Corrective actions: The Financial Aid Office has historically received a copy of the Fund 10 and Fund 13 ledgers from the Business Office and then calculated the tuition and fees, making sure to remove the concurrently enrolled students and inapplicable fees. This calculation was completed without knowledge that some of the Fund 13 Fees pass through and are already included the Fund 10 details. This resulted in a number of Fund 13 Fees being counted twice. This process has been corrected starting with the 24-25 FISAP. The CFO and Financial Aid Director worked together and the CFO calculated the tuition and fees for Part II Section E of the FISAP. This ensured the correct calculation and eliminated the inclusion of fees that were flowing through the two different GL fund accounts. Anticipated completion date: September 30,2024 Contact person: Rebecca McAllister/Kwin Wilkes

Corrective actions: Eastern Wyoming College currently has a service arrangement with National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to provide enrollment reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) per the requirements outlined in CFR 690.83 (b)(2), 685.309(b), and per the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide. These regulations require institutions to report changes in enrollment within a 60-day period. In fulfilling these requirements, EWC's Data Analyst utilizes reports in Colleague to complete the enrollment reporting requirements and submit these reports to NSC. This occurs every thirty days, which exceeding meets the 60-day requirement. EWC's Office of Institutional Research, through the Data Analyst, works with the Registrar and the Financial Aid Office to review and resolve any reporting errors with NSC. Historically, this process worked with minimal errors, but the HCM2 processes posed some unforeseen challenges in the reporting process. To meet these challenges, the Data Analyst sends the student rosters to the NSC. If the students on the SSCR roster are not part of the NSLDS database as a current borrower or recipient of federal student aid, then the Data Analyst must manually upload the information to the NSLDS instead of relying on NSC to initiate the reporting. The Student Financial Aid and Registrar Offices have implemented controls to ensure the proper and timely reporting of student status changes. Upon the implementation of an effective reporting control process, EWC will directly review the student status changes at the NSLDS rather than rely solely on its third-party service provider. For instances where students program length was not reporting correctly, this was resolved at the end of 2022-2023 award year, and the Financial Aid office updated all the Colleague screens used to pull the reports utilized by Institutional Research in submitting the report. EWC has developed and distributed Standard Operating Procedures to ensure the withdrawal dates reported in each office are using the same information. Anticipated completion date: October 2024 Contact person: Rebecca McAllister/Xi Feng

Condition The Organization's negotiated indirect cost rate agreement includes a provisional rate of 17.75% of direct costs for the period April 1, 2021 through March 21, 2024. The Organization charged indirect costs to its American Rescue Plan supplemental health center funding using a rate of 18.8% of direct costs for the period April 2023 through June 2023. The 18.8% rate that was used was obtained from an expired indirect cost rate agreement. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: The continued use of the expired indirect cost rate was caused by the departure of the CFO who was responsible for reviewing federal grant draw downs. After the CFO left, the controller continued using the expired indirect cost rate but now the new CFO has put in place a system of review the indirect cost rate in effect against all reports before drawing down the grant. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Frackson Sakala, CFO; Joseph McLaughlin, Controller; and Tran Le, the Assistant Controller. Anticipated Completion Date: This was immediately effected when this error was discovered during the FY2024 audit.

Condition The Organization was required to submit thirty-five reports during its fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, which comprised six financial reports and twenty-nine performance reports. Two performance reports and three financial reports were not filed timely. Reports that were filed late ranged from being 1 day late up to seventeen days late. The Organization was able to demonstrate its attempt to file 4 of the late reports before their respective due dates however due to login issues on the federal submission site, the reports were not timely filed. The fifth late submission was late by one day. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: The late submission of some grant reports was mainly due to login issues when the HRSA changed the process for logging in by adding on a second layer for authentication. A diary system has been developed to alert the CFO and the Controller when grant reports are due. Also, the Controller and Assistant Controller have been given access to both the Payment Management System and the Electronic Handbook (EHB) and have been trained in federal grant reporting so that in the absence of one the others can prepare the reports and submit in time. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Frackson Sakala, CFO; Joseph McLaughlin, Controller; and Tran Le, the Assistant Controller Anticipated Completion Date: This has been started and is expected to be completed by January 31, 2025.
