Cash Management
OTHER MATTERS

Cash is drawn based on what is available in COD, not based on a roster of what was disbursed. Criteria: 34 CFR 668.162 Questioned Costs: $0 Context: The College?s business office has been drawing what was available in COD when they have selected the reimbursement method. The financial aid has only been posting to COD what has been disbursed so there have not been significant differences in cash on hand. However, the requirement under the reimbursement method is to draw only what has been disbursed to students, which should be tied to the student rosters and not just what is listed as available. Cause: There was a misunderstanding of what is required under the reimbursement method. Effect: There could be cash draws that were in excess of disbursements made, resulting in noncompliance with cash management requirements. Identification as repeat finding, if applicable: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend each time disbursements are processed, financial aid should send the business office the records of students paid and the business office should only draw that much. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan.
