Management Comments and Corrective Action: During the course of the single audit for the year ending August 31, 2022, it was noted that SWK "legacy" contracts did not follow the established procurement policy and procedures which requires SWK to obtain quotes from at least three sources and/or did not document the quotations in the procurement file for one expenditure between $25,000 to $100,000. This instance of noncompliance noted was for a consumer goods (i.e., clothing, and personal healthcare). Due to the growing need to adequately care for the minors at SWK’s shelters coupled with the limitations of access to vendors caused by COVID-19, SWK utilized an existing vendor to minimize significant disruptions to operations. The Organization is aware they are operating under contracts that were procured in previous years that may not have all the records maintained. Reprocuring all of these contracts at once would potentially cause disruptions in operations due to the products/services related those vendors playing an important role in the Organization’s day-to-day operations. In April 2021, the Organization, hired new procurement leadership and invested Full Time Employees (FTEs) to develop a robust procurement department. As a result of this procurement revamp, Procurement adopted a hybrid model, and Desktop Protocols were established to provide universal procedures to fulfill policy. Protocols instruct staff on obtaining three quotes and provided tools for the selection of the vendor. In addition, quality protocols and tools are currently in development to verify a random sample of procurement transactions and files. The Organization still has several active contracts procured under the old policies that they are working on reprocuring as these contracts’ renewal dates arise, if not earlier. Proposed Implementation Date of Corrective Action: In process and to be completed by December 31, 2023. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Fred Muniz, CFO 2023

CONDITION: The ROE did not have adequate controls over subrecipient monitoring in compliance with the Code. PLAN: The ROE retroactively conducted monitoring of the subrecipients of the ARP - Social Emotional Learning grant passed through the ISBE. The subrecipients of this grant were all other ROEs in the Area IV hub (ROEs 9, 17, 32, and 54) with funds going out for administration costs. Since it is common knowledge that each ROE is audited annually by the Illinois Auditor General, further audit consideration was unnecessary. The ROE will draft subrecipient monitoring policies and procedures to align with standards. Future monitoring will be scheduled in December 2023. ANTICIPATED DATE OF COMPLETION: New policy and procedures implemented partially in FY23 and fully for FY24. CONTACT PERSON: Ms. Jill Reedy, Regional Superintendent

CONDITION: The ROE did not ensure costs or expenditures were adequately documented, reviewed, and approved to ensure allowability under the federal award. PLAN: Past practice and policy during the FY22 audit, allowed for the Business Manager to sign off on purchase orders and requisitions related to monthly, reoccurring bills. New management is working on updated fiscal policies. A new Accounts Payable employee was hired in March 2023 by ROE management and trained by the Business Manager, along with Program Directors, on procedures for expenditures. Procedures have been put into place to ensure that all expenditures are signed by the Program Director or Assistant/Regional Superintendent to indicate review and approval of expenditures. After being signed by a Program Director or Assistant/Regional Superintendent, the expenditure goes to the Business Office where the Business Manager will check for appropriate signatures and will pass on to Accounts Payable for a final check for appropriate signatures and supporting invoices prior to payment. ANTICIPATED DATE OF COMPLETION: This was implemented in March 2023. CONTACT PERSON: Ms. Jill Reedy, Regional Superintendent

The Regional Superintendent has created a shared calendar of submission due dates with the Business Manager and Program Directors. Reminders are sent out via email in advance of the due dates, and then management reviews the grant report submissions in IWAS for accuracy and completion before approving and submitting to ISBE. ANTICIPATED DATE OF COMPLETION: This plan was initiated during the new Regional Superintendent’s appointment to office in October 2022 and has been fully implemented since January 2023.

Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: This initiative was a collaboration between the Finance Grants Team, Brandie Hall and Bobby Morris-Culp, and the COO, Jennifer Johnson, representing the programs side of the contract. Anticipated Completion Date: A proper Time Activity Report was implemented October 1, 2022. Corrective Action Plan: Although Foster Adopt Connect did not receive the results from the 2021 Independent Audit conducted by other auditors until November of 2022, due to the close time proximity, was able to design a compliant Time Activity Report and have staff utilize said reports to track time beginning October 1, 2022, which was the beginning of the FFY/Contract funding period. This would indicate that this is not in fact, a repeat finding.

Condition and Cause: As part of our federal compliance testing we reviewed supporting documentation used to submit claims for lunch and breakfast programs. Our review noted one instance where the breakfast meals were submitted as lunch meals. Questioned Costs: $7,864 Criteria: Districts must submit monthly claims for reimbursement for meals served to eligible students within 60 days following the last day of the month covered by the claim. Each month’s claim for reimbursement and all data used in the claims review process must be maintained on file. Accurate records must be maintained justifying all meals claimed and documenting that all Program funds were spent only on allowable Child Nutrition Program costs. Effect: If incorrect amounts are reported, the District could either receive disallowed aid, or be missing out on additional aid. Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend the District review of current procedures for compiling and reporting the information submitted in order to verify accurate claims are submitted to DPI. Grantee Response: The District is working with DPI to correct the claims and will implement procedures to ensure that claims are accurate. Contact Person: Jessica Lien Anticipated Completion: Ongoing
