Criteria: Internal Control: Per 2 CFR section 200.303(a), a non-Federal entity must: Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award.

Cause: SMTCCAC was unable to locate the Expenditure Request Form that demonstrates the approval of an invoice.

Criteria: Internal Control: Per 2 CFR section 200.303(a), a non-Federal entity must: Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should comply with guidance in ?Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government? issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the ?Internal Control Integrated Framework?, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Cause: SMTCCAC did not adequately monitor controls to ensure proper review of the shared document among participating ERAP agencies in Charles County resulting in the potential duplication of benefits.

Finding Reference: 2022-005 Federal Agency: Department of Health and Human Services Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Federal Program: Impacts All Federal Award Programs Grant Award: Various Condition/Context: The single audit report was not submitted to the Office Management and Budget in accordance with the reporting requirement. Criteria: COSO/Internal Control Framework defines control activities as ?policies and procedures that help ensures management?s directives are carried out? This would include preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and the related Data Collection Form in a timely manner. Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.501 states that the audit shall be completed, and the data collection form shall be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after the receipt of the auditor?s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Accordingly, audits for fiscal years ending June 30, 2022 would be due on March 31, 2023. Cause: The single audit report was not submitted due to delays in year-end closing entries, schedules, and reconciliations. Effect: As a result of the finding, SMTCCAC did not provide required information to its federal oversight agency in a timely manner. Questioned Costs: None Recommendation: We believe that the year-end closing process could proceed in a timely manner by adhering to a closing schedule and maintaining timely account reconciliations. Progress should be monitored by management to determine that due dates are being met and required reports are submitted to regulatory agencies within the compliance time frame.

Finding 2022-002: Information on the Federal Program: CFDA 84.268 - Federal Direct Student Loan. United States of Department of Education. Compliance Requirements: Disbursement to or on Behalf of Students Type of Finding: Significant deficiency. Criteria: Program requirements state that the institution may not disburse or deliver the first installment of Direct Loans to first-year undergraduates who are first time borrowers until 30 days after the student's first day of classes (34 CFR 668.164(1)(2)). Condition: For each student in the sample selection receiving direct loans, we reviewed the school's documentation to determine if the student was a first-year undergraduates who are first time borrowers to determine is the institution disburse the first installment of direct loans until 30 days after the first day of class. Questioned Costs: $0 Context: We identified one student who was not coded as first-year undergraduate who was a first-time borrower in the Colleague System when he should have. Thisbefore the 30 days required time frame. Effect or Potential Effect: Early distribution to first-year undergraduates who are first time borrowers' students who are subject to the 30-day delayed disbursement requirement. Cause: Internal control process failure. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: TVCC should develop and institute a sustainable internal control system for appropriate identification of first-year undergraduates who are first time borrowers. Explanation of Disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The student identified in this finding did not attend in the fall and when switching over to a spring summer loan, the student was coded incorrectly. The TVCC Financial Aid Office has updated our process in packaging students that start in the spring term and did not attend in the fall to include reviewing those students manually. The financial aid job aide has been updated to include a manual review of students that are being imported into Colleague and plan to begin in the Spring semester. At the time of the review, the financial aid counselor is responsible for assigning the correct attendance pattern to the student's financial aid file to, so the student is packaged with the correct loan disbursement code.

This task has been assigned to two financial aid counselors, on various campuses, to monitor and review.

Please note this issue had no impact on the actual calculation of lost revenue nor did it result in a change to amounts recognized. On behalf of the University, Victor Perez, Director of Finance, contacted HRSA officials on September 15, 2021. The purpose of this contact was to receive guidance from HRSA for resolution of the incorrect option selection (option 2 rather than option 3) for the University?s Period 1 and Period 2 submissions. HRSA provided case number 00013184. HRSA informed the University they would not be reopening the portal, but HRSA would inform the University if any action was needed at a later date. We recommend management also contact HRSA to notify them of the inclusion of revenues not attributable to patient care in the budgeted revenues reported in the HRSA portal for Period 2. Further when revising the lost revenues methodology for Period 3 and beyond, the HRSA portal is configured to automatically reset, and the user is prompted to re-enter lost revenues for Periods 1 and 2. As such, management will select option 3 for all future submissions and will ensure that both the budgeted revenues and the actual revenues do not include revenues not attributable to patient care. As of the reporting date of March 31, 2023, no further communication from HRSA has been received by the University. Upon any future receipt of funds from a U.S. government program, management will design and implement an internal control around a secondary review of the most updated HRSA guidance and the subsequent submissions in order to ensure proper review of all elements of the relevant guidance prior to submission to the portal.
