VCC is\nthe fiscal agent for three GEAR UP partnership grants awarded in 1999, three continuation\nawards in 2000, and four new GEAR UP partnership grants awarded in 2000 totaling\n$3,023,019. The objectives of our audit were to determine whether the seven partnerships were\neligible entities; whether VCC maintained adequate documentation to support the required match\ntotaling $4,972,373; and whether the claimed matching costs were allowable, allocable, and\nreasonable. We found that:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t The partnerships met the requirements for an eligible entity by providing documentation\n of minimal participation by two community partners for each grant.\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t VCC did not assure that it complied with the programs\xe2\x80\x99 matching requirement in\n accordance with legislative, regulatory, and administrative requirements. Contrary to\n Federal regulations, six of the seven GEAR UP partnerships did not contribute\n $1,600,749 of the required non-Federal cost-share (match). VCC fell short of required\n match amounts because VCC only claimed sufficient match to meet the statutory\n minimum 50 percent of total project costs instead of the higher proposed percentages as\n required by GEAR UP regulations and contained in the applications.\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t VCC claimed unallowable matching costs totaling $4,105,975 for all GEAR UP grants\n because all costs were calculated using commercial rental rates instead of the actual\n depreciation costs or use allowance as required by Federal cost principles.\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t VCC included unallowable, unallocable, and unreasonable room usages on the\n spreadsheets documenting the facilities match costs. The spreadsheets contained\n numerous overstatements because duplicated costs were claimed, shared use rooms were\n charged 100 percent to the grant, and claimed hours were in excess of actual hours used.\n We have not calculated all instances of these errors and overstatements because we have\n already questioned the costs based on the unallowable method of calculating facilities\n costs.\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 1\n\x0cWe recommend that the Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education require that VCC\nofficials:\n\n1.1 \t refund $496,932, the amount of Federal expenditures required to be converted to match\n in order to conform to the regulation requiring the partnership to comply with the\n application match percentages for the six under-matched grant awards.\n\n1.2 \t comply with the stated percentage in each of its GEAR UP applications each year.\n\n2.1 \t refund $1,325,932 of Federal funds required to be converted to match in order to conform\n to the regulation requiring the partnership to comply with the application match\n percentages to cover the unallowable facilities and equipment match claim.\n\n2.2 \t establish controls to ensure any future claims of partners\xe2\x80\x99 facilities and equipment are\n computed using depreciation or use allowances.\n\n3.1 \t establish and implement policy and procedures to maintain proper record keeping for in-\n kind, non-Federal match according to applicable Federal regulations, including assurance\n that all claimed matching costs are allowable, allocable, and reasonable.\n\nVCC provided narrative comments in response to our draft report. VCC\xe2\x80\x99s narrative comments\nare included in their entirety in Attachment 1. VCC did concur that it had claimed duplicated\nand shared costs and with recommendation 3.1, but it did not concur with the remainder of our\nfindings or recommendations. We summarized VCC\xe2\x80\x99s comments and provided our response\nfollowing each finding. Our analysis of the VCC\xe2\x80\x99s comments did not persuade us to change our\noverall conclusions or recommendations for any of the findings.\n\n\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 2\n\x0c Introduction \n\n\nGaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP)\n\nCongress authorized the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs as\npart of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (Public Law 105-244). The GEAR UP\ninitiative is designed to accelerate the academic achievement of cohorts of disadvantaged middle\nand secondary school students. GEAR UP gives disadvantaged students and their families\npathways to college by partnering middle and high schools with colleges and community\norganizations. The goal is to support institutions of higher education, local schools, community-\nbased organizations, businesses, and States in working together to help students and their parents\ngain needed knowledge and strengthen academic programs and student services in the schools.\nGEAR UP provides two types of competitive grants, partnership and State, which support early\ncollege preparation and awareness activities at local and state levels. The Office of\nPostsecondary Education\xe2\x80\x99s Policy, Planning, and Innovation Office currently administers GEAR\nUP. GEAR UP grants are five years in length.\n\nPartnership grants are submitted on behalf of a locally designed partnership between one or more\nlocal education agencies (LEA) acting on behalf of an elementary or secondary school, one or\nmore degree-granting institution of higher education, and at least two community organizations\nor entities. These other entities could include such organizations as businesses, professional\nassociations, philanthropic organizations, community-based organizations, religious groups,\ncollege student organizations, State or local agencies, and parent groups.