2022-002 Student Financial Assistance Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University review the procedures surrounding PELL and TEACH awarding to ensure the proper cost of attendance is used so that amounts awarded do not exceed calculated financial need and awards are proper. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The University returned the ineligible Pell and Teach funds to ED. The University has implemented new processes, which include, but are not limited to, a second review of all student packages for the aid year. Prior to the start of each semester, the student package will be reviewed for subsequent ISIRS, grade level, and enrollment statuses, to ensure the Pell and Direct Loan eligibility is awarded correctly. Prior to awarding TEACH grants, the student package will be checked for the ATS (agreement to serve) and counseling. For continuing students, we will check the cumulative GPA from the prior year to ensure students are meeting the cumulative GPA of 3.25 to receive TEACH for the subsequent award year. Additionally, we have added new TEACH aid components to our student information system (SIS) to include the ATS (agreement to serve) and counseling. Student(s) will not receive any TEACH grant until they have met all three requirements. Lastly, campus based funds will be reviewed once a semester for need, and eligibility requirements. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Lisa Stone, Director of Financial aid, Sean Corcoran, Associate Director of Financial Aid and Joyce Hatch, Financial Aid advisor. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Fall 22

2022-001 Student Financial Assistance Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University reevaluate its procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes and other enrollment information to NSLDS to ensure timely and accurate reporting. We also recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure all errors are corrected with the appropriate timeframe as required by regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding. The process described in the corrective action plan in response to 2021-001 was developed and implemented in August of 2022. This was after the close of FY22. Therefore, the process had no bearing on the FY22 SFA audit. We believe the effects of the new process will be reflected in the FY23 SFA audit. To recap the corrective action plan from 2021-001: Training with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) online reporting system was implemented. A consequence of the training was that the Associate Director of Institutional Research (ADIR) acquired the necessary knowledge of how to manually change program enrollment dates in the NSC online system to correspond to the University?s internal records. The ADIR continues to adhere to the master calendar for reporting to ensure timeliness. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Lisa Stone, Director of Financial Aid, Eric Tompkins, Associate Director of Institutional Research and Jeff Phillips, AVP of Institutional Effectiveness. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Fall 2022

Finding 2022-001: Reporting Recommendation: Nebraska Pediatric Practice should strengthen their system of internal controls around the review of HRSA guidance to ensure that all reporting is consistent with requirements and instructions as provided by regulatory agencies. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding. Although reported in the incorrect quarter, the Entity did incur expenses in excess of the amount of ARPA funds received. In addition, the Entity also suffered lost revenues in excess of the ARPA funds received. Management will refine its review process of HRSA guidance and data entry into the portal to ensure appropriate designation between reporting periods. Nebraska Pediatric Practice, Inc. Corrective Action Plan: Management inadvertently reported expenses in the incorrect quarter of the Period 4 report submission. Although reported incorrectly, reported expenses were still above the total ARPA payments received. For future reporting, management will reinforce the reporting of activities in the proper quarter prior to submission. Completion Date: Completed Contact Person: Mindy Stetson 402-955-6765

2022-002: Significant Deficiency ? Reporting ? Relating to the Emergency Food Assistance Program ? Commodities (10.569) ? this is a repeat finding of prior year finding 2021-002 This deficiency is primarily due to vacancies of certain key positions within Operations, compounded by a general lack of necessary cross-training hampered by those vacancies. Because of this in-part, full workloads of our existing Operations staff are common, and in order for our Operations staff to have and be assured the necessary time to successfully perform and complete their day-to-day operational responsibilities, these particular monthly reporting deadlines have unfortunately been missed on occasion. Additionally, because of our desire to submit accurate reports, several times the reconciliation of inventory took greater than 10 days. We continually attempt to submit all of our monthly reporting to the Tennessee Department of Agriculture prior to the 10-business day deadline and consider any missed deadlines as undesirable. It is the responsibility of the COO to fill key open positions, train and cross-train Operations staff to ensure that this particular reporting, and Operations reporting in general, is performed timely and accurately.Anticipated completion date: The corrective controls and procedures were collectively completed, which includes having one staff member responsible for filing the report monthly, checked for accuracy by the COO, and have two additional staff members trained as backups, and put in place February 1, 2023 and are ready for the next fiscal year close. Responsible Official: Scott Fortin, COO (901-373-0437)
