Planned Corrective Action: I acknowledge the identified instance where supervisory approval was not obtained for a documented personnel expense. We have taken immediate steps to address this issue by implementing a more robust process to ensure that all personnel expense documentation is reviewed and approved by a supervisory-level employee before submission. Additionally, we will reinforce this practice through staff training and remind supervisors of their responsibility to approve all personnel expense reports. We are committed to maintaining strong internal controls, and we will monitor the implementation of this process to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of unallowable costs in the future.

Finding #2024-002: #84.184X - Wisconsin Well Be's School-Based Mental Health Consortium Federal Grantor Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Subrecipient Monitoring Condition:During our audit procedures, it was determined that although the District did sufficiently monitor subrecipient awards, there was no formal written agreement between the District and the subrecipient to document the terms and conditions of the subrecipient awards. Effect: The District's system of monitoring is not formal or uniform which could result in misunderstandings and miscommunication between the District and the subrecipients. Cause: The District does not have a formal written agreement between the District and the sub-recipients. Criteria: It is necessary under the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly called "Uniform Guidance") and under most federal grant agreements that any federal funds passed through to a subrecipient be appropriately monitored and that the subrecipient is properly informed of the grant requirements. Recommendation: We recommend that the District have written agreements signed by all parties that fully explain the federal grant requirements and include other appropriate language to protect the District and to further document the District's compliance regarding subrecipient monitoring. Response:The District will implement a formal written agreement between the District and subrecipients. Randolph School District's Corrective Action Plan: The District will implement a formal written agreement between the District and subrecipients and establish a District policy for subrecipient monitoring.

Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matters Compliance Requirement: Special tests and Provisions - Enrollment Corrective Action Plan: The Admissions and Records Office is currently responsible for reporting student enrollment to National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Once enrollment is validated and certified, it is reported directly to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Grayson College does not report enrollment directly in NSLDS. The OFA requests a copy of the validated and certified NSC enrollment report from the Admissions and Records Office to double check accuracy by performing a random selection of students to confirm they have been reported correctly in NSLDS. If, for some reason, a student’s enrollment is not correct in NSLDS, the OFA contacts NSC to get an understanding as to why it is not reported correctly to NSLDS. This happens after each validated and certified cycle, including all module terms (8-week and mini-mester). The College is investigating how to conduct a batch validation, which will be more robust than the sampling method. GC Financial Aid staff have received additional training and understand the importance of V4 and V5 verification coupled with accurate reporting to the NSLDS. They are committed to making sure these actions as stated occur each semester. Name of Contact Persons: Carolyn Kasdorf - Vice President of Business Services. Stephanie Martin - Director of Financial Aid and Veteran Services Projected Completion Date: 2025