\n\nPartnership grants must include an early intervention component. The early intervention\ncomponent involves the project providing early college awareness and preparation activities for\nparticipating students through comprehensive mentoring, counseling, outreach, and supportive\nservices. The mission of GEAR UP is to significantly increase the number of low-income\nstudents who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education.\n\nThe first GEAR UP grant was awarded in 1999. During this first year, ED awarded 164\npartnership grants and 21 State grants totaling $120 million. In 2000, 73 new partnership grants\nand 7 new State grants were awarded and in 2001, 6 new partnership grants and 2 new State\ngrants were awarded. GEAR UP appropriations for 2000 totaled $200 million, with $295 million\nappropriated in 2001.\n\n\n\n\nED-OIG A07-B0011 Page 3\n\x0cValencia Community College (VCC)\n\nValencia Community College was established in the fall of 1967. Today VCC serves more than\n50,000 students a year, making it the fourth largest of Florida\xe2\x80\x99s 28 community colleges. VCC\nmaintains four campuses and two centers in the Orlando area. VCC became eligible for\nparticipation in the Federal student aid programs and other Higher Education Act programs,\nNovember 27, 1968. VCC is fully certified with the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and\nholds a current Program Participation Agreement that will expire on September 30, 2003.\n\nED awarded VCC, as fiscal agent, seven GEAR UP partnership grants. For fiscal year 1999,\nVCC was awarded three GEAR UP grants totaling $873,600. The following year in 2000, VCC\nwas granted continuations for its three grants in addition to being awarded four new GEAR UP\ngrants. The total Federal grant dollars for fiscal year 2000 was $ 2,149,419.\n\n1999 Grants Federal Award\n\nP334A990094 Osceola Campus of Valencia Community College $252,000\nP334A990149 East Campus of Valencia Community College $354,400\nP334A990234 West Campus of Valencia Community College $267,200\n $873,600\n2000 Continuation Grants\n\nP334A990094 Osceola Campus of Valencia Community College $252,000\nP334A990149 East Campus of Valencia Community College $354,400\nP334A990234 West Campus of Valencia Community College $267,200\n $873,600\n2000 Grants\n\nP334A000155 Osceola Campus of Valencia Community College $301,961\nP334A000226 West Campus of Valencia Community College $331,190\nP334A000185 West Campus of Valencia Community College $306,163\nP334A000184 West Campus of Valencia Community College $336,505\n $1,275,819\n\n\n\n\nED-OIG A07-B0011 Page 4\n\x0c Audit Results \n\n\nWe found that VCC officials did not administer its GEAR UP projects in accordance with\nlegislative, regulatory, and administrative requirements for non-Federal match. VCC was able to\nprovide documentation of minimal participation by two community partners for each of its seven\nGEAR UP grants. However, VCC did not maintain adequate documentation to support the\nrequired match, claimed facilities and equipment costs were improperly calculated, and matching\nclaims included unallowable, unallocable, and unreasonable room usages.\n\n\n\nFinding No. 1 \xe2\x80\x93 Partnerships Did Not Contribute The Required Non-Federal Cost-\nShare To The Projects\n\n\nContrary to Federal regulations, the partnership did not contribute $1,600,749 of the required\nnon-Federal cost-share (match) for six grant awards. VCC fell short of required match amounts\nbecause VCC only claimed sufficient match to meet the statutory minimum 50 percent of total\nproject costs instead of the higher percentages proposed in its approved grant applications as\nrequired by GEAR UP regulations. Since the GEAR UP partnerships did not provide the proper\nproportion of non-Federal match, we recommend that the Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary\nEducation require VCC to refund $496,932. The refund would achieve the required match\nproportion by converting Federally funded project costs to non-Federal match. We also\nrecommend that VCC comply with the proposed partnership match for each grant, each year.\n\nA partnership must comply with the match percentage stated in its application each year, and the\npercentage may not be less than 50 percent to comply with the regulations in 34 C.F.R. \xc2\xa7 694.7.\n\n What are the matching requirements for a GEAR UP Partnership?\n (a) In general. A Partnership must--\n (1) State in its application the percentage of the cost of the GEAR UP\n project the partnership will provide for each year from non-Federal funds,\n subject to the requirements in paragraph (b) of this section; and\n (2) Comply with the matching percentage stated in its application for each\n year of the project period.\n (b) Matching requirements.\n (1) \xe2\x80\xa6 the non-Federal share of the cost of the GEAR UP project must be\n not less than 50 percent of the total cost over the project period.\n\n\nED-OIG A07-B0011 Page 5\n\x0cEach of the seven original applications, which included detailed budgets of Federal and non-\nFederal matching costs as required for consideration in the grant competition, exceeded the\nrequired 50 percent minimum non-Federal share of total project costs. The proposed match\nranged from 51 to 74 percent, all exceeding the required 50 percent minimum of total project\ncosts. The partnerships proposed to provide a total $4,972,373 for the 10 grant awards audited.\n\nReview of VCC accounting records showed that all awarded Federal dollars were spent or\nencumbered, however the partnerships have significantly under matched six of the grant awards.\n\n Award Federal Required Match Claimed Match Under\n Award Year Award (a) Amount %1 Amount 2 %3 Match 4\n P334A990234 1999 $267,200 $278,886 51.07% $ 414,605 60.81% None\n P334A990094 1999 $252,000 $393,484 60.96% $ 262,073 50.98% $131,411\n P334A990149 1999 $354,400 $367,874 50.93% $ 450,642 55.98% None\n P334A990234 2000 $267,200 $280,505 51.21% $ 506,153 65.45% None\n P334A990094 2000 $252,000 $394,840 61.04% $ 326,350 56.43% $68,490\n P334A990149 2000 $354,400 $369,493 51.04% $ 659,709 65.05% None\n P334A000226 2000 $331,190 $665,309 66.76% $ 332,130 50.07% $333,179\n P334A000184 2000 $336,505 $669,902 66.56% $ 409,003 54.86% $260,899\n P334A000185 2000 $306,163 $873,395 74.04% $ 307,745 50.13% $565,650\n P334A000155 2000 $301,961 $678,685 69.21% $ 437,565 59.17% $241,120\n Totals $3,023,019 $4,972,373 $4,105,975 $1,600,749\n 1.

