The College reviewed and updated the effectiveness of its procedures governing the reporting of Federal Direct Loan and Pell Grant disbursements to COD no later than 15 days after disbursements to students. The College is reporting the disbursements to COD within the 15-day timeframe to allow for more timely drawdowns of federal funds. Those measures were and continue to be to extract and submit reporting to COD on a minimum weekly basis (with a goal of daily) to remain within the 15-day reporting requirement. Between the 2021-2022 aid years, the College?s Financial Aid department has experienced the leadership transition of three directors, and our current Director is identifying and implementing process refinements to previous steps taken to further improve internal controls. Further, the College has taken steps to both continue and enhance ongoing staff professional development sessions and training. In addition, the College contracted a Financial Aid consultant in the Fall of 2022 for an assessment of our system configurations and processes. The consultant has been retained to undertake a quarterly review of our setups and processes and assist in training the team. In accordance with best practices, Financial Aid?s goal is to continue to eliminate such errors. The findings continue to be addressed.

Finding Reference: 2022-005 Federal Agency: Department of Health and Human Services Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Federal Program: Impacts All Federal Award Programs Grant Award: Various Condition/Context: The single audit report was not submitted to the Office Management and Budget in accordance with the reporting requirement. Criteria: COSO/Internal Control Framework defines control activities as ?policies and procedures that help ensures management?s directives are carried out? This would include preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and the related Data Collection Form in a timely manner. Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.501 states that the audit shall be completed, and the data collection form shall be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after the receipt of the auditor?s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Accordingly, audits for fiscal years ending June 30, 2022 would be due on March 31, 2023. Cause: The single audit report was not submitted due to delays in year-end closing entries, schedules, and reconciliations. Effect: As a result of the finding, SMTCCAC did not provide required information to its federal oversight agency in a timely manner. Questioned Costs: None Recommendation: We believe that the year-end closing process could proceed in a timely manner by adhering to a closing schedule and maintaining timely account reconciliations. Progress should be monitored by management to determine that due dates are being met and required reports are submitted to regulatory agencies within the compliance time frame.

Cause The Home included certain eligible expenses in its Provider Relief Fund reports due to evolving guidance and availability of funding streams at the time the reporting was due for the year ended December 31, 2021, at which time the Home was not pursuing reimbursement for these eligible expenses from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Upon further guidance and clarification of available funds, the Home ultimately pursued reimbursement of these eligible expenses through FEMA. Effect While the Home incurred more than sufficient eligible expenditures and lost revenues to exhibit that the Home?s funds were fully utilized, the expenses claimed for reimbursement through FEMA are, in part, duplicated with expenses claimed for PRF funding. Recommendation We recommend that the Home maintain documentation that ensures they incurred enough eligible expenditures above and beyond amounts claimed for FEMA funding and lost revenue to continue to qualify for the full amount of the PRF funding, even though the expenditures claimed on the PRF reports were also claimed for FEMA funding. Management?s Response If these expenses were not included in the claim for PRF funding, the Home would have been eligible to apply these applicable funds against its lost revenue for the period being reported.

Management?s Response/Corrective Action Plan: The Community Development Department acknowledges that the sporadic nature of drawdowns and their corresponding reports during the audit period has posed challenges in terms of reconciling systems and accurately assessing the financial standing of the City. In response to this matter, the Community Development Department has collaborated closely with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to formulate and implement a uniform set of policies and procedures. These measures have been designed to mitigate the aforementioned issue by mandating a minimum monthly reconciliation between financial reporting systems. Additionally, the establishment of monthly drawdown requirements has been introduced to ensure more consistent and predictable financial operations.

FINDING 2022-004 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: George ann Ewald, Director of Finance & HR Contact Phone Number: (574) 277-4452 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Director of Finance & HR will expand Fund 8700 to include adding line items for all allowable reimbursement costs associated with each firefighter position covered by the 2019 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) federal grant.

Identifying number: 2022-001 Identification of the federal program: U.S. Department of Education Student Financial Aid Cluster Finding: Uniform Guidance for Student Financial Aid (SFA) Programs {III. Compliance Requirements, N. Special Tests and Provisions, 4. Enrollment Reporting ? Compliance requirements (34 CFR 685.309 (b)(2)(i))} stipulates that unless it expects to submit its next updated enrollment report to the secretary within the next 60 days, the school must notify the Secretary within 30 days after the date the school discovers that a loan under title IV of the Act was made to or on behalf of a student who was enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the school, and the student has ceased to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis or failed to enroll on at least a half-time basis for the period for which the loan was intended. The University did not properly provide to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) notification for one student who withdrew or graduated during FY 2022. Anticipated Completion Date: Action Already Taken Person Responsible: Colin Hilton-MacFarlane, Executive Director of Institutional Research and Effectiveness Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness reports graduated students to the National Student Clearinghouse upon degree conferral. The concern about solely relying on a third-party to submit to the National Student Loan Data System was identified in the FY2021 audit with a management response involving reconciling extracts directly from NSLDS to validate that all graduated students were successfully reported (and updating directly within NSLDS for any that failed to be submitted by NSC). The finding in this FY2022 audit occurred prior to the management response and associated business process implementation from the FY2021 audit. The institution remains confident this direct reconciliation within NSLDS will resolve future instances of a lack of timely reporting. This finding also involved a rare case of a student completing a master?s level degree program and immediately enrolling in a subsequent master?s level degree program. The institution believes this uncommon circumstance may have contributed to this specific failure in NSC reporting the graduated status to NSLDS, so although the new business process of reconciliation should prevent the general case of this issue, specific review within NSLDS of students immediately moving from one degree program to another upon graduation will be conducted to ensure no additional mitigations are necessary beyond what has already been implemented to address the general case.
