Corrective Action Plan Responsible Official: Iman Riddick, Registrar and T.J. Snowden, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: Dec 15, 2022 Finding 2022-001: Enrollment Reporting and Documentation of Controls Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the recommended corrective action for which the Institute immediately began to remediate. This relates to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) site modernization resulting in NSLDS functionality/operational pauses that included the data flow from National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to NSLDS. This issue has been resolved. The Institute has established a procedure to ensure this does not happen again. It should also be noted that as of December 2022, the Director of Financial Aid and Registrar have implemented procedures and controls to ensure that all required reporting to the NSLDS is performed accurately and in a timely manner. Each month?s enrollment data submission to National Student Clearinghouse by the Registrar will be reviewed by the Director of Financial Aid to verify the consistency of the data in NSLDS; The Director of Admissions and the Registrar will review submission of the 10 business days after the original submission and on the 14th of each month prior to the submission of the next batch of enrollment data to the National Student Clearinghouse. This will allow IWP to correct any inaccurate reporting and verify timely submissions to both systems, providing a preventive control in addition to the resolution of the NSLDS functionality pause.

December 1, 2022 U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue SW Washington, DC 20202 Re: Corrective Action Plan Pacific School of Religion (PSR) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Audit period: July 01, 2021 through 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. Finding 2022-001 Enrollment Reporting Criteria: Title IV regulations (34 CFR 685.309(b)) require that upon receipt of an enrollment report from the Secretary, institutions must update all information included in the report and return the report to the Secretary: (i) in the manner and format prescribed by the Secretary: and (ii) within the timeframe prescribed by the Secretary. Unless it expects to submit its next updated enrollment report to the Secretary within the next 60 days, an institution must notify the Secretary within 30 days after the date the institution discovers that: (i) a loan under Title IV of the Act was made to or on behalf of a student who was enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the institution, and the student has ceased to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis or failed to enroll on at least half-time basis for the period for which the loan was intended; or (ii) a student who is enrolled at the institution and who received a loan under Title IV of the Act has changed his or her permanent address. Recommendation: The School should revise its procedures to ensure accurate enrollment information is sent to NSLDS with the required timeframe for all students. Corrective Action Plan: Procedural changes implemented by the school during the Spring 2022 semester that allow for more frequent and timely enrollment reporting will correct this type of enrollment reporting error going forward. In addition, school administration will update procedures to verify status start dates for any enrollment changes specifically match the student?s enrollment in the student information system. Sincerely, Natasha Lee Vice President for Finance and Administration

Finding 2022-001 Subject: Medicaid ? Eligibility, Other Matters Audit Findings: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the eligibility compliance requirements that are performed by the Special Education Cooperative on behalf of the School Corporation. Context: The School Corporation participates in a Special Education Co-op. In 2015, the Co-op provided an avenue through a third-party company, for the member school districts to obtain reimbursement for Medicaid services. It was discovered in 2021 that the yearly parental disclosure statements had not been completed for Medicaid eligibility compliance. Due to this oversight, each member school has had to voi transactions through the third-party company and pay back the amount of these transactions from August 9, 2015 through April 23, 2021. The School Corporation?s amount owed was $481,276 for the period identified during 2015-2021. The School Corporation completed a Voluntary Self-Disclosure of Provider of Overpayments Packet through the Indiana Family & Social Services Administration?s Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning Office to reimburse the amounts owed. The amount related to this period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022 was indeterminable. The full amount was paid back prior to June 30, 2021. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Parental disclosure statements are completed annually for Medicaid eligibility compliance. This has already been implemented. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Madeline Sandberg, Director of BCNWH Joint Services, 7/1/2021

FINDING 2022-005 Subject: Special Education Cluster ? Period of Performance Audit Findings: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the equipment requirements of the Period of Performance compliance requirement. Context: The School Corporation was a member of a joint service cooperative (Cooperative). The Cooperative operated the special education programs on behalf of the School Corporation and managed the special education grant funds. Because the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education and the School Corporation, the School Corporation was ultimately responsible for compliance with the grant agreement and the Period of Performance compliance requirement. During fiscal year 2021, the School Corporation paid membership fees to the Cooperative out of federal Special Education funds. These membership fees made up approximately 48% of the total federal expenditures reimbursed during fiscal year 2021. The Cooperative accounted for state, local, and federal funds in a single fund. The fund did not separately account for each of the funding sources. This made it difficult to identify which expenditures were from federal funds, or to identify expenditures by federal program, award number, or years. Therefore, we could not test compliance with the period of performance requirements for approximately 48% of the expenditures. The School Corporation did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the period of performance requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that costs were charged to the programs only during the period of performance, or that all obligations were liquidated within 90 days of the end of the period of performance. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were systemic issues, which occurred specifically during fiscal year 2021. No reportable findings were noted for fiscal year 2022. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Members of the cooperative are no longer paying their cooperative member fees with federal funds. This was resolved effective 7/1/2021. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Zach Dennis, CFO, 7/1/2021

Equipment Management Audit Findings: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the equipment requirements of the Equipment and Real Property Management compliance requirement. Context: The School Corporation is a member of a joint service cooperative (Cooperative).

