Management's View: CNMC Management agrees with the finding. In September 2023, we incorporated a comprehensive review and reconciliation of all amounts recorded to Grant revenue in a fiscal year. This captured federally sourced revenue and expenditures recorded throughout the institution that span beyond the research and development cluster and were to be reported on the SEFA. Further, funded sources identified through this reconciliation were reviewed in depth to confirm federal financial compliance requirements are being met or were corrected immediately. Education to key stakeholders also took place to spread awareness of the compliance requirements regarding federally funded sources that are to be reported on the SEFA. Corrective Action Plan: Contact Persons: Carmen Mendez, Vice President of Finance & Academic Administration and Scott Wuenschell, Vice President of Accounting & Controller - At the completion of each fiscal period, grants accounting in collaboration with general accounting will prepare a comprehensive reconciliation of grant revenue recorded throughout the institution. Funding sources identified beyond the research and development cluster will be reviewed in depth to confirm federal financial compliance requirements are being met. - Education on management of federal funds received outside grants accounting has been completed to all finance leadership to assist on early identification of federal funds.

GFEMS completed the necessary reporting to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of State. There were no costs or loss sustained from the incident because GFEMS subtracted the misappropriated amount, $4,979.75, from the final disbursement to the subrecipient. GFEMS will continue to apply its existing due diligence and subgrantee monitoring procedures to minimize risk of fraud and non-compliance of subgrants awarded. This will include review of subgrantees policies, procedures, vouchers, receipts, and audit reports as well as desk and site visit financial monitoring, as appropriate.

We plan a much shorter total period needed to complete the 2023 external audit and as a result a timely submission of the data and information to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.

Finding 2022-002 Federal Program Information: Federal Grantor: United States Department of the Treasury Pass-Through Entity: Smith County, Texas and the City of San Marcos, Texas Assistance Listing No.: 21.027, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Pass-Through Award Numbers: Trinity Mother Frances, Pass-through Smith County: Not available Santa Rosa, Pass-through the City of San Marcos: Not available Award Periods of Performance: Trinity Mother Frances, Pass-through Smith County, October 1, 2021 – November 30, 2021 Santa Rosa, Pass-through the City of San Marcos, March 03, 2021 through December 31, 2026 Corrective Action Planned: Management agrees that the Department of Treasury awards passed through Smith County and the City of San Marcos were not included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. However, grant management identified the oversight and took corrective action to inform external auditors immediately upon the discovery. We have reviewed our processes that led to the initial oversight. We have instituted a new process to obtain confirmation from each CFO that their Ministry’s reported amounts on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State awards is complete and accurate. Responsible party: Lee Sonne, Vice President of Finance and Controller, jointly with the Melissa Crenwelge-Nedbalek, Accounting Director responsible for Grant Reporting Implementation Date: January 2024 prior to the final reissuance of the FY 22 Uniform Guidance Reporting Package.

Finding 2022-001 Federal Program Information Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Assistance Listing No.: 93.498 COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Award Period of Performance: July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022 Corrective Action Planned: Management agrees that certain expenses to the COVID department were not reviewed and approved at the order entry level in specific cases. Although evidence of review was not retained for every charge to the COVID department, we believe the appropriateness of the charge was reasonable. Additionally, based on monthly review of departmental expenses and full-time equivalent (FTE) analysis at the facility level, we believe that these expenditures are subject to the appropriate level of review to identify unexpected variances. As it relates to the COVID Activity Code, this code was created as a means to track certain COVID hours worked, but was not configured to calculate the amounts associated with those hours, resulting in the need to make reasonable estimates. Even using the base pay rate at the time the hours were incurred would not have been accurate since it would omit adjustments for shift differentials, weekend hours, and overtime. We performed internal analyses and reviewed the results of samples selected by the auditors and concluded that the risk of a material overcharge to the program was minimal. Further, we have almost $40 million of unused lost revenues after our final PRF submission for Period 5, such that any questioned costs would easily be covered by other eligible uses of PRF funds. We have reviewed our processes related to the retention of expense documentation to improve audit evidence should this program ever be awarded in future periods. Responsible party: Lee Sonne, Vice President of Finance and Controller Implementation Date: Procedures were reviewed and analysis completed along with the Period 5 portal filing in September 2023.

Hayim Prero, as lead person for the SFSP program for Machne Naarim, will ensure that all expenditures show proper approval before purchases are made. This recommendation was made in the fall of 2022 and went into effect in the summer of 2023. As this was the procedure until now, however, there was no signature to verify the approval, and this took minimal time to correct. As part of yearly training, the director of each site will be directed to ensure that there is a signature indicating proper approval for all expenditures before purchases are made. This will also be verified for all the sites by the Machne Naarim bookkeeping staff when the invoices are submitted to Machne Naarim for verification of the integrity of their programs.

The School System does not concur with the auditor’s findings and recommendations. The total expenditures for all federal programs recorded in the Schedule of Expenditures for Federal Awards are accurately presented and tie to the general ledger. The payroll sub-ledger is corrected before posting to the general ledger every two weeks. The resulting differences are most often immaterial, but can be traced to corrections made by the Accounting Office after payroll is reviewed by the grants Restricted Funds Supervisor to ensure payroll is not posted to expired grants. To ensure all employees are paid according to pay dates established in our various labor agreements and recorded correctly in the general ledger, we will continue the payroll transaction validation process that assures the payroll expenses recorded are allowable and accurately stated in the SEFA and balance to the general ledger. BDO Response – We have reviewed management’s response and our finding remains as indicated, since we could not validate the details of the differences.

