U.S. Department of Agriculture Passed Through the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction and the Minnesota Department of Human Services Federal Financial Assistance Listing # 10.568 All Awards Federal Financial Assistance Listing # 10.569 All Awards Food Distribution Cluster Finding Summary: As part of the audit done by Eide Bailly LLP, a lack of internal controls were identified in eligibility determinations and reviews for The Emergency Food Assistance Programs. Responsible Individuals: Kate Molbert, COO David Stachon, CFO Corrective Action Plan: The GPFB will ensure all documents for TEFAP programs have proper signatures by necessary parties going forward. An electronic signature process has been implemented to make the dissemination, review and storage of this process easier. Also, additional staffing has been hired to manage this process in the form of a Programs and Operations Compliance Manager with substantial compliance experience. Anticipated Completion Date: Immediate

Condition & Criteria: For three aviation program students, cost of attendance calculations were based on expected high-cost courses, but actual enrollment differed, resulting in overstated costs and excess aid disbursement. Auditor’s Recommendation: Adjust cost of attendance based on actual courses attended and fees incurred. Corrective Action: The Financial Aid Department now verifies actual course enrollment prior to disbursement for specialized programs, ensuring accuracy and compliance. Beginning Winter term 2026, mid-term audits for the aviation program have been implemented to strengthen oversight. Additionally, policy updates now require real-time cost of attendance adjustments for all individualized programs to maintain consistency and alignment with federal regulations. Responsible Person: Director of Financial Aid, with support from Aviation Program Director. Anticipated Completion Date: Begin implementation immediately and accomplish full implementation by Spring 2026; ongoing monitoring.

The District will implement additional internal controls to ensure that all household income is properly included in the eligibility determination process for free and reduced-price meals. The Food Service Director (or authorized designee) will perform a second-level review of all applications prior to final approval, focusing on verification that all sources of income - including income earned by students - are included in the total household calculation. The District will update its internal checklist and train staff responsible for reviewing meal applications to verify that each application is complete, income sources are clearly identified, and supporting documentation (if applicable) has been properly considered. The Food Service Director will conduct a mid-year self-audit of eligibility determinations to confirm accuracy and compliance with 7 CFR 245.6 requirements. The District will maintain documentation of reviews and training to support compliance efforts in furter audits.

