2023 -005 Review And Approval Of The Schedule Of Expenditures Of Federal Awards (SEFA) – Significant Deficiency Criteria: The Uniform Guidance in 2 CFR Section 200.303 requires that non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards (i.e. auditee management) establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. The School should have a written process in place to perform a review of the SEFA, to include evidence of the resolution of variances, as well as a process to document the overall review and approval to ensure proper presentation, completeness, and accuracy of the SEFA. Condition: During the course of the audit, the engagement team noted a review process of the SEFA had been implemented during 2023. However, there was no formal written review process. Cause: The entity does not have a written process in place to review the SEFA, to include retaining evidence of the resolution of variances, as well as documentation of the overall review and approval. Effect: Potential misstatement could occur if expenditure amounts are not accurately presented on the SEFA. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Context: Not applicable. Identification As A Repeat Finding: Yes. Recommendation: The School should develop a written consistent process to review the SEFA. Issues identified during the course of the review should be investigated and resolved in a timely manner. View Of Responsible Officials: While there was a review of the SEFA, the documentation of said review did not occur properly. Management has put in place a process to document preparation/review of the SEFA evidenced by signature and date.

These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Compliance: Per the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Enrollment Reporting Guide, schools are required to report enrollment and the Program-Level in addition to the Campus-Level. Included in this required reporting is an Enrollment status for each program which a student is enrolled. The Code of Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 685.309 requires that enrollment status changes for students be reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Regulations require the status include an accurate effective date. Condition: The enrollment status of graduation for two students was not updated to NSLDS from the correct withdrawn status. Questioned costs: None Context: This condition occurred for 2 out of 22 students selected for testing. Cause: These two students stop attending in the Fall 2022 semester. At that time, the two students were reported correctly to NSC and NSLDS with an enrollment status as withdrawn from institution with the end of fall semester date. Subsequently, both students graduated in Spring 2023. As part of the College’s normal end-of-term business practice, the College supplies a graduation file to NSC. The graduation file lists all students who graduated for the term. The graduation file for Spring 2023 supplied to NSC properly included these two students. Unfortunately, NSC does not automatically update a student’s status if the student has been away from the College for more than 120 days. These two students fell within that window since their last day of attendance was during the Fall 2022 semester. When NSC uploaded the spring graduation file to NSLDS, these two students were marked as grad not applied due to both students being in a withdrawn status for over 120 days. Moving forward, the College will add an additional step to the reporting business process and manually update students who have graduated, but have not been enrolled for more than 120 days. Effect: Enrollment status was not updated properly to NSLDS. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the College review its reporting procedures to ensure that students’ statuses and enrollment information are correctly and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

Effect: Potential noncompliance could occur if expenditure amounts are not reviewed by the principal for accuracy and completeness. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Context: These audit findings represent a systemic issue. Identification As A Repeat Finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: The School should maintain proper documentation for all payroll transactions.
