2022-001 Compliance and Internal Controls over Cash Management (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Education COVID -19: Education Stabilization Fund: Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund 84.425E ? COVID-19 Student Portion Recommendation: While not applicable for HEERF funding since this has been fully utilized, for all related federal awards to students, we recommend that in order to minimize the time between funds drawn and eventual disbursement to students, the Business Office should only make draws after communication from the Student Financial Aid department that all student reviews have been completed and these are ready to be paid. Evidence of this communication should also be maintained to allow for proper audit trail. Corrective Action: The College will implement procedures related to federal awards to students that includes the authorization for draws only after formal written communication from the Student Financial Department that all student reviews have been completed with written authorization that they are final and ready for payment. Responsible Parties: A. Benjamin Chelladurai, VP/CFO and Dr. Lisa Stewart, VP/Director of Financial Aid Date Corrected: This recommendation was implemented with immediate effect.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The financial aid office reviewed all R2T4 calculations for the 2021-2022 award year, recalculating the ?percent of aid earned? calculation when necessary.

All 2022-2023 R2T4 calculations made prior to fixing the ?percent of aid earned? calculations were reviewed and adjusted, as needed. The audit tool we used to double-check the 2021-2022 ?percent of earned aid? calculations was added to the 2022-2023 R2T4 tool, as a way to flag calculation inconsistencies for 2022-2023 R2T4 calculations.
