2022-002: FOL and Pell Reporting Management Views and Opinion The University of Miami acknowledges that the disbursements as reflected on the individual student account were different by one day from the date reported to COD (Common Origination and Disbursement system). This error occurred due to the timing of scheduled jobs to run financial aid disbursement. The file process to disburse jobs ran late at night prior to midnight, but the job to post the disbursed aid ran after midnight and therefore showed a day later than reflected on the financial aid system. Corrective Action Plan In mid-August 2022, the University changed the evening job schedule to ensure that Federal financial aid will be both disbursed from the-financial aid system and posted to the Student Account on the same calendar day. This evening schedule job change will resolve this situation moving forward. Timeline for Action Plan The underlying issue was already corrected in August 2022. Responsible Individuals Daniel T.

2022-001 Enrollment Reporting Management Views and Opinion Graduation Status Change UM management agrees that I out of 40 students had graduated but whose graduation status change was not reported at the campus or program level. While this student's graduation status change was not reported at the campus or program level, the student's record was reported as withdrawn within the allotted 60 days and therefore NSLDS was aware student was no longer enrolled. Enrollment Status Change UM management agrees that 14 out of 40 students' program level withdrawal date did not match their campus level withdrawal date. While all the students' withdrawal statuses were reported within the NSDLS guidelines and the final day of the Fall 2021 semester was used for their campus level withdrawal date, the first day of the Spring 2022 semester was incorrectly used for the program level withdrawal date. Corrective Action Plan Graduation Status Change Management will expand on the current controls in place by adding a review process for those student accounts that require manual status changes.

2022-005 Reporting Management Views and Opinion UM management agrees that the PRF Period 1 reporting submission was subsequently revised to remove $14,854,235 of Other Provider Relief Fund Expenses. The Other Provider Relief Fund Expenses removed from the Period 1 submission were allowable. However, given the dynamic reporting guidance and best practices circulated subsequent to the Period 1 reporting submission, it was determined by management to utilize lost revenues to support the PRF funding rather than expenses incurred. Corrective Action Plan UM management believes this to be an isolated incident due to the novel COVID-19 virus. While management will work to avoid the need for revised reporting submissions, management will continue to ensure the reports align with the latest guidance and best practices. Timeline for Action Plan UM management identified the need for a revised report and has already completed the revised submission.

2022-004 Reporting Management Views and Corrective Action Plan Quarterly Report Posting There was minimal reporting guidance available during the initial HEERF I disbursement period. Although there are no more funds to report, UM management will ensure to follow the guidelines of reporting, and all required content is timely posted on the UM website. Quarterly Report Submission While the submission to the Department of the Education was on time, the posting on the website was slightly delayed for calendar quarters ended June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021. Although funds have been fully disbursed, UM management will complete future required reports with ample time to allow the website team to post the required content prior to the deadline. Additionally, UM management will confirm posting took place by the deadline for tracking and assurance purposes. Quarterly Report Data Based on input from financial aid, the differences are immaterial and could be due to appeals granted after publication. The quarter report ended June 30, 2021, posted on the UM website, has a percentage error of 2.9% in the total amount distributed to students. The quarter report that ended December 31, 2021, posted on the UM website, has a percentage error of 0.2% in the total amount distributed and 0.9% in the total number of eligible students. Although funds have been fully disbursed, UM management will ensure compliance with reporting guidelines, and we will update the website if appeals have been granted after the reporting deadline.

The Department of Education did not meet the maintenance of effort provisions for fiscal year 2022 for elementary and secondary education. Although the state?s overall funding increased for education its proportional level relative to Oregon?s overall spending declined. The department is reliant on the legislative budget process. The department was in contact with the federal awarding agency about the maintenance of effort issue. The department submitted a waiver request to the U.S. Department of Education dated March 29, 2023. According to department management, budget changes and obtaining a clearer understanding of the other fund amount delayed the calculation for maintenance of effort. If the waiver is not approved, the department may be asked to return some of the funds. The total federal expenditures for the Education Stabilization Fund program for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 were $426 million. We recommend department management continue to actively track whether it will meet the maintenance of effort requirement and work with the federal awarding agency. MANAGEMENT RESPONSE: We agree with this recommendation. The Department of Education agrees with this finding; however, context is critical to understand this requirement. The Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements in The ARP ESSER III legislation are unique. The purpose of the requirement is to ensure that states are not moving the federal pandemic funds in to replace state funding and then leaving districts with a more substantial ?fiscal cliff? when the pandemic funds recede. ODE administers state funding to Oregon districts, but the levels and formulas governing the distribution of the funds are determined by the Oregon Legislature and not ODE. State School and the Student Success Act?s Student Investment Account funding and other funding corrections are via complex statutory formulas intended to ensure equity of funding across the state. ODE has worked very closely with our USED partners regarding the delay in our access to data and while preparing the Maintenance of Effort waiver request to USED. While ODE acknowledges the state did not meet MOE, ODE has made every good faith effort within in its power and authorities to communicate the reasons for lack of compliance to USED and timely applied for a waiver. ODE, along with other SEAs, now has a deeper understanding of the funding and methodology requirements of MOE under ARP ESSER and will be able to assess compliance for 2023 much more quickly, but only after the final 2023 data is completed. Since that data completion will not be until January 2024, ODE will likely still be contemplating whether or not to pursue an MOE waiver with USED early in 2024. ODE is committed to continue to work closely with our USED partners to achieve compliance or appropriately request a waiver.

