Michigan Reconnect Expansion Refund Calculation Error. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The student development fees and the technology fees that were required to be included in the scholarship refund calculation were missed for one student. As a result of this condition, one refund calculation for the grant was incorrect, resulting in an underpayment of $752. It is our understanding that on December 16, 2024, the College refunded this amount to the U.S. Department of Treasury for those affected by this calculation error. Auditor Recommendation. Management has already taken appropriate corrective action by updating the returns for the student impacted by the refund calculation error. However, we recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure that any correction is being reviewed by an independent second individual. Corrective Action. The College has performed the necessary steps to correct the error and will amend the refund calculation process to ensure that a second individual is reviewing the work performed. Responsible Person. Ruth Carlson, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date. December 16, 2024.

Michigan Reconnect Expansion Calculation Error. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The College’s review process for the Michigan Reconnect Grant scholarships is performed by manually reviewing a select group of students before funds are disbursed. Two students who were not a part of this selected group had tuition costs mistakenly included with their fees. As a result of this condition, two students’ scholarship calculations were incorrect, resulting in an overpayment of $3,054 to those students. It is our understanding that on October 30, 2024, the College completed the F4F Reconnect refund worksheet and mailed a check with the amount to be returned to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College follow the review processes they have in place and include formal documentation showing the preparer is a separate individual from the reviewer. Corrective Action. Upon discovery of the Michigan Reconnect Expansion calculation error, the College went through and made corrections to all student accounts affected. To prevent a similar problem arising in the future, the College has modified their review process to now require two signoffs, one to document the preparer and one to document the reviewer. Responsible Person. Ruth Carlson, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date. October 30, 2024.

Cost of Attendance Input Error. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. There was an input error in the summer transportation component of the cost of attendance calculation. Instead of the on-campus students being designated with their own rate ($405), it was instead set to "All students 2023-2024." As a result of this condition, eight students received more aid than they were eligible to receive, resulting in loan adjustments of $2,858. It is our understanding that on September 23, 2024, the College updated and sent the changes to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure the inputs used in the cost of attendance determination are accurate and that the COA calculation is being reviewed by an independent second individual. Corrective Action. Upon discovery of the cost of attendance input error, the College went back through all summer non-on-campus students to determine if their aid was greater than it should have been and made updates to the COD system, as necessary. Responsible Person. Ruth Carlson, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date. September 23, 2024.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance – Suspension and Debarment Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Program: Supportive Services for Veteran Families Assistance Listing Number: 64.033 Criteria or Specific Requirement: Non-federal entities are prohibited from contracting with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. “Covered transactions” include contracts for goods and services awarded under a non-procurement transaction (e.g., grant or cooperative agreement) that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000 or meet certain other criteria as specified in 2 CFR section 180.220). All non-procurement transactions entered into by a pass-through entity (i.e., subawards to subrecipients), irrespective of award amount, are considered covered transactions, unless they are exempt as provided in 2 CFR section 180.215. Condition: Internal controls did not include maintaining the documentation of the verifiable check on www.SAM.gov for an entity’s suspension or debarment status prior to entering the covered transactions. Context: CLA determined population by summarizing program general expenditures by vendor name. Matched to summary of full GL expenditure details by vendor. Identified vendors who were paid at least $25k in the CY which were paid at least in part with program funds. Additionally assessed vendors who were paid less than $25k to see if they were subject to contracts >$25k. CLA determined a population of three. Tested all three at 8150.I-2 noted that none had documentation to substantiate procedures. Questioned Costs: None Cause/Effect: The Organization could enter a covered transaction with an entity that is suspended or debarred from receiving federal funding. Recommendation: CLA recommends the Organization updated its policies and procedures to include a documented check on www.sam.gov for entities it intends to enter a covered transaction with. View of Responsible Official and Corrective Action Management updated its policies and procedures to include the required suspension and debarment check in the vendor supporting documentation files, which will be reviewed and overseen by the CFO, Danielle Gibson, and will implement these procedures immediately.

