Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871, 14.879, and 14.EHV Noncompliance – L. Reporting - Special Reporting Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Reporting Criteria: The PHA must do the following: As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, require the tenant and other family members to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility (24 CFR sections 5.230, 5.609, and 982.516). These files are required to be maintained and available for examination at the time of audit. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the reporting type of compliance related to special reporting. The Authority has not maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster is in non-compliance with the reporting type of compliance related to special reporting. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The Authority will increase oversight in the Housing Voucher Cluster to ensure that established internal control policies are being followed accurately and on a timely basis. Gabriela Rivero, Executive Assistant, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2025. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, the Authority included income that was miscalculated during their annual reexamination. Context: Of a sample size of fifty-eight (58) tenant files, three (3) tenant's annual recertification (HUD-50058 form) included income that was miscalculated. Our sample size is statistically valid.

Need Analysis Planned Corrective Action: The financial aid software management system (PowerFaids) assigns tasks when eligibility for federal aid changes. Each member of the financial aid office is assigned certain tasks to review each student and then determine if an adjustment needs to occur. This past year was a challenge due to losing an employee with 20 years of experience in the department, and two new financial aid counselors with no experience. Financial Aid counselors will work tasks related to grade level bumps for additional loan eligibility, annual loan eligibility review, sub and unsub eligibility review, and aggregate loan limit review.

In our new accounting software, Sage Intacct, we have implemented a multi-level approval process to ensure thorough oversight and control of financial transactions. This system allows for the assignment of specific approval hierarchies ensuring that each transaction undergoes the appropriate level of review before being finalized. Furthermore, Sage Intacct provides a detailed and secure audit trail that tracks each step of the review and approval process. This audit trail records the identity of the individuals involved in reviewing, approving, and processing transactions, along with timestamps, comments, and any modifications made. This feature enhances accountability, improves internal controls, and ensures compliance with both internal policies and external regulations, providing a clear and transparent record for future audits and reviews.

Department of Education NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.268, 84.063, 84.007, 84.033 Auditors’ Recommendation: The University must review their enrollment reporting policies and procedures to ensure accurate reporting. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Point University uses National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) for the enrollment reporting process. The registrar’s office prepares a monthly enrollment change report which is sent to NSC. NSC processes the report and returns a file for any discrepancies and potential errors for the school to fix. The school reviews and makes any necessary updates and submits the report to NSC. NSC updates the enrollment information at NSLDS. For graduated students, the school also submits a degree verification file at the end of each term after graduated status is assigned by the school. This file is separate from the enrollment reporting file. The school inquired as to why the updates were not completed and found that updating enrollment status is not part of NSC’s process for the degree verification files. Moving forward, the registrar will submit a separate enrollment report file along with the degree verification to ensure that graduate status is updated at NSC and NSLDS after the school assigns them. During the 2024-2025 school year, while the school was reviewing FVT/GE reporting that was due in January of 2025, the school was able to review enrollment data that had been reported to NSC for the 2023-24 school year and make corrections to that data. Moving forward, the enrollment data is maintained in the new student information system and updated in real time by the registrar’s office prior to the enrollment reports being sent to NSC. Of the 33 students reviewed for NSLDS enrollment status, five had errors. All five students were graduates whose status errors were related to data migration. All five were corrected during the school’s review of enrollment statuses while reviewing data for the FVT/GE reporting, which was done November 2025 through January 2025. Documentation of corrected enrollment statuses with the dates of the certification corrections is attached as Appendix 2024-002A. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Natalie Brown-Motes, Point University Registrar, natalie.brown@point.edu Planned completion date for corrective action plan: FVT/GE status review is completed. School has process in place moving forward for updating graduated students beginning with Spring 2025 semester.
