Condition: For the annual report covering January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, a number of the HEERF section (a)(1) and (a)(3) amounts reported as institutional portion spending were incorrect based on supporting documentation provided by the University. In addition, for the fourth quarter 2021 (quarter ending December 31, 2021) and the first quarter 2022 (quarter ending March 31, 2022) institutional portion reports, the University reported the full amount of section (a)(1) student portion of HEERF awarded to the University on the section (a)(3) line, when the amount on the section (a)(3) line should have been the total Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) funding awarded to the University. Also, for the quarterly student portion reports, the University reported the incorrect number of students who were eligible to receive a CRRSAA emergency financial aid grant during the fall of 2021. Corrective Action: We have updated our procedure for preparing and reviewing the required reports, and we have established a team from the finance department to discuss issues that arise. The team will handle the identified discrepancies through their resolution. The team will meet at least monthly, and as requested by the Senior Accountant of Grants or the Director of Finance and Accounting (DFA). The team is receiving training on procedures, guidelines, and terminology to ensure accuracy on completed reports to ensure compliance. The updated procedure is that the Senior Accountant of Grants will prepare the quarterly and annual reports based on data provided in the accounting system and from the Office of Financial Aid and assure that the reported data ties to the University?s records. The completed reports will be reviewed by the Director of Finance and Accounting. When needed, the finance team will meet to handle apparent discrepancies. Approved reports will be returned by the DFA to the Senior Accountant who will then post the reports for public viewing and submit a copy to the funder.

Condition: For 2 students tested, the incorrect enrollment status was reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). For 2 students tested, the change of enrollment status was not reported within the 60 day requirement. Corrective Action: Fielding concurs with this finding and has taken steps to resolve the deficiency. To resolve the issue of graduated students potentially being reported incorrectly to NSLDS, the University will provide additional training to the staff member who made the processing error (in one instance) and adjust their procedures to contact National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to manually update records when a degree is retroactively processed to a prior term at a non-standard conferral date (the 2nd instance). In addition, to resolve the issues surrounding potential late reporting of students beyond the 60-day requirements, the University will correct the timeliness of their reporting schedule so that all files are submitted to the NSC by the 10th of the month if not sooner. The University feels that these steps will ensure that reporting requirements are met, as outlined in 34 CFR 685.309(b) of the code of federal regulations.

Corrective Action Planned: The property team and the Director of Affordable Housing have reviewed the current process and identified any area where additional follow up can be implemented. The organization implemented a new property management software in the 4th quarter of 2020 which has built in reminders for the timely return of security deposits. After a full year of testing; this system reminder has worked in alerting personnel when a security deposit refund is due. A second level of support in this process is being implemented to identify and train back up support to follow up on security deposit refunds should a staff member be out on leave unexpectedly, which was the case at the Galloway ? Countryside Meadows property. A layer of additional oversight for short staffed communities will be implemented. The Director of Affordable Housing will review the move outs monthly to determine if the refund is in progress. The facility will continue to send all refund requests to the Accounting department electronically via email. This will enable the Accountant to start the review process of the refund before submitting for payment. We are confident with the collaboration of the Accounting department that our internal review and utilizing any features provided by the new software will prevent any reoccurrence.

Finding No. 2022-001 Eligible Uses Providing Premium Pay to Eligible Workers As more fully explained to your representative during the audit, the Administrator of this Premium Pay Program was the Health Department of Puerto Rico (HD) who was in charge of developing the program to all Public Hospital in Puerto Rico, among them, the Administracion de Servicios Medicos de Puerto Rico (ASEM). At all times, ASEM followed the instructions provided by the HD. Furthermore, we provided the HD with the list of possible eligible employees, including the information of the requirements established by them. The salary $40,000.00's limit was not a requirement to be considered. After the review done by HD, they provided ASEM with the authorized list of employees eligible for the benefit which ASEM used for the payment. Accordingly, it was never the intention of ASEM to pay this benefit to not eligible beneficiaries, it was only a matter of not providing ASEM with the actual requirements from the Program's Administrator. Should you have any question, please call at your convenience. Paul Barreras Diaz, CPA Finance & Budget Director

Criteria: The Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act (25 USC 3201 et seq.) requires Indian tribes and tribal organizations that receive funds under the ISDEAA or the Tribally Controlled Schools Act to conduct an investigation of the character of each individual who is employed or is being considered for employment by such Indian tribe or tribal organization in a position that involves regular contact with, or control over, Indian children. The Act further states that the Indian tribe or tribal organization may employ individuals in those positions only if the individual meet standards of character, no less stringent than those prescribed under Subpart B ?

Finding 2022-002 Federal Agency Name: Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster FAL #: 84.063, 84.007, 84.268, 84.033 Finding Summary: 34 CFR Section 668.22 states that when a recipient of Title IV grant or loan assistance withdraws from an institution during a payment period or period of enrollment in which the recipient began attendance, the institution must determine the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance that the student earned as of the student's withdrawal date. During our testing of compliance with Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4), there was 1 instance out of 38 where the District calculated the incorrect amount to be returned to the Department of Education (ED). Responsible Individuals: Heidi Balster, Director of Student Financial Aid Corrective Action Plan: During each payment period of an award year, the Financial Aid Office will review 20% of all R2T4 calculations (unduplicated) to ensure accuracy of the calculation and students? earned aid. The Financial Aid Office will use the random (RAND) formula in Excel to randomly select the R2T4 student population for testing. Within one week after all midterm grades are posted for the payment period, the Financial Aid Office will randomly select 10% of R2T4 calculations processed and review each calculation to ensure the correct period of enrollment was used in the calculation. After the end of each payment period, within a week after all unofficial withdrawals are processed, the Financial Aid Office will randomly select an additional 10% of R2T4 calculations (unduplicated) and review each calculation to ensure the correct period of enrollment was used in the calculation. If it is determined that a student?s R2T4 calculation is incorrect, the Financial Aid Office will complete the following steps prior to processing a corrected R2T4 calculation: 1. Obtain screenshots of incorrect R2T4 calculation and print copies into the Perceptive Content imaging system 2. Purge the incorrect R2T4 calculation and leave comments in student?s record for reason of purged calculation 3. Update all Title IV aid awards back to original amounts disbursed prior to R2T4 calculation 4. Run the Colleague?s Batch FA Transmittal Register (FATR) process and review aid adjustments 5. Notify the Business Office to have them run the Batch FA Transmittal Update (FATP) process 6. Once FATP is processed, re-run R2T4 calculation with the corrected enrollment Anticipated Completion Date: January 2023
