Audit Finding Number: 2023-001-Enrollment Reporting: Management concurs with the finding. The College submitted enrollment reports over the past year according to our approved submission schedule, but the reports were rejected due to configuration issues with our student information system (SIS). We worked diligently to resolve these issues with assistance from Anthology and the National Student Clearinghouse. All the reporting configuration issues that prevented timely and accurate reporting have been resolved and verified by the National Student Clearinghouse. The College has implemented a process whereby the Registrar reports graduation statuses at the conclusion of each term to the College's SIS for upload to the National Student Clearinghouse and subsequent transmission to NSLDS. The Registrar will create a separate report of students who have completed a program yet are continuing their education at the College. In addition, the Registrar will generate a weekly report from the College's SIS listing the last date of attendance for drops/withdrawals, leaves of absence, and standard periods of non-enrollment and upload to the National Student Clearinghouse with subsequent transmission to NSLDS monthly. As an internal control, submitting the report will be a joint venture between the Registrar, the Financial Aid Manager, and the Associate Vice President of Education. These individuals have completed all the required training to ensure accurate reporting. To ensure timely reporting, all will receive transmission and error reports, and submission dates will be set on outlook calendars as a constant reminder. Successful report submission will be a required report at the College's bi-weekly operations meeting. William H. Dindy, Associate Vice President of Education

Finding number: 2023-007 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Education Programs: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance listing #: 84.063 & 84.268 Award year: 2023 Corrective Action Plan: College Unbound hired two new positions, a Controller and a Bursar, who both started on 10/2/23 (the role was previously filled by a single temporary employee). Part of the Controller’s scope of work is a monthly review of all uncashed checks. Beginning March 2024, the controller initiated a new process for outstanding checks issued to students. After monthly bank reconciliation, the list of outstanding checks will be forwarded to our Director of Employee Success and Student Accounts to follow up with the students and rectify the issues. In addition, College Unbound is undertaking a project to encourage students to receive credit balance refunds through ACH, as opposed to paper check, whenever possible. The ACH process will increase accuracy, security, and speed of delivery. Additionally, for students still opting to receive paper checks, College Unbound has initiated Positive Pay through the bank.

Finding number: 2023-005 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Education Programs: Federal Pell Grants Assistance listing #: 84.063 Award year: 2023 Corrective Action Plan: As found, the College has policies and procedures in place to report the disbursement records to the Department of Education through the COD system within the required fifteen calendar days. This singular Pell update was caught by the College while performing the year end Pell closeout. The record was corrected prior to the audit, but past the required timeframe. The College's corrective plan for this is to perform monthly Pell reconciliation at the same time as the required monthly Direct Loan reconciliation. By doing monthly reconciliation, we will catch potential corrections within the required timeframe. We enacted this practice in advance of the FY24 year. Timeline for Implementation of Corrective Action Plan: This was corrected in advance of the start of FY24. We will continue to review as noted.
