Responsible Contact Person(s): Naveen Abraham, Chief Core Infrastructure Services Corrective Action Planned: Ensuring that infrastructure suppliers fulfill all contractual requirements with respect to Commonwealth security policies and standards necessitates a programmatic, continuous improvement approach. VITA has made improved cybersecurity a primary goal and major initiatives have completed and are underway. VITA has established a scoring mechanism, based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), that delineates the necessary response based on the criticality of the vulnerability (critical, high, and medium). For vulnerabilities with a CVSS score of (critical and high), service level agreement (SLA) 1.1.3 is now in place to measure supplier performance and adjust supplier compensation accordingly through SLA credits and RCDs. For vulnerabilities below the critical and high score, in Q4 of 2023, suppliers started providing data in a quarterly report to the MSI and VITA. The new SLAs combined with the reports of vulnerabilities below the critical and high score are used to ensure suppliers’ contractual compliance. VITA’s data shows that patches for software on the enterprise software list are being applied on an ongoing basis. VITA will work with agencies and suppliers if there are any new technical difficulties or questions about patching. New tools are now available to agencies so that they can monitor and verify the remediation of the vulnerabilities for which infrastructure suppliers are responsible. Dashboards have also been provided to the suppliers so that they can review a shared and common vulnerability list. VITA and the suppliers monitor and review enterprise level logs and security events on behalf of customer agencies through the system dashboard and a 24x7 Security Operations Center. The dashboard is available for access by agencies as of Q4 2023. VITA will continue to monitor and improve the security of infrastructure services through ongoing governance, including the requirements of architecture documentation, system security plans, and audit reports. VITA’s infrastructure services group will work with the VITA security group to confirm that the current state achieves security standards compliance. Estimated Completion Date: 6/30/2024

One construction contract, totaling $35,000 was paid from the Education Stabilization Fund grant funds during the audit period. The single contract was tested. It was noted that the contract did not contain the required prevailing wage rate clause. Certified payrolls were not obtained until after the School Corporation was issued an ESSER Construction Monitoring Report in late 2023.

Condition: The College did not have a control system in place to monitor performance measures as outlined in the subrecipient and grant agreements. The College was also not completing any site visits of the subrecipients or requiring annual financial reporting be submitted. Planned Corrective Action: Below are three items implemented to address the subrecipient monitoring requirement: 1. To address the finding of noncompliant subrecipient agreements, Grand Rapids Community College has implemented a new Grants Administration Guide. This guide can be found on the Grand Rapids Community College website. 2. To address the finding of lack of progress monitoring, subrecipient partners have been given monthly metric reports which include planned vs actual outcomes as a means of outlining their progress. The reports also include historical data for each category. This information is broken down by month and to be reviewed with subrecipients on a bi-weekly basis. This bi-weekly monitoring will provide oversight and help manage performance. Each grant partner will submit quarterly outreach plans that will be balanced against planned vs actual outcomes. These outreach plans will consist of detailed information highlighting the purpose of the event, target audiences, and updates from previous events. 3. To address the finding of lack of subrecipient monitoring, Grand Rapids Community College has scheduled formal site visits with subrecipients. Within the meetings they will discuss the following topics: Narrative Visit Overview, Financial Status Discussions, Metrics Verification, Narrative Overview, Participant Records and Revenue and Evaluation.

Condition: The College did not have a control in place to ensure all returns of Title IV refunds were reviewed. As a result, certain student Title IV refund calculations were not correctly calculated and returned.. Planned Corrective Action: • GRCC updated its R2T4 procedure document to highlight the steps needed to be taken so that bookstore charges are handled correctly in the R2T4 calculation. • GRCC provided updated training to the current employees who handle the R2T4 process. • GRCC reviewed all of the R2T4s in which students had bookstore charges. The results were as follows: oTotal number of students: -Fall -- 103 students reviewed; 61 corrections made -Winter -- 83 students reviewed; 5 corrections made o Total amount of adjustments: -Fall = $13,372 -Winter = $1,362 • GRCC reviewed all unofficial withdrawals during fiscal year 2023 adn matched them with R2T4's where required. Once correction was made for $558. This is the same error noted in teh finding. • During the 2023-2024 year (fiscal year 2024), GRCC is performing a 100% review of the R2T4s that have bookstore charges. While performing the review of the bookstore charges, we are reviewing the entire R2T4, not only whether bookstore charges are correctly included. By doing so, we can ensure that the entire process is performed accurately. • Additionally, GRCC will be conducting R2T4 training each semester by way of ensuring that staff who perform the calculations understand the process and the specific steps needed to complete the calculations.
