CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE Whitman County January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 This schedule presents the corrective action the County is planning to take for findings included in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2022-001 Finding caption: The County lacked adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with federal suspension and debarment requirements. Name, address, and telephone of the County contact person: Jessica Jensema, Chief Finance Administrator 400 N. Main St. Colfax, WA 99111 (509) 397-5278 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: This is the second year in a row the County has received this finding. The 2021 finding was not brought to the attention of the County until early fall 2022 thus, a correction could not be made to the 2022 work that had already happened thus the finding had to be reissued for the 2022 financial year as well. The Counties response is the same as it was for the 2021 financial year: The County understands the importance of following 2 CFR 200, Uniform Guidance. In this situation, a County employee who was unfamiliar with the administration of Federal grants was responsible for the accounting of the SLRF (ARPA) fund (due to an extreme shortage of staff at the time). While this employee verified that all entities receiving the funds were in good standing with Washington State and were, indeed, valid businesses; verification from the federal websites for suspension and debarment was mistakenly missed. After the County was made aware of this issue, it did utilize the federal websites and fortunately, all businesses were clear of suspension and debarment, so they were eligible for federal funding. Going forward, the Finance staff will train employees who are new to administering a federal grant, ensuring that all requirements are met. Additionally, the County has now discussed this matter with all of the department accounting liaisons and the process for correct debarment verification is now included in the County?s Grant Policies and Procedures. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: 9/30/2023

Finding Summary: The Town did not have written policies, procedures, and standards of conduct relative to federal awards as required by the Uniform Guidance.

Finding 2022-002 states "in accordance with Uniform Guideline 2 CPR 200.512(a), the audit package and data collection form shall be submitted 30 days after the receipt of the auditor's report, or 9 months after the end of the fiscal year, whichever comes first". This refers to the timely filing of s...
Finding 2022-002 states "in accordance with Uniform Guideline 2 CPR 200.512(a), the audit package and data collection form shall be submitted 30 days after the receipt of the auditor's report, or 9 months after the end of the fiscal year, whichever comes first". This refers to the timely filing of summarized financial data to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The County's external auditor did not finalize the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) until months after the required June 30th deadline. Technically we could have met this requirement by submitting financial data that was not audited. We did not feel it prudent, nor did we feel comfortable submitting un-audited data. We feel that moving forward, a timely CAFR should remedy this finding.

Finding Summary: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) provides that amounts charged to Federal programs must be for allowable costs. To be allowable under Federal awards, costs must be adequately documented and supported. Community Chest, Inc. does have an internal control system to properly differentiate between federal and nonfederal expenditures, however certain immaterial amounts were not properly classified within the system in accordance with their internal control system. Responsible Individuals: Erik Schoen, CEO; Amber Stanley, Business Manager Corrective Action Plan: We are in agreement with this finding. As part of our CAP, we have replaced our former business manager with a new employee, who is receives regular support and guidance from an independent accounting professional with decades of experience. Together, they are forming a point-by-point strategic approach so that this finding is corrected in the current FY. We believe that being more timely in everyday processes, month end closes and reconciliations will help prevent changes after the fact in regards to monthly billings provided to our grantors. As of 10/1/22, we have already doubled our pace of account reconciliation. We will continue to improve with the accuracy of billings and grant end closes internally. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2023

Finding Summary: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Matching, Level of Effort and Earmarking, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) provides that amounts for matching but be verifiable, allowed under general cost principles, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and reported on the grant reports. Amounts for match was not properly reported on the financial report, in addition supporting documentation was not retained for all match and certain match recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Responsible Individuals: Erik Schoen, CEO; Amber Stanley, Business Manager Corrective Action Plan: We are in agreement with this finding. As part of our CAP, we have replaced our former business manager with a new employee, who is receives regular support and guidance from an independent accounting professional with decades of experience. Together, they are forming a point-by-point strategic approach so that this finding is corrected in the current FY. As of 11/1/22, we had already started changing the inkind contributions workbook to reflect a more detailed representation of what contribution was being applied to what grantor. This has resulted in an easier to understand form. We have also begun to keep more accurate records both digitally and in paper form. We will continue to improve on this process by completing match on a per quarter basis while instituting a better process. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2023

Finding No.: 2022- 003 Condition: The District's expenditure report filed for June 30, 2022 included expenditures paid in July 2022. These amounts were not reported as committed or obligated.

