Saint Mary's believes that the switch to J1 and upcoming J1 software patch should solve the reporting issues. We anticipate that all students will be submitted to the Clearinghouse correctly, and will set up ad hoc reports to verify no students are missed. As for the NSC reporting correctly to NSLDS, we anticipate that the two entities have resolved the issues that they were having in communicating with each other. The Registrar's Office will ask the Financial Aid office to verify that students are being reported to NSLDS correctly. The Registrar's Office does not have access to NSLDS, but the prior Financial Aid Director did, so the current one should as well.

There is no disagreement with the audit finding. We have diligently reviewed our procedures and implemented robust measures to ensure strict adherence to the regulations governing Return of Title IV Funds. Our efforts have focused on establishing comprehensive double checks throughout the process to mitigate any potential errors or oversights. This includes enhanced annual training, dual verification process - every Return of Title IV fund calculation must now be calculated first by our Financial Aid Data and Reporting Analyst and then re-calculated and reviewed by the Executive Director of One Stop. We now have a robust documentation process for each return and prior to the end of the fiscal implemented internal audits of all withdrawn students. We are confident these measures will maintain compliance and ensure accuracy.

FINDING 2023-002 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls, which would include appropriate segregation of duties, that would likely be effective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance. The School Corporation was required to submit annual data reports to the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) via JotForm, a form/report builder. Data to be submitted included, but was not limited to, current period expenditures, prior period expenditures, and expenditures per activity. During the audit period the School Corporation submitted two ESSER I reports, two ESSER II reports and two ESSER III reports, for a total of six reports. The annual data reports were complied, prepared and submitted by the Assistant Superintendent without an oversight or review process in place to prevent, or detect and correct, errors. Furthermore, the reported data on two of the reports could not be traced back to records that accumulate or summarize the data; therefore, the accuracy and completeness of the reports could not be verified. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Jim Diagostino, Superintendent, and Lori Bennett, Treasurer Contact Phone Number: 317-539-9200 Views of Responsible Officials: We agree with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Superintendent, or designee, will prepare the annual data reports to be reported to the IDOE by using records that accumulate or summarize the data. Prior to the submission of the reports, the Treasurer will review the records and annual data report. The Treasurer will initial and date a hard copy of the report to ensure accuracy and completeness. Anticipated Completion Date: March 31, 2024

2023-002 Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure that students’ statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Bethel University Registrar is responsible for ensuring timely and accurate reporting to NSLD via the National Student Clearinghouse. Cheryl Fisk was appointed to serve as University Registrar on August 1, 2022. While new to Bethel, she is not new to Clearinghouse reporting. She assumed the oversight of the Clearinghouse reporting and is working to ensure timely, accurate submissions. • Bethel reports student enrollment to NSLDS via the National Student Clearinghouse • Currently, the people involved in the process include: o Data Management Team: Ana Ortiz, Data Coordinator o Registrar Staff: Cheryl Fisk, University Registrar o Information Technology Service Staff: Kurt Jarvi, Systems Analyst Based on the previous audit, adjustments were made to the timing of the Clearinghouse enrollment submissions. This has been accomplished with enrollment being reported every month on the same date to enable automated submissions. As we tried to systematize graduation reporting, we encountered multiple technical issues. These issues involved both Information Technology and the Clearinghouse, which resulted in a delay in the reporting of graduates from May through August 2023. Additional training has been provided by the Clearinghouse and other sources which have been viewed by those involved in Clearinghouse reporting. We have also sought the advice from other institutions who report to the Clearinghouse. Our corrective action will involve several parts. • First, we will add more graduation only submissions to our Clearinghouse schedule to ensure they are getting reported in a timely manner. • Second, we will investigate where our Clearinghouse reports are pulling the graduation date form our Student Information System (Banner) to ensure those fields are accurate. • Third, we will review our process for determining degree conferral dates to ensure it aligns with our reporting schedule. • Fourth, over this past summer (2023) we worked with staff to clarify student withdrawal procedures. We will continue to do that. • Fifth, we will continue to take advantage of Clearinghouse training and other related training opportunities. • Sixth, we will be proactive in confirming that the Clearinghouse has received our submissions and has processed them in a timely manner.

The University has made all corrections to the identified records. The 21-22 audit, which ended in the Spring of 2023, identified similar issues regarding NSLDS enrollment reporting of some records. A corrective action plan was put in place at that time, however, a portion of the 22-23 year had already transpired, thus these additional findings in the current audit year. The errors were partly the result of reporting data challenges between the University's Anthology system, the National Student Loan Clearinghouse and NSLDS. The University also recently completed the institutional alignment of term and enrollment status definitions between the Financial Aid and the Center for Graduate and Professional Studies. Additional controls and staff training have also been implemented to identify errors and processes to correct records going forward, which will include adding NSLDS access for the Registrar. The University is continuing its review of practices and determination of any additional control needs.

A corrective action plan was put in place at that time, however, a portion of the 22-23 year had already transpired, thus these additional findings in the current audit year. The occurrence of Title IV credit balances occurs primarily with graduate program students. A review was conducted of current internal control processes and an evaluation of additional reporting within the student information system was done to assist in identifying these Title IV credit balances in a more timely manner. Title IV credit balances were monitored during the Spring 2023 terms and new procedures have been put in place for the Fall 2024 term.

To Whom it May Concern: The purpose of the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is to define corrective actions for resolving any non-conformances identified during the single audit for Fiscal Year 2023. Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2023-001 - Material Weakness in Internal Control - Reporting Assistance Listing Number: 93.498 COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through Agency: Not Applicable Award Number/Year: Not Applicable / 2023 Criteria: Non-federal entities in receipt of federal funds must comply with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.303(a), which require an entity to establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award to ensure compliance with Federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Recipients of Provider Relief Funds (PRF) payments must also comply with the reporting requirements described in the PRF terms and conditions and specified in directions issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Condition/Context: The Company did not complete the PRF reporting in accordance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidance. For the one report filed during the award year it was noted to include incorrect lost revenue totals, due to clerical errors and the exclusion of certain affiliates. In addition, the reports tested did not contain a documented review and approval of the reports prior to submission. Effect: The amounts reported to Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) were not in accordance with established U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reporting guidance. Total cumulative lost revenue should be $13,893,503. Questioned Costs: None reported. Cause: Lack of management oversight. Recommendation: We recommend that management review and update, as needed, their procedure for completion of the reporting to ensure that a review and approval of such reporting is completed and documented prior to submission. Additionally, we recommend that management revise their lost revenue totals in any future submissions. Views of Responsible Officials: Management will revise policies and update cumulative lost revenue for any future HRSA PRF Reporting Portal submissions and retain documented proof that the reports were reviewed prior to filing. In addition, revised lost revenues of $13,893,503 exceed cumulative PRF payments applied to lost revenues of $1,626,560.
