Rutgers University-Newark made the decision to use some of their institutional HEERF funds as direct payments to student accounts in order to both reduce the burden on students and as a reimbursement to the University for outstanding student receivables. The University?s understanding was that funds used in this manner from the institutional portion of HEERF funds did not require student consent. The finding has pointed out that information did exist in an FAQ, which clarifies that when using institutional HEERF funds in this manner student consent is required. Going forward we will change our policy so when applying any HEERF funds to student receivables as a direct grant to the student, a consent process will be in place that allows students to authorize the University to reduce their outstanding charges. Moving forward, the consent and distribution process for any direct student grants, including institutional HEERF funds, will be moved under University Enrollment Services which will ensure that the proper distribution of funds occurs and that internal controls are in place so that the awarding criteria are adhered to across all student recipients.

Concerning the HEERF Student Aid quarterly report, the reporting responsibility for the quarter closing December 31, 2021 was assigned to two individuals who have since separated from university employment. The reporting requirements were understood and while there is no reason to believe that the quarterly report in question was not uploaded, there are no emails or retained backup information for that report. On February 9, 2021, the final Student Aid report was uploaded to the website and that documentation has been provided. The responsibility for quarterly reporting has been moved to the Associate Director for Communications, University Enrollment Services. She has setup an automatic calendar alert to several senior staff members as well as the staff person responsible for the upload so establish multiple points of contact so there is backup immediately in place should we experience additional staff turnover or another unplanned disruption. Regarding the Institutional Aid report, the University acknowledges the deadline was missed by one day. Research Financial Services oversees the institutional aid reporting. The quarterly reporting period through June 30, 2022, had a reporting due date of July 10, 2023. Within those 10 days, four were weekend dates (7/2-7/3) and (7/9-7/10), and 7/4 was observed for a national holiday. We submitted the report for posting Monday morning, in which it landed on our website less than 24 hours after the original due date which fell on a weekend date. In the future we will ensure the public posting of this quarterly report occurs by the deadline.

2022-001 ? Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Inspections Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: In the prior year single audit, 1 out of 40 tenants selected for testing did not receive an HQS inspection within the two year window as of December 31, 2021. This tenant did not appear on the appropriate reports that would have generated inspection letters to be sent, and so was overlooked in the process. Per management inquiry, as part of current year testing, the County still has a small list of tenants for this program that have not had an HQS inspection during the two year window as of December 31, 2022. Because of this condition there was an increased risk that required inspections would not be completed timely. Auditor Recommendation: The County should update its tracking process for determining which units are due for HQS inspection, so that all units that have not been inspected within the two year window will be considered. Management Assessment. We concur with the audit assessment regarding this matter. Planned Corrective Action. Management has reviewed its existing procedures and has already made revisions, as appropriate, to ensure that all applicable requirements are considered in the monitoring process. Responsible Party.

2022? 001 - Segregation of Duties Condition/Context: Council staff have limited segregation of duties for all transactions of the entity. The Council?s staff is not large enough to permit adequate segregation of duties. This lack of segregation of duties does not allow management to detect and correct a material misstatement if present. Due to the size of the Council?s staff it is anticipated that this will be an ongoing finding. Compensating controls are in place; however, this continues to be an ongoing finding. Recommendation: In our judgment, management and those charged with governance need to understand the importance of this communication. However, due to the lack of resources available to management to correct this weakness, we recommend that management mitigate this weakness with possible compensating controls such as close supervision and monitoring by management and by the Board of Directors. Corrective Action Planned: The Council of Community Services has a full-time bookkeeper with adequate experience, continues to have Board involvement, and actively seeks new Board members with financial experience. We also added a Board member who is a Certified Public Accountant that also sits on the Finance Committee of the Board. This additional oversight adds layers of supervision and monitoring which should allow any intentional fraud or unintentional errors to be prevented or detected and corrected in a timely manner. Compensating controls are in place; however, this continues to be an ongoing finding. Contact Mikel Scott ? Executive Director Anticipated Completion Date Due to the size of the staff, this is expected to be an ongoing finding, all compensating controls have been in place since 2015.