ESG-CV funds should be used to supplement, not replace those funds. We determined the department was not monitoring its subrecipients for compliance with level of effort requirements during our review. Documentation was not available for review, and we were unable to determine the department?s compliance with this requirement. As a result, local governments could be using program funds to replace their funding allocated to street outreach and emergency shelter services. We recommend department management develop procedures to ensure compliance with federal requirements for level of effort and maintain documentation. MANAGEMENT RESPONSE: We agree with this recommendation. Level of Effort monitoring is part of program monitoring for State FY23 which is on track to be completed for all ESG recipients. OHCS is in the process of designing a self-certification form for subrecipients to acknowledge and agree to the compliance requirements in which funds may not be used to replace funds the local government provided for street outreach and emergency shelter services.

The finding was due to a human error. The Registrar?s Office failed to notify the Finance Division and Financial Aid Division of the student enrollment cancellation. These kinds of human errors will be prevented with the following procedure established by the university: Beginning with academic year 2022-2023 (August-2022), the university is taking the following measures: 1. A MSSharePoint was created in collaboration among the Registrar?s, Financial Aid and Finance Offices staff to serve as an easy access documentation repository and to enhance communication. Information of changes in the enrollment status of any student is documented internally for discussion among the offices (Monthly Withdrawal Conciliation Report). 2. Monthly meetings with the Registrar?s, Financial Aid and Finance Offices staff takes place. Personnel from the Institutional Effectiveness Office, and the Offices of the Dean and the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs also attend to facilitate the discussion. During these meetings the three offices reconcile data on student enrollment status (as documented in the MSSharePoint). This best practice assures that: a. Student enrollment status is recorded accurately and on time. b. Withdrawal cases in which transactions are required with the USDoE are documented early so that funds are returned within the allowable prescribed period. c. As an extra bonus, communication is improved among the Registrar?s, Financial Aid and Finance Offices staff. 3. The dean of student affairs and the dean of academic affairs have provided faculty development seminars on the expectations of a faculty member to comply with federal regulations. Among the topics discussed is the importance of attendance recording and documentation. As well, faculty were required to refer to the Registrar?s and to the Dean of Admissions and Student Affairs Offices any student absent to two consecutive significant academic events. The purpose is: a. Early detection of a student that might be at risk of academic difficulties. b. Early awareness of a student that might be changing enrollment status. 4. To date four (4) attendance surveys have taken place taken place (3/semester). The attendance surveys provide the opportunity to capture any students at risk of changes in enrollment status. As a consequence, student enrollment status may be recorded accurately and on time and as well funds are returned to the USDoE within the allowable period. 5. Periodic letters to the faculty from the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs to highlight the importance pf promptly referring any changes in student attendance to activate retention efforts or in order to identify and record accurately and on time any changes in student enrollment status.

2022-002 Internal Control over Compliance and Compliance with Reporting (Preparation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Auditor Recommendation: We recommend management attend Federal award trainings and information to ensure the documented policies and procedures can be performed as described. This will ensure the Federal funds are reported accurately on the SEFA and that programs are reported under the correct assistance listing number. Corrective Action: The year ended August 31, 2022 was the first year in which the Center expended federal awards in excess of the limit that requires a Single Audit. Since receiving the EIDL loan, the Center maintained detailed tracking and documentation of all disbursements associated with the loan and understood such expenditures exceeded the $750,000 threshold for a Singe Audit during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. With the clarification of the specific rules surrounding the disclosure of EIDL loans on the SEFA, management will continue to review Federal Award guidance and requirements to ensure compliance with current and future federal awards. Name of Responsible Contacts: Larry Goodpaster, Director of Finance & Operations, and Kelly Martin, Accounting Manager Projected Implementation Date: May 1, 2023 and ongoing

Finding Summary: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) provides that amounts charged to Federal programs must be for allowable costs. To be allowable under Federal awards, costs must be adequately documented and supported. Community Chest, Inc. does have an internal control system to properly differentiate between federal and nonfederal expenditures, however certain immaterial amounts were not properly classified within the system in accordance with their internal control system. Responsible Individuals: Erik Schoen, CEO; Amber Stanley, Business Manager Corrective Action Plan: We are in agreement with this finding. As part of our CAP, we have replaced our former business manager with a new employee, who is receives regular support and guidance from an independent accounting professional with decades of experience. Together, they are forming a point-by-point strategic approach so that this finding is corrected in the current FY. We believe that being more timely in everyday processes, month end closes and reconciliations will help prevent changes after the fact in regards to monthly billings provided to our grantors. As of 10/1/22, we have already doubled our pace of account reconciliation. We will continue to improve with the accuracy of billings and grant end closes internally.