Finding #2022-004 ? Cash Reconciliations Condition: The main checking account of the District was not reconciled to the general ledger throughout 2021-2022. Effect: Not reconciling cash accounts on a timely basis could lead to errors or other problems not being recognized and resolved in a timely manner. General ledger cash balances should be reconciled to monthly bank statements shortly after bank statements are received. Cause: The District?s main checking account was not reconciled to the general ledger at the time of the onsite audit. After all audit entries were recorded, no significant cash difference exists. Criteria: Internal controls should be kept in place to make sure that cash is reconciled timely and that reconciliations are tied to the general ledger on a monthly basis. Recommendation: We recommend the District develop procedures to reconcile all cash accounts to the general ledger in a timely manner. The reconciliations should be reviewed by someone other than the person preparing the reconciliation. The reviewer should initial and date the reconciliations when the review is complete. Response: The District will begin reconciling cash to the general ledger on a timely basis during the 2022-2023 fiscal year.

Finding #2022-002 ? Material Adjustments (Prior Year Finding #2021-002) Condition: Johnson Block and Company, Inc. proposed numerous adjusting journal entries to adjust District account balances. We deem these entries to be significant in relation to the financial statements. Since the District did not make these adjustments in the accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness exists in the District?s internal controls. Effect: This means that the proper recording and reporting of financial information may not occur within a timely manner. 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 number of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor.

Finding #2022-001 ? Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2021-001) Condition: Management is responsible for the design, installation and maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control. Proper segregation of duties is an important aspect of any control system. The limited size of the District?s office staff prevents the ideal segregation of functions. The Business Manager is the only employee that records transactions in the general ledger, records cash receipt adjustments in the general ledger, prints accounts payable checks using electronic signatures, performs bank reconciliations, and has access to process payroll. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities as a result of the lack of segregation of duties. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Criteria: Segregation of duties is an aspect of internal control intended to prevent or decrease opportunities of intentional and unintentional errors and fraud. Duties and responsibilities are properly segregated if no single individual either has control over all phases of a transaction or has the ability to both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Recommendation: We recommend that the Board of Education and the District Administrator continue to monitor the transactions and the financial records of the District. We also encourage the District to continue to identify cost effective opportunities to improve the design of the internal control structure. Response: We agree with this finding but do not believe it is cost effective to increase the office staff in an attempt to bring about a more effective segregation of duties. The District Administrator approves purchase orders and the Board of Education approves monthly accounts payable checks. Also, the Building Principals review payroll timesheets prior to processing payroll. The Board of Education, District Administrator, and Building Principals will continue to monitor transactions of the District.

Audit Finding Reference: 2022-003 Improve Controls and Documentation over Payroll Process Planned Corrective Action: The Portland Public School District's payroll operations have been under strain since its conversion to a new software system (Munis) in January 2019. Certain modules and functionalities were not set up completely or correctly prior to launch, which necessitated workarounds, time-consuming manual processing, and error correction. These challenges were compounded by staff turnover, staffing shortages, and the heightened pressures across the district caused by the pandemic. As a result certain systems, processes, procedures, and documentation protocols have weakened over this time. PPS is aware of this and has been working toward a permanent solution to the root cause of the payroll challenges. In collaboration with outside consultants, PPS has entered into an agreement to transition to ADP as a third-party payroll provider for the district, with expected implementation in fall 2023. PPS has retained a project manager for the transition, whose focus will not only be the technical software transition but also ensuring that sound policies, procedures, and controls are in place alongside system capabilities that meet the needs of the district. Additionally, PPS intends to invest in additional HR staff in order to implement new workflow that ensures appropriate segregation of duties, review, and documentation of employee pay information.

Finding 2022-005, Non-Material Non-Compliance - Eligibility Corrective Action Plan: Goal: To ensure timely completion, review, and all required signatures are obtained on the Family Services Agreements and retained on file. Plan: The County will require F&C Supervisors to log the most recent PPR/CFT meetings on the monthly spreadsheet to track when the next FSA will be due for review. Performance Improvement Strategies: 1. All PPR/CFT meetings will be held for each child in FC DSS custody every three months. 2. The meeting includes but is not limited to completion of FSAs and any other review tools necessary. All completed forms will have two-level review and signature and be maintained in the record. 3. The F&C Division already has a monthly spreadsheet to track monthly contact with youth in care. Two additional columns will be added to track the most recent meeting/form and the second column will target when the next id due to be reviewed. 4. All Supervisors will be expected to complete the two additional columns monthly recording the date of the last FSA review and projecting the next FSA review due date. 5. The Program Manager and Division Director will review the spreadsheet monthly to ensure that all FSAs have been completed timely. 6. In the event that an FSA is found to be untimely, the Supervisor/Program Manager/Division Director will ensure that the assigned caseworker completes the FSA review within 5 business days and routes any untimely forms for Program Manager review. Responsible Parties: Family & Children?s Services Division Director, Foster Care/Adoptions Program Manager, All Foster Care Supervisors, and Social Workers Timeframes: Policy will be communicated to responsible parties no later than April 1, 2023 and implemented effective immediately.
