Audit Finding 2022-003 Condition and Criteria: Institutions are required to submit disbursement records to the COD that are accurate. The disbursement record reports the actual disbursement date and the amount of the disbursement. Institutions must report student disbursement data within 15 calendar days after the institution makes a disbursement or becomes aware of the need to make an adjustment to previously reported student disbursement data or expected student disbursement data. Institutions may do this by reporting once every 15 calendar days, bi-weekly or weekly, or may set up their own system to ensure that changes are reported in a timely manner. However, during testing of the information submitted to COD it was noted that one student out of the 40 students tested where the disbursement date per the College?s records and the processing date at COD fell outside the mandatory 15-day reporting window. Effect: The College is not in compliance with the federal COD reporting requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and required by the Department of Education. Cause: The College changed student information systems and Financial Aid staff during the prior year that caused delays when the information was submitted to COD, as well as impacting the accuracy of the information being reported. Questioned Costs: None reported Context/Sampling: The College disbursed Federal financial aid to approximately 515 students in the 2021-2022 school year. A non-statistical sampling of 40 students was selected for testing. Repeat Finding: Yes Auditor?s recommendation: The College should implement additional processes to review, update, and verify student disbursements are reported to COD accurately and timely. Corrective Action to be Taken: The student?s loans were not processed in COD (only) due to the DRI flag being set at False when in fact it should have been True because her money did disburse in April of 2022. This was an issue that was not working in CNS in Spring of 2022, the issue was fixed in CNS and we corrected the files in COD. Financial Aid performs reconciliation as required, but these students also did not show up on the reconciliation report out of CNS. This has also been fixed per Anthology. Anticipated Completion Date: This was fixed before Fall term began in September of 2022 Name and Title of Responsible Person: Danielle Hodgen, Director of Student Financial Services

Audit Finding 2022-002 Condition and Criteria: A school must return unearned funds for which it is responsible as soon as possible but no later than 45 days after the date of determination of a student?s withdrawal. However, during testing, three students were identified that had officially withdrawn from classes and owed refunds, but the refund to Department of Education was past the 45 day period. Effect: The College is not in compliance with the federal refund requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and required by the Department of Education. Cause: The College does not have an adequate process in place to notify financial aid of official withdrawals and the exceptions noted above were discovered by the college during the review of final grades, which was already past the 45 day period. The college also relies on the CNS import date as a control over these procedures but has fount that the import date is not always reliable. Questioned Costs: None reported Context/Sampling: The College disbursed Federal financial aid to approximately 515 students in the 2021-2022 school year. A non-statistical sampling of 40 students was selected for testing but only 2 refunds were found in that testing. The College does not issue vary many refunds, so we selected 7 additional items for an infrequently operating control. Repeat Finding: No Auditor?s recommendation: The school should implement a process to insure that withdrawals are communicated to financial aid immediately so they are aware of the refund calculations. Most of the refunds are for inadvertent over awards and notification of the withdrawal will assist in this issue as well. Corrective Action to be Taken: Students who officially withdraw from courses are required to fill out a Docusign form that is then submitted to the Academic Records department. Upon receipt of this form AR will process the withdrawal and make notes in Campus Nexus as to the date of withdraw (this is the current process as well). Financial Aid will be added to that process and those Docusign forms will be automatically forwarded to financial aid once they are processed. This way we will be able to make sure we stay within the day window for refunds. Financial aid continues to run the R2T4 report multiple times throughout the term to ensure there is plenty of time to process refunds within the 45 day mark. Additionally, our Conclusive system now has a total withdraw report available. Academic Records will give the financial aid director permission to run that report directly. The director will run this report along side the R2T4 report out of Campus Nexus to ensure we are capturing all students in a timely fashion. Students who unofficially withdraw (students who receive an FA grade at the end of the term) are not reported until the end of the term since students do have the ability to return at any time throughout the term to try and pass the class. The financial aid director has been working with the office of instruction to make sure this process is more clear and to offer trainings to faculty. We have been able to clean up the definition of an FA grade for faculty this past year, faculty have been asked to report attendance in week 9 of the quarter and this has helped with the last date of attendance reporting for Fall 2022- current term. Anticipated Completion Date: Granting permission to Conclusive reports should be completed by April 10-17, 2023. Financial aid shall start running that report in April 2023 once permission is granted. Adding Financial aid to the Docusign process will be completed by April 10, 2023. Working with the office of instruction to clarify the FA grade (unofficial withdraws) process began in summer of 2022 and is ongoing.

Finding Number: 2022-001 Condition: The quarterly report for the student portion of HEERF was not posted on the University's website within the timeframe allowed in one instance. Planned Corrective Action: The University agrees with the finding and recommendation. The University spent and accounted for $75.6 million in HEERF grants appropriately and followed all applicable guidelines. The University also adhered to the various reporting guidelines that changed multiple times during the grant period, with the exception of this one untimely report posting to the Oakland University website. This was caused by personnel turnover that occurred at that time in multiple departments which were part of the process. This situation was unique and has been corrected.

