Policies and procedures related to the preparation and review of the financial statements and the SEFA are being reviewed for efficacy. Participants within the College’s Finance and Accounting functions that participated in the year-end reconciliation process and completion of audit related materials, were new to their roles this audit season. Given the challenges encountered this year, the requirements for timely completion of monthly and annual financial reporting efforts has been reinforced with all personnel involved with financial statement and audit preparation activities. The Vice President of Finance/CFO (VPCFO) has met with the team to create a financial statement calendar for each monthly close and related tasks. Each party responsible, from the Controller to the Accounting Clerks have specific responsibilities during the preparation process with assigned dates for completion of such tasks. This calendar has been discussed with, and distributed to, the Accounting/Finance team to ensure timely financial statement production. The Controller will be responsible for holding individuals responsible to meet the deadlines. The process begins with report running to begin the compilation process of monthly financial statements and supporting schedules and ends with the production of the final monthly Board Package. The Controller will meet with the Director of Accounting on an ongoing basis during each production cycle to confirm necessary reports are completed and summarization of the financial statements are on time. The Controller will be responsible for final review and distribution of Package to the VPCFO for monthly Board review. This same process will take place for the year end audit. The VPCFO has also met with the team to update the year end close schedule for a timely annual close and audit completion. Finance and Accounting staff are currently reviewing and updating the existing year-end process to ensure that all significant tasks and duties are documented and assigned. This effort will be completed by May 1, 2025, with the updated closing and audit procedures being utilized for subsequent audits. The procedure review and update process will be completed annually. The drafting of the SEFA will be completed by the Restricted Funds Accountant and reviewed for accuracy by the Director of Accounting and the Controller. The procedure is being updated within the process outlined above and will also be completed by May 1, 2025. These instructions include the process to be used for summarization of restricted funds monthly and annually for the SEFA compilation. Further, the Board of Trustees Finance Committee has mandated that a meeting with management and auditors in September will be held each year to review the College’s audit preparedness status and the timeline ensures the timely and accurate preparation of the financial statements and SEFA by management. Finally, the College’s Human Resources department has streamlined hiring processes to minimize position vacancy thereby enhancing process efficiency and continuity. Additionally, there is an increased focus within the Finance area to expedite hiring for vacant positions to minimize future occurrences of turnover-related issues

2024-001 - Student Financial Aid Cluster - (a) Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (b) Federal Work Study Program (c) Federal Perkins Loan Program - Federal Capital Contributions (d) Federal Pell Grant Program (e) Federal Direct Student Loans (f) Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH), Assistance Listing No. (a) 84.007 (b) 84.033 (c) 84.038 (d) 84.063 (e) 84.268 (f) 84.379- Year Ended June 30, 2024 Condition: The College did not properly calculate the refunds for withdrawal students for 1 out of the 8 students tested (12.5%) due to using incorrect student status for Pell. We consider this finding to be an instance of noncompliance in relation to Special Tests and Provisions and a repeat of prior year finding 2023-002. Statistical sampling was not used. Management Response: The incident identified above was made due to a system error which caused one course to appear twice on the student resulting in incorrect full-time status, which in tum resulted in the SIS calculating the return of title IV funds incorrectly. Corrective Action Plan: Each student will be manually reviewed and verified for accuracy for credit hours enrolled and credit hours billed to cross check student enrollment status prior to completing R2T4. In addition, moving forward all R2T4 calculations will be done in COD to ensure accuracy of the funds required to be returned. Responsible Person: Chilwana Thompson, Director Implementation Date: 10/25/2024

Finding 2024-003: Voucher Management System Reporting NHA Corrective Action: Due to the timing of the agency receiving the Financial Statements after the due date of the VMS, it wasn’t possible to reconcile the VMS to finial numbers, therefore some estimations were made during that time. Newton Housing Authority had the full intention of contracting the fee accounting firm to complete the reports. There were some complications with granting the firm access to our WASS system. Since the roles were removed from the Executive Director, then assigned to the board chair the task at hand complicated the process further. The board chair couldn’t assign the roles as she didn’t have the right roles for her to assign. The assignment of the roles to board chair has been completed, the fee accountant has corrected the remaining reports and is completing them as needed with someone reviewing the report including the Executive Director prior to submission.

Finding 2024-002: Allowable Activities NHA Corrective Action: A new study has been completed by the administrative staff then reviewed by the fee accounting staff. The percentage of allocation has been adjusted according to the time spent on each program. With those results the percentages of the time allocation increased. The agency was transferring funds on a regular basis by the old percentage estimation which was less than the new time study percentage. The percentage of allocation was more than the estimation which then created a larger deficit of repayment. Now that the percentage has been determined the estimated amount will be more accurate percentages. It has been difficult to get financial statements in time to make a transfer of percentages for the exact amount. Going forward, the fee accounting firm will complete the monthly financial reports and will add a transmittal letter. Voucher program’s reimbursement of Public Housing Funds will be based on each month’s transmittal letter which will allow for exact reimbursement of prior month along with estimate of the current month. Allocated expenses once the financials are received from the fee accountant.

The School had established processes to ensure the accuracy of required reports. For the PDE Reconciliation of Cash on Hand Quarterly Reports, all filings were reviewed with management immediately following submission. Given the low risk of material misstatement associated with these reports, the existing procedures were effective in ensuring compliance. For the annual report, management conducted all reviews, discussions and approvals prior to submission; however, the review process was not formally documented. To strengthen internal controls, the School will implement a process to ensure that all reviews and approvals are documented in advance of submission. This will provide clear evidence of oversight while maintaining the efficiency of the reporting process. This is further evidenced by the Principal/CAO providing documented approval of the most recent report submission.
