2024-001: Return of Federal Funds Context: During our testing of 40 student’s R2T4 calculations, we noted 3 with refunds that were not returned within the 45-day requirement. Cause: The college has not implemented precise controls to ensure timely return of funds related to withdrawals. View of the responsible official: MACC is an attendance taking institution and our regular practice requires review of attendance records two to three times per week. When the Financial Aid Office discovers students have withdrawn from classes, we review and calculate an R2T4 when required – usually within 1-5 days from the date it is discovered. This finding of a “late return” is due to a faculty member dropping a student outside of the dates required by our attendance policy. I would like to note that the R2T4 was performed timely and accurately as soon as the drop was identified. Action taken in response to finding: The issue was reported to the President, Vice Presidents, and Deans; as a result, the faculty were addressed and reminded of the importance to comply with the college’s attendance policy. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Amy Hager Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Our Registrar, Deans, and Vice President for Instruction will provide reminders of our policy with our faculty each semester. In the event that a faculty member does not comply with the attendance policy, their Dean will take disciplinary action.

Staff turnover and vacancies during the fiscal year resulted in a few timesheets lacking supervisory approval. Additionally, the time sheet submission and approval process throughout the City is currently completed by paper or email. It is manual and cumbersome. To ensure time sheets are approved timely, the payroll coordinator will be auditing all timesheets every payroll and will follow up on those lacking approval to ensure they are approved and accurate. The City is also in the final stages of selecting new ERP software, which will be implemented during fiscal years 2026 and 2027. This new system will support electronic timesheets and approvals which will streamline the process and allow the payroll coordinator to audit the timesheets more efficiently.
