Person Responsible: Irene Math, Chief Financial Officer, Rajendra Mangal Director of Planning Comment: The Agency?s current policies and procedure on the preparation of the SEFA were not detailed enough to ensure all finds were identified as ether non-Federal, Federal or pass-through Federal awards, which resulted in the SEFA provided to the auditors to not accurately reflect certain Federal expenditures and Assistance Listing information. Response: WJCS understands its responsibility for complying with Single Audit requirements and acknowledges the importance of having appropriate internal controls which ensure completeness and accuracy of the Schedule or Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). WJCS has reviewed the current procedures and is in the process of implementing proper grant intake for new grants. Reconciliation to related financial statement information and internal review and approval is in the process of being documented. Proper agency grant intake procedures will allow WJCS to easily determine the nature of the source of the grant, and any of the pertinent information which needs to be presented on the SEFA, including Assistance Listing, ratio of Federal funding and amount of pass-through Federal expenses. WJCS will utilize AICPA Auditee Practice Aids as a guide to revising existing procedures. Estimated Completion Date: Reporting Period Ending June 30, 2023

Persons Responsible: Irene Math, Chief Financial Officer, Karen Rosenthal Controller Comment: The federal program 93.829 requires that the distribution of salary and wages charged to federal awards be based on actual employee activity as reflected in personal activity reports (timesheets), prepared after-the-fact, that include the total activity for which employees were compensated Response: WJCS implemented weekly manual timesheets to track staff time and attendance on Federal contracts. These timesheets are used to appropriately allocate salaries and wages to federal awards. However, these timesheets are not integrated into a standard agency-wide payroll processing system. In automated systems, timesheets are embedded in an organization?s time and attendance and payroll system. In the first quarter of 2023 WJCS commenced the process of building and implementing an agency-wide time and attendance system for all WJCS employees. This includes working with our existing payroll processor, and engaging payroll consultants to ensure comprehensive timekeeping, including maintaining the allocation of hours worked by program for all employees. Utilizing these enhancements to payroll tracking will allow WJCS to completely and accurately allocate payroll costs with fewer mechanical steps which increase the risk of miscalculations, and therefore, less errors in Federal reporting. Estimated Completion Date: The agency-wide time and attendance system will be implemented by December 31, 2023.

ALN No. 97.036, Disaster Grants ? Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters); Award Number: 033-UECF5-00; Award Year: January 1, 2020 to July 1, 2022; Pass-Through Entity: State of Washington Military Department Emergency Medicine Division; Award Number: D20-368 Finding: Activities Allowed or Unallowed ? The controls were not sufficient to ensure that purchase orders issued for capital purchases were fully fulfilled and paid prior to submission for program reimbursement. Status: Corrective action in progress. Corrective Action: Internal controls will be strengthened in future periods to ensure that costs are incurred prior to submission for program reimbursement. Instead of tracking purchase orders issued we will utilize general ledger details ensuring only purchase orders with receipts and subsequent invoices are included in reimbursement requests. The accounting team will pull invoice and payment support which will be reviewed by the Director of Finance prior to submission to ensure all expenditures have been paid prior to submitting a request for reimbursement.

ALN No. 93.498, Provider Relief Fund; Award Year: Periods 2 and 3: July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 Finding: Activities Allowed or Unallowed ?

The Housing Authority of the City of Bessemer recognizes the need for satisfactory internal controls. The Housing Authority has hired a compliance officer to conduct file review and audits on all program files. Reports are prepared and submitted to executive management upon completion. This process was instituted January 1, 2023 and has proved to be an upgrade in our internal control environment.

The Housing Authority of the City of Bessemer agrees with the identified deficiencies and a plan or action has been developed to strengthen internal controls. The Housing Authority of the City of Bessemer recognizes the need for satisfactory internal controls. The identified deficiency was a result of interruption in inspections due to an unprecedented pandemic. Although, inspections were reinstated, the Housing Authority failed to complete all catch-up inspections. The Housing Authority hired a third-party vendor to conduct all inspections as a result of this deficiency. We have also hired a compliance officer to conduct file audits and confirm that all HUD required policies are met in all programs. We believe that these adjustments will ensure that our internal control environment is greatly improved.

Management Response: We understand and agree that the audit is being completed and submitted later the requirement of ?within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless a different period is specified in a program-specific audit guide.? Corrective Action Plan: Because of the challenges with our prior audit engagement for 2020-2021 and the extended time to complete that audit, we could not engage in the audit for 2021-2022 until April of 2023. The 2020-2021 audit was submitted in February of 2022, and that is when we reached out to the current auditor for an engagement to begin this audit. This has caused a snowball effect that may also delay our ability to complete and submit the next audit (2022-2023) in a timely fashion as well. While we are working diligently to keep this from being the case, there are significant challenges in securing and engaging reasonably-priced auditors that understand the complexities of the type of funding we have (multiple Revolving Loan Funds & two CARES Act Grants).

Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Wanda Spradley, Director Financial Aid and Jennifer Sauer, AVP and Controller Finding 2022-001 Corrective Action Plan: The finding is related to required enrollment information being reported to National Student Loan Data System which can include a variety of part time statuses as well as changes in field of study. All 3 of the students indicated as not being reported were from changes in field of study. The data to be reported includes Classification of Instructional Programs (?CIP?) codes provided by the U.S. Department of Education. The CIP codes were updated in 2020, and the college did not update its registration system. With the old codes used in the enrollment change reporting, the changes were effectively shown as ?not reported?. The Registrar?s office is updating all CIP codes in the Banner database to correct this going forward. Since it is more than halfway through fiscal 2022-23, it may possibly show as an issue next year prior to February 1, 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: February 28, 2023
