A. Comments on the Findings and Recommendations: The College concurs with the isolated finding of one instance out of the 40 FSA recipients tested ineligible funds were disbursed for a student failing to meet SAP standards.

2023-004 FINDING: INADEQUATE CONTROLS OVER PAYROLL EXPENDITURES AND NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ALLOWABLE COST & COST PRINCIPLES REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE HEAD START CLUSTER Corrective Action Plan: The University has updated its process to collect time and effort information on a semi-annual basis rather than quarterly, which relieves some burden from staff, but still complies with federal regulations. By collecting time and effort information on a semi-annual basis, staff will have more time to reconcile time and effort against actual payroll expenditures. The University has also redesigned the time and effort collection form to show the 100% distribution of work. Further, the University now has a full-time financial research administrator who will help ensure that payroll related adjustments are done timely. The financial research administrator will work with the Early Head Start program management to ensure that the related payroll reports are reviewed and reconciled timely, in accordance with existing University procedures. Responsible University Personnel: Erin Soto, Executive Director of Family Development Center; FeMia Norwood, Director of Office of Sponsored Programs and Research; Jessica Braddy, Financial Research Administrator. Anticipated completion date: Already implemented.
