Cause and potential effect as presented in the Summary of Findings and Questioned Costs: The University's internal controls for determining that a loan disbursement notification was sent for each disbursement made was not operating effectively. Accordingly, the University did not send a loan notification for disbursements within the required timeframe nor with the required information. Narrative Explanation: The general Financial Aid Award letter-directing the student to view their Loan Disbursement information was insufficient to meet the requirement. While the students have direct access to their student accounts that show disbursement activity and the institution has posted to their website the required terms of loan disbursements, the federal direct loan disbursement notification was not sent to the student or parent within the required 30 days before or 30 days after the disbursement was credited to the student's account and did not include the necessary information regarding the student's right or parent's right to cancel per 34 CFR section 668.165. Corrective action: The Student Financial Aid office reached out to our software vendor Ellucian Colleague and similar peer institutions to create a Loan Disbursement Notification notice. Effective immediately, all term disbursements will receive Loan Disbursement Notification notices. The Financial Aid Transmittal process (FATR) is run each week on Tuesday morning. The notices will be emailed weekly using a date range from the last financial aid transmittal date to the current date. Should more than one FATR be run in a week’s time, the notices would increase in frequency and intensity. The documents will be archived in batches within our current Document Imaging System by date. Additionally, a section on the Student Financial Aid website will be dedicated to the Disbursement Information, including Loan Notifications and Right to Cancel Loan procedures. MUSC is currently in the process of implementing a new Student Information System with a go live date scheduled for February 2025. During implementation we will configure the new SIS to automatically send the Loan Disbursement notifications to the students when their funds have been credited to the student’s accounts. You may direct questions to me at freelan@musc.edu or by telephone at 843-792-4364.

Finding: Management did not remit payment to HUD for the amount in excess of $250 per unit for their fifteen units. Uniform Guidance states that controls should be implemented to ensure the Project is in compliance with special tests and provisions. As stated in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 memorandum released by HUD, remittance of residual receipts were suspended through December 31, 2021. Residual receipts were due to HUD by the next Project Rental Assistance Contracts renewal which was October 1, 2022. Management was unaware the funds needed to be remitted back to HUD in the time frame noted. We recommend management review their processes and controls surrounding residual receipts to ensure amounts due to HUD are properly remitted. Corrective Action: Management has updated their internal controls to ensure a proper review of residual receipts is conducted quarterly. This review will be completed by an assigned staff member, with a secondary review completed by management. Residual receipts in excess of allowed amounts will be properly accounted for as a liability on the books and records of the Project. Residual receipts in excess of the allowed amounts will be remitted when due.
