After the report is signed, the Finance Department retains it for future audit purposes. Vendor Contracts All contracts and MOUs follow a controlled approval process to ensure proper oversight and legal compliance.

All required documentation specified in the contract will be retained, along with all related vendor invoices. Correction Date October 5, 2023 payroll and December 2024 vendor

FINDING 2023-005 Finding Subject: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies - Earmarking Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Ahnaf Tahmid & Marlaina Johns Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 574-393-6000, atahmid@sbcsc.k12.in.us, mjohns2@sbcsc.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: Earmarking All expenditures related to parental involvement are tracked using a designated expenditure code. The required homeless set-aside is monitored using department-level data. The same expenditure code is applied to both the mandatory parental involvement set-aside and any additional parental involvement funds. This allows the district to track the spend-down of the mandatory set-aside and determine how much must be carried over into the next grant year. Schools are expected to use the mandatory set-aside funds first, following a FIFO (first-in, first-out) approach, before accessing any parental involvement funds beyond the required amount. We are actively coordinating with the homeless liaison to ensure that fund balances remain current and transparent to all stakeholders. This collaboration supports more effective planning and helps ensure that the funds are spent down appropriately and on schedule. Correction Date 6/30/2025

FINDING 2023-003 Finding Subject: COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program - Period of Performance Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Timothy A. Brown Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 219-755-3225 brownta@lakecountyin.org Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding with reservations on a portion of the Finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: \ This program is completed and the period of performance is over therefore there is not a need to formally adopt any Corrective Action Plan. The Subrecipient Contractor that administered the program has agreed that this finding was due to their internal error in submitting administration invoices too late to be properly processed and approved by the County. They will be reimbursing the ERA1 fund for the error in the amount of $154,812.56 that will be sent back to the US Treasury. Reservation: The US Treasury required the local grant recipient to prosecute ERA1 fraud activities. There were two fraud cases that were prosecuted by our local attorney. His fees were then deducted from the ERA1 fund as administration costs. The grant recipient should not be penalized for doing as directed to prosecute fraud cases without being able to pay for the services rendered. We do not control the timelines of the local courts nor the responses/actions of the defendants delaying the actions beyond the Period of Performance. Anticipated Completion Date: None, no corrective action plan is necessary.
