Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of American International College (the “College”) under programs of the Federal Government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information on this Schedule is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the College, it is not intended to, and does not, present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the College.
Title: Federal Direct Student Loan Program Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The College disbursed $21,546,531 of loans under the Federal Direct Student Loans program, which include Stafford Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans and Parent Plus Loans. It is not practical to determine the balances of the loans outstanding to students of the College under this program as of June 30, 2023. The College is only responsible for the performance of certain administrative duties and, accordingly, these loans are not included in the College’s financial statements.

Finding Details

Criteria According to Common Origination and Disbursement ("COD") 2022-2023 Technical Reference: The COD disbursement date is the date the money was credited to the student's account or paid to the student directly for a specific disbursement. Condition The Federal Government requires that the disbursement date reported to the COD match the date the funds were credited to the student's account. During our testing, we noted 4 students, out of a sample of 40, that the date the funds were credited to the student's account did not match the disbursement date reported to COD by a range of 1 to 4 days. Cause The College did not have procedures to ensure the disbursement date per the student's account statement matched the disbursement date reported to COD. Effect The College did not report the correct disbursement dates to the COD. Questioned Costs Not applicable Perspective Our sample was not, and was not intended to be, statistically valid. Of the 40 students selected for testing, 4 students, or 10% of our sample, did not report the correct disbursement date to COD. Identification as a Repeat Finding, if applicable See finding 2022-001 included in the summary schedule of prior year findings. Recommendation The College should have procedures to ensure that COD disbursement information matches the College's records. View of Responsible Officials The College agrees with the finding.
