On June 8, 2015, the Board of Trustees adopted policies and procedures for federal grant awards which were added to Section 4.11 Annual Audit of the Grosse Ile Township Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual. Due to a clerical oversight, this section was not included in the updated Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual that was adopted on November 14, 2022. The Township has not typically received significant amounts of federal funding in the past. However, written procedures specific to accepting federal awards are required to be documented and updated in accordance with Uniform Guidance, including written procedures for financial management systems, payments, allowable costs, period of performance, matching or cost sharing, program income, procurement, equipment and real property, supplies, copyrights, subawards or debarred and suspended parties, monitoring and reporting program performance, financial reporting, retention and access requirements for records, cash management and payroll or federal time keeping. There have been no instances of noncompliance with federal program requirements, even with the significant increase in federal expenditures during the 2023/2024 fiscal year. Updated written procedures specific to federal awards, in compliance with Uniform Guidance, will be compiled by management and presented to the Board of Trustees for approval and adoption.

Student financial aid programs cluster Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Condition: During our testing of the regulations, one student who was identified as a withdrawn student did not have the proper calculation performed to determine if funds should be returned in accordance with the regulations.

It identifies any student that requires a return calculation in the financial aid management system, and that all required Title IV aid has been returned. The report is generated and reviewed by both the Associate Director and Assistant Director of Financial Aid to ensure adequate segregation of duties and review. This report was run for the entirely of fiscal year 2024 and no other returns were found to be outstanding.

FINDING 2024‐001 – Special Tests and Provisions – Enrollment Reporting Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Recommendation: The University should implement a policy to ensure graduates for all semesters/terms are reported timely. Response: There is no disagreement with this audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Upon identifying this deficiency, Gonzaga University immediately updated its enrollment reporting schedules to ensure timely reporting of mid-summer conferrals. Going forward, all mid-summer degree conferrals will be reported within the required federal timeframe to maintain compliance with Title IV regulations. This adjustment guarantees accurate and timely data submission to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), preventing future delays or discrepancies in reporting. Our new schedule has 9 reporting dates for degree transmission and 14 reporting dates for enrollment transmission in a calendar year. The increased frequency ensures compliance with the 60-day threshold and guarantee that no student will be reported outside the 60-day threshold. We consider this to be remediated.
