2023-001 – Pell Grant Calculation. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The Uniform Guidance states that the College must determine the maximum scheduled award a student would receive based on their Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Cost of Attendance (COA) using the payment schedule provided by the U.S. Department of Education. Students must be awarded on the basis of a COA comprised of allowable costs assessed to all students carrying the same academic workload. COA must be prorated for students who are attending less than an academic year, or who are less than full-time in a term-based program. As a result of this condition, the College was exposed to an increased risk that incorrect information would be used to determine students' Pell Grant award amounts. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College implement procedures to ensure the COA and EFC used to calculate each student's Pell Grant is updated for each academic year and reviewed by an independent official. Corrective Action. In the spring of each year, the College Financial Aid Department will establish the Cost of Attendance (COA) necessary for Pell student eligibility, in addition to the Educational Financial Contribution (EFC) for the following fiscal year. Once these are calculated and established, the head of the Business Office will review the calculations, discuss, and approve. Once they have been approved, the appropriate information will be entered into the Financial Aid software system. Responsible Party. Director of Financial Aid and Head of the Business Office. Anticipated Completion Date. June 30, 2024.

Management Response and Corrective Action Plan OMB Uniform Guidance Audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 Finding 2023-001 - Non-Compliance with Timely Student Enrollment Change Submissions to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Management agrees with the finding and in concurrence with the recommendations has developed and is implementing the following corrective action plans: 1. RIT will implement a process for students who are not expected to return in the fall semester and were enrolled in spring to update the enrollment status with the NSC, the third party that reports to the NSLDS for the University. The manual update to the NSC will be completed within 30 days from the date that RIT is notified that the student is confirmed to no longer be expected to return in the upcoming fall semester. This process will be implemented for the start of summer term 2024. 2. As of November 1, 2023, RIT has enhanced its degree certification process for late certifications to include the two steps which are now required by the NSC. RIT has also added to this process an additional verification to validate that the degree record is subsequently and correctly updated with the NSLDS. 3. The University has communicated with the helpdesk at the NSLDS to determine the reasons why the two identified records for which the student status changes were timely reported to the NSC; however, the data was not correctly captured by the NSLDS. The NSLDS has not been able to identify the root cause of the issue and are continuing to research the problem. They indicate that there is nothing that RIT can do to update these records at this time. Management concurs with the recommendation and will implement a periodic reconciliation processes between the NSLDS and the NSC to verify that the NSLDS timely and completely received communication of student changes. This will include a confirmation process for manual transactions with the NSC to ensure they were received by the NSLDS, which will begin January 2024.

Audit Finding: ALN: 10.656 Grant No.: 204642 Grant Period: Year ended September 30, 2023 Type of finding – Significant deficiency in internal control over compliance Response: Agree Explanation/Corrective Action: • Scanning Applications: o Applications are physically filed by volunteers, then scanned into SharePoint and filed electronically. o SharePoint does not recognize hand-written applications, so we use a filing spreadsheet to track specific batch numbers for applications, which gives us the ability to trace an individual document. If the document is typed, then it can be recognized through a search in SharePoint.  Our SOP document for scanning applications can be found on the CSFP Sharepoint site. o We have two volunteers who are scanning on a weekly basis (between 150-250 applications scanned weekly), and we will continue to prioritize this project as more staff/volunteer hours become available. • If an application is missing: o Confirm that application information is in ClientTrack and document through a generated printed application. o Send application to distribution site for next distribution, to ensure participant signs new application before they receive another CSFP box. Anticipated Completion Date: We currently have two volunteers who are scanning on a weekly basis (between 150-250 applications scanned weekly), and we will continue to prioritize this project as more staff/volunteer hours become available. The current backlog is around one year with plans to get caught up using additional resources in the next few months.

Finding 2023-003 Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: Executive Director of the TRIO Program – Jasmine Lewis Anticipated Completion Date: June 2024 Corrective Action Plan: The TRIO Division at the University has established a procedure that involves the Directors and Coordinators for each program (Educational Talent Search, Upward Bound, and Student Support Services). In this process, TRIO staff compile eligibility files that contain documents used to assess student participant eligibility and the services they receive within their respective programs. Once students have completed all the required forms outlined in the checklist, Educational Advisors determine the student's eligibility for the program. After confirming eligibility and ensuring that the file is complete, it is then sent to the Executive Director of the TRIO for a second review to verify accuracy. At the end of each grant year, the Executive Director will seek the assistance of a third-party entity to conduct an external review to ensure the program's compliance.

The paper work items identified in the annual audit of Carr Street apartments were the result of a staffing shortage and ultimately a change in staffing. With that said, the following plan highlights actions that already have taken place and are in process of being taken by the Owner and Management Agent for Carr Street Apartments to ensure any instability in staffing does not impact future operations. 1. General Management and Supervision – The management agent has designated the Director of Facilities to provide direct oversight to the staff responsible to for the day-to-day operations of the Carr Street apartments. Likewise, the Director of Facilities has been trained in all HUD processes and can act as a back-up to ensure all required processes are completed. 2. Staffing – A new Housing Case Manager has been hired who has considerable experience managing two HUD subsidized apartments. 3. Quality Improvement Activities – The owner is currently in the process of developing a peer led QI process. At this stage, management is using the HUD form 9834 as well as internal processes to develop a review and rating document. This document will be used by the current Housing Case Manager as well as two other internal Housing Case Managers. The process will involve the Housing Case Managers doing random file audits as well as to perform audits at the time of new tenant move in, cert/recert and move out. As stated, this program is currently in development, but the plan is for the group to meet once per quarter and review at least three existing tenant files. These same activities will take place on a rolling/as needed basis for all move ins, certifications or move outs to ensure the process was performed correctly and in real time.

Finding 2023-001: Compliance Qualification and Material Weakness – Eligibility for Medical Assistance Program – Medicaid Cluster (AL Number 93.778) – U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – Virginia Department of Social Services (Repeat finding 2021-001). Finding: Of the sixty (60) participants selected for testing, one (1) participant did not have either a renewal or an original application located in the physical participant case file or in the electronic Medicaid system. Consequently, the initial or required re-determination of the participant’s eligibility could not be verified through our test work. Corrective Action: In an effort to prevent further findings related to this issue, staff were previously instructed to ensure all required documents were present in the system, including an application, as part of the annual Medicaid renewal process. While the annual Medicaid renewal process was halted during the COVID-19 pandemic based on actions at the federal level, effective May 2023 the state has resumed the Medicaid renewal process. Staff will continue assessing cases at renewal to ensure an application is located and will follow previous guidance issued on obtaining an application from the recipient if one cannot be located in the file. When monitoring case actions, supervisors are monitoring for compliance with these procedures. While these are repeat findings the number of cases found without an application has decreased therefore management is confident the current corrective actions have proven effective. Contact: Lisa Calloway, Chief of Benefit Programs Expected Completion Date: Due to the volume of Medicaid cases, correction of this issue will be ongoing. The above processes will be continued as necessary to correct identified deficiencies. Monitoring for compliance will be performed on an ongoing basis. If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Calloway at 757-926-6109 or by email at callowayld@nnva.gov

Audit Finding #: 2023-1 Eligibility Determination Grantor: Department of Health and Human Services Federal Program Name: Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) Federal Assistance Listing (CFDA#): 93.568 Description: During the audited year July 2022 – June 2023, Access paid benefits for an individual whose income was over the threshold of 60% of the CT state median income.