The School System concurs with the auditor’s findings and recommendations. The Infants and Toddlers Supervisor will conduct monthly reviews of outstanding purchase orders in Oracle, addressing issues promptly with the Business Operation Officer/Financial Analyst. Professional development sessions will be attended to enhance invoice scrutiny for allowable expenses within the grant period. Quarterly reminders and Financial Quarterly Review meetings will be instituted for supervisors, ensuring timely action on outstanding purchase orders. Following will be implemented: 1. Infants and Toddler Supervisor will hold monthly meetings with the Financial Analyst and the secretarial staff to ensure consistent actions are taken when generating purchase orders and processing invoices. 2. The Infants and Toddler secretary will review invoice dates against contracts and purchase orders to ensure they fall within grant timelines before submitting them to the supervisor for signature. 3. Infants and Toddler Supervisor will confirm that purchases made with grant funds are allowable and within the designated grant period. The Supervisor will cross-reference invoice dates against grant periods before signing and sending to accounts payable. 4. The infants and Toddler Supervisor will confirm the work being invoiced has been completed and vendor details are checked, and dates verified. 5. Grant Accountants will provide transaction detail reports (at least quarterly). The Infant and Toddlers Coordinating Supervisor will review and sign-off on the quarterly transaction reports. 6. The Financial Analyst will meet monthly with the Infants and Toddler Supervisor and Coordinating Supervisor to ensure grant allowable expenses are adhered to and invoicing is updated and falls within grant-specific timelines.

The School System does not concur with the auditor’s findings and recommendations. The fiscal year 2022 single audit was not completed for the auditors to provide a final report to certify in the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the specified timeframe as noted in the Uniform Guidance in 2 CFR Section 200.512. This is the first time that our auditors have not entered the appropriate information into the data collection form for us to certify. In the future, we will provide reminders as the date approaches in time to meet the deadline. BDO Response – We have reviewed management’s response and our finding remains as indicated, the School System did not have the established controls to ensure the reporting package is submitted to the FAC annually within the required timeframe.

The School System concurs with the auditor’s findings and recommendations. The district is evaluating a centralized contract management solution that would maintain all contracts and agreements upon execution, as well as manage renewals and amendments. This tool will be leveraged during the procurement process with a copy of the current executed contract uploaded by the Grant Program Manager at the time requisitions are created to encumber funds. In addition, we are also considering modifications in the Oracle Financial System to add validation controls when matching contractual services invoices for payment to ensure alignment with the service period outlined in the executed contract. Finally, additional training opportunities for Grant Program Managers will be offered to ensure services outlined in contractual agreements will not be authorized before they are approved and signed by the Director of Purchasing.

The School System concurs with the auditor’s findings and recommendations. As an on-going effort, the process for creating pay elements for specialized compensation will be monitored for accuracy during the creation stages. Electronic alerts generated in the oracle system will be re-employed to notify appropriate finance personnel when new elements are created by the Payroll Department to ensure the distribution accuracy of salary expenses along with applicable fringes to the appropriate grant accounts. This will prevent manual journal entry realignment postings of large data sets of salary and fringes to the primary assignment costing versus accounts created specifically for specialized pay that is approved in the respective grant application as an allowable cost.

2022-008 Allocation of Grant Expenses U.S. Department of Labor Assistance Listing Number 17.258/17.259/17.278 Recommendation: We recommend that the Board implement policies and procedures to ensure that all expenses are for actual expenses incurred, and that timely reconciliations are performed to ensure the expenses are properly charged to the correct assistance listing number and grant. Action Taken: The Board has developed a process to correctly allocate expenditures to the correct funding stream. At each month’s end, all employees complete an allocation spreadsheet. When all spreadsheets are completed, approved, and turned in, the Board determines the allocation of payroll and expenditures. Expenditures that occurred in March will be allocated using the allocation chart for February. Also, this procedure is backup for each cash request that is submitted for funding. Also, this is reviewed for the reconciliation between the cash request and the Board’s accounting software.

2022-007 Eligibility U.S. Department of Labor Assistance Listing Number 17.258/17.259/17.278 Recommendation: We recommend that the Board implement policies and procedures to ensure that the necessary controls are in place to properly verify the eligibility of all Youth Activities participants. Action Taken: The Board’s Youth Liaison monitors the In School and Out of School Youth eligibility every six months following the policy and procedures referencing the CF200. The Board’s Youth Liaison reviews the Youth files to determine if the Youth meets the eligibility criteria for either the Youth In or the Youth Out program. Her monitoring is reviewed every six months during the State Audit. The Board will review her monitoring along with copies of the completed registrations from the Board’s subrecipient which determines which program the youth is eligible for the fiscal year. The Board will state that they have reviewed the eligibility perimeters and these were followed by the subrecipient and verified by the Youth Liaison.

2022-006 Subrecipient Monitoring U.S. Department of Labor Assistance Listing Number 17.258/17.259/17.278 Recommendation: We recommend that the Board review its policies and procedures for sufficiency and commit the appropriate personnel to subrecipient monitoring to ensure that the Board is in compliance with all federal requirements. Action Taken: With the assistance of Workforce WV, the Board met with a private company representative (via Zoom) who made recommendations to the Board for fiscal monitoring of the Board’s subrecipient. A plan is in the process of accomplishing this action for both 21-22 and 22-23 Fiscal Years. The Board is planning on submitting a monitoring report within the next week. This process will be developed, and a six-month monitoring period is being developed to enter into the Board’s policies and procedures as a normal course of action.
