Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: A second staff person has completed the Department of Justice Grants Financial Management Training and is now qualified to work on the federal grants. This will allow the agency to have someone other than that the person creating the reimbursement material to request the reimbursement.

Need Analysis Planned Corrective Action: PowerFAIDS, a new financial aid processing software, was adopted by the Anderson University Office of Financial Aid this year. It was discovered that PowerFAIDS does not automatically correct the student’s need-based aid when additional aid is added manually after a student has been packaged. The assumption of the Financial Aid Office was that this was automatically adjusting as it had done in the previous system used. The Senior Associate Director reached out to PowerFAIDS to get an understanding of when manual calculations need to be done to a student’s need-based aid. In light of this new information, the Financial Aid Office will adjust their practice going forward. When additional aid is awarded going forward, need based aid will be manually adjusted so that students are not over awarded in need-based aid. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: David J. Sarah, Director Anticipated Date of Completion: Students who were over awarded in Federal Direct Subsidized Loans were corrected on COD effective 08/17/2023.

Need Analysis Planned Corrective Action: ETBU financial aid staff have used a Jenzabar PX product for over 20 years. Within that product, there is no built-in compliance to assist with awarding and managing Federal Direct Loan awarding amounts based on need. The initial Federal Direct Loans were awarded correctly based on student need eligibility. However, when scholarships were added/removed or aid was adjusted based on enrollment status after origination, manual adjustments to loans are required. As a result of previous finding, ETBU implemented processes where Direct Subsidized Loans were over awarded when scholarships were added after initial packaging and eliminated all finding related to Need Analysis in 2022-2023. However, the quality assurance checks were not written to check for reduction of scholarships that might result in an under award of Direct Subsidized Loans. ETBU has a log file to document that the student elected to reduce their subsidized loan which was determined to be a finding. After further review of regulations, ETBU financial aid was only honoring the student request. ETBU financial aid office added this quality assurance check to their procedures and has conducted a 100% check for all Federal Direct Student loans for the 2022- 23 award year for over awards as well as under awarding of all Direct Loans. ETBU financial aid has implemented a new administrative software, Jenzabar Financial Aid (JFA) for the 2023-24 financial aid year. JFA has built in Federal Direct Loan packaging that checks need at the time of awarding, as well as, evaluating need when awards are changed. Additionally, quality assurance processes have been written in the new software to double check Federal Direct Loan award amounts after any funding movement on student accounts. These processes are completed before any loan disbursements to assure that compliance is maintained.

No. 21.026 Homeowner Assistance Fund – COVID 19 Corrective Action Plan: The Commission was made aware of the sophisticated fraudulent entity through its contacts with the National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA). Staff remains active in those groups, participating in weekly and monthly calls and will adopt further preventative measures that have been shown to be effective in other states. Staff has implemented a more rigorous servicer onboarding process, whereby questionable items or documentation deemed to be suspicious or potentially altered will be presented to the program director, finance staff, compliance staff, or other internal staff for further investigation. Staff does not anticipate further issues with falsified information with the enhanced onboarding procedures implemented. In addition, balances owed are verified by loan servicers, and funds are paid directly to the servicer and never to individual homeowners. Completion Date: The Commission implemented additional compliance review procedures during fiscal year 2023 and completed its investigation of the identified case.

Finding 2023-002 – Allowable Costs and Activities, Eligibility – Compliance and Control Finding Federal Award No. 21.023 Emergency Rental Assistance Program – COVID 19 Corrective Action Plan: The Commission administered direct assistance according to the program rules and regulations. The Commission collected the required information and documentation to review and approve applications. Applicants submitted certified applications meeting the requirements of the program. However, the Commission staff discovered through its noncompliance review and identification processes that some program applicants provided false information and fraudulent documentation that continues to be investigated and reported to the proper authorities. Internal controls have been enhanced to mitigate and help prevent further exposure to noncompliance. Past and ongoing measures implemented to ensure eligibility of all funds disbursed include: the adoption of a formal fraud, waste, and abuse policy in July 2021 as well as providing additional training to employees and third parties that were responsible for reviewing and approving applications in order to better detect invalid applicants to prevent funding these applicants. In May 2021, the Commission hired an Internal Compliance Manager and created an Internal Compliance Department who has engaged a third party law firm and a consulting group to provide consultative assistance to improve processes and to assist in investigating applications deemed to be questionable. Further, internal staffing capacity was expanded with the creation of the Community Programs Processes Department in fall 2021 and the Data and Analytics Department in early 2022. Additional investigative techniques such as “mass denial metrics” and tiered level reviews were implemented into weekly application processing. Commission staff set regular internal coordination meetings to improve communication and aid in the identification of new indicators. Internal compliance staff actively participates in national groups administering similar programs, and explores and adopts new preventative or other review measures demonstrated to be effective in other states. As program funds for direct rental and utility assistance have been expended and direct assistance applications no longer accepted, additional internal metrics and compliance review processes are being developed to apply a consistent process for examining any outstanding questioned costs and to make a final determination regarding the eligibility of disbursed funds. Completion Date: The Commission implemented additional compliance review procedures during fiscal years 2021 and 2022 and expects to conclude its investigation of the fiscal year identified cases during calendar year 2024.

The Southern States Energy Board respectfully submits the following corrective action plan to incorporate a revision to our FY2023 policies and procedures that would provide additional tracking for the FSRS reporting requirement for subawards.

Finding-Federal Award Finding: 2023 – 001 Improve Controls over Transparency Act Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Other Matters Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Energy Federal Program Name: Transportation of Transuranic Wastes to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Assistance Listing Number: 81.106 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: DE-EM0005215 - 2020 Award Period: 7/01/2020 – 6/30/2025 Budget Period: 07/01/2022-06/30/2023 Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the isolated audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management developed a checklist for subaward amendments, prior to the receipt of the finding and upon identification that this report had been overlooked for Budget Period 3 for award DE-EM0005215-2020. Effective immediately, funds obligated to subawardees through subaward agreements, will be reported per the grant requirement to the FSRS and recognized in the FFATA Financial Reporting system. The project identified is a five-year project and the first two Budget Periods were submitted in a timely manner as per the project’s reporting requirements. Due to the nature of this award being incrementally funded, obligations to subawards are continuous throughout each budget period as funds are designated by the prime award. Therefore, the typical quarterly reporting system controls did not trigger management to complete this along with all the other financial and technical quarterly and annual submissions. Therefore, the FY2023 FSRS reporting requirement for this project was overlooked due to unusual timeliness of sub modifications and the workload of the accounting department. With the revised tracking/checklist for each subaward that includes modifications for incremental funding, this will no longer be an issue. Management would also like to note that all other reporting requirements were submitted on time and consistent with financial reporting requirements and that this was an isolated issue within Budget Period 3 for award DE-EM0005215-2020. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Leigh Hawkins, Assistant Director of Business Operations, and Kathy Sammons, Director of Business Operations. Current Status: The planned completion date for corrective action plan is September 30, 2023. All submissions were completed prior to the final audit report completion. Therefore, management considers this issue fully corrected.
