Finding 2024-002: Lack of Internal Control Over Compliance for Food Distributions Corrective Action Plan: Food distribution invoice signed by one (1) partner agency did not agree to the actual weight disbursed. We have taken action to address this issue, and it has already been implemented.

Management has also developed new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and training programs for warehouse staff to ensure accurate documentation and compliance moving forward.

The new SOPs also include that partner agencies have at least 24 hours to contact the Organization for any issues with the distribution and the Organization will update documentation and/or collect the order to reflect the documentation.

Finding No. 2024-002 - Internal Controls over Student Financial Assistance Special Tests and Provisions Condition: • During the compliance testing of “Special Tests and Provisions – Return of Funds” we noted that fourteen (14) return of funds calculations for the spring semester did not use the correct dates. • During the audit of the Federal Student Assistance Cluster, we noted one (1) instance the income tax reported on the Institutional Information Record (ISIR) did not match the information on the student’s income tax transcript. We also noted one (1) instance of the student’s household size not agreeing to the ISIR. Plan: • For the Return of Funds, this process was calculated by the PowerFAIDs system. The system did not consider the correct dates for spring break. RLC has moved to the Colleague system and the dates have been verified. • (1) For the verification area, one student’s AGI was reported using the wrong line of the tax return resulting in an understatement of AGI. This was a human error and did not result in a change in the student’s EFC. The specialist was told about the error and will pay closer attention to the numbers. (2) For the student with the household size, the student did not include all in the household on the verification worksheet. Due to the conflict, the student was contacted for the correct information. This information was received in writing and updated. However, the correct verbiage was not used. From that day forward, a student will be required to complete a new verification worksheet with the exact verbiage required. Anticipated Date of Completion: Immediately upon learning of the deficiencies. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Amy Epplin, Director of Institutional Compliance & Research
