Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds ? Assistance Listing No. 84.425 Recommendation: We recommend the universities review their reporting procedures to ensure all required steps are included as well as the supporting documentation to prepare the report is retained. University of Maine at Fort Kent (UMFK) Condition: Two quarterly student reports tested were missing a required disclosure item. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: UMFK has amended all quarterly reports (9/30/2021, 12/31/2021, and 3/31/2022) to include the missing required disclosure item related to eligible students. Supporting worksheets have been updated to include all relevant disclosure items and reported data is verified using queries from both the financial and student information systems to ensure report accuracy and completeness. A review process has been implemented whereby the Financial Analyst signs off on preparation and the Chief Business Officer performs a final review and approval prior to submission. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Megan Desjardins, Financial Analyst for the University of Maine at Fort Kent Pamela Ashby, Chief Business Officer for the University of Maine at Fort Kent Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Completed March 3, 2023 University of Maine at Farmington (UMF) Condition: One annual report tested where the supporting documentation did not agree to what was included in the report. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: We realized the error during the next quarterly report cycle and corrected our internal data sheets, but the federal reporting portal was not open for corrections. Now that the federal reporting portal has reopened, we are in the process of correcting the 2021 annual report. In response to this finding, we have incorporated a verification of data in the spreadsheets used to prepare the annual report and now require a final review by the Chief Business Officer or his or her designee prior to submission. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Christine Wilson, Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management at the University of Maine at Farmington Planned completion date for corrective action plan: March 31, 2023 University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) Condition: One quarterly institutional report was not published timely. Two quarterly student reports tested where the supporting documentation did not agree to what was included in the report. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: As a result of a retirement in June 2022, we implemented additional internal controls for the timely compiling and review of required HEERF quarterly reports. The quarterly reports are now compiled by two staff members, and then reviewed and signed off by the Director of Financial Aid and the Controller?s Office the week prior to each deadline for the posting of the report to the institution?s website. As of July 1, 2022, with the updated quarterly report template and requirements from the Department of Education, we implemented a new, standardized process for gathering the appropriate student data for the reports, and new processes for documenting and retaining the data used in the reports. The reports in question were completed prior to this new process and amendments correcting the report information were made on September 6, 2022, and subsequently posted to the institution?s website.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the Universities review their reporting procedures to ensure that students? statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS and all errors are corrected within the appropriate timeframe as required by regulations. University of Maine at Fort Kent (UMFK) Condition: During our testing of 40 students, we noted five students at the University of Maine at Fort Kent (UMFK) whose campus enrollment date was not timely reported. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Registrar responsible for reporting campus enrollment during the year under audit left the position on August 15, 2022. The errors noted during the audit have been discussed with both the Interim Registrar and new Registrar to ensure understanding of and compliance with enrollment reporting requirements. In response to this finding, the new Registrar has worked very closely with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to correct and update the required reporting dates through the next several terms. They have confirmed all dates in their calendar. The Director of Financial Aid now also receives reporting email notifications from the NSC as an internal control process for ensuring that reporting is occurring in a timely manner. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Sara Best, Registrar for the University of Maine at Fort Kent Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Completed September 2022 University of Maine at Farmington (UMF) Condition: During our testing of 40 students, we noted for one student at the University of Maine at Farmington (UMF), the enrollment effective date did not match the enrollment effective date per UMF?s records. In addition, for one student, the program enrollment effective date did not match the program enrollment effective date per UMF?s records. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Immediate corrections to the reported dates were made upon notification of the finding. The Assistant Registrar runs the ?Student Clearinghouse File? report in its student system, MaineStreet, that transmits enrollment information to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). This reports both the enrollment effective date and the program enrollment effective date. In December 2021 the NSC implemented a new warning code series (1801 ? 1806) that kicks back any inconsistencies with the two dates as reported. To prevent similar errors in the future, a process has been implemented whereby the Assistant Registrar reviews these warnings and makes required corrections. UMF was previously sending a Degree Verify Report, which is a report run in MaineStreet, to the NSC three times a year for May graduates, August graduates and December graduates. We have changed our reporting timeline for graduates and are now sending the Degree Verify Report monthly to pick up any students who get cleared for graduation late. The Assistant Registrar who is responsible for reporting to the NSC is participating in the regular webinars provided by the NSC, to address reporting issues. Person responsible for corrective action: Lisa Beane, Assistant Registrar for the University of Maine at Farmington Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Completed July 25, 2022 University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) Condition: During our testing of 40 students, we noted for two students at the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI), the program enrollment effective date did not match the program enrollment effective date per the University?s records. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Registrar responsible for reporting campus enrollment during the year under audit left the position in July 2022. The errors noted during the audit have been discussed with both the Interim Registrar and new Registrar to ensure understanding of and compliance with reporting requirements. The new Registrar has updated policies and procedures regarding the reporting process and all reporting dates are confirmed in their calendar. The Director of Financial Aid now also receives reporting email notifications from the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) as an internal control process for ensuring that reporting is occurring in a timely manner. In addition, the student records team at UMPI have received additional guidance and training from the NSC.

Management?s Response: In January 2022, during the processing of FSA payroll, the system had a major error that caused for an emergency payroll processing to take place to meet the Labor and Wages standards, so this payroll was processed not knowing that it was paid based on home allocation rather then time sheets allocations. However, the majority of FSA employees were allocated to one department program or grant. Reassigning of location only occur within staffing emergencies within the same program. Due to this occurrence, FSA started to investigated a third-party payroll servicing company that uphold our standard of functional time keeping and allocation and selected ADP. Gross pay information for each employee is extracted from the Payroll Journal and entered into the Labor Distribution. Periodically, time sheet information is entered into the Labor Distribution and percentages developed or functional time which are used to allocate gross pay to each program based on total time worked. The Labor Distribution is used to post the allocated payroll costs to the General Ledger, or billing worksheet, and the related costs then posted to the billing or reporting document.

