2 CFR 1000.10 gives regulatory effect to the U.S. Department of Treasury for 2 CFR 200.332 which states, in part, pass-through entities must ensure every subaward includes requirements that the pass-through entity imposes on the subrecipient in order for the pass-through entity to meet its own responsibility to the Federal awarding agency including identification of any required financial and performance reports. The grant’s pass-through entity is the Ohio Office of Budget and Management (OBM). State Fiscal Recovery Funds K-12 School Safety Grants Frequently Asked Questions require recipient schools to complete quarterly financial status reports via the OBM grants portal until they have spent all funds and completed their projects. The District did not have proper internal controls in place to ensure the accurate completion and submission of the quarterly financial status reports. During testing of quarterly financial status reports for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (AL #21.027), we noted the quarterly financial status report for the period of July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 omitted $360,084 in grant expenditures paid during this period. Failure to have the proper controls in place to ensure the accurate submission of the quarterly financial status reports could result in Treasury taking action against the District for failure to comply with programmatic requirements. The District should implement and have controls in place to ensure the quarterly expenditure reports are accurate.

All free and reduced lunch applications are entered electronically to PaySchools by the parent/guardian of the child. They input their own financial information. We as a school choose the guidelines in the program, which is the exact information given to us by the State of Ohio to determine eligibility. Because PaySchools does not have a SOC1 report for Ohio, we must physically verify all applications, so what we will start doing as of 2/26/2025 is the treasurer’s office staff and the food service director will do what we did before this technology existed and print them out on paper and do the same math the computer program did and paid money for to verify the same information the program already determined to make sure the program verified the information correctly. Because this process is starting as of 2/26/205, the treasurer’s office staff will review all of the applications prior to 2/26/2025.

2024-003 Plan: As of 03/20/2025 this is complete. Objective: Ensure that there is a recorded time date stamp of the notification itself. Process: To implement this in an effective and accurate setup we will execute the Batch Assign Transmittal CM Codes (BATC) process to improve communication code assignment and correspondence management. To implement the Batch Assign Transmittal CM Codes (BATC) process, we will execute the BATC process immediately following the completion of the transmittal, ensuring all necessary parameters are set accurately. Next, we will establish a communication code through the Communication Management Center (CMC), with IT Support responsible for associating an immediate print document with the code. This setup will leverage the options available within the BATC system, including assignment to specific awards, categories, and exclusions as needed. Subsequently, we will utilize BATC to identify recipients for the communication code by setting parameters based on academic year, date ranges, award periods, and award categories. Once recipients are identified, we will verify that all students are included by checking the TA.ACYR file and the relevant code and date fields to ensure no omissions. Following this verification, we will assign the communication code within the CRI system, ensuring the status is marked as "Received" so that the immediate print document can be scheduled as pending correspondence. The next step involves managing the correspondence through the PCB process, with the option to use PCEX if necessary. It's important to ensure that the immediate print document is configured for email distribution. A review of the entire process will then be conducted by the office staff, analyzing outcomes and gathering feedback from team members to document any issues encountered and the resolutions applied. Finally, we will focus on continuous improvement, implementing feedback to address any problematic areas and scheduling a training session if required to cover the BATC and communication code processes. This structured approach aims to streamline operations and enhance accuracy in communication code assignments. This outlines the steps necessary to streamline the BATC process and enhance accuracy in communication code assignments. Regular reviews and adjustments based on team feedback will ensure ongoing improvement.

2024-002 Plan: As of 03/20/2025 this is complete. Objective: Ensure that the Return to Title IV calendar is set up correctly. In order to address the original setup of the Return to Title IV calendar that was done with Colleague specialists in the original setup, we now confirm that the calendar is now correctly established and that the previous issues have been resolved. Initially, the calendar was impacted by the inclusion of four federal holidays, which led to inaccuracies. To rectify this, we conducted thorough research and collaborated closely with Ellucian support to devise a robust annual setup plan that will prevent the recurrence of such errors in the future. Moving forward, we have instituted a proactive approach in which we will meticulously review and manually count the calendar each year prior to the start of the academic year. This ensures that all holidays and relevant dates are accurately reflected in the calendar to align with federal guidelines, effectively mitigating any potential disruptions. Through these measures, we aim to maintain compliance and enhance the overall integrity of our Return to Title IV processes. Objective: Ensure that the Return to Title IV funds are returned within the 45 day timeline. lnorder to address the timely return of funds within the 45-day federal timeframe, we acknowledge that this was our first year utilizing a new system, which presented a learning curve for our team. To address this challenge, we partnered with the Ellucian team to implement an automated notification system that triggers alerts at the 30-day mark whenever a Return to Title IV (R2T 4) calculation has been performed but the associated funds have not yet been returned or transmitted for return. This proactive measure is designed to enhance our operational efficiency and ensure compliance with federal regulations. By enabling timely notifications, we can better maintain the integrity of federal policies and the R2T 4 process itself, allowing our staff to take appropriate action and ensure that funds are returned promptly. Furthermore, we will conduct periodic reviews of this system and its effectiveness to identify any additional improvements, fostering ongoing compliance and strengthening our financial processes in future academic years.

