(4) Management's view: We acknowledge the auditor’s findings regarding student status change reporting and the control gap over ensuring the changes were made in NSLDS timely. The JFKSON reported the status changes to our third-party servicer, the National Student Clearinghouse (“NSC”), within the required timeframe. However, due to NSC’s processing and transmission schedule, the changes were not reflected in NSLDS timely for the students in the review sample.
It is important to note that the JFKSON did meet its responsibility to report enrollment changes to NSC as our designated reporting agent, and that all student enrollment data was ultimately reported and accepted by NSLDS. No students were negatively impacted by the delay.

Management enhancements to the finance function, such as accounting closing checklists, accounting closing meetings and reconciliation processes, among other actions, should improve the timing of audit results. To ascertain that basic and recurrent information requested by auditors is ready, management will prepare an updated list of information normally requested and will prepare a OneDrive (cloud backup storage) where all information will be archived and ready to be delivered to the auditors as requested. This should provide efficiency and agility to response to auditors in a timely manner. Management expects to achieve full compliance with pending Single Audit reports’ issuance on or before March 30, 2026.

2024-006 Community Economic Adjustment of Establishment, Expansion, Realignment, or Closure of a Military Installation/ Finance Performance Reporting Deadlines Starting in Fiscal Year 2025-2026, LRA has implemented adequate tracking and oversight mechanisms to ensure timely submission of required reports. It developed and maintained a centralized compliance calendar listing all federal reporting deadlines with internals submission deadlines at least fifteen to thirty days before deferral due dates to allow for review and approval before final submission. Once the Finance Department recruits and gives adequate training to the additional staff it will strengthen its internal controls over grant reporting by assigning clear responsibilities to the preparation and timely submission of all required reports. The Finance Department has implemented within its monthly accounting closing procedures tracking and reporting calendar detailing pending reports, due dates, and completion status.

2024-003 Disaster Grants - Public Assistance Finance (Not A Major Program) FEMA Working Capital Advances LRA acknowledges the finding related to the Working Capital Advances (WCA) received through COR3 and their retention in the Authority’s bank account for more than 365 days without being disbursed. LRA has established and currently maintains written procedures for the management of federal funds, which are designed to comply with applicable federal cash management requirements. LRA is committed to safeguarding federal resources and ensuring their use strictly in accordance with Uniform Guidance. The delays experienced in the disbursement of the WCA funds are primarily attributable to external regulatory factors beyond the direct control of the Authority, including: • The ongoing review by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)’s Environmental and Historic Preservation (EHP) division, which is a prerequisite for project execution. • FEMA’s Environmental consultations are required under federal and local regulations, which have extended project timelines. • The project versioning process arising from requests for improved projects that include additional mitigation measures under the Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP). These regulatory and compliance-driven requirements have temporarily limited the Authority’s ability to execute disbursements, resulting in the retention of funds until the necessary approvals are finalized. It is important to note that the Authority has continued to actively manage these projects, engaging with FEMA and other relevant agencies to ensure that all environmental, historic preservation, and mitigation requirements are fully addressed before project implementation begins. Furthermore, the Authority recognizes the recent programmatic changes to the WCA program implemented by COR3. In response, the Authority is strengthening its financial management practices to align with these revisions and will ensure that future advance requests are supported by a comprehensive spending plan, considering each project’s status to minimize delays associated with FEMA approvals. In cases where project reviews extend beyond anticipated timelines, the LRA may return the corresponding WCA funds to avoid prolonged retention. Once FEMA approval is obtained, the LRA will then reapply to COR3 for the necessary advances.

Management Response: Management concurs with the recommendations and is committed to strengthening its internal controls and compliance with federal grant requirements. It is important to note that the SEFA process for FYE24 was complex due to Work in Process, connected to the St. Elizabeth and Chew Street projects that span multiple years and layered funding sources. Additionally, recent staff transitions did not permit overlap and led to limited but growing clarity relative to funding relationships despite standard operating procedures. To address this finding management will implement the following corrective actions: - Relevant personnel will receive targeted training on SEFA preparation and federal compliance requirements. This will include workshops, updated guidance materials, and ongoing support to ensure consistent and accurate reporting. - Management will enhance its grant tracking processes to ensure that capitalized and noncapitalized expenditures are properly identified and reported. This includes evaluating the current accounting system’s capabilities and implementing supplemental tracking tools where necessary. - A thorough review of prior year data will be conducted to ensure future SEFA submissions are based on expenditure-based reporting and reconcile to supporting documentation. Management will also implement a formal review process prior to SEFA submission to ensure compliance with Uniform Guidance. These actions will be completed prior to preparation of the SEFA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Management believes these steps will strengthen internal controls, improve compliance, and support the integrity of federal reporting.

Management concurs with the recommendation and is committed to strengthening internal controls over the grant reporting process to similar overcharges in the future. To address the identified issues, FWCRC will implement the following corrective actions: - Draw Submission Reviews: We will establish a formal review protocol for all draw submissions to verify that expenses have not been previously reimbursed. This will include cross-referencing prior draws and maintaining detailed tracking logs. - Staff Training: Targeted training sessions will be provided to accounting and grants management personnel. These sessions will focus on federal cost principles, allowable costs, and proper drawdown procedures to ensure compliance and consistency. - Oversight and Reconciliation: Supervisory review procedures will be enhanced to include reconciliation of all funding sources prior to draw submission. This will help ensure accuracy and prevent duplication of reimbursements.

Management concurs with the finding. External experts were engaged to assist in preparing the indirect cost rate calculation, which is currently under internal review. The College plans to submit the finalized rate to the pass-through entity in 2025 and will take all necessary actions resulting from this submission to ensure compliance. Upon completion of this process, management will update internal procedures and provide comprehensive staff training to ensure the accurate preparation of the indirect cost rate and full compliance with 2 CFR Part 200. To strengthen ongoing compliance and accountability, management will implement an annual review and recalculation of the indirect cost recovery rate. The Controller will oversee the annual recalculation, while the Technical and Internal Controls Accountant will review the indirect cost pool to confirm the allowability and allocability of expenses. These measures will reinforce accuracy, transparency, and integrity in the administration of federal awards.

Action Taken (Unaudited): Management is in the process of updating its control procedures to include proper written policies for the internal control over financial reporting to ensure conformity with U.S. GAAP. Management will implement funding-level tracking, using unique “Class” identifiers within the accounting software for each funding source (as projects are tracked using “Customer” field). The Finance Committee will review reports of expenditures by grant twice per year to confirm no double reported expenses. Erin Koksal, Financial Controller, is responsible for this corrective action. Anticipated completion date is December 31, 2025.
