Management Response – Because of the size of the office and the district, we are precluded from maintaining a proper staff size to ensure a proper segregation of duties. We are aware of this condition, and we realize that the concentration of duties and responsibilities in a limited number of individuals in not desirable for an effective system of internal control. To mitigate the issue of lack of segregation of duties, we have cross trained virtually each of the business office employees. While we do have a dedicated payroll person, another individual will perform cross checks & verifications independently. The same goes for issuing checks, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and activity funds. These functions are overseen by the business manager.

The School Corporation did not include Davis Bacon wage rate requirements in its contract with vendor which includes labor installation. The School Corporation did not obtain the weekly payroll reports certifications from vendor installing equipment.

The amount disbursed for the project totaled $50,000. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Management will ensure all construction projects anticipated to incur labor costs greater than $2,000 include a signed contract containing a Davis-Bacon wage rate provision and will monitor the vendor to ensure compliance with certified payroll reporting requirements.

Admissions and Records will ensure that error reports provided by NSCH are returned to NSCH within 10 business days to allow for a timely submission to the National Student Loan Database (NSLDS). Staff in Admissions and Records has been specifically assigned to complete error reports to contribute to a prompt submission. The Admissions and Records department will collaborate and communicate with the Financial Aid department to identify students with error codes in NSLDS in an effort to correct them.

The District and its Financial Aid department will continue to review and enhance the workflow and procedures of Return to Title IV. The goal of these efforts has been to meet the compliance requirements of Return to Title IV.

The District has included the various department areas and staff that are involved in the process to ensure the schedule is consistent and that the funds are returned in the appropriate time frame.
