Magnitude of Impact:&nbsp;
The impact of decisions made while performing the processes leading up to, during and after the expunge of students for non-payment directly affect the college’s enrollment numbers and impacts the records, enrollment services, advising, financial aid and academic areas of the college. Students who are dropped often try to address any payment or financial aid issues that caused the expunge and then must see the advising and/or records office to be re-enrolled in their courses. It is critical to develop a clear and effective communication plan, to exercise good judgment while reviewing student accounts and to utilize coordination with other areas in the college to ensure student drops are handled appropriately and the college and students are not negatively impacted. Major problems in the expunge process that cause students to be dropped incorrectly or not dropped would require a plan to address from the Assistant Vice President, Vice President and possibly President level. Effects could be long term as it could lead to a lower student enrollment or an increase in receivables.
The billing and collection process is critical to keeping college receivables down and complying with TBR policies. Failure to properly invoice students and non-students could result in an increase in receivables, a decrease in revenue and possible audit findings for the college. Billing issues would be addressed by the Director of Fiscal Operations. Any audit findings would also involve the Vice President &amp; Assistant Vice President of Administrative Affairs and the President. Effects could be long term in relation to receivables.
Properly handling cash, credit cards and other payments ensure the collection of funds owed to the college and keeps the college in compliance with state, banking and payment card industry regulations. Failure to maintain proper checks and balances, cash handling and reconciling procedures, and credit card security could lead to loss of cash leading to receivables, audit findings, fines and negative publicity. Effects from problems could vary depending on the nature and magnitude of the failure and could be long term and involve addressing by the Assistant Vice President of Administrative Affairs, Vice President of Administrative Affairs and President.
Responsibility for Accuracy:
Typical errors could include errors in the data entry of cash deposits/payments to the college or an electronic payment to the bank that is not recorded.

Financial Impact: 
Inadequate monitoring and reconciling of cash, cash handling procedures and other cashier processes can result in the loss or theft of cash and audit findings.
This position must maintain procedures to process funds and collect receivables per state law and TBR policy or audit findings and a potential loss of collectable funds will result.
This position must monitor changes in the banking industry to ensure the college is compliant with current laws and regulations to avoid large fines, loss of charge-backs and other penalties.
Proper evaluation of student appeal request can correct registration errors or help a student who has had a critical, unexpected crisis in their life.&nbsp; Proper and timely response creates goodwill with students and their families/friends.
