Management's response to Finding 2022-002 Significant Deficiency- Student Status Changes Response: Bethany College accepts the finding that we have had an unplanned lapse in our enrollment reporting to NSLDS. This lapse is attributable to Bethany's monthly reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse. The National Student Clearinghouse information is submitted through the Student Status Confirmation Report process. The records are then updated with NSLDS. Due to transitions in the positions responsible for the reporting, the monthly uploads were not timely and resulted in sequent errors. Additionally, Bethany has had transitions in other offices that led to some of the identified issues regarding graduation dates and withdrawals. Due to the transitions, Lisa Reilly, Associate Provost of Academic Records and Accreditation, is now a key holder in the system. She had received training from the consortium that Bethany participants in for its database and has been working with National Student Clearinghouse on reports and updating student information. Two additional individuals will be identified and trained to process these reports by June 30, 2023. The institution will prepare a standard guide that will be used in the case of any transitions to prevent this this repeated pattern. The training guide will be completed by June 30, 2023. Reilly is working with National Student Clearinghouse on these corrections and aims to have them completed by March 31, 2023. By December 2023, Bethany will establish an internal audit of the submissions during this period of transition.

Finding 2022-003: Enrollment Reporting Award Information Cluster: Student Financial Assistance Agency: Department of Education Award Name: Federal Direct Student Loans, Federal Pell Grant Program Award Year: July 1, 2021 ? June 30, 2022 Assistance Listing Numbers: 84.268, 84.063 In August 2021, prior to the Workday Student implementation "go live" in September 2021, the University was working with their implementation consultants to help with the initial configuration of enrollment reporting in Workday. Since implementation, they have been continuously making updates to the system and processes to prevent errors from occurring. The Registrar?s office has spent significant time working to understand and refine the way that enrollment status data is captured and processed in the system. The Registrar's Office works collaboratively with partners on campus (Financial Aid and Information Technology) on identifying and resolving issues. After turnover and an extended vacancy in the Assistant Registrar position, the new Assistant Registrar started in July 2022, took over the reporting and has worked diligently to more timely identify and address errors and has noted a decrease in the number of system errors and data kickouts as a result of this work. In addition, in September 2022 the University engaged an NSC Data Specialist with Workday Student expertise to help monitor and ensure that issues are identified promptly and resolved. The Registrar?s office continuously monitors and implements Workday system updates to ensure that our system is up-to-date and staff are informed of challenges that are being identified in the larger Workday community. Finally, the Registrar?s Office continues to work closely with its financial aid counterparts, including their Director of Systems, Reporting, and Compliance, to ensure data is processed and reported within the Federal Guidelines. The last phase of this work is finalizing our review of the process and data related to degree transmission, such work as is expected to be completed no later than May 2023. The Assistant Registrar, James Smith, who can be reached at datarequest@simmons.edu, is responsible for the implementation of this corrective action plan.

Management?s Views and Corrective Action Plan The University implemented two new systems (Student Information System ? Workday, and Financial Aid System ? PowerFaids) that each are an important part of managing our Federal Student Aid. Most of the building and configuring of these systems happened prior to FY22 with the full launch in production taking place for the Fall 2021. Understandably, some of the integrations of these two systems were not able to be tested prior to Fall of 2021 (ex: actual disbursement of federal loans) and therefore, required significant time and effort in the Fall and beyond to ensure everything worked and students were able to receive funding while also building out and documenting required communications, processes, and compliance protocols. Additionally, we had turnover within the Associate Director of Financial Aid and Loan Manager role in March 2022. The implementation coupled with this staffing issue created a one-time set of circumstances that are outside of the standard oversight and management of our Federal Student Aid funds and processes. Please refer to the response to each individual finding as follows: Finding 2022-002: Borrower data and reconciliation reporting Award Information Cluster: Student Financial Assistance Agency: Department of Education Award Name: Federal Direct Student Loans Award Year: July 1, 2021 ? June 30, 2022 Assistance Listing Number: 84.268 As mentioned above, the University implemented two brand new systems (Student Information System ? Workday, and Financial Aid System ? PowerFaids) that each are an important part of managing our Federal Student Aid. During the first month of the Fall term there were significant challenges with the communication between these systems, which resulted in our first group of loans being disbursed in the last few days of September 29, 2021. It is a known issue that any loans that disburse at the end of the month are not included in the Federal SAS Reconciliation file and as a result this disbursement resulted in significant errors. Ultimately, the University was not able to finalize this reconciliation for this month. As mentioned above, the Financial Aid Office was restructured to provide even greater oversight over our Federal funds. Under the restructured office, the new Associate Director and Manager of Loans and Pell Grants has documented all processes, including reconciliation. Additionally, we created an automated report that is generated after the SAS is received and loaded into PowerFaids. A notification is sent to both the Associate Director/Loan Manager as well as the Director of Financial Aid Systems, Reporting and Compliance to provide documentation that the report was run. The Loan Manager reports to the Director of Financial Aid Systems, Reporting and Compliance who signs the completed SAS reconciliations. This process was fully put into place, including signature, for the 2022-2023 academic year beginning with the September 2022 Reconciliation. The Director of Financial Aid Systems, Reporting and Compliance, Amanda Galban, who can be reached at amanda.galban@simmons.edu, is responsible for the implementation of this corrective action plan.

