Condition: The School District must submit monthly claims for reimbursement for meals served to eligible students within 60 days following the last day of the month covered by the claim (7 CFR sections 210.8, 220.11, 215.10, and 225.15 (c)).

Condition: The School District must submit monthly claims for reimbursement for meals served to eligible students within 60 days following the last day of the month covered by the claim (7 CFR sections 210.8, 220.11, 215.10, and 225.15 (c)). Upon preparation of meal reimbursement claims, the School District is required to have controls in place to ensure the accuracy of the request for reimbursement. For certain periods during the year the School District asserts there was a review process in place over the reimbursement requests; however, the review was not documented, and therefore we were not able to verify if the control was in place and operating effectively. For other periods during the year, the School District did not have a control in place where a review of the meal counts entered into the Michigan Nutrition Data (MiND) system takes place, which could result in incorrect reporting of the number of free and reduced priced meals, which could result in the School District being reimbursed an incorrect amount by the Michigan Department of Education. Planned Corrective Action: The School District's business office performed a detailed review of all meal claim submissions for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. Ultimately, the lack of a review control during the 2023-2024 fiscal year did not result in inaccurate reporting or incorrect amount of reimbursement paid by the Michigan Department of Education. The Business Office has since implemented a formalized internal control procedure beginning in July 2024, whereby a formal documented review of the meal claim submission is performed.

A plan has been put in place that involves the Accounting Director monitoring the FFATA reporting activity monthly to ensure that the Foundation meets the reporting requirements of the program. Each month, the Accounting Director contacts the Grant Administrator to determine if any new first-tier subaward contracts have been signed during the last 30 days. If any contracts have been signed, the Accounting Director obtains a copy of the FFATA report that the Grant Administrator filed during the month to verify that it contains those subaward contracts and that they have been reported on a timely basis and in the correct amount. In addition, the Accounting Director compares information on the monthly FFATA reports to a master list of approved sub awardees to verify contract amounts and to ensure that all contracts are being reported.

Recommendation: We recommend the College review their policies and procedures surrounding FISAP reporting. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Fiscal Operations Report for 2023-2024 and Application to Participate for 2025-2026 (FISAP) for the Campus-Based programs is the second FISAP the Financial Aid & Scholarships Director has completed. The error on the FISAP was the enrollment number. The Financial Aid & Scholarships Director was first provided with a number from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness that was still being further calculated and checked for accuracy. Currently, in our new student information system, reporting and verifying correct numbers is more time-consuming. The Director later received the accurate number and updated the FISAP.

Recommendation: We recommend the College review their current policies and procedures around credit balances and ensure the processes in place are sufficient to ensure student credit balances due to federal funds are refunded within 14 days. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Student refunds are processed within 48 hours according to our standard procedures, which ensures that refunds are processed within 14 days according to the federal requirements. However, in the instance of this finding, it appears that the procedure was not followed due to unusual circumstances. We will add a step to our procedure that requires the supervisor to oversee that the credit balance is refunded within guidelines of 14 days.

Recommendation: We recommend that a process is put in place to ensure that all students are notified upon withdrawal they may be required to return federal award funds back to the Department of Education. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: All students are instructed by their academic advisors to speak with the Financial Aid department prior to withdrawing from any or all courses. When the Financial Aid department presents at New Student Orientation, our financial aid presentation includes speaking with Financial Aid before dropping courses as dropping courses could result in students having to pay back some or all their federal financial aid. All students with an R2T4 receive an email from Financial Aid & Scholarships notifying them of the return of federal funds to the Department of Education. The Financial Aid & Scholarships department also emails the Student Accounts department to notify them to return funds to the Department of Education.

Federal Program Title: Student Financial Assistance Cluster ALN: Various Recommendation: We recommend the University review its current procedures for return of Title IV funds. As part of the review, the University should implement safeguard to ensure refunds are returned timely and that refund amounts are supported by having documentation of withdrawal dates. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: Boise State updated the automated workflows to ensure that R2T4s calculated on any day of the week had funds returned accordingly. The R2T4 procedures also include a step to review the completed return before sending the communication to the student. This step was reinforced to the staff involved in the R2T4 processes via additional training. The workflows were updated and additional staff training were provided in December 2023 when the issue was identified by Financial aid office management. Procedures have also been updated regarding the last date of attendance for withdrawn courses with W grades. The procedures now require staff to contact all faculty anytime the withdrawn student has W grades, F grades or a combination of both.

Condition: The School District applies the simplified method to determine indirect costs for the Title I program. The allocation of indirect costs and the computation of an indirect cost rate may be accomplished through simplified allocation procedures described in 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix VII, paragraph C.2.

The School District reported indirect costs in excess of the approved rate for the federal program. Planned Corrective Action: The School District recorded an adjusting journal entry to correct the indirect costs charged in excess of the approved rate charged to the Title I program for the year ended June 30, 2024.

USDA Food Distribution Criteria: The USDA has specific guidelines which need to be followed when assembling meal boxes. The meal boxes need to be packed in accordance with the CSFP menu. Condition: For one month tested, the items included in the meal box did not agree to the CSFP menu requirements. Context: For one month tested, assembly included one instance where two containers of meat, fish, and poultry were included in the box, rather than the required three containers. Effect: As a result of the condition, boxes of food are not in accordance with USDA requirements. Cause: Lack of review prior to the box being sealed. Recommendation: We recommend that the Company reinforce the importance of maintaining the correct food items in each container in line with the USDA menu. Contact: Bryan O'Connor. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Management has introduced a new control under which a member of the inventory management team creates a bill of materials for each order. The bill of materials is reviewed by the Inventory Analyst, with the Director of Inventory Management as backup.
