Management accepts this finding and notes that the University’s policy regarding drawdowns was updated in August 2023 to clarify our procedures to include a secondary review by someone other than the preparer of the drawdown request. “Awards from federal agencies are not paid in full or in advance at the time they are awarded to the University. Instead, the University is required to draw funds down from the federal agencies payment systems periodically to reimburse the University for its expenses on all of our federal grants. The Research Accountant accesses the federal payment systems periodically to prepare cash drawdowns for reimbursement of expenditures on federal grants at the University. The Research Accountant receives a report on all sponsored projects. That list of grants can be used to run an expense detail report for the period of time that the reimbursement request is covering on a monthly schedule throughout the year. That list of grants can also be used to check that our records are up to date and accurate as far as award amounts and budgets are concerned. The payment request amount is calculated as the difference between the Cumulative Expenses as of the end date of the month you are doing the drawdown for and the Cumulative Expenses as of the last day of the period the last drawdown was requested. This calculation is done on each active award and the sum of all of the calculated payment requests is the total amount of the drawdown to be requested. The payment calculations are reviewed and approved by either the Sr. Research Accountant, Associate Controller or Controller. In the event the Sr. Research Accountant prepares the drawdown, the Associate Controller or the Controller must review and approve prior to submission. After receiving approval, whoever initiated the drawdown will submit and certify the drawdown. In no circumstance, shall the preparer submit and certify without first obtaining approval from the Associate Controller or Controller.” It has also been the practice in the Controller’s Office that drawdowns are posted to the General Ledger by the AR Specialist/Cashier as they appear in the M&T bank account which the bank reconciliation process is then separate from and performed by someone other than the person preparing the drawdown. The Controller’s Office also documented Drawdown Procedures in order to clarify the process. In July 2023, the Controller’s Office added an additional Research Accountant bringing the staff from one to two employees to better share and segregate job duties.

Management accepts this finding and notes that payrolls effected were at the very end of the current audit period and that the error was identified and corrected independently in the subsequent fiscal year. To further address this repeat issue, payroll will run monthly payroll queries and conduct an internal audit of payroll. Additionally, the Sponsored Research Office will work with PI’s to encourage them to plan their summer research efforts such that a research project is not included on more than one summer salary request forms. Although management feels this was an isolated incidence, the University will implement a set of controls that require a secondary review of all manuals calculation for payroll authorizations.
