HEERF Reporting Requirements (Student Portion) Other Matter DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ALN #: 84.425E Federal Award Identification #: P425E200634 Condition: HEERF reporting was not always done accurately or timely. The College did not update their website for HEERF reporting for the Student Funding portion after September 30, 2021 when there were additional disbursements after this date. Criteria: 2 CFR 200.329, 86 FR 26213 The College was required to post the Student Quarterly Report to their website within 10 days of the end of the quarter in which the funds were spent. Questioned Costs: $0 Context: During the audit, it was noted that the College did not continue to update their website with the HEERF reporting requirements for the student grants though they made disbursements through May 2022. Cause: Turnover in staffing. There were multiple rounds of HEERF funding released, each with different requirements, which led to a gap in understanding of the requirements of the HEERF reporting. Effect: The College was not in compliance with the reporting requirements of HEERF. Identification as repeat finding, if applicable: N/A Recommendation: We recommend that the College complete the HEERF quarterly reporting and make this available on their website until they no longer need to based on compliance requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan.
