SUMMARY SCHEDULE OF PRIOR AUDIT FINDINGS Enumclaw School District No. 216 September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022 This schedule presents the status of findings reported in prior audit periods. Audit Period: September 1, 2020 ? August 31, 2021 Report Ref. No.: 1030921 Finding Ref. No.: 2021-001 Assistance Listing Number(s): 84.425 Federal Program Name and Granting Agency: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund, U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Agency Name: Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Finding Caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with Davis-Bacon Act (prevailing wage rate) requirements. Background: During the 2020-2021 school year, the District paid $658,502 from its ESSER II award to 11 contractors to repair and replace the roof at two schools, update HVAC controls in seven schools, and replace wet and rotting insulation to improve air quality and circulation to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, the District used its ESSER II award to replace faulty and broken bathroom sinks to allow for safe and consistent use of sinks for hand washing. Our audit found the District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with federal prevailing wage rate requirements. Specifically, the District did not collect weekly certified payroll reports from the contractors to confirm they paid laborers proper prevailing wages. We consider this deficiency in internal controls to be a material weakness, which led to material noncompliance. The issue was not reported as a finding in the prior audit.

In Response to Federal Award Finding, Finding 2022-003 ? Material Weakness and Material Noncompliance ? Special Tests ? Sliding Fee. Health centers must obtain sliding fee applications so that amounts owed for health center services by eligible patients are adjusted (discounted) based on the patient?s ability to pay. We tested 60 sliding fee encounters and noted that 1 of 60 sliding fee encounters tested received the wrong slide. We noted 6 of 60 sliding fee applications were missing an approving sign off. We noted 2 of 60 sliding fee applications were missing and not on file. We noted 1 out of 60 sliding fee applications did not properly document an extension in the slide eligibility period. We noted 1 out of 60 sliding fee encounters was not properly charged a lab visit fee in accordance with the policy. Lastly, we noted 1 out of 60 sliding fee encounters had a wrong correcting adjustment applied to the patient account. Responsible Person: Stephanie Smith, CPA, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Action Planned: Management will ensure sliding fee applications are completed and properly approved and that discounts for eligible patients are properly calculated, documented in files, processed and extended correctly when applicable, for each sliding fee patient. Management has carefully revised training materials for staff as well as new staff, and will work to ensure controls are followed to verify sliding fee discounts applied are correct based on the patient application. To help ensure compliance, the organization has already begun conducing sampling throughout the year to verify sliding fee applications are obtained, completed correctly, and applied accurately to accounts. Anticipated Completion Timeframe: To be completed by 3/31/23.

Recommendation: The System?s policy and procedures should be designed to ensure accurate reporting as required by the Uniform Guidance. View of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Corrective Action Planned: Management will design and ensure written policies and procedures will be created outlining processes and control activities to ensure reporting to federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities are complete and accurate. During the current fiscal year, Inova began implementing enhancements to Oracle?s Grants Accounting module. Once completed, this will assist management to automate certain processes and procedures that were not available after the initial implementation. The enhanced reporting capabilities will include automated reporting that will identify grants that expended federal awards. Grants Accounting will schedule quarterly meetings with Finance and GMO leadership present. The purpose of these meetings will be to review federal funding received that will ultimately be used in the preparation of financial reports submitted to the appropriate governing agencies. The Director of Grants Accounting will guide the meetings and obtain approvals from department leaders confirming amounts to be reported for federal grant awards. In preparation of the meetings, the Director of Grants Accounting will prepare an agenda to guide discussions of grant terms and conditions and applicable FAQs, more explicitly for awards received outside of Inova?s normal course of business (i.e., COVID-19). These meetings will also provide an opportunity for Finance, GMO, and Grants Accounting leaders to review the unique characteristics of the federal grant award programs on at least a quarterly basis. Meeting minutes will be maintained to document discussions and actions to be taken. The minutes will also serve as support for accounting memos related to special awards received that document Inova?s understanding of the award and related reporting requirements. All accounting memos will be prepared by the Director of Grants Accounting and reviewed by the Senior Director of Financial Reporting.

2022-002 ? Education Stabilization Fund ? Prevailing wage rate requirements Condition: There was one Education Stabilization Fund construction project performed by a contractor. Grant expenditures for the project paid by the Education Stabilization Fund totaled $33,000. There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contract and certified payrolls were not received. 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). 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.
