U.S. Department of Treasury Program Name: Coronavirus state and local fiscal recovery fund Federal Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Significant Deficiency, Nonmaterial Noncompliance - Procurement Finding 2023-003 Criteria or specific requirement: Per Section 200.318 of the Uniform Grant Guidance, a non-federal entity must use documented procurement procedures for the acquisition of services required under a Federal or State award. Condition: There was one instance out of 11 contracts tested where the County did not properly follow the Uniform Grant Guidance procurement standards for contracted services. Questioned Costs: None. Effect: By not having the required documentation in the files, the County could have improperly contracted with a vendor that was not considered eligible to be paid with grant proceeds. Cause: The County utilized an existing vendor contract that had not been previously procured in accordance with the Uniform Grant Guidance procurement standards. Recommendation: The County should consider utilizing the Uniform Grant Guidance procurement standards for all County contracts or at least ensure that when utilizing a previously issued contract, the necessary procurement standards are met or completed prior to utilizing the vendors contract for a Federal or State grant. Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding and is implementing procedures to correct this which is further discussed in the corrective action plan. Corrective Action Plan: Procurement will incorporate the completion of a checklist entitled “Subaward versus Contractor Checklist” created by UNC School of Government to determine a vendor’s status as Contractor or Subrecipient. The form, its use and requirements will be included in Procurement’s Process and Procedure manual and all staff training. This checklist will be required as a supporting document for each appropriate procurement/contract record upon approval by a Procurement Manager. Person responsible: David Boyd, Chief Financial Officer Estimated date of completion: February 28, 2024 David Boyd Chief Financial Officer 1/10/2024

2023-001 – Cost of Attendance Calculation. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. Two students out of the 40 tested had an incorrect COA recorded in PowerFAIDS. The error was isolated to the population of students enrolled half-time at the College. The College determined that they did not properly update COA for the year. Subsequent to initial testing, the College adjusted the COA for the half-time students whose COA was not updated for the year. This condition did not result in any students being awarded an incorrect amount of Pell. As a result of this condition, the College was exposed to an increased risk that incorrect information would be used to determine students' Pell Grant award amounts. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College implement procedures to ensure the COA used to calculate each student's Pell Grant is updated for each academic year and reviewed by an independent official. Corrective Action. The College will evaluate and implement controls that will ensure Pell Grant Budget Cost of Attendance requirements are met. The Financial Aid Office will determine Cost of Attendance budget component amounts and School Administration will approve these amounts prior to the financial aid system and school website being updated accordingly each academic year. Responsible Party. Financial Aid Office and School Administration. Anticipated Completion Date. September 27, 2023

Finding Reference Number: 2023-006 Initial Fiscal Year: 2023 Summary of Finding: Significant Deficiency: Exit Counseling (U.S. Department of Education, William D. Ford Direct Loan Program, ALN #84.268) Entity’s Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Plan Summary: Once IT was made aware of the issues, we implemented changes to the process. The action code was discontinued, and our database administrator developed a custom database table used only for tracking Financial Aid communications. This custom table tracks the student’s organizational ID number, email address, communication code (EXIT for exit counseling emails), date/time the email was processed, and the status returned by the process used to send emails. Please note that this status only checks whether the process succeeded, it does not check whether the email was successfully sent. The Financial Aid Department is still copied in all emails sent at their main email address (currently FinancialAidTN@Johnsonu.edu). The Financial Aid Department has the responsibility to alert the IT Department if they are not receiving emails as expected. Once the IT Department has been alerted of an issue, the IT Department can start working to resolve the issue. For long-term reliability of communications, Johnson University has purchased and is implementing a new Financial Aid software platform. This will give us an opportunity to work towards reliable communications, not just reliable logging of process failures or successes. Anticipated Completion Date: September 21, 2023 Explanation: The corrective action plan was taken to resolve the prior year finding, helping to ensure that future dates are accurate. Name and Title of Responsible Person: Luke Edwards, Director of IT.

Ford Direct Loan Program, ALN #84.268, Federal Pell Grant Program, ALN #84.063) Entity’s Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Plan Summary: When processing the R2T4s for these three students the Director looked at the current date on the form and processed them according to the current date and not the date of withdrawal. For these students due to the date difference went from being in the greater than 60% category where a R2T4 was not necessary to now needing one processed.

Segregation of Duties (significant deficiency). Auditors’ Recommendation: The Authority should continue to obtain involvement from its Board of Directors in reviewing monthly financial reports and approving expenditures. Grantee Response: The Authority has tried to maintain as much segregation of duties as physically possible and in instances of not being able to achieve such segregation, has implemented detective procedures as recommended by our external auditors. The Authority believes these procedures will reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. The Authority will continue to review how accounting functions are assigned and consider implementing further detective internal control procedures to help mitigate the risk.
