Recommendation: We recommend that the University strengthen its internal controls over reporting student enrollment changes to NSLDS to ensure that enrollment effective dates are reported to NSLDS within 60 days of an enrollment status change and that enrollment is being properly certified every 60 days. Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action in Response to Finding: Portland State University relies on a third party, National Student Clearinghouse, to report student enrollment status changes to the NSLDS. Fall 2023 and Winter 2024 enrollment certification files were provided to NSC for relay to NSLDS. Despite this, these enrollment files were never provided to NSLDS and as such the students status change, effective September 26, 2023, was not certified within the NSLDS until May 3, 2024. We are researching why these enrollment certification files were never provided to the NSLDS.

The finding is numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS - FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT FINDINGS SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2024-001 Credit Card Receipt Retention Recommendation: Management should establish a more robust system for ensuring that credit card receipts are always obtained, reviewed, and filed before making any disbursements. In addition, management should implement supporting internal control policies related to the retention and archiving of credit card receipts and other supporting documents, with clear responsibilities assigned to individuals. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation. We have met with all employees responsible for submitting the required documentation related to all transactions. We discussed with the employees the importance of not only completing the documentation, but also the importance of its proper submission to the finance department. We will be implementing a loss receipt form that must be completed by all employees that cannot provide the necessary documentation for transactions. This will be implemented effective March 18, 2025.

We understand that the two areas of concern were related to: 1. Charging future grant expenses to prepaid expenses and accounts payable. We recognize that this occurrence was due to a one-time grant transfer from another organization. We have taken this as a learning opportunity and will not repeat this procedure. It is essential to adhere to proper accounting principles. 2. An error in the calculation of PTO. We agree that this was an oversight that could have been prevented by a secondary review of the data. While these were largely isolted incidents, we understand the importance of robust internal controls. Therefore, to more accurately state the ending balances on the MCSE Balance Sheet and to prevent similar issues in the future, we propose the following updates to our internal controls: 1. Segregation of Duties: Purpose: To ensure no single individual has complete control over all aspects of a financial transaction. 2. Approval Workflows: Purpose: To establish clear approval processes for all financial transactions. 3. Periodic Reconciliations: Purpose: To regularly compare balances in the general ledger with supporting documentation (e.g., bank statements, and subsidiary ledgers). We believe these enhancements will strengthen our financial management and ensure greater accuracy in our reporting. We are commiteeed to implementing these changes promptly and will provide documentation of their implementation.

Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Robert E. Brown II, CPA 25 Cemetery Street P.O. Box 230 Mendon, Massachusetts 01756 Audit period: The finding from the June 30, 2024 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Finding 2024-001 – COVID 19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund - AL No. 21.027 U.S. Department of Treasury Other Matters Related to Internal Control over Compliance of the Major Program Condition: Upon review of the Town of Brewster’s report filed with the U.S. Department of Treasury it was noted that the reports did not agree with the Town’s accounting ledgers. Criteria: Per the U.S. Department of Treasury the Town was required to submit an accurate annual Recovery Plan Performance Report. Context: The annual report submitted to the U.S. Department of Treasury reported expenditures that did not agree with the general ledger. Effect: The Town of Brewster was not in compliance with the U.S. Department of Treasury reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: N/A Cause: The Finance Director reported an incorrect amount of ARPA expenditures on the 2024 Annual ARPA report to the US Department of Treasury. Identification as a Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: The Town of Brewster should complete and submit all required annual reporting by the due date designated by the Federal Agency and ensure that it agrees with grant activity for time period reported. Responsible for Corrective Plan: The Finance Director will verify amounts are accurate before reporting on the next Annual ARPA report. Estimated Completion Date: Immediately. Action Taken: In reviewing this finding, the Finance Director identified that the Town’s current accounting software automatically updated the date range for a report used to calculate totals for the Recovery Plan Performance Report which resulted in this one-time error. The Finance Director did not notice this mistake at the time, has taken full responsibility, and will only report correct amounts going forward.
