Condition and Context: While quarterly expense reimbursements were submitted timely, the entity did not allocate expenses within the parameters of the approved grant budget. Actual payroll related expenses were less than the approved budget due to staffing changes. Other expenses were over the approved budget. Variances were in excess of 10% of the approved budget expenses. SCKEDD did not obtain approval for a budget revision from the granting agency prior to requesting reimbursement. Effect: Expenses outside of the approved grant budget were submitted for reimbursement. Cause: Monitoring of expenses allocated for reimbursement was not implemented and routinely performed. Recommendation: Internal controls over monitoring of grant expenditures compared to the approved grant budget be established to ensure appropriate compliance with grant regulations. Management Response: Processes are being implemented to ensure appropriate compliance with grant regulations, see corrective action plan.

Corrective Action Plan

Responsible party: Bethany Johnson, Interim Executive Director and Commercial Lending Manager and Tyler Ward, Interim Finance Director and Commercial Lender Implementation date: December 31, 2025 Corrective Action Plan Both Bethany Johnson, Interim Executive Director and Commercial Lending Manager, and Tyler Ward, Interim Finance Director and Commercial Lender, will continue to monitor the budget vs actuals both on a monthly and quarterly basis. Tyler Ward will provide an initial review and Bethany Johnson will provide a secondary review of the financial statements. If any variances are more than 5% over within a category, this category and the overall variances of each line item will be monitored closely to determine if any cumulative changes would cause a 10% or more increase or decrease overall in addition to a particular category. If a budget revision is determined to be required, Tyler Ward will prepare this document and Bethany Johnson will review and sign before submitting it to SBA. A reminder will be added to both Bethany Johnson and Tyler Ward’s SCKEDD calendars along with the existing reporting reminders. This will serve as a secondary reminder to monitor the budget at 90, 60 and 30 days before the end of the grant year. This will ensure that any changes in the 4th quarter can be addressed before the budget revision cutoff date to SBA. Calendar reminders will be added on 12/15/2025, and financials statement variances towards the Microloan grant will be reviewed with more scrutiny moving forward beginning with December 31, 2025 financial statements.

Reporting

Criteria: Internal controls should catch reporting discrepancies from the general ledger. Condition and Context: The 2013, 2015 and 2018 Revolving Fund Status and Loan Loss Reserve Status reports for the second, third and fourth quarters did not tie to the bank statements. Cause: A review process was not performed before the signature and submission of the quarterly reports filed which should have caught the discrepancies on the reports from the bank statements. Effect: The original filed reports did not agree to the supporting information, including bank statements, and underling accounting records. Repeat Finding: The finding was not a repeat finding. Recommendation: Controls should be implemented for a proper review process of the quarterly reports before they are submitted to the SBA. The Organization should have an employee prepare the report and another employee review the reports against the bank statements before signature is obtained on the report or the report is filed with SBA. Management Response: Management agrees with the finding. Procedures are being implemented to ensure appropriate review of quarterly reports, see attached corrective action plan.

Special Tests & Provisions

Five new loan files for did not contain documentation demonstrating identifiable weakness in the applicant's credit. This was not a repeat finding. Cause: Processes had changed during the year ended June 30, 2020. Borrowers were allowed to self-attest that they were unable to obtain funding elsewhere. However, further analysis was not completed to substantiate the self-attestation. Effect: The loan file documentation was incomplete. Current documentation to substantiate that credit was otherwise unavailable to the borrower was not maintained in the file. Although it was ultimately determined the participants could not obtain funding, the loan funds could be disbursed when funds could have been obtained elsewhere. Recommendation: Controls should be implemented with appropriate segregation of duties to ensure that all required loan documentation is maintained within each file. Documentation could include a letter of denial and/or analysis of credit weaknesses. The Organization could utilize checklists from SBA to document the "no credit elsewhere" test and/or incorporate analysis into the loan approval process. Management Response: Management agrees with the finding. Procedures are being implemented to ensure appropriate review of loan files, see attached corrective action plan.
