Finding #2022-002 ? #84.425D COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund ? ESSER II and III Condition: There was one Education Stabilization Fund construction project performed by a contractor. Grant expenditures for the project totaled $170,924.50. There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contract and certified payrolls were received. Effect: A reimbursement request was made for expenditures that did not comply with wage rate requirements. Cause: The District was not aware that wage rate requirements applied to the construction project until after it was completed. Criteria: Wage rate requirements apply to the Education Stabilization Fund when laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors work on construction contracts more than $2,000. Laborers must be paid wages not less than those established for the locality of the project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL). Nonfederal entities shall include in their contracts subject to wage rate requirements a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations. This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Questioned Costs: $170,924.50. Context: The construction projects began and were completed in June 2022 before the District was aware of wage rate requirements. After becoming aware of the requirement, there were no further construction projects. Recommendation: Establish controls to comply with wage rate requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund. Consider determining if the contractor performing the project in 2021-2022 paid prevailing wage rates for costs reimbursed by the grant. Response: The District became aware of wage rate requirements after finishing the project. Before bidding any future construction project more than $2,000, the request for bid and contract will include a prevailing wage rate clause. Certified payrolls will be received for any such contracts. Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2023

Finding #2022-001 ? Limited Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2021-001) Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the control areas reviewed. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected on a timely basis. Cause: The condition is due to limited staff available. Criteria: Internal controls should be in place that provide adequate segregation of duties. Generally, a system of internal control contemplates separation of duties such that no individual has responsibility to execute a transaction, have physical access to the related assets, and have responsibility or authority to record the transaction. 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 and continue to work to achieve segregation of duties whenever cost effective. The cash disbursements process includes approval of purchase orders and matching of approved purchase orders with invoices. Review of account coding is performed by the district accounting staff. The payroll disbursement process includes approval of timesheets and review of coding on an ongoing basis. The Board of Education reviews budget to actual information along with disbursement information on a monthly basis. Contact Person: Lisa Wallin-Kapinus Anticipated Completion: Not Applicable

Finding Number: 2022-002 Condition: The College drew down HEERF related expenses for the institutional expenditures at a rate that differed from the final, reported expenditures. This was based on the identification of expenditures that were later not included in the final annual reporting, placing the timing of drawdown for reported expenditures to be outside of the cash management regulations. By extension, the institutional quarterly reporting was also incorrect as it is based on the initial expenditure classifications. Planned Corrective Action: The College drew down funds based on expenditures that management deemed to be qualified however, at year-end, concluded to charge other expenditures to the grant causing the mismatch in the timing of drawdowns and final expenditures charged to the grant. Although HEERF and other COVID 19 Pandemic funding has ended, in the future, such expenditures will be discussed and documented prior to the drawing of funds. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Amanda Ewers, Director of Finance and Gary Black, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: Corrected reporting was submitted on March 22, 2023

Finding Number: 2022-001 Condition: The College did not have a policy in place to ensure it was complying with "Never Contract with the Enemy" and verifying that a contractor is not debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from doing business with federal assistance programs or activities. In addition, the College's policy does not include all provisions in 2 CFR Section 200.318-327. Planned Corrective Action: An Albion College ?Never Contract with the Enemy? policy will be put into place and have the following conditions within the policy: The ?Grants and Foundation Relations Grants Manual? will be updated to include policy information about this federal regulation and how to determine whether a subcontractor/vendor is prohibited under this policy from being paid with federal grant funds. The Grants and Foundation Relations team (?GFRT?) will include the federal regulation in every ?Grants Kickoff Meeting? checklist and will discuss with the Principal Investigators (?PI?s) during grant development so that issues can be addressed at the beginning of federal grant application process. PI?s of the federal grants will be responsible for checking the SAM excluded vendor list as they are finalizing their budget and/or planned expenditures to confirm all subcontractors/vendors are allowed and in good standing, before any contract over $50,000 is executed or any invoice greater than $20,000 is paid. The Business Office will verify that the vendors or subcontractors for federal grants have been checked against the SAM excluded vendor list during the expenditure approval process. In addition, the College with develop a procurement policy that conforms to provisions in 2 CFR Section 200.318-327 and all federal grant recipients should review and adhere to that policy for all purchases and expenditures made with federal grant funds. Consult with GFR or the Business Office if there are questions about these standards and how they may impact federal grant expenditures. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Amy Routhier-Chief Advancement Officer for Grants and Foundation Relations & Albert Hammond-Staff Accountant-Gifts and Grants Anticipated Completion Date: The GFRT has added a ?Never Contracts with the Enemy Policy? to the Grant Manual, which is presented at all ?Grant Kickoff? meetings. The team also discusses with each (?PI?) in grant development what the policy expectations are.

Finding #2022-001: #84.425U COVID-19 ? Education Stabilization Fund ? ESSER III Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Education Pass-through Award Number: 2022-533612-DPI-ESSERFIII-165 Pass-through Entity: Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Criteria: Wage rate requirements apply to the Education Stabilization Fund when laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors work on construction contracts more than $2,000. Laborers must be paid wages not less than those established for the locality of the project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL). Nonfederal entities shall include in their contracts subject to wage rate requirements a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations. This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Condition: There was one Education Stabilization Fund construction project performed by a subcontractor. Grant expenditures for the project paid by Education Stabilization Fund totaled $424,000. There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contract and certified payrolls were not received. Cause: The District was not aware that wage rate requirements applied to the construction project until after it was completed. Effect: A reimbursement request was made for expenditures that did not comply with wage rate requirements. Questioned Costs: $424,000. Recommendation: Establish controls to comply with wage rate requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund. Consider determining if the contractor performing the project in 2021-2022 paid prevailing wage rates for costs reimbursed by the grant. Grantee Response:At the time that we committed to doing this project, we informed our referendum construction manager that we would be using federal funds to pay for this additional work. With us informing them of that, we assumed that all required paperwork would be completed to comply with the Davis-Bacon Act. Unfortunately, we thought this was sufficient notification for them to support us with compliance. In our follow-up communications with our primary HV AC subcontractor we learned at the time when referendum work was contracted in 2019, they were paying prevailing wage. We worked with legal counsel to develop a contract that is compliant with the Davis-Bacon Requirements. To make sure the paperwork is in place copies of such contracts will be sent to the business office before work commences as well as the compliance documentation when work is complete. We are also conducting a review of our written procedures to be completed by June 30, 2023. Contact Person: Carey Bradley Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2023
