For administering FWS, the University must follow the procedures established in 34 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 675.19 for documenting a student?s FWS work, earnings, and payroll transaction. The University must establish and maintain an internal control system of checks and balances to ensure no unauthorized disbursement of funds to students will occur. During the fiscal year 2018, through the University?s internal audit procedures, it identified thirteen men?s soccer student-athletes receiving extra benefits from their FWS financial aid by over reporting their logged hours more than the actual hours worked. Failure to effectively implement internal controls over the management of the FWS program and the men?s soccer coach/assistant coach was not performing an adequate supervisory review to monitor the volume of hours reported by the student athletes. However, subsequent management detective controls did find the overreporting of hours. Unallowable FWS payments aggregated to approximately $30,000 for the period from the fiscal year 2015 through 2018. The students collectively logged more than 40 hours and up to 161.5 hours per week to complete their duties when only 37 to 40 hours were necessary. We recommend that management set parameters (maximum weekly hours) for each FWS position to mitigate overreporting of hours, adequately review and approve timesheets, and regularly monitor the hours using data analytics.

The University agrees with the findings and implemented various measures to correct this including prohibiting student athletes to work specifically for their sports in the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program. Additional layers of review of the FWS time entry and payroll records were also implemented during fiscal year 2019. Contact persons responsible for continued compliance review: Jasmine Santiago, Associate Vice President for Human Resources (jsantiago@barry.edu), Telephone: 305-899-4747 and Amanda Knight, Associate Athletic Director of Compliance (aknight@barry.edu), Telephone: 305-899-4084.
Per Federal Register Volume 82, Number 122 dated June 27, 2017, the University is required to submit the disbursement records to the Common Origination and Disbursement (?COD?) System no later than 15 days after making a Pell or Direct Loan disbursement. The former employee primarily responsible for COD reporting resigned in December 2018 and the tasks were reassigned to another employee, but not soon enough to comply with the reporting due date, thus resulting on late submission of reports in January 2019. During the year, our test of disbursement reporting to the COD system noted fourteen (14) instances out of the forty (40) samples selected for testing in which the disbursement records were submitted beyond 15 days after disbursements. Upon further investigation, we noted that these exceptions occurred only in January 2019. We recommend that management designate more than one person responsible for any reportorial requirements of the Department of Education to ensure that no similar administrative issues will be encountered in the future.

A new Financial Aid staff member began working on crediting Pell grants in the Spring 2019 term. All of the steps outlined in our procedure for crediting Pell grants and submitting disbursement records to COD were not followed. This was discovered with a quality control report. We provided additional training and the quality control report is run by another Financial Aid staff member to ensure this does not happen again. We have not had this issue with additional Pell disbursements. Contact Person: Aida Claro, Director of Financial Aid, Telephone: 305-899-3674, E-mail: aclaro@barry.edu