This made it indeterminable whether equipment purchases were made by the Cooperative with federal funds, or to identify equipment expenditures by federal program, award number, or years. Therefore, we could not test compliance for approximately 48% of the expenditures. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that equipment purchased with grant funds was properly recorded and maintained in the School Corporation's equipment records. The Cooperative also did not maintain records for the disposition of equipment purchased with federal grant funds. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were systemic issues, which occurred specifically during fiscal year 2021. No reportable findings were noted for fiscal year 2022.

Finding 2022-002 ? Special Education Cluster - Earmarking Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Brittany Treesh Contact Phone Number: 260-357-3185 Views of Responsible Official: The school corporation concurs with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Garrett-Keyser-Butler Community School District (GKB) will work with the Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative to implement the procedures detailed below. The Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative (NEISEC) Treasurer will reach out to GKB during the writing process of the IDEA 611 and 619 grants in order for GKB to submit their plans for their allocation of proportionate share money. NEISEC will provide the allocation amounts to GKB. These submissions will include a proportionate share budget and include proportionate share staff names and any necessary information for the budget categories. The NEISEC Treasurer will then compile the proportionate share information and include on the grant submission. The LEA Treasurer will be given a copy of the grant application and budget upon approval of the grant. Any NEISEC employee being paid out of proportionate share grant funds for salary and benefits will be paid from the LEA?s financial software. The LEA Treasurer will keep a spreadsheet of employee proportionate share expenses and this spreadsheet will be updated monthly based on time and effort logs that are submitted by GKB to the LEA and NEISEC. Any employee utilizing proportionate share funds that is not an employee of NEISEC, but rather a direct employee of GKB, will be paid directly by GKB. Time and effort logs will still be submitted to the LEA and NEISEC Treasurers for these employees in order to generate a direct reimbursement from the grant fund to GKB. For any expenses for a category outside of salary and benefits, GKB will need to submit an invoice and proof of purchase for equipment, supplies, etc. to NEISEC and the LEA in order to be directly reimbursed for those proportionate share expenses. If the request was not in the initial grant budget, GKB must submit all relevant information to NEISEC in order for a grant modification to be completed. Per IDOE the grant modification must be approved first prior to purchasing the items. Time and effort logs as well as invoice and proof of payment must be sent to the LEA Treasurer in order to complete the grant reimbursement requests. At the end of the grant period, any remaining proportionate share money will require that a waiver be completed. As of this date (2/10/2023) the LEA (DeKalb County Eastern CSD) and NEISEC are still in communication with SBOA and IDOE to review the proportionate share plan and ensure all necessary requirements will be satisfied. Anticipated Completion Date: Changes discussed above will be implemented for the remainder of the FY23 grant period starting 07/01/2023.

Finding 2022-001: Federal Program: COVID-19 - Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Assistance Listing Number: 93.498 Criteria: Non-federal entities in receipt of federal funds must comply with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.303(a), which require an entity to establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award to ensure compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Recipients of Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (PRF) payments must also comply with the reporting requirements described in the PRF terms and conditions and specified in directions issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Condition and Context: The Organization did not complete the PRF reporting in accordance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidance. The Organization inadvertently excluded from their reporting certain amounts attributable to implicit price concessions. The adjustment needed within the PRF report to correct the exclusion of implicit price concessions decreased cumulative total year over year lost revenues from $2,727,305 to $2,471,405 on total cumulative reported on distributions of PRF funding of $1,161,130. Corrective Action Plan: EmergyCare Inc. agrees with the finding and has implemented controls sufficient to identify and correct errors prior to the completion of PRF reporting, which will include a review of the most recent guidance published by HRSA as well as a separate formal review and approval of the information being reported by an individual with an appropriate amount of knowledge surrounding the Provider Relief Fund. EmergyCare Inc. will update revenue the amounts reported in the Provider Relief Fund reporting portal during the next available reporting period. Contact Person: Abigail Johnson, Director of Finance 1926 Peach Street Erie, PA 16502 Expected Date of Resolution: The policies are expected to be updated effective March 1, 2023.

Enrollment Reporting Student - Rodriguez Peria, Joan; ID #M00601823; Term 2022-13 Cause The student's Graduated (G) status was not reported to the NSLDS. The student's graduation application was dated December 2, 2021, but was not paid and submitted until February 12, 2022. The student's degree was certified in our Banner system on February 23, 2022. By the certification date, the "Graduate-Only" file transmissions to the Clearinghouse (NSCH) for the 2022-13 term had ceased. Once the file transmission for a term ceases, any cases has to be manually reported at NSLDS. Unfortunately, this case was not reported to NSLDS. Action Once the circumstances of this case were identified, the student's status update to a (G) Graduate in NSLDS has been intended several instances over the past few weeks and is still in process due to problems with the NSLDS modernized website. The Electronic Announcement ID: GENERAL-22-76 reports open issues with the NSLDS modernized website. Corrective Action Plan According to the Graduation Certification Calendar submitted to the registrars, we will develop a monitoring process to identify students certified as graduate past the certification deadline. These students will be referred to the registrars for immediate certification at the NSLDS and to the Management Compliance Office for verification at the NSLDS.

