Finding Details

Finding 2023-003
Criteria On May 13, 2021, ED published an additional notice for student aid public reporting under CRRSAA and ARP, which requires that institutions publicly post certain information on their website. Institutions must publicly post their report as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after the publication of the notice or 30 days after the date ED first obligated funds under HEERF I, II, or III to the institution for Emergency Financial Aid Grants to Students, whichever comes later. The report must be updated no later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter (September 30, and December 31, March 31, June 30). In addition, the U.S. Department of Education requires an annual report for HEERF grantees which is due no later than March 24, 2023. Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 (2CFR 200) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, section 303(a) states, the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statues, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Condition During our testwork over the quarterly and annual reports for the student aid portion, KPMG noted the following: • The September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022 quarterly student aid portion reports were incorrectly prepared as the College reported the student and institutional portion award grant amounts on the incorrect lines within the report. • There was no evidence that the quarterly or annual reports were reviewed by an appropriate responsible official at the College before the reports were posted on the College’s website or submitted to the U.S. Department of Education. Cause The condition resulted from an insufficient review of the reports by responsible officials prior to the reports being posted to the College’s website or being submitted to the U.S. Department of Education. Possible Asserted Effect Failure to implement sufficient internal controls to ensure the accuracy and timely filing of these quarterly and annual reports in accordance with federal regulations resulted in the College program being noncompliant with federal statues, regulations and the terms and conditions of the federal awards. Questioned Costs None. Statistical Sampling The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Identification of Whether the Audit Finding was a Repeat Finding This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation We recommend that the College enhance its process and controls over required federal reports to ensure, where applicable, the following: 1) Adequate support is maintained to document that the reports are prepared and reviewed by an appropriate individual at the College prior to posting the information to the College’s website. 2) Ensure appropriate segregation of duties between the preparer and reviewer of such reports. 3) Ensure that the reports are accurately prepared prior to being filed with the U.S. Department of Education.

In addition, there was no documentation that the FISAP was reviewed by someone other than the preparer of the report prior to the report being filed with the U.S. Department of Education. Cause The condition resulted from an insufficient review of the report by someone other than the preparer of the report prior to the report being filed with the U.S. Department of Education. Possible Asserted Effect Failure to file accurate and complete information in accordance with federal requirements and implement sufficient internal controls resulted in the College’s FISAP for the 2022/2023 award year being noncompliant with Federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the awards. Questioned Costs None. Statistical Sampling The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample.

Finding 2023-005
Criteria Institutions submit Direct Loan, Pell Grant, TEACH Grant, and IASG origination records and disbursement records to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. Origination records can be sent well in advance of any disbursements, as early as the institution chooses to submit them for any student the institution reasonably believes will be eligible for a payment. The disbursement record reports the actual disbursement date, amount of the disbursement, enrollment dates, and the cost of attendance. ED processes origination and/or disbursement records and returns acknowledgments to the institution. The acknowledgments identify the processing status of each record: Rejected, Accepted with Corrections, or Accepted. Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 (2CFR 200) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, section 303(a) states, the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statues, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Condition In testing the origination and disbursement data, key items to test on origination records, if applicable, are: Social Security number, award amount, enrollment date, verification status code, transaction number, cost of attendance, and academic calendar. During our testwork over the key items on origination records as reported on COD, KPMG identified the following: • 15 of the 40 students selected for testwork had cost of attendance amounts that did not agree to the College’s records. • 6 of the 40 students selected for testwork had academic start or end dates that did not agree to the College’s records. None of the items that were exceptions described above resulted in changes to the amounts awarded or disbursed to students by the College for the current fiscal year. Cause The condition resulted from the College Student Financial Aid Operations Department not reporting updated information to the COD System when changes were made to enrollment dates or the cost of attendance of the students identified due to the College not having an adequate internal control process. Possible Asserted Effect Failure to provide required key item information in accordance with federal requirements and implement sufficient internal controls to ensure the programs are operating effectively could have resulted in the College awarding or disbursing incorrect amounts to students. Questioned Costs None. Statistical Sampling The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Identification of Whether the Audit Finding was a Repeat Finding This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation We recommend the College review and enhance its process related to reporting key items to the COD System and update key fields as information may change during the awarding process to ensure that they agree to the College’s records.

These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Condition During our testwork over COD reporting, KPMG identified an instance where one student’s disbursement data was not transmitted within the 15 calendar days requirement as it was transmitted 153 days late. Cause The condition resulted from the College’s Student Financial Aid Operations Department not identifying that the disbursement data had not been reported until after the 15-day period had passed.Possible Asserted Effect Failure to provide report disbursement data timely in accordance with federal requirements and implement sufficient internal controls to ensure the programs are operating effectively resulted in the College not being compliant.
