Finding 2025-001: Rural Rental Housing Loans Assistance Listing Number: 10.415 U.S. Department of Agriculture (Repeat of Finding 2024-001) Compliance Requirement: Eligibility, Program Income Type of finding: Internal Control Over Compliance (significant deficiency) Recommendation: The Organization should strengthen its internal controls with adopted policies and procedures to ensure a review process is established through adequate segregation of duties. The Organization should consider assessing and realigning the duties and responsibilities of the Executive Director, Administrative Assistant, and Alamosa Property Manager to provide for a review process of tenant eligibility determinations and the monthly housing assistance payment requests for the Sierra Vista Alamosa Housing Complex. Action Taken: This finding was from the actions of the pervious on-site manager, concerning the Alamosa Complex only. Sierra Vista/Alamosa Complex has already implemented the internal control concerning compliance in house. Priscilla and Alonzo will make sure that all internal compliance issues are segregated and check by at least 2 persons in the office, and if needed, the Executive Director can request viewing of internal control procedures as well. Alonzo and Priscilla prepare and review along with signatures of the review and approval dates of internal affairs. "This institution is an equal opportunity provider." If there are questions regarding this plan, please call the responsible party at (719)852-5505. Sincerely yours, Corinna Garcia Executive Director Monte Vista Community Center Housing Authority, Inc.

Condition: The tenant security deposit cash account was insufficient to cover the tenant security deposit liability. - Response: The reserve for replacement has ample funds to request reimbursements of qualified expenditures and Management plans to make a sizable request for funds in April 2026. If approved, management can fund the deficiency in the security deposits. Management is also going to request a Budget Based Rent increase in May 2026 for the property due to the extraordinary escalation of operating costs of the last three years. Management believes that with these steps it will be able to return to its previous cash flow position.

2025-003 PREVAILING WAGE U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ALN 14.251 – Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants Contract No. B-22-CP-KY-0347 (2022) and B-23-CP-KY-0612 (2023) Criteria and Condition: During our audit procedures, we noted the Authority did not notify contractors that Federal funds would be in payments. As such, contractors did not include federal prevailing wage language in their bids/contracts, and did not provide weekly certified payroll reports to the Authority. Cause: Management was unaware of the requirements of prevailing wage for federal construction grants, and as such, did not communicate to contractors that federal funds would be utilized. Effect: The Authority was not in compliance with the grant requirements in the OMB Compliance Supplement over prevailing wage requirements for laborers and mechanics. Questioned Costs: Unable to determine. Recommendation: We recommend management obtain a greater understanding of the Compliance Supplement requirements over HUD grants, and implement a review process whereby contracts and invoices are not approved without appropriate prevailing wage consideration and certified payrolls. Action Taken: The Authority will gain a greater understanding of HUD grants, and will implement a review process to ensure prevailing wage requirements are considered prior to approving contracts and invoices. Individual(s) responsible for implementing: Maureen Carpenter, CEO Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2026

Special Tests – Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance (Utility Allocation – Section 811 Program) Management Response Management acknowledges that utility allocation errors occurred in a limited number of instances due to a miscalculation in the allocation spreadsheet. Specifically, utility expenses were allocated among four tenants instead of five occupied tenants, resulting in an overallocation of utility costs to certain residents. The error was due to an input/calculation issue within the allocation spreadsheet and not a deficiency in the underlying allocation methodology. The organization’s documented utility allocation policy requires that total utility costs be allocated equally among occupied tenants, which is consistent with HUD requirements. Management has evaluated the exceptions identified and determined that the issue was isolated to specific instances of spreadsheet error rather than a systemic failure of the allocation methodology. Corrective Actions Implemented / To Be Implemented • The utility allocation spreadsheet will be corrected to ensure that the total number of occupied tenants is accurately reflected in the allocation calculation. • A two-level review control will be implemented over utility allocations. The Leasing Assistant/Clerk will prepare the allocation, and the Leasing Manager will independently verify accuracy prior to finalization. • Verification will include tenant count validation to the rent roll or occupancy report, recalculation of the per-tenant allocation, and confirmation that total allocations agree to the original utility invoice. • Allocation schedules will be supported by rent roll or occupancy documentation. • A standardized checklist will be implemented for monthly allocation procedures. • Any identified allocation errors will be promptly corrected to ensure tenants are not overcharged. Training Training on utility allocation procedures will be conducted by May 1, 2026, for leasing staff and management, with annual refresher training. Responsible Staff: Leasing Assistant/Clerk – Preparation Leasing Manager – Review and verification Controller – Oversight Chief Executive Officer (CEO) – Final accountability Implementation Date: Corrective actions are being implemented immediately upon identification of the finding. Ongoing monitoring will occur monthly.