The amounts required to be converted from Federal to\npartnership funding range from $26,662 to $146,785 for a total $496,932, which should be\nsubtracted from the project costs paid from Federal funds and refunded.\n\n Calculation of Required Match and Refund Amount\n Required\n Award Actual Match Required Claimed To\n Award Year Project Percent Match1 Match Refund2\n P334A990094 1999 $514,073 60.96% $313,379 $262,074 $51,305\n P334A990094 2000 $578,350 61.04% $353,025 $326,363 $26,662\n P334A000226 2000 $663,320 66.76% $442,832 $332,124 $110,708\n P334A000184 2000 $745,508 66.56% $496,210 $408,986 $87,224\n P334A000185 2000 $613,908 74.04% $454,537 $307,752 $146,785\n P334A000155 2000 $739,526 69.21% $511,826 $437,578 $74,248\n Total $496,932\n 1.

Required Match \xe2\x80\x93 Claimed Match (This amount is converted from Federal to Non-\n Federal to comply with proposed match percentage)\n\nRecommendations\nWe recommend that the Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education require that VCC:\n\n1.1 \t refund $496,932, the amount of Federal expenditures required to be converted to match\n in order to conform to the regulation requiring the partnership to comply with the\n application match percentages for the six under-matched grant awards.\n\n1.2 \t comply with the stated percentage in each of its GEAR UP applications each year.\n\nAuditee Comments and OIG Response\nVCC asserted that the partnership did, in fact, meet the required non-Federal cost-share for each\nof the grants because the required cost share was only 50 percent of total project costs. The\n\n\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 7\n\x0cresponse provided nine points to support the partnership\xe2\x80\x99s position. We have summarized each\nof those points below along with our response to those points.\n\n 1. \t The partnerships committed to in-kind matching that exceeded the minimum\n requirement of 50 percent of program costs in the grant proposals for each of the\n grants.\n\n OIG Response. Consistent with the applicable regulations in 34 C.F.R. 694.7, we\n used the proposed match for each of the grants to determine the required match in the\n finding.\n\n 2. \t The 1999 and 2000 GEAR-UP application instructions provided that the partnerships\n could choose how much to match in any award year as long as the non-Federal\n contribution equaled at least 50 percent of the total project costs.\n\n OIG Response. Any applicant does have the choice of varying the match percent in\n its application. This is consistent with the regulation (34 C.F.R. \xc2\xa7 694.7 (a)(1)) that\n requires that the partnership state, each year, the percentage of total project costs to be\n provided from non-Federal funds. However, 34 C.F.R. \xc2\xa7 694. 7 (a) (2) requires the\n partnership to comply with the percentage proposed each year. The requirement to\n provide the percentage match in the year proposed was also included in the\n application instructions: \xe2\x80\x9c. . . the non-Federal matching dollars must be spent during\n the year in which they are listed in the budget . . .\xe2\x80\x9d as stated in the page from the\n application instructions submitted by VCC as Attachment D to the response.\n\n 3. \t None of the award letters states a matching commitment in the space provided for that\n purpose.\n\n OIG Response. The specific non-Federal matching amounts were not printed in\n Block 7 of the Grant Award Notification documents (award letters). However, the\n Terms and Conditions sections of the award letters specifically state that the\n application was incorporated in each grant agreement.\n\n 4. \t The GEAR-UP program officer sent an email to the VCC grants coordinator in\n November 2000, \xe2\x80\x9c. . . directing the college to reduce its matching budgets. . . .\xe2\x80\x9d The\n email informed them that the required match was the amount of Federal funding (a 50\n percent match) and listed the amounts of required match exactly equal to the Federal\n funds for the three grants awarded in 1999 (a 50 percent match) and the amount of the\n direct Federal funds for the four grants awarded in 2000 (a less than 50 percent\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 8\n\x0c match). The revised budgets were requested to resolve issues about matching costs\n duplicated between the grants, the appropriateness of indirect costs charged and to\n bring the matching in line with the 50 percent requirement.\n\n OIG Response. The email discussed in the VCC response resulted from a concern\n over apparent improprieties with the source of proposed matching funds in the\n application budgets for several grants. The grant applications appeared to use the\n same funds to provide the match on more than one grant. For example, the grants\n listed part-time efforts of personnel that added to more than 100 percent when all the\n grants were put together. In addition, there were other concerns that facilities usage\n might be included in the VCC indirect cost rate.