Auditor’s recommendation: We recognize that the District has attempted to mitigate the lack of segregation of duties by having other individuals perform certain ancillary duties of record-keeping including: opening the mail; signing of checks; distribution of payroll and vendor checks; and bank reconciliations. These duties could be enhanced by having the individual responsible for the preparation of bank reconciliations compare the reconciled bank balances to the District’s general ledger software on a monthly basis, as currently reconciliations are compared against manual worksheets. In addition, we recommend that the individual responsible for opening mail also maintain a cash receipts log, with someone independent of the cash receipts function reconciling the log to the general ledger and bank statements at certain times during the year. For mitigating controls over the District’s payroll, the District should consider having the Superintendent review a monthly change report showing any changes in pay rates or employees. Finally, for controls over cash disbursements, the Board should account for the sequence of checks for each disbursement register to ensure that all checks are being reviewed. In addition a report should be generated that documents any new vendors added to the payable module. This report could be approved monthly by the Superintendent. District’s Response: Linda Benson, Business Manager, understands the importance of having strong segregation of duties and will attempt to separate certain responsibilities as outlined above for the year ending June 30, 2024.

Auditor’s Recommendation: Although auditors may continue to provide such assistance both now and in the future, under the new pronouncement, the District should continue to review and accept both proposed adjusting journal entries and footnote disclosures, along with the draft financial statements. District’s Response: Linda Benson, Business Manager, has received, reviewed and accepted all journal entries, footnote disclosures and draft financial statements proposed for the current year audit and will continue to review similar information for the year ending June 30, 2024 and in future years. Further, the District believes it has a thorough understanding of these financial statements and the ability to make informed judgments based on these financial statements. Lastly, the District considers such assistance provided by the auditors to be the most cost effective in preparing such information.

Enrollment Reporting Recommendation: We recommend that the College review and implement procedures to ensure the correct date and status is reported to the NSLDS in all cases. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: For the two students who were dual degree, manual entry errors were the cause and were corrected. The College will implement a process in September 2023 where a second reviewer from Institutional Research will review the manual entry for student status changes to ensure that the correct dates are reported to NSDLS. For the third student, the timing of the notification of withdrawal, which had to be processed retroactively, and when the certification file was sent to NSDLS caused the student to be left out of the certification file. The College has added additional College officials (in Institutional Research) to the daily and monthly withdrawal lists so students who are processed retroactively will not be missed.

We consider this condition to be an instance of noncompliance relating to the Activities Allowed or Unallowed compliance requirement. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Management Response: There were 2 individuals improperly paid. In the first incident an electronic student timecard was submitted in error and not approved by the supervisor. The payroll administrator erroneously paid the employee for the time in the amount of $82 without supervisor approval. In the second incident the employee submitted a manual timecard with the incorrect number of hours indicated per shift. The supervisor and the payroll administrator both missed the incorrect calculation in the amount of $72. Corrective Action Plan: The University has implemented electronic timecards that will mitigate manual errors in calculation. A new payroll administrator has been hired and the University is focused on documentation of student-payroll procedures and supervisor training.

We consider this finding to be an instance of noncompliance in relation to Special Tests and Provisions. Statistical sampling was not used. Management Response: Student Identifier 6 - The student was identified after the conclusion of the term to have earned no passing grades and a determination was made as to when the student stopped attending classes for the term. The determined last date of attendance required a manual return of Title IV funds to be calculated. The calculation and subsequent return of funds was performed timely, however, an SEOG award of $250 was not included in error when the calculation was made. Corrective Action Plan: Student Identifier 6 - When notified of the finding by auditors, the return of Title IV funds calculation was performed with the $250 SEOG funds included. The corrected calculation resulted in an additional $127 in PELL grant funds to return. The return was corrected and completed on October 12, 2023. A secondary review of all manual Return of Title IV calculations has been implemented to mitigate manual errors.

The University over awarded one student by $500 in Unsubsidized loans. Another student was under awarded $938 in Subsidized loans and under awarded $562 in Unsubsidized loans. Management Response: Student Identifier 22 - The student's loan limits were determined automatically by our student information system during the awarding process expecting the student to successfully complete the hours in which they were enrolled and progress to the next class level for the subsequent term. The student failed one course and missed progressing to the next academic level. When the manual adjustment was made to the student's awarded loan amounts after the end of the term, the subsidized loan was adjusted and the unsubsidized loan was missed, causing the over-award of $500 for one term. Student Identifier 23 - A pro-ration of loan limits was required for this student due to graduation at mid-term. Instead of using the full annual loan limit to calculate the pro-rated amount, the remaining aggregate eligibility was used as the amount from which the pro-ration was calculated. The manual mis-calculation resulted in the student being offered $938 less Subsidized loan and $562 less in Unsubsidized loan funds than they were eligible to receive. Corrective Action Plan: Student Identifier 22 - The $500 unsubsidized direct loan over payment was corrected and returned on July 31, 2023. Student Identifier 23 - The miscalculation of total loan eligibility was realized after the payment period ended and the student had completed their program of study/graduated with a zero account balance. No additional loan eligibility was offered. Additional staff has been trained to provide secondary verification of revised and pro-rated loan calculations. Responsible Person: Director, Student Financial Services Asst. Director/Loan Coordinator, Student Financial Services Implementation Date: Fall 2023 academic term.
