FINDING 2022-002 Federal Program Information: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund (?ESF?) - Student Aid Portion (CFDA 84.425E) Criteria or Specific Requirement (Including Statutory, Regulatory or Other Citation): L. Reporting ? Special Reporting ? Quarterly Public Reporting ? The University is required to publicly post certain information for the Student Aid Portion award on the University?s website in a conspicuous location. Institutions must post certain key line items identified by the ED as critical information directly to their website each calendar quarter, and reports must be updated no later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Condition: Certain key line items were not correctly reported in the University?s quarterly reports. Cause: Administrative oversight with respect to quarterly public reporting requirements. Effect or Potential Effect: The University is not in compliance with reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None. Context: For 2 of 2 quarters selected for testing, certain required key line items for the Student Aid Portion awards reported on the University?s website contained inaccurate information. Identification as a Repeat Finding: No similar finding identified in the prior year. Recommendation: We recommend the University enhance its policies and procedures over quarterly reporting to ensure that all required information is reported accurately, in accordance with federal regulations. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Queens? quarterly reports were updated and submitted with all corresponding and accurate disbursements appropriately noted, but the University did not include quarterly disbursements and cumulative disbursements in the reports. All prior and future reports will be updated to make the distinction between funds disbursed in that quarter and total disbursed.
