Finding: The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction did not have adequate internal controls to ensure it performed risk assessments for subrecipients of the Special Education program. Questioned Costs: Assistance Listing # 84.027 84.027 COVID-19 84.173 Amount $0 Status: Corrective action in progress Corrective Action: In April 2022, the Office?s Special Education division revised and expanded the form package that Educational Service Districts (ESDs) need to submit as part of year-end reporting.

Finding: The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction did not have adequate controls over and did not comply with requirements to ensure it met the earmarking requirements for the Special Education program. Questioned Costs: Assistance Listing # 84.027 84.027 COVID-19 84.173 Amount $188,873 Status: Corrective action complete Corrective Action: When the Special Education program underwent a fiscal leadership transition in 2021, the incoming director identified necessary changes in agency procedures for closing out the fiscal year for the program. Since that time, the Office has fully implemented internal controls to ensure spending plans do not exceed the maximum allowable amounts earmarked for administration and other state-level activities. The updated procedures require the director of Operations and the budget analyst to perform the following: ? Review criteria for spending plans at the beginning of the fiscal year. ? Review the Grant Award Notice and Grants to States Summary Table and Preschool Grants to States Summary Table. ? Review spending plans and update the maximum allowable amounts earmarked for administration and other state-level activities in the spending plan throughout the fiscal year. ? Meet weekly to review spending plans and update plans as requests are received. ? Review monthly expenditure reports during weekly meetings. These updated procedures have contributed to increased communication and partnership between the director of Operations and the budget analyst. These internal controls provide assurance that maximum allowable amounts earmarked for administration and other state-level activities will be in compliance with federal rules. The Office will consult with the federal grantor to discuss whether the questioned costs identified in the audit should be repaid.

Material weakness in internal control/material noncompliance ? special tests and provisions. Over the 2022-2023 school year, the District will utilize the excess fund balance to improve the quality of the food service program. Despite following the spend down plan submitted to the Department of Education last year, the District still has a food service balance that exceeds the allowable balance by $129,204. The food service department will use the excess balance to continue to offer more new food choices, and continue to improve the quality of the food served (including more fresh produce and better quality ingredients). These improvements will continue to be in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Education's Office of School Support Services which will again approve the spending plan.

Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 error where unit never passed inspection and the Authority continued to make HAP payments when the contract should have been abated. Recommendation: The Authority should more closely monitor failed inspections to make sure that any units that have not passed re-inspection are not issued HAP payments until all repairs are made, and the HAP contract is terminated for any unit for which the owner has not made repairs within the allowed timeframe. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority concurs with this finding and will establish more review, oversight and training for the staff responsible for these procedures and assure that HAP payments are properly abated when repairs are not made within the required timeframes.

This had no effect on HAP rent. ? 1 error where adoption subsidy benefits were calculated incorrectly as well as the amount excluded from income. This decreased HAP rent by $9. ? 1 error where $1,753 in unreimbursed medical expenses was carried forward from the prior year 50058 and file had no support for any medical expenses in current year. This decreased HAP rent by $22 ? 1 error where there was no EIV report in file In addition to the above, we noted the following during our new admissions testing (21 new admissions tested): ? 1 error where there was no signed 214 affidavit in the file for one member of the household Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority concurs with this finding and has implemented a robust file review process, enhanced quality control procedures, and provided training on errors noted along with annual program training for all staff.

Management?s Views and Corrective Action Plan 2022-002: Incorrect lost revenue option selected for the HHS Portal submissions Department of Health and Human Resources ? Health Resources and Services Administration (?HRSA?) Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund (?PRF?) Assistance Listing Number: 93.498 Federal Award Year: Reporting Period 4 Management?s Response Management agrees with the finding as it relates to the selection of the incorrect option (Option (i)) for the calculation of lost revenues for one Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) entity within the Reporting Period 4 submission, as well as the incorrect response to the following question within the reporting portal: ?Did you acquire or divest subsidiaries that are ?eligible health care providers? during the period of availability of funds?? In 2021, the applicable TIN entity had less than a full year of operations. Although operations of the TIN ceased within 2021, management considered the actual revenues earned in 2021 within the Reporting Period 4?s period of availability to be appropriate for the lost revenue calculation per review and understanding of the reporting guidance, and therefore Option (i) was selected. The incorrect responses to the above noted reporting portal question was due to human error, and was not identified during the overall review prior to submission. To ensure accuracy and compliance with the reporting requirements, an additional level of detailed review of the portal submission will be added and required to be completed prior to final submissions. This review will include a comparison of the lost revenue option selected with the nature of the applicable TIN entity?s operations during the period of availability to ensure appropriateness of the selection with the guidance, as well as a detailed review of all responses to required questions within the reporting portal for accuracy. Anticipated Completion Date Reporting Period 5 is currently open, with a submission deadline of September 30, 2023. Management is currently in the process of completing this submission, with implementation of the additional review procedures discussed above included within the current submission process.

Management?s Views and Corrective Action Plan 2022-001: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards All Federal programs Federal Award year: 2021 Management?s Response Management agrees with the finding as it relates to the inclusive of expenditures of State awards. As part of the preparation and review of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the ?Schedule?), processes were in place to reconcile total expenditures under the program to the general ledger as well as the consolidated financial statements. In addition, analytical review was performed of variances in expenditures year-over-year, by program, to assess reasonableness of reported expenditures. During review of the 2021 CHIP program expenditures, management reconciled total expenditures to the general ledger and consolidated financial statements without exception, as both the general ledger and consolidated financial statements include total program expenditures (i.e., both federal and state are included). In addition, upon review of variances in total program expenditures in comparison to the previous award year, variances appeared reasonable as they remained relatively consistent year-over-year and with historical data. In fiscal year 2022, management has implemented additional steps into its reconciliation process to bifurcate the total expenditures between Federal and State expenditures prior to agreement to the general ledger and consolidated financial statements to ensure exclusion of State amounts when preparing the Schedule. In addition, within the analytical review process management utilizes the bifurcated totals to assess for reasonableness at the more detailed level regarding year-over-year variances. Anticipated Completion Date Additional reconciliation steps and bifurcation of amounts were implemented during the preparation and review of the 2022 Schedule. Responsible Parties ?

All federal Project and Expenditure reports were filed timely and all actual expenditures were also reported correctly according to the report overview page. This finding deals with the body of the report which incorrectly listed the Justice Center Project twice, with the obligation amount of $880,00 listed for the project. This duplicated project has been removed from future reports. The finding noted for $175,741, once again has all the correct totals in project overview report, which should be the summation of the report. We have been rehiring staff with American Rescue Plan funds since 2021, and this has been an ongoing project. Once again, the report overview page lists the correct expenditures, however the body of the report has the project listed twice. This duplicated project has been removed from future reports. The reporting software gives a total of expenditures before you hit submit on each report, this total has always displayed the correct cumulative expenditure total. If projects were entered twice, the total expenditures should of been over by these dollar amounts, and they were not.
