SD 2022-006 Subrecipient Procurement Policy Recommendation: Prior to approving funding to a subrecipient, and annually thereafter, the Organization should require subrecipients to submit procurement policies which ensure competitive procurement and the use of vendors who are not suspended or debarred for grant-funded expenditures. Management Response: Since the prior audit, we implemented several changes which affect the repeated findings. The fiscal year 20-21 audit report was issued on June 30, 2022. The change in the fiscal year resulted in a 12-hour turnaround making it difficult to clear the findings and implement the recommended changes from last year's audit. We addressed the procurement policies with our existing subcontractors during their fiscal year 21-22 Monitoring visits in May, 2022. We added to any new and/or existing contracts the requirement for the Agency to supply their Procurement policies that ensure competitive procurement and the use of vendors who are not suspended or debarred for grant-funded expenditures. All new sub-recipient contracts that went into effect July 1, 2022 made the implementation of the recommended change effective outside of the fiscal year in review. This finding will be cleared in our next audit. RESPONSIBLE PARTY - AMBER CARROLL

SD 2022-005 Support for Matching Recommendation: Sources of and detail support for matching funds should be obtained prior to payment of subrecipient requests for reimbursement. Management Response: Since the prior audit, we implemented several changes which affect the repeated findings. The FY 20-21 Audit report was issued on June 30, 2022. The change in the fiscal year resulted in a 12-hour turnaround making it difficult to clear the findings and implement the recommended changes from last year's audit. We require match documentation to be provided upfront during the competitive RFP. We detailed in each sub-recipient contract the Match requirements that ensure compliance with 24 CFR 576.201 and 2 CFR 200.303. We have added a match reporting requirement to the invoicing process that requires proof of Match monthly. These sub-recipient contracts went into effect July 1, 2022 making the implementation of the recommended change effective outside of the fiscal year in review. This finding will be cleared in our next audit. RESPONSIBLE PARTY - AMBER CARROLL

MW 2022-004 Review of Reimbursement Requests and Expenses Recommendation: Review of reimbursement requests and monthly expense submissions should be documented and ensure the completeness and accuracy of the submission. Review of individual payroll and non-payroll expense allowability should be documented. Management Response: Since the prior audit, we implemented several changes which affect the repeated findings. We have already implemented the recommended process for the review of reimbursement requests and monthly expense submissions. These are documented to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the submission. We also implemented the documentation of the review of individual payroll and non-payroll expense allowability. The fiscal year 20-21 audit report was issued on June 30, 2022. The change in the fiscal year resulted in a 12-hour turnaround making it difficult to clear the findings and implement the recommended changes from last year's audit.

Finding 2022-002 Condition/Context The Corporation included expenses in their Period 3 submission for Mount Nittany Medical Center, TIN 24-0795682, (the Center) that were previously allocated to the federal program and reported in the Period 1 submission, which resulted in expenses in the Period 3 submission being inaccurately reported and overstated by $3,073,785. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: As Mount Nittany Medical Center has a significant amount of available lost revenues, Management has adjusted the previously reported lost revenues to adjust for the questioned costs in the reporting period 4 filing. In addition, we have added steps to our PRF reporting policy to include preparation of a waterfall file which shows the total amount of COVID eligible expenses and the period in which they were allocated for PRF reporting to ensure we do not have a duplication of costs in the future. Beginning with reporting period 4, we also utilized the portal worksheets provided by HRSA to assist with preparing the filing. Finally, the preparation of the PRF filing for reporting period 4 (and future periods, if needed) has transitioned to the Assistant Controller to include an additional level of review by the Controller. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Karen Keys, Assistant Controller Scott Kaufman, Director, System Controller Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action plan described above was implemented and completed as of March 24, 2023, which is the date the period 4 filing was submitted.

Finding #2022-006 ? Child Nutrition Cluster ? Supporting Documentation (#10.553 and #10.555) Federal Grantor ? U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-through Award Numbers ? 2022-304627-DPI-SB-546 and 2022-3046247-DPI-NSL-547 Pass-through Entity ? Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Condition: The federal program annually requires performance of sampling and verification of free and reduced price applications. Supporting documentation supporting verification of applicants for free or reduced meals was not available for review. District could not provide documentation supporting that a verification of 3% of all applicants submitted for free or reduced meals was performed. Effect: Sampling and verification procedures are required to be performed annually. Potential to receive an incorrect amount of aid per meal served and students could be charged the wrong price for meals. Cause: The accounting system had notes indicating that sampling and verification procedures may have taken place, however, no supporting documentation was able to be retrieved. Turnover in the business office occurred. Criteria: The District is required to test 3% of all applications submitted for free or reduced meals to ensure their eligibility has not changed since they applied. If their eligibility has changed, then the District must change the student?s status appropriately. Supporting documentation of these sampling and verification procedures should be maintained for future reference. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure proper sampling and verification of applicants is performed and that the supporting documentation be maintained. Response: The District will establish policies and procedures proper sampling and verification procedures are performed and the supporting documentation is maintained.

