Lack of Administrative Capability Planned Corrective Action: The Office of Financial Aid and Wayland Baptist University agree with this finding. To address the system limitations identified, the University has acquired a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) financial aid management system. This system will replace the current platform and is intended to improve automation, reporting accuracy, workflow tracking, and overall compliance with federal and state financial aid requirements. In addition, the Office of Financial Aid is actively reevaluating workload distribution and staff assignments to ensure responsibilities are appropriately aligned with compliance-critical functions. The University is also increasing staffing levels within the Office of Financial Aid to strengthen oversight, reduce processing risk, and ensure timely and accurate completion of compliance and reporting obligations. Collectively, these actions are designed to enhance administrative capacity, strengthen internal controls, and mitigate the risk of future compliance deficiencies. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Executive Director of Financial Aid, Robert Hamilton, and Assistant Director of Compliance & Reporting, Brooke Tyler Anticipated Date of Completion: June 30, 2026
