Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Wanda Spradley, Director Financial Aid and Jennifer Sauer, AVP and Controller Finding 2022-001 Corrective Action Plan: The finding is related to required enrollment information being reported to National Student Loan Data System which can include a variety of part time statuses as well as changes in field of study. All 3 of the students indicated as not being reported were from changes in field of study. The data to be reported includes Classification of Instructional Programs (?CIP?) codes provided by the U.S. Department of Education. The CIP codes were updated in 2020, and the college did not update its registration system. With the old codes used in the enrollment change reporting, the changes were effectively shown as ?not reported?. The Registrar?s office is updating all CIP codes in the Banner database to correct this going forward. Since it is more than halfway through fiscal 2022-23, it may possibly show as an issue next year prior to February 1, 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: February 28, 2023

Condition: There were no monthly direct loan reconciliations performed. Criteria: Per SFA requirements, the College is required to reconcile the COD data files with the College?s financial records. Cause: Turnover in the staff and Director positions of the College. The new employees were not aware of this requirement. Effect: Noncompliance with SFA requirements. Perspective: There has been high turnover in the SFA department, including a time where there was not a Director in place. The new Director came on in the fall of 2022 and will begin performing the monthly reconciliations as required. Recommendation: We recommend that the direct loans are reconciled at least monthly between the COD and the College?s general ledger. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Dodge City Community College staff involved have received training and been made aware of requirements. Monthly reconciliations will be performed immediately.

Condition: We examined a sample of Title IV aid recipients to verify that information reported on the Enrollment Reporting roster file sent to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) matched the student's academic files and found instances where students received Title IV aid during a semester but the status of withdrawn or graduate were not reported correctly or timely on the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting roster files sent during that semester. Criteria: Per the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide, a school should report all students that NSLDS includes in its request to the school on a roster file. This includes timely and accurate reporting of the status of the student of withdrawn or graduate. Cause: The status of the students were not timely and accurately reported to NSLDS. Effect: Students could potentially not be placed in grace or repayment status when they should be. Perspective: There has been high turnover in the SFA department, including a time where there was not a Director in place. The new Director came on in the fall of 2022 and has taken charge and completed the backlog of reporting, implemented new procedures, and sent two staff to training. They are current as of the spring 2023 reporting. Recommendation: We recommend that personnel in charge of enrollment reporting be diligent in reviewing the roster file to ensure that all appropriate students are shown and attendance changes are reported in a timely and accurate manner. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Dodge City Community College staff involved in enrollment reporting to the NSLDS have reviewed the NSLDS Reporting Manual to better understand and accurately report the student's enrollment status. They have completed the backlog of reporting, implemented new procedures, and sent two staff to training. They are current as of the spring 2023 reporting.

During fiscal year 2021-2022, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all its members. As the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education {IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. However, there was inadequate oversight performed by the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with the Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking compliance requirement. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the earmarking requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for non-public students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure non-public school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. Context: The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for 19611-042-PN01, 19619-042-PN01, 20611-042-PN01, 20619-042-PN01, 21611-042-PN01, 20619-042-PN01 grant awards could not be verified for the individual schools to verify the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported to IDOE as required. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were isolated to the 19611-042-PN01, 19619-042-PN0l, 20611-042-PN01, 20619-042-PN01, 21611-042-PN01, 20619-042-PN01 grant awards. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and will take the following corrective action ... Responsible party and timeline for completion: Brian L Christner, director of finance, will follow-up with the Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative to ensure that nonpublic expenditures are properly reported. Completion date will be April 30, 2023.

Finding 2022 ? 001 Fiscal year in which the finding occurred: 2022 Pass-Through Entity, if pass-through or Federal Grantor Agency, if direct: Chicago Bar Foundation Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Whitney Trumble and Cassandra Lively Contact Phone Number: 312-922-6464 Status of Audit Finding: At the time of the audit, CCR had not received funds for three months of work as a subgrantee on the large federal grant that is the subject of this plan. The grantor was awaiting the federal contract extension and funds, and so did not have the funds to release. CCR received communication from the grantor that the extension and funds would be available soon, so we prepared a check for a vendor. Then, there was an extensive additional delay in receiving the funds, and CCR did not send the check because the contract had not yet been signed and funds could not be dispersed. The expense had been approved by the grantor and the work was underway during the delay in mailing the check. Corrective Action: As of June 2022, stricter internal controls have been implemented to ensure that any reimbursements listed on a grant invoice have been sent out to the vendor before submitting the report. A more formal review process has been implemented: CCR?s Executive Director will review and approve monthly grant reports via email. She will also review and approve supporting documentation for reach grant report. Approval (sent via email) will be kept with in a digital file with the reporting documentation. An additional internal control has been implemented to ensure that expenditures submitted for reimbursement are within the period of performance for the grant agreement. The Executive Director will monitor the grant expenses against the grant agreement, paying specific attention to the invoices at the end of the grant period, in order to ensure that the invoice is dated prior to the end of the grant agreement or most current amendment.

2022-001 Awarding of Direct Loans and Pell Grants Recommendation: We recommend the College evaluate its policies and procedures for identifying transfer credits and other changes made after the initial packaging to ensure that federal awards are revised as needed. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: Beacon is implementing a new comprehensive software system (Jenzabar One) which ? paired with NetPartner and PowerFAIDS ?will better identify changes in student status. The system will also include InfoMaker software which the financial aid office will use to pull information needed to double check for late changes in student eligibility. Full implementation of the new software is now estimated to occur in December 2022. In the interim, enhanced procedures have been put in place by the Financial Aid Office to prevent further issues: a. Requesting an updated anticipated graduation list from the Registrar at the beginning of each term to confirm students are awarded appropriately b. Requesting a final graduation list from the Registrar at the end of each term to identify any students whose graduation plan has been delayed and making immediate adjustments to their aid eligibility, if needed. c. Performing a finalized review of all graduating students prior to the end of the academic year to ensure proper adjustments have been made. d. Requesting updated reports from the Registrar of any student receiving credit for transfer coursework prior to the start of each semester and making adjustments immediately to their aid eligibility; e. Prior to disbursement, a second review of all students is being performed to identify students whose grade-level conflicts with determination level for pending loans f. A final review prior to the end of each term is conducted so late adjustments can be made if needed.

Finding 2022-020 Medicaid Cluster, ALN 93.775, 93.777, and 93.778 and Children's Health Insurance Program, ALN 93.767 - Expenditure Processing for Medical Payments Management Views MDHHS agrees with the finding. Planned Corrective Action MDHHS has been working since 2018 to ensure correct eligibility classifications in Bridges at the time of payment and a system change was implemented in April 2021 to correct the issue. All new cases are correctly routed. MDHHS expects that all existing cases will be updated during the 14-month period following the May 11, 2023 end date of the PHE, as MDHHS completes renewals for existing cases. MDHHS could not terminate Medicaid benefits during the PHE, and annual renewals have not been completed since the start of the PHE, resulting in most Medicaid cases not being touched until the 14-month unwind period allotted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services at the end of the PHE. MDHHS identified and updated its manual process of transferring expenditures from the Medicaid Cluster to the Children?s Health Insurance Program in June 2021; and will continue this manual process, on a quarterly basis, by completing a summary-level adjustment determined by analyzing CHAMPS payment data and Bridges eligibility data until all existing cases have been updated. Anticipated Completion Date July 31, 2024 Responsible Individual(s) Logan Dreasky, MDHHS Brant Cole, MDHHS Erin Emerson, MDHHS