Finding #2022-005 ? Child Nutrition Cluster ? Unclaimed Meals (#10.553 and #10.555) Federal Grantor ? U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-through Award Numbers ? 2022-304627-DPI-SB-546 and 2022-3046247-DPI-NSL-547 Pass-through Entity ? Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Condition: Food service claims were not prepared by the District within the 60-day window for November 2021 breakfast meals and December 2021 lunch meals served. The auditor brought to the District?s attention during August 2022 fieldwork. Based on meals served, the November 2021 breakfast claim was calculated to be for $9,665 and the December 2021 lunch claim was calculated as $23,751. Effect: District did not receive reimbursement for meals served during November 2021 for breakfast meals served and December 2021 lunch meals served. Cause: The District did not have proper procedures in place for submitting monthly claims. The District began contracting with a Food Service Management Company starting in 2021-2022. Criteria: Monthly breakfast and lunch reimbursement claims should be made within the 60-day time frame. Procedures should be in place to ensure accurate claims are made timely. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure meals are claimed in compliance with federal requirements and within the 60-day time frame. Response: On January 30, 2023, the District requested a one-time waiver requests with DPI to claim the meals that were previously missed. The November 2021 breakfast claim was for $9,665 and the December 2021 lunch claim was for $23,751. DPI approved payment on the one-time exceptions in February 2023 and payments were made to the District in March 2023. The District will establish policies and procedures to ensure meals are claimed in a timely manner and in compliance with requirements.

Finding #2022-004 ? Lack of Financial Close Process (Prior Year Finding #2021-004 Condition: Cash and other accounts were adjusted during the audit process. Many audit journal entries were required to record and adjust activity. During the year and as of June 30, 2022, cash balances on the general ledger had unreconciled differences compared to the bank balances. Accounting processes were delayed. January 2022 through June 2022 bank reconciliations were performed in August 2022. Many significant 2022 cash receipts and disbursements weren?t recorded on the general ledger until August 2022. Instances were identified where payments of certain payroll withholdings and employer benefits were delayed until several months after the related payroll dates. Effect: Financial reporting from the District?s general ledger could be materially misstated. Not remitting payroll withholdings and benefits when due will lead to penalties and payroll liabilities increasing on the District?s general ledger. Cause: The District did not have procedures in place to ensure that all transactions were properly recorded on the general ledger prior to the audit. Dates for payments to be made on payroll liabilities were not always being tracked and payroll liability accounts were not being reconciled. Criteria: Cash and other accounts should be timely reconciled. General ledger cash balances should be reconciled to the monthly or quarterly bank statements. During the close of the monthly financial statements, other balances should be reconciled to subsidiary detailed listings. Payments for payroll liabilities should be paid timely. Payroll liability accounts should be reviewed to ensure withholdings, accruals, and payments are properly clearing the liabilities. Recommendation: The District should develop procedures to timely reconcile cash and other balance sheet accounts. The reconciliations should be reviewed by someone other than the person preparing the reconciliations. The reviewer should initial and date the reconciliations when the review is complete. Develop procedures to monitor when payroll liability payments are due. Reconcile the payroll liabilities to ensure that the payments are being made within the appropriate period. Response: The District will work to establish procedures to reconcile accounts monthly. To assist with business operations, the District contracted for additional business office services for the 2022/2023 school year.

Finding #2022-003 ? Material Adjustments (Prior Year Finding #2021-003) Condition: Material adjusting journal entries not prepared by the District before the audit were required to record and reconcile account balances. Effect: Financial reports generated by the accounting system may not provide an accurate reflection of the District?s financial position or activities. Not reconciling accounts on a timely basis could lead to errors or other problems not being recognized and resolved. 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 materiality of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor. To assist with business operations, the District contracted for additional business office services for the 2022/2023 school year.

Criteria: Internal controls should be in place that provide adequate segregation of duties Cause: The condition is due to limited staff available. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented segregating duties among different employees.

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority has an interlocal agreement with a neighboring housing authority for administration of the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program. It is the Authority's responsibility to monitor the agreements and verify adequate processing of compliance activities. The neighboring housing authority suffered a significant technical issue during the period of the effective date for the one file that did not have adequate documentation, which may have been a factor. The Authority intends to bring the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program back "in-house" soon, so it can better control administration of this significant program. In the interim, however, the Authority will be conducting quality control reviews monthly of a percentage of the Authority's Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program participant files (in addition to the quality control reviews already being performed by the neighboring housing authority) to better monitor adequacy with compliance requirements. Heather Blough, Executive Director, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2023.

Recommendation: We recommend that the University increase the time and effort certification process to be more timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action in Response to Finding: Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) will decrease the amount of the time between the end of the semi-annual reporting periods and distribution of the Personnel Activity Reports (PARs).

Recommendation: We recommend that the University ensure its policies and procedures over suspension and debarment are being enforced to ensure evidence of compliance to suspension and debarment regulations are maintained. This can include maintaining evidence that management reviewed the SAM.gov website, maintaining a certification from the vendor, or including a clause in a contract with vendors that they are not suspended or debarred. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action in Response to Finding: The instances of missing evidence of screening for suspension and debarment during the single audit were related to sole source purchases on federal awards. The University will update its procedures to include screening for suspension and debarment at the time a request for sole source purchase is processed in PSU?s Contracting and Procurement Services (CAPS) office. Screening of the proposed sole source vendor will be performed by CAPS staff and the documentation of screening will be maintained in the procurement records.
