"Finding 2022-001. Inadequate segregation of duties Recommendation: We believe the cash receipts process represents a lesser risk to the Project because the only funds easily susceptible to fraud or error would be receipts other than rent which are immaterial to the Project. Regarding cash disbursements, with the administrator responsible for approving invoices, entering them into the general ledger and signing checks there remains a material weakness that could only be improved by hiring additional personnel. Action Taken: Highland Rim Terrace, Inc. is not financially able to hire a third person so as to divide the responsibilities any more than they are now. We have discussed with local HUD representatives and have determined not to hire additional personnel at this time. Anticipated Completion Date: September 15, 2022"

Finding No. 2022-004: Financial Aid Administration ? Control Deficiency Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education CFDA Number and Title: 84.268 ? Federal Direct Student Loans Questioned Costs: $ - Responsible Individual: Jennifer Bradley, Financial Aid Manager, Kapi`olani Community College Date Action Taken: March 2022 In early March 2022 the campus servers, held by the Center for Excellence in Learning, Teaching and Technology or CELTT, where all data was stored, went down and data was not recoverable. Documentation used as evidence is copy of real-time reports/transactions. All reconciliation documentation was stored on that server. Though reconciliation was done monthly, we were not able to provide evidence of 2 of the 3 sample months. After we were apprised of the campus servers, the Financial Aid Office created drives/folders in UH Enterprise Dropbox where we started to save our daily work, including reconciliation documentation. This commenced about March 10, 2022. We started using UH Enterprise Dropbox for Centralization processes in December 2020, thus expanded its use to include our office work/processes. On approximately March 14, 2022 CELTT was able to restore/recreate the servers and install the proper software to resume operations and store data. The campus servers have since been manually backed-up every-other-week. Additionally, CELTT is working on an automated process to back-up the campus servers on a weekly basis. They are awaiting hardware to complete this process. It is expected that the automated back-up will start in early 2023. Starting November 2022 and on at least a quarterly basis reconciliation documentation is transferred/saved to the campus server. This will assure that we have proper documentation of our reconciliation.

Financial Aid Office staff will be assigned to review completed Return to Title IV calculations on a weekly basis to ensure that all institution required returns have been remitted to Federal Student Aid within the required time period.

Federal Pell Grant Questioned Costs: $ - Responsible Individual: Jodie Kuba, Director of Financial Aid Nikki Chun, Div. of Enrollment Management, Vice Provost for Enrollment Management Date Action Taken: August 1, 2022 Due to staff following the 45-day timeframe for the Return to Title IV Calculation, staff did not take into account the 30-day requirement to return funds when it could not be confirmed if a student academically attended the course(s).

Finding No. 2022-008: Inaccurate Stipend Expenditure- Control Deficiency Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education CFDA Number and Title: 84.047 ? TRIO Cluster Questioned Costs: $25 Responsible Individuals: Shayna Fuerte, Interim Director, Upward Bound Programs Paula Gealon, Fiscal/Post Award Administrator, RAPID Date Action Taken: January 1, 2022 The University of Hawaii Upward Bound Program streamlined their record keeping function used to track student participation in program activities by only using the Blumen database to record data. This method of tracking student participation went into effect for all five of the Upward Bound Programs on January 1, 2022. The use of the Blumen database will greatly minimize human error in our record keeping process and eliminate the need for various spreadsheets that were previously being used [Student Assignment Log, College Preparatory Saturday Academy (CPSA) Attendance Log, Participant and Parent Cumulative Service (PPCS) Log, Report Card Log, and Tutoring Log]. Information from the Blumen database will be summarized in our Stipend Statement by our Program Coordinators. Points are allocated to the students based off of our Participation and Points Rubric. Prior to payment being issued to student participant, there will be a second level of review of Stipend Statements by either our Director, Associate Director, or Assistant Director to ensure accuracy of point distribution. Once stipend amounts are verified to be accurate with a second level review, stipend payments will be distributed to participants by the Fiscal Specialist.

2022-002. Finding: Inadequate Procedures for Ensuring Compliance with Earmarking Requirements for the Student Support Services Program - Carbondale Campus Response: We agree and have implemented corrective actions. Ongoing changes at the university continue to impact the potential for enrollment growth of minority students, which directly impacts the success of the program. Corrective Action Plan: Realignment of support services has structured Trio programs in an area with other similar programs that serve students that meet the criteria of the program. This realignment of services is already producing positive results. We believe this upward trend will continue for the university and program. To ensure earmarking requirements are met, applications are monitored daily. Other actions that have been taken include: ? The project director has been appointed to committees that directly impact the recruitment, selection, and retention of this population of students. ? The director also participates in recruitment activities that focuses on increasing underrepresented minority populations. ? Under the newly structured unit, a retention team has been established to improve support services and mitigate challenges to enrollment and retention of the population of students. The current status of program is mentioned in tabular form in corrective action plan. The Trio currently meets earing marking requirements. The requirements will be documented in the upcoming Annual Performance Report once submitted to the US Department of Education for AY 2022-2023 (May 2023). We hope to sustain this progress as enrollment at the university continues to trend upward. Contact Person: Renada Greer (SIUC Assistant Dean & Director TRIO) Anticipated completion date: May 2, 2023

Managers will be informed of the federal suspension and debarment policy and encouraged to hold operations staff accountable to implementing the policy more consistently.

Corrective Action Plan The Union College Economic department chose to change the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code to more accurately reflect the degree requirements of this particular major. The CIP code change process is typically applied at the start of a new academic year, but in this case, the College felt that it was necessary to do so immediately. The National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) was consulted to be sure that students would, in fact, graduate in the new CIP code without negative impact to their program. As a result of this late semester change, a number of Economics majors were manually corrected in the NSC and reported as graduated with the new CIP code. In the future, Union will adhere to its standard timelines and processes for curricular changes, as the ?ad-hoc? nature of such changes are difficult to manage. Upon further pressure for resolution, the NSC has now provided instructions regarding how to resolve the students reporting issues. A new file will be transmitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) in early March, once further updates are received and processed by the NSC. Union College will review the NSLDS database to confirm accurate reporting once the file has been submitted. Union College will also perform self-audits to ensure our processes are efficiently capturing enrollment changes and that the NSC and NSLDS reports agree and are accurate beginning with the March 2023 enrollment period.
