Staffing Enhancement - Approval was granted for the hiring of an additional staff member dedicated to the refund process. This action increases operational capacity and strengthens segregation of duties, a key regulatory control to prevent delays in processing Title IV credit balance refunds.

Technical consultations with Ellucian Banner were conducted to ensure that processes align with system best practices and institutional requirements. Completion of Procedures Manual - The procedures manual was finalized and includes standardized steps that streamline workflow, reduce operational risks, and ensure full traceability of each stage of the refund process. The manual is a mandatory reference for the personnel involved in refund process. Interdepartmental Work Schedule - A coordinated work schedule was established among Financial Aid, Bursar, and Accounting. The schedule outlines specific dates for financial aid disbursements, refund processing in student accounts, and issuance of payments to students. This measure strengthens interdepartmental coordination and supports compliance with required timelines. With the implementation of these corrective and preventive measures, the University reinforces its commitment to meeting all required timelines, improving administrative efficiency, and maintaining strong internal controls to ensure timely and compliant processing of Title IV credit balance refunds.

Upon identification of the issue, the Financial Aid Office conducted a comprehensive review of its internal procedures and implemented corrective measures to ensure full compliance with Title IV regulations. These measures included reinforcing staff training through targeted sessions, strengthening internal monitoring controls, and confirming that the new system is properly configured to generate and track disbursement notifications. Additionally, the University is in the process of implementing the ISE system, with an expected full deployment date of April 2026, which will further enhance automation and tracking capabilities related to disbursement notifications. As part of the enhanced monitoring controls, the office has established periodic reviews of disbursement records, monthly reconciliation processes, and the routine generation and review of system reports to verify that notifications are sent timely and accurately. These steps are designed to prevent similar occurrences in the future and ensure that all students receiving Direct Loans are consistently provided with the required disbursement notifications in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management Response: Management concurs with the finding. In prior years, the Single Audit Reporting Package was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse due to an internal misunderstanding of management’s responsibility for submission.

Corrective Action Plan: Management will formally designate responsibility for the timely submission of the Single Audit Reporting Package to a specific member of the finance department. In addition, management will implement a review process to confirm submission and receipt acknowledgment from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Responsible Official: Kimberly Burt, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: Management anticipates the filing will be completed within 30 days of the audit report date.

Management concurs with the findings and auditors’ recommendations to enhance internal controls to ensure compliance with the RD requirements. Furthermore, we would like to note that the questioned costs was paid from project cash for the ultimate benefit of improving the property for the tenants. The substantial rehabilitation tax credit transaction planned by the owner is anticipated to start within the next fiscal year will significantly enhance the living standards and experience for the tenants. The funds used for purposes directly related to the operations of the project will be repaid with the planned closing of the Low-Income Housing tax credit transaction during fiscal year 2026 unless an approval is granted by RD for payment of the questioned costs that will ultimately benefit the tenants of Rotary Commons. Furthermore, internal controls over funds used for purposes unrelated to the Corporation are being strengthened to prevent future noncompliance.

The district purchased a welding lab exhaust system through the ESSER program as part of the welding shop renovation project. While the primary contract for the project included the required Davis-Bacon provisions, a separate purchase was made for the exhaust system that was believed to be equipment only. However, the vendor agreement included labor, and the existing contract did not cover this portion of the work. As a result, the required Davis-Bacon language was not included, and certified payroll documentation was not obtained. The district does not typically pay for construction projects involving labor with federal funds. To address this moving forward, the district is implementing additional review procedures to ensure all federally funded purchases are evaluated for potential labor components prior to approval. Any purchase involving labor will include the required federal provisions and documentation. The district will also strengthen internal communication during project planning to ensure all components are properly identified and compliant.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: While QARI concurs with the need for fully compliant time and effort documentation, the issue identified reflects limitations during the initial implementation of a new payroll system, not misuse of grant funds. QARI implemented a new payroll and timekeeping system in April 2025 to correct undercoding and allocation issues in the prior system. During the transition period (April–June 2025), payroll was allocated using budget-based percentages while staff clocked in and out and supervisors monitored work assignments to ensure time was spent on allowable grant activities. QARI’s internal review confirms that employees charged to the grant performed allowable and allocable work; however, the system configuration did not fully capture employee-level allocations by funding source during this implementation phase. Corrective actions include: 1) Reconstruction of manual timesheets for April–June 2025, supported by calendars and program records, with employee attestation and supervisory approval; 2) Reconfiguration of the payroll system to require employee self-allocation of actual hours worked each pay period; 3) Enhanced supervisory review and internal controls. The questioned costs reflect a temporary documentation gap during system transition, not unsupported or inappropriate expenditures. QARI has taken corrective action to ensure full compliance going forward.
