Auditor recommendation: We recommend that the City establish policies and procedures for requesting reimbursement of grant expenditures on a monthly basis, including reconciliation of the expenditures and reimbursements under each grant. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Correc􀀁ve Ac􀀁on: The City agrees with this finding. Vacancies in key posi􀀁ons including the Airport Manager and the Transit Director of Administra􀀁on meant that there was not sufficient exper􀀁se in the program areas to ensure that reimbursement requests were prepared and submi􀀂ed 􀀁mely. These key posi􀀁ons have now been filled. The City now has an Airport Manager with substan􀀁al experience managing municipal airports and overseeing federal funding for airports. The City also hired a Transit Director of Administra􀀁on with extensive federal and state grant management experience, and exper􀀁se in Transit programs. The Accoun􀀁ng Officer, Grants Manager and Accoun􀀁ng Financial Analyst posi􀀁ons in the Finance Department have been filled, and the Grants Division is now fully staffed. More robust staffing is allowing Finance to perform more oversight in addi􀀁on to working more closely with Transit and Airport program staff. Filling these key posi􀀁ons and retaining qualified staff is essen􀀁al to establishing a process for 􀀁mely requests for reimbursement, and reconcilia􀀁on of expenditures and reimbursement under each grant. The Transit Division is working with a contractor provided by the FTA on establishing policies and procedures to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements. This contractor is also providing training and technical assistance to the Transit program. The scope of this work includes ensuring requests for reimbursement of grant expenditures are submi􀀂ed 􀀁mely, and reconcilia􀀁ons of grant expenditures and reimbursements are completed 􀀁mely and accurately. The Airport Department is in the process of contrac􀀁ng with a vendor to assist with federal compliance and provide training for Airport staff on relevant Uniform Guidance requirements. The vendor’s scope of work will include helping with developing and documen􀀁ng policies and standard opera􀀁ng procedures for requests for reimbursement, and reconcilia􀀁on of expenditures and reimbursements. Addi􀀁onally, the Airport Department plans to create a Grant Accountant posi􀀁on which will be responsible for reconciling grant expenditures monthly and processing reimbursement requests quarterly. In CY25 the City plans to provide Uniform Guidance training for staff which will include internal controls related to cash management.

Corrective Action Plan from College: This is submitted to Derrick Everhart, Director of Financial Aid, by the College Registrar Brooke Millsaps. In order to correct the need to have a monitoring mechanism in place, the College has taken the following actions: ● Warren Wilson College convened a group of stakeholders to review our exit and withdrawal procedures. This group included representatives from the following offices: Financial Aid, Registrar, tudent Accounts, Student Engagement, Office of the Provost. ● The group revised our procedures when a student indicates they want to leave the College. These revised procedures include the following: 1. Developed a specific chart to determine the classification of the student, the time of year of the action, and the circumstances of the action: See Corrective Action Plan for chart / table. 2. Removed a student's ability to complete the exit form once classes started in order to prevent an erroneous student exit 3. Implemented an Administrative Exit - census verification process . This allows the college the opportunity to verify through roster verification, work participation, and residential status if a student should be administratively exited. 4. As a result of this revised institutional procedure, the Office of the Registrar reviewed and revised its procedures regarding exits and withdrawals to ensure that we are documenting accurate information in the appropriate locations within Jenzabar. This will ensure that when we report data to the National Student Clearinghouse, the associated exits and withdrawal dates are in alignment. Management Response : The Director of Financial Aid concurs with this finding and noted while the College was out of compliance with the reporting timeframe, the College did make a substantial effort to complete the requirements and follow up with NSLDS and NSC to correct the students enrollment.

National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Recommendation: We recommend reviewing the components of the enrollment roster file to ensure the correct effective date is reported correctly for both the “Campus Level” and “Program Level”. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Although the Colleague data is correct, the logic in Colleague used to send the files to the NSC is excluding records when the student is not registered for classes in the month an action such as graduation or withdrawal occurs. In that situation the NSC is inserting default dates onto the record based on the last date of their classes in the prior term. We are working with our IT team & Ellucian on an approach to update that logic. In the meantime, we will implement a reporting solution to allow manual correction of these issues. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Kris Ragozzino, Registrar Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Already in place.

Finding 2024-001 Condition Condition: The change in student status for 25 of the 25 students tested was not reported to the National Student Loan Data Systems (NSLDS) within 30 days or included in a response to a roster file within 60 days. However, these students were ultimately reported to the NSLDS. Corrective Action Plan The Director of Student Financial Services and the Registrar resolved the issue that caused delayed enrollment changes being submitted to NSLDS due to turnover. The Office of the Registrar identified the errors in the National Student Clearinghouse reporting. They worked internally with our IT department to pinpoint the errors resulting in delays in submission to the National Student Loan Database Systems (NSLDS) via the National Student Clearinghouse. The Office of the Registrar submitted overdue files to the National Clearinghouse in conjunction with the Senior Director of Information Technology to ensure all technical requirements are met. These updates and alignments should bring late reporting to zero. As of January 2025, all prior term file submissions have been submitted to the National Student Clearinghouse.

2024-002 REPORTING - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Condition During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Center submitted a report for the funds used during the year ended June 30, 2023. The report submitted by the Center contained expenditure amounts that did not agree to the final amounts reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended June 30, 2023. Recommendation We recommend the Center continue updating its reporting procedures to use the most accurate information possible. In addition, the report should also be reviewed by an individual separate from the person compiling the information. Management Response The grant noted in the finding has since been finalized and a final Expenditure Report has been submitted to the State reflecting the correct total dollars spent. All grants will be tracked within the funding sources provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Education within the general ledger. Grant reporting will be reviewed along with the applicable support by the executive director or another party before being submitted.

Audit Finding 2024-1: During the audit it was noted that certain general ledger accounts were not analyzed and reconciled on a timely basis. Management Response: The Center continued to experience turnover in some key accounting positions. Additionally, there were new programs with new software updates that staff needed to get familiar with. The slow Medicaid Renewal process caused Havoc with the reconciliation process for Several Medicaid, HCS and TXHMLV Accounts. The Renewal Process went from 30 to 90 days in the recent past to well over a year in many instances, complicating the reconciliation process. Management continues to train existing employees on significant accounting issues and recent Medicaid Renewals will ensure that material general ledger accounts are reconciled monthly.
