Finding 2024-003 – U.S. Department of Education (USDE), Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs (Significant Deficiencies): We observed the following conditions in connection with our testing of the various U.S. Department of Education, Title IV, Student Financial Assistance Programs. 1) The College did not reconcile the following programs between the Office of Financial Aid and the Business Office. Per 34 CFR 685.300(b)(5). a. Federal Pell Grant Program b. Federal Direct Student Loans c. Federal SEOG d. Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program 2) The Office of Financial Aid submitted unreconciled expenditures within the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP) for the programs below: a. Federal Pell Grant Program b. Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program c. Federal SEOG 3) Thirty-two out of 60 students had a credit balance on their account created by Title IV program funds longer than 14 days. 34 CFR 668.164(h)(1). Auditor's Recommendation – The University should implement corrective actions to ensure that the above findings are resolved and will not recur in future periods. Corrective Action – Refunds – The refund non-compliance is contributed to the institution’s ERP (Jenzabar) not being operational for about 7 months. This hindered the staff’s ability to properly review and process student refunds timely. The institution has a process in place to ensure compliance of distribution and is also enhancing the student refund module to improve timeliness of refund distribution. Federal Reconciliations and FISAP – The non-compliance is contributed to the institution’s ERP (Jenzabar) not being operational for about 7 months. This hindered the staff’s ability to properly reconcile federal funds timely and assurance in accuracy in completing the FISAP. In addition, the software enhancements for the Accounting modules, the institution has purchased a system enhancement for Financial Aid to be able to centralize FA processing and generate Federal Reconciliations and FISAP report. The Jenzabar Financial Aid software will assist the institution with maintaining compliance with all external federal reporting.

Corrective Action Plan: In March of 2024, the College created a policy that implemented scheduled disbursement dates to ensure the timely recording of disbursement dates. The finding for June 30, 2024, single audit occurred before the new policy was in effect. The number of findings also decreased, and students audited after the corrective action was put into place were done correctly. To continue to mitigate this from occurring in the future, the College has implemented a report that will show differences in the date Direct Student Loan funds are disbursed in Powerfaids versus the date the funds are applied to a student’s ledger, and date shown as disbursed in COD. All differences will be investigated and rectified on a biweekly basis. Timeline for Implementation of Corrective Action Plan: Implemented in March 2024 Contact Person Lynn Comtois Director of Financial Aid