\n\n The purpose of the email was not to reduce the budgeted match costs to 50 percent or\n that VCC was directed to reduce the match percentage but to resolve the concerns\n regarding possible duplication of proposed match as stated by VCC.\n\n Regardless, 34 C.F.R. \xc2\xa7 75.900 prohibits any employee of ED from waiving any\n regulation, unless the regulation specifically provides that it may be waived. The\n regulation requiring the partnership to comply with the match as stated in the\n application, 34 C.F.R. \xc2\xa7 694.7 only allows a reduction to 30 percent if certain\n conditions (which the partnerships do not meet) are met. Therefore, the ED Program\n Specialist (EPS) was not allowed to reduce the match below the percentage proposed\n in the grant applications.\n\n 5. \t VCC provided revised budgets to the program officer in December 2000 with reduced\n matching budgets.\n\n OIG Response. The EPS lacked authority to waive the regulation requiring the\n partnership to comply with the match as stated in its application. Even if she could\n have waived the regulation requiring compliance with the application match, the\n budgets submitted in December 2000 were only for the 2000 \xe2\x80\x93 2001 award year. The\n budgets did not cover the 1999 - 2000 award year and grant P334A990094 was under\n matched that award year.\n\n 6. \t The program officer responded that the budgets were \xe2\x80\x9cmuch, much better\xe2\x80\x9d and that\n some questions remained. However, VCC also noted that the purpose of the budgets\n were to resolve the duplicated match issues, and that the match commitment was not\n questioned.\n\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 9\n\x0c OIG Response. As documented in the email message attached to the VCC response,\n the revised budgets were not approved by the EPS. In fact, the last message from the\n EPS stated that there were still some questions remaining to be answered. In our\n opinion, the comments could only be construed to refer to the removal of duplicated\n and unallowable matching costs. The email did not provide, nor was it intended to\n provide, a specific approval for a match reduction.\n\n 7. \t VCC quoted 34 C.F.R. \xc2\xa7 74.25(m) that requires ED to notify the recipient whether\n budget revisions have been approved. The response stated that after 30 days and \xe2\x80\x9c. . .\n having received no disapproval . . .\xe2\x80\x9d VCC implemented the revised matching budgets.\n\n OIG Response. ED actions regarding the budget revisions are irrelevant because,\n pursuant to 34 C.F.R. 75.900, no official, agent, or employee of ED could waive the\n regulation requiring the partnership to comply with the match as stated in its\n application. Even if ED\xe2\x80\x99s actions could be construed as a waiver, the claimed non-\n Federal costs did not match the \xe2\x80\x9crevised matching budgets\xe2\x80\x9d in either content (source\n and type of cost) or total. In fact, the claimed match for three of the grants was less\n than the amount committed to in the December 2000 budgets:\n\n Grant Number 12/2000 Budget Match Claimed Shortfall\n P334A000155 $470,379 $437,565 $ 32,814\n P334A000185 $414,379 $307,745 $106,634\n P334A000226 $341,774 $332,130 $ 9,644\n\n 8. \t VCC stated that it provided budgets with a 50 percent match to program staff for the\n 2001 and 2002 award years and was verbally assured that it was only required to meet\n the 50 percent match. VCC pointed out that the subsequent grant award notifications\n for the 2001 and 2002 award years also did not specify specific match amounts.\n\n OIG Response. The 2001 and 2002 award years are outside our audit period. Our\n audit period covered the 1999 and 2000 award years and as stated above, 34 C.F.R. \xc2\xa7\n 75.900 prohibits any employee of ED from waiving any regulation, unless the\n regulation specifically provides that it may be waived.\n\n 9. \t The partnership actually overmatched all award years by claiming at least as much\n match as the total Federal award.\n\n OIG Response. We disagree. The partnership did not maintain the percentage of\n match contained in the approved applications for six of the grant periods.\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 10\n\x0cVCC also disagreed with the recommendations because they contended that they had received\napproval to reduce the match percentage to the statutory minimum of 50%.\n\nOIG Response. We did not alter our findings or recommendations because:\n\n 1. \t The regulations require the partnerships to comply with the percentage of\n match proposed each budget year,\n\n 2. \t No approval was sought or given to alter the match for the 1999 \xe2\x80\x93 2000 budget\n period,\n\n 3. \t The communications with the EPS neither directed or granted approval to\n reduce the match percentages for the 2000 \xe2\x80\x93 2001 budget periods, regardless of\n whether the EPS had the authority to approve the use of the lower percentage,\n\n 4. \t The claimed match was still less than the unapproved December 2000\n proposed match budgets for three grants, and\n\n 5. \t Even if the EPS had clearly approved the match reduction, the EPS did not\n have the authority to waive the program regulation requiring the partnership to\n comply each year with the match percentage included in the proposal for that\n year.\n\n\n\nFinding No. 2 \xe2\x80\x93 All Non-Federal Costs Claimed Were Improperly Calculated\n\n\nAll $4,105,975 of matching costs claimed by VCC for the GEAR UP grants were unallowable\nbecause all costs were calculated using commercial rental rates instead of the actual depreciation\ncost or use allowance as required by Federal cost principles. VCC used the commercial rental\nrates because it did not meet its responsibility as fiscal agent by maintaining the proper records to\nclaim the use of partners\xe2\x80\x99 facilities and equipment. Therefore, we recommend that the Assistant\nSecretary for Postsecondary Education require VCC to meet the required match by refunding\nanother $1,325,932 of project costs originally paid with Federal funds.