2022-002 Student Financial Assistance Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University review the procedures surrounding PELL and TEACH awarding to ensure the proper cost of attendance is used so that amounts awarded do not exceed calculated financial need and awards are proper. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The University returned the ineligible Pell and Teach funds to ED. The University has implemented new processes, which include, but are not limited to, a second review of all student packages for the aid year. Prior to the start of each semester, the student package will be reviewed for subsequent ISIRS, grade level, and enrollment statuses, to ensure the Pell and Direct Loan eligibility is awarded correctly. Prior to awarding TEACH grants, the student package will be checked for the ATS (agreement to serve) and counseling. For continuing students, we will check the cumulative GPA from the prior year to ensure students are meeting the cumulative GPA of 3.25 to receive TEACH for the subsequent award year. Additionally, we have added new TEACH aid components to our student information system (SIS) to include the ATS (agreement to serve) and counseling. Student(s) will not receive any TEACH grant until they have met all three requirements. Lastly, campus based funds will be reviewed once a semester for need, and eligibility requirements. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Lisa Stone, Director of Financial aid, Sean Corcoran, Associate Director of Financial Aid and Joyce Hatch, Financial Aid advisor.

2022-001 Student Financial Assistance Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University reevaluate its procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes and other enrollment information to NSLDS to ensure timely and accurate reporting. We also recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure all errors are corrected with the appropriate timeframe 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 process described in the corrective action plan in response to 2021-001 was developed and implemented in August of 2022. This was after the close of FY22. Therefore, the process had no bearing on the FY22 SFA audit. We believe the effects of the new process will be reflected in the FY23 SFA audit. To recap the corrective action plan from 2021-001: Training with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) online reporting system was implemented. A consequence of the training was that the Associate Director of Institutional Research (ADIR) acquired the necessary knowledge of how to manually change program enrollment dates in the NSC online system to correspond to the University?s internal records. The ADIR continues to adhere to the master calendar for reporting to ensure timeliness. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Lisa Stone, Director of Financial Aid, Eric Tompkins, Associate Director of Institutional Research and Jeff Phillips, AVP of Institutional Effectiveness.

Menorah Park Center for Senior Living CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN YEAR ENDED December 31, 2022 Identifying Number: Finding Number 2022-001 Finding: Menorah Park could not provide invoice support for two charges that were allocated to the major federal program selected for testing.

We were in beginning our conversion from paper files to fully paperless files. In the new SAGE process, every expense inside our AP system requires document backup. This back up is attached within the system. This will prevent document retrieval errors in the future.

Finding ? Special Tests and Provisions: Enrollment Reporting ? Federal Direct Student Loan Program, Assistance Listing Number 84.268; June 30, 2022 Award Year; U.S. Department of Education Criteria or Specific Requirement Enrollment information, including the effective date of separation from the institution, must be accurately reported within 30 days whenever attendance changes for a student, unless a roster will be submitted within 60 days. The changes include reductions or increases in attendance levels, withdrawals, graduations, and approved leaves-of absence.

This was not a statistically valid sample. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions The School concurs with the finding. The School intends to report student status changes at year end.

Finding #2022-002 ? Wage Rate Requirements Education Stabilization Fund ? ESSER II (#84.425D) and ESSER III (#84.425U) Federal Grantor ? U.S. Department of Education Pass-through Award Number ? 2022-565100-DPI-ESSERFII-163 and 2022-565100-DPI-ESSERFIII-165 Pass-through Entity ? Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Condition: There was one Education Stabilization Fund construction project performed by a contractor. Grant expenditures for the projects totaled $996,123. (ESSER II - $554,294 and ESSER III $441,829). A prevailing wage clause was not included in the contracts as required. However, certified payrolls reports were received to ensure the contractors were paying prevailing wage rates. Criteria: Wage rate requirements apply to the Education Stabilization Fund when laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors work on construction contracts more than $2,000. Laborers must be paid wages not less than those established for the locality of the project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL). Nonfederal entities shall include in their contracts subject to wage rate requirements a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations. This includes a requirement of the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Cause: The District was not aware that the wage requirement applied to these construction projects during the bid process. After they became aware and before construction began they requested certified payrolls during construction to verify prevailing wages were paid. Effect: Potential for a contractor to not pay prevailing wage rates if that language was not in the agreed upon contract. Context: The air handling construction project began in January of 2022 but was bid out the prior year before the District was aware of the prevailing wage requirement. After becoming aware of the requirement, they verified the prevailing wage rate was being paid during construction of the project. Recommendation: Establish controls to comply with wage rate requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund during the bid and contract process of all projects. Response: The District became aware of wage rate requirements after finishing the bidding process for the project. Before construction began the prevailing wage rate was verified to be paid and was verified through certified payrolls by the District. Before bidding any future construction projects more than $2,000, the request for bid and contract will include a prevailing wage rate clause. Certified payrolls will continue to be received for any such contracts. Contact Person: Kathy Stoltz Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2023

Corrective Action Plan Audit Finding Reference: 2022-002 Planned Corrective Action: In response to audit finding 2022-002, the current policy requires a master promissory note (MPN) to be stored in a locked, fireproof safe. We acknowledge there may have been gaps in internal controls during the 1970s and 1980s resulting in the missing MPN. Since 2005, MPNs are electronically signed and maintained by ECSI, our third-party servicer. During 2022, Trinity submitted 154 loans to the Department of Education (DOE) for assignment. While the University did not have an MPN for nine of these loans, the DOE accepted all but one loan based on additional documentation provided in lieu of an MPN. To determine potential future exposure, the University reviewed paper files for the 25 borrowers with loans disbursed prior to 2005 and found only three additional borrowers with a missing MPN. If the University were required to purchase these loans from the DOE, the estimated purchase amount would be less than $30,000.
