The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes federal award activity of the Lewis-Clark State College (the College)under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. 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 the College, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the College.
The federal student loan programs listed subsequently are administered directly by the College, and balances and transactions relating to these programs are included in the College’s basic financial statements.

Finding Details

Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistant Listing Number: 84.007/84.033/84.038/84.063/84.268/84.379/93.364 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: P007A241087 – 2025, P033A241087 - 2025 P063P240100 - 2025, P268K250100 - 2025, P379T250100 – 2025 Award Period: July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Code of Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 682.610, states that institutions must report accurately the enrollment status of all students regardless of if they receive aid from the institution or not. Changes to said status are required to be reported within 30 days of becoming aware of the status change, or with the next scheduled transmission of statuses if the scheduled transmission is within 60 days. Condition: The College did not correctly report student information to NSLDS in a timely manner. Questioned Costs: None Context: During our testing, we noted campus enrollment status for 6 of the 60 students tested was not reported timely to NSLDS, and enrollment status for 1 of the 60 students tested was not reported correctly. In addition, changes to campus enrollment effective dates for 2 of the 60 students tested were not reported timely to NSLDS. Further, program enrollment effective dates for 3 of the 60 students tested did not agree with institutional records, and program enrollment status for 4 of the 60 students tested was not reported correctly to NSLDS. Cause: The College did not timely or properly report student status changes to NSLDS through their third-party servicer, National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Effect: Failure to properly report enrollment status changes on NSLDS could affect the timing of the grace period for repayment of Title IV loans. Additionally, the College was not in compliance with the requirements to properly report student enrollment data correctly or timely to NSLDS. Repeat Finding: Yes, 2024-001 Recommendation: We recommend that the College continue to implement procedures to ensure that enrollment data, changes in status and effective dates within NSLDS match the records of the institution and are reported timely. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a plan to correct it.
