Finding 2022-01: Reporting Requirements Name of contact person: Nedra Jones, CFO Recommendation: We recommend the Foundation develop and implement adequate control policies and procedures to ensure accurate and timely subaward information is reported to the FSRS as required by FFATA. Corrective Action: During the 2021-2022 fiscal year, the Foundation acknowledges that subaward information was not reported timely, as stipulated by FFATA. Pursuant to FFATA requirements, the Foundation has now implemented a policy and procedures to ensure accurate and timely submissions. Note that all monitoring to ensure that expenditures made by subrecipients were allowable under the applicable awards and regulatory guidance was, and continues to be, handled by the Foundation. Effective March 2023, the Foundation will submit data, as required, within 30 days after an award is received and subawards are subsequently made. All subaward data submissions are and will continue to be reviewed and subsequently approved by multiple staff, across our Legal, Finance, and Internal Operations departments. To ensure compliance with the FFATA reporting requirement, once an award is approved and subaward agreements, over the threshold of $30,000, are executed, the Foundation will employ a collaborative approach wherein the Grants Coordinator (Federal Grants and Compliance) will confer with the Federal Finance Manager (Finance) to review subaward data requirements. Once the list of sub awards to be reported is identified and approved, the reports will be submitted into FSRS. A copy of the completed data for that period, will be uploaded into the Foundation?s CRM, Salesforce, where this data will be housed under the applicable record. Proposed Completion Date: March 2023 and ongoing.

Finding: During a review by the external auditors of the tally sheets utilized by the clubs for meals served and submitted to the finance department for input into the billing system used by the Department of Education (DOE) for reimbursement, it was discovered that an incorrect number of meals was keyed into the system for one club. The number of meals submitted was higher than what the club had originally reported and resulted in an overpayment received from DOE. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The organization, with oversight from Kay Ridgard, Controller, immediately contacted DOE and let them know of the error. DOE made the corrective adjustment in their system and recovered the overpayment by reducing the upcoming September 2022 payment due to the organization by the amount of the overpayment received. There was a complete review of the internal process used in the billing of DOE for meals for each location. The process for submission for reimbursement is outlined below with changes highlighted: 1. Tally sheets sent from the clubs are reviewed by the Accounts Payable Associate (Procurement Coordinator when hired) to ensure that there are no addition errors. 2. Numbers from the tally sheets are entered into an Excel file to give summary totals for the organization and this is used by the Accounts Payable Associate to input data into the DOE system. 3. The Controller (or Manager) reviews the excel file before the data is input into the DOE system to ensure it accurately reflects the tally sheets. 4. Data is input in the DOE system and reports are generated showing the accepted submission that will be reimbursed. 5. The Controller (or Manager) performs a second review to ensure the submitted data match the previously reviewed Excel file.

Asbury Theological Seminary respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Blue & Company, LLC; 250 West Main Street, Suite 2900; Lexington, Kentucky 40507. The finding from the schedule of findings and questioned costs for the year ended June 30, 2022 is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. 2022-001 Finding: Asbury Theological Seminary (ATS) failed to collect entrance counseling on a student before Title IV funds were disbursed to the institutional student account. Summary: The Seminary did not have a control in place to ensure timely completion of the entrance counseling. Institution Response: ATS uses an import tool through ED Connect to identify students who have completed entrance counseling. When the import is received, the financial aid staff manually enters the information into the Student Information System (Nexus) for each individual student. The student record in Nexus is then checked prior to the first Title IV loan disbursement for the student. The Department of Education introduced a new counseling item, Financial Awareness Counseling. While available, this form was imported and treated in the same manner as the other counseling forms (entrance/exit). Financial Awareness Counseling was completed for the student noted in the exception. The staff member reviewing the record mistakenly released loans, confusing the Financial Awareness Counseling as entrance counseling. ATS agrees with the audit finding. With the Department of Education terminating Financial Awareness Counseling, this helps avoid confusing the two documents. To prevent disbursing future Title IV loan funds to student accounts without the proper entrance counseling on file, a new process has been implemented. The Associate Director of Financial Aid, Mariah Shumate, will now cross check each new disbursement record prior to requesting funds from the Department of Education. Estimated Completion Date: September 22, 2022; Responsible manager: Mariah Shumate, Associate Director of Financial Aid

