Effect: Potential misstatement could occur if expenditure amounts are not accurately presented on the SEFA. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Context: Not applicable. Identification As A Repeat Finding: Yes. Recommendation: The School should develop a written consistent process to review the SEFA. Issues identified during the course of the review should be investigated and resolved in a timely manner.

On a monthly basis, reconciliations will be performed on grant submissions and expenditures, and reviewed by the Controller, Director of Accounting, or CFO.

Corrective Action Plan: In 2021, the office had downsized due to turnover in staff. While a process was in place for preparing the SEFA, a secondary review was not performed to verify resolution of outstanding items or variances. To strengthen the oversight of financial management in the School, Academica Nevada, the School?s management company, has increased staffing and realigned staff responsibilities to provide additional oversight of the SEFA. On a monthly basis, the SEFA will be reviewed by a secondary reviewer to ensure their accuracy and resolution of variances. This review process will be documented and maintained. We will continue to work with the various members of management to ensure audit resolution is received for the unresolved findings listed above.
