Finding: 2023-003 – Inaccurate Reporting/Lack of Independent Review and Approval of Reporting U.S. Department of Agriculture – Child Nutrition Cluster (ALN 10.CNC); Passed through MDE; All project numbers. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: During our audit procedures over the District's reporting process, we noted that none of the claim requests selected for testing were subject to an independent review and approval process. We also noted that one out of the three reports selected for testing had the incorrect number of snack meals. As a result of this condition, the District did not comply fully with the reporting requirements under this federal award. In addition, the District was exposed to an increased risk that the reports filed could contain errors and not be detected and corrected on a timely basis. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish procedures to ensure that the number of meals being submitted for reimbursement agrees to the actual meal counts, and that all reports are subject to review and approval by an independent employee prior to submission. Corrective Action: The Food Services Director will review and total actual meal counts monthly, and the Food Services Administrative Assistant will review and verify the actual meal counts. The Business Manager will review and verify the monthly meal count after it is filed with the Business Office each month. Responsible Person: Shelley Miller, Food Service Director and Daniel Pena, Business Manager Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2024

GRANT REPORTING RECONCILIATION Department of Health and Human Services 93.788 Program management will implement policies and procedures to ensure proper grant reporting reconciliation. The State Opioid Response Project Manager will reconcile all reports submitted to the grantor to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Beginning FY24, WVPTA State Opioid Response grant funds will be reported on an accrual basis rather than a cash basis. Additionally, the State Opioid Response Project Manager will work with all participating transit agencies to ensure timely submission of quarterly expenses so reconciliations accurately portray expenses incurred during that time period.
Finding Number: 2023-001 Condition: The Michigan Nutrition Data (MiND) system auto calculates the number of full-paid meals after the district enters the free, reduced and total number of meals.

Finding Number: 2023-001 Condition: The Michigan Nutrition Data (MiND) system auto calculates the number of full-paid meals after the district enters the free, reduced and total number of meals. Therefore, if the number of free or reduced meals is typed incorrectly, the difference automatically adds or subtracts to the number of fullpaid meals. While there is review and approval of amounts prior to entering meal counts into the MiND system, the district did not consider that once free and reduced meals are entered into the system, the number of full pay meals auto fills to the number required to match/balance the total meals served. This resulted in the District not identifying that two claims requests undercounted reimbursable meals which shorted the District receiving additional funding of $7,639. Planned Corrective Action: After an in-depth review of the circumstances that led to the incorrect (under count) request for meal reimbursement error, an additional review and approval procedure has been implemented. This will ensure the final meal claims data, including the MiND system auto calculated data reflects the district’s internal meal count data reporting.

The College will implement procedures to ensure accurate, timely, and complete data is submitted. As an added layer of data validation and verification, the reports required for the Clearinghouse and generated through the college’s student information system will be converted to Excel format (from Notepad) with the help of the Institutional Research office to ensure that data meets the criteria required by the clearinghouse and is free of errors. The responsibility to ensure that data submitted to the National Clearinghouse and NSLDS remains with the Registrar’s office at CCSJ. The Registrar’s office at CCSJ will review data for accuracy, timeliness, and completeness before uploading to the FTP Clearinghouse site. Furthermore, the Director of Student Financial Services has been added as a secondary administrator to the college’s FTP clearinghouse account in which he and the Registrar will receive alerts generated through the Clearinghouse when reports have been uploaded to the site. The Registrar is the primary party responsible for clearing alerts, but the Director of Student Financial Services will verify that the alerts have been cleared.

Finding – Special Tests and Provisions: Enrollment Reporting – Federal Direct Student Loan Program, Assistance Listing Number 84.268; June 30, 2023 Award Year; U.S. Department of Education Criteria or Specific Requirement Enrollment information, including the effective date of separation from the institution, must be accurately reported within 30 days whenever attendance changes for a student, unless a roster will be submitted within 60 days. The changes include reductions or increases in attendance levels, withdrawals, graduations, and approved leaves-of absence. It is the institution’s responsibility, as a participant in the Title IV aid programs, to monitor and report these changes to the National Student Loan Data System (“NSLDS”). (NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide November 2022, and 34 CFR 685.309(b)) Condition Of the 40 students selected for enrollment reporting testing, three students were reported to NSLDS outside the maximum 60-day window. This was not a statistically valid sample. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions The University concurs with the finding. The University will continue to remain vigilant in its oversight over timely communication of enrollment reporting detail to NSC and from NSC to NSLDS, utilizing enhanced exception reporting and a structured process to identify any discrepancies in the data.

FINDING 2023-002 – CONTROLS AND NONCOMPLIANCE OVER SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS – NATIONAL STUDENT LOAN DATA SYSTEM Management’s Response The College accepts this finding and has implemented the corrective plan below to reinforce established policies and procedures to ensure SSCR information is remitted timely as well as properly reviewed and approved. Plan South Suburban College's Financial Aid Director will work in conjunction with the Director of Registration to review and verify the Student Status Change Report (SSCR) submitted to the Clearinghouse is cross-referenced with the Title IV students in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). To administer this process control the Financial Aid Director will establish a monthly meeting with the Director of Registration to ensure that student status changes are being accurately reported from the Clearinghouse database to the NSLDS. If corrections are needed within the 30-day window the Financial Aid Director will notify the Financial Aid Manager to work with the registration department to reconcile and update any student status changes. Maintaining the control implemented will allow South Suburban College to remain in compliance with the Uniform Guidance in the Compliance Supplement. This was also identified during the audit request. Documentation was provided that the National Student Loan Data System was having issues with their system reporting accurate student status changes during that timeframe. *This corrective plan has been implemented.

FINDING 2023-001 – CONTROLS AND NONCOMPLIANCE OVER-REPORTING – PELL COMMON ORIGINATION AND DISBURSEMENT Management’s Response The College accepts this finding and has implemented the corrective plan below to reinforce established policies and procedures regarding timely submission of COD information. Plan South Suburban College Financial Aid Department has implemented cross-training between the Financial Aid Manager, Financial Aid Coordinator, and Financial Aid Advisor to reinforce in the case of possible turnover the established controls for processing Pell Common Origination and Disbursement payments within the 15 days of submission window per the required Uniform Guidance in the Compliance Supplement. For instance, the control will consist of one of the designated staff members listed to process the batches weekly. This will allow all batches to be processed within 7 days assuring that the 15-day submission period is within compliance. In addition, the Director of Financial Aid has added a weekly calendar reminder for all trained staff to avoid missing batch processes due to personnel being out of the office or working from home. This control process was executed after positions were successfully filled and staff trained, in the Fall 2022 term. The process has been accomplished in Spring 2023. *The corrective action plan has been implemented. Anticipated Date of Completion 1/24/24 Name of Contact Person Avianca Taylor, MBA

Distance Education Courses – Lack of Formal Process to Determine Accuracy of Student Withdrawal Date In the fall 2022 term, the District implemented training for all Distance Education (DE) faculty members to reduce the risk of data entry errors. DE faculty receive follow-up notifications at the beginning of every term). In addition, the District attempted to conduct random sampling to ensure the accuracy of the data entry. However, the District did not have the authorization or resources to perform sampling during the audit period. As a result, the corrective action plan (CAP) was only partially implemented during fiscal year 2023. In fall 2023, the District secured the human resources and required authorizations to conduct random sampling of the faculty data entry. The District’s Internal Audit Department (IAD) is performing random sampling of all campuses. As of fall 2023, all corrective actions have been fully implemented.
