Corrective Action Planned: In September of 2022, the Chief Financial Officer left the health center, and a replacement was not hired until a month (February 20, 2023) before the end of the fiscal year on March 31, 2023. While the accounting staff have been with the health center for more than three years, they lacked guidance while the search for a replacement Chief Financial Officer was going on. The Chief Financial Officer who left the health center was the only one who was handling and administering the indirect cost rate to Federal grants but when he left the accounting staff had no clue that the new indirect cost rate needed to be administered. The new Chief Financial Officer has experience in the use and application of indirect cost rates and has cross trained the Controller in the use and application of indirect cost rates. This finding will never reoccur in future. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Frackson Sakala Anticipated Completion Date: 12/31/2023

Corrective Action Planned: In September of 2022, the Chief Financial Officer left the health center, and a replacement was not hired until a month (February 20, 2023) before the end of the fiscal year on March 31, 2023. While the accounting staff have been with the health center for more than three years, they lacked guidance while the search for a replacement Chief Financial Officer was going on. The accounting staff were not trained in HRSA grant reporting and this led to missing the grant reporting due dates. The new Chief Financial Officer is experienced in HRSA grants reporting and has put in place a tracking system for all grants including HRSA Federal grants so that lapses in grants reporting do not happen again.

The finding was due in part to the lack of a process to correctly backdate administrative withdrawals when a student is awarded a grade of W after the stated date. This resulted in inconsistent dates reported to NSLDS and in the academic file. Management has met to address this issue. The Offices of Campus Technology, Financial Planning and Registrar have met to discuss processes in place and create new methods by which administrative withdrawals will be handled going forward. Additionally, management is working with Jenzabar to ensure the dates are consistent with the withdrawal option, specifically the awarding of W grades and the related date of last attendance. This process will assist the University in the following ways: students will be reported on the NSLDS report in the appropriate timeframe, a uniform withdrawal date will be recorded in the Offices of the Registrar and Financial Planning and students receive the appropriate grade as indicated by the official academic calendar. This action has been implemented for the final grading period ending on Monday, December 11, 2023. Management will continue to submit enrollment reports to the NSLDS on the schedule submitted annually, ensuring that any changes to student enrollment will be reported as required. The corrective action plan will be undertaken by the Office of the Registrar, under the supervision of the University Registrar and Director of Institutional Research and Effectiveness, Kendra Woodson (Kendra.woodson@converse.edu).

Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority implements a control to ensure that the preliminary SEFA is mostly accurate so that the correct programs are tested. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: In order to facilitate timely and accurate preparation of the SEFA for the Harris County Housing Authority (HCHA) March 31 fiscal year end, a reconciliation of pass-thru revenues in the general ledger will be performed. In addition, HCHA will make sure to include grant-specific coding in the charts of accounts in order to identify specific and eligible items. The HCHA will also review grants included in the previous year’s SEFA to determine if they should be included in the current year SEFA. In situations where expenditures reported in the SEFA are not the same as the expenditures reported in the general ledger (due to outstanding loan balances, timing of grant awards, expenditures incurred in a prior period, etc.), a reconciliation will be provided to the as notes to the SEFA.

The Purchase ADD has been going through a transition period between personnel, accounting software and audit firms the last three years. As a result, this transition has caused the ADD to continually adapt policies & procedures for correctness. The report to EDA by the loan staff included loans that had been approved in FY 2023 but not yet closed. In the future, loan staff and finance staff need to coordinate more closely what is being reported to avoid discrepencies. Fortunately, all funding as accounted for and used for its intended purpose.

Management Views and Corrective Action Plans 2023-001 – Inaccurate Submission of Student Enrollment Change Submissions to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Point of Contact – Jennifer Spiegel Goldberg, University Registrar, (646-592-6275) Management agrees with the current year finding and the recommendations. The Office of the Registrar has recently been reorganized to create a dedicated, Records unit to assure that limited personnel will be responsible for leaves and withdrawals and who will use internal reports available to quality control data input before external reporting. All staff have been retrained to watch for the condition that led to this error when handling requests, including reminder of University policies and procedures. This retraining took place on September 6, 2023. The NSC Roster and NSLDS will be updated by December 29, 2023. We believe this finding will be remediated in fiscal 2024.
