Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: 1. Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which is described in Note 1 to the College's basic financial statements. 2. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. 3. The College elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of North Central Missouri College under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information in this Schedule is presented 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 North Central Missouri College, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of North Central Missouri College.
Title: Loan Programs Accounting Policies: 1. Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which is described in Note 1 to the College's basic financial statements. 2. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. 3. The College elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The College participates in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program, which provides federal loans directly to the students rather than through private lending institutions. The College is responsible only for the organization of the loan (e.g., determining student eligibility and disbursing loan proceeds to the borrower). The Direct Loan Servicer is then responsible for the overall servicing and collection of the loan. The amount reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for the loan program represents the total value of the loans awarded and paid to the College's students during the year ended June 30, 2022.

Significant Deficiency and Compliance U.S. Department of Education Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing Numbers: 84.007, 84.033, 84.063 & 84.268 Award Year 2021-2022 2022-001 Special Test and Provisions - Return of Title IV Funds Criteria: In accordance with 34 CFR 668.173(b), the College must return Title IV funds within 45 days after the date the College determined the student withdrew. Condition: The College did not return unearned Title IV funds within the prescribed timeframe. Context: A sample of 20 R2T4 calculations revealed that one student had Title IV funds returned later than the allowable timeframe. All funds were returned in the proper order and amount. Effect: Title IV funds were not returned in a timely manner. Cause: The College did not have specific procedures in place to ensure timely reporting of withdraws by instructors, which in turn, did not provide enough time for the College to identify, prepare, and return funds within the required timeframe. Questioned Costs: The questioned costs would be insignificant due to the funds being returned in the proper order and amount. Recommendation: We recommend the College implement procedures to strictly comply with the requirements of 34 CFR 668.173 as it relates to the return of Title IV funds. Response: Through the processes the NCMC Financial Aid Office had in place, the affected student (an official withdraw) was missed until determination of unofficial withdraws at the end of the semester. To ensure the NCMC Financial Aid Office complies with the requirements of 34 CFR 668.173 as it relates to the return of Title IV funds, an additional weekly report was implemented to identify all withdraws and confirm an R2T4 calculation was performed (if required).