Corrective Action Plan 2024-006 – Unallowable Expenditures National School Lunch Program (Significant Deficiency) Federal Program Information: Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Title: National School Lunch Program FAL Number: 10.555 & 10.553 Passthrough: N/A Award Year: 2024 Responsible Official’s Plan: Due to the timing of the finding, the District is performing a permanent cash transfer in March to be compliant with the National School Lunch Program. Additionally, the specific corrective action plan provides details for how we have ensured the unallowable expenses for the National School Lunch Program will not occur again. Specific corrective action plan for finding: This was the result of an error in changing an employee's position from one department to another. Moving forward, the Human Resources Department will notify Payroll of any changes in position and will require TWO SIGNATURES prior to making any changes in pay coding. The two signatures are from the Director of Human Resources and the Director of Finance. Timeline for completion of corrective action plan: The permanent cash transfer process has begun and will be completed by March 31, 2025. The form to ensure two signatures are captured prior to making changes in pay coding is already created and being utilized. Employee positions responsible for meeting the timeline: Director of Finance – Cooper Jones Director of Human Resources – Lisa Salazar

Finding #2024-002 – Material Audit Adjustments Condition: The audit proposed adjusting journal entries during the audit process to adjust District account balances. Specifically, material journal entries were made for year-end grants receivable and accounts payable related to the community safe room project. We deem these entries to be significant in relation to the financial statements. Since the District did not make these adjustments in its accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness was determined to exist in the District’s internal controls. Effect: Financial reports generated by the accounting system may not provide an accurate reflection of the District’s financial position or activities Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and numerous adjustments were needed in order to correct account balances Criteria: Material adjusting journal entries not prepared by the District before the audit are considered an internal control weakness Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded in a timely manner. Response: The District will establish policies and procedures to reduce the number of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor in future years.

Procedures for managing equipment (including replacement equipment), whether acquired in whole or in part under a Federal award, until disposition takes place will, as a minimum, meet the following requirements: (1) Property records must be maintained that include a description of the property, a serial number or other identification number, the source of funding for the property (including the FAIN), who holds title, the acquisition date, and cost of the property, percentage of Federal participation in the project costs for the Federal award under which the property was acquired, the location, use and condition of the property, and any ultimate disposition data including the date of disposal and sale price of the property. (2) A physical inventory of the property must be taken and the results reconciled with the property records at least once every two years. (3) A control system must be developed to ensure adequate safeguards to prevent loss, damage, or theft of the property. Any loss, damage, or theft must be investigated. (4) Adequate maintenance procedures must be developed to keep the property in good condition.. . ." Context: We noted the School Corporation expended approximately $7.1 million on HVAC projects which was charged to the ESSER II and ESSER III (84.425D and 84.425U) grant awards. It was noted these capital asset acquisitions were not reported on the capital asset listing for the School Corporation as of June 30, 2024. Additionally, we noted the School Corporation’s capital asset listing did not contain all the required information, including the source of funding for the property, outlined in the criteria above. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding. Even though infrastructure items themselves are not to be listed separately on a capital asset detail, we will modify the value of the buildings themselves. Responsible party and timeline for completion: The Director of Business Services, Rob James, will modify the building values during the annual capital asset update done in July 2025.

When Hanover was notified that this process was no longer acceptable, we immediately implemented an internal control process with NISEC which included detailed reporting of staff work hours for nonpublic schools related to only our school corporation. The report is then reviewed and signed by the NISEC staff working for the nonpublic school and their supervisor. The employee detailed time and effort report are then provided to the NISEC finance department for a second review and signature before being provided to payroll. NISEC payroll then charges the proportionate share to the IDEA Part B grant in the payroll system bi-weekly based on the time and effort report pertinent to just School Corporation Non-public schools. The time and effort reports are then used to submit the reimbursement request to the Department of Education for Hanover’s proportionate share. Anticipated Completion Date: 4/30/2025
