Corrective Action Plan: During the month of October 2024, a financial aid consultant met with Cottey staff to discuss and plan better procedures related to awarding and reviewing Federal Loans. Throughout the 2024-25 school year, we have implemented quarterly internal audits where students are randomly selected and processed through an internal review of their federal awards. Through this new process, we are reviewing loan eligibility, disbursement dates, and documentation for each student. By completing this process quarterly, we will be able to do an additional review of each student in detail while the school year is still in session and corrections can be made.

U.S. Department of Education, Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing # 84.033, 84.063, 84.007, 84.268 – Enrollment Reporting (Significant Deficiency). Condition: The University did not report student enrollment data to the National Student Clearinghouse within the minimum required timeframe. Criteria: Based on requirements set forth by 34 CFR Section 685.309(b)(2), the University is responsible for notifying the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) of changes to student’s enrollment data within minimum required timeframes. Cause: Controls are not functioning properly. Effect: Enrollment data was not reported timely or accurately to the Department of Education thus, the Department could not properly service the student’s loans. The accuracy of Title IV student loan records depends heavily on the accuracy of the enrollment information reported by institutions. Context: From a population of 129 students that withdrew officially or unofficially during a term, we tested 12 students and noted that the withdrawal date was incorrectly reported as the last day of the term for four students and was not reported for one student. In addition, the R2T4 calculation was prepared untimely for four students that required a calculation, as noted in finding 2024-004, and thus the withdrawal dates were reported untimely. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that a review process be put in place to ensure timely and accurate enrollment reporting to NSLDS. Corrective Actions: The policy to be developed regarding student withdrawals and R2T4 calculations will specify that students’ withdrawal dates are to be defined as the last date of academic attendance. The policy also will stipulate that, in accordance with National Student Clearinghouse requirements, Bluefield University will submit accurate student enrollment data throughout the academic year.

Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The College does not have a negotiated rate, however, they used a rate other than the de minimis rate of 10% in their calculation of indirect costs. The College also did not use the modified total direct costs “MTDC” for purposes of this calculation, but instead used the budgeted indirect cost total for the program. As a result of this condition, the College over-charged the grant by $21,765 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure that the indirect costs charged to the grant are in accordance with the grant award letter. Corrective Action.

Context: For testing of activities allowed and unallowed, a sample of 21 vendor vouchers were selected for testing. Two vouchers totaling $61,841 were related to disbursements for floor replacement costs incurred and charged to the ESSER III grant award. The School Corporation received approval from the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) through the grant application to utilize a portion of the ESSER II grant award for floor replacement throughout the School Corporation. During the audit period, the School Corporation had $88,600 that was disbursed and reported on the SEFA for ESSER II and $142,400 that was disbursed and reported on the SEFA for ESSER III for floor replacement. The School Corporation did not receive approval from the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) to use ESSER III funding for the flooring project as required for construction or remodeling related projects. The total amount of the flooring project funded by the ESSER III grant, including amounts paid prior to the audit, was $219,992.

Context: For the one project sampled for Davis-Bacon requirements, the School Corporation did not obtain the weekly payroll reports certifications from the company that performed renovations on the School Corporation. Therefore, no review was performed to ensure that pay rates complied with the federal wage rate requirements. Additionally, the School Corporation did not have a contract with the company that included the clause for the federal wage rate requirements. The amount disbursed and reported on the SEFA during the audit period is $231,000. Audit adjustments were proposed, accepted by the School Corporation, and made to the SEFA to correct the issues noted above. We also noted there was no documented, secondary review of the information in the SEFA by someone other than the preparer. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Lisa Baker, Business Manager/Treasurer Contact Phone Number: 765-664-0624 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Davis-Bacon requirements is a repeat finding due to the timing of the prior audit and a lag for new controls to take effect. When the School Corporation is awarded federal funds that will be used for construction, alteration, or repair projects in excess of $2,000, the superintendent and/or business manager will notify the contractors that the project is being funded by federal funds and the requirements as outlined by the Davis-Bacon Act. In addition, the superintendent and/or the business manager will ensure that the contractors provide weekly payroll report certifications and will review the documents to ensure compliance with the wage rate requirements. The SEFA, which is included with the Annual Financial Report, is reviewed by the deputy treasurer upon its completion. Going forward, any corrections or adjustments made to the SEFA will be reviewed by the deputy treasurer or other district office employee.

Finding 2024-005 Recommendation: The University should implement a monthly review process to ensure all student enrollment status changes are captured when certifying enrollment data. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: During fiscal year 2024, there was a one-time error resulting in manual enrollment statuses not being captured by the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Degree and enrollment files were sent timely, however, manual updates of student statuses on the NSC website were not processed successfully leading to inconsistencies. Going forward, enrollment files will be reviewed regularly against the NSLDS website to ensure that all student enrollment statuses are accurate. Individual Responsible for Corrective Action: Deanna Carroll, University Registrar, 610-660-1000, ddaly@sju.edu Anticipated Completion Date for Corrective Action: The Planned Corrective Actions will be immediately implemented.
