FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS 2022-002 - ALLOWABILITY Recommendation: We recommend that the Council implement controls to ensure that expenditures are properly reviewed and approved before being charged to a federal award and that adequate supporting documentation is maintained. Action Taken: In February 2023, the current Fiscal Officer received formal training from the National Endowment for the Humanities' grants management staff on allowable costs and proper documentation procedures for federal grants and grant-making entities, under 2 CFR 200. The Fiscal Officer and all staff involved with federal grants subsequently reviewed the Council's internal procedures, to ensure that all expenditure paperwork is received, approved, and filed with the grant documentation.

FINDING 2022-003: Under awarded Federal Direct Subsidized Loan A. Comments on Findings and Recommendations: In response to the under awarded Direct Subsidized Loan, Brillare Beauty Institution agrees with the Single Audit Finding 2022-002. B. Actions Taken or Planned: Brillare Beauty Institute has resolved the 2021-2022 award year regarding the under awarded Direct Subsidized loan. The 2021-2022 financial aid award year was re-opened and the under award loan amount was reallocated from Direct Unsubsidized to Direct Subsidized in Common Origination and Disbursement. Brillare Beauty Institute hired an additional Financial Aid Officer in February 2022 to help with administering the Title IV Direct Loan program. At the time of this error, training of the new employee was still in process.

A. Comments on Findings and Recommendations: 2022-001 - Missing Proof of Loan Entrance Counseling. It seems that the student may not have completed entrance counseling. When this student started, MCU was contracted with Weber as its Third- Party Servicer who used to check entrance counseling before processing our students. Since 2020, MCU has been contracted with Campus Ivy whose platform now requires the Financial Aid Department to upload the entrance counseling proof before processing can occur. B. Actions Taken or Planned: 2022-001 - Missing Proof of Loan Entrance Counseling. The student in question has now performed the required Entrance Counseling. Since May 2020, MCU's updated entrance counseling process with Campus Ivy has helped mitigate a risk of gaps with regard to the completion of entrance counseling. MCU will perform an internal review on current students enrolled before May 2020 to ensure entrance counselings are complete.

A. Comments on Findings and Recommendations: 2022-003 - Untimely Enrollment Status Reporting. The Financial Aid Department has a consistent procedure surrounding NSLDS updates, but like many schools, encountered some technical issues over the summer when the NSLDS platform was updated. B. Actions Taken or Planned: 2022-003 - Untimely Enrollment Status Reporting. MCU switched over to Campus Ivy performing its NSLDS reporting in December 2022 which helps eliminate the duplication of efforts in updating CORE and NSLDS. This should also help to close any potential gaps in reporting.

To prevent incorrect interest rates in the future, a loan process flow document [Exhibit C] has been created. The project and division manager will use this tool prior to drafting an offer letter, which serves as the first official offering of a fixed rate. Rates will be checked again prior to closing. If at this time, the rate is different then what was provided in the offer letter, the division manager will seek approval from EDA. Please see table included in the corrective action plan. 2. Business Development, Finance, and the Deputy Director have set up monthly loan monitoring meetings.

1. Recommendation: We recommend that deferred costs related to the origination of loans be classified as a component of loans to members and that the related amortization be reported as a reduction of interest income on loans for financial reporting purposes. 2. Recommendation: We recommend that the accrued liability for accrued bonus expense be adjusted based on bonus projections to ensure compensation expense is recorded in the appropriate accounting period. 3.Recommendation: We recommend that the Credit Union record the appropriate adjustments to the fixed asset cost and accumulated depreciations accounts to accurately report the account balances in the accounting records. 4. Recommendation: We recommend that the Credit Union record the appropriate adjustments to the fixed asset cost account to accurately report the account balance in the accounting records. 5. Recommendation: We recommend that the Credit Union record interest expense on the ECIP debt for the initial interest period as required by GAAP. After this initial period, interest expense would then revert to interest rate as stated in the ECIP agreement. 6. Recommendation: The lack of formal account reconciliations represents a vulnerability in the Credit Union?s internal controls, as errors or unauthorized transactions may occur and not be detected or adjusted in a timely manner. We recommend that management ensure that account reconciliations are prepared timely for all balance sheet accounts at the end of each financial reporting period. Account reconciliations should be reviewed timely, and the review should be documented. 7. Recommendation: All unresolved/uncleared reconciling items appearing on general ledger account reconciliations should be addressed in a timely manner or approved for write-off or adjustment by management. We recommend the Credit Union develop a policy or procedure to establish a threshold for the timely write-off or adjustment of stale dated reconciling items. (No adjustments were recorded to the audited financial statements for these issue as, in the aggregate, they were not deemed material to the Credit Union?s financial statements taken as a whole.) Summary: We recommend that management ensure that account reconciliations are prepared timely for all balance sheet accounts at the end of each financial reporting period. Account reconciliations should be reviewed timely, and the review should be documented. Action Taken: Management agrees with the finding and will ensure that account balances are reconciled timely and accurately going forward.
