Notice of Intent to Adopt the DeMinimis Cost Rate For Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The purpose of this document is to formally announce that the Bamberg County Office on Aging is taking the necessary administrative steps to adjust its indirect cost recovery method. Effective July 1, 2026 (Fiscal Year 2026-2027), the agency will elect to charge a de minimis rate (15%) for indirect costs. Please be advised that we are unable to adjust the current indirect cost rate within the Grant Management System (GMS) at this time (FY 25-26), as any modification would disrupt the financial reporting and accounting structures of the active fiscal year. The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has been formally notified that this change is technically non-viable for the current period; therefore, the implementation of the new rate will be deferred until the commencement of Fiscal Year 2026-2027 to ensure fiscal consistency and audit compliance.

Name of Contact Person – Stephanie Cooper, Chief Fiscal Officer Recommendation: It was recommended that management correct the payroll system data to ensure accurate percentages are entered for workers’ compensation and implement a review procedure to monitor payroll liabilities each month for accuracy. It was further recommended that program management consult with their Head Start coordinator for further guidance on corrective actions regarding the 2024-25 overstatement. Action Taken: Management identified the error at the close of the 2024-25 fiscal year and suspended the bi-weekly allocation of workers compensation expense, allowing payments to relieve the overstated liability throughout the 2025-26 fiscal year. Accordingly, the Federal Head Start Program will not be charged with workers’ compensation expense in the 2025-26 program year to correct for the 2024-25 overstatement.

Regarding 2025-002 Transaction Approvals, CFO Jill Hansen and Executive Director Michele Craig submitted corrective action in last year’s response to the significant deficiency Expense Approval Documentation 2024-002 on 1/22/25, which included an internal audit of all financial transactions and an evaluation of the reasonableness of the approvals in the current policy. At the time of the audit and proposed corrective action, we were already 5 months into the new fiscal year, and those transactions had already occurred so we were aware of potential findings. The specific 2025 findings include the timeliness of supervisor approval, the lack of supervisor approval, and the timeliness of the executive director approval of journal entries. For the timeliness of supervisor approval these systems are already in place based on last year’s corrective action. Regarding the lack of supervisor approval, managers and fiscal staff will have refresher training on the approvals needed for credit card claims which will be addressed at our next Managers’ Meeting on March 31, 2026. Additionally, the CFO now reconciles the credit card statements and reviews all associated claim forms. Regarding the executive director approval of journal entries, the CFO will obtain executive director approval and signatures on all journal entries before publishing financial statements. This step has been added to the month-end checklist. All corrective action will be implemented by April 30, 2026. The Executive Director, Michele Craig will be responsible for implementing the corrective action.

Re: 2025-001 Filing and Accuracy of the SF-425 & 2025-002 Transaction Approvals The senior management team including the Executive Director Michele Craig, CFO Jill Hansen, and the Finance Committee of the Governing Board have reviewed and agree with the audit findings. Regarding the 2025-001 Filing and Accuracy of the SF 425, in order to file the semi-annual SF 425 that was due on 1/30/25 for the period of 7/1/24-12/31/24 we needed to have closed accounting periods with accurate financial statements. When our CFO Jill Hansen began in early December 2024, the last month that had been closed was September 2024 due to the resignation of both the accounting tech and the CFO. It took several months to accurately close and update financial records. We now have a checklist of month-end tasks that ensures the generation of accurate and on time financial statements. These tasks and deadlines are incorporated in the fiscal calendar that will be reviewed with the Finance Committee each month. We successfully submitted the most recent semiannual SF 425 on time and will meet the next SF 425 deadline, October, 2026. The above corrective actions have been incorporated and this issue has been corrected.

The Authority will develop and implement a standardized fiscal year transition and grant charging process to ensure controls are in place for accurate and timely recording of grant eligible expenditures. As part of this process, the Authority will develop a verification checklist for all funding source reclassification journal entries to ensure compliance prior to posting. This process will: - Identify all stakeholders responsible for year‑end grant reconciliation and reporting. - Establish a required review and approval process to be completed before any change in funding source or charging mode. - Update Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual to include guidelines to limit reclassification of expenditures incurred in prior fiscal years. - Set a formal annual cut-off date for Program Offices to request current year funding source reclassifications, allowing sufficient time for the Funds and Grants Management team to review and meet fiscal year‑end reporting deadlines. - Refine current monitoring mechanism for “yet‑to‑bill” transactions throughout the fiscal year for transferred transactions that originated in the general ledger to ensure all federal expenditures incurred within the period are reviewed and reported in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting. - Ensure the requirements for eligibility of expenses for Federal grants from 2 CFR 200.403 are enforced.

2025-001: Late Return of Title IV Financial Aid - Student Financial Aid Cluster - Assistance Listing #s 84.007, 84.033, 84.063- Grant Period - Year Ended June 30, 2025 Condition Found During our Return of Title IV Fund testing, we noted that the College did not calculate or return Title IV Student Financial Aid for two out of twenty-five students tested until after 45 days when the student ceased attendance. We consider the untimely calculation and Return of Title IV Student Financial Aid to be an instance of noncompliance relating to the Special Tests and Provisions Compliance Requirement. This is a repeat finding of prior year finding 2024-001. Corrective Action Plan In the first instance, the Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculation was completed timely; however, the associated disbursement was not processed within the required timeframe. Going forward, Title IV aid disbursements related to R2T4 calculations will be processed manually at the time the calculation is completed. The institution will no longer wait for regularly scheduled system disbursement dates in these circumstances. In the second instance, the student withdrew from the 8-week-1 courses but remained registered for the 8- week-2 courses; therefore, an R2T4 calculation was not initially completed. The student ultimately did not begin attendance in the 8-week-2 courses, and the 45-day timeframe elapsed. To prevent future occurrences, RLC will complete an R2T4 calculation at the time of withdrawal from the 8-week-1 courses and will reverse the calculation if the student subsequently attends the 8-week-2 courses. Responsible Person for Corrective Action Plan - ReAnne May, Director of Financial Aid Implementation Date of Corrective Action Plan - January 16, 2026