\n\nWe analyzed the summary schedules and spreadsheets provided by VCC to support its claimed\nin-kind matching costs for the 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 award years for the seven grants. In\nboth funding cycles, rather than providing proposed match from community partners that\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 11\n\x0cincluded volunteer tutors and mentors, marketing and personnel or facilities, VCC claimed the\nuse of existing VCC and LEA facilities as its total non-Federal in-kind match. The spreadsheets\nshowed the dates, the number of hours and the rooms used at VCC and the LEA for GEAR UP\nactivities. These matching costs were calculated at an hourly rate based on estimated\ncommercial, hourly rental rates ranging from $20 to $150 based on the type of room. VCC also\nclaimed a small amount of LEA owned equipment at estimated commercial rental rates.\n\nThe use of commercial, hourly rates to cost the partners\xe2\x80\x99 facilities and equipment is not an\nallowable method to account for project costs. The cost principles applicable to VCC (Office of\nManagement and Budget (OMB) Circular A-21) and the LEAs (OMB Circular A-87) require\naccounting for the use of grantees\xe2\x80\x99 buildings and equipment using either depreciation or use\nallowance.\n\nOMB Circular A-21, Section J. General provisions for selected items of cost.\n\n 12. Depreciation and use allowances. Institutions may be compensated for the use\n of their buildings, capital improvements, and equipment . . . Such compensation\n shall be made by computing either depreciation or use allowance. . . .\n\nOMB Circular A-87, Attachment B \xe2\x80\x93 Selected Items of Cost\n\n 15. Depreciation and use allowances.\n\n a. \t Depreciation and use allowances are means of allocating the cost of fixed\n assets to periods benefitting from asset use. Compensation for the use of fixed\n assets on hand may be made through depreciation or use allowances. . . .\n\nThe use of commercial, hourly rental rates for partners\xe2\x80\x99 facilities and equipment would result in\nthe claiming of more than allowable project costs because of the provision in such rates for\nprofit, indirect costs in excess of the restricted rate, and other unallowable costs.\n\nBecause all claimed non-Federal match claimed was calculated using unallowable commercial\nrental rates, we have determined that the entire $4,105,975 amount claimed is unallowable.\nAccording to a VCC official, VCC and the LEAs do not have a space usage study to calculate\nfacilities costs for allocation to cost centers. Therefore, we are unable to determine a value for\nthe use of partners\xe2\x80\x99 facilities and equipment. An additional refund of $1,325,932 for Federally\nfunded project costs requiring reprogramming to non-Federal match would be required to fulfill\n34 C.F.R. \xc2\xa7 694.7 (a) (2) requiring the partnership to comply with the match percentages stated\nin the applications for each year.\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 12\n\x0c Unallowable Match and Calculation of Federal Funds to Refund\n Non-Federal Match Total Required\n Aw Finding 1 Project Match Match To Be\n Award Yr.

Required Match \xe2\x80\x93 Finding 1 Refund\n\n\n VCC did not fulfill its responsibility as fiscal agent in maintaining accurate and complete records\n for the seven GEAR UP grants. OMB A-21 Appendix C contains the documentation\n requirements for claiming facility and equipment costs. It states that an institution is required to\n provide several pieces of information including an audited financial statement and supporting\n data, a schedule showing amount by building of use allowance and/or depreciation distributed to\n all functions, and a reconciliation of equipment cost used to compute use allowance and/or\n depreciation. Further, a grantee shall keep records that fully show the amount of funds under the\n grant; how the grantee used the funds; the total cost of the project; the share of that cost provided\n from other sources; and other records to facilitate an effective audit. (34 C.F.R. \xc2\xa775.730)\n\n VCC originally proposed matching costs provided by a number of partners including some\n facilities costs calculated at a commercial rental rate based on square footage. During a site visit\n in 2001, VCC provided an ED official with a single page listing totals for facility and personnel\n costs for each grant, but was unable to provide support for how those costs were calculated.\n When informed that detailed documentation of the match was required, VCC prepared the\n spreadsheets of room and equipment usage only at an hourly rate.\n\n Recommendations\n\n We recommend that the Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education require that VCC:\n\n 2.1 \t refund $1,325,932 of Federal funds required to be converted to match in order to conform\n to the regulation requiring the partnership to comply with the application match\n percentages to cover the unallowable facilities and equipment match claim.\n\n\n ED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 13\n\x0c2.2 \t establish controls to ensure any future claims of partners\xe2\x80\x99 facilities and equipment are\n computed using depreciation or use allowances.