The District does have procedures in place for submitting accurate and timely reports to ISBE. The ESSER program was, hopefully, a one-time event in response to a national pandemic crisis. The District believes its expenses were accurately reported and appropriately used to address the needs of our students, especially with respect to addressing learning loss. To the extent that some expenses were considered not timely filed, we believe they met the intents and purposes of the program, and were filed in accordance with accepted protocols in place at the time. In any event, the District will reiterate with staff the necessity to follow procedures, including submission of timely expense reports with the ISBE.

Finding: 2024-003 – Special Tests and Provisions – Return of Title IV Funds Condition: During the testing of the return of Title IV funds, it was noted that on three (3) of five (5) tested calculation of funds to be returned had no documentation to determine if returns were completed timely as the College did not retain the lists of students associated with drawdowns and/or returns and two (2) of five (5) tested had not been returned as of the date of fieldwork which exceeded the required timeframe to return funds. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be written to provide internal control over the documentation used to complete the drawdowns, including returns, from Department of Education. We recommend the College establish a communication and record retention process that allows for the notification of students withdrawing and a control in place that allows the financial aid department to know the student financial aid was returned to Department of Education within the required timeframe. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: Areas of focus will be to put in place written policies and procedures for the Financial Aid office, including the area of disbursements that includes additional controls and documentation of such. Our objectives will be that all Financial Aid staff will be required to maintain documentation of any drawdowns of funds related to student financial aid. We have put in place a shared OneDrive electronic folder with restricted access to provide confidentiality and provide documentation of the shared communication between offices. Documentation of drawdowns and/or returns will be maintained within this folder. Staff will be trained on using the daily generated reports from Poise to monitor students who have withdrawal on their records so that this can be updated and proper calculations done. All financial aid staff will attend training to stay up to date on regulations and changes. Starting in July 2025 the new J1 system will be integrated with JFA (financial aid system). This will create operational efficiencies and reporting capabilities that are not currently available. Less manual transactions will also provide more accurate student reports. Measurable targets will be achieved by documenting the records within the OneDrive shared electronic folder between the Financial Aid office and the Business Office, who handles the return of funds. Daily changes and/or withdrawal of students will be monitored and funds will be returned as required. This will become of a part of the regular duties of staff.

Finding: 2024-002 – Special Tests and Provisions – Payment to Students Condition: During our testing of the financial aid disbursements, it was noted the College is not maintaining records of what students the drawdowns were for, therefore we were unable to determine if the amounts were posted to the student accounts within the required time frame and subsequently were paying out any credit balances created on student accounts. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be written to provide internal control over the documentation used to complete the drawdowns from the Department of Education. We recommend the College establish a communication and record retention process that allows for the notification of the student financial aid proceeds and a control in place that allows the financial aid department to know the student financial aid was applied to the student’s account timely. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: Areas of Focus will be in the documentation of policies and procedures to provide clear expectations of internal control documentation used to complete the drawdowns from the Department of Education and for a process of record retention. Our objective would be to formalize the policies and procedures in the Financial Aid policy manual. The policies and procedures will have shared access between the Financial Aid office who approves the aid, the Business Office who ultimately pulls down from the Department of Education, and with the Cashier who distributes any refunds. A OneDrive electronic folder has been created with restricted access to provide confidentiality and provide documentation of the shared communication between offices. The POISE system generates a listing of students. The list of students will be created for each draw-down that is initiated and will be placed in the shared folder in OneDrive. Draw-downs will not be initiated without a corresponding student list that shows the student account has been credited with the financial aid award. The documentation will be found in the shared OneDrive electronic folder, which has already been implemented. The transfer (interface) of student records into the financial system is being done weekly and documentation is retained of students for which transactions occur.

The School had established processes to ensure the accuracy of required reports. For the PDE Reconciliation of Cash on Hand Quarterly Reports, all filings were reviewed with management immediately following submission. Given the low risk of material misstatement associated with these reports, the existing procedures were effective in ensuring compliance. For the annual report, management conducted all reviews, discussions and approvals prior to submission; however, the review process was not formally documented. To strengthen internal controls, the School will implement a process to ensure that all reviews and approvals are documented in advance of submission. This will provide clear evidence of oversight while maintaining the efficiency of the reporting process. This is further evidenced by the Principal/CAO providing documented approval of the most recent report submission.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance Mercer Street Friends Center understands and acknowledges the findings outlined in the audit report. We acknowledge that all the necessary procurement procedures were performed, with the exception that MSF did not maintain the documentation for small purchases between $10,000 and $250,000. We recognize the importance of adhering to established procedures to maintain transparency, accountability, and compliance with applicable regulations. To address this finding, we have developed the following corrective action plan: 1. Immediate Action: MSF will ensure that all current and future procurement files for purchases within the specified range include proper documentation of the required three quotations by phone or internet, as outlined in our procurement policy. 2. Policy Reinforcement and Training: MSF will conduct training sessions for all staff involved in procurement to reinforce the importance of maintaining complete and accurate documentation. These sessions will ensure staff are well-informed and equipped to comply with the policy requirements. 3. Documentation Tools: To standardize the documentation process, we are introducing a quotation log template to ensure consistent recording of rate, price, and vendor details. 4. Enhanced Oversight and Prevention of Recurrence: MSF will implement a periodic review process to ensure compliance with documentation requirements. At least four random audits of procurement files will be conducted annually. MSF is committed to resolving this issue promptly, taking the necessary steps to strengthen our internal controls, and implementing measures to prevent recurrence. Anticipated Completion Date: Started January 1, 2025, and completed June 30,2025 Responsible Person: Xiumei Chen, Director of Finance

Catholic Charities is required to conduct at least monthly inventory of USDA foods. We tested all 12 food distribution locations for inventory reporting and two of the locations were unable to provide evidence of inventory work performed for the month of June 2024. Recommendation: Management should ensure that staff at the food distribution locations are aware of the compliance requirements and provide additional training deemed necessary. Inventory processes and internal controls can be tailored to the nature and size of the location receiving and distributing the food resources. Action Taken: Management will review monthly inventory reports for each food pantry going forward and ensure reports are created to report zero amounts of inventory at month end. Name of responsible person: Daniel O'Brien, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated completion date: March 1, 2025 If there are questions regarding this plan, please call Catholic Charitie of Los Angeles's, Chief Financial Officer at (213) 251-3410.
