Condition: During our testing of thirty-seven student files, we noted ten individuals (27%) that were not properly awarded Direct Loans. Corrective Action Plan: During the month of October 2024, a financial aid consultant met with Cottey staff to discuss and plan better procedures related to awarding and reviewing Federal Loans. Throughout the 2024-25 school year, we have implemented quarterly internal audits where students are randomly selected and processed through an internal review of their federal awards. Through this new process, we are reviewing loan eligibility, disbursement dates, and documentation for each student. By completing this process quarterly, we will be able to do an additional review of each student in detail while the school year is still in session and corrections can be made. Responsible Person for Correction Action Plan: Hannah Masters (Executive Director of Financial Aid and Student Accounts) Implementation Date for Corrective Action Plan: 01/30/2025

U.S. Department of Education, Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing # 84.033, 84.063, 84.007, 84.268 – Cash Management Condition: Overdrawn federal student aid funds were not timely returned to the Department of Education. Criteria: In accordance with 34 CFR 668.162(b), a school may not request more funds than the school needs immediately related to the disbursements the school has made or will make to eligible students and parents. A school must make the disbursements as soon as administratively feasible, but no later than three business days following the date the school receives those funds. Any funds not disbursed by the end of the third business day are considered excess cash. Cause: Lack of controls over cash management. Effect: Excess federal cash retained by the institution. Context: The University had overdrawn federal student aid funds of approximately $219,000 at June 30, 2024 related to draws that were made during June 2024. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the University implement appropriate training regarding compliance regulations into the employee onboarding process and thereafter for applicable employees. Additionally, we recommend the University implements timely review procedures to ensure that any overdrawn funds are returned within the tolerance period. Corrective Actions: In early October 2024, all staff from teh business office, student accounts, and financial aid met and developed a plan whereby they will be developing a calendar to include all key dates regarding student financial milestones. This calendar will include dates such as preregistration preliminary charge and financial aid posting dates, semester/term start dates, semester/term census dates, final charge posting dates, among other important dates. The team drafted this calendar in fall 2024 and implemented it effective January 2025.
Staff will compare all bank account reconcilations against the total compostion of all cash accounts maintained within the general ledger's individual funds.

The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce audited the Nutrition Department last school year and found the same inconsistencies in its accounting and claiming practices. For this reason, we implemented a new point of sale (POS) system in all schools during the summer of 2024. Implementing the POS system will eliminate human errors in our paper-tracking meal-claiming practices. With the new POS system, the cashier presses a “meal” key when students receive a reimbursable meal. Doing so automatically tallies the day's meal counts for breakfast and lunch. The POS system will "flag" schools that have over claimed their enrollment. This flagging system is the same system that is on the CRRS site that the state uses. The new POS can also generate monthly CN-6 & 7 forms, which automatically add up the school's monthly breakfast and lunch counts and are used to file meal reimbursement in CRRS. Daily the managers check their end of day reports to make sure the meals were accounted for properly and not over claimed. At the end of the month our accounting team also checks the meal counts for accuracy before the numbers are entered into CRRS.

Corrective Action: During a period of staff transition in a Program Director role, travel was arranged for a group on a grant-approved training trip, which included several program participants. When the airline tickets were purchased, one participant whose activities and enrollment were part of a different funding source within the same overall program was mistakenly included in this group. This oversight was not caught by program staff at the time, and the member participated in the trip. The issue was identified during the audit, promptly corrected by staff, and the grant funder was refunded for the expense in January 2025, prior to the audit’s completion. Additionally, the process for vetting participants for such trips has been revised to include regular reviews of enrollment status, both at the time of airfare purchase, but also at the time of travel. Program staff will more regularly and actively provide fiscal staff current enrollment information, which will be cross-referenced during both the AP and cost allocation entry, and during the reimbursement A/R invoicing process, to ensure cost allowability.

Management's Response: The Organization acknowledges the finding and agrees with the auditors' recommendations. We recognize the importance of maintaining accurate documentation and financial controls to ensure compliance with federal regulations. To address the finding, the Organization will implement the following corrective actions: 1) Journalizing administrative allocations - effective March 31, the Organization will implement a procedure to allocate administrative costs to each applicable federal award program through monthly journal entries within the general ledger. 2) Improved documentation retention - the Organization will establish a process to retain supporting documentation for all costs submitted for reimbursement, ensuring alignment between the general ledger and reimbursement requests. 3) Internal controls for expense classification - the Organization will implement additional controls to prevent expenses from being reclassified within the general ledger after reimbursement requests have been submitted. Any necessary adjustments will be documented with a clear audit trail. These corrective actions will be fully implemented by March 31, 2025, will include and cover all such costs from the start of the fiscal year which began October 1, 2024, and management will monitor compliance to ensure ongoing adherence to these procedures.

Finding 2024-001 Program: Federal Family Education Loans Assistance Listing No.: 84.032 Federal Agency: Department of Education Award Year: Various Compliance Requirement: C – Cash Management – The University must return all excess cash received from the U.S. Department of Education in a timely manner, if funds are not credited to an enrolled student’s account within 3 business days following the receipt of funds. University’s Response: The University has continued to ensure these funds are not comingled and has protected them from spending. Because of the discrepancies identified, each student’s loan history had to be reviewed and compared between the University Information System, the lender rosters, and the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS) records. This individual review and reconciliation have proven to be a tedious but necessary process to identify the funds never posted to student records, returned to lenders, or entered incorrectly in the three separate systems of record. Corrective Action Plan: The University, working with an external financial aid consulting firm with experience in reconciling FFEL loan programs, has finished researching all related accounts against the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS) records. Our next steps include consolidating student returns to each of the different lenders, working with the Department of Education to determine how to return funds in instances where the last lender used is no longer available to process student loan funds, and lastly, book the appropriate entries for any funds determined to belong to the University that were not moved to the University operating accounts properly at the time of the transactions.
