Allowable Cost/Cost Principles Award Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Finding Type: Noncompliance, Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Questioned Costs: N/A Repeat Finding: No. Condition/Context: The District does not have a system in internal control to properly track the time worked in federal projects. For four out of 25 Title I payroll transactions tested, the employees were completely paid using Title I monies, however the hours reported on the timecard for grant activities did not agree with the total hours worked. Criteria: Payroll made with federal project fund should be supported by documentation showing the hours worked with the activities approved as for the federal project. Effect: Without proper internal controls over time tracking and approval for federal programs, the District could overpay or underpay the portion of payroll for the federal program without detecting the error. Cause: Management oversight. Recommendation: We recommend the District have a second employee verify and approve time sheets for works related to federal projects. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with this finding.

Corrective Action Plan

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN U.S. Department of Education | Arizona Department of Education Tuba City Unified School District No. 15 respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025. Audit period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS 2025-001 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Condition/Context: The District did not establish internal control procedures over information technology systems to ensure proper protection of District and student data. The following control deficiencies were noted regarding the District’s information technology policies and procedures: • The District did not limit access within the District’s accounting software to only those areas in each employee’s job function. Several employees had full administrative access to the accounting software, including third-party consultants, without compensating manual controls. • The District did not have a formal written policy regarding system or software changes. • Data-sharing agreements with third party provides that had access to the District’s data were not provided. • Documentation was not provided to support that the IT systems generated electronic audit trail reports or change logs were being reviewed or analyzed. This would include systemgenerated incident or error reports. • Disaster recovery and contingency plans were not provided. Recommendation: To strengthen internal controls, the District should evaluate its procedures regarding information technology security. The District should review and establish IT policies and procedures to protect the District’s data, train employees, establish backup plans, disaster recover or contingency plans, and 3rd party security and data confidentiality agreements. System general irregularity reports, including incident or error reports should be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Corrective Action: The District will evaluate its procedures regarding information technology security. The District will review and establish IT policies and procedures to protect the District’s data, disaster recovery or contingency plans, and 3rd party security and data confidentiality agreements. Additionally, the District will review system generated irregularity reports, including incident or error reports on an ongoing basis. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: For the period ending June 30, 2026. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Leah Begay, Business Manager

Special Tests and Provisions Finding Type Noncompliance, Significant Deficiency Questioned Costs N/A Repeat Finding: Yes, Similar to 2022-001. Condition/Context: The District did not retain documentation sufficient to determine the Davis-Bacon compliance clause was included in advertised specifications for one construction project paid with federal Impact Aid funds. Criteria: Department of Labor (DOL) 29 CFR part 5, Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Governing Federally Financed and Assisted Construction. Non-federal entities shall include in their federally funded construction contracts in excess of $2,000, that are subject to the Wage Rate Requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act, a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations. This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the U.S. Department of Labor weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). This reporting is often done using Optional Form WH-347, which includes the required statement of compliance. Effect: The District was not in compliance with the notification requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act. As a result, the contractor could be subject to penalties and fines, and possible debarment from federal contracting if prevailing wages were not paid. Cause: The District did not have the adequate review procedures in place to ensure bid documents included notification that federal Impact Aid monies were to be used for payment of the construction projects and the contractors needed to be in compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act.
