Finding 2022-003: Reporting - Material Weakness/Non-Compliance Federal Program ? Education Stabilization Funds Federal Agency ? U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Entity ? Not Applicable Assistance Listing Number ? 84.425 Federal Award Year ? June 30, 2022 Criteria: Section 18004(e) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), directed institutions receiving funds under Section 18004 of the Act, to submit a new, separate form covering aggregate amounts spent for HEERF I, HEERF II and HEERF III funds each quarterly reporting period (September 30, December 31, March 31, June 30), concluding after an institution has expended and liquidated all (a)(1) Institutional Portion, (a)(2) and (a)(3) funds and checks the ?final report? box. Condition/Context: The Center posted two inaccurate reports to their website, including the Quarterly Budget and Expenditure Reporting under CARES Act Sections 18004(a)(1) Institutional Portion, 18004(a)2), and 18004(a)(3) reports covering the quarters ending December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022. Two of the five reports tested did not comply with requirements. Effect: The Center did not provide the public with accurate and reliable data related to the 18004 (a)(3) funds. Cause: The Center did not fill out the forms correctly nor in accordance with the HEERF reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Recommendation: The Center should assign an individual to monitor reporting requirements of awards to ensure the Center is in compliance. In addition, the Center will need to submit updated reports to reflect accurate presentation of the information noted previously that during the year, the Center drew down funds and subsequently reported expenses, it did not incur eligible costs for. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding. While the Center did not provide the public with accurate data, the Center believed it had filed the reports correctly at the time. Corrective Action Taken: Since the finding was identified during the audit, the Center plans to submit the revised reports stated above.
