Condition: Costs were charged to the grants for payroll and related benefits earned prior to the start of the grant period. Corrective Action Planned: We had budgeted the full cost of one teacher and four teaching assistances in the IDEA 240 grant for 2024. The approval process for the grant took longer than expected, our intent was always to comply, but we do realize we should have waited for the approval to be in place prior to charging the costs of these employees to the grant. In the future we will wait for the approval process to be complete and will then charge the employees there.

Action Taken: To better document the time and effort for salaried employees the following will take place to demonstrate and document the specific activities and any adjustment to the allocated amounts of the positions. On a quarterly basis the Director of Finance will work with the members of leadership that have positions allocated across various programs to identify the ongoing percentage of time spent on each of the different programs they support. The current percentage of their duties will be discussed with the employee and adjustments will be made to their percentage allocated in the payroll system based on the changes in duties and time spent on each of the programs. If no change is necessary, it will be noted in the minutes of the meeting. Additionally, during the contract renewal period or any contract amendment period the duties of all personnel who would be associated with that contract and program will be evaluated and the percentage of time to be spent on that contract will be document and updated in the payroll system if changes are warranted. Lastly, monthly if a salaried employee works on a different program or contract than their payroll allocation it will be adjusted on the monthly payroll expenditures spreadsheet and any reduction of duties or additions of duties will be reflected and this information will be retained by the Director of Finance for documentation. The basis for how each position percentage is determined for each contract will be documented during the contract or amendment process. (i.e. Director of HR percentage is determined based on the number of staff they support, the amount of turnover anticipated in the contract and the effort to work with the contract’s unique requirements of the personnel and how much the HR department is involved with these requirements.)

This training will be performed through various means and emphasize the necessity of timely disposal reporting to ensure the accuracy of the University's property records. We are in the process of implementing the following corrective actions and plan to have these completed by the start of the 2026 fiscal year: • We will issue an annual written guideline to property custodians, including clear procedures for the proper identification of capital assets and the timely completion of disposal documentation. • We will continue to conduct our biennial moveable equipment inventory with property custodians and reinforce the importance of maintaining accurate property records. • We will review the current application used by property custodians to process asset disposals and consider conversion to a Google Forms application to improve the workflow and efficiency for completing asset disposal requests. • We will reinforce, during quarterly business manager meetings, asset transfer and disposal communication protocols. The University is committed to maintaining accurate and timely records related to fixed asset disposal. We believe the corrective actions outlined above will effectively address the audit finding and strengthen the University’s internal controls.
