FINDING 2025-002 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) -- Earmarking Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Tina Smith Contact Phone Number and Email Address: (765) 825-2178 tlsmith@fayette.k12.in.us INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS 26 2 Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with this finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: It is increasingly difficult to get our non-public schools to spend their grant money. However, to address the internal control finding, we will strengthen subrecipient monitoring by implementing clearer expenditure timelines for subrecipient entities associated with the grant to ensure awarded funds are expended properly and in a timely manner in accordance with grant requirements. We will also provide additional technical assistance and guidance regarding allowable costs and conduct more frequent financial reviews throughout the grant cycle. These measures will promote timely use of funds, improve compliance with grant requirements, and reduce the risk of unspent or improperly managed grant resources in future periods. Anticipated Completion Date: A new procedure is in place effective February 2026.

Finding: #2025-002- Time and Effort Reporting Assistance Listing/Program Title: #84.027 A/IDEA Flow Through and #84.173A/Preschool Entitlement (Special Education Cluster) Federal Agency/Pass-Through Entity: U.S Department of Education/Wisconsin Department of lnstruction Award Numbers/Year: 2025-133332-DPI-FLOW-341 and 2025-133332-DPI-PRESCH-347/2024-2025 Criteria: In accordance with the federal Uniform Guidance, charges to federal awards for salaries and benefits must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. Such records must be supported by time and effort documentation. Condition: During the auditors' testing of payroll charges, it was noted that the District did not maintain adequate time and effmi documentation to support the allocation of salaries and benefits to the Special Education Cluster. Specifically, one employee's time was coded to the Special Education Cluster at a fixed 10% allocation. Cause: The District did not have adequate internal controls to ensure required time and effort documentation was consistently obtained and maintained for all employees whose salaries and benefits were charged to the Special Education Cluster. Staff turnover and lack of training contributed to inconsistent application of federal requirements. Effect: Because required time and effort documentation was not properly maintained, salaries and benefits charged to the Special Education Cluster may not accurately reflect actual time spent working on the program. As a result, these costs are unallowable under the Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: The absence of proper documentation results in questioned costs of $7,037, representing the salary and benefit amounts charged to the program for the one employee without adequate support. Recommendation: The auditor recommends that the District strengthen internal controls over time and effort reporting to ensure all employees funded in whole or in part by federal programs complete required documentation in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Additionally, a monitoring process should be implemented to ensure time distribution report is are completed accurately and retained in accordance with record-keeping requirements. Response: Management concurs with the finding and will implement internal control improvements to ensure full compliance with federal time and effort documentation requirements.

Finding #2025-001 - Material Audit Adjustments Criteria: Proper financial closing and year-end reconciliation procedures should be in place to identify and adjust the financial records to ensure the financial statements are fairly stated. Condition: The auditors proposed audit adjustments that, if not made, would have resulted in the financial statements being materially misstated. Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and material adjustments were needed in order to con-ect various transactions. The District's system of internal control may not prevent, detect, or correct misstatements in the financial statements. 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. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded and reconciled in a timely manner. Response: The District acknowledges their responsibility for the financial statements and recording of the current year activity. Going forward, the District will verify that all activity is completely and accurately recorded in the financial records and reflected on the financial statements.

Corrective Action Plan - Federal Award Finding Finding 2025-001 Federal Agency Name: US DOT, Federal Railroad Administration Assistance Listing: 20.325 Program Name: Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Initial Year Finding Occurred: Fiscal Year 2025 Reporting Finding Sum...
Corrective Action Plan - Federal Award Finding Finding 2025-001 Federal Agency Name: US DOT, Federal Railroad Administration Assistance Listing: 20.325 Program Name: Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Initial Year Finding Occurred: Fiscal Year 2025 Reporting Finding Summary: The auditor identified an instance in which one quarterly SF-425 (report) did not reflect cumulative federal cash receipts and disbursements as required by the reporting instructions. Instead, the report reflected only the current quarter's ended federal cash activity. No additional reporting errors were identified by the audit, and the other reporting lines were prepared correctly. Auditor’s Recommendation: The auditor recommends that management continue to strengthen review procedures over SF-425 preparation, including documented review of cumulative cash reporting and verification of all report attributes, particularly during periods when backup personnel are responsible for report preparation. Management’s Response: Management concurs that an error occurred on one SF-425 report for a single reporting period. The error occurred during a sta􀆯ing transition and involved a field that FRA does not require, and that had not historically been populated. Additionally, FRA and FTA use the same SF-425 form but apply di􀆯erent reporting conventions; FTA requires the field to be reported quarterly rather than cumulatively, which contributed to the confusion. As noted in the audit finding, this was a reporting error only. There were no questioned costs, no billing inaccuracies, and no impact on the underlying financial activity. Corrective Action: Management has implemented the following actions to prevent recurrence: • Updated internal procedures to clearly distinguish FRA and FTA reporting requirements. • Implemented a two-step review process in which one sta􀆯 member prepares all federal financial reports and a second sta􀆯 member performs an independent review prior to submission. • Expanded procedure on reporting when primary sta􀆯 are unavailable, including cross training and adding backup for both reporting and review. These actions strengthen internal controls, ensure consistency across federal reporting, and reduce the risk of future reporting discrepancies. Responsible Individual: Heather McKillop, Chief Financial O􀆯icer Anticipated Completion Date: March 2026

During fiscal year 2025, Kennedy Krieger Institute identified a control weakness with our established FFATA reporting control. After thorough review of active subaward agreements, Kennedy Krieger Institute identified two contracts that were not reported timely as the projects were not centrally managed and therefore fell outside of its normal research administration process. Upon identification, Kennedy Krieger Institute promptly submitted the FFATA reports via SAM.gov. Kennedy Krieger Institute has since enhanced its FFATA reporting control through strengthened governance, system improvements, and expanded oversight. As part of the Institute’s Subaward Management processes, the FFATA reporting process has been clearly defined and communicated to all grant managers, ensuring that all subawards are maintained within a centralized sponsored projects reporting system (Fibi), regardless of the team responsible for award management. Fibi has been updated to include a required checkbox and date field indicating when FFATA reporting has been completed and the associated submission date. In addition, Kennedy Krieger Institute is working with system developers to implement a standard system-generated report that can be run monthly or on an ad hoc basis to identify all subawards subject to FFATA reporting, enabling Finance to validate completeness and timeliness across all areas. Finance will complete regular checks of subawards set up in the financial system of record in comparison to Fibi to ensure all subawards are being reported timely. These enhancements establish a checks and balances framework through clearly defined shared responsibilities and coordinated oversight between the Research Administration and Finance departments. This control enhancement was implemented for the January 2026 FFATA reporting cycle.
