Recommendation: We recommend the University evaluate its procedures and a policy around how level of education is determined and verified when packaging and awarding students. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Marymount University experienced high turnover in the Office of Financial Aid from the Director down to the counselor position in the 22-23 academic year. In that transition, Attain partners was contracted in late 2022 as interim staffing. For the one student in the finding that was found to have received a grade level 3 loan instead of level 2 based on the number of credits completed, research found that a rule setting in Ellucian Colleague caused the student to be auto-packaged at level 3 and it was accepted and disbursed in COD (Common Origination & Disbursement). Moving forward, Attain Partners will work with Marymount IT to update any rule settings to catch this issue and provide the Marymount Financial Aid office with internal controls that will catch any issues for the current aid year. Management notes that this issue arose due to a software programming error tied to an updated rule setting in Ellucian Colleague. Moving forward staff in Financial Aid will work in tandem with colleagues in Information Technology to review all updated rule setting in order to catch and address potential miscalculations. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Meghan Sutton, Interim Director of Financial Aid, 703.284.1532 Planned completion date for corrective action plan: May 2024

Audit Finding Reference: 2023-001 Improve Controls Over Reporting Planned Corrective Action: 1. Request a list from DHHS of definitions of income types by program in the Quarterly Reports. Ensure that this list provides clarity on how to report income that is not explicitly tied to a single program. 2. Review AFY23 and AFY24-to-date reports against these criteria (once received), and re-submit any reports which may need to be modified to comply with the guidance. 3. Going forward, the Quarterly Reports will be generated differently. The Client Services Manager will prepare actuals by program for number of clients and units. The Director of Administration will prepare actuals by program for income and expense. The Executive Director will compile the final report, which will not be submitted until both the Client Services Manager and Director of Administration have both checked the reports and electronically signed them. In the absence of specific guidance from DHHS to the contrary, any non-program-specific income will be allocated to programs by share of service units delivered.

Please find below the corrective action plans for Klamath Falls City School’s audit for the period ending June 30, 2023. Finding: Excess indirect costs of $70,531 were requested and received. Department’s Response: Cause: The excess was primarily due to a period of transition of business staff. This created a duplicated claim for 2 quarters for a majority of the amount identified. After the transition of department personnel, the corrective action to assure that this issue does not happen again is to submit claims monthly and claim indirect costs at that time. At the end of each quarter review each account and reconcile expenses to claimed indirect costs to assure we are 100% in compliance.
