The departments involved in the enrollment reporting process are continuing to review and enhance the workflow in order to report accurately. Monthly submissions by Information Technology Systems (ITS) will be completed in a timely manner to allow for prompt communication of corrections that are required, which are communicated to Admissions and Records by the National Student Clearinghouse (NSCH). 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 Admissions and Records and Financial Aid departments will work with the Internal Auditor to perform semiannual reviews of NSLDS data to ensure accuracy of student records.

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 developed a schedule with specific dates per term for when calculations will be completed, when requests will be made to Accounting to return the District portion of funds within 45 days, and provide ample timelines that can ensure funds get returned within compliance. 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. The Financial Aid department will continue to meliorate the task of the Return to Title IV calculations. This task is a work function of the Financial Aid Coordinator position. While staff has been trained to perform this function, the District is currently in recruitment to fill the Financial Aid Coordinator position. While the Coordinator will be expected to perform the calculations, they will be submitted to the Director of Financial Aid for review and to ensure accuracy.

FINDING 2024-001 – SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY- PROCUREMENT AND SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT- INTERNAL CONTROL OVER VERIFICATION AGAINST THE SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (“SAM”) Description of Finding: 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, (Uniform Guidance) requires compliance with provisions of procurement, suspension, and debarment. Non-federal entities are required to ensure that they do not award contracts or make subawards to any parties that are suspended or debarred from receiving federal funds. This verification may be accomplished by checking the System for Award Management (SAM). The Town did not have a process in place to check that vendors were not suspended or debarred by checking the System for Award Management (SAM). Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The Town agrees with the audit finding. Corrective Action: The Town has established policies and procedures since the vendor that was selected for testing was awarded the contract to ensure vendors are not suspended or debarred by checking the System for Award Management (SAM) and maintain documentation showing that verification. Name of Contact Person: Keri Rowley, Director of Finance & Administrative Services (860) 652-7587. Projected Completion Date: Already implemented.

Finding Number: 2024-001 Anticipated Completion Date: January 31, 2025 Responsible Contact Person: David Tatro, CEO Planned Corrective Action: The Organization provided approximately 2,300 self-pay encounters to be audited for the year ended May 31, 2024. 40 encounters were identified for compliance testing related to the sliding fee. Three self-pay accounts were identified with issues which resulted in this finding. The issues related to patients receiving an improper discount rate. This issue will be resolved as of January 31, 2025 by reviewing all sliding fee scale applications for accuracy. The Organization will continue to monitor the sliding fee scale amounts applied to ensure ongoing compliance with the requirements. The Organization will review five sliding fee scale applications each week to ensure eligibility determination, billing and collection follows the Sliding Fee Discount Program. This will go through May 2025 with a reassessment at that point, based on the results of the internal review.

We concur with the auditors' finding that the Project failed to complete and submit recertifications within the required timeframe. HANDS did fail to complete recertifications timely not due to insufficient tracking, but due to lack of staff. We understand that late certifications can lead to inaccurate rents/subsidies, which lead to subsequent adjustments. We will continue interviewing applicants for vacant positions, and existing employees will continue to assist in covering the vacant positions without putting their own portfolios at risk of falling behind. We will strengthen training in the area of sending tenants HUD required notices of recertification and following the steps for termination of subsidy. The tracking system is built into our property management software, and all managers and assistant managers have been trained in its use. As stated above, we will follow the same plan of action for HUD/LIHTC training after the initial 90-day probationary period has concluded.

We concer with the auditors' finding that the project did not have adequate internal controls in place over tenant eligbility determination process per HUD's guidelines. While HANDS has internal policies and procedures for review of tenant certifications, the compliance position has been vacant and never properly functioned as it should. The CEO, Matthew Good, and the Director of Community Management, Cathy Consilgio, had decided prior to the audit engagement that a third party would be contracted to review applicant files prior to move-in for all HUD subsidized properties. (We have used AJ Johnson to review/approve LIHTC/HOME files for several years.) Employee training had been put on hold due to the upcoming HOTMA changes, and as the dates for HOTMA were pushed, training lagged. Our policy is as follows: once a new hire Property Manager or Assistant Property Manager completes the initial 90-day probationary period, they will be scheduled for formal HUD occupany training, and formal LIHTC training if it applies to their portfolio. Current employes will receive training bi-annually, which may include training that occures during the PAHMA conferences. All employes receive Fair Housing Training at least bi-annually, with new employees being scheduled for the first available training after their initial 90-day probationary period. The tracking sheet will be updated as training occurs, and any certificates earned will be kept on file.
