Corrective Action Plan Finding Number: 2025-002 – Return of Title IV Funds Controls Finding: There is no evidence of a control in place by the College to review Return of Title IV Fund calculations. Corrective Action Planned Given the size of the Financial Aid Office, the College will implement compensating internal controls to ensure R2T4 calculations are accurate, timely, and compliant with federal regulations. Effective immediately, the College will implement the following controls: 1. Standardized R2T4 Processing All R2T4 calculations will be performed using the Department of Education Common Origination & Disbursement (COD) system to ensure consistent application of federal formulas. Official withdrawal dates will be confirmed using Registrar records prior to calculation. 2. Independent Post-Calculation Review Each R2T4 calculation will be reviewed by an individual other than the preparer, where feasible, or through supervisory review when staffing is limited. The review will confirm the accuracy of withdrawal dates, days attended, calculation inputs, and Title IV funds included. 3. Coordination and Reconciliation The Office of Financial Aid will coordinate with Student Accounts to ensure R2T4 results are applied correctly to the student account and that returned funds are processed within required timelines. 4. Documentation and Retention Evidence of review, including reviewer initials and date, will be retained for each R2T4 calculation. A simple R2T4 review checklist or log will be maintained. 5. Ongoing Oversight The Director of Financial Aid will conduct periodic spot checks to ensure R2T4 calculations and reviews are completed accurately and timely. Responsible Official: De Rodrick Jonkins, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: Implemented effective August 1, 2025 Additional Context The Director of Financial Aid assumed the role effective April 1, 2025, after prior corrective actions had been identified. While formal independent review controls were not documented during the audit period, there were no identified R2T4 compliance issues, late returns, or calculation errors. The corrective actions above are intended to formalize review processes and further reduce compliance risk.
