During fiscal year 2022, the University recognized that its FFATA process did not have adequate internal controls in place and reorganized its operations to provide strong controls and management review. As of July 1, 2022, FFATA reporting was moved into the team responsible for issuing subawards and new processes were implemented to ensure that FFATA reports processed with the outbound subawards. Examples of these new processes include, but are not limited to: (1) designating one team to process subawards in accordance with a uniform set of guidelines to ensure that the elements required for FFATA reporting in fsrs.gov are including in the subaward document(s) and to ensure that the responsible party for submitting FFATA reports is always aware of all outgoing subaward actions that may need to be reported and (2) the development and management of a subaward tracker identifying each subaward action issued by the University that includes, among other data elements, the FFATA status of each of those subaward actions (e.g. is the prime award subject to FFATA, has the reporting threshold been met for that subaward or subaward action, date of full execution of the subaward action, due date for submitting the report in fsrs.gov, and the date the report was submitted in fsrs.gov). Management will further review this process alongside the finding and ensure that current policies and procedures reflect best practices. The University will also process the 2 additional FFATA reports for One Heart Many Hands as soon as the organization?s registration is approved and their Unique Entity Identified (UEI) has been issued by the System for Award Management (SAM). Alexis Bruce-Staudt, Assistant Vice President for Research Administration and Operations, is responsible for the above remediation items being addressed by June 30, 2023.

The Office of Vice President of Research and the Controller?s Office worked with the University?s Workday Finance team to configure its accounting system with an automated control that prevents general (nonpayroll) expenditures from being charged to the grant after the period of performance end date, one root cause of cost transfers. In addition, for payroll expenditures, the above teams updated grant labor costing allocations in its accounting system to contain an end date that coincides with the period of performance end date which restricts labor costs from being charged after the period of performance. The post award specialists will begin reviewing the labor costing allocations on a periodic basis. Also implemented in fiscal year 2023, before each payroll is processed by the Director of Payroll within the accounting system, grants that have ended are identified by the Assistant Controller and Director of Sponsored Program Accounting and the payroll expenditures are removed from the feed and not charged to the grant. The University has also hired individuals whose sole responsibility is to review general (non-payroll) expenditures charged to grants. Further, the University?s post award specialists are continually trained on the importance of allowed and unallowed expenditures and are now reviewing grant level budget versus actual reporting on a periodic basis to identify noncompliance. Tara Thomason, Controller and Assistance Vice President, is responsible for addressing the above items by December 2023.

The Controller?s Office is amending our capital equipment policy to include the escalation for violations of noncompliance to Deans and/or Vice Presidents.

The Office of Vice President of Research and the Controller?s Office will collaborate to ensure effort verification reports are returned no later than 30 calendar days after they have been distributed, including escalating noncompliance to appropriate University leadership. These improvements are expected to be completed by December 2023. The Controller?s Office will review its indirect costs configurations within the grants module of Workday to ensure the automated calculation of indirect costs is correct. In addition, the Sponsored Programs Accounting team will manually reconcile indirect costs periodically at the grant level. These improvements are expected to be completed by December 2023. The University continues to have cost transfers in fiscal year 2023 as it reconciles its grants. However, to limit cost transfers in the future, the Office of Vice President of Research and the Controller?s Office worked with the University?s Workday Finance team to configure its accounting system with an automated control that prevents general (non-payroll) expenditures from being charged to the grant after the period of performance end date, one root cause of cost transfers.

The University will implement a two-step review internally to ensure records are reviewed within the required days. The University is filling vacant positions and reviewing additional operations support. Additionally, most of the errors occurred when a student did not answer completely or correctly the high school graduation information on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), questions 26 and/or 27. The system is set to hold any loan disbursements if this question and associated C Flags are present. Pell disbursement, however, bypasses this control. The University has established a procedure to identify in the extract log errors from attempting to disburse. A hold will be placed on the student account, and if any Pell disbursement is not fully accepted, it will be reversed. Cari Wickliffe, Assistant Vice President and Director of Student Financial Services, is responsible for addressing the above items by August 1, 2023

The University created additional reporting to identify student grade level reported on student system (SGASTDN) to the calculated grade level (ROASTAT) and any blanks. In addition, to the report which was created prior to this citing, training directly from the software provider has been scheduled. The University will review the option of creating a specific budget or packaging group for students in certificate programs. This would afford rules to award only level one loan limits regardless of calculated grade level. Standard cost of attendance (coa) is posted by system processing rules. In certain situations, the coa may be adjusted manually by staff. The student information system does track and log these updates. The University will increase training regarding coa adjustments, strengthen standard posting of changes and why. A report has been created to identify any change to the standard budget component. This will be added as a point of review for the compliance coordinator. The primary risk area is summer since it is a manual process. The use of algorithmic budgeting will assist with changes to coa as well. In addition, the University is working with software provider to establish algorithmic budgeting rules. This option allows cost of attendance (coa) to be completed by enrollment period versus aid periods. The benefit is coa can be estimated at full-time and prior to disbursement adjust coa to part-time. The office of student financial services is working with the University to identify and address additional human resources needed to best address increased volume and greater compliance. Cari Wickliffe, Assistant Vice President and Director of Student Financial Services, is responsible for addressing the above items by July 1, 2023.