\n\nAuditee Comments and OIG Response\nAuditee Comments. VCC disagreed and stated that the facilities costs were properly calculated\nusing fair market value because ED had verified the correctness of their method of calculating\nthe facilities match through approval of the grant and a site visit report and that another set of\ncriteria should apply. The response stated that the use of fair market value was specified in the\ngrant application and budget submissions and approval of the application and other budgets\nimplied that the Secretary had verified that the facilities costs charged at those rates were\nallowable. Additional support for ED approval was provided by a report of a site visit by an ED\nrepresentative who reviewed the match and had notified the college that the review was closed.\nFinally, VCC claimed that OMB Circular A-21, Section J-12 should not apply because of the use\nof the word compensated. Because the space was donated by partners as in-kind match, they\nwere not \xe2\x80\x9ccompensated.\xe2\x80\x9d The response also stated that, even if the section is applicable, it\nshould not be followed because Circular A-21, Section J also states \xe2\x80\x9cIn case of a discrepancy\nbetween the provisions of a specific sponsored agreement and the provisions below, the\nagreement should govern.\xe2\x80\x9d The VCC response infers that the approval of the application and\nsubsequent budgets again should allow VCC\xe2\x80\x99s methodology of valuing the facilities. VCC\nclaimed that the actual cost principals which applied was Circular A-110, Sub-part C, section\n23(h) (3) which provides that the value of donated space shall not exceed the fair-market value of\ncomparable space.\n\nOIG Response. ED did not approve the facilities costs at the rates, which were actually claimed.\nThe facilities costs in the applications included office space that ranged from $5.83 per square\nfoot to $120 per square foot, and classrooms on the VCC West Campus that were quoted at $529\nper month. In the budgets submitted in December 2000, the same classrooms, quoted at $529\nper month, were changed to 960 square feet at $22.26 per square foot (or $1,780) per month.\nHowever, when the summer program was held, the classrooms were claimed at an hourly rate of\n$125 per hour for 9 hours per day totaling $1,125 per day or ($125 * 9 hours * 20 days) $22,500\nper month.\n\nThe site visit report from the Department representative also did not grant approval of the use of\nthe match as claimed. Following the language quoted in the response, the report stated:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa6Although I was as thorough as possible in the review, I do not presume to be\n all-inclusive in the report. Therefore, the absence of statements regarding any\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 14\n\x0c specific practices followed by your institution does not imply approval of those\n practices. In short, the specific nature of this letter does not limit your obligation\n to comply with all statutory and regulatory provisions governing the program\xe2\x80\xa6\n\nCircular A-110, Sub-part C, section 23(h) (1) makes it clear that the section does not apply to the\ndonation of recipient facilities to be used as cost-sharing, but rather for facilities donated to the\nrecipient by a third party.\n\n (1) \tThe value of donated land and buildings shall not exceed its fair market value\n at the time of donation to the recipient\xe2\x80\xa6[emphasis added]\n\nIn addition, the first part of section (5)(ii) quoted in the response also makes the context of third-\nparty donations clear:\n\n (5) \tThe following requirements pertain to the recipient\xe2\x80\x99s supporting records for\n in-kind contributions from third parties. [emphasis added]\n\nThus, the fair-market rates are not applicable to donations by the grant recipients. The cited cost\nprincipal provisions also do not pertain to LEA facilities or equipment because the LEAs are not\nthird parties. Although VCC is the fiscal agent, the GEAR UP grants were awarded to the entire\npartnership for each grant. The HEA (\xc2\xa7404A(c)) states that an eligible entity for a GEAR UP\naward means a State, or a partnership consisting of one or more LEAs acting on behalf of one or\nmore elementary or secondary schools, one or more degree granting institutions of higher\neducation and at least two community organizations or entities. To be declared an eligible entity,\na partnership must have the requisite parts, including at least one LEA. If the LEA was to be\nconsidered a third party and not part of the partnership, there would be no eligible entity, and no\nentitlement to a grant award under GEAR UP.\n\nThe VCC response did not cause us to alter our findings or recommendations. The grant\napplication instructions page provided as Attachment D to the response (underlined) states that \xe2\x80\x9c.\n. . the value assigned to in-kind contributions included in the non-Federal match must be\nreasonable. . . .\xe2\x80\x9d\n\n\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 15\n\x0cFinding No. 3 \xe2\x80\x93 Duplicated, Unallocable, and Unreasonable Room Usage Claims\n\n\nVCC included unallowable, unallocable, and unreasonable room usages on the spreadsheets\ndocumenting the facilities match costs. The spreadsheets contained numerous overstatements\nbecause duplicated costs were claimed (within and between grants), shared use rooms were\ncharged 100 percent to the grant, and claimed hours were in excess of actual hours used. We\nhave not calculated all instances of these overstatements.\n\nDuplicated Costs Were Claimed as Non-Federal, In-Kind Match. Federal regulations state that\ncost sharing or matching must not be included as contributions for any other Federally assisted\nproject or program [34 C.F.R. 74.23 (a) (2)]. We found 48 duplications totaling $71,100 in the\n1999-2000 award year and 44 duplications totaling $50,437.50 in the 2000-2001 award year\nwhere the same room at the same date and time were claimed on two or more of the GEAR UP\ngrants. We also found instances where use of a particular room was claimed twice at the same\ntime for the same grant.