Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. For the Winter 2023 semester, a break of 5 days (excluding weekends) was being subtracted instead of 9 days (including weekends) from the total days in the term, which resulted in the calculation being incorrect for all students who had returns in the Winter 2023 semester. As a result of this condition, Return of Title IV calculations were incorrect for 21 students for the Winter 2023 semester, resulting in $4,265 in excess funds returned to the U.S. Department of Education. It is our understanding that on July 26, 2023, the College repaid the 21 students affected by this calculation error. Auditor Recommendation. Management has already taken appropriate corrective action by updating the returns for the 21 students impacted by the calculation error in the Winter 2023 Semester. However, we recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure that the R2T4 calculation is being reviewed by a second individual. Corrective Action. The College has performed the necessary steps to correct the error and will amend the calculation process to ensure that a second individual is reviewing the work performed. Responsible Person.
