Notes to SEFA

Title: Federal Loans Program Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of Marietta College (College) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. 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 Marietta College , it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of Marietta College. 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, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Marietta College has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The College also participates in the Federal Direct Loan Program. The dollar amounts are listed in the schedule of federal awards although the College is not the recipient of the funds. Such programs are considered a component of the student financial assistance cluster. New loans processed for students during the year ended June 30, 2024 were as follows: 84.268 Subsidized $2,331,634, 84.268 Unsubsidized $3,924,470, 84.268 PLUS $4,351,390, Total $10,607,384. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the College processed no new loans under the Perkins Loan Program (CFDA Number 84.038). At June 30, 2024, loans outstanding under the Perkins Loan Program were $152,787.

(Other Instance of Noncompliance) Question Costs: None Context: Although Perkins loans are no longer being disbursed, there are continuing compliance requirements. During testing of Perkins loan record keeping and record retention, 4 out of 16 outstanding loan selections and 1 out of 5 retired/assign loan selections did not have records of the related master promissory note (MPN). From a population of 157 outstanding loans, 16 were selected for testing. Errors consisted of 4 students for which the College did not have records of the MPN. Additionally, from a population of 5 retired/assigned loans, 5 were selected for testing. An error consisted of 1 student for which the College did not have record of the MPN. Our sample selection was not, and was not intended to be statistically valid. Effect: The College does not have documentation of MPNs for the errors identified. Cause: The MPNs for these students were not able to be located in Perkins loan files. Repeat Finding: Yes Recommendation: The College should revisit the record retention for student related files, particularly those that relate to federal compliance requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The College agrees with the comment and has developed a plan to correct the finding. The College will examine the document destruction date on student related files related to federal compliance requirements to ensure accuracy of the document destruction date and accuracy of student files.
