Finding: 2022-034 OMB agrees with this finding and the auditor?s recommendation. We agree with the auditor?s finding that certain agency expenditures were not reported in the proper quarter and that quarterly reports did not reconcile to the state accounting system. However, the federal report was required to be submitted ten days after the close of the period. The state accounting system was not closed by the time the federal reports were required to be submitted. The U.S. Department of Treasury recognized this and directed reporting agencies to correct and revise prior submissions when each subsequent report was submitted. OMB made these revisions as required and all expenditures were reported appropriately as the final Coronavirus Relief Funds reports were submitted. Although the CRF program is completed, in the future the Office of Management and Budget will review existing procedures to take whatever steps are reasonable to ensure federal reports are complete, accurate and reconcile to the state's accounting system. Contact Person: Joe Goplin, Director of State Financial Services Anticipated Completion Date: Not Applicable. The program is complete.

Department of Public Instruction Finding: 2022-022 Department of Public Instruction Response/Corrective Action Plan: We agree with the finding. Currently, USDA and DOE sub-awards are reported after the obligation or sub-award has been approved by all parties according to the requirements established by FSRS?s website. The Block Award, or the federal award which reimburses for meals claimed, will be reported after the meals have been claimed in NDFoods and paid in Peoplesoft. NDDPI will report the payments already made for FY 2023 and will work with our NDIT programmers to allow us to create an auto-generated report from NDFoods that will upload into the FSRS website according to FSRS?s template. To enter expenditure data by month in FSRS, Awardees are encouraged to complete a template to upload the required data. Unfortunately, NDDPI is aware of an issue with this template caused by the need for a 4-digit extension number. The lack of 4-digit zip code extensions with our rural sub-recipients is responsible for throwing this error in the upload. To complete a successful upload, NDDPI will omit any sub-recipients missing the 4-digit zip code extension from the monthly data or template and add them to the report with a manual entry on the website. The Director of CN and the CN Technology Coordinator will work with NDIT to program the needed reports from NDFoods. The Administrative Officer and the Account/Budget Specialist from the Fiscal Management office will be responsible for completing the upload and entering any manual data. After we have a defined set of steps to follow, we will create a written process and edit as needed. Contact Person Linda Schloer, Director, Child Nutrition and Food Distribution Programs Scott Egge, Technology Coordinator, Child Nutrition Kim Vega, Administrative Officer III, Fiscal Management Leon Rauser, Account/Budget Specialist, Fiscal Management Anticipated Completion Date Begin manual process procedure, 04/01/2023, enter sub-recipient data monthly from October 2022 forward until an automated process can be obtained. Autogenerated process date is uncertain, NDDPI will work with NDIT to establish an automated process as soon as IT?s schedule allows and testing is completed.

Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be written to provide internal control over meal reporting. We recommend the District establish a review process, such as having another individual review count sheets and compare them to the number of meals submitted, to ensure all meals submitted for reimbursement are for the correct number of meals. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation and since the 2022 fiscal audit took place, we have updated review procedures to ensure that all meal reports are reviewed to ensure that they are being properly reported.

As recommended, the Christ Hospital Health Network (the Network) has reinforced internal control procedures regarding the quarterly and annual reporting requirements relating to student and institutional portions of Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) funds. As of June 30, 2022, the Network had expended all HEERF funds received to date and, therefore, remediation of internal controls relating to the Quarterly Budget and Expenditure Reporting requirements is no longer applicable.

Action Plan for Graduate and Enrollment Reporting Audit Finding 2022-001 Issue ? Graduate reporting is completed by submitting a DEGREE VERIFY file and a GRAD ONLY file to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). For spring 2022, the Technology Specialist sent a DEGREE VERIFY file to the NSC on 6/23/22 but did not include a GRAD ONLY file with that submission. This caused an issue with graduates being reported in a timely manner. Also, some students? enrollment status was not submitted to the NSC in a timely manner, to be compliant with the 60-day requirement for reporting to NSLDS. Action Plan 1? From this time forward, all graduate submissions (DEGREE VERIFY and GRAD ONLY files) to the NSC will be completed within two weeks following final grades being due. This will allow time for the NSC to submit to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Within 2-3 business days, the NSC sends an email confirmation to the Technology Specialist and Registrar stating that a degree file has been processed (see below). In addition, the Technology Specialist and the Registrar will attend training provided by the National Student Clearinghouse when it is available, to stay abreast of any regulatory changes or processing changes. Action Plan 2? The Technology Specialist submits Enrollment Reporting files to the NSC, once per month, per the NSC?s schedule. Once rosters are submitted, an email is then sent to the Technology Specialist and the Registrar confirming submission. Once this email is received, both the Technology Specialist and the Registrar will log into the NSC to verify the submission. If errors are reported with the submission, both will then log into the NSC, go to the NSLDS reporting tab to identify errors and correct each record within 10 days to ensure timely reporting. Action Plan 3? To further ensure compliance, the Office of Financial Aid and Veteran Services will run the NSLDS SCHER1 (NSLDS Enrollment Summary Report) monthly and send it to the Technology Specialist and the Registrar so they can identify any errors that were reported by NSLDS for each submission. In addition, the Technology Specialist and the Registrar will attend training provided by the National Student Clearinghouse when it is available, to stay abreast of any regulatory changes or processing changes.

Corrective Action Plan and Views of Responsible Officials The Downey Adult School concurs with the finding and to prevent future occurrences, the school has purchased a new student database management software system that will articulate with the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) in reviewing, updating, verifying and reporting student enrollment statuses, program information, and effective starting and ending dates that are required to appear on the Enrollment Reporting Roster file. The District has also partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse. The National Student Clearinghouse offers no cost services that help institutions meet compliancy, administrative, student access, and accountability needs. The automated reporting capabilities of this new system will prevent human errors and omissions from occurring when reporting NSLDS data. In addition, staff will be specifically trained on how to use the new system to process, review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, program information, and effective dates that appear on the Enrollment Reporting Roster file or on the Enrollment Maintenance page of the NSLDS Professional Access (NSLDSFAP) website.
