Finding 2022-007 Federal Agency Name: Department of Education Program Name: Education Stabilization Fund ALN 84.425 Finding Summary: During our testing of cash management, we noted instances where the Student Aid Portion was not disbursed within 15 calendar days of the drawdown and instances where the Institutional Portion was not disbursed within 3 calendar days of the drawdown. Responsible Individuals: Lorelle Davies, Chief Financial Office Corrective Action Plan: As the deadline neared for the end of the award period, The College initially drew the funds with a plan to make an expedited disbursement of the funds. Other Oregon Community Colleges shared with the College success in receiving extensions for the grants. The HEERF team then determined it would be more impactful to our community if we altered course and requested an extension to implement a more strategic plan. Upon the guidance of the Department of Education Grant Administrator, we promptly returned the funds to G5. Columbia Gorge Community College experience turnover in a large number of key positions and was not aware of the 15-day requirement. The grant agreement was on record, but was missing the terms of the withdrawal document. The Chief Financial Officer contacted the Department of Education by email to acknowledge error and provided an action plan with confirmation that funds were returned. We reviewed and assured that no interest was earned on the funds. Updated our G5 award to remove the previous CFO and reissue all grant terms. The grant team reviewed and assured that no interest was earned on the funds and continued compliance going forward. Since the return of the funds we have continued to communicate, implement, and rectify any and all grant issues. We will continue to seek out grant administrator guidance to prevent these issues in the future. Confirmation of account flag removed and resolution received March 28, 2022 Anticipated Completion Date: March 28, 2022

Contact Person(s): Hilary Prinz, Accounting Manager, 206-687-4080 Explanation and specific reasons for disagreement with the audit finding or that corrective action is not required (if applicable): Due to turnover of staff the residual receipt payment in the amount of $83,818 for 2021 audit was not made in 2022.

Corrective Action Plan for the Year Ended June 30, 2022 Finding 2022-002: Significant Deficiency ? Direct Loan Reconciliation Condition/Context: The College was not able to provide the three monthly reconciliations for November 2021, February 2022, or April 2022 when requested for the audit in the summer of 2022. The Institution noted that the reconciliations had not been performed timely, and subsequently the Institution had a consultant complete these reconciliations. The auditors were unable to obtain evidence of or confirmation from the Institution on if review of the reconciliations occurred. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Additionally, the College discovered that Direct Loan reconciliation hadn't been done correctly in the past due to staff turnover. A consultant was given the task of doing a complete 21-22 reconciliation in June 2022. This consultant discovered 16 students had been awarded $177,816 in error. The cause of this was that rules had not been setup correctly in Colleague, and consistent reconciliation by correcting Colleague and COD errors wasn't completed in a timely manner. The auditors obtained the listing of students awarded incorrectly. Actions Taken: For the $177,816in direct loans incorrectly disbursed that was identified, SMC returned the loans and replaced with institutional aid for the impacted students. Beginning with July 2022, the Assistant Director/Systems Specialist reconciles direct loans every month. The Executive Director of Financial Aid and the VP of Enrollment Management review these reports at the end of each month. In addition, a system adjustment has been implemented for 2022-2023 to ensure reconciliation is done monthly. The Assistant Director/Systems Specialist utilizes Colleague variance reports that tract Direct Loans disbursed year to date, the number that COD (Servicer for U.S. Department of Education) has approved, and the students that make up the variance, if any. In addition, COD and Colleague errors that occur during the import/export of Direct Loans to and from COD are corrected on a consistent basis. Reconciliation documentation is then forwarded to the Executive Director for review.

Corrective Action Plan for the Year Ended June 30, 2022 Finding 2022-005: Significant Deficiency - Education Stabilization Fund ? Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund - Reporting Condition/Context: For three of the four quarterly reports selected for testing, two for the student portion and one containing both institutional and student portion reporting, the auditors noted that some of the information reported did not agree to the support provided, two of those reports also did not agree to the drawdowns from G5, two of those reports had required information missing, and two of those reports were posted late. ? Student portion report - for quarter three of calendar year 2021 the amount of emergency grants to students of $1,133,392 did not agree to the underlying support of $1,078,437 or drawdowns from G5 of $954,932. The number of eligible students and the number of students who received an emergency financial aid grant were missing from the report. ? Student portion report - for quarter four of calendar year 2021 the amount of emergency grants to students of $1,745,664 did not agree to the underlying support of $1,735,664 or drawdowns from G5 of $1,902,140. The number of eligible students was missing from the report. The report was posted to the Institution's website on January 24, 2022 after the required deadline of January 10, 2022. ? Combined report - for quarter one of calendar year 2022 the amount of emergency grants to students of $405,000 was reported for the institutional portion of HEERF but should have been for the student portion, the same amount was also reported for the institutional portion as covering student outstanding account balances and lost revenue. The report was posted to the Institution's website on July 8, 2022 after the required deadline of April 10, 2022. The report for quarter two of calendar year 2022 report was not submitted timely and was in process during the audit and therefore, was not selected for testing. The annual report had several items that did not agree to the underlying support. How many students received HEERF emergency financial aid grants, amount disbursed directly to students for emergency financial aid grants, amount of grants disbursed to students from all HEERF funds, total institutional funds used did not include amounts for room and board refunds that were reported in quarterly reporting during calendar 2021. Action Taken: The staffing changes in the Business Office and the Financial Aid office resulted in learning curves for the new employees regarding how to report expenses for HEERF. Saint Mary?s reached out to the Department of Education and alerted them to the late filing of the reports and received acknowledgment of the late filings. SMC has since filed reports which have properly accounted for all funds spent that were awarded through the HEERF program. The only report still needed is the annual report for 2022 which will be filed in a timely manner. This has been noted on our calendar with enough time to be properly filed.
