CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (Concerning Finding 2022-002) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Debra Clark, Business Manager Corrective Action: Regional School Unit 1 offers the following response to finding 2022-002 Regional School Unit 1 acknowledges that a discussion took place regarding this finding with two of the representatives from RHR Smith. Federal procurement procedure policies were discussed and the RSU agrees that the current policies in place could be strengthened in the future with regards to federal funds. RSU 1 requested that specific examples of the language be shared by the auditing firm to ensure stronger controls moving forward. There is a procurement policy in RSU 1 and it was shared with the auditing firm. RSU 1 disagrees with the statements in this deficiency that purchase orders and invoices were missing or incomplete and the unit is not following a consistent approval process over allowable expenses. All invoices and purchase orders that were requested were provided. The RSU 1 does not require a purchase order for services and in those situations a purchase order was not provided, but a signature was provided. There were invoices for tents in response to the pandemic that were emailed to the Facilities Director and then forwarded to the finance office that were not always signed before processing, but the approval was in the grant application and the expense was approved by the Superintendent on the accounts payable warrant. Based upon these actions, the RSU 1 disagrees with this finding.

There were multiple grants provided during Covid 19 and grant funding applications and timing created a challenging issue for the administrative staff. Regional School Unit 1 now has the proper federal award form and the U.S. Wage and Hour Division payroll form available to be included with new construction contracts moving forward. These forms will be provided with any future construction contracts. The Facilities Director and Business Manager have reviewed the process and we are confident that this will not be an issue in the future.

Church at the Park has created formal, written policies relating to our procurements. This includes details on the dollar thresholds that determine when the procurement process is necessary, as well as the appropriate steps that need to be taken at those thresholds. It also details how vendors are to be selected, how conflicts of interest are to be resolved, and how conflicts are to be administered. Andrew Squires, Finance Director, is responsible for the implementation of these procedures. The procedures were implemented in July of 2023 and have been followed since then.

Condition: One out of three (33.3%) students selected for testing in the Spring, was disbursed a post-withdrawal disbursement without a notification being sent to authorize the loan disbursement. This was a result of the withdrawal for this student being completed late. We consider this finding to be an instance of noncompliance in relation to Special Tests and Provisions. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Corrective Action Plan: It is important to note that the entire 2021/2022 award year was processed by 3rd party servicer, Fully Disbursed. The current Financial Aid staff at Blackburn College started in October of 2021 but the processing was conducted by Fully Disbursed as they were under contract with Blackburn College for all 2021-2022 processing and packaging until August 2022 at the completion of the summer semester. The Financial Aid Office has increased controls over post-withdrawals disbursements in several ways: Establishing updated policies and procedures for disbursing funds after a student withdraws. The policy includes guidelines for determining how much aid a student is eligible for based on their withdrawal date and the specific requirements for disbursing funds; Regularly reviewing and analyzing post withdrawal disbursement data to identify any patterns or discrepancies that may indicate fraud or abuse. This includes a review of the financial records and transactions associated with each disbursement, as well as a review of the documentation that supports these transactions; Working closely with other departments within the College, including Registrar?s Office and the Business Office, to ensure that any changes in a student?s enrollment status are properly communicated and documented. By taking these steps, the Financial Aid Office will ensure that post-withdrawal disbursements are made in accordance with federal regulations and institution policies, and that these funds are used only for their intended purposes.

Condition: The College did not timely and accurately complete refund calculations in the Fall. In review of the Fall 2021 calculations the number of days in the break were not calculated correctly, resulting in the incorrect days in all Fall 2021 return of Title IV funds calculations. As a result of the incorrect number of days, the amounts of Title IV amounts returned for all withdrawn students were incorrectly calculated for 6 out of the population of 11 (54.5%) Fall withdrawal calculations. A sample of Spring withdrawal calculations identified no errors. We consider this finding to be a material weakness in relation to Special Tests and Provisions and is a repeat finding shown in Section IV of this report as prior year finding 2021-004. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Corrective Action Plan: It is important to note that the entire 2021/2022 award year was processed by 3rd party servicer, Fully Disbursed. The current Financial Aid staff at Blackburn College started in October of 2021 but the processing was conducted by Fully Disbursed as they were under contract with Blackburn College for all 2021-2022 processing and packaging until August 2022 at the completion of the summer semester. The Financial Aid staff at Blackburn Colleges understands that when calculating Return of Title IV funds, it is important to carefully review and accurately count the number of calendar days in the payment period. Currently, we review the College Academic Calendar for all vacations periods and ensure that any periods that are 5 or more days in length are added when setting up the School Calendar Profile in the R2T4 screen each academic year. This will help to make certain that all relevant dates are properly documented and that we are using the correct formula for calculating R2T4.

The Financial Aid Office at Blackburn has evaluated and revised policies and procedures to ensure students receive the proper amount of Title IV Aid. Reconciling each month is necessary to ensure we catch any and all discrepancies that may occur. We will continue to utilize all available software to assist with packaging and that will allow all financial aid, including Title IV funds, to be reviewed frequently by both the Director of Financial Aid and the Assistant Director of Financial Aid.

Pleasant View Home, Inc. Year Ended December 31, 2022 Corrective Action Plan Criteria or Specific Requirement ? During the testing of compliance for Federal Assistance Listing No. 93.498, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Direct Program: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution, it was determined that the Corporation had incorrectly re-reported $249,380 in Period 2 expenses in the Period 4 submission, which resulted in overstating expenses claimed against PRF funds of $249,380.

The Corporation continues to improve its understanding of the nuances within the guidance as it relates to charging and reporting direct expenses. Additionally, the Corporation continues to implement additional controls over future reporting periods to help ensure guidance is followed, which is being achieved through educational sessions and additional layers of review over future reporting periods to help ensure guidance is properly followed. It should be noted that while certain expenses were erroneously double counted, the Corporation had sufficient unused Lost Revenues to cover the use of these funds. Personnel Responsible ?
