Need Analysis Planned Corrective Action: PowerFAIDS, a new financial aid processing software, was adopted by the Anderson University Office of Financial Aid this year. It was discovered that PowerFAIDS does not automatically correct the student’s need-based aid when additional aid is added manually after a student has been packaged. The assumption of the Financial Aid Office was that this was automatically adjusting as it had done in the previous system used. The Senior Associate Director reached out to PowerFAIDS to get an understanding of when manual calculations need to be done to a student’s need-based aid. In light of this new information, the Financial Aid Office will adjust their practice going forward. When additional aid is awarded going forward, need based aid will be manually adjusted so that students are not over awarded in need-based aid. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: David J. Sarah, Director Anticipated Date of Completion: Students who were over awarded in Federal Direct Subsidized Loans were corrected on COD effective 08/17/2023.

Untimely and Inaccurate Return of Title IV Funds Planned Corrective Action: FA Solutions (FAS), a third-party vendor, was contracted to assist with compliance and other processing responsibilities that included the processing of all R2T4s for Anderson University. While the staff of the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships supplied documentation to FAS in a timely manner, FAS processed R2T4 late and, in some cases, inaccurately. When this was discovered by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships, all R2T4 and processing responsibilities were brought back under the in-office staff at AU in order to process Return of Title IV funds accurately and in compliance. Anderson University has enrolled our Senior Counselor in a 6-week R2T4 course with the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) where she will pursue credentialing in Return of Title IV Funds with NASFAA as well as R2T4 Specialist designation. Additionally, policies for students who stop attending, and for whom the last day of attendance can not be determined, will be reviewed and revised for clarity and better communication with the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: David J. Sarah, Director Anticipated Date of Completion: The return of all processing of financial aid was brought back to AU effective 06/20/2023. The R2T4 course taken by our Senior Counselor will be completed 11/06/2023. Final R2T4 adjustments completed 10/20/2023.

No. 21.026 Homeowner Assistance Fund – COVID 19 Corrective Action Plan: The Commission was made aware of the sophisticated fraudulent entity through its contacts with the National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA). Staff remains active in those groups, participating in weekly and monthly calls and will adopt further preventative measures that have been shown to be effective in other states. Staff has implemented a more rigorous servicer onboarding process, whereby questionable items or documentation deemed to be suspicious or potentially altered will be presented to the program director, finance staff, compliance staff, or other internal staff for further investigation. Staff does not anticipate further issues with falsified information with the enhanced onboarding procedures implemented. In addition, balances owed are verified by loan servicers, and funds are paid directly to the servicer and never to individual homeowners. Completion Date: The Commission implemented additional compliance review procedures during fiscal year 2023 and completed its investigation of the identified case.

Finding 2023-002 – Allowable Costs and Activities, Eligibility – Compliance and Control Finding Federal Award No. 21.023 Emergency Rental Assistance Program – COVID 19 Corrective Action Plan: The Commission administered direct assistance according to the program rules and regulations. The Commission collected the required information and documentation to review and approve applications. Applicants submitted certified applications meeting the requirements of the program. However, the Commission staff discovered through its noncompliance review and identification processes that some program applicants provided false information and fraudulent documentation that continues to be investigated and reported to the proper authorities. Internal controls have been enhanced to mitigate and help prevent further exposure to noncompliance. Past and ongoing measures implemented to ensure eligibility of all funds disbursed include: the adoption of a formal fraud, waste, and abuse policy in July 2021 as well as providing additional training to employees and third parties that were responsible for reviewing and approving applications in order to better detect invalid applicants to prevent funding these applicants. In May 2021, the Commission hired an Internal Compliance Manager and created an Internal Compliance Department who has engaged a third party law firm and a consulting group to provide consultative assistance to improve processes and to assist in investigating applications deemed to be questionable. Further, internal staffing capacity was expanded with the creation of the Community Programs Processes Department in fall 2021 and the Data and Analytics Department in early 2022. Additional investigative techniques such as “mass denial metrics” and tiered level reviews were implemented into weekly application processing. Commission staff set regular internal coordination meetings to improve communication and aid in the identification of new indicators. Internal compliance staff actively participates in national groups administering similar programs, and explores and adopts new preventative or other review measures demonstrated to be effective in other states. As program funds for direct rental and utility assistance have been expended and direct assistance applications no longer accepted, additional internal metrics and compliance review processes are being developed to apply a consistent process for examining any outstanding questioned costs and to make a final determination regarding the eligibility of disbursed funds. Completion Date: The Commission implemented additional compliance review procedures during fiscal years 2021 and 2022 and expects to conclude its investigation of the fiscal year identified cases during calendar year 2024.

A formal fraud, waste and abuse policy was adopted in July 2021.

We consider the untimely returns and incorrect calculations of the Return of Title IV to be an instance of noncompliance to the Special Tests and Provisions Compliance Requirement. This is also a repeat finding reported in Section IV Prior Year Financial Statement and Federal Award findings as 2022-001. Corrective Action Plan Action has already been completed. In both cases, the calculation was complete timely, but there were errors in the calculation. When the errors were identified, both calculations were purged and recalculated and the correct funds were returned.

Disbursements to Ineligible Students Planned Corrective Action: While the Office of Financial Aid sought to replicate controls that were in place within the legacy system, the noted disbursements to ineligible students were a direct result of the system conversion to Workday. The following measures have been or will be taken to prevent such disbursements in the future. Transfer credit evaluation (prior degree and TEACH grant) To ensure students with prior bachelor’s degrees are not awarded incorrectly, the office will coordinate with the Registrar’s Office to ensure that all undergraduate students with a prior degree are flagged immediately after transcript evaluation. The transfer credit coordinator will notify the Office of Financial Aid. If the student’s ISIR does not reflect they have earned a prior bachelor’s degree the student will be notified and the ISIR will be corrected. Existing award programming prevents students with ISIRs indicating a prior degree from being awarded aid for which they are ineligible. To ensure transfer students with GPAs that do not meet the requirements to receive TEACH grant are not awarded incorrectly, the office will conduct a review of all transfer students awarded TEACH grant once all their transcripts have been received to ensure they meet transfer GPA eligibility requirements. Loans in excess of limits To ensure students are not awarded loans in excess of their aggregate limits, the financial aid operations department has begun to proactively review NSLDS data for any student that is seen to be approaching loan limits. When an ISIR indicates an eligibility amount that is less than a single year’s maximum award, the operations department reviews NSLDS and overrides aggregate totals as needed to ensure students are not awarded over their limits. We are going to work with our post-implementation consulting partner, Alchemy, to determine other best practices within Workday. Pell Grant awarded for courses that do not apply to student’s program of study To ensure students are not awarded Pell grant for courses that do not apply to their program of study, the office developed reports to compare the financial aid load used to calculate the award with the financial aid loan within the student’s program of study. While these reports were in use during the 2022-2023 award year, there were some academic programs that had to be updated because of issues with their initial setup. Those changes have abated in this second academic year, but the financial aid technician will conduct a final check in the last week of the 7A and 7B terms so any changes to program of study load status can be reevaluated. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Michael Sapienza, Associate Vice President of Enrollment Services Anticipated Date of Completion: Necessary reports and calculations will be developed prior to December 1, 2023. Review will continue on a continuous basis.