Corrective Action Plan December 18, 2025 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Office of Charter Schools and School Redesign 135 Santilli Highway Everett, MA 02149 Lawrence Family Development Charter School respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025: AAF CPAS 50 Washington Street Westborough, MA 01581 Audit period: July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 (Fiscal Year 2025) The findings from the December 22nd schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS - FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT FINDINGS SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2025-01 Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement Board (MTRB) Remittances Regulations outlined in DESE's Charter School Audit Guide require Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement System (MTRS) payroll withholdings to be remitted to the MTRB within ten days of the following month. During our compliance testing, we noted nine instances, out of twelve months tested, for which the MTRS payroll withholdings were not remitted to the MTRB within ten days of the following month. Recommendation: In order to comply with Commonwealth of Massachusetts' MTRB regulations and charter school compliance requirements established by DESE, management should ensure that controls are in place to ensure all MTRS payroll withholdings are remitted timely. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation, and LFDCS has implemented a policy requiring all MTRS payments to be completed within the first ten calendar days of each month. Effective Date: December 1, 2025 SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2025-02 Payroll Records The Federal government requires Form I-9's be maintained for all eligible employees. Out of the twenty-five selections tested, we noted one 1-9 form which was not properly completed by the School. We also noted four additional selections where the 1-9 form was unable to be located. We also noted there was no supporting documentation maintained for two W-4 forms. The School experienced turnover in the accounting and finance department during fiscal year 2025. Review of required document was not performed on a timely basis. Because of the failure to maintain required forms, ineligible employees may be added to payroll. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented requiring the completion of required forms and the formal review and approval should be performed prior to adding employees to payroll. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation, and LFDCS has implemented procedures to review personnel files for completeness and accuracy before new employees begin working at the school. Effective Date: December 1, 2025 2025-03 General Ledger Maintenance During fiscal year 2025, several general ledger accounts were not properly reconciled to their respective subsidiary ledgers, journals, or supporting schedules. In certain instances, reconciliations were prepared; however, variances were not clearly identified, investigated, or resolved. In other cases, reconciliations were performed in an untimely manner. The accounts affected included revenue and the related Federal expenditures, cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and due from Lawrence Prospera (the Fund). Unreconciled variances were also noted in various expense and accrued expense balances. Recommendation: Management should implement policies and procedures to ensure that all general ledger accounts are reconciled to the respective subsidiary ledgers, journals, or supporting schedules on a timely basis. Any variances identified during the reconciliation process should be promptly investigated and resolved to maintain the accuracy and reliability of the financial statements and ensure compliance with Federal grant reporting requirements. Implementing these procedures will strengthen internal controls, help prevent potential misstatements in the financial statements, and facilitate a smoother and more efficient audit process. Action In-Process: We concur with the auditor's recommendation. The LFDCS is in the process of implementing an accounting system while also developing accounting policies that set comprehensive standards and procedures to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the General Ledger (GL). The completed policy will include internal controls to safeguard financial data, prevent errors, and reduce the risk of fraud. It will also require segregation of duties by defining distinct roles for authorization, data entry, and review so that no individual is responsible for both recording transactions and reconciling accounts. These measures will provide accurate verification of assets and liabilities through monthly balance sheet account reconciliations and will enable timely and reliable financial reporting and budget-to-actual variation analysis. Anticipated Effective Date: March 1, 2026 2025-04 Bank Reconciliations During the fiscal year 2025 audit, we noted that the School's operating bank account reconciliations had not been prepared for several months after month end and did not agree to the reconciled bank balance. As a result, a large year-end adjustment was required before the audit to record previously unrecorded transactions in the general ledger. When bank reconciliations are not performed consistently and in a timely manner, there is an increased risk of unauthorized transactions or bank errors going undetected. Management should prepare bank reconciliations immediately upon receipt of the monthly bank statement, further, any outstanding checks which have not cleared within a reasonable time should be investigated upon completion of the monthly reconciliation. Recommendation: There is a lack of segregation of duties as it relates to the bank reconciliation process. The same employee who prepares the bank reconciliations also records the related journal entries in the general ledger. In addition, we did not observe evidence of management review or approval of the bank reconciliations prior to recording activity in the accounting records. This lack of segregation of duties increases the risk of errors or potentially resulting in misstatements of cash balances or unauthorized transactions. Action In-Process: We concur with the auditor's recommendation. Once the accounting system implementation is complete, LFDCS will adopt a reconciliation policy that ensures all cash transactions are properly recorded, complete, and any differences are resolved within ten days of the bank statement closing date. High-volume accounts will be reconciled weekly or more frequently as needed. To maintain sufficient segregation of duties, the Finance Team will prepare the reconciliations while the Director of Finance or another designated approver review and approve them. Under no circumstances will the same person prepare and approve the reconciliation. Additionally, the School will set up an integration between its bank and QuickBooks Online so that bank-cleared transactions are automatically downloaded, reducing manual data entry and increasing the efficiency and accuracy of the reconciliation process. Any discrepancies identified during the process will be investigated and corrected within ten days of month-end, and all reconciliations will be securely saved and readily available. Anticipated Effective Date: March 1, 2026 MATERIAL INSTANCE OF NONCOMPLIANCE 2025-05 Certified Procurement Officer Regulations outlined in the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's (DESE) Charter School Audit Guide require a charter school administrator who serves as procurement officer to have a valid Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Official (MCPPO) designation. During fiscal year 2025, we noted that the School does not have any administrator who has MCPPO designation. Recommendation: In order to comply with DESE's procurement requirements, management should ensure that proper controls are in place and operating effectively to ensure that a designated individual has enrolled and receives a valid MCPPO designation. Management should also develop a checklist that tracks expiration date for MCPPO eligible employees to ensure timely renewal. Action In-Process: We concur with the auditor's recommendation. LFDCS acknowledges the requirement outlined in the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's (DESE) Charter School Audit Guide that a charter school administrator serving as the procurement officer must hold a valid Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Official (MCPPO) designation. To comply with this requirement, the directors of facilities and finance in addition to the grant accountant will enroll in the MCPPO certification program offered by the Massachusetts Office of the Inspector General and ensure they complete the training if not certification process. LFDCS will also implement internal controls to track MCPPO certification status and expiration dates to ensure compliance and timely renewal. The Finance Director completed the initial course, Public Contracting Overview, on December 17th, 2025. Anticipated Effective Date: May 1, 2026 If the Department of Education and Secondary Education has questions regarding LFDCS's plans, please call Mark Ventre, Director of Finance, at 978.216.0461, extension 185.