Additionally, we had turnover within the Associate Director of Financial Aid and Loan Manager role in March 2022. The implementation coupled with this staffing issue created a one-time set of circumstances that are outside of the standard oversight and management of our Federal Student Aid funds and processes. Please refer to the response to each individual finding as follows: Finding 2022-001: Returns of Title IV Funds Award Information Cluster: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Grantor: Department of Education Award Name: Federal Direct Student Loans Award Year: July 1, 2021 ? June 30, 2022 Assistance Listing Number: 84.268 In implementing PowerFaids we were required to set up our own Selection Sets (set group of criteria) for managing all of the disbursements (positive or negative) for each type of fund. For all of our loan funds, we used criteria that included requiring that the particular term have at least half-time enrollment. We used this selection set to disburse (increase or decrease) both the loan to the Student Account (in Workday) as well as to get on the Books with FSA (through COD). We realized that students who took a Leave of Absence or Withdrew from the University needed their own selection set because they would have been updated to have zero credits in the term they took a leave or withdrew. The two instances where we were late in adjustment, we were in the middle of the staffing situation. Documentation had not been written by the Loan Manager at that time. Once we identified the issue with the selection set for students who were withdrawn or on a leave of absence, we reviewed all students with this condition, corrected refunds as appropriate and ensured this was corrected moving forward. The Director of Financial Aid saw a need to have greater oversight on our Federal Funds. She began a process of restructuring the Office as of February 21, 2022 so that the Loan Manager position no longer had direct reports and their main responsibility is the management of federal and private loan portfolios and the federal Pell grant fund. Processes have been documented and all selection sets and processes are managed by this new Associate Director (Loan Manager) who now reports directly to the newly created Director of Financial Aid Systems, Reporting and Compliance April 21, 2022. We do not foresee further issues with return of funds within the required 45-day timeline. The Assistant Vice President, Enrollment Student Services & Director of Financial Aid, Amy Staffier, who can be reached at amy.staffier@simmons.edu, is responsible for the implementation of this corrective action plan.

Finding: The University of Washington did not have adequate internal controls over and did not comply with federal requirements to ensure subrecipients of the Global AIDS program received required single or program-specific audits, and that it followed up on findings and issued management decisions. Questioned Costs: Assistance Listing # 93.067 93.067 COVID-19 Amount $0 Status: Corrective action in progress Corrective Action: The University maintains that there are adequate internal controls to ensure the Global AIDS program complies with the requirements for pass-through entities as outlined in Uniform Guidance 2 CFR ? 200.332 and the university policy incorporated in Grants Information Memorandum 8. As noted in the finding, the University uses a certification process to obtain information and documentation needed, such as audited financial statements, from each subrecipient and perform a risk assessment using standard risk criteria. For the one exception identified by the auditors, the University misinterpreted the response provided by the subrecipient regarding whether it expended $750,000 or more in federal awards during the fiscal year. Although the single or program specific audit report was not obtained and reviewed, a risk assessment was performed on the subrecipient. With a medium risk rating, the subrecipient was subject to monitoring at the program level throughout the project during the period in question, in accordance with University policy. The University will: ? Update the certification process with all subrecipients to confirm if federal expenditures during a fiscal year exceed the $750,000 threshold to require a single or program-specific audit. ? Issue written management decisions for all applicable audit findings. ? Ensure subrecipients develop and perform acceptable corrective actions to address all audit recommendations, if applicable.

The Office performed the maintenance of effort (MOE) calculations in accordance with the guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Based on appropriations and past funding, it was determined that the fiscal year 2022 expenditure level did not meet the MOE requirement. The Office followed the federal guidance and directions from a legislative proviso in the enacted state budget (Chapter 334, Laws of 2021, Sec. 954) and submitted a waiver request for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. The waiver was submitted before ED?s stipulated deadline of December 31, 2021. ED?s website confirmed an MOE waiver request was received from Washington state and the status of the request is currently listed as ?under review.? The Office maintains adequate internal controls and has followed all federal and state requirements with due diligence in requesting the MOE waiver. The approval process rests with the federal grantor, and the waiver has not been disapproved. In addition, the Office has been meeting with ED on a monthly basis and is already consulting with the grantor regarding the pending waiver request. The Office will also continue to work with the Legislature, which is the state-level authority for state appropriations, to monitor any updates to federal requirements.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: : New Castle County self-reported the variances in expenditures and obligations due to accruals of costs to previously reported quarters. Such variances can be common with just-in-time reporting. Regarding the omitted projects, the Reporting Portal has undergone several updates throughout the period of performance. These updates contributed to confusion in required data for projects. The omitted projects were included in the subsequent reports after the data points were known and tracked. Regarding the reporting of project obligations, Treasury?s definition of obligation is very broad and FAQ 13.17 allows the recipient to use its discretion to determine when an obligation is incurred. Such discretion calls for the interpretation of several source documents. In each report total obligations were not less than total expenditures nor did total obligations exceed available funding.

Non-Compliance ? Failure to Undergo the Required Single Audit Description of Finding: The auditor found that The Entity did not obtain the required single audit for the year ending September 30, 2021. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Management concurs with this finding. Corrective Action: Management has obtained the required Single Audit for the year ending September 30, 2022, the year in which the interim construction loan was refinanced by the direct loans from the Rural Utilities Service. Management was unaware that the expenditures of the interim construction loan were considered federal expenditures. All of the federal award activity during the September 30, 2021 and 2022 fiscal year ends have been audited as a part of the September 30, 2022 Single Audit. Management will review loan agreements, communicate with oversight agency officials, and consult annually with external auditors about requirements for single audits in the future.
