Higher Horizons will ensure the segregation of duties in the Fiscal Department at all times to ensure business continuity. The newly developed procedure will address continuing business operations in the event of disasters and other high impact scenarios (i.e. staff transitions, emergency operations, etc.) Higher Horizons will refine and develop systems and fiscal procedures to ensure that when transitions of Finance Department staff occur, that all responsibilities are assigned to another individual. Fiscal operational procedures will reflect personnel assigned for tasks, authorizing responsibility, and approvals. Reconciling of accounts and review of all reconciliations and adjusting journal entries will be completed by someone other than the preparer.

Two students were enrolled in Law Masters degree programs and were reported as less than full-time although should have been full time. Additionally, one GSEC Masters student was reported correctly on the program level enrollment reporting as withdrawn on March 15, 2022, however, the campus level reporting included an incorrect status of less than half time and status date of March 16, 2022 before later being corrected to withdrawn status date of March 15, 2022. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Corrective Action Plan Management agrees with the finding, and is committed to strengthening its procedures to avoid similar issues in the future. The College has reconfirmed the full and part time definitions for Law Masters students, and corrected the underlying technical issue that had interfered with the reporting of correct enrollment statuses for Law Master's students. The correction of the enrollment status for the two Law Masters students in NSLDS is in process. The College has also updated the procedures and documentation for enrollment reporting of GSEC Masters students to ensure the scenario identified is handled correctly and consistently in the future. The College has corrected this student's program level withdrawal date in NSLDS. Lewis & Clark College Andrea Dooley Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Operations

Individual(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Wanda Matthews, CFO and Ellen Krajewski, CEO. Corrective Action Planned: In order to comply with the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 45 CFR 75.309(a), and 45 CFR 75.305(b)(l), and ensure that the timing and amount of advance payments are as close as is administratively feasible to the actual disbursements by the organization for direct program or project costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs, the following process has been established for internal quality control: ? Drawdowns for salary expenses will be completed bi-weekly one week after the second week payroll. Drawdowns for other expenses will be completed at the end of every month for expenses that are documented as paid. This will help to ensure that grant funds expended prior to completing a drawdown in the PMS system. ? The request for disbursement from PMS will be submitted to the CEO with all corresponding backup that includes an earnings summary, documented and approved work hours report, expanded general ledger for other than salary expenses, the statement of revenue and expenditures for each grant, the worksheets that are completed for grant expenditure tracking, and a review checklist for completion by the CEO that includes the following requirements: o Are expenses related to the current budget period? o Is the drawdown amount in line with the expenses? o Is the drawdown amount for expenses that have been paid? o Are the expenses eligible for this grant? o Does the General Ledger and PMS system balances match? o Does supporting documentation provided support the expenses included in drawdown request? o At the end of the month, the statement of revenue and expenditures will be run for each grant. An adjusting entry will be completed to recognize grant revenue based on the verified expenses for each grant and recorded in the adjusting entry journal. o The adjusting entry journal is presented to the CEO for approval along with all supporting documentation for review and approval. Anticipated Completion Date: The process was started immediately upon notification of the finding. An updated Policy and Procedure will be submitted to the Board of Directors at the October 24, 2022 meeting.

Action Taken: The Company has procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that salaries and wages are accurate. The Company has managed several federal award programs and has a billing tracking system already implemented in ADP. When implementing this new program with a different department, it was identified that three staff were not following the payroll billing policies already put in place. The Company has notified the staff and effective September 1, 2023, the department has started tracking their time directly in ADP. Management will review this billing as part of draw submissions to confirm the process is being followed.

Incorrect and Untimely Return of Title IV (R2T4) Funds Planned Corrective Action: The Financial Aid Office reviewed the new modular regulations and guidance again as it was identified that exemption(s) were missed in the initial review. The team updated the 2021 NASFAA R2T4 decision tree with notes breaking down the complexity of the new modular regulations and how they apply to our modules/programs. The unofficial withdrawal list for the academic year was re-requested from the registrar?s office and reviewed. Students that met exemption were awarded funds back, recalculated if needed, and processed. Although the Financial Aid Office did implement changes on identifying unofficial withdraws (students were identified) from the prior year finding, the complexity of the modular regulations impacted the finding for 2022. A review of each student?s module will be performed (Executive Director of Financial Aid / Lead Director) and then reviewed and processed by staff member (Financial Aid Director).
