As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthen internal controls, VIDE is finalizing its comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Equipment and Real Property Management. To directly address the recommendation for improved monitoring and communication, the Fixed Asset Director is implementing a formal process to perform and document quarterly inventory reconciliations, ensuring timely coordination across all divisions handling federal assets. Munis serves as our official system of record. Current controls dictate that all required data fields (as outlined in 2 CFR 200.313) must be inputted before an asset record can be created in the system. The Government acknowledges the current limitation where a system reporting error prevents certain populated information from exporting onto standard reports. The Third-Party Fiduciary Agent (TPFA) is actively escalating this issue with Munis technical support. To ensure compliance to date, no permanent system solution has been found; therefore, the Fixed Asset Director will implement an interim workaround. This will involve utilizing alternative data queries or manual consolidation from the Munis asset profiles to ensure that complete, fully compliant equipment listings can be successfully generated and provided upon request until the system reporting error is permanently resolved by the TPFA and Munis.

VIDE will reinforce its procedures for tracking, compiling, and storing documentation related to grant expenditures. To achieve the necessary level of control precision, VIDE has successfully finalized the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) governing the calculation, tracking, and record retention of indirect costs. Currently, the Third-Party Fiduciary Agent (TPFA) controls and executes this specific process on behalf of the Department. To ensure the newly finalized procedures are fully operationalized, VIDE is scheduling mandatory training. VIDE will coordinate directly with the TPFA to facilitate this training for all relevant VIDE staff. This will ensure that internal personnel are fully equipped to actively verify, compile, and securely store the required check payment details and detailed project expenditure reports. Building this internal capacity will strengthen VIDE's oversight of the TPFA's processes and prevent future documentation gaps.

VIDE will strengthen payroll and personnel action controls by requiring the Budget Team and Deputy Commissioner to review and approve all personnel actions before NOPA execution to validate pay rates. Furthermore, Payroll will establish a final review step to reconcile approved hours against both the payroll processing register and the final reimbursement invoice. Approved timesheets, Notices of Per Diem, and related payroll support will be centrally retained in SharePoint by pay period and attached to applicable invoices or general ledger journal entries. Program staff and supervisors will receive mandatory training on updated timesheet procedures and federal time and effort requirements. The Office of Fiscal and Administrative Services will also conduct monthly spot checks of SharePoint repositories and ERP logs to document compliance, identify control gaps, and ensure timely corrective action. Finalization of the formal SOPs and supporting controls is a top priority to achieve the necessary level of control precision and prevent repeat findings.

VIDE is currently working towards developing formal procedures to establish controls operating at a level of precision that ensures timely and accurate reporting compliance. As part of this ongoing development, VIDE will govern these new procedures through the Integrated Fiscal Control Model within the Office of Federal Grants. To correct the discrepancies between the Annual Report and underlying data, VIDE will implement a mandatory multi-level reconciliation process. Prior to the submission of any Annual Report, Program Directors and the fiscal team must cross-reference and validate all reported programmatic and financial data against the ERP system of record and official source documents. A final sign-off will be required to certify data accuracy. Furthermore, to address the Transparency Act requirements, VIDE will institute a strict compliance workflow. The Office of Federal Grants will be required to identify, register, and report all applicable first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more into the FSRS portal within the federally mandated timeframe. To ensure FFATA submissions are consistently completed, a secondary review step will be implemented to verify the FSRS submission confirmation before any initial reimbursement drawdowns are approved for the respective subrecipient.

VIDE has implemented additional system controls to ensure all procurements meet federal documentation standards and to adequately maintain completed contract files. To address documentation gaps and ensure compliance with suspension and debarment requirements, the department has transitioned to a model where the required contract, along with all necessary supporting documentation (specifically including bids, quotations, justification letters, and evaluation reports), must be attached directly to each invoice entry within the ERP system. This requirement ensures that a complete, centralized procurement file is retained and reviewed for compliance prior to any final disbursement.

VIDE is strengthening its internal controls and record retention procedures to ensure strict adherence to federal period of performance and liquidation provisions. To address the missing payment support, the department is enforcing a strict back-end system control. All required supporting documentation evidencing payment must be attached directly to the transaction entry within the ERP system prior to final disbursement. To address the specific instance regarding the missing indirect cost reimbursement report, VIDE will leverage its newly finalized Indirect Cost Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). VIDE will coordinate with the Third-Party Fiduciary Agent (TPFA) to ensure that all detailed reimbursement reports are actively verified and securely stored in a centralized repository before indirect costs are drawn down and liquidated. Furthermore, the Office of Fiscal and Administrative Services will implement a mandatory final review step during the grant closeout and liquidation phase. This review will systematically verify the presence and accuracy of all payment and indirect cost documentation within the ERP and SharePoint repositories, ensuring that all expenditures are properly supported, allowable, and completely liquidated within the mandated period of performance timeframe.

VIDE recognizes that the inability to verify underlying student and poverty data due to a lack of certified documentation is a critical internal control deficiency. Accordingly, VIDE will establish a formal data collection and certification process. VIDE will update its specific Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the collection of MFS and Earmarking data to mandate a process wherein LEAs will be required to submit a Student Count and Poverty Data Certification Form. This form must be signed by the District Superintendent and the District Data Manager to certify the student numbers and poverty counts as of the specific federal reporting date. Supporting source documentation, such as PowerSchool reports, must be attached to this certification. At the SEA level, the State Office of Special Education will be responsible for reviewing these submissions and issuing a formal Verification of Data Accuracy memo prior to the data being used for financial calculations. To address the recommendation for deployed resources and to correct the MOE deficiency, VIDE will formalize the organizational chart within the Federal Grants Office to clearly designate the team responsible for compliance reviews. This team will be tasked with conducting quarterly reviews of the certified data packets to ensure the documentation required for audit verification is securely archived and readily available. Additionally, the Budget Office and Federal Grants Office will implement a standard MFS Calculation Worksheet that requires the attachment of the certified source data and the specific approval and signature of the Deputy Commissioner of Fiscal and Administrative Services before the allocation is finalized. Finally, the Deputy Commissioner of Curriculum and Instruction will maintain a Compliance Review Log tracking the receipt of annual data certifications from the LEAs, and the Deputy Commissioner of Fiscal and Administrative Services will review this log alongside the MOE Calculation Worksheets prior to the submission of the Annual Performance Report.

DPNR recognizes the discrepancies identified between the employee pay rates reflected in the payroll registers and the Notices of Personnel Action (NOPAs) that were provided during the audit. Preliminary review indicates that the payroll system calculates employee compensation based on approved personnel actions maintained within the payroll system; however, it is possible that the NOPAs provided for audit testing did not reflect the most current approved personnel actions or subsequent amendments affecting employee compensation. Additionally, DPNR's procedures for maintaining and readily retrieving complete personnel and payroll support documentation were not sufficiently centralized to ensure that the most current supporting records were consistently available for audit review. DPNR will conduct a comprehensive internal review of the payroll transactions identified in the audit sample to determine the cause of the discrepancies between the payroll registers and the NOPAs provided during the audit. The review will include: • Verification of the official personnel actions maintained in the payroll system; • Review of any amended or revised NOPAs affecting employee compensation; • Reconciliation of payroll registers to approved personnel actions; • Verification that salaries and wages charged to Federal awards are properly supported and accurately reflected in official records; and • Identification and correction of any deficiencies in document retention or record management procedures.