2022-001 NSLDS Reporting Planned Corrective Action: All withdrawals will be updated in NSLDS at the time the withdrawal is processed, and notification is made to the appropriate offices by the registrar. This has not been the case, and it has resulted in withdrawn students being overlooked when preparing the enrollment spreadsheet for uploading into NSLDS. Including the NSLDS reporting as part of the withdrawal process will ensure that all withdrawn students are reported in a timely manner to NSLDS. At the beginning of each term, the registrar will ensure that all returning students are correctly reported to NSLDS. We have seen an increase in students who return, and a more deliberate effort to report these students will ensure that they students are correctly reported to NSLDS. In the near future, the registrar plans to partner with the National Clearinghouse for enrollment reporting. This partnership will involve the use of a report generated from CAMS for reporting rather than a spreadsheet that is manually updated by the registrar.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT & FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS 2022-001 Recommend continued evaluation and enhancements to limited segregation of duties over financial reporting Auditor?s recommendations: While the implementation of these additional procedures is of significant importance and an improvement, we would continue to recommend management evaluate additional enhancements and review of established policies and procedures to ensure risks are minimized as best possible (cost benefit) and to levels acceptable by the Board of Trustees. We would recommend management and the Board?s continued evaluation include, but not be limited to the following: ? Organizational and operational structure of the Foundation and the in relationship to the School. (Business Manager lack of segregation of duties). ? Evaluate more formalized budget and actual reporting directly from the computerized financial management system; limiting the use of decentralized creation of summaries and reports, which will allow for more streamlined reporting of activity. ? Recommend posting of payroll activity processed through the third-party payroll provider to the financial management system on a weekly basis, rather than monthly basis. We recommend further streamlining the documentation for each posting thereof into one source document. Additionally, we recommend payroll activity between the third-party payroll provider and the ledger be reconciled and reviewed on a routine basis. ? We recommend evaluation of check signing authority and adopted thresholds for dual signatures ($5,000). Based upon the current year audit, excluding the renovation project costs, the majority of the School?s non-salary expenditures are below the dual signature threshold. ? We recommend evaluation of use of debit card linked to School?s account. While utilized to a limited extent, management should evaluate risks/benefits (debit card direct access to account funds) against other methodologies (i.e., credit card). Management should evaluate with financial institution. ? We recommend procedures addressing reimbursement of expenditures to individuals for credit card purchases (require additional proof of actual payment (i.e., of statement) and be made only after the transaction/event has taken place and proof of attendance). ? We recommend management review adopted policies and procedures surrounding federal award programs and compliance thereto, be enhanced by additional review to OMB Uniform Guidance and the Compliance Supplement to further delineate procedures directly with OMB guidance and the applicable requirements associated with each federal award program the School receives annually. Based upon our conversation with the Business Manager during the current audit, the Board of Trustees is continuing the process of evaluating additional procedure enhancements, and assessments of overall financial operations, inclusive of those involving the Foundation. It is important that this continue as an annual process and be documented accordingly. Management should refer to the federal ?Green Book? and Internal control- Integrated Framework published by COSO in updating and assessments of established internal controls over financial reporting and compliance. Action Taken: The Global Learning Charter Public School Administration and Board of Trustees acknowledge that the limitations present with the segregation of financial duties are the direct result of the size of the school?s financial operation. We have worked diligently to create responsible oversight measures, and while the Board of Trustees remains confident in the increased oversight that was implemented in the previous fiscal year, we will continue to seek ways to enhance our procedures. To this end, GLCPS has already put into place many of the recommendations outlined in the finding including source document reports from Infinite Visions provided to the Board of Trustees, weekly payroll posting, and an enhanced process for reimbursement documentation. Moving forward, GLCPS will also be revising its policies and procedures guide for both federal awards and general operations to review areas where additional checks and balances can be implemented. The Global Learning Charter Public School Foundation will also be reviewing the composition of its Board of Directors with the goal of creating a clear separation in oversight between the School and Foundation.

Corrective Action Plan The Union College Economic department chose to change the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code to more accurately reflect the degree requirements of this particular major. The CIP code change process is typically applied at the start of a new academic year, but in this case, the College felt that it was necessary to do so immediately. The National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) was consulted to be sure that students would, in fact, graduate in the new CIP code without negative impact to their program. As a result of this late semester change, a number of Economics majors were manually corrected in the NSC and reported as graduated with the new CIP code. In the future, Union will adhere to its standard timelines and processes for curricular changes, as the ?ad-hoc? nature of such changes are difficult to manage. Upon further pressure for resolution, the NSC has now provided instructions regarding how to resolve the students reporting issues. A new file will be transmitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) in early March, once further updates are received and processed by the NSC. Union College will review the NSLDS database to confirm accurate reporting once the file has been submitted. Union College will also perform self-audits to ensure our processes are efficiently capturing enrollment changes and that the NSC and NSLDS reports agree and are accurate beginning with the March 2023 enrollment period.

2022-001 Student Financial Assistance Cluster ? Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University reevaluate its procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes and other enrollment information to NSLDS to ensure timely and accurate reporting. We also recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure all errors are corrected with the appropriate timeframe as required by regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding. The process described in the corrective action plan in response to 2021-001 was developed and implemented in August of 2022. This was after the close of FY22. Therefore, the process had no bearing on the FY22 SFA audit. We believe the effects of the new process will be reflected in the FY23 SFA audit. To recap the corrective action plan from 2021-001: Training with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) online reporting system was implemented. A consequence of the training was that the Associate Director of Institutional Research (ADIR) acquired the necessary knowledge of how to manually change program enrollment dates in the NSC online system to correspond to the University?s internal records. The ADIR continues to adhere to the master calendar for reporting to ensure timeliness.