2025-001 Federal Work Study - Student Financial Aid Cluster Assistance Listing Number 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268, Grant Period - Year Ended June 30, 2025 Condition Found During our Federal Work Study testing, we selected twenty-five students and noted that one student was paid for hours they did not work and was overpaid $420. The College did not review federal work study hours worked against class hours scheduled and timesheets to ensure the student was not working during a scheduled class and that they were paid for the correct number of hours. We consider this condition to be an instance of non-compliance to the Eligibility compliance requirement. Corrective Action Plan The Financial Aid Department is collaborating with Career Services to implement improved oversight and training for Federal Work-Study. This includes required online training for both student employees and their supervisors, which must be completed prior to hiring any student employees within a department. Additionally, a campus-wide Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been developed, along with a Quick Guide for Supervisors of Student Employees, to ensure consistent processes and expectations related to scheduling, timesheet review, and compliance.

2025-001: Missing Exit Counseling Documentation Student Financial Aid Cluster Assistance Listing Number 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268, 84.379 Grant Period – Year Ended June 30, 2025 Condition Found Condition/Context: During our student file testing, we noted two students out of forty did not have documentation in their file that exit counseling was sent thirty days after the student withdrew.

2025-001 Significant Deficiency: Awards in Excess of Aggregate Limits (U.S. Department of Education, William D. Ford Direct Loan Program, ALN #84.268) The University awarded and disbursed Federal Direct Loans beyond aggregate limits. Management Response Management concurs with the auditors’ finding. Due to delays and changes in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) post-screening process for the 2024–25 award year, Federal Direct Loans were inadvertently awarded and disbursed to students who had previously exceeded Federal Direct Loan aggregate limits. Responsible Person(s) Alex Campbell, Director of Financial Aid, and Kaitrin Parrett, Assistant Director of Financial Aid, are designated as the individuals responsible for implementing the corrective action. Corrective Action Plan Upon identifying deficiencies in loan aggregate reporting and over-award status, the Financial Aid Office initiated communication with the identified students to inform them of their overaward status and the process for resolving inadvertent overborrowing. In collaboration with software engineers, the Financial Aid Office is developing updated reporting to ensure proper identification of students who are ineligible due to meeting or exceeding aggregate limits set by the U.S. Department of Education. The Financial Aid Office tested and reviewed NSLDS post-screen data and student loan aggregates prior to the disbursement of Fall 2025 Federal Direct Loans to ensure students were not awarded or disbursed aid for which they were ineligible. Reviews of NSLDS post-screen data confirm that the Student Information System (SIS) accurately identifies student aggregate borrowing flags. The Financial Aid Office is also monitoring designated mailboxes to ensure any additional NSLDS post-screen data is reviewed and aggregate limits on student accounts are updated accordingly. All financial aid staff involved in awarding federal loans completed additional training on NSLDS review requirements, aggregate limit monitoring, and reaffirmation procedures prior to Fall 2025 disbursements. Training will continue on a quarterly basis to ensure proper procedures are followed by Financial Aid staff. Compliance reviews will be conducted on a semester basis to ensure that Title IV aid is not awarded to students in excess of their annual or aggregate limits. The Director and Assistant Director of Financial Aid will review aggregate limit reports monthly as part of the University’s internal operational calendar. Expected Completion Date This corrective action plan was implemented in September 2025, prior to Fall 2025 aid disbursements, which began on September 12, 2025.