R2T4 Late Return Student Jean Morales Cruz; ID #E00542118; Term 2022-10 Cause This is an exceptional case where the student reinstalled the enrollment after a withdrawal process was processed. ? Student enrolled in course CMEM 0291, Section 51806 (EMS Internship) for a total of de 9 credits at the beginning of term 202210. ? On September 7, 2021, the professor indicated that the student had not been attending the course and a total withdrawal was processed, since this was the only course in which student was enrolled for the term. ? The R2T4 calculation was performed and the TIV award cancelled. ? Subsequently, on September 29, the Registrar's office received a certification of the student's attendance to the course and the student's enrollment was reinstalled and the financial aid re awarded. ? Upon finalizing the term, the professor annotated an administrative withdrawal (UW) for the student with the last date of attendance as of October 18, 2021. But the administrative withdrawal was not properly recorded due to previous R2T4 existing record on system and the TIV return not processed on a timely manner. Action Once the circumstances of this case were identified, the R2T4 was reprocessed on June 22, 2022 and the corresponding return of the 50% of the award was completed. Corrective Action Plan The San German campus established a procedure to reinforce the internal communication between the corresponding offices to ensure a proper process for any enrollment reinstalled after an R2T4 process was performed for the same period. 1. The Dean of Academic Affairs receives and signs the student's request for re enrollment in courses. He will submit the request to the Enrollment Manager for the reinstallation process. 2. The Enrollment Manager will evaluate the request and upon approval will run the RWOTIVE- Automatic Registration Reinstatement process. This process will cancel the previous student's withdrawal record, the financial aid adjustment and register the adjustments to the student's account. 3. Once these steps are completed, the Enrollment Manager will notify the Registrar to change the enrollment status in the system and reinstall the courses. 4. Once the Registrar has completed the process, the Bursars Office will validate the total enrollment costs and the Financial Aid Office will be notified for the processing of the financial aid. Also, the Institutional Financial Aid Office designed the report SWOBJAC (Reinstalled Students with Active Total Withdrawal) to identify any student who reinstalled enrollment and an existing R2T4 record is active in our system for the same period. The report will be generated automatically at the end of each week and sent to the Enrollment Manager to identify any pending case. Contact persons: Mrs. Vilma S.

R2T4 Calculation Program Name: Federal Direct Student Loan Program Federal Pell Grant Program Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant ALN and Program Expenditures: 84.268 ($1,119,033) 84.063 ($684,817) 84.007 ($34,837) Award Number: P268K223315 P063P213315 P007A213421 Federal Award Year: July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Questioned Costs: $26.85 (84.268) $97.40 (84.007) Condition Found: The Title IV funds were not returned timely for two of the forty students in the compliance testing sample. In addition, the R2T4 was not calculated correctly for two of the three students noted above. The incorrect number of days in the semester was used for both students. The remaining R2T4s calculated by the University were reviewed. Two additional R2T4s were not completed timely and one of the additional R2T4s was not calculated correctly. Federal Pell Grant funds returned for not beginning a module course were not excluded from the R2T4 calculation. Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with this finding. ? For the first student in question, the R2T4 was completed timely, but the incorrect number of days was used in the R2T4 calculation. $26.85 of Federal Direct Loans were returned to the Department of Education in December 2022. ? For the second student in question, the R2T4 was completed and accepted late by the third-party servicer. In addition, the incorrect number of days was used in the R2T4 calculation. An additional $65.59 of Federal Pell Grant funds were disbursed to the student in December 2022. ? For the third student in question, the R2T4 was not completed timely and accepted late by the third-party servicer. The R2T4 was not completed until April 2022 which was more than forty-five days after the date of determination. ? For the fourth student in question, the incorrect Federal Pell Grant disbursed figure was used in the calculation. An additional $97.40 of FSEOG funds were returned in December 2022. In addition, the R2T4 was not calculated within 45 days of the date of determination, so the original funds were returned late. ? For the fifth student in question, the R2T4 was not reviewed and approved by the TPA within 45 days of the date of determination. The correct post-withdrawal disbursement was made in August 2022. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action was completed in November 2022. Contact Person: Cliff Bristow, Director of Financial Aid 405-912-9037

FINDING 2022-001 ? Financial Close and Reporting Condition Found: During our audit, we noted the following: ?

In response to this finding, Randall University will have an independent review of non-standard journal entries added to the contract accountant?s scope-of-work as a part of Randall University?s financial closing and reporting processes.
