Corrective Action Required by The Board - The School District was not in compliance with CFR section 210.14 which requires that the net cash resources in the food service fund to be below its three month average expenditures at year end. Recommendation Number Corrective Action Required by The Board - The responsible officials are in agreement with the calculation. COVID's financial impact on the food service fund and ultimately the food service reserves has created this inflated financial position. We will use these funds to continue to invest in our food service equipment as well as upgrade our food options and meal quality, within USDA regulations.

Date: November 11, 2023 From: Verletta Jackson, Registrar To: Moss Adams Subject: Finding 2023-002 Special Tests and Provisions Enrollment Reporting: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Item: Finding 2023-002 Special Tests and Provisions Enrollment Reporting: Significant Deficiency In Internal Control Over Compliance. Corrective Action: The University has updated the status of all students in our latest batch send. That includes and is not limited to all students selected In the Single Audit. Steps/Policies Implemented to avert problem: The process for reporting information to NSLDS through the Clearinghouse works efficiently. The problem in this case, is that the University has always had two individuals with access to the upload data into the Clearinghouse. When one of the individuals responsible for uploading's position was eliminated, authorization was not given to anyone else as a backup. So, when the then Registrar resigned, no one on-site was authorized to upload the already prepared "send". That issue has been resolved and there will always be, once again, two individuals with access to upload. Although the process to resolve this Issue was extremely timely, permission to access the Clearinghouse site was eventually provided. Contact Person: The Registrar, Verletta Jackson is the responsible person. Her contact information is, Verletta Jackson, email Verletta.Jackson@woodbury.edu, phone 818 252 5277. Anticipated Completion Date: Completed as of 10.15.2023

Management will develop written procedures outlining the requirement to use the SAM.gov database to verify that any vendors who may be awarded a contract or submit invoices for grant-funded activities have not been debarred or suspended. Although a verification process was in place at the time of the finding for contractors, the process was not followed to verify consultants. The development of written procedures will include a new form to be approved and signed by appropriate Public Works management staff memorializing the verification of any vendors.

Finding 2023-001 – Error in Return of Title IV Aid – Significant Deficiency ALN Number: 84.007, 84.063, 84.268 Federal Award Identification Number: P007A223541, P063P222079, P268K232079 Recommendation: It is recommended that University personnel review the Return of Title IV calculations and agree final amounts for refund to the refunds made to the Department of Education. A manual review should also be performed by someone other than the person who enters the information into the software in order to verify the accuracy of the calculations and the amounts refunded. Action Taken: The University has returned the funds for the student tested. In addition, the University reviewed every Return of Title IV Aid calculation performed and the amounts refunded for the award year ended May 31, 2023 and has corrected any additional errors discovered. The University has provided additional training on this topic to financial aid staff, has increased the number of staff members who will monitor the accuracy of the work and has modified its procedures by developing a tracking system to add another level of review and accountability. This will enable the team to be sure the refund calculations are performed correctly for all students and consistently applied.

Contact Person: Bonnie Adamson, Director of Financial Aid Corrective Action: The student that was not reported within 15 calendar days as required had several outliers making it difficult to determine Pell amounts. The student had atended another university Summer 2022 and this par􀆟cular university awarded the student’s Pell Grant off of the 22-23 award year. While this is an accepted prac􀆟ce, it can affect the student’s 22-23 Pell Grant eligibility if they transfer to another ins􀆟tu􀆟on. This student did transfer to Methodist University (MU) Fall 2022 and atended Fall 2022, Spring 2023, and Summer 2023. The student s􀆟ll had Pell eligibility remaining to be awarded Pell Grant at MU for Summer 23, but there was a rounding issue (PowerFAIDS rounds up) and this caused a POP (Poten􀆟al Pell Overpayment) situa􀆟on with MU and the prior university. The adjustment was processed outside of the required 􀆟meframe with COD; however, the award amounts were appropriately addressed and corrected. This is a unique situa􀆟on and happens rarely. The Office of Financial Aid will review more carefully when awarding Pell Grant for rounding issues. Anticipated Completion Date: December 15, 2023

Recommendation We recommend updating internal policy over subrecipient monitoring and recommend implementation of effective internal controls and procedures over subrecipient monitoring and tracking that allow for compliance with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and compliance requirements of various federal grants. It seems likely that additional monitoring activities are being performed that are not currently being documented in a central location, and therefore we recommend standardizing the documentation of such activities. Management Response Corrective Action: We concur with this finding and the auditor’s recommendation. The Department is in the process of implementing policies and procedures to ensure proper monitoring of subrecipients. This will also include training for both the financial and the grants departments. Subrecipient monitoring tools, such as excel worksheets and checklists are being reviewed and modified to fit the Department’s needs. The complete implementation of the subrecipient policies and processes is expected to be completed June 2024.

The District agrees with the finding and the recommendations of the auditors. The District has taken a number of steps to improve internal controls and will finalize a comprehensive plan for robust internal controls reinstatement by January 10, 2024. Since the arrival of new Human Resources Leadership in the fall of 2022, steps have been taken to ensure that all employee contracts are kept on file in hard copy and digital. The missing files occurred during a transition period during the hire and rehire period of spring and summer 2022, before the arrival of new leadership. At this time, the Human Resources department ensures redundancy of storage of these contracts, with both paper copies and digital copies of all signed contracts kept in secure spaces. A staff member is charged to ensure these are all filed, and the Supervisor does an internal audit to ensure safekeeping. Going forward, the Human Resources Director will conduct quarterly checks, in May, August, November, and February to ensure all files are in place.
