2023-005 – Special Tests and Provisions – Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) – Material Weakness in Internal Controls over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Student Financial Assistance Cluster Department of Education Finding Summary: This occurred because of lack of controls and processes in place to ensure supporting documentation is maintained for student’s withdrawal dates, and a lack of understanding of compliance requirements. This resulted in a failure to properly identify students requiring calculation for return of funds to the federal government, or eligibility for post withdrawal disbursement. As a result, the auditors were unable to determine if the College is remitting unearned funds to the federal government, or offering eligible students post withdrawal disbursements if available to them. Responsible Individuals: Michael N. Espinoza, Vice President of Student Services Corrective Action Plan: The college entered into a third-party contract to manage financial aid packaging and awarding. Integration and processes for the R2T4 calculation with the third-party processer was not completed correctly. New integrations, policies, and processes to be adopted in fiscal year 2023-24.  Develop and implement ongoing tracking and reporting for all financial aid reporting.  Financial Aid and Student Accounts work to regularly review and action student account files.  Continue to work with third-party service to review and promptly return Title IV funding in compliance with federal rulings.

over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Student Financial Assistance Cluster Department of Education Federal Assistance Listing Number: 84.063, 84.268 Federal Program Name: Federal Pell Grant Program, Federal Direct Student Loans Finding Summary: The College did not have controls in place to ensure the reporting of enrollment information under the Pell grant and Direct loan programs via NSLDS was completed. Due to the way the College’s software pulls the roster information, the Clearing House is unable to send the data to NSLDS. While the College has been working with the software vendor to correct this issue, the reporting process for NSLDS stopped in the prior award year and has not resumed. Management did not implement other processes or procedures to deal with the issues encountered with the software to fulfill their responsibility to ensure accurate and timely reporting and submission of student status during the year. The College is not in compliance with the federal enrollment reporting requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and required by the Department of Education. Repeat finding – Yes, 2022-003 Responsible Individuals: Mary Martin, Registrar Michael N. Espinoza, Vice President of Student Services Corrective Action Plan: Enrollment reporting is the responsibility of the Columbia Gorge Community College (CGCC) Registrar. Reporting of enrollment information in a timely manner for the year ended June 30, 2023, was impacted by the implementation of a new Student Information System (SIS) in May 2021. The SIS included significant changes to student recording procedures and a new enrollment reporting process. In response to the Enrollment Reporting Finding for the year ended June 30, 2023, the Registrar continues working to mitigate any issues negatively impacting enrollment reporting by:  working with the Vice President of Student Services and Director of Financial Aid to establish internal checks and balances to ensure reporting is being done in a timely manner.  working with SIS system support staff and internal IT staff to promptly address technical issues and/or other issues impacting enrollment reporting. 106  working with National Student Clearinghouse representative to ensure reporting schedule meets required timeframes.  consistent review of enrollment files prior to submission to ensure correct student enrollment statuses and program information are being reported.  prompt resolution of reporting errors.  identifying and training of additional staff on enrollment reporting.

For students that had a gap in enrollment and were no longer with the University, the NSC system recognized these students as “withdrawn” regardless of whether they were reported as “withdrawn” or “graduated.” The University confirmed these students were properly reported to NSC as “graduated”; however, when the reporting from NSC to NSLDS occurred, it was based on the information recognized by NSC, and as such these students were reported as “withdrawn.” Acceptance of Finding: We agree with the above finding and will implement the corrective plan of action as described below: Corrective Plan of Action: After submission of enrollment information to the NSLDS, the University has not historically verified that the NSLDS has updated students’ enrollment status accurately. The University will formalize a process and establish procedures to regularly identify students whose enrollment status is improperly reported to NSLDS, particularly those reported as “withdrawn” instead of “graduated.” To the extent there are discrepancies between the University’s records and these students’ enrollment status in NSLDS, the University will correct the enrollment status of such students in NSLDS accordingly. This process and related procedures will be established and implemented by the close of the current fiscal year, July 31, 2024.

Unlike other subgrants managed by the Department of Law and Public Safety (DLPS), the subgrants in the Public Assistance program are not issued by the Department but instead are issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These FEMA-issued subgrants take the form of Project Worksheets (PWs) and are directly related to a specific disaster. FEMA informs the DLPS of the approved PWs after they are issued. Given the unique nature of the PW issuance, the DLPS is not in a position to report on the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) at the time PWs are issued. This contrasts with other grant programs overseen by the DLPS, which do allow for timely subaward reporting in FSRS. The Department will continue to work with our FEMA partners, incorporating any guidance they provide, to develop procedures that ensure subawards are reported in FSRS within the FFATA reporting requirements.

The Department of Human Services’ Division of Family Development (DFD) agrees with the audit finding regarding the required submission of subawards to the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). Due to the complexity and time required to compile and report FFATA subaward data, the DFD is in the process of creating a new full-time equivalent position (FTE) for this required federal reporting task. In accordance with the finding recommendation, the DFD will develop internal controls and procedures to ensure the timely reporting of all required subawards to FSRS. An initial review of the FSRS by DFD fiscal staff appeared to indicate that some federal grant award data that should be prepopulated by the awarding federal agency and available on the website was missing (e.g. Child Care M&M available; Discretionary not found). Staff will reach out to the necessary federal agencies to communicate instances of missing federal award information in an effort to ensure that the DFD has the ability to input the required subaward information. DFD anticipates that the assessment and development of policy and procedures related to this task will take approximately three (3) months. Staff assignment, training, and submission of federal grant subaward information to the federal website will occur over the next state fiscal year.
