TIMELY BANK RECONCILIATIONS: Bank statements were not being reconciled in a timely manner sometimes it was several months later that the statements were reviewed. We will hire an outside bookkeeper to facilitate bank reconciliations, which was completed at the beginning of FY23. We will also grant access for bookkeeper to Rescue, Inc.'s online bank statements. This eliminates the extra step of the bookkeeper requesting statements as they can log into the bank account and pull the statements themselves when they are ready to work on them. This was also completed in June 2023. YEAR-END ACCRUALS AND ADJUSTING ENTRIES: Year-end adjustments were not made in the prior year. This was a result of the previous auditor not completing them in a timely manner. Due to deadlines, the FY22 audit was started before the FY21 audit was completed. We will formulate a comprehensive checklist for year-end activities to ensure all accruals and adjustments are made properly. QUARTERLY TRIAL BALANCE REVIEW: Balances were not accurate as the auditor had to make many audit adjusting entries. We will schedule quarterly trial balance reviews to identify any discrepancies or anomalies. We will also document findings from the trial balance reviews and develop an action plan to address identified issues. DEPRECIATION POLICIES AND SCHEDULE: Purchased items that met capital policy guidelines were expensed. We will implement a consistent monthly schedule for maintaining and recording depreciation. We will also set up a recurring entry in QuickBooks so that the depreciation entry is made automatically monthly. The depreciation schedule will be updated promptly whenever new assets are acquired. MONTHLY ENTRIES FOR INVESTMENTS, PREPAID EXPENSES, AND DEFERRED REVENUE: Entries for these financial items were not done properly and at best, were done quarterly. We will develop clear policies for entering investment activity, prepaid expense adjustments, and deferred revenue adjustments. Also, any entries related to these accounts will be done monthly to ensure timely reflection in the financial statements.

2022-003 Student Financial Assistance Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend reviewing the components of the enrollment roster file to ensure the correct effective date is reported correctly for both the "Campus Level" and "Program Level". Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: In August 2021, the College hired a new Registrar who implemented changes to National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) reporting. These changes have been documented and include: 1) Review of error files received from the NSC related to degree verification. Update of student records based upon findings on error file. 2) Using additional report, diploma list, to manually check that graduating students are correctly reported to the NSC. 3) Strict adherence to deadlines contained in the College catalog regarding degree conferrals. 4) Increased communication between departments when student status changes occur between reporting dates. This response is the same as in the FY 2020-21 audit, to be completed by 6/30/22, the end of this audited period. While there were still issues found during the audit, the error rate decreased from 38.7% to 7.5% during FY 2021-22. Processes are still being refined to reduce the errors further.

Corrective Action Plan: The Registrar?s Office revised its monthly processes and procedures guide to include better monitoring of any potential errors with NSLDS reporting. The Registrar submits an enrollment report on the 15th day of every month to the Clearinghouse. Once an email is received from the Clearinghouse allowing the Registrar to view any errors on the website, the Registrar will check the NSLDS portion of the website to see if any corrections are necessary. These procedures were followed in regard to the finding reported. The College is not aware of why the student?s record was not found within the NSDLS website however, it will be more diligent in its monitoring of this activity going forward.

Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Jeff Scaccia, CPA (Vice President for Finance and Administration) Libby Shull, CPA (Controller) April Baur, (Director of Student Financial Aid) For 1 of 2 students tested, the student was in V5 tracking group, his Identity/Statement of Educational Purpose form was signed and received as of 11/17/21 which is after first title IV disbursement. Per IFAP verification guide. "No disbursements of Title IV aid may be made until the V5 verification is satisfactorily completed." Corrective Action Plan: The College acknowledges institutions are required to verify applications selected by the Central Processing System for students who will receive or have received need based/subsidized student financial assistance. As permitted in federal regulations (34 CFR 668.54(b)), verification is not required for students who are only eligible for unsubsidized student financial assistance. Students in this situation are noted as ?Selected, not verified? to COD. At Presbyterian College, graduate and professional students only receive unsubsidized federal financial assistance, so only those selected in the ?V4? and ?V5? verification groups are required to complete the verification requirements of these groups. The Office of Financial Aid has experienced significant turnover in its staffing during fiscal years June 30, 2021 and 2022. This included employing two different Directors, the second of which vacated the position in June 2022. The staffing of the Financial Aid Office has since stabilized and the new Director has implemented procedures for the 2023-2024 academic year through Banner (software) setup that prevents disbursement of federal aid with any outstanding fund or non-fund requirements. Any student with V1, V4, or V5 set on the ISIR will automatically populate outstanding requirements. Aid will not disburse until those are fully satisfied. Anticipated Completion Date: March 1, 2023