Incorrect Resolution of ISIR Aggregate Limits Flag Planned Corrective Action: All financial aid staff received a copy of the FAFSA Specifications Guide, Volume 7 – Comment Codes applicable to the current academic year, and are required to reference this guide for each student file they review to ensure that all comment codes requiring resolution are properly addressed. Additionally, the Assistant Director of Financial Aid distributes daily ISIR import reports to all financial aid staff. Any ISIRs requiring resolution are identified within these reports as well as within the corresponding student files in our system. To address the system limitations identified, the University has acquired a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) financial aid management system.

Incorrect Enrollment Reporting to National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Planned Corrective Action: WBU has entered into an agreement with Ellucian to implement Ellucian Student powered by Colleague as the new student information system. WBU will start utilizing this new student information system in April 2026. WBU will utilize the built-in functionality and tools to report to NSLDS at that time which should correct this issue completely. We will continue to work towards compliance with NSLDS reporting requirements through the following action plan: An internal SSRS report for official and unofficial withdrawals which accurately reflects withdrawn students remains available to the WBU offices of Financial Aid and the Registrar for verification as part of the planned corrective action. The custom NSC reporting tool(s) will continue to be updated to make sure the correct combination of fields and corresponding data sources are reported as accurately as possible. WBU will continue to work with NSC to mitigate issues related to data not transferring correctly between NSC and NSLDS. • A field-by-field analysis plus any needed corrections to the queries will be performed. o By default, term "W" withdrawals are reconsidered by the updated tool each time a report is generated for NSC. o Some date fields have been corrected that were previously misunderstood by the custom tool's historical authors. o Post-submission error corrections by registrar staff via NSC's website are spot-checked by Information Technology when requested. o If certain data issues cannot be resolved satisfactorily via NSC alone, then corrective measures via NSLDS directly may be considered. o The PowerCampus 9.1.2 baseline product's NSC reporting tool was determined to be insufficient for timely and accurate reporting to NSC with WBU's current data on several counts. WBU has upgraded the PowerCampus system to version 9.2.3 and will continue to work towards a solution for the baseline reporting tool with the upgraded system.  Some of the recurring data updates needed before running the PC baseline tool, are still being run periodically as a source data benefit for the custom tool.

Management's Response: We concur. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan Response: The two students identified were underpaid due to locks on their financial aid units for either late-start courses or being on an approved SAP appeal plan. Once locks were removed, PowerFAIDS should have recalculated their aid to reflect their current units, however that did not happen. As a result, the Pell Grant was under-awarded. The students have now been disbursed with their full Pell eligibility. Corrective Action Plan: The transition from a legacy SIS and PowerFAIDS to a single ERP will consolidate financial aid and enrollment data into a single system, eliminating reliance on manual adjustments and reducing the risk of data discrepancies between two systems. Banner allows for automated and real-time recalculations for enrollment changes such as late start courses, reducing the risk of Pell under or over-awarding. Financial aid staff will receive updated training and guidance on the importance of verifying Pell recalculations when manual locks on student financial aid records are needed, for instance in the case of a student on an approved SAP appeal plan.

Section III Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Health Center Program (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Public Housing Primary Care),) Grants for New and Expanded Services Under the Health Center Program, COVID-19 Grants for New and Expanded Services Under the Health Center Program Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 93.224 and 93.527 Item 2025 002 – Special Tests Recommendation The Center should establish a system of internal controls to ensure that all slide fee discounts are properly calculated based on family size and income. Repeat Finding Yes Action Taken The Finance Department will take the following steps to enhance the slide fee discounts process: 1. Policy Revision: the health center will revise its Sliding Fee Discount Policy to ensure alignment with HRSA requirements, including accurate discount calculation methodologies, annual updates to the sliding fee scale, and proper utilization of NextGen system functionality to support implementation 2. Staff Training: the health center will provide comprehensive training to all relevant staff on the revised Sliding Fee Discount Policy and procedures. 3. Training will emphasize correct discount calculations, required documentation, and income verification processes.
