Name and address of independent public accounting firm: EFPR Group, CPAs, PLLC 8 Denison Parkway East, Suite 407 Corning, NY 14830 Audit period: July 1, 2021 ? June 30, 2022 The findings from the June 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS ? MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT Finding 2022-001 - Education Stabilization Fund - ARP Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund - Assistance Listing No. 84.425U; Grant Period - For the year ended June 30, 2022 Audit Finding Significant Deficiency: Condition: The internal controls over the Single Funding Certificate were not operating properly. As a result, for salaries and /or benefits charged to the grant, Single Funding Certificates were not completed for one employee out of one tested. Criteria: Proper functioning internal controls would result in the District having all required Single Funding Certificates completed and obtained contemporaneously. Cause: The system of controls over the Education Stabilization Fund - ARP Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund did not operate properly to detect that a signed Single Funding Certificate was not on file for the employee selected for testing. The controls require District personnel to sign a Single Funding Certificate bi-annually if wages and benefits are paid with federal funding. This requirement was overlooked and therefore; a signed certificate was not on file for one employee out of one tested. Effect: The District was not in compliance with the requirement of needing the Single Funding Certificates signed bi-annually for the Education Stabilization Fund - ARP Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. Questioned Costs: None identified. Auditors' Recommendation: The District's internal control system over reporting requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund - ARP Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund should be reviewed and modified to prevent future errors. The District should review Education Stabilization Fund - ARP Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund files to ensure all required Single Funding Certificates are completed. Planned Corrective Action: A control has been added whereby a calendar reminder has been set, reoccurring bi-annually, which will initiate a process that ensures that the certificate forms for all individuals charged to the grant will be reviewed, issued, signed and accounted for, to ensure a Single Funding Certificate was obtained. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Mark Jannone, Business Manager. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action plan has already been completed as of the date of this letter. If the Federal Audit Clearinghouse has questions regarding this plan, please call Mark Jannone at 570-673-3191. Sincerely yours, Mark Jannone
