Recommendation: The auditors recommended that the Institute continue its efforts to ensure all required exit counseling procedures are conducted and documented in compliance with U.S. Department of Education regulations. Action Taken: We agree with both the finding and the recommendation. The instances of missed exit conferences with borrowers under the Federal Direct Loan Program were primarily related to students who had been dropped due to non-payment of tuition and who did not respond to our attempts to contact them for an exit conference. We understand that we failed to properly document our efforts to contact these students to schedule and perform an exit conference. We have amended our procedures to document our efforts to contact any students for which an exit conference is required and we have not been able to schedule one.

2022-001 Internal Control over Compliance and Compliance with Special Tests and Provisions Contact: Robin Odland Title: President Phone Number: 202-457-1989 Estimated Completion Date: First quarter 2023 Corrective Action: Management takes the provisions of the grant agreement very seriously and has procedures in place to address the prevention of commingling federal funds with private funds. The current condition regarding the commingling of funds was unintentional. Management distributed funds to an escrow agent using both federal and private funds. These funds were deposited into one account as reserved funds to support a credit enhancement transaction. The funds were separated into two sub-accounts to maintain the division of federal versus private funds. The account was a certificate of deposit account. On December 29, 2022 the certificate of deposit matured. Without management?s instruction, the escrow agent decided not to reinvest the funds according to the agreed upon policy and instead erroneously deposited the cash into one federal cash account. As soon as management became aware that the funds were commingled approximately a month later, the private funds were transferred from the federal account into a private account. Management utilizes general ledger accounts to display the separation of federal and private funds. On an ongoing basis, management reviews all cash accounts to ensure funds are not commingled. Monthly, management reviews the balance sheet to manage our cash activity and quarterly, reviews reports that present the separation of the cash groupings.

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 40 students tested, the College was unable to provide a copy of the award disbursement notification letter sent to student and or parent for parent plus borrowers, which includes the amount of funds the student and his or her parent can expect to receive from each FSA program and how and when those funds will be disbursed. Corrective Action Plan: The College recognizes that when Direct Loan funds are being credited to a student?s ledger account (except in the case of loan funds made as part of a post-withdrawal disbursement), the school must notify the borrower in writing (paper or electronically) of the: ? anticipated date and amount of the disbursement; ? student?s or parent?s right to cancel all or a portion of a loan or loan disbursement and have the loan proceeds returned to the Department; and ? procedures and deadlines by which the student or parent must notify the school that he or she wishes to cancel the loan or loan disbursement. The timing of a loan notification varies depending on whether a school obtains affirmative confirmation from a student that he or she wants a loan. Affirmative confirmation is a process under which a school obtains written confirmation of the types and amounts of Title IV loans a student wants for the period of enrollment before the institution credits the student?s account with those loan funds (34 CFR 668.165(a)(6)). Presbyterian College requires students to accept Direct Loan awards in BannerWeb so notifications are sent according to requirements when a student actively confirms the loan. Disbursement notifications were sent to students after each disbursement during the 2021-2022 academic year; however, the parent was not directly notified of a PLUS loan disbursement. For the 2023-2024 academic year, a PLUS Loan Form has been created and will be sent to the parent borrower to confirm the amount requesting. As of March 6, 2023, notifications are being created to notify parents with PLUS loans of disbursement and their rights. Anticipated Completion Date: March 6, 2023

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 2 of 2 mid-year transfer students tested, the school did not actively add these students to the NSLDS transfer monitoring list. Corrective Action Plan: The College acknowledges the requirement that schools obtain financial aid history information for their transfer students. Due to the small number of transfer students accepted by the College, it is the College?s belief that it followed US Department of Education guidance allowing a school to use NSLDS information for a mid-year transfer student if it obtained that information no earlier than 30 days prior to the first day of the student?s payment period (Dear Partner Letter GEN 00-12). The new Director of Financial Aid works closely with the Office of Admission and will update NSLDS manually to ?inform? it of the transfer students applying to PC mid-year. This is a relatively small group of students. For those students included on a school?s ?Inform? list, NSLDS ?Monitors? changes to the student?s financial aid history that have occurred since the latest ISIR for the student was generated and sent to the school. NSLDS will continue to monitor changes to the student?s financial aid history, and alert the school of any subsequent relevant changes. A staff member in the Office of Financial Aid will be assigned to review the Transfer Monitoring files. Anticipated Completion Date: March 1, 2023

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2022-003: Continuum of Care Program CFDA 14.267 Grant period: Year Ended June 30, 2022 Condition and Context: The Organization does not have a written procurement policy to properly implement all the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.318 through 200.326 of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.319(c), non-federal entities must have written procedures for procurement transactions. Such policy should incorporate all requirements within 2 CFR 200.318 through 200.326 of the Uniform Guidance. Cause: The Organization?s procurement policy does not incorporate all the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.318 through 200.326 of the Uniform Guidance. Effect: An important component of internal controls is the existence of operating policies and procedures that are clearly understood and communicated. Without clear written policies and procedures, there is a higher risk of noncompliance with program compliance requirements. Recommendation: Management should continue to develop comprehensive written policies and procedures to administer all federal programs. Current written policies should be evaluated for inclusion of and compliance with the Uniform Guidance requirements. Grantee Response: Management agrees with the finding and will adopt written policies to comply with Uniform Guidance requirements.

The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Corrective Action Plan Management agrees with the finding, and is committed to strengthening its procedures to avoid similar issues in the future. The College has reconfirmed the full and part time definitions for Law Masters students, and corrected the underlying technical issue that had interfered with the reporting of correct enrollment statuses for Law Master's students. The correction of the enrollment status for the two Law Masters students in NSLDS is in process. The College has also updated the procedures and documentation for enrollment reporting of GSEC Masters students to ensure the scenario identified is handled correctly and consistently in the future. The College has corrected this student's program level withdrawal date in NSLDS. Lewis & Clark College Andrea Dooley Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Operations
