Finding No.: 2022-003 U.S. Department of Education ? 2020, 2021 & 2022 Elementary & Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund ?

Finding No. 2022-001 - Internal Controls over Student Financial Assistance Special Tests and Provisions Condition: During the compliance testing, we noted the following exceptions: ? During the compliance testing of ?Special Tests and Provisions ? Return of Funds? we noted that one (1) student calculation used the incorrect institutional charges in the calculation and one (1) students funds were not sent back to the Department of Education within the required 45 day time frame. ? During the audit of the Federal Student Assistance Cluster we noted one (1) instance where the income tax reported on the Institutional Information Record (ISIR) did not match the information on the student?s income tax transcript. Plan: The Financial Aid Office has revised the worksheet used for Return of Funds calculation to include separate lines for tuition, fees, and books instead of only the aggregate total. The Financial Aid Specialist is training to perform the Return of Funds calculations. Going forward, when the Specialist performs the calculations, the files subsequently will be reviewed by the Director of Institutional Compliance and Research. When the Director of Institutional Compliance and Research reviews the R2T4 files for accuracy, she will also pull up the student?s file in COD to verify the amount has been transmitted. The Director will print the page for the R2T4 binder. This way the Director will quickly be able to see if a file has not been transmitted to COD. The Financial Aid Office staff has been retrained on separating tax information when a student (or parent) filed jointly and is now divorced, which was the case in the noted error. The staff will now leave the percentage to all decimal places in the calculator before multiplying it by the taxes paid. This will remove the chance for error due to rounding. Anticipated Date of Completion: Immediately upon learning of the deficiency. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Amy Epplin, Director of Institutional Compliance & Research

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Las Cruces Public Schools (LCPS) uses the NM Graduation Technical Manual to guide expectations and processes for graduation cohort review for all schools. The District currently supports each registrar with live data dashboards to monitor students who have withdrawn across which includes the NM State code. The LCPS Information Operations Department, who over sees STARS collections, meets with all registrars yearly to review the dashboards, review the NM graduation Technical Manual, along with all internal process of where the documentation needs to occur. After findings from the audit, the following will be added to our process. Training: ? The IO Department will continue to train all registrars on a yearly basis using the state?s Graduation Technical Manual. As of December 1, 2022, this training will now be considered mandatory for the school administrator. ? Attendance of the trainings will be documented in our professional development monitoring system-Vector Solutions. Internal Audits: ? Each site?s school administrator, who attended the training, will conduct frequent checks of the students that have withdrawn to ensure proper documentation is being completed using the data dashboards as reference. ? The LCPS Information Operations Department will conduct two internal audits, one in the fall and one in the spring, to ensure compliance of documentation is ongoing and not occurring only at graduation cohort review timeline.

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The Data Specialist position in the Federal Programs Department was vacant during the time of Biannual certification period and these 3 selections were unintentionally not included in the Biannual Certification necessary for Time and Effort documentation. The Federal Programs Department conducts a review twice a year and will continue to do so with more diligence to detail. When the position is filled, Executive Director of Federal Programs will ensure this individual is properly trained on the reporting procedures and will verify that all reports are completed correctly and in a timely manner before signing. The Executive Director of Federal Programs will ensure the corrective action plan is implemented in the next Biannual Certification period of January 2023.

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the finding of eviewed its process for properly managing the Housing Quality Standards policies. This finding reflects a missed process step by the caseworker, and the Authority will put process steps in place for weekly reviews of all abated units housed in our database by the department supervisor to ensure that housing units are placed in the eligible pool of habitable housing. The corrective process steps will require the department supervisor to extract all abated units weekly and cross reference that report with the updated HQS caseworker has processed the change within 24 hours of the unit passing. Anton Shaw, Vice President of the Housing Choice Voucher Program, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by September 30, 2023 and has since enhanced internal controls immediately, as noted above, to mitigate future exceptions.

Management?s Response The UPR concurs with this finding. On May 6, 2022, UPR-Aguadilla tried to submit the annual report but the Department of Education platform kept showing some errors. Aguadilla asked for feedback on HEERF.AnnualReport@ed.gov and received a manual with instructions to resolve errors. The report was submitted on May 9, 2022. To prevent this issue, on March 8, 2022, the Finance Office at Central Administration sent an e-mail to institutional units reminding them that the annual report as of December 31, 2022 must be submitted on or before March 24, 2022.

