De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The University has elected not to use the 10% de minimis cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of California Baptist University (the University), 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). Therefore, some amounts presented in this Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the consolidated financial statements.

Finding Details

Criteria: In accordance with 34 CFR Section 668.173 (b) and 2 CFR 200.303, the institutional portion of unearned aid must be returned to the appropriate Title IV, HEA program or Federal Family Education Loan (“FFEL”) lender no later than 45 days after the date of the institution’s determination that the student withdrew. Furthermore, the institution must determine the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance that the student earned as of the student’s withdrawal date. The Compliance Supplement issued by the Office of Management and Budget requires auditors to review the return of Title IV funds determinations/calculations for conformity with Title IV requirements. Furthermore, according to 34 CFR 668.22, all grant funds relating to post-withdrawal disbursements that are not disbursed to the student’s account, must be disbursed to the student no later than 180 days after the date of the institution’s determination that the student withdrew. Condition: It was noted during our testing of R2T4 calculations that two of 40 students selected for testing had instances of non-compliance. Specifically, one student’s return was not received within the 45-day time limit and one student’s return was not calculated correctly. Questioned Costs: $1,886 Context: During our audit procedures, we noted below instances for R2T4 testing: - One of the 40 total students’ return was not returned within the 45-days requirement. - One of the 40 total student’s R2T4 was incorrectly calculated, resulting in $1,866 in excess funds being returned by the University. Cause: The University implemented controls during the year to improve compliance with Title IV regulations, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of instances of noncompliance (from seven in prior year to one in the current year). Due to the timing of the implementation of these controls, instances of noncompliance with Title IV regulations were still identified. Effect: The cause identified resulted in noncompliance with Title IV regulations. Repeat Finding: Yes, see Finding 2023-001. Recommendation: We recommend that the University improve the existing procedures and controls to ensure compliance with the aforementioned criteria. Views of responsible officials: Management concurs with the finding.

Views of responsible officials: Management concurs with the finding.
Criteria: In accordance with 34 CFR 685.309(b) and the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Enrollment Reporting Guide published by the Department of Education, schools must review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, program information, and effective dates that appear on the Enrollment Reporting Roster file or on the Enrollment Maintenance page of the NSLDS Professional Access (NSLDSFAP) website. In addition, schools must report enrollment status changes within 30 days of becoming aware of the status change or in its next scheduled enrollment submission if the scheduled submission is within 60 days. Condition: During our testing of 40 students, which is a statistically valid sample, we noted one instance where the program begin date was improperly reported to the NSLDS system. Questioned Costs: None. Context: During our audit procedures, we noted one instance of noncompliance. Cause: The University's internal controls did not identify the error for compliance with the criteria mentioned above. Effect: Inaccurate information is reflected on the NSLDS database. A student’s enrollment data protects the rights of borrowers by ensuring that loan interest subsidies are based on accurate enrollment data, ensures loan repayment dates are accurately based on the last data of attendance, allows in-school deferments to be automatically granted using NSLDS enrollment data, and provides vast amounts of critical data about the effectiveness of Title IV aid programs, including completion data. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure that enrollment and program information is accurately reported to NSLDS as required by regulations.

Questioned Costs: None. Context: During our audit procedures, we noted one instance of noncompliance. Cause: The University's internal controls did not identify the error for compliance with the criteria mentioned above. Effect: Inaccurate information is reflected on the NSLDS database. A student’s enrollment data protects the rights of borrowers by ensuring that loan interest subsidies are based on accurate enrollment data, ensures loan repayment dates are accurately based on the last data of attendance, allows in-school deferments to be automatically granted using NSLDS enrollment data, and provides vast amounts of critical data about the effectiveness of Title IV aid programs, including completion data. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure that enrollment and program information is accurately reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Views of responsible officials: Management concurs with the finding.
Criteria: In accordance with 34 CFR Section 668.173 (b) and 2 CFR 200.303, the institutional portion of unearned aid must be returned to the appropriate Title IV, HEA program or Federal Family Education Loan (“FFEL”) lender no later than 45 days after the date of the institution’s determination that the student withdrew. Furthermore, the institution must determine the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance that the student earned as of the student’s withdrawal date. The Compliance Supplement issued by the Office of Management and Budget requires auditors to review the return of Title IV funds determinations/calculations for conformity with Title IV requirements. Furthermore, according to 34 CFR 668.22, all grant funds relating to post-withdrawal disbursements that are not disbursed to the student’s account, must be disbursed to the student no later than 180 days after the date of the institution’s determination that the student withdrew. Condition: It was noted during our testing of R2T4 calculations that two of 40 students selected for testing had instances of non-compliance. Specifically, one student’s return was not received within the 45-day time limit and one student’s return was not calculated correctly. Questioned Costs: $1,886 Context: During our audit procedures, we noted below instances for R2T4 testing: - One of the 40 total students’ return was not returned within the 45-days requirement. - One of the 40 total student’s R2T4 was incorrectly calculated, resulting in $1,866 in excess funds being returned by the University. Cause: The University implemented controls during the year to improve compliance with Title IV regulations, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of instances of noncompliance (from seven in prior year to one in the current year). Due to the timing of the implementation of these controls, instances of noncompliance with Title IV regulations were still identified. Effect: The cause identified resulted in noncompliance with Title IV regulations. Repeat Finding: Yes, see Finding 2023-001. Recommendation: We recommend that the University improve the existing procedures and controls to ensure compliance with the aforementioned criteria. Views of responsible officials: Management concurs with the finding.

Criteria: In accordance with 34 CFR 685.309(b) and the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Enrollment Reporting Guide published by the Department of Education, schools must review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, program information, and effective dates that appear on the Enrollment Reporting Roster file or on the Enrollment Maintenance page of the NSLDS Professional Access (NSLDSFAP) website. In addition, schools must report enrollment status changes within 30 days of becoming aware of the status change or in its next scheduled enrollment submission if the scheduled submission is within 60 days.
