This finding relates to the preparation of the SEFA for the disclosure of the loan balances under the Company?s Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing (RRIF) loan. In the initial version of the SEFA, Amtrak did not reduce the audit period loan balance by the FY21 loan repayment. An updated version of the SEFA corrected the balance presented. The presentation on the SEFA of the balance of the RRIF loan has specific federal regulation requirements. Amtrak will review and update its SEFA Preparation Guide to ensure full compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 specifically for presentation of the RRIF loan balance. Amtrak will also consider providing training to key grants management personnel on an annual basis to keep them up to date with federal regulations.

Finding No. 2022-001 - Internal Controls over Student Financial Assistance Special Tests and Provisions Condition: During the compliance testing, we noted the following exceptions: ? During the compliance testing of ?Special Tests and Provisions ? Return of Funds? we noted that one (1) student calculation used the incorrect institutional charges in the calculation and one (1) students funds were not sent back to the Department of Education within the required 45 day time frame. ? During the audit of the Federal Student Assistance Cluster we noted one (1) instance where the income tax reported on the Institutional Information Record (ISIR) did not match the information on the student?s income tax transcript. Plan: The Financial Aid Office has revised the worksheet used for Return of Funds calculation to include separate lines for tuition, fees, and books instead of only the aggregate total. The Financial Aid Specialist is training to perform the Return of Funds calculations. Going forward, when the Specialist performs the calculations, the files subsequently will be reviewed by the Director of Institutional Compliance and Research. When the Director of Institutional Compliance and Research reviews the R2T4 files for accuracy, she will also pull up the student?s file in COD to verify the amount has been transmitted. The Director will print the page for the R2T4 binder. This way the Director will quickly be able to see if a file has not been transmitted to COD. The Financial Aid Office staff has been retrained on separating tax information when a student (or parent) filed jointly and is now divorced, which was the case in the noted error. The staff will now leave the percentage to all decimal places in the calculator before multiplying it by the taxes paid. This will remove the chance for error due to rounding. Anticipated Date of Completion: Immediately upon learning of the deficiency. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Amy Epplin, Director of Institutional Compliance & Research

Management?s Response The UPR concurs with this finding. To address the situation and take corrective actions, a meeting was held at the Vice Presidency for Academic Affairs and Research on March 15, 2023 with registrars of the eleven (11) units of the UPR System. The following actions were proposed as corrective actions: ? Registrars were instructed to attend a Federal Student Aid workshop on March 28, 2023, on Loan Servicing, Enrollment Reporting, and the National Student Loan System. ? Professors will be oriented on the importance of taking and reporting attendance timely. ? All campuses must use the NEXT System (student data platform developed internally) to report partial and total withdrawals, as well as the attendance report. (We noted that the units that are using NEXT System did not have findings). For the five students of RUM and RCM the UPR was unable to provide information from NSLDS; the search on the website displayed ?Search returned 0 students. No matching students records found?. On December 9, 2022 RUM contacted NSLDS Customer Service Center by e-mail. They later received an e-mail informing the case was closed without further explanations. Also, NSLDS issued electronic announcements confirming problems with the implementation of their new website. On the other hand, RUM was able to provide evidence to auditors that they reported the status change of all students to the Clearing House on time.

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: We agree with the auditor?s findings and recognize that some customers did received funding beyond the June 15, 2021 deadline. BWP calculated the daily average arrears for each customer with 60 plus days arrears during the program pandemic period and cross referenced it with the actual past due balances as of June 15, 2021 to ensure no arrears prior to March 4, 2020 were included. Prior to the pandemic, BWP did not have sufficient arrearage data to easily calculate the credits, hence BWP relied on a data search methodology that estimated qualified customer balances to apply funds. Since the pandemic, BWP has changed its reporting on customer arrearages. BWP will run a daily aging report that will be used to calculate customer arrearages incurred during a specific period. Before credits are authorized, BWP Customer Service will manually spot-check the data set to verify accuracy. With regards to review of Federal grants awarded, BWP holds a monthly meeting with key personnel and an outside grants administrator to get status updates of pursued and/or awarded grants, including any federally funded grants. The Financial Accounting Manager-BWP and Principal Utility Accounting Analyst now attend this meeting. The Principal Utility Accounting Analyst will be responsible for timely communication of all key Federal grants data to City Finance and will prepare an annual schedule for all grant funding received/spent through the general ledger. In addition, BWP?s Legislative Analyst and BWP Finance staff will cross check records to timely reconcile grant reporting/activity.

Management recognizes that Per Title 2, U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 (2 CRF 200), Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Award, (Subpart D, Section 200.303), the nonfederal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Under the terms and conditions of the award, Provider Relief Funds (PRF) is subject to 45 CFR section 75.302 (Financial management and standards for financial management systems). The PRF program requires special reporting through the Provider Relief Fund Reporting Portal that contains key line items containing critical information, which includes the Calculation of Lost Revenues Attributable to Coronavirus. In all instances Bon Secours Mercy Health (BSMH) has adequate lost revenue to be eligible for PRF funding and has maintained a correct list of the assigned lost revenue amounts; the Cares Act portal was not updated correctly to incorporate certain lost revenue amounts. As recommended, Management will employ additional review steps to ensure that the portal tracking of lost revenues is properly stated going forward.
