Finding Reference Number: 2022-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Senior Services Program Name: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Assistance Listing Number: 93.558 Responsible Official: Megan Bania, Executive Director Views of Responsible Individuals: The Board of Directors had difficulty filling the position of Finance Director in May of 2022. They hired a firm at the end of May, but the firm received very little support in making the transition to handling the SkillUp program billing from the outgoing Finance Director. Other resignations in the Finance Department left MCAN with no institutional knowledge of the billing process. The existing SkillUp program manager was not responsible and not trained in the financial reporting and billing for the program. The Board has resolved the issue by hiring a new SkillUp program manager and a new executive director.

Finding: 2022-001 Student Financial Assistance Cluster Special Tests and Provisions Department?s Response: We concur Corrective Action: This finding was due to human error. The spreadsheet was copied from the last year, and dates were updated to be the current year. The past year may have had a holiday which caused the G5 funds to be received an additional day before the disbursement date. When updating the dates to the current year, the 4 days was not caught. The form was only reviewed by the Director of Financial Aid. To prevent this error from occurring in the future, 3 members of the Finance Team will review and approve the Disbursement schedule so that there are 3 sets of eyes reviewing the dates. These 3 members will include the Director of Financial Aid, and any 2 of the following: Accounting Manager, Staff Accountant, Registrar, or Business Office and Bookstore Manager.

Finding 2022-001 - Enrollment Reporting Federal Program - Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Agency - U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Entity - Not Applicable ALN - 84.007, 84.033, 84.038, 84.063, 84.268 Federal Award Year - June 30, 2022 Criteria: Title IV regulations (34 CFR 685.309(b)) require that upon receipt of an enrollment report from the Secretary, institutions must update all information included in the report and return the report to the Secretary: (i) in the manner and format prescribed by the Secretary; and (ii) within the timeframe prescribed by the Secretary. Unless it expects to submit its next updated enrollment report to the Secretary within the next 60 days, an institution must notify the Secretary within 30 days after the date the institution discovers that: (i) a loan under Title IV of the Act was made to or on behalf of a student who was enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the institution, and the student has ceased to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis or failed to enroll on at least a half-time basis for the period for which the loan was intended; or (ii) a student who is enrolled at the institution and who received a loan under Title IV of the Act has changed his or her permanent address. Condition/Context: The change in student status for 6 of 25 students tested was not reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within 30 days or included in a response to a roster file within 60 days. A statistical sample was not used. Cause: The College failed to follow its procedures for reporting student status changes. Effect: The accuracy of Title IV student loan records depends heavily on the accuracy of the enrollment information reported by institutions. If an institution does not review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, effective dates of the enrollment status, and the anticipated completion dates, then the Title IV student loan records will be inaccurate in NSLDS. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: The College should review its policy on enrollment reporting to NSLDS. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Graduated Student Reporting: After submitting the end of term enrollment file for semester, the Registrar's Office (Assistant Registrar) submits a Graduates-Only Enrollment File to National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) for that semester. Any degrees conferred after the graduates only file will be entered manually on the NSC website. This process will report a graduated status for any student who graduated at the end of that semester. NSC will pass the graduated status along to NSLDS on the next student status change confirmation report (SSCR). Withdrawal Students Reporting: Formal withdrawals during the semester are reported on the next subsequent of term enrollment file that is sent to NSC. Students who formally withdraw between semesters, are reported manually to the NSC website. The clearinghouse will pass the withdrawn status along to NSLDS on the next SSCR. While the above procedures were in place for the 2021-22 fiscal year, staff turnover in the Registrar?s Office made it difficult to maintain and submit the appropriate files and manual entries to NSC. Management does not foresee this to be an issue moving forward. New staff members have been hired and trained on the appropriate procedures to ensure these internal controls are in place and effective for the required enrollment reporting. If the Assistant Registrar position would become vacant in the future, the Registrar would be responsible for NSC submissions until the position could be filled.

