We concur with this finding and have implemented measures to mitigate the repetition of additional occurrences. In July 2023, a new policy was implemented that requires employees to record their time as a percentage across all grants in which they work. The employee records this allocation at least weekly within a time keeping software system. Employees and supervisors are now required to review and acknowledge payroll allocations across grants by signing weekly timesheets. Timesheets will be retained and used as backup by the Grants Department when invoicing the Grantor for expense reimbursement. In addition, we have updated our Policy and Procedures Manual to reflect this policy. An additional policy was implemented in November 2024 requiring one Accounting staffer and one Grant staffer review employee timecards versus invoices prior to submission. The Policy and Procedures Manual has been updated to reflect this policy. Responsible Parties: Kimberly Yoo, CFO Whitney Gillis, Director of RD Mary Guzman, Accounting Supervisor Date Corrected: November 2024

AUDIT FINDINGS Finding Reference Number: Finding 2024-002 Description of Finding: Statement of Condition: The Financial Aid Office does not consistently report disbursement dates to COD correctly. Two (2) out of six (6) students tested had been incorrectly reported to COD. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: According to 34 CFR 668.164(a), Disbursing Funds, an institution makes a disbursement of Title IV, HEA funds on the date that the institution credits a student’s account at the institution or pays a student or parent directly with funds received from the Secretary; or institutional funds used in advance of receiving Title IV, HEA funds. Corrective Action: To ensure timely and accurate processing of financial aid disbursements, the Office of Accounting and the Office of Financial Aid will implement a Disbursement Memorandum outlining specific procedures. The Office of Accounting must upload disbursement files into PowerCampus on the same day they are received from the Office of Financial Aid. If disbursement files cannot be uploaded due to system issues, staff illness, or other delays, the Office of Accounting must immediately notify the Office of Financial Aid. In such cases, the Office of Financial Aid will update disbursement dates in COD as needed. The Office of Financial Aid already has a process in place to identify and correct mismatches between disbursement dates in PowerFAIDS and COD, and this process will continue as part of ongoing reconciliation efforts. The Office of Accounting will maintain awareness of the importance of same-day uploads and exercise diligence in ensuring compliance with this requirement. This corrective action plan will enhance coordination between offices, reduce discrepancies, and improve compliance with federal reporting requirements.
