Finding 2024-02: Indirect Costs (IDC) Views of Responsible Officials Management agrees with the finding and recommendations.

Corrective Action Plan Effective July 1, 2024, EVMS merged with ODU and the ODU Research Foundation became the fiscal and administrative agent for EVMS’s transferring sponsored programs on behalf of ODU. As per ODU’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the ODU Research Foundation, the ODU Research Foundation has policies and processes in place to manage how the indirect costs are calculated. The ODU Research Foundation uses its own system of internal controls for IDC calculation with no reliance on ODU systems for those processes and are audited separately. As a corrective action moving forward, ODU management will notify the ODU Research Foundation management of the audit findings, so they are aware of the internal control deficiencies. ODU will request the Research Foundation to provide a copy of their single audit report to monitor continued compliance with Uniform Guidance. The corrective action plan will be completed by March 31, 2025 and the contact person for this finding is Victoria Dean.

Finding 2024-002 Special Tests and Provision – Internal Control and Compliance over Environmental Reviews (Significant Deficiency) Criteria: Title 24 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations sections 58.1, 58.22, 58.34, 58.35, and 570.604 require projects to have an environmental review unless they meet criteria specified in the regulations that would exempt or exclude them from environmental certification requirements. For projects where the environmental review was not performed, a written documentation that the review was not required must be prepared. Condition and Context: The City could not provide support that there was pre-award or post-award review of grant projects to determine if a project requires an environmental review or is categorically excluded from the environmental review requirements. The City did not have adequate internal controls to ensure compliance with the special test – environmental review requirements. Testing was performed over each requirement for the City. Out of a total population of twelve (12) projects, we selected a sample of four (4) projects to test for environmental reviews. Four (4) out of the four (4) projects tested did not have an exemption report prepared in a timely manner. The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. City’s Corrective Action Plan: The City will reinforce its standard operating procedure concerning Environmental Reviews (ER) and will reinsure that environmental reviews are properly completed for every awarded grant project.

View of Responsible Officials - The questioned costs were immaterial and relate to a pay period that was split across the fiscal year (6/26/23 to 7/9/23, with a pay date of 7/14/23). Reports to the funder for the year ending 6/30/23 were due on 7/10/23, before all payroll information and supporting documentation for this pay period was available. Therefore, the full pay period was included in the July reimbursement report. This practice was approved by the funder and the funder will not seek to recoup out of period costs. Moving forward, the Organization will be more cognizant of accrual dates for payroll reporting and submit a true-up as needed to ensure that payroll costs are correctly allocated at the end of the fiscal year

Corrective Action Plan: The inaccuracies stemmed from insufficient workflow integration among the Office of Financial Aid and the Registrar’ Office. A critical lack of scheduled checks failed to align submission or processing dates. Furthermore, technical issues between Jenzabar and PowerFAIDS systems contributed to erroneous COA budgets. The University partnered with Financial Aid Services (“FAS”) in February 2025 to review the current systems and process, and devise appropriate systems, checks, and balances to address each deficiency in our financial aid processes and personnel. In addition, as part of the University’s transition of its ERP system from Jenzabar to Colleague, Financial Aid will be transition from the use of PowerFaids to Ellucian Colleague for financial aid management. Resulting from the work of FAS, the University will institute a systematic monthly reconciliation process to ensure consistency across all systems (COD, PowerFAIDS, Jenzabar and Colleague). This includes matching COA and disbursement records to ensure accuracy. To optimize workflow, we will establish a comprehensive calendar of disbursement and reporting deadlines, with routine internal audits every 30 days, starting April 2025. This measure will enforce accountability and timeliness in reporting. We will enhance integration between financial systems (Jenzabar and PowerFAIDS) to prevent data mismatches and streamline the reporting process. In addition, we will leverage our partnership with FAS to conduct regular training sessions for staff across the Financial Aid, Registrar, and Finance Offices to ensure everyone is aware of compliance requirements and system functionalities. These training sessions will start May 2025. Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2025

Management will continue to educate all grant managers on (1) the reporting capabilities within the system that can be utilized in the execution of monitoring payment status on individual invoices that have been submitted to granting agencies for reimbursement, and (2) the requirement to use their grant specific general ledger coding when orders are placed with vendors that are set up under the Corporation’s group purchasing process. For the specific vendor noted in Finding 2024-003, a grant number input field has been added to the group purchasing orders to allow for enhanced tracking and review of expenditures associated with grants and the monitoring of payment of those expenditures. The use of the accurate grant general ledger coding by grant managers when orders are placed, will reduce the time between placement of order and payment of the invoice. Additionally, management will develop a federal grant policy that covers all requirements for compliance and internal controls for federal grants.
