Finding Text

2023 – 006 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Federal Program Title: Student Financial Aid Assistance Listing Number: Student Financial Aid Cluster Award Period: July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023 Type of Finding: - Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance - Other Matters Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Department of Education requires the College to report the disbursement dates and amounts to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system within 15 days of disbursing Direct Loan (34 CFR 685.309) funds to a student. Condition: During our testing, we noted 1 of the 40 disbursements tested had incorrect disbursement dates reported to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. Questioned Costs: None Context: The College does not have a process in place to accurately report the date of Direct Loan disbursements. Cause: The College does not have a process in place to accurately report the date of Direct Loan disbursements. Effect: Students interest accrues based on disbursement date reported to COD, thus interest calculation could be skewed due to the discrepancy in disbursement dates reported. Repeat Finding: Yes, see finding 2022-004. Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend the College evaluate its procedures and policies around reporting Direct Loan disbursements to COD to ensure that student information is reported accurately and timely. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
