Return of Title IV Fund Calculations Condition/Context: For two of the six students selected in the sample, the amount of the Title IV refund was calculated incorrectly due to using the incorrect number break days for students that withdrew in the Spring term.

Attached to this document is a new Summer Pell Policy and Procedures that we developed after the Pell finding was brought to our attention this past summer. A mentor from another private institution that uses Colleague (the same system we use) was recommended to our team to help guide us when awarding summer Pell using the Pell Grant Enrollment Intensity formula. We implemented training on the Enrollment Intensity formula and had various calculation scenarios tested by our new mentor. We then awarded all summer term students who were entitled to the Pell Grant award and disbursed aid to those students by the required deadline. For the future, we will follow the newly developed Summer Pell Policy and Procedures. We will engage with the Registrar's Office to determine and verify when students register, drop and/or change courses for the summer term. In addition, running weekly Informer reports will be another safety net for our office when determining Pell eligibility for summer students. The Financial Aid staff will also immerse themselves in various forms of training available to us on all aspects of processing and awarding aid. We will do this via webinars, TASFAA and NASFAA training opportunities, internal cross-training and various FSA training programs. This year, two members of our team are new to financial aid and the remaining two, including myself, are new to our positions and responsibilities. We feel taking advantage of the plethora of training resources available in our industry will be vital to our growth and success while navigating higher education's rapidly changing regulations.

Views of the responsible officials and planned corrective actions Management agreed with the recommendation from the third-party consultant. An entry was made to the financial statements to remove the dollar amount from recognized revenue, and record as deferred revenue, and costs removed from the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. The total amount of questioned costs is immaterial to the program and to the financial statements, however, management decided the entry was in the best interest of the City and should be recognized in a future year.

2025‐001 Significant Deficiency: Working During Scheduled Class Time (U.S. Department of Education, Federal Work Study Program, ALN #84.033) Responsible Officials: Christin Mustard, Director of Financial Aid, is responsible for overseeing campus-based funding, and Melissa Tolbert, Financial Aid Office Manager, manages the work study contracts and training with supervisors and students. Kelly Pennington, Payroll and Benefits Supervisor, is responsible for paying work study students. Summary of Finding: During the audit, it was noted that a student appears to have been paid for Federal Work Study hours logged and submitted for time the student was scheduled to be in class without acceptable exemption, which contradicts guidance provided by the 2024-2025 Federal Student Aid Handbook, resulting in an over-payment of $11. Corrective Action Plan: King University has implemented a new mandatory training module for both work study students and supervisors. This training must be completed before a student is cleared to begin working, and this step will be an annual requirement for all new and returning students and supervisors. The training includes key points from the Work Study Handbook and an assessment test that must be passed in order to be cleared for work. Our Work Study Coordinator is completing individual training with all new supervisors as well as refresher training with returning supervisors. Supervisors are informed of their responsibility to verify the accuracy of all timesheets submitted and to ensure that clocked hours do not overlap with scheduled class time. They are required to meet with their work study students in advance to review the policies and expectations outlined in the Work Study Handbook. Both the student and supervisor must sign a document acknowledging that they have read the handbook. Timely communications and reminders will be sent throughout the academic year to supervisors and students as well. As an added safeguard, our IT department has created a report that compares student timesheets to their class schedules to ensure there is no overlap with class time. This report will be run by payroll or financial aid staff prior to each pay cycle to verify compliance. Anticipated Completion Date: King University has returned the overpayment of $11 to the Department via G6 in September 2025.

Finding Reference Number: 2025-002 Working During Scheduled Class Time Summary of Finding: Students are not permitted to work in Federal Work Study positions during scheduled class times. Exceptions are permitted if an individual class is cancelled, if the instructor has excused the student from attending for a particular day, and if the student is receiving credit for employment in an internship, externship, or community workstudy experience with exemptions being appropriately documented. The University had a few instances in which appropriate documentation for exemptions had not been obtained by the supervisors. The known error is $99 with extrapolation of the error across the population at $3,115. Entity’s Corrective Action Plan: The University understands the federal guidelines and provided reminders to all students and supervisors, via email, that students are not permitted to work during scheduled class times; the reminders were sent at the end of each pay period throughout the 2024-25 year. In August 2025, the University provided a required training session for all work study supervisors and reviewed the importance of compliance with this specific aspect of managing FWS as well as all other federal requirements governing the Federal Work Study Program. Supervisors and students continue to receive bi-monthly reminders of this policy. Supervisors are expected to monitor when their students are working and to know their students’ class schedules. They are expected to request documentation if clock-in times, or any period of their work shift, falls within a scheduled class time. Additionally, for 2025-26, the Human Resource Office is developing a review process to determine that appropriate documentation has been obtained if a student meets one of the eligible exemption criteria.

To safeguard from future errors and ensure data accuracy, Human Resources partnered with Enterprise Application Services department to develop an automated process that populates earnings codes and project account codes based on employee, job record and earnings code. This enhancement streamlines data entry by consolidating it into a single interface, reducing the risk of manual entry errors. Additionally, the HR Technology Manager has implemented a new monitoring report to track employees with multiple salary distribution accounts as a part of payroll process. The biweekly report will be automatically generated and sent via email to HR’s HRIS Consultants for review. The HRIS Consultants will analyze the report, resolve any discrepancies and escalate any issues to the HR Technology Manager or Lead Application Consultant as necessary. These processes will be routinely reviewed, with adjustments made as needed.