Management?s Response: Effective fiscal year 2022-23, the Association will follow section 2 of the CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. The costs, for which the benefit can be directly identified, will be charged to the benefiting grant and category. Shared/Joint costs will be charged based on employees? time reported (timesheet and labor distribution), units of services (meals, care management units, number of-participants, hours of service, etc.), square footage, or other method that will result in an equitable allocation of costs. Currently, direct-shared costs for the Child Care and the Senior Services Programs are pooled by program area. The direct-shared cost pool and pooled facilities costs are then allocated to each funder within the respective program. We have immediately implemented a change in procedures to recalculate our Cost Allocation Plan on a quarterly basis, based on using the previous quarter's payroll labor distribution report by program to calculate the FTE for the upcoming quarter cost allocation. However, if a funder disallows a particular expense item, after the determination of their portion, it is applied to Unallowable and paid with unrestricted funds of program or agency.

Finding: 2022-003 Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance U.S. Department of Labor Federal Financial Assistance Listing 17.258/17.259/17.278 WIOA Cluster Subrecipient Monitoring Finding Summary: The County did not formally communicate the required information to the subrecipient. No subrecipient agreement was executed. In addition, no monitoring activities were documented. Responsible Individuals: Dana Aschenbrenner, Finance Director Corrective Action Plan: Johnson County disagrees with the underlying premises of this finding. This finding is due in part to the fiscal agent agreement with Iowa Workforce Development (?IWD?) which does not state that subrecipient monitoring has to be done. Recently, IWD received a finding from the Department of Labor stating that the template fiscal agent agreements imposed upon fiscal agents by IWD improperly placed liability of disallowed costs onto the fiscal agents. According to DOL, IWD?s form of fiscal agent contract was incorrect, i.e., the liability was to stay with the local CEOs. In the wake of the finding, IWD is reissuing the contracts out to the regions to create compliant subrecipient entities within each, and then new fiscal agent agreements will be issued. Additionally, Johnson County will be ending it fiscal agent agreement, and no longer continue to be the fiscal agent as of June 30, 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing

Finding: 2022-002 Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance U.S. Department of Labor Federal Financial Assistance Listing 17.258/17.259/17.278 WIOA Cluster Activities Allowed or Unallowed Finding Summary: The County?s expenditures identified as eligible and claimed under the WIOA Cluster program were disallowed by the United States Department of Labor due the lack of appropriate documentation justifying specific costs charged to the program related to one vendor ? Garcia Professional Services, LLC. Also, the contract entered into with Garcia Professional Solutions, LLC. did not adequately address the required contract terms as follows: 1. Total dollar value of the contract to justify procurement method utilized. 2. Terms for payment to ensure payments are only made for verified services received and adequately documented. 3. Contract provisions stipulated in Appendix II to Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance, including Equal Employment Opportunity, Rights to Inventions Made Under a Contract or Agreement, Debarment and Suspension, and Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment. Responsible Individuals: Dana Aschenbrenner, Finance Director Corrective Action Plan: Johnson County disagrees with the underlying premises of this finding. The expenditures referred to above were expenditures of the East Central Iowa Workforce Development Board (ECIWDB) and not direct expenses of the County. The ECIWDB contracted with Johnson County to provide fiscal agent services. The ECIWDB then entered into a contract with Garcia Professional Solutions, LLC (?GPS?) to provide administrative support services for the Board. Iowa Workforce Development did not provide adequate guidance to ECIWDB as to the DOL-required terms and the terms of that services contract between ECIWDB and GPS did not contain any standards of documentation which DOL later claimed applied to said contract. The County had no input into the contract between the ECIWDB and GPS, nor was the County a party to said contract. Any alleged deficiencies within that contract between the ECIWDB and GPS are solely the responsibility of the ECIWDB Board and/or Iowa Workforce Development. In our fiscal agent role, the County was obliged to honor payment requests submitted to the Board; in that regard we had to make payments to GPS provided those payment requests were invoiced to ECIWDB consistent with the ECIWDB-GPS contract, which they were.

2022-003 Special Test and Provisions ? Sliding Fee Discounts Corrective Action Plan: WellSpace concurs with recommendations to strengthen procedures to ensure discounts for sliding fee is applied consistently and accurately. Immediately, WellSpace will conduct monthly application audits. An audit of 25 sliding fee application forms completed in the month prior will be examined for accuracy, along with their supporting data. All information from these applications will be cross-verified in NextGen. The results from the sliding fee monthly audits will be monitored and reported quarterly at the Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement meetings. Furthermore, WellSpace will continue the practice of conducting skills assessments at the start of the year and once more in July. These assessments are crucial as they help pinpoint staff members who might benefit from refresher training. Moreover, a meeting has been scheduled to finalize the days and times for virtual sliding fee application training. This training, aimed at all staff who handle a sliding fee form, will be spread out over four weeks, with one session per week lasting an hour. Additionally, WellSpace will introduce a sliding fee training video to the new employee orientation. After completing their NextGen training, staff will receive this training video via email. Furthermore, this video will also be sent to all health center leadership to be utilized at the health center level. Estimated completion date: July 31, 2024 Contact person: Shannon Potter, Deputy Chief of Business Service
