Finding 2025-001: Eligibility Recommendation: We recommend that management establish and implement formal policies and procedures for the administration of the FSEOG program, including clear guidance on the minimum and maximum award limits in accordance with federal regulations. Management should also provide adequate training to Financial Aid Office personnel on applicable federal requirements, perform supervisory reviews of award calculations prior to disbursement, and conduct periodic monitoring to ensure ongoing compliance with established limits. Response: The College acknowledges the findings resulting from the initial year of the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) program's implementation. The College recognizes that the finding resulted from deficiencies in newly implemented award procedures during the first year of the FSEOG program. In light of this, we wish to provide context regarding the situation and the corrective actions undertaken to address the issue. The seven students identified in this finding were awarded FSEOG funds that reflected their significant financial need and the institution's commitment to enabling students to cover both direct and indirect enrollment costs. An internal review conducted by the Financial Aid Office revealed that these awards inadvertently exceeded the $4,000 annual maximum established by program regulations. Following this internal review, prompt corrective measures were enacted, culminating in the issuance of a formal memorandum to the Comptroller in October of FY26. This memorandum directed adjustments to the affected students’ FSEOG awards to ensure compliance with the prescribed annual maximum. This internal monitoring process underscores the College’s proactive commitment to program integrity and fiscal accountability. Furthermore, the unexpended funds were returned to the U.S. Department of Education during FY26. The College remains dedicated to the proper administration of the FSEOG program and has reinforced its internal review procedures. This includes conducting more frequent audits of award ceilings during active disbursement periods to prevent similar errors in future award years. To address the finding, the College will implement the following actions: 1. Establishment of Formal Policy and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Within 30 days, the College will adopt and implement a dedicated section within the Financial Aid Policy and Procedures Manual specifically for the FSEOG program. This document will delineate federal award limitations, selection criteria based on exceptional financial need groupings, and compliance parameters in accordance with 34 CFR 676.20. 2. Staff Training and Competency Review: Prior to the next award cycle, the College will conduct a mandatory training workshop for all counselors and processing staff within the Financial Aid Office. This training will emphasize the identification of the FSEOG-eligible student population, the applicable selection criteria, and the importance of cross-referencing final award packages. 3. Monitoring and Long-Term Quality Control: The College will implement a mandatory two-tiered verification process. Prior to any FSEOG batch disbursement being sent to the Office of the Comptroller for final payment execution, a senior financial aid officer or director must review and authorize a compliance checklist. This checklist will confirm that there are no boundary violations, and any batch disbursement package containing an amount below $100 or exceeding $4,000 per academic year will be flagged for review. Quarterly compliance reviews will be documented and retained as part of the College's internal control records to verify continued compliance with FSEOG award requirements and to provide supporting documentation for future audits.

The Health System will take the following actions to resolve the noted conditions: 1. To address the noted conditions for user access reviews the Health System will update SOPs and documentation in two separate areas: a. Vendors/Consultants that do work for the Health System will be instructed to only move changes to production with explicit written approval from the business leader of the Human Resources (HR) function or Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) leadership. Verbal approval in meetings will be insufficient. The updated requirement will be communicated to all business leads in HR. b. Workday Releases are currently reviewed and tested by HRIS prior to implementation. During testing, the auditors noted two releases that did not have documentation of testing. The two releases relate to modules or functionality not used by the Health System. HRIS will update its practice of reviewing Workday releases to include documentation on release items that do not apply to the Health System and, therefore, do not require testing. This change will be incorporated in HRIS’s SOP and communicated to the team conducting the Workday release reviews. 2. HRIS leadership will update its SOP for UAR to require screenshot of the system generated report used for the UAR and require an HR VP to review the Sr. Manager’s (primary individual doing review) access. The HRIS team will be trained on the updates to the new SOP. 3. We have done a comprehensive review of our implementers/vendors and began disabling them from our systems when they no longer require access to our systems upon completion of services. HR business leads will be required to request implementor/vendor access disablement on the completion of their work. The HR business leads will be trained on this process. As a new additional control, implementers/vendors will be reviewed by HRIS on an annual basis mirroring the current security review process for other users.

Finding Reference: 2025-001 Program Name: Housing Voucher Cluster (14.871-CL) Description of Finding: HUD regulations require the Agency to inspect the unit leased to a family at least biennially to determine if the unit meets Housing Qualify Standards and must conduct quality control reinspections. Of the 40 files tested, 5 files did not contain documentation that the biennial inspection was performed. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency agrees with Cherry Bekaert in reference to audit finding 2025-001. Corrective Action: Management acknowledges the finding and notes that the error was caused by a software issue that has since been corrected. Upon discovery, the agency immediately remedied the issue with all impacted households and conducted a comprehensive review to determine the scope of the issue. The review identified 68 impacted households out of 6,440 total Housing Choice Voucher program households, representing less than 1% of the total program population.

Morrow MHA made a decision as an Agency to automatically extend the voucher time to assist the participant in successfully utilizing their voucher without needing to request an extension. Most or all of the 4 voucher holders were disabled and successful in finding a unit between 61 – 120 days prior the voucher expiration. The strategy was applied to all participants receiving a voucher. In addition, it was implemented to lessen staff burden since the Agency was experiencing staffing challenges. Lastly, the market for available units was very limited for the rural county.