Corrective Action Plan Finding 2022-001 ? Reporting Federal Grantor: United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Assistance Listing No.: Assistance Listing 93.498, Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (PRF) Federal Award Numbers: N/A Federal Award Period of Performance: July 1, 2020 ? December 31, 2020 A material weakness was issued related to reporting for the Provider Relief Funds (PRF) that represented the major program subject to the Uniform Guidance (UG) audit. This included a compliance finding with no questioned costs. Community Foundation of Northwest Indiana, Inc. and Subsidiaries (CFNI) did not maintain written documentation of the detailed review and approval process of the underlying lost revenue calculations or the approval and sign-off process for the portal submission. CFNI Finance has developed a policy and checklist to maintain written documentation of the review and approval process required under current audit standards to improve internal controls going forward. Due to the timing of the prior year UG audit, the implementation of the new policy could not impact the current UG audit, resulting in the same finding. This has been corrected for future audits with the policy being effective October 2022. In the compliance finding, management failed to catch a change in formula to a large excel file returned from an external resource. This resulted in underreporting lost revenues for one entity. The finding affirms the need for an official policy identified in the reporting deficiency, which CFNI has fully corrected, and management will improve the review process and communication over changes to files sent and received from both internal and external resources. CFNI will correct the reporting error in the next reporting submission for period 4. Responsible Official: Pamela Pokropinski, Director Accounting & Financial Systems Status of finding: Fully corrected.

The Daleville City Board of Education (the Board) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended September 30, 2022. The finding from the September 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistent with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS ? FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT FINDINGS ? FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AUDITS Item 2022-001 ? Special Tests and Provisions ? Wage Rate Requirements Recommendation: 2 CFR 200.303 requires the non-Federal entity to ?(a) establish and maintain effective internal controls over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award.? 2 CFR 200.326 and 29 CFR Part 5, Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Governing Federally Financed and Assisted Construction (DOL Regulations) require the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). We recommend the strengthening of controls to ensure the prevailing wage rate clauses are included in the contracts and that certified payrolls are received for each week in which construction work is performed. The Chief School Financial Officer, Linda Harper, should review documentation for inclusion of the prevailing wage rate clauses in construction contracts as part of the bid process prior to expenditures being made. She should also review all invoices received from contractors and subcontractors to ensure that the certified payroll information is received for all weeks for which construction work is performed. Action Taken: Management has reviewed the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.303 and 2 CFR 200.326 relating to wage rate requirements and agrees with the recommendation. Management has already communicated with all contractors and subcontractors regarding the wage rate requirements and has implemented additional procedures, effective January 1, 2023, stating that the Chief School Financial Officer, Linda Harper, will review documentation for inclusion of the prevailing wage rate clauses in construction contracts as part of the bid process prior to expenditures being made. She will also review all invoices received from contractors and subcontractors to ensure that the certified payroll information is received for all weeks for which construction work is performed.

Finding: 2022-004 ? Immaterial Noncompliance ? Written Policies Required by the Uniform Grant Guidance Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: The Uniform Guidance requires a non-federal entity that has expended federal awards for a grant awarded on or after December 26, 2014, to have written policies pertaining to allowability of costs charged to federal programs, controlled activities over allowable costs and allowable activities, cash management, financial management, procurement, compensation/payroll, travel costs, and relocation cost of employees (?200.300 - 328)). This condition appears to be the result of a time lag in identifying the requirement and developing a plan for compliance. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the Village ensures these policies are updated to conform with the Uniform Guidance as soon as practical, but no later than the end of fiscal year 2023. Corrective Action: The Village agrees to the condition/finding of written policies required by the Uniform Grant Guidance. Management and Village agrees Responsible Person: Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2023

Finding: 2022-003 ? Material Weakness over Federal Awards ? Controls over Suspension and Debarment Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: The Village had no controls in place, as required by the Uniform Guidance, to ensure that all parties that the Village enters into covered transactions with are eligible for participation in federal assistance programs or activities. However, during our testing, we found that all covered transactions entered into by the Village were with eligible parties. As a result of this condition, the Village had increased risk of inadvertently entering into a covered transaction with an ineligible party. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the Village Council and management adopt, and follow, written policies and procedures (that conform with requirements of the Uniform Guidance) to ensure that future contracts are properly documented and awarded in a manner that documents that the Village verified all parties under covered transactions are eligible for participation in federal programs or activities. Corrective Action: The Village agrees to the condition/finding of controls over suspension and debarment. Management and Village Council will implement a policy and controls in place no later than 12/31/23 Responsible Person: William Ward Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2023

The error identified during the audit was the result of a miscommunication with HRSA personnel. When management reached out to the agency regarding the recording of excess revenues for certain quarters, the Organization was directed to offset lost revenues in other quarters. This led to the underreporting of lost revenues. If the Organization has future PRF reporting requirements, these quarters will be revised to reflect the corrected amounts.

We felt our audit preparation was actually better this year than last.
