Audit Finding Number: 2023-001-Enrollment Reporting: Management concurs with the finding. The College submitted enrollment reports over the past year according to our approved submission schedule, but the reports were rejected due to configuration issues with our student information system (SIS). We worked diligently to resolve these issues with assistance from Anthology and the National Student Clearinghouse. All the reporting configuration issues that prevented timely and accurate reporting have been resolved and verified by the National Student Clearinghouse. The College has implemented a process whereby the Registrar reports graduation statuses at the conclusion of each term to the College's SIS for upload to the National Student Clearinghouse and subsequent transmission to NSLDS. The Registrar will create a separate report of students who have completed a program yet are continuing their education at the College. In addition, the Registrar will generate a weekly report from the College's SIS listing the last date of attendance for drops/withdrawals, leaves of absence, and standard periods of non-enrollment and upload to the National Student Clearinghouse with subsequent transmission to NSLDS monthly. As an internal control, submitting the report will be a joint venture between the Registrar, the Financial Aid Manager, and the Associate Vice President of Education. These individuals have completed all the required training to ensure accurate reporting. To ensure timely reporting, all will receive transmission and error reports, and submission dates will be set on outlook calendars as a constant reminder. Successful report submission will be a required report at the College's bi-weekly operations meeting. William H. Dindy, Associate Vice President of Education

The District used the same process as noted in this Finding in the 2020-2021 audit which did not have any exceptions noted by the State Auditor’s Office.

Management’s Response: Management agrees with the finding. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Anne Bacon, CEO Corrective Action Plan: The auditor finding concludes that the cause of the finding is: “Rapid growth of new funding without a corresponding increase in fiscal personnel has resulted in additional responsibilities placed on the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

EWP will implement an internal control system that includes the timely submission of reports. Executive leadership transition in January 2023 has led to recovery of reporting requirements, deadlines, and submission dates. Reporting requirements have been communicated with the new agency leadership team and assigned accordingly. Re-distribution of workload has also had a positive impact on meeting reporting deadlines. Information will be captured in a shared agency spreadsheet to ensure future sustainability.

EWP has reviewed the current internal control system for financial management and re-implemented the review and approval process for all invoices and expenditures. Program staff are required to obtain pre-approval for expenses and the expenditure must be approved by the Program Supervisor, Program Director, and Executive Director prior to purchase. During the audit period, the agency was moving toward a digital document retention system that had not yet been fully implemented. Currently, the agency has moved back to a paper approval system to ensure that the expense is walked through all levels of approval before purchase. While we do hope to pursue a digital system in the future, obtaining physical signatures for expenses has provide an extra level of internal control for the approval process.
Additional preventive internal control procedures will be implemented, including an additional level of review of the reimbursement requests prior to submission. These procedures and internal controls have been implemented as of the date of this report.
