FY 2022 SFA Audit Corrective Action Plan Audit Firm: RSM US LLP 30 S Wacker Drive, Suite 3300 Chicago, IL 60606 Audit Period: 1/1/2022 ? 12/31/2022 Comments on Findings and Recommendations: Finding 2022-001 ? Error in Reporting for NSLDS Finding: Herzing University did not properly report the student enrollment change for a student who received federal student aid to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Condition: The University did not report a student?s Program-Level or Campus-Level enrollment status change to NSLDS. Out of the 60 students tested, we noted 1 student (1.7%) whose status change at the Program-Level and Campus-Level was not reported to NSLDS. Action Taken: In this instance, the student identified was withdrawn from the University and was correctly reported to NSLDS as such through our standard enrollment reporting processes. The student then subsequently re-enrolled at the University in the subsequent academic period becoming an Active student, and then withdrew again prior to our next standard enrollment reporting process occurring (one month after the previously reported withdrawn status). At the point of the second standard enrollment reporting timeframe, the student status was once again withdrawn, therefore an update did not occur to their enrollment status. Our process did not have a mechanism to identify the student changing statuses in between those reporting periods so that the active enrollment status was reported and then changed back to withdrawn versus simply staying at a withdrawn status. In August 2022, Herzing University updated our enrollment reporting policy to send in enrollment reporting biweekly instead of monthly. This was done to ensure that each student?s enrollment status was accurately reported as soon as possible and to prevent issues that occur from delays in proper enrollment statuses being reported to NSLDS. This update inherently decreased the likelihood that status timing issues would occur given the condensed timeframe for reporting. In addition, as of May 1st, 2023 Herzing University has developed and implemented an exception reporting process that will identify any student that has status updates that occur but reverts back to the original status within the timeframe of the two enrollment reporting periods. Using the student identified in this finding as an example, if the student is at a withdrawn status at the first enrollment reporting period, then moves to an active status immediately after that but then withdraws again within that 2 week window and therefore goes back to a withdrawn status in the subsequent enrollment reporting period, while our standard reporting would still show the student withdrawn for both standard enrollment reporting timeframes, the exception report will flag that student for review since a status change occurred in between the two withdrawn statuses being reported out. Upon review of the exception report, all relevant status progressions will be correctly reported to NSLDS. The required corrective action for Finding 2022-001 listed in the SFA audit for the period 1/1/2022 ? 12/31/2022 was completed on 5/1/2023. The person responsible for completion of the corrective action was Kevin McShane, Vice President of Financial Aid & Compliance.

State of Missouri Single Audit Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2022 State Agency: Department of Social Services (DSS) ? Division of Finance and Administrative Services (DFAS) Audit Finding Number: 2022 -006 ? DSS Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) Reporting Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Sheena Frazer Anticipated completion date for corrective action: N/A Recommendation: The DSS through the DFAS strengthen internal controls related to FFATA reporting by having supervisors maintain documentation of reviews performed of the information reported to the FSRS. In addition, the DFAS should timely complete FFATA reporting in accordance with the applicable requirements. DSS Response: The DSS partially agrees with this finding. The DSS does not agree that documentation of supervisory reviews directly correlates to strong internal controls. The DSS adheres to formalized procedures for FFATA reporting which includes managerial oversight and contends documented reviews may be preferred but are not required by regulation. The DSS experienced a transition of staff during the timeframe in question and the FSRS system does not permit users to access and compliance data or reports uploaded in the system by an alternate user. The FFATA does not impose a deadline on federal awarding agencies to report federal award information in FSRS. Additionally, the FFATA does not impose a deadline on direct recipients to report the subaward of secondary federal awards issued beyond the month following the original obligation date. Therefore, the timeliness of DSS? FFATA reports is also dependent on the date the federal awarding agency makes the federal award information available in FSRS. These circumstances allowed for exceptions identified. The DSS has or will upload reports for all exception items to ensure the information is available in USA Spending. Corrective action planned is as follows: The DSS will continue to adhere to written procedures and maintain strong internal controls to maintain FFATA reporting compliance based on available guidance.

Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer Food Benefits Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Elizabeth Roberts-Smith Anticipated completion date for corrective action: Completed Recommendation: The DSS through the FSD strengthen internal controls to ensure P-EBT program benefit issuances are in accordance with the state plan, and review and correct the overpayments for the children identified in this finding. DSS Response: The DSS agrees with this finding. The DSS agrees that the two children identified in the report were incorrectly issued benefits. Recognizing the complexity for families seeking to appropriately access the benefit, the process by which school children are determined eligible and issued P-EBT benefits was modified in the state plan submitted by the State of Missouri to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) for the 2021-2022 school year. The P-EBT state plan for the 2021-2022 school year was approved by FNS on June 6, 2022. Eligibility for P-EBT is now determined at the individual child level based on COVID-related absences and qualification for federal free and reduced lunch benefits. For the 2021-2022 school year, local education authorities (LEA?s) submit lists of students determined eligible to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). DESE then submits the approved eligibility file to DSS with the name of each eligible child and the amount of benefit to be issued on a P-EBT card. DSS then issues the benefit. Corrective Action is as follows: DSS has reviewed the overpayments and referred the children identified in this finding to the Missouri Program Integrity Unit (PIU) for claims processing, if the funds can be recovered. This is outlined in the FNS approved Missouri P-EBT state plan.

CAP for Finding: 2022-704 Finding 2022-704: Research and Development Cluster?Unallowable Costs Planned Corrective Action: We agree with the condition that expenditures noted by the auditors were posted to federal awards in error. Our institution has robust policies and procedures in place along with multiple levels of review for transactions that post to awards. However, there may be rare instances where a transaction posts to an award for which it is not allowable or allocable. As noted by the auditors, they sampled from a population of $86.9 million from certain expenditure codes and only questioned $650 in costs. These expenditures have now been transferred off the awards to non-sponsored funding. To help Research Administrators manage Research and Development Awards, RSP (Research and Sponsored Programs) offers a variety of tools. RSP maintains a website that houses policies and procedures related to all relevant Research Administration topics. In addition to this, the RSP website has FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) pages on a variety of Research Administration topics. RSP also offers a comprehensive training program called RED (Research Education Development). We offer courses that include topics such as a basic introduction to research administration, closeout of awards, cost-share, cost-transfers, and many others. We will remind administrators and their staff of all the relevant information our website houses and that they should take any pertinent RED. Lastly, we will remind staff that they can retake courses if they haven?t taken them recently and want to refresh their knowledge.

CAP for Finding: 2022-101 Auditor Recommendation: Establish and implement written procedures for making updates to the benefit calculation parameters in the Home Energy (HE) Plus application. Planned Corrective Action: The Wisconsin Department of Administration (Department or DOA) will establish and implement written procedures for entering and updating the benefit calculation parameters related to the Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program (WHEAP) in the HE Plus (HE+) System. The Department?s procedures will reflect that it incorporated a module for determining the LIHEAP heating maximum benefit in the HE+ System and eliminated the use of an external Microsoft Access database for that purpose subsequent to the period under audit (i.e., in state fiscal year [SFY] 2022-23). Anticipated Completion Date: May 1, 2023 Auditor Recommendation: Reassess its existing procedures for performing a review of the benefit calculation parameters entered into the Home Energy (HE) Plus application, make adjustments to its existing procedures as necessary, and document the performance of each review. Planned Corrective Action: The Department necessarily reassessed its procedures for reviewing the entry of benefit calculation parameters into the HE+ System when it incorporated a module for determining the LIHEAP heating maximum benefit in the HE+ System and eliminated the use of an external Microsoft Access database for that purpose subsequent to the period under audit (i.e., in state fiscal year [SFY] 2022-23). The development and implementation of the new system functionality, which was used for the determining the federal fiscal year (FFY) 2023 WHEAP program benefits, improved program integrity through the elimination of manual data entry of end result benefit factors and proxy values. Program integrity will be further strengthened through the creation of a form to document the review of the benefit calculation parameters entered into HE+. The form will be created by May 1, 2023, and implemented with the FFY24 benefit formula calculation scheduled to be completed in July 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: May 1, 2023 Auditor Recommendation: Complete its review of the 605 households that were underpaid heating benefits due to the error and issue supplemental heating benefit payments. Planned Corrective Action: DOA completed its review of the households that were underpaid heating benefits and will issue the supplemental heating benefit payments as soon as practical. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2023 Person responsible for corrective action: Susan Brown, Administrator Division of Energy, Housing and Community Resources susan.brown@wisconsin.gov
