Finding Text

Federal Agency: US Department of Education Federal Program Title: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 84.063, 84.268, Federal Award Identification Number and Year: P268K242046 - 2024, P063P232046 - 2024, P268K246759 - 2024 Award Period: July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024 Type of Finding: Compliance, Other Matter Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria or specific requirement: Per 2 CFR 200.303, nonfederal entities receiving federal awards are required to establish and maintain internal controls designed to reasonably ensure compliance with federal laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. Additionally, 34 CFR 682.610, states that institutions must report accurately the enrollment status of all students regardless of if they receive aid from the institution or not. Changes to said status are required to be reported within 30 days of becoming aware of the status change, or with the next scheduled transmission of statuses if the scheduled transmission is within 60 days. Condition: The Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences (OSU CHS) did not properly report student enrollment changes for students who received federal student aid to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Context: During our testing of 2 students at OSU CHS, we identified 1 student that had incorrect program enrollment effective date. Questioned costs: None Cause: OSU CHS did not have proper procedures in place to verify students' status in NSLDS matched the institutions records in a timely manner. Effect: The University was not in compliance with the requirements to properly report student enrollment data correctly. Repeat finding: No Recommendation: We recommend OSU CHS review current processes for reporting to NSLDS and implement procedures to ensure program enrollment submissions are reported accurately. View of responsible official: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a plan to correct the finding.