\n\nShared Costs Were Claimed as Non-Federal, In-Kind Match. OMB Circular A-21, Part C, 2\nstates that allowable costs must be reasonable, allocable, and given consistent treatment.\nNumerous instances were found where rooms being shared were charged 100 percent to GEAR\nUP grants as in-kind matching cost. The examples include:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t Meetings attended by personnel from more than one GEAR UP grant, or GEAR UP and\n other Federally sponsored programs at the college were charged to one of the GEAR UP\n grants needing additional matching costs instead of being allocated fairly. The shared use\n was emphasized because the cost in one grant was supported by the calendar of meetings\n for the staff working on another GEAR UP grant.\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t The school media center was charged as a dedicated GEAR UP lab (at a $125 hourly rate\n based on a computer equipment training room). The \xe2\x80\x9clab\xe2\x80\x9d was actually a few tables at the\n back used for tutoring during normal school time while the school continued normal usage\n of the library.\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t The regular classrooms, during classroom times were charged to one GEAR UP grant when\n GEAR UP personnel were assigned as classroom aides instead of operating a pull-out\n tutoring program.\n\n\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 16\n\x0cRoom Usage for Unreasonable Hours Were Claimed as Non-Federal, In-Kind Match. Federal\nregulations also require that matching costs be necessary and reasonable [34 C.F.R. 74.23 (a)\n(3)]. The hours of room usage claimed were poorly documented and excessive. For example:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t Rooms in the LEAs were claimed as GEAR UP labs from the beginning of September\n 2000, for the initial years of the grants, even though grant personnel did not move into the\n school until February 2001, and tutoring did not begin until March 2001. A few grants\n charged rooms prior to the grant period beginning on September 15, 2000.\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t GEAR UP labs and offices were claimed for up to 11 hours a day even though tutoring was\n only occurring an hour before school and during the school day.\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 \t A gym was charged to a summer program for 6 hours a day while only being used for an\n hour after lunch.\n\nVCC has centralized controls over accounting for Federal funds; however, the accounting for in-\nkind match is maintained within the individual GEAR UP projects. The spreadsheets\ndocumenting match costs have been changed several times to account for changes in room rates,\nduplications, unsupported costs and other errors, but many errors remain. The documentation\nsupporting the spreadsheet summaries of room usage is minimal and contradictory. We have\nconcluded that the conditions under which the VCC matching records were generated, lack\nsufficient administrative controls to be reliable and are insufficient to detect errors and\nirregularities.\n\nSome of the unallowable facilities usage claims have been acknowledged by VCC officials\nthrough their numerous restatements of facilities usages after we questioned them on specific\ninstances. However, many of the duplicated, unallocable, and unreasonable charges still remain.\nSince all claimed costs have been disallowed because of the use of unallowable commercial\nrental rates, we have not calculated the full scope of the unallowable, unreasonable, and\nunallocable claims.\n\nRecommendation\n\nWe recommend that the Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education require that VCC:\n\n3.1 \t establish and implement policy and procedures to maintain proper record keeping for in-\n kind, non-Federal match according to applicable Federal regulations, including assurance\n that all claimed matching costs are allowable, allocable, and reasonable.\n\n\n\nED-OIG \t A07-B0011 Page 17\n\x0cAuditee Comments and OIG Response\nAuditee Comments. VCC concurred that there were duplicated and shared costs in the matching\ncosts claimed and concurred with the recommendation and has implemented procedures to\nupdate matching records monthly and have asked the internal auditors to review, twice a year,\nmatch claims.\n\nHowever, VCC did not concur that there were unallocable and unreasonable room usage claims\nbecause claiming the use of rooms before the grant period was allowable pre-award costs. The\nrooms were charged when not used because they were dedicated to the use of the grant and\ncomparable space cannot be rented for minutes at a time. The college also did not concur that\ndocumentation supporting spreadsheet summaries of room usage was minimal and contradictory\nbecause they followed the methods of documentation provided by an ED representative and\nmaintained records of the location, size, room number or name, date, hours of use and fair-\nmarket value.\n\nOIG Response. We disagree with VCC\xe2\x80\x99s claim that facilities usage prior to grant award dates\nwas allowable pre-award costs to allow the staff to prepare for the grants. Staff were not hired\nuntil well after that time. In addition, services were not provided in the LEAs until six months\nafter the grant period began. VCC\xe2\x80\x99s comment that space could not be rented for minutes at a\ntime conflicts with their claimed method of valuing space usage in 60-minute increments. Even\nafter interviewing grant personnel and review of supporting documentation, we were not able to\nresolve all questions about specific rooms used or dates.