2022-002 ? Reporting into the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System Cluster: Student Financial Assistance Sponsoring Agency: Department of Education Award Names: Federal Pell Grant Program and Federal Direct Student Loans Award Numbers: Not applicable Assistance Listing Titles: Federal Pell Grant Program and Federal Direct Student Loans Assistance Listing Numbers: 84.063 and 84.268 Award Year: 2021-2022 Pass-through entity: Not applicable Management provides robust, on-going training related to disbursement and federal reporting timeframes. Most recently, the COD reporting requirements were reviewed in the monthly Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships management meeting, inclusive of managers within each unit of the office and IT. The student records outside of the normal parameters identified challenges within our current SIS system and staffing limitations. The student information system in place is aging and lacks flexible controls. The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is migrating to a new student information system (Oracle SFP) for the 2024-25 academic year. We are reengineering our disbursement process to maximize the enhanced controls and automation within Oracle SFP to ensure compliance with disbursement and federal reporting timeframes. Until a more robust system is in place, management will develop exception reports to identify discrepancies in FAME versus COD disbursement dates beginning with the 2023 summer term. Exception reports will be reviewed bi-weekly to ensure compliance with the required reporting timeline. Additionally, management continues to request additional full-time professional staff to support the administration of federal student aid and ensure regulatory compliance in all areas as federal, state and institutional aid programs continue to expand and evolve. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Rebecca Sanchez at (949) 824-8262 who is responsible for the corrective action.

2022-003 ? Return of Title IV Funds Cluster: Student Financial Assistance Sponsoring Agency: Department of Education Award Names: Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Federal Pell Grant Program and Federal Direct Student Loans Award Numbers: Not applicable Assistance Listing Titles: Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Federal Pell Grant Program and Federal Direct Student Loans Assistance Listing Numbers: 84.007, 84.063 and 84.268 Award Year: 2021-2022 Pass-through entity: Not applicable Campus 1 Management provides robust, on-going training related to the Return of Title IV Funds. The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships staffing levels have not sufficiently adjusted as student aid programs grow in size and complexity. Management is in the process of hiring additional staff and will continue to request additional full-time staff in our annual budget proposals. As additional federal and state financial aid programs are developed, there are simply not enough staff to complete all work required each week. Beginning fiscal year 2024, R2T4 reports will be reviewed in weekly team meetings and prioritized for processing to ensure compliance with regulatory timeframes. Long-term, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is migrating to a new student information system (Oracle SFP) for the 2024-25 academic year. Enhanced controls and automation within Oracle SFP will ensure compliance with Return of Title IV Funds regulatory timeframes. The new student information system will increase efficiency and effectiveness by eliminating previous manual processes. Campus 2 As of October 2022, all disbursements are reported immediately, rather than the previous weekly cadence. Weekly review procedures are, and will be, a continued process to identify discrepancies and reconcile within 30 days. As an effort to address staff changes and the change in disbursement reporting, additional training was provided to staff in October of 2022. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Rebecca Sanchez at (949) 824-8262 and Trina Wilson at (530) 752-9278 who are responsible for the corrective action.

As a result of the prior year omissions discovered during the current year SEFA preparation and Single Audit, the University performed a reconciliation (prior to issuance of the audit report) of the PRF payments reflected in the HRSA reporting portal systemwide. The reconciliation did not identify any misstatements other than those described in the finding. The University of California Office of the President (UCOP) will work with campuses to fully reconcile PRF for the fiscal year 2023. Also beginning in 2023, campuses and medical centers will be assigned responsibility for reviewing and signing off on their respective final SEFAs, inclusive of HEERF, PRF, and any other atypical federal programs that are not captured in the campuses? financial system (e.g., those for which there is not expense recognition in a federal fund). The Systemwide Controller will also be included in the review process and signoff on the final SEFA reports. Beginning in FY 2024, the University will implement more comprehensive financial reporting controls as follows: ? Interim SEFA reports, inclusive of atypical programs, will be prepared centrally and distributed to campuses for review and alignment with campus records. Campus management will be tasked with the responsibility for overall review and signoff for both interim and final SEFA reports. ? The Systemwide Controller will also be included in the review process by performing an overall review and signoff for the final SEFA report.

Currently, no scholarship expenditures have been incurred in fiscal year 2023 from HEERF institutional funds, and a final review of expenditures made from HEERF institutional funds will be completed by the end of fiscal year 2023. Campus 2 The affected campus acknowledges and agrees with the finding. The campus will develop and implement a formal review of the eligibility analysis that includes upfront documentation of the calculation of amounts to be charged on the award. In 2022, the $1,345,330 real estate revenue loss transaction was reversed, triggering the necessary refund in the draw system, to be performed consistent with institutional policy and procedure for refunds to federal sponsors. In January 2023, the HEERF quarterly reporting was updated to reflect this, posted to the campus HEERF Reporting website, and emailed to the Department of Education. Separately, campus immediately worked to determine if the funds could be used for other allowable purposes. As of February 2023, all of the amount previously returned has been re-purposed, fully documented to ensure allowable use of HEERF institutional funding including CFO review and approval, and re-drawn in the federal draw system. In regards to the fringe benefit rate that was not supported, by June 2023, the campus will work with the affected department and the campus recharge rate review committee to document the fringe rate calculation and approval to substantiate allowable costs included on the award. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Bobbi McCracken at (951) 827-3303 and Nickolaus Lekovish (858) 534-0660 who are responsible for the corrective action.

Per recommendations, the University will amend the June 30, 2022, report and will ensure that these expenditures are not reported under section 84.425E of future HEERF quarterly and annual reports. This amendment will be processed no later than March 15, 2023. Additionally, campus will review all previous reports and amend as necessary with a target completion date in April 2023.

The College has been actively working to implement changes in procedure to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Corrective Action The College has updated its reporting schedule to NSLDS to reporting on a monthly basis at a minimum. The College also a manual review procedure that will help to ensure all status changes are reported timely to NSLDS. Additionally, an interdepartmental working group convened to evaluate, test and implement improvements through automation. Due to limitations with the student information system (Workday), the College continues to engage with the software vendor and other users to evaluate possible improvements and efficiencies in an effort to minimize manual processing without introducing additional compliance risks.
