The Center became aware of a discrepancy between the annual ESSER financial reporting and the quarterly reports during the audit. While the quarterly reports to the CDE were accurately reported and expenditures accurately recorded, the annual performance report was created manually, and reported full allocations per fund, in error during 2023 by the Center’s back-office service providers without review from Center’s management. Upon the Center’s communication with the CDE, the CDE has notified that “according to the U.S. Department of Education for ESSER Annual Reporting, there will be an opportunity to correct the Year 3 report that was submitted in March of 2023. The U.S. Department of Education requires that we submit Year 4 data to them first. This data will be collected in March of 2024. At that time, the LEA should report to the best of their ability, based on the previously reported expenditures. Depending on the previous amount reported, this may mean the LEA is not yet able to fully report applicable expenditures. This will be corrected later. Following the initial Year 4 submission, the U.S. Department of Education will allow for a Year 3 correction period. At this time, the LEA will be able to correct the Year 3 report. Finally, there will be a Year 4 correction period. This correction period will be based on any changes reported during the Year 3 correction period, to allow for a final true up of Year 4 reporting based on actual expenditures.” Therefore, the correction will be made in March of 2024. In the future, the Center’s back-office service providers will be utilizing a stricter rule for cross-checking reports, and will send reports (quarterly and annual) to the Center for a third review before submitting. The Center will also make the correction in March of 2024 per the CDE’s and U.S. Department of Education direction.

COVID‐19 Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds – Institution Share Department of Education Federal Financial Assistance Listing #84.425F Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Finding Summary: The University’s calculated lost revenue was based on average credit hours per semester prior to COVID-19 as compared to fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022. There was a formula error in the credit hours used during COVID-19 resulting in an understated amount of lost revenue from the intended methodology. Responsible Individuals: Tami Lansing, Controller Corrective Action Plan: The calculation underwent a review, yet the error eluded detection during the review. In any future COVID-19 lost revenue calculations, we will exercise more detailed scrutiny. The University was constrained by a predetermined threshold for lost revenue, and we had already surpassed that limit. The miscalculation, had it not been overlooked, would have only inflated that amount. It is important to note that the University intentionally approached lost revenue calculations with a conservative basis. Anticipated Completion Date: August 10, 2023

Significant Deficiency 2023-001. Payroll (Allowable Costs/Cost Principles) United States Department of Education, Passed-through New York State Department of Education: Education Stabilization Funds (ESF) COVID-19: American Rescue Plan – Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) Assistance Listing No. 84.425U Condition: Subpart I, 2 CFR §200.430 of the Uniform Guidance requires that charges to “Federal awards for salaries, wages and other forms of compensation must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed.” The documentation should support the distribution of the employee’s compensation among specific activities if the employee works on more than one federal award, or a Federal award and non-Federal award. The preparation of personnel activity reports (PARs), timesheets, or periodic certifications or the equivalent is the most effective way to comply with this requirement. During the current year, the District inadvertently charged resource officers payroll costs to a federal grant, however, it was determined that these payroll costs were not budgeted in the federal grant and should not have been charged to the federal grant. Planned Corrective Action: The District implemented a new summer program utilizing federal grant funds approved by the NYSED. The District charged resource officers payroll costs that occurred during the scheduled approved summer program, however it was determined that these payroll costs were not budgeted in the federal grant, per the FS-10. Since the grant funding period of this grant is still open, the District contacted NYSED to determine the necessary course of action to rectify this matter. It was determined that the District will prepare and submit an FS-10A amending the original FS-10, to include the resource officer’s payroll costs in the grant as it relates to the approved summer program. In addition, the District will review its internal review procedures to ensure that payroll costs charged to federal grants are supported by the proper documentation for each employee and are allowable per the approved budget of the federal grant. The FS-10A will be prepared and filed prior to the June 30, 2024 by the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum.

Finding 2023-002: Education Stabilization Fund Allowable Costs and Allowable Activities Westmoreland County Community College continued to provide the same Covid outreach programs as they had years one and two in year three to their Students and Employees and community. • Vaccination clinics were continued and are still offered. However, these are at no cost to the University, student, or employee. • Hand sanitizer, masks and other items are always available to those who require, but were paid for from prior years funds. • When advertising for all Covid related events Westmoreland used sources which were at no cost to the college. • The staff time to organize and manage events did not get allocated to the grant, however would have been covered under the lost revenue recognition.

Finding 2023-003: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Allowable Costs and Allowable Activities and Eligibility and SEOG Pell The findings noted three separate issues related to policies and procedures verifying the accuracy of the student eligibility for grant funding and the proper amount paid to the student based on financial need. After a review of Pell grants, Return To Title IV funds, and the award of SEOG after a return of Title IV calculation, it was determined that human error as a result of manual work was the root cause. To correct the root cause, an increased level of internal control via another level of review and a re-review of aid for the FY24 year was implemented. Further, for students who had an enrollment status of less than full time, we have had increased the number reviews for compliance. Moving forward, the College is implementing a new ERP system in which internal controls are configured to alleviate manual work thus human error and increase compliance. The President will ensure the controls are in place.

Personnel Responsible for Correction Action: Martin J. Nevshemal, Vice President, CFO, and Treasurer Anticipated Completion Date: N/A Corrective Action Plan: Due to the classified nature of these contracts, no corrective action can take place because of the restrictions enforced by the sponsor’s security requirements. While examination of financial mechanics related to these contracts could be performed, there is no ability, due to the classified nature of the work, for the auditors to examine the terms of the contract, specification of deliverables, required reports and equipment, explicitly unallowable costs, or other special contract limits. In the Report on Compliance for the Major Federal Program and Report on Internal Control Over Compliance, the Independent Auditor’s Report notes that MRIGlobal complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal program for the year ended September 30, 2023, for the non-classified contracts that were subject to audit. MRIGlobal applies the same level of internal controls and discipline over compliance for its classified contracts as it does for all other contracts and is confident that the compliance noted in the audit of the non-classified contracts extends to the classified contracts. It should also be noted that the classified contracts are subject to audit by the sponsor.
