5 Cash Management Compliance Supplement Guidance No specific audit procedures published, Auditor must exercise judgement on what, how much Guidance in supplement (1.5 pages vs. 19 pages of handbook) focuses on: Methodology for reimbursement Advance: Focuses on applying funds to student account w/in 3 days of draw down, $250 limit of excess cash earnings Reimbursement: Implies testing necessary to prove that funds applied to students accounts occurs prior to draws, and draws do not exceed amounts applied at any given time Heightened Cash Monitoring: No specific guidance Reference to G5, implying that auditor should view external award activity report Implications related to establishment of separate, interest bearing bank account for federal funds Handbook Guidance Advance: A school that draws down FSA grant or Direct Loan funds under the advanced payment method must disburse those funds no later than three business days following the date the school receives them. If, after a school draws down FSA grant or Direct Loan funds, but before the school disburses them, the school discovers that it cannot disburse all the funds because one of the students for whom the funds were intended has not begun classes, the school must return those funds within the three-day period unless it can disburse them to another eligible borrower or as described under Excess Cash in Chapter 1. (SFA Handbook 4-63 Chapter 3) Frequency of Findings RARE Discussion: proving you re on the reimbursement method 9 Cash Management Common Compliance Testing Examine timing of application of Fall and Spring aid awarded to student account detail (sample basis) Obtain copy of G5 draw down amounts, by date, for award period Review actual deposits in bank account Discussion on student credit balance refunds Common Internal Controls over Compliance Leave a good trail!

6 Compliance Supplement Guidance specifically included in special tests and provisions, implying a heightened sense of importance Suggested audit procedures spelled out in guide (2-3 pages vs. 326 pages of NSLDS enrollment guide) : Review, evaluate and document procedures for updating student status for Pell and DL recipients, including how often said updates occur Determine if the school is meeting reporting requirements by having the school access NSLDS website and create the SCHER1. Compare dates the roster files were sent to the return dates to verify that the school returned the roster files within 15 days, and report any discrepancies related to the timeliness of the roster files Test accuracy and timeliness of the enrollment data certification by selecting a sample of students. Compare data in the NSLDS enrollment detail to the student s academic files, and verify that the institution is reporting accurate attendance changes within 30 days (unless roster file will be submitted within 60 days). Handbook/Enrollment Guide Excerpts CONTRACTS WITH THIRD-PARTY SERVICERS Schools are permitted to contract with consultants for assistance in administering the FSA programs. However, the school ultimately is responsible for the use of FSA funds and will be held accountable if the consultant mismanages the programs or program funds
7 13 Handbook/Enrollment Guide Excerpts A third-party servicer administers any aspect of the school s FSA participation. Examples of functions that thirdparty servicers perform are: processing student financial aid applications, performing need analysis, and determining student eligibility or related activities; certifying loans, servicing loans, or collecting loans; processing output documents for payment to students, and receiving, disbursing, or delivering FSA funds; conducting required student consumer information services; preparing and certifying requests for cash monitoring or reimbursement funding; preparing and submitting notices and applications required of eligible and participating schools, or preparing the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP); and processing enrollment verification for deferment forms or NSLDS enrollment reporting.

9 Verification Compliance Supplement Suggested audit procedures are spelled out in special tests and provisions Detailed steps Review the institution s policies and procedures for verifying student applications and verify that they meet the requirements of the applicable regulations or the institution s QAP If the institution has a QAP, select a sample of applications and review records to ensure that the processes required under the approved QAP were applied If the Institution does not have a QAP, select a sample of applications that were selected by ED for verification and review the student aid files to ascertain: Acceptable documentation to verify information required for the Verification Tracking Group to which the applicant is assigned Matched information on the documentation to the student aid application If necessary, submitted corrections to central processor and recalculated awards Frequency of Findings Unusual 17 Verification Common Tests for Compliance Most file review checklists developed by auditor s have a section for verification flags A small sample of the overall students may be selected In cases when no students in the file testing population were required to be verified, a separate selection would be made Auditor will review student file, and focus on verification form, robust nature of supporting documentation, and presence of authorizations/signatures/etc. Common Internal Controls Over Compliance Internal Audit function sample file review Designating an official with the appropriate skills, knowledge and expertise to sign off on verified information Common findings Missing student/parent signature Missing or poor student file documentation 18 9
