We further recommend that DTCC reviews the eligibility of other students enrolled during the 2022 and 2023 academic years and properly adjusts student accounts as necessary. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The financial aid office worked with members of our IT Applications and Web Services department to discover a failure in the script being run within Banner to identify the full student population related to the maximum credits allowed within a program of study. A system patch to the processing script is currently being developed and we anticipate this process to be in good working order April 2023 after testing. In order to remedy the error, the financial aid office audited all Fiscal Year 2022 activity. Of the 13,333 students enrolled Title IV aid eligible programs during the 2021-22 academic year, five students (.0003%) received federal aid erroneously without the opportunity to submit an appeal. The amount of Pell and Direct Loans disbursed for these students totaled $15,725, which reflects .0004% of the total Pell and Direct loan funds disbursed during the 2021-22 academic year by the college. We are currently taking corrective action on each student identified and will be returning all funds disbursed in error to the U.S. Dept. of Education. In addition, we are currently reassessing all Fiscal Year 2023 student records to identify and correct any student accounts not recognized in our reporting.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Please note there is no monetary value related to this finding. The above-mentioned finding is a result of DTCC not completing an R2T4 calculation for one student that had their academic record updated after the semester in question had ended through a hardship withdrawal process. Our spring 2022 semester ended on May 14, 2022. On June, 21, 2022, the student was granted a hardship withdrawal for all courses registered and the student record was backdated to update the college?s decision. While there are no changes to a student?s federal aid eligibility in these instances, we are aware a calculation should have been completed to acknowledge the update within the student academic record. In response to the finding, DTCC will extend the time period for when reports are ran that identify adjustments. In addition, the member of the college?s hardship withdrawal committee representing the financial aid office will notify individuals responsible for R2T4 calculations when committee approvals are decided.

2022-001 - Internal Control over Financial Statements. Condition ? The financial statements and the Financial Data Schedule submitted to REAC had several material misstatements and were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Cause ? During the current fiscal year, the Housing Authority inexperienced staff was not aware of the year end documentation that was required to complete the financial statement preparation. In addition, the fee accountant was not specific in explaining the necessary items for Year End. Plan of Action ? The Housing Authority will conduct a monthly review of all financial data to ensure that all financial activities have been properly recorded. The Housing Authority will coordinate the Year End Process as outlined in the Year End checklist provided by Lindsey. In addition, in the future the financial statement preparation will be conducted on the Housing Authority?s server which enable the Housing Authority to retain records within the actual accounting system. Person Responsible: Ms. Donna Smith (Executive Director) Period of Action: The review will be conducted monthly and in coordination with MRI Software. 2022-002 Activities Allowed or Unallowed ? Capital Fund Program. Condition ? The Authority expended ineligible funds from the Capital fund Program that were not supported for the use of and administration of the program. Cause ? The Housing Authority misinterpreted the information regarding CARES and CFP sent from HUD and after reviewing with fee accountant, fee accountant misinterepreted the information provided, as well, thus providing inaccurate information on how to expense funds. Plan of Action ? The Housing Authority will review all disbursements monthly and consult with the fee accountant as to the purpose and nature of any costs that could be deemed as questionable or allowable under the Capital fund Program. In addition, the Housing Authority will ensure that all disbursements are adequately supported and can be easily traced to any LOCCS draw. We will also be requesting a budget revision. Person Responsible: Ms. Donna Smith (Executive Director)

The University understands the importance of accurate verification. It was missed by the verification specialist, and not a matter of process. The specialist simply missed the line on the tax document that listed the education credits. This caused the student to receive $200 less Pell funding than the eligibility. The student should have received $200 in additional Pell Grant funds, so the school contacted the student and applied $200 in university funding to offset that loss. On November 21st, Tim Schultz (verification specialist) was instructed about this important process. The Executive Director of Student Finance, Tiffany McCann, will help monitor those verification materials and process, which should reduce the chances of a repeat mistake and ensure compliance.

Recommendation: We recommend the County management establish internal controls over eligibility. Case files should be reviewed to ensure proper documentation exists to support the eligibility determination. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The County will implement additional review procedures. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Lisa Malinski, Finance Director

Finding 2022-002-Repeat Finding, Material Weakness and Nonmaterial Noncompliance-Eligibility Response/Corrective Action: Since 2017, the Medicaid program has seen a 25% increase in the caseload volume. In addition to the increase in caseload, we currently have 12 Eligibility Specialist positions vacant. Many of these vacancies have occurred within the last year, which has caused an additional substantial increase in the workload of the Eligibility staff. Like most counties across the state, we are struggling to fill the vacancies, but are working diligently to recruit and hire new staff. We currently have less than 30% of staff with more than 1- 2 years of experience in the program. In response to the errors cited, Union County provided education training for staff on citizenship codes in OVS on November 8th and 10th 2022.

2022-004) Allowable Activities Management?s response and corrective action is as follows: After reviewing the project scope, along with the U. S. Treasury Final Rule, the City-Parish believes that the bridge replacement is an allowable use of funds. Twin Oaks bridge was closed in 2015 in a very rural area. During the pandemic it became evident that citizens were unable to access healthcare quickly with the bridge closure. In addition, the bridge is causing major drainage issues in the Baker Canal. The replacement bridge will use watertight expansion joints so that all surface water can drain off the structure and collect in inlets placed at the bridge ends. The downstream ends of bridges need special attention which will collect and concentrate the stormwater away from the bridge. The concentrated flow will be directed into a low-risk erosion area. All runoff shall be directed away from wing walls, fill slopes, and embankments, so that no material is susceptible to erosion. Bridge drains are designed to reduce the amount of concentrated flows off a structure. The replacement of the bridge allows the Parish to address the subsurface drainage issues as well as respond to the public health and negative economic impacts of the pandemic. U.S. Treasury has specifically enumerated the flexibility provided under this expenditure category in the Final Rule excerpt: (second paragraph on the page 4411) ?Although the meaning of water and sewer infrastructure for purposes of sections 602(c)(1)(D) and 603(c)(1)(D) of the Social Security Act does not include all water-related uses, Treasury has made clear in this final rule that investments to infrastructure include a wide variety of projects. Treasury interprets the word ``infrastructure?? in this context broadly to mean the underlying framework or system for achieving the given public purpose, whether it be provision of drinking water or management of wastewater or stormwater. As discussed below, this can include not just storm drains and culverts for the management of stormwater, for example, but also bioretention basins and rain barrels implemented across a watershed, including on both public and private property, that together reduce the amount of runoff that needs to be managed by traditional infrastructure.? Expected Implementation Date: June 2023 Contact person: Tom Stephens, Chief Engineer, Transportation and Drainage Department Angie Savoy, Assistant Director, Finance Department