Return of Title IV (R2T4) Calculations Planned Corrective Action: Our process for identifying unofficial withdrawals has been to nm a report through our Workday software to identify students who had unearned credits in a semester at the conclusion of that semester, after the grade due date. We would then reach out to the individual professors of the courses to determine if each student completed the semester or if they had unearned credits because they ceased attending at some point during the semester. If they ceased attending, we would determine if a Return of Title IV (R2T4) Calculation was needed and would complete it if necessary. In preparing for the Al 33 audit, the auditor requested: "If you have online or modular students, please provide a list of students who earned 0 credits or no showed in at least one of the online classes or modules from the registrar." While pulling together the list of students to send to the auditors, we determined that the repo11 we were using to identify unofficial withdrawals did not include students who had No Credit (NC) grades or Incomplete (I) grades. It was only pulling Failed (F) grades. In addition, the report only included students who had received F grades in all the courses for the semester; it did not include students who received 0 credits in one of the modules. The report was corrected and should enable PLNU to identify all the students who need to be reviewed going forward. In addition, we have added to our process instructions to run this report after the grades for module I are due, and after the grades for module 2 are due, rather than at the end of each semester. This will ensure that we catch any unofficial withdrawals in a timelier manner and will allow us to meet the 45-day deadline for any possible returns that must be made.

2022 001 Internal Controls over Filing Reports to Grantors Significant Deficiency Federal Program WIOA Cluster Assistance Listing Numbers 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 WIOA Covid 19 Employment Recovery Assistance Listing Number 17.277 Auditor's Notes An effective system of internal controls over compliance is required to ensure that grants are being administered properly. That system includes sufficient review and approval of significant aspects of the grant throughout the life of the grant. During the FY 2021 and 2022 audits, we noted several instances where reports were filed prior to appropriate review and approval. Given that the FY 2021 audit was not issued until late September 202 , this was a known issue during FY 2022 and will remain a finding in the current year. Due to the lack of timely review and approval, various reports had to be amended and resubmitted to the granting agency, causing delays in the submission of subsequent reports. Management's Response San Diego Workforce Partnership has revised our reporting to include the following data: Preparer Name, Preparer Date, Reviewer Name and Reviewer Date. The reports are reviewed by Management prior to submission with data elements documented and saved on our Sharepoint. A proper review process will help ensure data is complete and accurate, minimizing the need for modifications, revisions and submission of incorrect information. This is in effect as of Sept 30, 2022. The Controller and VP of Finance will be responsible in ensuring this system is followed.

Finding 2022-001 Condition For the reports tested, the Company excluded from patient care revenue the amount attributable to independent living and assisted living related services provided to residents. The Company also inadvertently used data from the wrong period when preparing the lost revenue calculation. As a result of these adjustments, the lost revenue increased from $970,102 to $1,977,744. Additionally, the reports tested did not contain a documented review and approval of the reports prior to submission.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE AND REPORTABLE NONCOMPLIANCE ? U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ? PASSED THROUGH MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, COVID-19 ? EDUCATION STABILIZATION FUND, FEDERAL ALN 84.425 2022-001 Internal Control Over Compliance With Equipment and Real Property Management and Reportable Noncompliance Finding Summary 2 CFR ? 200.313 (c)(1) and (d)(1) requires that Higher Ground Academy (the Academy) obtain approval from the federal funding agency or pass-through agency prior to the purchase of equipment with federal funding. The Academy must also maintain property records adequate to identify and track equipment purchased with federal funding, including the federal award under which the equipment was purchased. During our audit, we noted the Academy did not have sufficient controls in place within the Education Stabilization Fund federal program to assure compliance with federal equipment and real property management requirements, resulting in reportable noncompliance. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned ? This condition and the resulting noncompliance was caused by a misunderstanding of the cost threshold at which federal equipment and real property management compliance requirements must be applied, due to the Academy?s adopted internal capitalization threshold being lower than the federal threshold. The Academy intends to revise its internal capitalization threshold to align with the federal threshold, and to review its other control procedures relating to equipment and real property management requirements to ensure compliance for future federal awards expenditures. Official Responsible ? Samuel Yigzaw, Executive Director. Planned Completion Date ? June 30, 2023. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding ? The Academy agrees with this finding. Plan to Monitor ? The Academy?s Executive Director, Samuel Yigzaw, will oversee the implementation of proposed corrective actions and verify that appropriate controls are in place and understood by individuals responsible for federal program oversite at the Academy to ensure future compliance with federal equipment and real property management requirements.

The estimated allocation will be retained in IAN?s electronic Dropbox files for a period as long as the funding sources? longest document retention requirement. Each pay period, IAN will review the estimated personnel expense allocation to determine whether each employee?s actual time was spent as estimated at the start of the quarter. IAN supervisors will conduct this review for each employee on their team. The supervisors will document the actual grant allocation for each employee on their team, and the documentation will include their approvals. The supervisors will provide these approvals to IAN?s CFO. The CFO will retain the approvals in IAN?s electronic Dropbox files for a period as long as the funding sources? longest document retention requirement. The CEO will be responsible for implementation of this correction. The CFO will oversee the process once implemented. Sincerely, Lakshmi Hasanadka Chief Executive Officer
