The required owner certified annual financial report for the Section 202 Capital Advance Program was not submitted to HUD within 90 days of fiscal year end because year end financial records were not completed in time. To prevent this from happening again, management will establish a simple year end reporting calendar, assign responsibility to a designated staff member to track HUD deadlines, and work more closely with the fee accountant to ensure financial information is completed earlier and ready for timely submission.

In addition, the Director of Business Operations will implement a formal management review process prior to submission of each monthly claim for reimbursement to the Arizona Department of Education. This review will include verification that reported meal counts agree to supporting documentation and that all reconciliations have been completed and documented. Any discrepancies identified during the review will be investigated and corrected before the claim is submitted. These procedures will provide additional oversight and help ensure the District maintains compliance with federal regulations and the reporting requirements of the Child Nutrition Program.

We are also actively engaging with the National Student Clearinghouse to identify issues and clean them up proactively.

Identifying Number: 2025-004 Finding: The Academy did not report student enrollment changes within the timeframe outlined by the Department of Education. Name of Contact Person: Alice Herrick, Director of Fiscal Operations; Ryan French, Director of Financial Aid Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Root Causes Analysis: Upon internal review, several key factors contributing to this deficiency were identified: a. Clearinghouse Processing Gaps: Enrollment reporting at the Academy is managed through the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), which transmits enrollment updates to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). A review of discrepancies highlighted cases where: o Student withdrawals were not consistently updated within the mandated timeframe. b. Quality Control Mechanism: o There is currently no established process to cross-check NSC submission data with NSLDS and Student Information System (SIS) records to confirm that all changes were processed correctly. Corrective Measures: To address this deficiency, the Academy will implement the following corrective actions: a. Enhanced Collaboration & Process Review (Owner: FA/IT/Registrar, Deadline: April 30, 2025): o The Financial Aid Office will collaborate with the Registrar’s Office and IT to conduct a thorough review of the NSC reporting process. o IT will analyze report generation to determine if student records that should be included in NSC updates are being omitted due to system logic or timing of data extraction. b. Quality Control Implementation (Owner: FA/IT, Deadline: May 15, 2025): o A monthly QC report will be developed to identify students with the NSLDS status “Z – No Record Found” and verify that their enrollment data has been appropriately updated in NSLDS. o A secondary review of withdrawals, LOAs, and “no-shows” will be completed to confirm their enrollment status changes were transmitted correctly to NSLDS. c. Manual NSLDS Updates for Withdrawals (Owner: FA, Deadline: Immediate): o As a temporary solution, the Financial Aid Office will manually update student enrollment statuses in NSLDS following an R2T4 calculation. o This manual review will act as a safeguard to catch the majority of unreported status changes while a more automated verification process is developed. Future Process Improvements & Next Steps a. Automated Data Integrity Checks (Owner: IT, Deadline: June 30, 2025): o IT will determine whether a custom “NSLDS Status” flag can be implemented in the Academy’s SIS to help identify students whose records do not agree with NSLDS or the NSC report. b. Ongoing Compliance Monitoring (Owner: FA/IT/Registrar, Deadline: July 30, 2025): o Academy staff from the Registrar’s Office, Financial Aid, and IT will meet to discuss and document NSC reporting best practices – Internal Procedures, Operational Workflow, Compliance and QC Measures. o A bi-annual audit of enrollment reporting timeliness will be conducted to ensure continued compliance. Conclusion: Maine Maritime Academy is committed to ensuring compliance with U.S. Department of Education regulations and providing accurate and appropriate financial aid awards to students. The corrective actions outlined in this plan address the deficiencies identified in the Uniform Guidance audit and aim to prevent similar issues in the future. The corrective action above for student enrollment was underway during the fiscal year 2025 period under audit. We appreciate the audit findings and remain dedicated to continuous improvement in our financial aid procedures.

Heading Home management is in agreement with this finding. After years of turnover in key management positions steps have been taken to address staffing challenges and these positions have been successfully staffed with high-quality individuals who bring extensive knowledge and expertise to their roles. These positions include a new Chief Executive Officer, Director of Operations, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Human Resources. To address challenges in accounting and finance Heading Home had contracted with a local CPA firm specializing in nonprofit accounting and financial reporting to assist the CFO with daily accounting tasks, the monthly close, financial reporting to management and the board of directors, and to facilitate and ensure audits are completed timely each year. The new management group is committed to maintaining a skilled and competent team in key financial roles. Due to the backlog of billings at the opening of FY24, the quarterly reports for the first quarter were submitted late. With the new staff and assistance, these billings and quarterly reports were brought current as quickly as possible. They are now current and being submitted in a timely manner. Management’s corrective action plan was fully implemented by June 30, 2025, and anticipate that there will be no further issues.

U.S. Department of Education 2025-005: Special Tests and Provisions - NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Student Financial Aid Cluster -Assistance Listing No. 84.063, 84.268 Condition: Enrollment status changes were either not reported to NSLDS within 60 days or did not match the College's records for a portion of the sampled students. Recommendation: The institution should evaluate their procedures and policies related to reporting status changes and effective dates to NSLDS and enhance as deemed necessary to ensure that accurate information is reported to NSLDS. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding : There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The Institution acknowledges that while reporting was completed within a timely manner by HCC, NSC did not update within the time allotted to be compliant. HCC remains committed to continuous improvement and compliance. Action taken in response to finding: As noted in the prior year's response, the College committed to full implementation of corrective actions by June 30, 2026, aligned with the conclusion of the 2025-2026 academic year. The institution is currently and actively working on the corrective action plan previously submitted. Actions underway or in progress include: Formal clarification of interdepartmental roles and responsibilities, establishing the Records, Registration and Veteran's Affairs (RRVA) as the primary enrollment reporting authority, with defined review and compliance support from Financial Aid Services. Enhanced reconciliation and quality control procedures, including routine cross-checks between RRVA and Financial Aid Services records prior to each enrollment reporting submission. Standardized review protocols for program-level enrollment changes, including graduates, withdrawals, and subsequent reenrollments in different academic programs. Ongoing monitoring and documentation of NSC errors and warning reports, with timely resolution and escalation when discrepancies appear to originate outside of the College's student information systems. Targeted training for RRVA and Financial Aid staff on enrollment reporting regulations, NSLDS requirements, and audit-risk mitigation. The College believes these actions, coupled with existing reporting practices, sufficiently address the concerns raised and will further strengthen enrollment reporting accuracy and documentation. Full implementation of the corrective action plan remains on schedule for completion by June 30, 2026, as originally committed.
