Finding 2024-002: Subrecipient Monitoring – Risk Assessment Contact: Damaris Johnson Title: Controller Phone number: 617-914-0500 Estimated Completion Date: December 31, 2025 Correct Action Plan: Management does not agree that there is a material weakness related to compliance with the grant. Management would like to note the following points: 1) There are two organizations, The Asian University for Woman (AUW), and the Asian University for Woman Support Foundation (AUWSF). These are separate organizations, but AUWSF exists solely to support AUW, and AUWSF is constantly monitoring AUW. 2) The US State Department has emailed that AUW is NOT a subrecipient of AUWSF. This email was forwarded to the auditors. 3) The US State Department has been substantially involved in helping AUWSF carry out this grant work, since 2022, and has not provided any feedback that the AUWSF should be carrying out additional risk assessment procedures on AUW. 4) AUWSF had a fiscal year 2023 single audit, done by the same auditors here, with substantially the same grants and there was no material weakness related to compliance noted during that audit. 5) A variety of information about the AUW and AUWSF including their clean audited financial statements, internal control policies, and other information is documented and publicly available on the AUW and AUWSF’s joint website. 6) AUWSF notes that it actively monitors and reviews the expenditures of the funds they provide to AUW. The funds are paid in installments and only upon satisfactory receipt of documentation of funds expended are subsequent installments sent. AUWSF receives monthly financial statements and bank statements from AUW to further reconfirm the AUW expenditures. Nonetheless, AUWSF takes any potential significant deficiency in internal control very seriously and will seek guidance from the US State Department to clarify this item and implement any necessary changes.

Federal Program: U.S. Department of Education - Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Perkins Loan Program, 84.038 Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, 84.007 Federal Work Study Program, 84.033 Criteria: The College is required to comply with 34 CFR Section 674.19, 34 CFR 675.19 and 34 CFR 676.19. Condition: During our testing of the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP), we noted that Part II (Application), Section E, Line 22: total tuition and fees for the award year July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 did not agree or reconcile to the statement of activities. Cause: The College did not have controls in place to ensure FISAP reporting was accurate. Effect: The College did not follow federal regulations regarding FISAP reporting accuracy. The provisions of 34 CFR Section 674.19, 34 CFR 675.19 and 34 CFR 676.19 were not followed and thus the total tuition and fees for the award year July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 reported on the FISAP were greater than the tuition and fees on the statement of activities by $368,034. Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the College implement a control to ensure FISAP reporting is accurate. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The College concurs with the finding. A system of controls will be implemented to ensure accurate data is reported on all required reporting.

Federal Program: U.S. Department of Education - Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, 84.007 Criteria: The College is required to comply with 34 CFR Section 676.l0(a). Condition: During our testing of eligibility, we selected 40 samples and noted one instance where a student was disbursed a Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) but was not eligible due to not having the lowest expected family contribution (EFC). Cause: The College did not have controls in place to ensure entrance counseling was completed prior to a loan disbursement. Effect: The College did not follow federal regulations regarding FSEOG eligibility. The provisions of 34 CFR Section 676.l0(a) were not followed and thus a student was improperly disbursed FSEOG. Questioned Costs: There are a total of $800 of questioned costs associated with this finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the College implement a control and policy to ensure FSEOG is only disbursed to students with the lowest EFC. Corrective Action Taken or Planned: The College agrees with the finding. Controls have already been implemented to ensure that compliance with all federal and state requirements are met before aid is disbursed.

Federal Program: U.S. Department of Education - Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Direct Loan Program, 84.268 Criteria: The College is required to comply with 34 CFR Section 685.304(a)(2). Condition: During our testing of eligibility, we selected 40 samples and noted three instances where the loan disbursement date on the student's leger did not agree to the disbursement date on Common Origination and Disbursement (COD). Cause: The College did not have controls in place to properly review COD disbursement dates to verify all students had proper reporting to COD. Effect: The College did not follow federal regulations regarding reporting to COD. The provisions of 34 CFR Section 685.301(a)(2) were not followed and thus three students loans were improperly reported to COD. Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the College review all COD disbursements and perform monthly COD reconciliations by student to verify the disbursement date and amount matches the student ledger.

Federal Program: U.S. Department of Education - Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Direct Loan Program, 84.268 Criteria: The College is required to comply with 34 CFR Section 685.309(b ). Condition: During our testing of eligibility, official withdraws, and student status changes for graduates, we selected 40, one, and 21 samples, respectively. We noted three instances in eligibility testing, one instance in official withdraws, and one instance in student status change for graduates where a student's status changes were either not reported timely or accurately to the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS). Cause: The College did not have controls in place to ensure student's classification were being properly reported to the NSLDS. Effect: Student status changes were not reported within the required timeframe under federal regulations. The provisions of 34 CFR Section 685.309(b) were not followed and thus two students were not reported and subsequently not placed into loan repayment status in a timely manner. Questioned Costs: There were no questioned costs associated with this finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the College implement a control to ensure data is being reviewed for accuracy by the appropriate personnel before roster files are submitted to NSLDS. In addition, we recommend that the College submit roster files on a regular basis. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The College concurs with the finding. The Registrar's Office will implement a system of reviews and controls that ensure timely and accurate reporting of student status changes to the National Student Loan System (NSLDS).
