2024-001 – Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) (Significant Deficiency) Criteria: According to 2 CFR 200.210(b), a recipient of Federal awards is required to prepare a SEFA for the period covered by the entity’s financial statement which must include the total Federal awards expended. In addition, 2 CFR 200.303 requires non-Federal entities to, among other things, establish, document, and maintain effective internal control over Federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal awards in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal awards. Effective internal controls should include procedures to ensure expenditures are properly reported on the SEFA. In addition to providing an accurate SEFA, an organization must also be able to demonstrate that it has a system of internal control that supports the preparation of the SEFA. Condition: The University did not have an adequate process in place to prepare and review its SEFA. Cause: The University’s internal control process for preparing the SEFA did not include review and approval of the SEFA prior to providing it to the auditor. Effect: Failure to accurately report federal expenditures on the SEFA could result in noncompliance with federal regulations. Recommendation: We recommend the University establish, document, and maintain effective internal controls over the preparation of the SEFA. At a minimum, an organization should be able to show documentation that the SEFA was reviewed and approved by an individual who was not directly involved with the initial preparation of the SEFA. The review process should include checking both the reported expenditures of federal awards and the assistance listing numbers reported for each grant program. Action Taken: Management has put in place the following procedures: We will establish, document and maintain effective internal control over Federal awards by performing reconciliation of federal funds at the end of each trimester. The account reconciled will be listed on the SEFA. The Director of Financial Aid will be responsible for preparing the SEFA. It will be reviewed and re-reconciled by the Business Systems Analyst and the FA Asst. Director. Reports used to reconcile come from our Sonis system and are the Award Summary Detail and the Charges and Credits reports. Responsible Party and contact information: Valerie Souza, FA Business Systems Analyst and Lynda Swanson, Asst. Director of Financial Aid. Expected Date of Correction: At the end of each trimester. Full completion of processes will be at the end of our fiscal year/calendar year when audit preparation begins.

Finding 2024-002: Review of Compliance Matrices and Narratives The single audit report included the following recommendation: We recommend that Amtrak establishes a more defined timeline for the events that would trigger the update and review of the compliance matrices and compliance narrative, which could include execution of any new federal awards or amendments to existing federal awards. Additionally, Amtrak should establish a process where the modifications to the provisions are assessed for materiality/applicability and include documentation of the respective conclusions as part of the review process. Management Response/Status of Action Plans: Amtrak acknowledges the need to augment process documentation around the controls over the preparation and updates to the compliance matrices. The company is in the process of updating these controls now and will incorporate the identified findings in developing more robust controls. The company specifically notes the need to add more documentation on considerations for what provisions are updated in the compliance matrices and the evidence of review. The review procedures and controls are being enhanced to include a checklist to improve the review. This checklist will be completed by both the compliance matrix creator (upon creation) and the compliance matrix reviewer/approver (upon review and final approval). The contact for this item is Lucia Butts, AVP Funding and Grants and Meghan Histand, Director of Discretionary Grants. Amtrak anticipates fully remediating this finding by September 2025.

Finding #2024-003 – Material Weakness and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: U. S.

Committee for Refugees and Immigrants: 10/01/23 – 09/30/24, 2402VARVMG-00. Condition and context: During our testing of 40 transactions reported as matching grant costs, we identified two exceptions totaling $369 with lack of documentation of fair value of in-kind donations. Additionally, the YMCA did not meet its match requirement by approximately $281,000. Recommendation: Provide additional training and emphasize adherence to established policies and procedures to ensure maintenance of documentation for valuation, documentation and monitoring of matching grant funds. Management’s response: Management agrees with the finding. Continued rapid growth in these programs necessitated significantly greater match requirements, and our internal control procedures around match required expansion. Unfortunately, our organization was not able to keep up with the rate at which these requirements grew. We understand the importance of meeting match obligations and have strengthened procedures in this area to detect and prevent future findings. As we move forward with these programs on a smaller scale, we will ensure that those grants accepted have match levels and requirements that are manageable for our organization.

Furthermore, ESSER guidelines permitted allowable expenditures retroactive to 2020, and the adjustment was made in accordance with those provisions.

The noted disbursement was reported 5 calendar days late. Caltech confirmed it had additional instances of late reporting beyond the audit selection. To address this finding, Caltech created a Disbursement Checklist to ensure that all steps in the process are followed, including generating common record files of disbursement information and transmitting those files to COD the same day as the funds are disbursed to the student accounts. The checklist was created in May 2025. Malina Chang, Director, Financial Aid Office, is responsible for this corrective action plan. Caltech also performs Pell monthly reconciliations to capture discrepancies between internal information and that which is reported by COD. Any discrepancies are investigated via this monthly reconciliation process, and errors are corrected. In addition, Caltech requests Pell funds from the Department of Education on a quarterly basis (quarterly EDCAPS draws), significantly reducing the risk of the Institute needing to return funds.
