Identifying Number: 2022-002: U.S. Department of Education: Education Stabilization Fund: Student Aid Portion ? 84.425E; Institutional Portion ? 84.425F Finding: The required quarterly public reports were not posted to the District?s website for the student aid portion or the institutional portion. Corrective Action Taken or Planned: This relates to the reporting requirements of funds received under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES), the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA), and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) legislation, more commonly referred to as Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds I, II, and III. The legislation included reporting requirements for both the Institutional portion and Student Aid portions of the federal awards. Institutional reports are to be filed with the US Department of Education (USDOE) on forms prescribed by the Department indicating expenditures in eligible categories for the covered quarter. A standardized reporting document was not established for the Student Aid Distributions; however, distribution amounts, determination methodologies, and eligibility requirements are to be reported in a conspicuous location on the Institute of Higher Education?s website. Institutional reports have been completed. The required expenditure information was reported on the quarterly report associated with the actual draw down of the federal funds from the USDOE grants management system (G5) and not when the actual expenditures were incurred. The basis for reporting the expenditures in this manner was derived from an incorrect interpretation of a Technical Assistance Webinar related to Quarterly Reporting requirements and guidance contained in correspondence received from the USDOE Program Contact. The Student Aid portion of the federal award has been distributed in multiple awards corresponding to specific periods of student enrollment (i.e., Spring 2020, Fall 2020, Spring 2021, Fall 2021, Spring 2022). Reporting for the Spring 2020 and Fall 2020 distribution periods have been posted to Southeast Technical College?s website for the Spring/Fall 2020 distribution. Additional corrective actions will include the College compiling the Student Award information for the remaining distributions for publication on the website as required under the various HEERF guidelines and legislation. Reporting deadlines will be confirmed and posted to staff calendars to ensure timely review and filing of all reports. Future reports will be posted on a timely basis following supervisory review by the Vice President of Finance and Operations, Southeast Technical College. Contact person: Rich Kluin, Vice President ? Finance and Operations, Southeast Technical College Status of finding ? The above corrective actions will be implemented beginning April 1, 2023.

Recommendation The requirements for the reporting under HEERF student aid have evolved over the life of the grant, and it is important to ensure reporting requirements are being met as they change. We recommend the College update their website for the information related to the student portion of HEERF III (ARP) including the disbursement methodology and the number of students who received the funding. Management Response The College?s methods used to determine which students received the emergency financial aid grants and the total number of students who received funding, was documented internally for supporting parties and stakeholders.

While no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses were reported, we acknowledge the ongoing matter of WIOA questioned costs from PY 18 and PY 21. As we communicated to the audit team and as confirmed by documentation provided, we are in varying levels of discussions for resolution with ADWS on these issues, ranging from an initial response for one program year to awaiting an answer from the Arkansas Appeal Tribunal on the other. We have been fully transparent with our leadership and are well prepared to address these matters as needed with no disruption or material effect on our operations. We commit to apprising Landmark PLC of any developments on this front should any occur prior to the publication of the completed audit.
