During the 2022-2023 year we hired new financial aid staff that required significant training in the regulations of financial aid. Although checks and balances were in place these two instances were overlooked. Continued training, along with improved checks and balances through our updated software system, will enable the financial aid office to avoid issues with under and over-awarding federal student aid. The office will perform periodic reviews of awarding through reports from the system that will flag students who have potentially been under or over awarded federal aid.

Finding 2023-001: Enrollment Reporting Contact person responsible for correction action – Mitzi Suhler, Financial Aid Director Anticipated completion date – June 30, 2023 Corrective action Sterling College agrees with the finding. A review of enrollment reporting is being done at the end of each semester with particular attention being paid to students who have withdrawn during the semester or graduated at the end of the term. Along with reviewing those students, a random list of students that are not a part of the withdrawal or graduation list are being chosen for review, and if no student enrollment is found to be reported inaccurate, no further review is required per our policy. We feel that there are some changes soon that will help us with our enrollment reporting. One of them is that Sterling College is implementing a new version of our software system, Jenzabar, in 2024. This system will have better checks and balances for enrollment reporting, cleaner data, and will enable the College to have more accurate reporting. There will still be a need to do a review of each semester’s enrollment reporting. The financial aid office will review all student enrollment records that are enrolled for the semester to ensure the reporting dates are correct from this point forward. Once we have confidence that the system is doing what is expected, we will adjust the review to a random list of students.

2023-A Budgetary Compliance Criteria: The Budgetary Compliance guidelines require the School to limit total expenditures, by fund, to the amounts appropriated in the final adopted budget. Condition: The School had total expenditures in the general fund that exceeded the final adopted budgeted amounts.

This is due to the School exceeding budget primarily with instructional expenditures for salaries and benefits. Effect: Expenditures in excess of the final adopted budgeted amounts. Recommendation: We recommend that management ensures their final adopted budget amounts are sufficient to cover the total expenditures by fund. Management Response: Management agrees with this finding and plans to implement additional control procedures and training of personnel to ensure that expenditures by fund don’t exceed the final adopted budgeted amounts. 53

The Hannibal School District received millions of one-time federal grant monies to assist with expenditures incurred as a result of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Although these funds were hugely helpful, minimal guidance was available. This is not a finding that has been presented to us in the past. The school district has received federal and state grants annually that are reconciled to the appropriate project codes and this process will be diligently followed as in prior years. For example, the district was awarded the Immediate Responses Services grant in Fall 2023. The expenditure project codes for this grant have been provided by grant guidance and any and all expenditures will be coded using these expenditures codes. This should prevent any need for future journal entries moving forward. This process is an example of the systematic process that will be followed for all grants.
