Finding: 2023-004 – Written Policies Required by the Uniform Grant Guidance Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: Although the District has processes in place to cover these areas, there are no formal written policies covering payments, allowability of costs, and compensation. As a result of this condition, the District did not fully comply with the Uniform Guidance applicable to the above noted grants. Auditor Recommendation: We are aware that the District is evaluating options using internal and external resources to take corrective action. We recommend that the District proceed with its selected option as soon as practical, but no later than the end of the next fiscal year. Corrective Action: As noted, the District has processes in place that cover all grant guidelines related to federal funds. However, upon bringing it to our attention that these policies should be in writing, we are making every endeavor to comply. The District is currently working on drafting policies that will meet the criteria set out in the Uniform Guidance and plan to have those in place by the end of the fiscal year.

2023-002 – Federal Work Study (FWS) Over Award – Federal Assistance Listing No. 84.033 Recommendation: We recommend the College review its policies and procedures when packaging students for FWS. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to the finding: The Financial Aid Office acknowledges that three students on the preliminary list of Title IV recipients provided to the auditors reflected an over-award based on the inclusion of FWS funds in their packages. All students are initially packaged through automated packaging, with the College’s software preventing over-awards. However, many awards are adjusted during the course of an academic year, and when this happens, the software’s checks no longer operate. To ensure compliance, the Financial Aid Office conducts ongoing audits throughout the year and a final audit at the end of each year, which also incorporates a final reconciliation of the FWS program. This year, the FWS/final audit was not completed before the preliminary list was submitted to the auditors. Had the audit been completed on time, the three students would not have shown as over-awards, nor would they be counted as FWS recipients. Corrective Action Plan The Financial Aid Office already audits financial aid packages to prevent over-awards. The office will ensure that such audits are completed in a timelier fashion, resulting in a proper final list of Title IV recipients to be submitted for audit review. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Michael Colahan, Student Financial Aid Director Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Effective November 2023

U.S. Department of Education 2023-001 - National Student Loan Data Systems (NSLDS) Enrollment Reporting – Federal Assistance Listing No. 84.007, 84.033, 84.038, 84.063, 84.268 Recommendation: We recommend the College review its policies and procedures on reporting of enrollment status changes to NSLDS to ensure that all status changes are being reported accurately to be in compliance with regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: These findings result from programming used to pull data files to be submitted to NSLDS via a third-party NSC (National Student Clearinghouse) and issues with the timing of reported data being sent to NSLDS from NSC. In the short term, the Registrar’s Office will review the accuracy of the programming behind the data files generated and submitted to the NSLDS via the NSC and will manually review students with program changes for accuracy. In the longer term, the Registrar’s Office will assess its current method for reporting accurate enrollment and enrollment status changes via a third-party NSC vs. the possibility of submitting to the NSLDS directly. That work may require partnership with external consultants. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: James Keane, Registrar Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Effective January 2024.

2023-001 Incorrect Direct Loans Disbursement Amount - Student Financial Aid Cluster Assistance Listing #s 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.379, 84.268, Grant Period - Year Ended June 30, 2023 Condition Found During our student file testing we noted one student out of forty was disbursed the incorrect Direct Loan amount. Based on the student’s enrollment status and need this student was eligible for $926 in Subsidized Loans and $4,574 in Unsubsidized Loans; however, the College awarded the student $230 in Subsidized loans and $5,270 in Unsubsidized loans which resulted in an under award of $696 in Subsidized Loans and an over award of $696 in Unsubsidized Loans. We consider this error in awarding to be an instance of noncompliance of the Eligibility Compliance Requirement. Corrective Action Plan New policy to determine what loan amount to award along with our policy to increase aid if a summer term is added on and budget is increased (only for 2023-2024 as in 2024-2025 budget can only be based on 9 months). This combined with two reports,overaward (sub when not eligible) and underaward (sub eligibility but has not been awarded due to professional judgement, budget increase or new ISIR).

Finding Number: 2023-001 Condition: In a monitoring visit performed by HUD, the grantor found that rent reasonableness determination was not completed on five of the six files reviewed. In our testing we found that six of ten participants we tested did not have a rent reasonableness determination dated prior to the grant funds being expended Planned Corrective Action: The Organization revised the program policy to compare the rent reasonableness of at least three similar units using the Rent Reasonableness Comparison worksheet before any lease-up and document the test with evidence that is reviewed and verified with a supervisor signature prior to execution of the lease. The Organization will repeat this process annually as long as the participant remains in the same unit.

The Organization will review and follow their established policies and procedures over the submission of annual SF-425 reports. The submission was completed without the proper signature due to an abbreviated due date. Keith Chin ( our financial representative with Federal Head Start) had changed the due date from 01/31/2024 to 12/12/2023. The CFO submitted the report without the Executive Director's signature in order to meet the Federal deadline. The CFO did have approval from the Executive Director over the phone to submit the report, but did not note this on the SF 425. After speaking with Chris Mott from Sciarabba Walker and Keith Chin from Federal Head Start, it was determined that Schuyler Head Start could submit the SF 425 on 01/31/2024, and therefore this report will be resubmitted by following the correct policies and procedures. In the future, no report will be submitted without the proper signatures and all reports submittted by Schuyler Head Start will be completed by following the published policies and procedures.
