To eliminate student data input errors, the following corrective actions will be implemented: 1. For TRiO SSS program, the University will automate student data information migration from the existing ERP Banner system into the program database.  This database automation/migration will minimize student data entry points that are currently keyed in manually. Each of the TRIO programs will perform additional reviews on the student data.  The following procedures will be implemented: For all data entered manually into a program’s database, the data will be reviewed by the person who keyed in the data or a separate individual based on staffing availability. The individual will review the data input for accuracy and sign off indicating the data has been reviewed and is correct. Every month each program’s PD will pull a random sample of 25 student records for error verification.  If a single data error is found in a program, then the random sample will be expanded by another 25 student records.  If an additional data error is found, all the remaining new student records entered that month will be verified by the PD. All errors identified will be corrected before submission of the APR. For all programs, error message reports and subsequent data revisions will be printed, saved, and reviewed by the PDs to verify accuracy of corrections.

Condition: Quarterly expenditure reports for the projects expenditures were not timely filed for ESSER II D2 (4 of 4 quarters required), ESSER I (1 of 1 quarters required), and ESSER II ST (1 of 1 quarters required). Plan: To avoid this reporting and internal control issue, the District should schedule the due dates of all expenditure reports in order to avoid late filings. Anticipated Date of Completion: June 30, 2024 Name of Contact Person: Lisa Schuenke, Assistant Superintendent of Finance and Human Resources Management Response: This District is aware of the issue and has determined that the majority of the problem occurs when a grant is first approved, and the first reporting period is missed or if a grant continues into subsequent project years. Management has found a dashboard within IWAS that has a listing of all grants by project year and dates that the grants and budgets are approved that will help determine when the first expenditure reports are due. Additionally, management will work on a process to ensure that expenditure reports are no longer missed or filed late.

2023-002: Late Return of Title IV Credit Balance - Student Financial Aid Cluster Assistance Listing #s 84.007, 84.033, 84.038, 84.063, 84.268, 84.379, 93.264- Grant Period - Year Ended June 30, 2023 Condition Found: During our Credit Balance testing, we noted that the University did not return the credit balances for two out of forty students we tested within the required time frame. We consider the untimely return of credit balance to the students accounts to be a significant deficiency to the Special Tests and Provisions Compliance Requirement. Corrective Action Plan - The refund date is calculated manually. There was a miscommunication in the department and refunds were processed at 16 days instead of the required 14. Staff have been retrained and will start the refund process sooner. Responsible Person for Corrective Action Plan - Karrie Mallo, Director of Student Accounts Implementation Date of Corrective Action Plan - Action has already been completed. Staff have been retrained. The Director of Student Accounts will review all calculated refund dates.

2023-001: Improper Return of Title IV Financial Aid - Student Financial Aid Cluster Assistance Listing #s 84.007, 84.033, 84.038, 84.063, 84.268, 84.379, 93.264 - Grant Period - Year Ended June 30, 2023 Condition Found: During our Return of Title IV Fund testing, we noted that the University did not calculate properly or return Title IV Student Financial Aid in the required time frame for two out of twenty-five students we tested. We consider the untimely returns and incorrect calculations of the Return of Title IV to be an instance of noncompliance to the Special Tests and Provisions Compliance Requirement. This is also a repeat finding reported in Section IV Prior Year Financial Statement and Federal Award findings as 2022-001. Corrective Action Plan Action has already been completed. In both cases, the calculation was complete timely, but there were errors in the calculation. When the errors were identified, both calculations were purged and recalculated and the correct funds were returned. Manager currently reviews all refund calculations to ensure accurate calculations and will continue that practice to ensure compliance.

Finding 2023-005: Late Reporting and Noncompliance with Reporting Requirements Name of Contact Person: Melinda Bass, Business Manager Corrective Action Plan: The preliminary audit states that each school district must submit an Impact Aid application annually by January 31 at 11:59pm Eastern Time. During Altman, Rogers & Co.’s review of CCSD’s FY 24 application, Altman, Rogers & Co. notes a significant deficiency because CCSD’s application was not submitted until February 1, 2023. CCSD discovered there was a discrepancy with the instructions for our FY 24 Impact Aid application between what was provided on the Impact Aid website for Section 7003 Application Instructions and a slide presentation that the U.S. Department of Education developed for Impact Aid Applications. CCSD’s Business Manager, Melinda Bass, followed the instructions on the Impact Aid website that stated that Impact Aid applications will be placed in a “Waiting Signature” status and the LEA user will be notified by email that they would have a task waiting. CCSD Business Manager, Melinda Bass, followed these instructions and then unfortunately discovered the discrepancy between the website and slide presentation. CCSD submitted our FY 24 Impact Aid application on time by the January 31 deadline, however, because we were waiting for email confirmation, the application wasn’t signed by the January 31 deadline and was signed on February 1. CCSD disagrees with this item being considered a significant deficiency. Moving forward, CCSD will ensure all Impact Aid applications are submitted and signed by the January 31 deadline.

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.

The Southern States Energy Board respectfully submits the following corrective action plan to incorporate a revision to our FY2023 policies and procedures that would provide additional tracking for the FSRS reporting requirement for subawards. The single finding is identified and discussed below. Finding-Federal Award Finding: 2023 – 001 Improve Controls over Transparency Act Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Other Matters Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Energy Federal Program Name: Transportation of Transuranic Wastes to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Assistance Listing Number: 81.106 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: DE-EM0005215 - 2020 Award Period: 7/01/2020 – 6/30/2025 Budget Period: 07/01/2022-06/30/2023 Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the isolated audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management developed a checklist for subaward amendments, prior to the receipt of the finding and upon identification that this report had been overlooked for Budget Period 3 for award DE-EM0005215-2020. Effective immediately, funds obligated to subawardees through subaward agreements, will be reported per the grant requirement to the FSRS and recognized in the FFATA Financial Reporting system. The project identified is a five-year project and the first two Budget Periods were submitted in a timely manner as per the project’s reporting requirements. Due to the nature of this award being incrementally funded, obligations to subawards are continuous throughout each budget period as funds are designated by the prime award. Therefore, the typical quarterly reporting system controls did not trigger management to complete this along with all the other financial and technical quarterly and annual submissions. Therefore, the FY2023 FSRS reporting requirement for this project was overlooked due to unusual timeliness of sub modifications and the workload of the accounting department. With the revised tracking/checklist for each subaward that includes modifications for incremental funding, this will no longer be an issue. Management would also like to note that all other reporting requirements were submitted on time and consistent with financial reporting requirements and that this was an isolated issue within Budget Period 3 for award DE-EM0005215-2020. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Leigh Hawkins, Assistant Director of Business Operations, and Kathy Sammons, Director of Business Operations. Current Status: The planned completion date for corrective action plan is September 30, 2023. All submissions were completed prior to the final audit report completion. Therefore, management considers this issue fully corrected.
