Management's response to Finding 2022-002 Significant Deficiency- Student Status Changes Response: Bethany College accepts the finding that we have had an unplanned lapse in our enrollment reporting to NSLDS. This lapse is attributable to Bethany's monthly reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse. The National Student Clearinghouse information is submitted through the Student Status Confirmation Report process. The records are then updated with NSLDS. Due to transitions in the positions responsible for the reporting, the monthly uploads were not timely and resulted in sequent errors. Additionally, Bethany has had transitions in other offices that led to some of the identified issues regarding graduation dates and withdrawals. Due to the transitions, Lisa Reilly, Associate Provost of Academic Records and Accreditation, is now a key holder in the system. She had received training from the consortium that Bethany participants in for its database and has been working with National Student Clearinghouse on reports and updating student information. Two additional individuals will be identified and trained to process these reports by June 30, 2023. The institution will prepare a standard guide that will be used in the case of any transitions to prevent this this repeated pattern. The training guide will be completed by June 30, 2023. Reilly is working with National Student Clearinghouse on these corrections and aims to have them completed by March 31, 2023. By December 2023, Bethany will establish an internal audit of the submissions during this period of transition.

Finding 2022-003: Enrollment Reporting Award Information Cluster: Student Financial Assistance Agency: Department of Education Award Name: Federal Direct Student Loans, Federal Pell Grant Program Award Year: July 1, 2021 ? June 30, 2022 Assistance Listing Numbers: 84.268, 84.063 In August 2021, prior to the Workday Student implementation "go live" in September 2021, the University was working with their implementation consultants to help with the initial configuration of enrollment reporting in Workday. Since implementation, they have been continuously making updates to the system and processes to prevent errors from occurring. The Registrar?s office has spent significant time working to understand and refine the way that enrollment status data is captured and processed in the system. The Registrar's Office works collaboratively with partners on campus (Financial Aid and Information Technology) on identifying and resolving issues. After turnover and an extended vacancy in the Assistant Registrar position, the new Assistant Registrar started in July 2022, took over the reporting and has worked diligently to more timely identify and address errors and has noted a decrease in the number of system errors and data kickouts as a result of this work. In addition, in September 2022 the University engaged an NSC Data Specialist with Workday Student expertise to help monitor and ensure that issues are identified promptly and resolved. The Registrar?s office continuously monitors and implements Workday system updates to ensure that our system is up-to-date and staff are informed of challenges that are being identified in the larger Workday community. Finally, the Registrar?s Office continues to work closely with its financial aid counterparts, including their Director of Systems, Reporting, and Compliance, to ensure data is processed and reported within the Federal Guidelines. The last phase of this work is finalizing our review of the process and data related to degree transmission, such work as is expected to be completed no later than May 2023. The Assistant Registrar, James Smith, who can be reached at datarequest@simmons.edu, is responsible for the implementation of this corrective action plan.

Management?s Views and Corrective Action Plan The University implemented two new systems (Student Information System ? Workday, and Financial Aid System ? PowerFaids) that each are an important part of managing our Federal Student Aid. Most of the building and configuring of these systems happened prior to FY22 with the full launch in production taking place for the Fall 2021. Understandably, some of the integrations of these two systems were not able to be tested prior to Fall of 2021 (ex: actual disbursement of federal loans) and therefore, required significant time and effort in the Fall and beyond to ensure everything worked and students were able to receive funding while also building out and documenting required communications, processes, and compliance protocols. Additionally, we had turnover within the Associate Director of Financial Aid and Loan Manager role in March 2022. The implementation coupled with this staffing issue created a one-time set of circumstances that are outside of the standard oversight and management of our Federal Student Aid funds and processes. Please refer to the response to each individual finding as follows: Finding 2022-002: Borrower data and reconciliation reporting Award Information Cluster: Student Financial Assistance Agency: Department of Education Award Name: Federal Direct Student Loans Award Year: July 1, 2021 ? June 30, 2022 Assistance Listing Number: 84.268 As mentioned above, the University implemented two brand new systems (Student Information System ? Workday, and Financial Aid System ? PowerFaids) that each are an important part of managing our Federal Student Aid. During the first month of the Fall term there were significant challenges with the communication between these systems, which resulted in our first group of loans being disbursed in the last few days of September 29, 2021. It is a known issue that any loans that disburse at the end of the month are not included in the Federal SAS Reconciliation file and as a result this disbursement resulted in significant errors. Ultimately, the University was not able to finalize this reconciliation for this month. As mentioned above, the Financial Aid Office was restructured to provide even greater oversight over our Federal funds. Under the restructured office, the new Associate Director and Manager of Loans and Pell Grants has documented all processes, including reconciliation. Additionally, we created an automated report that is generated after the SAS is received and loaded into PowerFaids. A notification is sent to both the Associate Director/Loan Manager as well as the Director of Financial Aid Systems, Reporting and Compliance to provide documentation that the report was run. The Loan Manager reports to the Director of Financial Aid Systems, Reporting and Compliance who signs the completed SAS reconciliations. This process was fully put into place, including signature, for the 2022-2023 academic year beginning with the September 2022 Reconciliation. The Director of Financial Aid Systems, Reporting and Compliance, Amanda Galban, who can be reached at amanda.galban@simmons.edu, is responsible for the implementation of this corrective action plan.

