Documentation will consist of a clear and understandable workflow on City workpapers, and final submissions, evidenced by signature (ink or digital stamp), email string other generally acceptable audit trail. Additionally, as part of continuing education, CDBG staff participated in a workshop organized by our CDBG consultant this past June, 2023 to better understand the Section 3 reporting requirements. Special Reporting for Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA): Management will address the weaknesses identified in Special Reporting for Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency (FFATA) by taking the following actions: Management will review and strengthen the current process in place for identification and timely submission of projects that qualify for FFATA reporting.

Views of Responsible Officials: The City maintains internal controls to review all CDBG expenditures. These controls vary based upon expenditure type (e.g. administration, City Department subrecipients, and non-City subrecipients); however, all of these expenditure types are reviewed prior to disbursement. These controls are summarized as follows: ? Administration ?

These measures currently include the review/approval by managers/supervisors of City staff hours worked and the projects/activities completed, and review/approval of Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Orders by City staff through the City?s accounting system, all of which occur prior to disbursement. Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Orders also include a contract and an invoice or project description that lets appropriate City staff determine the eligibility of the proposed disbursement and the associated account being charged. ?

Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Orders also include an invoice or project description that lets appropriate City staff determine the eligibility of the proposed disbursement and the associated account being charged. Applicable projects are also tracked through the City?s process to solicit bids/proposals, with the scope of work reviewed during all phases of the project to ensure grant eligibility. ? Non-City Subrecipients ? Subrecipients from outside the organization are subject to a thorough reimbursement protocol that includes the following: o Checklist - Provided to all grantees outlining requirements for submitting reimbursement requests, with example/fillable exhibits to outline eligible expenditures. These exhibits require the submittal of supplemental evidence (e.g. receipts, cancelled check/bank statements, time sheets, description of services provided, client eligibility, etc.).

Paper records of these items are maintained. o Purchase Orders - Invoices are included in all submittals to the City?s accounting system. All purchase orders are reviewed/approved by City staff via accounting system. In addition to maintaining paper records, moving forward all Purchase Orders and submitted invoices for non-City subrecipients will include copies of the approved/signed exhibits further confirming staff review of such items. All other Purchase Orders will include invoices that include a signed or initialed acknowledgement by appropriate City staff to supplement reviews/approval performed via the City?s accounting system.

40 files were sampled, and 3 files were found to have late reporting. We agree with the findings and have placed an action plan to ensure this is not a repeated finding. The findings were all unique system related issues. Registrar will conduct an additional QA process to ensure that not only statuses are reported timely, but any changes to student?s status after reporting has been reviewed for accuracy. Two of the students were students that were in withdrawal status and later graduated. Our system report does (grad only file) not capture students in withdrawal status, therefore, an additional report is required to ensure the Graduated status is captured and reported to National Students Clearinghouse. One of the students was student on a leave of absence that was reported after 60 days. The leave of absence requests is recorded outside of our Student Information System. Registrar will work on enhancing the leave of absence report and ensure they are correctly reported on the enrollment submissions sent to National Student Clearinghouse. Registrar will run an additional report to review any conferrals or leave of absences and submit enrollment update if any discrepancies are found.

Corrective Action Plan for Reference Number 2022-01; Student Financial Assistance Cluster: The University hired a new Director of Financial Aid (the ?Director?) in June 2022. The University has implemented weekly reviews of R2T4s beginning in July 2022 to help eliminate late returns and accuracy issues regarding the return calculations. In August 2022, the Director of Financial Aid implemented the following corrective actions plan: ? We have created a system that requires two different staff members to review the R2T4 to ensure it is calculated accurately using the correct date of determination and amount of aid awarded/disbursed. This process also ensures that the correct term dates and any breaks are accounted for in the calculation. ? The first staff member must complete the R2T4 within 20 days of the date of determination to allow time for the second staff member to review the calculation. ? A second staff member verifies accurate processing of the R2T4 calculation prior to the funds being returned. Any return required will take place within 30 days of the date of determination to comply with University-established policy that R2T4 is to be completed within 30 days to ensure compliance with the 45-day requirement established by regulations. ? The first staff member will then double-check that return roster to ensure the correct funds and amounts were actually returned at COD. The double check on the return roster must be completed by day 37. ? Additional personnel will be trained to assist with the R2T4 process in the event of turnover and/or absence. ? The Director of Financial Aid will perform monthly quality assurance checks to see that the policies and procedures are followed. The Director of Financial Aid and both employees that are currently processing R2T4 will review the Self-Study Guide: Return of Title IV Funds by October 31, 2022. They will also view the 2022-2023 R2T4 for Clock-Hour Program Learning Track offered by the Department of Education by November 15, 2022.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The College?s 2021 Year 2 Annual HEERF-Student Aid report table (Page 3 Table 8a Row 2) was corrected March 24, 2023 and in agreement with Delaware Tech?s student ledger detail (Banner student accounting system extract) when the federal reporting system was open for limited system data entry time.
