2025-020 EQUIPMENT AND REAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (DOA) Assistance Listing Number: 93.103 The property for which adequate records (tested against 2 CFR 200) were unavailable for the Department of Agriculture was purchased in 2010, before the implementation and 2 CFR 200. Federal financial assistance for State governments was governed by circular A-102 during time of purchase which did not have equivalent property management requirements as found in circular A-110 and subsequently 2 CFR 200. Adequate records were available for the two additional properties sampled purchased in 2017 and 2021, demonstrating the current property management system and processes are adequate to meet requirements of current federal financial assistance. Moving forward, DOA will be reviewing current property records to ensure compliance with 2 CFR 200.313.

The GSU Financial Aid Office reviews and reconciles all Pell Grant and Direct Loan disbursement records at least monthly by comparing Banner records to Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) records. If any do not match, the GSU Financial Aid Office notes this within their documentation and resolves these discrepancies in a timely manner. They are reconciled by the GSU Financial Aid Office, signed off by the reconciling staff member, as well as the Financial Aid Director. Further, the GSU Business and Finance Office Accountant and GSU Financial Controller review and sign-off the reconciled data. The final copy is kept within the GSU Financial Aid Office. 78 Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College (SWVCTC) Response: A Monthly Reconciliation Cover Sheet has been developed. The Financial Aid Counselor will complete the monthly and annual reconciliation for each fund (e.g., Pell Grant, Student Loans). The cover sheet will document the month reconciled, the fund being reconciled, the amount disbursed in Banner, the amount disbursed through COD, any discrepancies with explanations, and the preparer’s signature. The applicable SAS Reconciliation for each fund will be attached to the cover sheet. Upon completion, the reconciliation and cover sheet will be reviewed and approved by the Director of Student Financial Assistance.

2025-019 SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT HIGHER EDUCATION POLICY COMMISSION Assistance Listing Number: 47.076 This finding was previously identified during the FY 2024 audit. Since the original finding, HEPC has addressed and resolved this issue by strengthening its internal controls and procedures. On March 31, 2025, HEPC updated policies and procedures that established and maintain effective control over federal awards. The update established a threshold for identifying covered transactions and provides clear guidance on conducting suspension and debarment searches in SAM.gov for those transactions. The update also provided additional steps for documentation required to assess whether a vendor is excluded or disqualified if not in SAM.gov. The instances noted in this finding happened before the corrective action plan was implemented. Management believes the updated processes and procedures are effective.

That said, the GO recognizes that certain errors were noted in the amounts reported in the quarterly expenditure reports and is committed to enhancing its processes going forward. In particular, as the new administration has had a chance to become more familiar with the reporting processes and its relationship with the third-party firm responsible for assisting the State’s creation and submission of its expenditure reporting. In particular, the GO will ensure that each quarterly expenditure report includes a clearly defined project schedule that allows ample time for the full review and confirmation of information and data included prior to the report’s due date. Additionally, the third-party firm has added additional resources to support the reporting periods and developed new templates to better track and summarize the information aggregated across all agencies spending SLFRF funds to better enable review and identification of any errors or questions.

During the performance year, the BAM team faced significant staffing challenges, which delayed the timely completion of audits and restricted the availability of personnel for reviewing completed cases. To address this issue, WFWV has implemented the following corrective measures: 1. Trained a support staff member in November 2024 to assist BAM analysts with administrative tasks, including setting up new case files, issuing second and third requests for information, and calculating wages based on employer-provided verification forms. This support enables analysts to dedicate more time to core investigative work. 2. Hired an additional BAM analyst in November 2025 to reduce management’s workload in completing audits, allowing them to prioritize the review of completed cases. Furthermore, as of January 2026, management and the BAM support staff now use a shared redesigned spreadsheet to track the progress of assigned cases. This tool provides real-time visibility into case statuses, ensuring more effective monitoring of completion timeliness and preventing future delays.

2025-006 REPORTING – FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA) DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (DEP) Assistance Listing Number: 15.252 The finding states that the DEP did not report subaward information in accordance with reporting requirements. Specifically, two reports selected for testing were not reported in a timely manner. Based on the previous year’s finding, DEP implemented standard operating procedures on January 24, 2024, to ensure compliance with the FFATA reporting requirements. DEP concurs that the two reports found to be in noncompliance were, in fact, submitted after the required deadline. This oversight was primarily due to the understaffing of the Sub Grants Unit at the time these reports were to be submitted. DEP currently has sufficient standard operating procedures to ensure compliance with FFATA reporting. DEP will temporarily reassign staff responsibilities to ensure reporting compliance timelines are met until the current vacancy in the Sub Grants Unit can be filled to provide additional support to the existing staff.

In addition, we had trouble getting the SAM.gov site to accept our FFATA entries. DOE worked with SAM.gov customer support to eventually get the issues resolved, but this also resulted in late reporting.

The student’s official withdrawal request was not transmitted by the office responsible for approving student leaves and withdrawals to the Registrar’s Office for processing, resulting in the absence of the required enrollment update in the student information system. In response, the Registrar’s Office has implemented a revised procedure for the handling of late leave requests and will coordinate directly with the Financial Aid Office to ensure accurate updates to the NSLDS. Staff in the Advising Office have been retrained on proper transmission protocols, and both the Registrar’s Office and Advising Office have instituted additional quality control and tracking measures to ensure that all leaves and withdrawals are processed and reported in a timely and compliant manner.

Corrective Action Plan Single Audit Finding 2025-001: Internal Controls over Allowable Costs/Activities Plan: The IFA acknowledges the importance of internal controls and appropriate segregation of duties ensuring the review and approval process for Authority financial transactions (i.e., expenditures applied to corresponding grants are allowable; month-end financial entries; etc.). With recent staff additions, IFA has enhanced its internal control environment by implementing a review/authorization process to ensure the preparation and approval of journal entries (i.e., month-end, etc.) occurs in accordance of established internal controls and appropriate segregation of duties (e.g., month-end journal entries prepared by the IFA SVP-FA are reviewed and approved by the IFA Chief Operating Officer, or appropriate designee). Since manual or adjusting journal entries are information processing activities that carry higher risk, a review of journal entries after posting serve as acceptable verification control in accordance with the United States Government Accountability Office Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government that helps ensure transactions are appropriate. These post-entry reviews represent an acceptable form of management oversight (Principle 16) and serve as an acceptable validation check (Principle 10) to confirm that entries align with supporting documentation, reconcile with expectations, and aligned with organizational directives.

Action taken in response to finding: We have researched the issue and found that it goes back to the June 2022 purging of the archive file within our student information system in order to get the NSC reports to pull from the system. We no longer purge the archive file, so these issues will only happen on some older records where students return to the college. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Katrina Dumont, Institutional Effectiveness Planned completion date for corrective action plan: We will monitor the Spring 2026 NSC enrollment files to make sure the issue is not getting worse.