Finding #2022-005 ? Education Stabilization Fund ? ESSER I and ESSER II #84.425D (Prior Year Finding #2021-007) Federal Grantor ? U.S. Department of Education Pass-through Award Numbers ? 2021-224904-DPI-ESSERF-160 and 2022-224904-DPI-ESSERFII-163 Pass-through Entity ? Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Condition: There were two Education Stabilization Fund construction projects performed by contractors. ESSER I grant expenditures for the project totaled $10,445 and ESSER II grant expenditures for the project totaled $21,238. There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contract and certified payrolls were not received while construction was occurring. Labor costs for the ESSER I project totaled $2,691. Labor costs for the ESSER II project totaled $2,800. Criteria: Wage rate requirements apply to the Education Stabilization Fund when laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors work on construction contacts 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 for contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Cause: The District was not aware that wage rate requirements applied to the construction project until after it was completed. Effect: Potential reimbursement for costs that did not follow the prevailing wage rate requirements. Recommendation: Establish controls to comply with prevailing wage rate requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund. Response: The District is working with each contractor and their attorneys to determine the amount of backpay owed to employees to ensure prevailing wage rates are paid. Once the District became aware of this requirement, all construction contracts in excess of $2,000 funded with federal dollars a prevailing wage rate clause in the request for bid and contract. Certified payrolls are being receiving on all current applicable projects. Contact Person: Tracy Stagman Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2023

Isabella Graham Hart School of Nursing (the School) recognizes that our Student Information System (SIS) used to monitor and manage the credit balances for students is limited in its capabilities. We are in process of implementing a new SIS that has ability to perform the necessary requirements to ensure we are processing any credit balance within the required time permitted. The School has implemented a weekly process of monitoring credit balances through the utilization of a Credit report, along with issuing payments if needed on a weekly basis to students. Implementation of the new SIS in expected to be completed in 2024 and in the interim have begun a weekly manual monitoring process.

Contracts charged for expenses outside of the period of performance have been credited for ineligible expenses. Share's Director of Finance, Christopher Brox will provide training to accounting staff responsible for expense entry, expense review and approval, and invoicing by June 30, 2023 that include the following topics: - Allowability of expenses based on both contract criteria and the period of performance. - key identifiers that could flag an exception in allowability based on period of performance, and how to catch this in the review of expenses. - General ledger transactions that require further review for period of performance allowability during monthly review of expenses prior to preparing invoices. This training will highlight this being a specific area of focus for review during periods when a contract terms and a new contract starts. This training will happen with all new accounting staff responsible for expense entry and review and will be incorporated as refresher trainings if contract and grant administrator expense reviews identify this as being a continued issue by staff performing expense data entry.

The South Carolina Department of Social Services respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS?FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT U. S. Department of Health and Human Services 2022-018 Adoption Assistance, CCDF Cluster - Assistance Listing Nos.: 93.659, 93.575, and 93.596 Recommendation: We recommend that the Department regularly review their public assistance cost allocation plan and submit amendments for approval as necessary. Additionally, we recommend consolidating the support documentation for bases with multiple percentages. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management agrees with the finding. The change involved allocation based on newly-tracked case management time statistics instead of benefit payment statistics. The new time statistics were available for the first time in the quarter tested, and management considers the new method to be preferable to that previously used. Per CFR 45, Part 95, Subpart E, Section 95.515, the Department can implement changes to its cost allocation beginning with the effective date of its request for approval to do so; it is not required to receive the approval first. Management did submit a request for approval of this change with Cost Allocation Services, but the request was effective as of the beginning of the following quarter, thus did not include the quarter in question. The department will recompute the cost allocation for the quarter in which the exception occurred using the previous allocation method and will record an adjustment to correct the amounts allocated. The clerical error referenced would not have occurred had the various base calculation worksheets been integrated with one another as appropriate and with the allocation calculation worksheets. We will link these worksheets beginning with those used in the allocation for the quarter ending March 31, 2023. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: David O?Kelly, Controller Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2023
