2022-007 ? Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds Earmarking Requirements Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The University had excess funds after disbursing to students from the student portion of HEERF III emergency financial aid grants. Management discharged outstanding student balances using the excess student portion of HEERF III. Management advised students the funds could be applied to outstanding balances; however, students were not given the option to receive a cash payment in lieu of being applied to outstanding balances. Management also did not maintain detail records tracking how HEERF funds were spent across HEERF I, HEERF II, and HEERF III. As a result of this condition, the student portion of HEERF III was used for a purpose other than to provide emergency financial aid grants to students. The University partially discharged the existing student balance of 31 students amounting to $88,958. The University did not spend the required cumulative minimum of the student portion on allowable costs. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend management and accounting personnel with involvement in federal funding attend grant specific trainings and that the University maintain detailed records to allow the proper tracking of federal expenditures on a grant level basis. "Corrective Action: The University better understands the tracking requirements and the University will ensure any future funds are tracked appropriately based on the grant guidelines. Specifically with respect to HEERF III disbursements, Cleary agrees with the finding. After disbursing HEERF III funds to each student, some students had remaining outstanding balances. Management was concerned for a subset of 31 students who still had large remaining balances and were in danger of having that balance sent to a collection agency. So the remaining funds available were applied to the balances of those students. In other communications to students, the University had in the past offered students the option of applying the funds to their accounts or taking the amount in cash. Due to an oversight, the University did not offer that option to students in this circumstance. The University should have presented students with the option of receiving the HEERF funds in cash rather than having it applied to their student account. The University is in the process of drafting a communication to each of the 31 individual students affected, making them aware that Cleary applied HEERF funds to their outstanding student balances but should have offered a cash payment option. The letter will state that Cleary can issue cash disbursements if the student contacts the Student Accounts office. The communication also makes it clear to students that this will create a balance due on their current student account that must be satisfied before they can re-register for classes. In addition, Business Office and Financial Aid staff involved in federal funding will attend grant-specific training on an annual basis." Responsible Person.

2022-006 ? Review of Reconciliations Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. We noted a variance for Pell disbursements between the University's financial records and the COD. As a result of this condition, the University initially overstated Pell disbursements on its SEFA by $44,941 and an adjustment was required to be made. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the University implement procedures to review monthly reconciliations for accuracy. Corrective Action: The University had a change in senior financial management and along with that broader access to G5 which in turn has allowed for additional procedures for monthly reconciliation of federal awards to the internal accounting system. We believe this will prevent this type of error from occurring in the future. Responsible Person. Alan Drimmer Anticipated Completion Date: 3/15/2023

2022-005 ? Timeliness of Student Status Changes Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. We noted that four students out of a testing population of 17 were not reported timely to NSLDS. As a result of this condition, the University reported four students whose status was reduced from full-time to three-quarter time to the NSLDS after the 60 day deadline. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement procedures to report status changes for all students on a timely basis and to maintain documented procedures for enrollment reporting to prevent untimely reporting in the future. Corrective Action: The University acknowledges the error. There is now a monthly procedure in place to report student status changes to the NSLDS documented in Standard Operating Procedures.

2022-004 ? Late Return of Title IV Funds Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The University returned Title IV funds of $28 after the prescribed 45 day window for one student tested out of a population of one. As a result of this condition, the University did not fully comply with the special tests and provisions requirements. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that management review their current practices and policies for reviewing Title IV funds associated with students who withdraw. Corrective Action: The University recognizes the error of not returning this $28 in a timely manner. At the time, the University had only one individual, the senior financial aid advisor, with this responsibility and the staff member had a serious personal emergency which caused the delay. We have now implemented a new procedure and provided cross training to other staff members who can now return federal funds. Responsible Person. Alan Drimmer Anticipated Completion Date: 10/24/2022

2022-003 ? Subsidized Loans Awarded to Student without Financial Need Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The University provided a direct subsidized loan to a student without financial need. As a result of this condition, the University did not fully comply with student financial aid eligibility requirements. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that management review their current practices and policies for reviewing student information to provide the correct type of financial aid to students. Corrective Action. The one instance noted in this finding for $1,361 was discovered in 2022-23 and the only one of its kind that Management is aware of. Once the University became aware of it, the student was notified, and the correction was made in Common Origination and Disbursement in the 2021-22 fiscal year. New qualified staff has been added to the Business Office and new student accounts software was implemented in Spring of 2022 that reviews need and grade level and awards loans properly. Responsible Person. Alan Drimmer Anticipated Completion Date: 11/16/2022

As a self-funded non-profit, management of cash is one of our highest priorities. The majority of our subcontractor invoices are ordinarily paid within 30 days of the submission of Parallax?s payment request to the government. This is consistent with the results of the audit. To remediate the situation, management is working to increase the line of credit (LOC) which will facilitate earlier payments to suppliers. One of the gating items, is the completion of this annual financial audit. Once submitted, our bank will review and, if acceptable, process our request. Indications are that the bank will increase our LOC. Projected Completion: Jan 30, 2023.

