As recommended, the Christ Hospital Health Network (the Network) has reinforced internal control procedures regarding the quarterly and annual reporting requirements relating to student and institutional portions of Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) funds. As of June 30, 2022, the Network had expended all HEERF funds received to date and, therefore, remediation of internal controls relating to the Quarterly Budget and Expenditure Reporting requirements is no longer applicable. At this time, the Network has improved internal controls to ensure that information is accurately stated in the 2022 annual report, which will be completed on or before March 24, 2023. Should the Network receive additional HEERF funds, management will ensure that all reporting aspects are published on the Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences (the College) website and will adhere to the ten (10) day reporting deadline for publication on the College?s website. Additionally, management will maintain adequate documentation to support that any reporting derived from internal budget information agrees to final or formally approved budget information.

Action Plan for Graduate and Enrollment Reporting Audit Finding 2022-001 Issue ? Graduate reporting is completed by submitting a DEGREE VERIFY file and a GRAD ONLY file to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). For spring 2022, the Technology Specialist sent a DEGREE VERIFY file to the NSC on 6/23/22 but did not include a GRAD ONLY file with that submission. This caused an issue with graduates being reported in a timely manner. Also, some students? enrollment status was not submitted to the NSC in a timely manner, to be compliant with the 60-day requirement for reporting to NSLDS. Action Plan 1? From this time forward, all graduate submissions (DEGREE VERIFY and GRAD ONLY files) to the NSC will be completed within two weeks following final grades being due. This will allow time for the NSC to submit to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Within 2-3 business days, the NSC sends an email confirmation to the Technology Specialist and Registrar stating that a degree file has been processed (see below). In addition, the Technology Specialist and the Registrar will attend training provided by the National Student Clearinghouse when it is available, to stay abreast of any regulatory changes or processing changes. Action Plan 2? The Technology Specialist submits Enrollment Reporting files to the NSC, once per month, per the NSC?s schedule. Once rosters are submitted, an email is then sent to the Technology Specialist and the Registrar confirming submission. Once this email is received, both the Technology Specialist and the Registrar will log into the NSC to verify the submission. If errors are reported with the submission, both will then log into the NSC, go to the NSLDS reporting tab to identify errors and correct each record within 10 days to ensure timely reporting. Action Plan 3? To further ensure compliance, the Office of Financial Aid and Veteran Services will run the NSLDS SCHER1 (NSLDS Enrollment Summary Report) monthly and send it to the Technology Specialist and the Registrar so they can identify any errors that were reported by NSLDS for each submission. In addition, the Technology Specialist and the Registrar will attend training provided by the National Student Clearinghouse when it is available, to stay abreast of any regulatory changes or processing changes.

Corrective Action Plan and Views of Responsible Officials The Downey Adult School concurs with the finding and to prevent future occurrences, the school has purchased a new student database management software system that will articulate with the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) in reviewing, updating, verifying and reporting student enrollment statuses, program information, and effective starting and ending dates that are required to appear on the Enrollment Reporting Roster file. The District has also partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse. The National Student Clearinghouse offers no cost services that help institutions meet compliancy, administrative, student access, and accountability needs. The automated reporting capabilities of this new system will prevent human errors and omissions from occurring when reporting NSLDS data. In addition, staff will be specifically trained on how to use the new system to process, review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, program information, and effective dates that appear on the Enrollment Reporting Roster file or on the Enrollment Maintenance page of the NSLDS Professional Access (NSLDSFAP) website.

Corrective Action Plan for Finding IC2022-001: Financial Reporting Accomack County understands the repeat finding regarding financial reporting. In our response in FY 21 to this comment we stated ?through the addition of one FTE in the FY 23 year, staff training in particular content areas such as financial reporting, pensions and OPEB reporting, and some realignment of duties with existing staff, we are able to continue internally prepared financial reports through the year and the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) properly and timely?. As an update, we have not been able to make a hire at this time, and have chosen to reformat the position to non-entry level and re-advertise in the spring of 2023. While an additional resource will be helpful, existing staff understanding of timing, and year- end financial reporting will continue to be both ongoing, and a priority. Accomack County Finance continues to consider financial reporting, including the year-end annual financial report a core competency and are open to suggestions in processes or protocols that will advance our capacity and capability in this area from Brown Edwards. As part of this response, County finance recognizes we are responsible for timely and accurate reporting which includes Accomack County Public Schools (ACPS) financial information and all other component units in the ACFR. As we are currently staffed, we do not have capacity for review of ACPS financial work through the year and have previously relied on their finance department. Unfortunately, that has caused delays, findings and revisions to financial exhibits several times at year end for corrections noted by the auditors. The County will explore options for reducing the aforementioned problems and thereby improving this issue as relates the ACPS financial information. Lastly, a component of the delay in FY 22 was the Landfill Closure/Post-closure liability in conjunction with Department of Environmental Quality. We have begun a specific time-line in coordination with the Deputy Director for Public Works, who has responsibility over the landfill and south transfer station so that finance has complete and approved cost information (through the DEQ process) prior to year-end each year, or just after year-end (timely). Responsible Official: Michael T. Mason, CPA, County Administrator mmason@co.accomack.va.us (757-787-5716); estimated completion date of not later than July1, 2023 for the new hire.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Federal Program Name: Special Education Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 84.027 and 84.173 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: H027A220087, 2022 Pass-Through Agency: Minnesota Department of Education Pass-Through Numbers: H027A210087, H027X210087, H173A210086, H173X210086 Award Period: July 1, 2021 ? September 30, 2022 Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance and Material Noncompliance (Modified Opinion) Criteria or Specific Requirement: A District cannot use more than 15% of the amount of federal IDEA, Part B funds it receives for any fiscal year, in combination with other funds, to develop and implement, early intervening services for children in kindergarten through grade 12 who have not been identified under IDEA but need additional academic and behavioral support to succeed in the general education environment. Condition: During our testing of the District?s level of effort, it was noted that the District used more than 15% of its IDEA, Part B funds for the year on Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS). Context: Total CEIS expenditures of the District totaled 17.34%, or $237,154.73 more than the maximum 15%. Questioned Costs: ALN 84.027 - $237,154.73. Cause: The District had not implemented a control to monitor this and keep them from overspending in this area in the past. Effect: The District was not in compliance with the Special Education Cluster earmarking compliance requirement. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the District reviews its procedures and controls over calculating and monitoring its CEIS expenditures throughout the year to ensure that amounts are sufficiently budgeted for and planned to meet the earmarking requirement. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
