Finding 2023-003 – Eligibility – Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Management acknowledges the audit finding and wants to reinforce that despite challenges in the cost of attendance; there were no over or under-awards to students. To address this finding, our Quality Assurance team will oversee a weekly review of the cost of attendance to ensure financial aid packages align with approved budgets, enabling early identification of discrepancies for prompt correction. Based on these reviews, individual and group coaching will be implemented to address areas of concern. A refresher training and updated tools and guidance will be completed to reinforce best practices and align with institutional policy and procedure for calculating the cost of attendance. Through these concerted efforts, NU hopes to demonstrate its full commitment to addressing the audit findings.

Management’s Corrective Action Plan National University acknowledges the findings and the recommendations regarding improving procedures. Finding 2023-001 - Special Tests and Provisions – Return of Title IV: Material Weakness in Internal Control National University agrees with this finding. As we continue to refine our R2T4 processes, we’ve had two key challenges we are addressing: Timeliness of R2T4 calculations: In FY22, NU identified an issue with how it was identifying unofficial withdrawals at the institution. To assist in rectifying the issue, we implemented a 35-day attendance policy that resulted in a significant amount of students being attritted from the University. We were working with a third-party firm to help us complete all the R2T4 calculations, which proved challenging; between our internal staffing and external support, we did not have the ability to do all of the calculations timely. As we’ve analyzed the needed manpower, we’ve expanded our Processing and Quality Assurance teams. The establishment of two additional teams within the Processing team in 2024 underscores our commitment to ensuring the timely completion of necessary calculations. Simultaneously, the increased Quality Assurance team is poised to support the enhanced internal controls, conducting weekly reviews of R2T4 calculations to verify their accuracy and timeliness. Missing students for R2T4 calculations who were withdrawn: We have established precise and accurate criteria for the development and execution of report queries. This initiative aims to ensure the comprehensive identification of students who discontinue attendance before the end of a payment period, thereby mitigating the risk of oversight. To bolster the reliability of these refined processes, NU is committed to implementing regular testing of the attendance queries. By conducting these tests at established intervals, the institution seeks to verify that the queries consistently identify the correct cohort of students. This approach serves as a crucial mechanism to maintain the accuracy of our withdrawal determination processes and underscores our dedication to continuous improvement. Through these concerted efforts, NU hopes to demonstrate its full commitment to addressing the audit findings. We know that these efforts will take time to fully take effect and be reflected in future audits.

We have implemented additional levels of approval and oversight for point-of-sale and invoice spending to ensure that receipts are captured and retained correctly, and that at invoices are reviewed and approved before payment. We have also provided additional training for spenders on best practices of recording and maintaining records. We have since also consolidated our supply chain so that spenders are able to procure most supplies through one vendor, which will have reporting and tracking capabilities. We will also be making significant changes to how mileage reimbursement is documented and approved.

Finding 2023-002: (L) Reporting of Unreimbursed Expenses Attributable to Coronavirus and Lost Revenues within the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) Provider Relief Fund Portal Program: COVID-19 - Provider Relief Fund (PRF) and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Distribution Assistance Listing Number: 93.498 Agency: Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Award Year: 1/1/2023-3/31/2023 Award Number: Not available Management’s Response to Finding: Management acknowledges the Period 4 HRSA Reporting portal submission errors noted. The personnel and supply costs identified at St. James Hospital and Memorial Hospital of William F and Gertrude F Jones Inc. were all allowable and reported in Period 4, but were over- or under-stated in a particular quarter. Management acknowledges that St. James Hospital understated its lost revenue in Reporting Period 4. Management’s Corrective Action Plan: The University is unable to amend the Reporting Period 4 submissions. HRSA has only provided guidance to providers with respect to how to account for unallowable expenses identified in prior reporting periods. The portal submission expense items identified were all allowable expenses, but under- or over- reported in a particular quarter of the Period 4 Reporting. The lost revenue calculation for St. James Hospital was an error in reporting. Since there is no ability to amend the Period 4 reporting for either of these entities, the University will ensure that it documents these corrections in case of future inquiries from the HRSA. As noted above, the URMC Office of the Chief Financial Officer, in support with the Office of University Audit, the Controller’s Office, and the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) Office of Integrity and Compliance, conducted enterprise-wide reviews of the HRSA Reporting portal submissions of all University affiliates in FY23 prior to submission to the HRSA. The University will continue to conduct enhanced reviews with respect to its future required portal submissions.
