The enrollment reporting issue specifically relates to the integrated BS/PharmD degree program. The University's primary operating system, Jenzabar, reports concurrent enrollment status for P1 students and students who have graduated from the bachelor's degree component of the program. Since the National Student Clearinghouse's (NSC's) system automatically overrides the graduation data in the University's Jenzabar report without notifying the University, a two-step corrective action plan has been initiated. The modified reporting process to improve internal controls consists of the following steps: 1. Upload the initial Jenzabar enrollment reporting into the NSC system which will show full-time enrollment for both the bachelor's degree and the PharmD program; 2. File a second report reflecting the date of completion of the bachelor's degree for all students in the integrated program to remedy the NSC system override of graduation data in the initial Jenzabar report; and 3. Conduct a manual verification of graduation data in the National Student Loan Data System to ensure complete, accurate and timely reporting of graduation information from NSC. The modified reporting process is expected to be fully implemented at the conclusion of the 2023-2024 academic year in conjunction with completion of commencement, which is scheduled to occur in May 2024.

Description of Finding: The school did not adequately track its expenditures of federal awards and did not prepare a complete SEFA as of the year end. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The school agrees with the audit finding as presented. Corrective Action: While the school’s chart of accounts includes specific accounts for grants and Title I funds, the chart of accounts did not explicitly list all federal revenue (Title I, ESSER Grant, USDA, and Federal Facility Grant). The school has already updated the chart of accounts to account for all federal funds with appropriate identification of revenue sources. This will allow the school to accurately account for monthly revenue and expenditures relating to federal funding sources, along with accurate monthly financial reporting of federal fund usage and expenses.

Finding 2023-002 Internal Control Structure Material Weakness – Eligibility, Reporting and Special Tests and provisions Repeat Finding 2022-02 I agree with finding The Authority is relatively small with limited administrative staff. Further, the Board of Commissioners is a volunteer oversight board and not a managing board and does not have the time or expertise to provide the necessary services to correct the internal control deficiencies noted. The Board has reviewed the issue and determined that there are no additional procedures which can be reasonably done to eliminate the deficiencies and accepts them.

The Cornbelt Educational Cooperative Business Manager, Pamela Selken is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. This finding is due to the limited number of staff employed in the Cooperative's business office. Staffing the office at an efficient and financially feasible level precludes the hiring of enough personnel to provide an ideal environment for the internal controls. The Administration and Advisory Board is aware of the weakness in internal controls and will continue to develop policies and procedures and provide compensating controls to reduce the risk. We will also communicate this concern with our Board of Directors. The Cornbelt Educational Cooperative did adopt an Internal Controls and Procedures policy on March 13th, 2018 that does address many of these issues, and would ask for consideration reflecting this implementation. This finding will be an ongoing process, requiring continued analysis of processes and procedures in order to minimize the risk.

Criteria: The CARES, CRRSAA, and ARP institutional quarterly portion of reporting requirements involve publicly posting completed forms on the Institution's website. The forms must be conspicuously posted on the Institution's primary website on the same page as the reports of the IHE's activities as to the emergency financial aid grants to students (Student Aid Portion) are posted. This information must also be updated no later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter (September 30, and December 31, March 31, and June 30). The University concurs with this finding and will adhere to the corrective action plan. Corrective Action: The audit for FY22 was not finalized until June 27, 2023. The plan date for correction for this finding was December 31, 2023. Therefore, the plan was not realized due to the timing of completion of the FY22 audit.

Criteria: Under the Pell grant and ED loan programs, Institutions are responsbile for timely enrollment reporting to the NSLDS whether they report directly or via a third-party servicer such as the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Enrollment reporting in a timely and accurate manner is critical for effective management of the programs. Enrollment information must be reported within 60 days whenever enrollment status changes for students unless a roster is submitted within 60 days. These changes include reductions or increases in attendance levels, withdrawals, graduations, or approved leave-of-absence. The University concurs with this finding and will adhere to the corrective action plan. Corrective Action: The audit for FY22 was not finalized until June 27, 2023. The plan date for correction for this finding was December 31, 2023. Therefore, the plan was not realized due to the timing of completion of the FY22 audit. Now that the FY23 audit is completed, the Registrar and Information Technology will ensure monthly reporting to the National Clearinghouse. In addition, the Registrar will determine the root cause is corrected and enrollment is reported correctly. These procedures will become part of the Registrar's Standard Operating Procedures. Responsbile Person(s): Doreen Dixon, Registrar ddixon@vuu.edu 804 257-5845. Kofi Jack, Chief Information Officer kjack@vuu.edu 804 257-5709.

In FY 2020 through FY 2022, the hospital was going through a transition due to financial constraints, hence several internal operations were affected. Even though we have internal policy to schedule Annual Financial audits 90 days after close of every Fiscal year, we fell behind and for a period of two years were unable to schedule annual financial audits timely. At the time when the FY 2022 single Audit was due, we had not even completed our FY2020 Audit hence the delay. Currently, the hospital is working toward getting caught up with the annual financial audits to get back on track with our policy. We just completed FY 2023 and are working on FY 2024. We hope to be done with FY 2025 and FY 2026 in the Fall of calendar year 2026.
