Finding 2021-001: Other Compliance Finding Contact Persons for Corrective Action Plan: Wendy Hughes - Controller, Missy Perry - Financial Aid Director, and Caroline Chappell ? Grants Administrator Corrective Action Plan: The following is Piedmont Technical College?s response to the other compliance finding, that the College was required to publicly post quarterly reports on expended funds from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund by the 10th of the month following the June 30, 2021 quarter end and did not meet this requirement. This was primarily due to misinterpretation of the requirements since the College ? at the June 30 reporting deadline - was still in the process of completing year end closing entries. Going forward the College will report by the 10th of the month, and then edit as needed once all entries are complete. Additionally, we will set calendar reminders and implement procedures that will require a secondary review and interpretation of compliance by the PTC Grants Administrator prior to the 10th of the month following each quarter end through the entirety of the grant award period. This will serve as an additional assurance that the reports have been submitted by the Finance and Financial Aid Offices by the required deadlines. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2022
