Sentara Health and Subsidiaries respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2024. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: PBMares, LLP 701 Town Center Drive, Suite 900 Newport News, VA 23606 Audit period: Year ended December 31, 2024 The finding from the year ended December 31, 2024 schedule of findings and questions costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FEDERAL AWARDS FINDING A. Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Finding 2024-001: Student Financial Assistance Cluster - Federal Assistance Listing Number 84.268 - Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Enrollment Reporting to National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Recommendation: Internal controls should be implemented to ensure that all enrollment status changes, including withdrawals occurring outside of standard roster cycles, are reported to NSLDS within the required timeframe. This should include submitting out-of-cycle enrollment updates to the Clearinghouse when necessary. This is not a repeat finding. Corrective Action Plan: 1. The Registrar will create a report that captures students who withdrew from the college to include all students in all program cycles. This report will capture withdrawal activity that occurs within and falls outside of each reporting period. 2. The report will be manually cross-referenced with enrollment data in the student information system. The responsible parties for ensuring this corrective action is employed are the Registrar and the Assistant Registrar of the College. They will be overseen by Cindy Mabie, Assistant Dean for Student Services. Timeline for Completion: The new process will go into effect October 1, 2025. If there are questions, please contact Cindy Mabie, Assistant Dean for Student Services at Cmabie@sentara.edu.
