CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Finding 2022-001 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster ALN: 84.063 and 84.268 Finding Summary: University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (?UMHB?) had three conditions that led to NSLDS reporting discrepancies for five students. Cause 1: A system report used for NSLDS reporting incorrectly included the end of a student?s enrollment term instead of the date of official withdrawal communication. Cause 2: UMHB did not adjust the NSLDS transmittal calendar when UMHB?s academic calendar was modified for an earlier start date. Cause 3: A system report used for NSLDS reporting did not include withdrawal dates for students that had unofficially withdrawn. Responsible Individuals: Trent Bridges, Director of Data Quality & Institutional Analytics Bethany Chapman, Institutional Research Coordinator Corrective Action Plan: Related to Causes 1 and 3: UMHB will review all the coding on system reports used for NSLDS reporting to assess accuracy and completeness of the data based on any changes in business practice and make updates to system reports as necessary. UMHB will update its internal process to document any required special handling of records based on system limitations. UMHB will reassess system report and processes used for NSLDS reporting prior to the beginning of each fall and spring semester. Related to Cause 2: UMHB has adjusted its NSLDS submission schedule according to our new academic calendar with the first of term submission occurring on the census date. UMHB will establish a schedule to include more frequent submissions throughout the term. Additionally, UMHB will run a withdrawal report twice a month and manually adjust enrollment status to ensure these students are reported as withdrawn correctly to NSLDS. Anticipated Completion Date: September 15, 2022

The discrepancies in payroll reporting were identified by Youthprise during 2023. Management discovered that reports downloaded from the third-party processor were not accurately coding salary based on timecard reports submitted by some of its employees. Youthprise is working with its Human Resources consultant, who is working with the 3rd party payroll processor, to correct the reporting issues going forward. Youthprise will review its internal controls going forward to ensure sufficient oversight is maintained over its payroll processes to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis.

Recommendation: Responsibilities of approval, execution, recording and custody be distributed among individuals to the degree possible. We recommend that management and the Board of Directors should remain involved in the financial affairs of the Authority to provide oversight and independent review functions and to continue exercising due diligence and professional skepticism in relation to the Authority?s financial operations. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We will continue segregating duties among the Authority Manager, Board, and Accounting Manager. An individual other than the Accounting Manager will review cancelled checks to ensure payment amount and payee agreed with that had been approved by the board.

Contact Person: William Bane Management's Response: Management acknowledges that there were not sufficient controls in place to ensure written consent from HUD prior to incurring new debt or lease arrangements. Management does feel that subsequent emails and phone conversations did take place where communication of new debt or lease arrangements were discussed. However, Management cannot produce hard copy documentation due to not having access to the email files of management that was in place at that time. Current Management has now established effective controls to ensure that written consent is obtained prior to incurring new debt or lease arrangements. Going forward, Accounting will verify prior to submitting any payments that the addendum with the HUD language has been received . These will be scanned and saved to one central location so that they are easy to obtain. In addition, once Accounting Management is aware of any new debt being discussed, we will ensure there is a copy of the approval from HUD kept in Accounting so it can be easily obtained.

Management does feel that subsequent emails and phone conversations did take place with HUD about this issue, but Management cannot produce hard copies of the documentation due to not having access to the email files of management that was in place at that time.

Finding 2022-001 SB Finding: During our audit, it came to our attention that the 2022 opening net assets did not reconcile to the 2021 independent audited amounts. There were several changes to prior year balances after the end of the audit. Additionally, there is no supervisory review of journal entries and general ledger activity on a monthly basis. Foundation?s Response: The Foundation does not concur. The auditor advised the Foundation that the material weakness finding was due to the ?additional time and effort needed to reconcile opening balances.? During the 2021 audit, the Foundation advised the auditor that general ledger account names would change in 2022, as part of the corrective action plan to clear the 2021 finding. The auditor acknowledged observing differences during the 2022 entrance conference, however there was no coordination to map account name changes prior to uploading the Foundation?s financial statements into the auditor?s system. As a result, multiple accounts did not map correctly to the 2021 account names and dozens of variances were created. Account name changes fell into two categories. First, we added clarifying language to distinguish expenditure accounts as G&A or Program. For example, the account name Travel: Reimbursements was changed to Company Travel: Reimbursements to clearly identify the account as a G&A expenditure. The purpose of which was to improve the effectiveness of account reconciliations, and reduce our risk of erroneous financial statement presentation, and our risk of erroneously charging an unallowable cost to federal funds. The Foundation updated 12 general ledger account names, and when posted into the auditor?s system, they were added as new accounts. This initially resulted in 24 account balance variances, however once the accounts were mapped, the variances were resolved. A second category of account changes involved the Foundation?s revenue accounts. The Foundation provided the auditor with a detailed accounting treatment plan during the 2021 audit as advance notice for 2022. We added primary accounts to clearly distinguish a funding source as Federal, Federal pass-through, non-Federal, Corporate and Private Donor, for the purpose of standardizing year-end accrual procedures and to ensure greater accuracy in the carry forward of net assets. Thirteen revenue accounts were moved under the new primary accounts, and this resulted in 18 variances in the SB system. Again, once the accounts were mapped, the variances were resolved. The Foundation does not expect mis-matched accounts to occur in the future. During our variance reconciliation, the Foundation added SB?s numerical codes to our account names to allow SB?s system to match records numerically, rather than by name. The Foundation did adjust two year-end accrual balances to correct items missed in 2021. During the 2022 audit the Foundation requested guidance on restating the 2021 statements for the adjustments, however, because the amount was immaterial, the auditor recommended the adjustment be made in 2022. Foundation removed the 2021 post-audit adjustments and posted them to 2022. The total amount of the adjustments was $126,031. The auditor?s corrective action was completed after the 2021 audit. Reconciliations are completed monthly, quarterly, and/or annually. Additionally, we engaged a bookkeeper that is credentialed as a certified professional advisor for our accounting software. The bookkeeper?s beginning task was to perform a ?health check? of the accrual accounts set up during the 2021 audit, and we were assured of the effectiveness of our accounts. On a monthly basis, the bookkeeper performs monthly account reconciliations, financial statement preparation, and variance identification, when applicable. The reconciliations are overseen by Foundation?s Director of Finance, a certified public accountant.

2022-003 Internal Control Structure Design Recommendation: While considering the cost of any benefits derived, activities should be segregated and handled by different employees. Action Taken: The cost of implementing a complete set of controls far outweighs the benefits derived by such. It is not financially feasible to have a complete set of controls.
Management concurs with the auditor?s findings and recommendations. Additional personnel have been added to the the accounting department to provide oversight and allow for segregation of duties.
