Corrective Action Plan: The AOE will require each participating independent school complete an inventory webform every two years for each piece of equipment that has been reimbursed or purchased by VTAOE for use by the independent school under CRRSAA. The Equipment will be tagged as property of the State of Vermont, and we will require a picture of the item for our records to ensure the item is in a good condition. We will maintain a list of equipment items including all that is required in 2 CFR section 200.313(d) (1). Our Administrative Services Director will add equipment and maintain our equipment list. Updates will be provided to this position by the EANS program team following the process below. The AOE EANS Program team will review each Equipment inventory submission for completeness including: the current condition and if the item is still being used for its intended purpose. Once the inventory is complete, the Program team will provide the inventory updates to the AOE Finance Team. As long as an independent school continues to use the equipment for an approved purpose, they will be asked to complete the inventory every two years. The Administrative Services Director will work with the State of Vermont?s Department of Buildings and General Services when equipment items need to be disposed of. We will provide them a list of the items and they will instruct us how to proceed.

Corrective Action Plan: The Agency will identify if a new ESEA Federal grant (or a grant based on an ESEA program) includes an Equitable Service requirement during the program completion of the ?New Grant Checklist?. If a new grant includes an Equitable Service requirement, the ESEA Equitable Service?s Ombudsman will be notified and will work with the grant program manager to ensure the build of the GMS application includes the correct level of detail and controls to meet the SEA requirements for oversight. When appropriate, the Agency will use its process for handling of Equitable Services associated with the Consolidated Federal Programs as models for determining the correct calculation method. The Agency will utilize built in business rules and internal controls within the Grants Management System (GMS) to gather the following information in the grant application for AOE review and approval prior to issuing a grant award agreement: 1. Calculation of the total proportionate share dollars an LEA must set aside for Equitable Services 2. Identification of Independent Schools participating in Equitable Services applicable to each LEA 3. Calculation of the dollars available for Equitable Services for each participating Independent School For each Federal grant that requires an equitable services component, the Agency will document the review and approval of the Equitable Services information through one of two processes prior to the grant award agreement: 1. A dedicated review assignment specific to equitable services, or 2. Verification statements on the review checklist for a general application reviewer Position Responsible for Implementation of Corrective Action: Anne Bordonaro, Division Director, Federal & Education Support Programs anne.bordonaro@vermont.gov 802-828-1388 Date of Implementation of Corrective Action: July 1, 2023

Corrective Action Plan: To address the accuracy and timeliness of our entries into the FFATA system, we will use the USASPENDING.GOV website to assist us in reconciling what has been entered into the FFATA system. This will allow us to ensure that our grant ledgers agree with what is entered into FFATA. This will be a reconciliation completed at least quarterly (following SOV fiscal year quarters) and will be completed by the Deputy CFO or position assigned by the Deputy CFO. We will also implement a process that will have all the steps necessary for a grant award or an amendment to ensure it is posted properly within our internal files and the external systems. This will ensure that new awards and amendments get routed and entered in the FFATA system timely. Our finance team also attended a FFATA training on February 3, 2023 for additional training on the FFATA system. We will look into the Batch upload process which was described in that training.

November 1, 2022 Finding 2022-001: 2022-001 Special Tests and Provisions ? Verification Management?s View and Corrective Action Plan Through review and analysis of the finding during the audit, management notes two staff members incorrectly processed the files for the four federal verification issues identified. Three of the four files were processed by a staff member who no longer works at the University, and one of the four files was processed by a current Sr. Counselor. The Sr. Counselor responsible for one of the errors has had additional training provided to ensure the clear understanding of the data elements required on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)/Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR), with particular emphasis on the taxes paid as this can produce a change to the need and potential change to the federal aid awarded. The Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) will continue to require annual training on the FAFSA/ISIR and federal verification process for all staff who review student records. Training for the upcoming cycle will start in November 2022, prior to the incoming freshmen student file review processing scheduled to begin in December 2022. The training will have a strong emphasis on the data elements that are required to be verified with a data element matrix to be used as a reference tool. This tool will be required to be utilized when completing the verification process. Beyond the initial start to the cycle training, we will continue ongoing training and refreshers throughout the year. Additionally, starting with the new cycle, OSFA?s management team will be implementing a second level review process for all verified files. This will require that an OSFA manager complete an additional review to identify any potential errors. The OSFA manager will also be responsible for providing training needs throughout the processing cycle. In addition, a peer review process will be implemented on a sample basis to maintain a stronger environment of accountability. The second level and peer review process will be ongoing. For the longer term, OSFA is in the process of hiring a Chief Financial Aid Compliance Officer, backfilling a current vacancy. OSFA is working to enhance the position to ensure a compliance officer with necessary skills and Title IV knowledge will be hired. This will allow the office to have regular evaluation and staff training of policies and procedures, as well as performing desk audits throughout each cycle to identify potential risks and create action plans for staff members that need additional assistance. Implementation Date: November 2022 Estimated Completion Date: The training and enhanced review process will be ongoing and the Chief Financial Aid Compliance Officer position is aimed to be filled in FY23.
