Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.033 Recommendation: We recommend the University review current processes for calculating and tracking the students employed in community service activities for its Federal Work Study funds to meet the minimum 7% requirement. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The University is prepared to return the FY25 FWS Unspent portion of the 7% Community Service required spending (7% of Final FWS Funding of $742,211 = $51,954.77 (rounded to $51,955) [Community Service spending requirement] minus $25,061 (FWS funds spent in community service as reported on FISAP) = $26,894 (Unspent portion of 7% to be returned to ED). Since the pandemic year, ISU’s off-campus (community service) participation has been dwindling and overall FWS participation has suffered since many students and employers are opting to be involved in the University’s Career Path Internship (CPI) program over FWS. Due to the struggles in recent years to meet the 7% Community Service requirement, ISU has been applying for a waiver of the Community Service requirement but thus far our waiver requests have been denied. The Financial Aid Office is reviewing current processes related to tracking FWS Community Service spending and partnering with the Career Center to proactively identify off-campus participants and looking at ways to cooperate with the University’s CPI program participants who are FWS-eligible and who are working in Community Service activities and plan to expand on-campus FWS Community Service opportunities to meet the minimum 7% community service requirement.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.033, 84.268, 84.063 & 84.007 Recommendation: We recommend the University review current processes for reporting to NSLDS and implement procedures to ensure submissions are reported accurately and timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Reason for 2024-004 Finding’s Recurrence: Related to case identified where a corrected Last Date of Attendance (Effective Date in Banner System on SFAWDRL input by the Financial Aid Office for a fully online student during the Unofficial Withdrawal [post term] Return of Title IV processing) was not carried over to Status Date in Banner maintained by the Registrar’s Office and to NSC/NSLDS so that all are reporting the accurate Last Date of Attendance, the University found that corrected dates during the semester aligned and were being reported to NSC/NSLDS in a timely manner, but that corrected dates after end of term were not being transmitted to NSC and NSLDS. Related to case identified of not reporting Graduated status to NSLDS in a timely manner: Typically, it takes approximately 2–3 weeks after commencement to clear degree audits and begin awarding degrees, as commencement occurs before final grades are released. The Graduate-only upload to NSC was completed on May 21, 2025.However, due to limitations with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) system, which does not accept multiple awards being posted simultaneously, we received an error report affecting approximately 60% of our graduates. Records included in this report must be corrected manually, which is a time-consuming process. We actively work to correct these records as quickly as possible within our current human resource limitations. The corrected error file related to the 2025-002 finding was uploaded to NSC on July 11, 2025, and sent to NSLDS on 7/12/2025. Action taken in response to finding: The University reviewed its procedures and implemented steps in our Unofficial Withdrawal [post term] Return of Title IV business process to include an email communication plan between the Financial Aid staff and the Office of the Registrar along with documentation sharing and added review steps to ensure the post-term corrected Last Date of Attendance is updated in all affected institutional and federal systems in a timely manner. The Office of the Registrar will correct errors returned from NSC within four weeks of receiving the file. To ensure this task is completed in a timely manner, we will allocate additional human resources as needed.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The University reviewed its procedures and reporting processes and added calendar reminders to run queries around our census day each term (since the case identified in the audit was due to a timing issue of a student’s aid period revision and when our automated Exit counseling processes are turned on) to find students who were missed by our automated processes for the adding of EXIT tracking requirement and ensuring timely notifications to the students.

The University acknowledges the finding and affirms its commitment to full compliance with federal enrollment reporting requirements.Following the prior-year finding, management implemented enhanced internal controls, including:Peer review of enrollment status reports prior to submission.Reconciliation of student status lists between the Registrar's Office and Financial Aid Office.Monitoring of submission confirmations to ensure successful transmission to NSLDS.Despite these controls, a programming error within the Student Information System (SIS) caused enrollment status change dates to become corrupted during the electronic transmission process from the SIS to the National Student Clearinghouse and subsequently to NSLDS. As a result, certain reported dates did not accurately reflect the actual effective date of the student's enrollment change. The issue was technical in nature and not the result of failure to perform the reporting process.

Description of Corrective Action Plan: It is increasingly difficult to get our non-public schools to spend their grant money. However, to address the internal control finding, we will strengthen subrecipient monitoring by implementing clearer expenditure timelines for subrecipient entities associated with the grant to ensure awarded funds are expended properly and in a timely manner in accordance with grant requirements. We will also provide additional technical assistance and guidance regarding allowable costs and conduct more frequent financial reviews throughout the grant cycle. These measures will promote timely use of funds, improve compliance with grant requirements, and reduce the risk of unspent or improperly managed grant resources in future periods.

Context : During our testing of the School Corporation’s compliance with the allowable cost requirements for the Child Nutrition Cluster (CNC), we tested 40 vendor disbursement transactions and 40 payroll disbursement transactions and identified the following exceptions: 1. For one vendor disbursement, the School Corporation incorrectly recorded the disbursement for $820 to Fund 800 (School Lunch Fund) that should have been recorded to Fund 300 (Operations Fund), resulting in an unallowable cost being charged to the food service fund. 2. For one payroll disbursement, the School Corporation inaccurately entered the number of hours worked by a cafeteria employee for one pay period, resulting in an overpayment to the employee by $5,568. The employee notified the School Corporation of the overpayment and remitted the overpayment back to the School Corporation. These errors were attributable to deficiencies in the internal controls over the review and approval of vendor and payroll expenditures. Views of Responsible Official : We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan : Management will enhance controls and review processes surrounding vendor and payroll expenditures charged to the Child Nutrition.