To reduce operating costs, payroll costs and other shared expenses are initially processed and paid through Redbanks Towers and Apartments. The other two affiliated properties managed by Henderson County Health Care Corporation, II reimburse Redbanks Towers and Apartments for their proportionate share of the costs. The $54,930 are not loans to the other affiliated properties. The amount can be attributed to timing differences and billing the affiliated properties after an expense is paid. Due to employee issues and turnover, some of the reimbursements were not made in a timely manner. Management has taken proactive steps to ensure timely reimbursement in the future, including but not limited to, outsourcing accounts payable, changes in staffing, monitoring the intercompany reimbursements, etc. As of October 4, 2022, $43,404.81 of the amount has been reimbursed to Redbanks Towers and Apartments. The balance of $11,525.42 will be reimbursed as soon as possible.
The tenant security deposit account is underfunded due to more interest being paid out than what was earned. Management will transfer funds to adequately fund the liability to tenants as soon as possible.

2022-003 Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance and Noncompliance Federal programs purchases go through multiple approvals prior to issuing a purchase order. Approvals include the grant program administrator, director of purchasing, director of finance, and assistant superintendent of business and operations, and superintendent at a minimum. All approving staff have attended federal programs training including ESSER training. Since the questioned costs went through the established approval procedures, all staff with responsibility of approving grant purchases will attend additional training on allowable costs including a refresher training each semester beginning with the Spring 2023 semester. Training should be continuous and ongoing since question-and-answer documents are constantly updated and changed. To address the specific finding in the audit, the director of finance will establish pre-paid accounts in the general fund that will be used to record subscriptions and contracts that extend beyond the current fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year, the director of finance will move expenditures associated with the fiscal year to the grant through a journal entry. In addition, the pre-paid account will be reconciled with the balance of each subscription identified in the reconciliation. The list of pre-paid subscriptions and the journal entry will both be reviewed and approved by the assistant superintendent of business and operations as a part of newly established operating procedures.

FINDING 2022?003 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Maria Conwell Contact Phone Number: 260-868-2125 Views of Responsible Official: We agree with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: DeKalb County Eastern Community School District will work with the Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative to implement the procedures detailed below. The Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative (NEISEC) Treasurer will reach out to DeKalb Eastern during the writing process of the IDEA 611 and 619 grants in order for DeKalb Eastern to submit their plans for their allocation of proportionate share money. NEISEC will provide the allocation amounts to DeKalb Eastern. These submissions will include a proportionate share budget and include proportionate share staff names and any necessary information for the budget categories. The NEISEC Treasurer will then compile the proportionate share information and include on the grant submission. The LEA Treasurer will be given a copy of the grant application and budget upon approval of the grant. Any NEISEC employee being paid out of proportionate share grant funds for salary and benefits will be paid from the LEA's financial software. The LEA Treasurer will keep a spreadsheet of employee proportionate share expenses and this spreadsheet will be updated monthly based on time and effort logs that are submitted by DeKalb Eastern to the LEA and NEISEC. Any employee utilizing proportionate share funds that is not an employee of NEISEC, but rather a direct employee of DeKalb Eastern, will be paid directly by DeKalb Eastern. Time and effort logs will still be submitted to the LEA and NEISEC Treasurers for these employees in order to generate a direct reimbursement from the grant fund to DeKalb Eastern. For any expenses for a category outside of salary and benefits, DeKalb Eastern will need to submit an invoice and proof of purchase for equipment, supplies, etc. to NEISEC and the LEA in order to be directly reimbursed for those proportionate share expenses. If the request was not in the initial grant budget, DeKalb Eastern must submit all relevant information to NEISEC in order for a grant modification to be completed. Per IDOE the grant modification must be approved first prior to purchasing the items. Time and effort logs as well as invoice and proof of payment must be sent to the LEA Treasurer in order to completed the grant reimbursement requests. At the end of the grant period, any remaining proportionate share money will require that a waiver be completed. As of this date (2/10/2023) the LEA (DeKalb County Eastern CSD) and NEISEC are still in communication with SBOA and IDOE to review the proportionate share plan and ensure all necessary requirements will be satisfied. Anticipated Completion Date: Changes discussed above will be implemented for the remainder of the FY23 grant period starting 07/01/2023.