Finding: The Office of Financial Management did not have adequate internal controls over and did not comply with federal level of effort requirements for the Education Stabilization Fund program. Questioned Costs: Assistance Listing # 84.425D COVID-19 84.425R COVID-19 94.425U COVID-19 84.425V COVID-19 Amount $0 Status: Corrective action not taken Corrective Action: The Office does not concur with the finding. The Office performed the maintenance of effort (MOE) calculations in accordance with the guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Based on appropriations and past funding, it was determined that the fiscal year 2022 expenditure level did not meet the MOE requirement. The Office followed the federal guidance and directions from a legislative proviso in the enacted state budget (Chapter 334, Laws of 2021, Sec. 954) and submitted a waiver request for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. The waiver was submitted before ED?s stipulated deadline of December 31, 2021. ED?s website confirmed an MOE waiver request was received from Washington state and the status of the request is currently listed as ?under review.? The Office maintains adequate internal controls and has followed all federal and state requirements with due diligence in requesting the MOE waiver. The approval process rests with the federal grantor, and the waiver has not been disapproved. In addition, the Office has been meeting with ED on a monthly basis and is already consulting with the grantor regarding the pending waiver request. The Office will also continue to work with the Legislature, which is the state-level authority for state appropriations, to monitor any updates to federal requirements.

We determined this understatement was a unique occurrence that made it through our existing controls due to the site?s program and finance leads submitting an estimated benefit amount rather than the actual amount recorded in the general ledger. The Program Manager conducted training with the program and finance leads for the Fort Lauderdale site to reinforce their understanding of the grant program?s local site control policies. At the Corporation?s System Office, we have enacted a policy requiring that all Health Ministries provide a cost center or a general ledger report to support payroll costs that are accounted for separately from a time and effort report. This will allow us to independently validate these types of expenses in the future and not rely on local site validation as we have in the past.

October 22, 2022 Finding Number: 2022-002 ? Reporting Condition: Meals claimed were not supported by count sheets for either breakfast or lunch for the two months meals were tested prior to MDE site visit. Responsible Person: Stephen Grubaugh ? Director of Business Services Implementation Date: 10-22-2022 During the single audit, it was discovered that Bullock Creek Food Service Department meals claimed were not supported by count sheets for either breakfast or lunch for the two months meals were tested prior to MDE site visit. To ensure that this did not continue, Bullock Creek Food Service and the Technology Department worked together to implement the use of Skyward to track the melas served to students. This transition occurred over a few months, as the implementation was rolled out to 5 individual buildings. When MDE came on campus and audited the months during the transition and found a few discrepancies whish were remedied in the software and the claims were adjusted. RPC then audited the month following the MDE reviews and found no discrepancies. Skyward was used for the rest of the year. For the 2022-2023 Scholl year, the Food Service Department may purchase Meal Magic, which is a food Service software that will streamline the recording and reporting processes even more and may reduce the chance of errors even further. Sincerely, Stephen Grubaugh Director of Business Services

2022-003 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds ? Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Recommendation: The County should enhance its procedures and internal controls regarding preparation of the Project and Expenditure Reports to ensure that information reported is accurate and agrees to supporting documentation. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: : New Castle County self-reported the variances in expenditures and obligations due to accruals of costs to previously reported quarters. Such variances can be common with just-in-time reporting. Regarding the omitted projects, the Reporting Portal has undergone several updates throughout the period of performance. These updates contributed to confusion in required data for projects. The omitted projects were included in the subsequent reports after the data points were known and tracked. Regarding the reporting of project obligations, Treasury?s definition of obligation is very broad and FAQ 13.17 allows the recipient to use its discretion to determine when an obligation is incurred. Such discretion calls for the interpretation of several source documents. In each report total obligations were not less than total expenditures nor did total obligations exceed available funding. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Benjamin Morris-Levenson Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2023