\n\n\n\n\nED-OIG A07-B0011 Page 18\n\x0c Objectives, Scope, and Methodology \n\n\nThe purpose of our audit was to determine whether VCC administered the GEAR UP program in\naccordance with legislative, regulatory, and administrative matching and eligible entity\nrequirements. Specifically, if:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 Each partnership included \xe2\x80\x9cat least two community organizations or entities\xe2\x80\x9d;\n \xe2\x80\xa2 VCC maintained adequate documentation to support the required match; and\n \xe2\x80\xa2 Claimed matching costs were allowable, allocable, and reasonable.\n\nTo accomplish our audit objectives, we reviewed applicable laws and regulations governing the\nenactment of the GEAR UP program. In addition, we conducted interviews with program\nofficials and staff in the GEAR UP office located in Washington, D.C. and obtained and\nanalyzed documentation related to the projects. We reviewed the seven VCC funded grant\napplications, the claimed in-kind facilities partnership match and the documentation supporting\nthose claims at both VCC and the ED.\n\nAn entrance conference was held on June 4, 2001, on the campus of VCC. Fieldwork was\nconducted the weeks of June 4-15, 2001, October 2-5, 2001, and December 11-14, 2001. We\nvisited the ED\xe2\x80\x99s GEAR UP program office located in Washington, DC on April 9, 2002. VCC\ndeclined an exit conference: therefore, we updated our fieldwork on October 18, 2002.\n\nWe focused our review on funding cycles FY 1999 and FY 2000. To perform our work, we\nfocused on seven grants. Three GEAR UP grants were awarded in FY 1999, covering the period\nSeptember 1, 1999, through August 31, 2001. Four GEAR UP grants were awarded in FY 2000,\ncovering the period September 15, 2000, through September 14, 2001.\n\nWe relied on VCC computerized accounting records to determine the Federal funds received and\nspent for each grant award. We tested the accuracy and support for the data by comparing source\nrecords to reported expenditures and project revenue to Federal drawdown records. Based on\nour assessments and tests, we concluded that the data used was sufficiently reliable for the\npurpose of our audit.\n\nOur audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards\nappropriate to the scope of the review described above.\n\n\n\n\nED-OIG A07-B0011 Page 19\n\x0cAuditee Comments and OIG Response\n\nThe response also commented that the scope and purpose of the audit had evolved and changed\nsince it began and commented on the delay in receiving the draft audit report. While one\nobjective was added at the end of the survey phase of the audit, the primary objectives were\nalways to determine whether VCC maintained adequate documentation to support the required\nmatch and whether the claimed matching costs were allowable, allocable, and reasonable. We\nadded the objective to determine whether the seven partnerships were eligible entities at the end\nof the survey due to the significant changes from the grant applications, including changes from\nthe significant match provided by community partners to the claimed match records with no\ncontribution by community partners. We informed VCC of the added objective at the interim\nbriefing we held with them at the end of the survey phase of the audit in October 2001.\n\nThe delay in receiving the draft report was largely the result of numerous restatements by VCC\nof its records, provided to support room usage and rates. Considering the duplicated,\nunreasonable, and unallocable room usage claims, as discussed in Finding No. 3, these\nnumerous restatements required that we compare the restated records for new duplications that\noccurred for each change.\n\nThe VCC response made several comments it asserts are attributable to the OIG audit staff. The\nstatements made in the response inferring bias or misrepresentation by the audit staff are in error\nor have been taken out of context. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Generally\nAccepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS). As such, our work was conducted with\nthe objectivity and independence required under GAGAS. The issues audited and developed\nduring the course of this audit were determined by the data available to the audit staff conducting\nthe assignment and the determination of its reliability. The conclusions drawn by auditors are\nsubject to change as new data is available. These conclusions are discussed with auditees as\nearly as practical. These early discussions are not fully developed, but are discussed to obtain\nauditee input as soon as practical to assure the audit focuses on meaningful issues to both the\nauditee and the Department of Education.\n\n\n\n\nED-OIG A07-B0011 Page 20\n\x0c Statement on Management Controls \n\n\nAs part of our audit, we assessed the system of management controls, policies, procedures, and\npractices applicable to VCC\xe2\x80\x99s administration of the GEAR UP programs. Our assessment was\nperformed to determine the level of control risk for determining the nature, extent, and timing of\nour substantive tests to accomplish the audit objectives.\n\nFor the purpose of this report, we assessed and classified the significant controls into the\nfollowing categories:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 partnership in-kind match claimed\n \xe2\x80\xa2 community partnership participation\n\nBecause of inherent limitations, a study and evaluation made for the limited purposes described\nabove would not necessarily disclose all material weaknesses in the management controls.\nHowever, our assessment disclosed significant management control weaknesses which adversely\naffected VCC\xe2\x80\x99s ability to administer the GEAR UP programs.