Management Response: The UPR concurs with this finding. The UPR received these funds through the Puerto Rico Central Government. The Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority required UPR to submit a report every first and third Friday of every month to inform the total accumulated expenses. If the new report did not have changes from the previous report our Institution was required to just send an email saying ?No changes from the previous report? and no additional report had to be submitted. ? For the 04/01/22 exception, the report was sent on 04/08/22, but there were no changes from the prior report submitted ? For the 05/20/22 exception, the employee in charge of this task was on vacation. We will designate another employee to ensure compliance with the reporting deadlines. Thus, we will have two employees verifying that the reports are ready to submit on time and one of them can substitute the other one when he is on vacation. Responsible Person or Office: Finance Office at Central Administration. Timeline: 2024

Management?s Response The UPR concurs with this finding. To address the situation and take corrective actions, a meeting was held at the Vice Presidency for Academic Affairs and Research on March 15, 2023 with registrars of the eleven (11) units of the UPR System. The following actions were proposed as corrective actions: ? Registrars were instructed to attend a Federal Student Aid workshop on March 28, 2023, on Loan Servicing, Enrollment Reporting, and the National Student Loan System. ? Professors will be oriented on the importance of taking and reporting attendance timely. ? All campuses must use the NEXT System (student data platform developed internally) to report partial and total withdrawals, as well as the attendance report. (We noted that the units that are using NEXT System did not have findings). For the five students of RUM and RCM the UPR was unable to provide information from NSLDS; the search on the website displayed ?Search returned 0 students. No matching students records found?. On December 9, 2022 RUM contacted NSLDS Customer Service Center by e-mail. They later received an e-mail informing the case was closed without further explanations. Also, NSLDS issued electronic announcements confirming problems with the implementation of their new website. On the other hand, RUM was able to provide evidence to auditors that they reported the status change of all students to the Clearing House on time. Responsible Person or Office: Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research. Timeline: June 2024

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: We agree with the auditor?s findings and recognize that some customers did received funding beyond the June 15, 2021 deadline. BWP calculated the daily average arrears for each customer with 60 plus days arrears during the program pandemic period and cross referenced it with the actual past due balances as of June 15, 2021 to ensure no arrears prior to March 4, 2020 were included. Prior to the pandemic, BWP did not have sufficient arrearage data to easily calculate the credits, hence BWP relied on a data search methodology that estimated qualified customer balances to apply funds. Since the pandemic, BWP has changed its reporting on customer arrearages. BWP will run a daily aging report that will be used to calculate customer arrearages incurred during a specific period. Before credits are authorized, BWP Customer Service will manually spot-check the data set to verify accuracy. With regards to review of Federal grants awarded, BWP holds a monthly meeting with key personnel and an outside grants administrator to get status updates of pursued and/or awarded grants, including any federally funded grants. The Financial Accounting Manager-BWP and Principal Utility Accounting Analyst now attend this meeting. The Principal Utility Accounting Analyst will be responsible for timely communication of all key Federal grants data to City Finance and will prepare an annual schedule for all grant funding received/spent through the general ledger. In addition, BWP?s Legislative Analyst and BWP Finance staff will cross check records to timely reconcile grant reporting/activity.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS 2022 ?001 Segregation of Duties Name of contact person: Ann Stroud, Finance Officer Corrective Action: The duties are separated a much as possible with limited staff and alternative controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are not misstated. At this time, it would be cost prohibitive to add personnel just for segregation of duties. The Village recognizes that reasonable assurance takes into consideration that the cost of internal control should not exceed the benefits. The manager or designated alternate is control for most of the finance functions such as review of accounts payable and bank statements. The Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem manually signs checks, so there is a second review before the checks are mailed. The Clerk mails the payable checks. The clerk the deposits and deposits with bank and the Finance Officer records. Purchase card transactions for public works is entered by senior administrative assistant. The Council receives check register, cash balances and revenue and expenditure review on a monthly basis. The Village continues to review possible segregation of duties, if personnel expertise allows. Proposed Completion Date: The Village has implemented the segregation of duties as much as possible without hiring additional personnel that is cost prohibitive at the moment. We have implemented review procedures with management that we believe would prevent any material misstatements of the financial statements. Since the manager is the designated control for finance functions, there is an alternate designated by the Manager.
