Finding: The Employment Security Department did not have adequate internal controls over and did not comply with federal requirements to conduct case reviews for the Benefit Accuracy Measurement program of the Unemployment Insurance program in a timely manner. Questioned Costs: Assistance Listing # 17.225 17.225 COVID-19 Amount $0 Status: Corrective action in progress Corrective Action: Historically, the Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) unit has been challenged to maintain full levels of staffing. Staff turnover, long training requirements, and unique skill sets make these positions difficult to maintain. During the prior audit period, the Department was in a hiring freeze for Unemployment Insurance administrative funding, furthering the challenge to fully staff the unit and meet program requirements. The hiring freeze was lifted in April 2023 and the unit began filling vacant positions in May 2023. Due to the lengthy training timelines for new positions, the Department anticipated the unit would not meet federally mandated performance measures for case reviews for state fiscal year 2023. The Department continues to partner and frequently communicate with the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Regional Offices to discuss staffing and training models. The Quality Assurance Manager and the Case Review Supervisor are committed to routinely monitor caseload, workload, and the overall assurance of meeting the BAM operations performance goals and measures as set forth by USDOL. The conditions noted in this finding were previously reported in findings 2022-006, 2021-005, and 2020-011. Completion Date: Estimated March 2025 Agency Contact: Jay Summers External Audit Manager PO Box 9046 Olympia, WA 98507-9046 (360) 529-6718 Joshua.Summers@esd.wa.gov

Management Views and Corrective Action Plan Year Ending December 31, 2023 Finding 2023-002 - Untimely Return of Title IV Requirements Grantor: U.S. Department of Education Program: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing#: 84.268, 84.063 Award Titles: Federal Direct Student Loan Program, Federal Pell Grant Program Award Years: 7/2022 – 6/2024 Management agrees with the finding and proposes the following corrective action plan: Corrective Action Plan The College hired two new financial aid employees during the Fall 2023 semester. These employees will be responsible for monitoring student withdrawals and performing return of title IV fund calculations on a weekly basis to ensure all refunds transactions are processed timely and accurately. Additional training will be provided by Riley Niemand, Financial Aid Manager to ensure compliance with R2T4 regulations.

Management Views and Corrective Action Plan Year Ending December 31, 2023 Finding 2023-001 - Inappropriate Amounts Included in Loan Notification Letters (Significant Deficiency) Grantor: U.S. Department of Education Program: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing #: 84.268 Award Title: Federal Direct Loan Program Award Years: 7/2022 – 6/2024 Management agrees with the finding and proposes the following corrective action plan: Corrective Action Plan The first instance where disbursement dates and amounts were not included in the communication because the system incorrectly captured the student’s name rather than the date and amount of disbursements was caused by a system update. When PeopleSoft system updates are installed, they sometimes affect the data tables where our notification letters pull from. In this instance an update changed a table referenced in the query used to compile loan notification letters. The letter for this student was sent out before the query could be updated to correct for this change. Because of this issue, management has decided to have all loan notification letters compiled manually, effective January 2024, until a consultant can be brought in to help address the issue. Once the system configuration is corrected, we will return to using automated letters, but will continue to review a sample of loan notification letters each semester as an additional control. The second instance where loan disbursement letters were not sent due to the system not being updated to reflect the new academic was the result of a training issue. During 2023, the College made system changes to address prior year audit findings. These changes were made during the 2022-23 academic year and when the 2023-24 academic year started the system settings were not updated. The financial aid staff responsible for setting up the new academic year in the system will receive additional system setup training to ensure this type of issue does not happen in future academic years. Timing Starting in May 2024, Riley Niemand, Financial Aid Manager will work with a consultant to correct the automated loan notification letter process and to implement a process to review loan notification letters after a system update. This process will be completed by August 31, 2024. In May 2024, Chris Reitz, Controller, will also implement a financial aid review process to ensure loan notifications are completely, accurately, and timely sent to the student and/or parent each semester. System setup training to individuals involved in the process of setting up the new academic year in the system will be completed by Chris Reitz and Riley Niemand in May 2024. Sincerely, S. Christopher Reitz Director of Financial Services and Controller creitz@ensign.edu 801-524-8109
