University’s Response: Management agrees with the finding. Upon identification of the issue, management performed a review of all students reported to the NSLDS for the fiscal year. Management identified a total of 61 students who withdrew, out of a total population of 80 students who withdrew during the fiscal year, where the effective date of the withdrawal at the Campus Level record did not match the Program Level record. The University understands the importance of accurate and timely reporting of enrollment status and corrected the student Campus Level and Program Level records in the NSLDS system for all 61 students prior to the completion of the audit. Corrective Action Plan: To prevent recurrence, management has instituted a new review control. Following each regular submission to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), management will perform a post-submission reconciliation of the data ultimately accepted by NSLDS to ensure Campus Level and Program Level effective dates match. Any discrepancies identified during this review will be corrected immediately to ensure compliance with the 15-day reporting timeframe. This periodic review will be executed and documented by the Office of the Registrar, and then reviewed by Student Financial Services, with final oversight from the Chief Financial Officer. Anticipated Completion Date: Implemented as of May 31, 2026 Contact person: Christopher Fevola Chief Financial Officer 516-299-2535

Barton College management has recommended immediate adoption of this software solution to address this requirement and other needs. There may be occurrences of this matter for 2025-26 prior to Ruth Casper’s onboarding. She has since implemented the communication flow explained above.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No.: Various Recommendation: We recommend that management strengthen and formalize internal control procedures over federal awards, including documented reviews, approvals, and reconciliations. We also recommend management provide training to staff responsible for federal program administration to ensure understanding of Uniform Guidance requirements. Lastly, management should establish periodic internal reviews to verify that control activities are consistently performed and documented. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to the finding: Due to staff turnover, the loan reconciliation process was performed by the Director of Financial Aid. While the design of the internal controls over the Title IV loan reconciliation process remain accurate, timely, and compliant with federal requirements, Management will formalize procedures to ensure appropriate independent review when the Director completes the reconciliation in the event of staff absences or turnover. Specifically, internal control procedures will require that all reconciliations be reviewed and approved by a qualified supervisor, with documentation retained to evidence both the performance and review of the control. Additionally, the policy will designate appropriate backup personnel to perform the review function in situations where the primary supervisor is unavailable due to absence or staffing changes.
