The Center became aware of a discrepancy between the annual ESSER financial reporting and the quarterly reports during the audit. While the quarterly reports to the CDE were accurately reported and expenditures accurately recorded, the annual performance report was created manually, and reported full allocations per fund, in error during 2023 by the Center’s back-office service providers without review from Center’s management. Upon the Center’s communication with the CDE, the CDE has notified that “according to the U.S. Department of Education for ESSER Annual Reporting, there will be an opportunity to correct the Year 3 report that was submitted in March of 2023. The U.S. Department of Education requires that we submit Year 4 data to them first. This data will be collected in March of 2024. At that time, the LEA should report to the best of their ability, based on the previously reported expenditures. Depending on the previous amount reported, this may mean the LEA is not yet able to fully report applicable expenditures. This will be corrected later. Following the initial Year 4 submission, the U.S. Department of Education will allow for a Year 3 correction period. At this time, the LEA will be able to correct the Year 3 report. Finally, there will be a Year 4 correction period. This correction period will be based on any changes reported during the Year 3 correction period, to allow for a final true up of Year 4 reporting based on actual expenditures.” Therefore, the correction will be made in March of 2024. In the future, the Center’s back-office service providers will be utilizing a stricter rule for cross-checking reports, and will send reports (quarterly and annual) to the Center for a third review before submitting. The Center will also make the correction in March of 2024 per the CDE’s and U.S. Department of Education direction.

COVID‐19 Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds – Institution Share Department of Education Federal Financial Assistance Listing #84.425F Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Finding Summary: The University’s calculated lost revenue was based on average credit hours per semester prior to COVID-19 as compared to fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022. There was a formula error in the credit hours used during COVID-19 resulting in an understated amount of lost revenue from the intended methodology. Responsible Individuals: Tami Lansing, Controller Corrective Action Plan: The calculation underwent a review, yet the error eluded detection during the review. In any future COVID-19 lost revenue calculations, we will exercise more detailed scrutiny. The University was constrained by a predetermined threshold for lost revenue, and we had already surpassed that limit. The miscalculation, had it not been overlooked, would have only inflated that amount. It is important to note that the University intentionally approached lost revenue calculations with a conservative basis. Anticipated Completion Date: August 10, 2023

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The original guidance for missing or incorrect social security number from the Clearinghouse was to reach out to the student and obtain proof of the social security number or enter the student into the system without a social security number. The student was entered without using a social security number and this issue was not resolved. The University’s Registrar’s Office has inquired about this issue and have since been provided updated guidance on how to rectify the occurrence of such. The new guidance provided has already been implemented by the Registrar’s Office. The new guidance from the National Student Clearinghouse allows for a student’s information to be entered with the social security number supplied when registering and add enrollment information. Going forward, this missing information will not preclude a student from being reported.

The preparation of personnel activity reports (PARs), timesheets, or periodic certifications or the equivalent is the most effective way to comply with this requirement. During the current year, the District inadvertently charged resource officers payroll costs to a federal grant, however, it was determined that these payroll costs were not budgeted in the federal grant and should not have been charged to the federal grant. Planned Corrective Action: The District implemented a new summer program utilizing federal grant funds approved by the NYSED. The District charged resource officers payroll costs that occurred during the scheduled approved summer program, however it was determined that these payroll costs were not budgeted in the federal grant, per the FS-10. Since the grant funding period of this grant is still open, the District contacted NYSED to determine the necessary course of action to rectify this matter. It was determined that the District will prepare and submit an FS-10A amending the original FS-10, to include the resource officer’s payroll costs in the grant as it relates to the approved summer program. In addition, the District will review its internal review procedures to ensure that payroll costs charged to federal grants are supported by the proper documentation for each employee and are allowable per the approved budget of the federal grant. The FS-10A will be prepared and filed prior to the June 30, 2024 by the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum.

The midyear 2023 grad file was run against the updated code and the extract looks as the auditors would expect.

U.S. Department of Education 2023-001: NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.063, 84.268 Condition: During testing of enrollment status reporting, we noted that a student’s correct enrollment status and effective date was not reported to NSLDS. Recommendation: The College should evaluate their procedures and policies related to reporting status changes 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. Action taken in response to finding: The College agrees with the recommendation to evaluate the procedures and policies related to reporting status changes to the Department of Education’s National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). For many years, Carroll has contracted with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) for their comprehensive enrollment and graduate reporting services. They become an authorized agent, providing status updates to the NSLDS on our behalf. Carroll has begun a review, using the NSC and their resources and tools, to better understand why the student’s graduate status was not transmitted from the NSC to the NSLDS. Carroll staff will review the resources to ensure our procedures and processes meet the NSC expectations. Additionally, at the end of each term, the College will randomly select three students with status changes to verify that the reporting process to the NSLDS is accurate and timely.
