the issues, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and the accurate allocation of costs related to the project. Commitment to Continuous Improvement: Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance and integrity in financial reporting. The Cooperative is dedicated to ongoing training, process and procedure improvements and strengthen controls to prevent future errors. Timeline and Accountability: The corrective action plan is anticipated to be effective within the next fiscal year.

2023 Corrective Action Plan Finding Reference Number 2023-001 Contact person - Stephanie Wilhelm, Registrar Cause - Management oversite during a status update report submission Current Status - All student enrollment statuses from spring 2023 semester has been reviewed and corrected as needed. All students that graduate at mid semester will be reviewed individually to ensure that they are not re-reported as enrolled after degree completion. We have also updated our conferring process to add a status flag to ensure the graduated status is sent to NSC-NSLDS for updates. For those students that begin our graduate program immediately after completing the undergraduate program, they will be managed individually for reporting mid-stream until the new term begins. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action - the software cause of the re-reportig of graduated students as enrolled has not been determined. All mid-term graduate prior to March 2023 worked correctly and those that graduated July 2023 all worked correctly. Reports have been created for mid-term graduates and students begining another program immediately after degree completion. Anticipated Completion Date - Already completed and ongoing.

The Organization will implement and document a secondary level of review prior to all submissions to ensure submitted amounts agree back to supporting documentation.

Our regular federal awards are being regularly submitted on a monthly basis by our bookkeeper. The finding is related to our newer grants that were awarded WYBILT specfically, and the ESSER III - ARP and were taken on by the business manager. We also had our GEER II award that had delays in cash requests. At different points in the year multiple changes in requirements in what to provide for documentation, caused a delay in doing cash requests. The business manager will work to shorten the amount of time this process takes in the upcoming year. We have fewer grants that will be tracked which will help in getting the time between expenditures and when cash is requested.
