Finding Details

Finding 2023-01: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education (DOE) Federal Program: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing Number and Funding: 84.033, Federal Work Study (FWS) Audit Findings: Significant Deficiency, Noncompliance Criteria: FWS Federal Share Waiver expired (CARES Act Sec 3503) - The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) waived the requirement that a participating institution of higher education provide a non-federal share to match federal funds provided to the institution for the FWS and FSEOG programs for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 award years, but not the 2021-22 or 2022-23 award years. Condition: For the 2022-23 award year, the University did not provide their non-federal share to match federal funds provided to the University for the FWS program. As a result, the University improperly drew down $90,184 of FWS federal funding. Cause: The condition was caused by managements oversight of the DOE’s non-federal share waiver time period which resulted in the University over drawing federal funds. Effect: As a result of these matters, the University made additional draws of federal funds. Questioned costs: $90,184 Context: As part of our SEFA testing procedures, we noted that the management-calculated non-federal share of $90,184 of FWS was being covered by federal dollars when it should have been covered by the University’s general fund. Identification as a repeat finding, if applicable: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that management ensure individuals are aware of and checking for DOE announcements and exemptions and ensuring the correct amount of FWS funding is being covered by federal and non-federal dollars. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management acknowledges the finding. See management’s corrective action plan attached to this audit report.
