MATERIAL WEAKNESS 2024-001 Audit Adjustments Recommendation: We recommend that management review controls related to financial statement preparation review at the end of each period. Financial statement preparation should include a review of reconciliations and balances to ensure that financial statement line items are properly stated and classified.

Pursuant to federal regulations, Uniform Administrative Requirements Section 200.511, the following are the findings as noted in the Bay Mills Community College Single Audit report for the year ended June 30, 2024, and corrective actions to be completed. 2024-001 – Status Change Reporting Issues. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing of the Pell Grant program, we selected a sample of forty students to test for timeliness and accurate reporting of student status changes to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Of the forty tested, nine were out of compliance based on the criteria outlined in the Department of Education's Code of Federal Regulations at 34 CFR 690.83(b)(2). As a result of this condition, the NSLDS system may not be updated with correct student information, which may cause subsequent awarding issues or loan repayment discrepancies. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College establish a withdrawal policy to improve the accuracy of status change reporting. We also recommend enhanced processes for reviewing and verifying the accuracy of data submissions to NSLDS. Corrective Action. The College has implemented an Administrative Withdrawal Policy, approved by the Board of Regents on November 15, 2024. This policy will enhance the identification and reporting of students who cease attending classes. Additionally, the College will receive a Roster Response file from the National Student Clearinghouse, containing the full dataset sent to NSLDS, which will be reviewed for accuracy. Responsible Person. Katie Corbiere, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date. June 30, 2025

Webster University is in the midst of an enterprise system implementation, set to go live, June 2025, which will provide the institution with better tools with which to detect and update enrollment reporting discrepancies in a timely manner. Additionally, recently the enrollment reporting responsibilities have been transitioned to a more tenured member of the Registrar team, who is knowledgeable about enrollment reporting and understands its nuances and challenges and is positioned to be more successful in identifying and resolving discrepancies going forward. The Registrar’s Office, who is responsible for enrollment reporting, has also agreed to a system of monthly internal auditing processes so that there are more frequent and reliable checks to compare institutional data against NSLDS data for accuracy.

Finding 2024-004: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) – Material Weakness Condition: While performing our audit procedures, we noted that CAFB included the a $5 million grant from Fairfax County on their SEFA even though CAFB is considered a beneficiary related to this grant. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: As stated in the report, the Organization respectfully disagrees with both the substance and the severity of the finding. In RSM’s proposal to the Organization, the firm indicates that it offers proactive advice to its clients: “Specialists RSM has a deep bench of specialists locally and nationwide available to advise CAFB and the engagement team on issues as they arise. Relevant specialists cover areas such as: unrelated business income from alternative investments, multi-state taxation, Federal single audits, and information technology. Proactive resolution of accounting issues We find that year-round communication and a proactive approach to accounting issues help clients avoid surprises at the end of the audit process. For this reason, we encourage clients to call us to discuss new transactions as they arise.” [emphasis added] We agree that the independent auditor cannot be part of the Organization’s internal controls. In this instance, the Organization conducted its own research into the nature of the beneficiary agreement and reached a conclusion that it should not be included on the SEFA. During audit planning, we discussed this position with the audit partner and manager who recommended that it should be included on the SEFA. Following the resignation of the engagement partner and manager, a new resource assigned to conclude our engagement by the firm disagreed with that position and raised this finding. Had the initial audit team remained and we excluded the grant, we assume that we would have received a finding for its exclusion. As to the severity of the finding, we disagree that the instance rises to the level of a material weakness. Although we concede the amount of the award ($5 million) is significant, its inclusion/exclusion from the SEFA did not impact the selection of major programs and was a singular decision-making instance of an unusual form of award, irrespective of the amount involved. As for corrective action, considering the infrequency of beneficiary agreement awards to non-profit organizations, it is improbable that the Organization will receive such an award again. Nevertheless, if the Organization encounters an unusual transaction or award, we will continue to perform our own research on the award/transaction and form our independent conclusion (as we did in this instance) and refrain from taking actions that might imply the independent auditor is part of the Organization’s internal control structure.Anticipated Completion Date: February 2025
