Findings 2023-001 & 2023-002 Considered a significant deficiency Recommendation: It is recommended that the Township acquire the expertise necessary to complete the year-end accounting procedures, to prepare the Township’s accounting records needed for the audit, and to prepare the annual financial statements including the required disclosures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Action to be taken: We acknowledge these findings and agree that these recommendations would help strengthen internal controls. However, due to the cost of implementing these recommendations, we believe the cost of obtaining the necessary expertise would out-weigh the benefit. We will continue to request assistance from our financial statement auditors for these nonattest services.

Finding – Special Tests and Provisions: Enrollment Reporting – Federal Direct Student Loans, Assistance Listing Number 84.268; May 31, 2024 Award Year; U.S. Department of Education Condition Of the 17 students selected for enrollment reporting testing, 4 students within the sample were reported to NSLDS outside the maximum 60-day window. This was not a statistically valid sample. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions Effective with the 2023-2024 Academic Catalog year, Dean College implemented a leave of absence policy (LOA) and a medical leave of absence policy (MLOA). These are intended as a temporary interruption of a student’s program of study for a semester. In the case of an MLOA, the reason for the leave is for health reasons (physical, mental or emotional). Extensions of a leave may be granted on a semester-by-semester basis for up to two years. Students on LOA or MLOA must notify the College after the end of their semester’s leave to indicate if they are planning to return in the subsequent semester, if they want to extend their leave by a semester, or if they are withdrawing from the College. As noted in the catalog, from a financial and financial aid perspective, both types of leave (LOA, MLOA) are treated the same as a withdrawal and is reported as such to the National Student Clearinghouse. Medical withdrawals and voluntary withdrawals are reported as withdrawals. Dean College also has a medical withdrawal policy and a voluntary withdrawal policy. These are not temporary interruptions of a student’s studies with an intent to return but are full withdrawals and reported as such. Students who later decide that they do want to return to Dean College must complete the readmission application. In this situation, it appears that the internal code used to record students who were leaving for medical reasons triggered a leave of absence coding to the Clearinghouse, not a withdrawal code as intended by College policy. Dean College reviewed all processes related to leaves of absence, medical leave of absence, and withdrawals, including all coding, to ensure that this does not happen in the future. Coding updates have been implemented, and we will monitor students during the Fall 2024 semester to ensure they are reported appropriately.

Finding Number: 2024-001 Condition: The Corporation withdrew a total of $44,190 from the replacement reserve account when only $22,095, representing the 50% deposit, was approved by HUD in advance of the withdrawal.

Finding Number: 2024-001 Condition: The Corporation withdrew a total of $44,190 from the replacement reserve account when only $22,095, representing the 50% deposit, was approved by HUD in advance of the withdrawal. The remaining $22,095 was withdrawn without obtaining approval from HUD in advance of the second withdrawal. Planned Corrective Action: Management should obtain approval from HUD via form 9250 prior to withdrawing funds from the replacement reserve. Management added an additional level of control by requiring all nonrecurring THI-8 spending be approved by Manager of Real Estate Accounting prior to contract approval. Such approval will alert the manager to seek replacement reserve approval, where applicable. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Shijo Joseph, Manager of Real Estate Accounting Anticipated Completion Date: August 4, 2024

Enrollment Reporting to National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Planned Corrective Action: The Registrar’s Office will add additional reporting for the non-standard term to ensure that student enrollment statuses are updated to NSLDS within the 60 day time frame for reporting. An additional check of students that received loans and withdrew officially or unofficially will be done in NSLDS to ensure that dates were entered correctly within the system and transferred over correctly each semester.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the College reevaluate its procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes to NSLDS to put a process in place to ensure the enrollment effective date reported to NSLDS on the campus level is aligning with the College as well as the status changes are reported timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The College utilizes a custom report for enrollment reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), who then provides data to NSLDS. In recent years the custom report has required additional manual updates. Ellucian, who provides the Colleague system that the Office of the Registrar uses as their system of record, provides quarterly updates to the Colleague code. Each system update results in necessary review and insertion of the custom report into the Colleague process. The College’s Chief Information Officer has approved funding to contract with a NSC Specialist from Ellucian during Fall 2024 to review Grinnell’s enrollment reporting process and to determine what changes should be made within the Colleague system to make the enrollment reporting process less manual. This would improve the accuracy of reporting by eliminating the constant review and manual adjustments the current process requires. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Jason Luedtke, Senior ERP Specialist, Information Technology Services Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Spring 2025.

Criteria or Specific Requirement - Special Tests and Provisions - Enrollment Reporting - 34 CFR Section 690.83(b)(2) and 685.309 Condition - Eight student status changes were not communicated to the NSLDS timely Questioned Costs - N/A Context - Out of the population of 312 students with enrollment status changes requiring reporting to NSLDS, a sample of 25 students was selected for testing. Of those 25 students, 8 student status changes were not reported to NSLDS within the required 60 days. Our sample was not, and was not intended to be, statistically valid. Effect - NSLDS was not notified of student status changes in accordance with compliance requirements Cause - The University did not have effective internal control processes in place to ensure the accurate collection, review and reporting of student status changes occurred timely. Recent turnover in personnel resulted in a lack of oversight as well. Indication as a Repeat Finding - N/A Recommendation - The University should review its internal controls surrounding the enrollment reporting process and ensure internal controls provide for the timely and accurate reporting of student status changes. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions - Amy Schlup, Director of Student Financial Services, and Rachel Hart, Registrar, will oversee the corrective action plan. New personnel in the Registrar's office have received training for student enrollment reporting and will submit reporting to NSLDS every 30 days in order to stay within the required 60 days. This reporting will take place around the 25th of every month and be completed by the Registrar only. The Associate Registrar and Director of Administrative Computing will retain alternate access in case of emergency. Error reports will be reviewed and resolved within one week ensuring that accurate information is provided to NSLDS well within the required time frame. The corrective action plan has already been completed as of October 9, 2024.

Condition: The School District does not currently have a control in place whereby a review of the meal counts entered into the Michigan Nutrition Data (MiND) system takes place, which could result in an incorrect reporting of the number of free and reduced priced meals, which could result in the School District being reimbursed an incorrect amount by the Michigan Department of Education. Planned Corrective Action: The Business Office has implemented a formalized internal control procedure for the Food Service Department to adhere, alongside performing a thorough review of the monthly claims reimbursement submission. The formalized internal control procedure will accompany the supporting documentation submitted to the Business Office monthly (Attachment A). The procedure involves a review of inputted meal counts, prior to the claim submission. The Food Service Department Administrator responsible for meal claim input will provide corroboration of input accuracy, as documented by signoff from a secondary reviewer. In addition, the Business Office has prepared a Meal Claim Check Tool spreadsheet to utilize, on a monthly basis, as another layer of validation. The Meal Claim Check Tool spreadsheet allows the Business Office to input meal count figures from the Food Service POS system report and compare against the figures from the claims submission report. Any discrepancy identified would be immediately addressed with the Food Service Department and would require an amended claim submission.
