Finding Text
See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table 2022-004: Special Tests - Number of Students Served Criteria: Per the Sub-Award Agreement between the University of Wyoming and the College (the Contractor), ?Subrecipient shall provide services designed to assist in achieving the following objectives for its selected GEAR UP students: ? GEAR UP Wyoming (GUWY) will serve a minimum of 2,000 participants each year. (Contractor is required to serve at least 350 of the 2,000 students).? Condition/context: The number of students served by the College during the year was recorded at 298, an underserving of 52. Questioned costs: $0 Cause: Historically, the College has been able to meet the minimum required students served via internal tracking as well as subrecipient monitoring provided by the University of Wyoming. However, during the year, the GEAR UP program experienced turnover in the director position and other matters impacted the ability of the former outreach coordinator/database technician to perform her normal duties. As such, the College did not follow its internal procedures to track students served and maintain continuous contact with the University of Wyoming to ensure that the minimum number of students were being served. Effect: The University of Wyoming could opt to not renew the College?s program funding if the minimum number of students served requirement is not met. Identification as a repeat finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the program have a process in place to ensure all necessary procedures/controls are adhered to, even in times of positional turnover or when the individuals who usually perform those procedures/controls are on leave. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: Management concurs with the finding. See Exhibit I.