As permitted by the West Virginia Department of Health, Health Facilities and Human Services’ (WVDHHFHS) State Opioid Response (SOR) General Operations Grant (G230821), Boone Memorial Hospital, Inc. (Hospital) acquired services through a local marketing and public relations agency that specialists in healthcare marketing. The services provided, totaled $10,000, included a video production session arranged by the local marketing agency, but provided by a sub-contracting service provider and social media editing services that were completed directly by the local marketing agency. All services provided were included on a single invoice submitted by the marketing agency for ease of payment for the Hospital. While we acknowledge the Hospital was not compliant with procurement regulations outlined by 2 CRF 200 Subpart D related to small purchase procedures, we believe the reported non-compliance is not material to the overall procurement associated with the above-mentioned grant. The engaged local healthcare marketing firm has provided services to the Hospital for several years. They also provide similar services to other hospitals throughout the region. The oppressed economic environment throughout the region limits the number of competitive vendors that provide healthcare specific marketing and public relations services throughout the area. Management believes that a healthcare focused service provider was the most appropriate solution for the services obtained and is confident that the developed relationship with the local service provider ensured competitive pricing. Also, since we utilize this agency for our external marketing services we believe that they gave us a reasonable and competitive price for the services provided, so we did not solicit bids from vendors that we have not previously utilized as we believe vendor pricing for a small one time project would be higher. As a result of the noted commentary, the following corrective actions will be taken to prevent future non-compliance: • Enhanced education around the Hospital’s established procurement procedures and the compliance requirements associated with the Uniform Guidance procurement regulations outlined in 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart D will be completed for individuals involved in the grants administration and individuals involved in the Hospital’s procurement process. • For service greater than the micro purchase threshold, we will maintain contemporaneous formal written documentation for quotes, bids, or qualification for non-competitive proposal requirements, as applicable. • When applicable, the Hospital will enhance internal controls and documentation to ensure supervisory review for compliance with federal procurement stands.

Re: 2023-24 Single Audit Response and Corrective Action Plan The Clarkstown Central School District (the 'District') has received R.S. Abrams' Single Audit report dated March 21, 2025. This document serves as the District's Single Audit Response and Corrective Action Plan. The Board of Education and the District's Administration extend a thank you to R.S Abrams for their time and effort devoted to the detailed examination of internal controls. The District accepts the recommendation as noted and has instituted the attached Corrective Action Plan. The District strongly supports the audit process and welcomes all efforts to ensure that District internal controls are in alignment with best practices. #1 Recommendation: Allowable Cost principles - payroll "During our current year audit, we noted that although the District ultimately obtained Payroll Certification Forms from the employees funded through these federal funds as per District policy , they did not comply with their written procedures regarding the timeliness of obtaining signed Payroll Certification Forms from employees whose salaries were funded through federal funds." Corrective Action Plan The District agrees that in the 2023-24 grant year, the Payroll Certification Forms were not prepared and processed in a timely manner. This was due, in part, to staffing issues being experienced by the Accounting Department. To ensure timely preparation in the future , the District will schedule distribution of certification forms no later than November 30th. Mr. William Molloy, Deputy Treasurer , will compile the information and provide it to Ms. Bridgette Dunmire, Senior Clerk, no later than November 15th. Ms. Dunmire will prepare the forms , based on the data provided, and submit them to Mr. Molloy for review. Certification forms will be distributed electronically by Ms. Dunmire no later than November 30th. This process will be effective beginning with 2024-25 grant year.

Finding: 2024-001 Suspension and Debarment Condition: The University was not able to provide an audit trail to support the verification that a vendor was not suspended and debarred before entering into a contract. Anticipated Completion Date: Implemented in October 2024. Person Responsible: Carol Buckels, Director of Grants, Sponsored Research & Strategic Initiatives Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Sponsored Research Administration Office (SRA) ensures all purchases, reimbursements, and any other expenditure submitted for payment are first approved by the Principal Investigator (PI). SRA will review the approved budget to ensure funding is available. If the payment request is for purchases that require payment to specific vendors, the SRA verifies that the entity being used for these purchases is not suspended or debarred, or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. This verification is accomplished by checking the System for Award Management (SAM) Exclusions maintained by the General Services Administration (GSA). SRA submits the verification along with the purchasing request or check request to accounts payable or purchasing for processing. If the expenditure amount is above the SRA approval level, the request is then escalated for additional approval (Director of Academic Administration, Provost, etc.) before sending to accounts payable or purchasing for processing.

CONDITION: The Northern Cambria School District contracted Eber HVAC, Inc. for the School District’s RTU Replacement Project which constitutes a construction-related purchase respectively which requires prior approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE). The School District did not obtain the required prior approval from PDE for this expenditure. This is a repeat finding (2023-001) for the prior fiscal year. CRITERIA: PDE and Section 2 CFR 200.439(b) of the Uniform Guidance require prior written approval by the federal or pass-through awarding agency for capital purchases including equipment, buildings, and land. Capital expenditures for special purpose equipment with a unit cost of $5,000 or more must also have prior approval. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: Management will complete the Prior Approval Form for the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) and obtain approval from PDE in advance of incurring any future federally funded expenditures, that meet PDE’s criteria as a capital purchase, to ensure compliance with PDE and Section 2 CFR 200.439(b) of the Uniform Guidance. This procedure will be implemented effective immediately for all future applicable capital purchases.