Special Tests and Provisions – Material Weakness in Internal Controls over Compliance (Replacement Reserve Disbursement – HUD Approval Requirement) Management Response Management acknowledges that a disbursement of $15,000 was made from the replacement reserve account without obtaining prior written approval from HUD, as required under the Capital Advance Regulatory Agreement. Management recognizes that appropriate controls were not in place to prevent disbursement of restricted reserve funds without required approval, resulting in noncompliance. Management has initiated communication with HUD to disclose the transaction and request guidance on the appropriate resolution. The organization will comply with all directives issued by HUD and will continue to follow up as necessary to ensure timely resolution. Corrective Actions Implemented / To Be Implemented • A formal control will be implemented requiring documented written HUD approval prior to any disbursement from the replacement reserve account. • All reserve disbursements will require documented HUD approval prior to processing and will be subject to Controller review to ensure compliance with HUD requirements. • Replacement reserve accounts will be formally designated as restricted funds within internal financial procedures. • A formal policy governing replacement reserve disbursements will be established. • Alternative funding sources will be used when HUD approval is not available. • Training will be provided to relevant staff on HUD requirements and reserve controls.Training Training on reserve account procedures will be conducted by May 1, 2026, with refresher training annually. Responsible Staff: Controller – Oversight of compliance Chief Executive Officer (CEO) – Final accountability Implementation Date: Corrective actions related to implementation of review controls will be implemented immediately. Resolution will follow HUD guidance.

Finding Reference Number: 2025-001 – Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance and Non-Material Non-Compliance Finding: One instance where a unit failed its inspection and re-inspection was not performed or scheduled within the required timeframe. The Organization also failed to abate the housing assist payments (HAP) or terminate the HAP contract for this unit in a timely manner. Additionally, for this unit the inspection was not performed on the required biennial basis. Planned Corrective Action: The housing team utilizes Yardi to manage the housing program. The team has been using the software to schedule inspections. Through their internal review, the team confirmed Yardi's reporting capabilities within the system were not being fully utilized to monitor overdue reinspections or trigger abatement actions. This gap contributed to the oversight cited in the audit finding. A retraining on Yardi is being scheduled for April 2026 to ensure the full reporting capabilities within the system will be utilized to ensure proper monitoring of overdue inspections. In addition, there are adequate policies and procedures in place to ensure inspection and reinspection of units, but we will revise current policy to strengthen this area. Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing with a completion date of April 30, 2026.

FINDINGS—FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS 2025-001 Compliance over Eligibility Requirements to Perform Annual Recertification - Assistance Listing No. 14.181. Program –Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities Significant Deficiency Recommendation: Bay Bridge should develop an operating plan in order to ensure that recertifications are performed timely each year, despite of staff shortages. Action Taken: We hired a new Property Manager for Bay Bridge Apartments, who has worked diligently to complete outstanding recertifications and this property is back on track. All recertifications are now current with one exception due to a lack of tenant cooperation which is being properly managed with legal action. To ensure that staff changes and vacancies do not result in late recertifications in the future, we have employed Property Operations Specialists (roving personnel) to provide coverage if there is staff turnover. We have also increased oversight by the Regional Manager to ensure roving staff remain on track and that recertifications are completed timely. Additionally, senior leadership at the John Stewart Company has implemented enhanced tracking of recertifications across the full portfolio and conducts monthly progress meetings with the management team to monitor compliance, identify risks early, and ensure accountability. We are confident that these corrective actions will result in sustained improvement and ongoing compliance.

Finding 2025-002 U.S. Department of Education (USDE), Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs – Federal Work-Study Program (material weakness): Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan Tougaloo College acknowledges the findings identified in the audit regarding the Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program for the period ending June 30, 2025. We recognize the gravity of the "material weakness" designation and the systemic nature of the documentation exceptions noted. As the Vice President overseeing these services, I am committed to a rigorous overhaul of our FWS administrative protocols to ensure full compliance with 34 CFR 675.16. To address the root causes of these findings, the College is implementing the following measures immediately: • Mandatory Supervisor Training: All department heads and direct supervisors of FWS students must complete a mandatory compliance seminar. This training emphasizes that no student may be scheduled to work during designated class times and that no wages will be disbursed without a verified, contemporaneous timesheet. • Enhanced Timesheet Verification: We are transitioning to a standardized digital submission process. This system will require: o Verification of the student’s course schedule against hours worked to prevent overlap. o Electronic signatures from both the student and supervisor, timestamped to ensure they are captured prior to payroll processing. • Documentation and Record Retention: The Office of Financial Aid, in coordination with Payroll, will implement a "No Document, No Pay" policy. Documentation for any pay rate changes must now be uploaded and approved by the VP for Enrollment Management and Student Services before being reflected in the Jenzabar system. • Internal Monthly Audits: Starting next month, our internal compliance team will conduct random monthly spot-checks of FWS files (10% of active participants) to ensure all timesheets are present, complete, and accurately reflect hours worked. The College is currently reviewing the identified questioned costs of $10,830.00. We will work closely with the U.S. Department of Education to determine the appropriate restitution or adjustment required for any overpayments resulting from missing documentation. We are dedicated to rectifying these systemic issues and ensuring this does not remain a repeat finding in future audit cycles. Our goal is to maintain the highest level of integrity in our Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs.

Management agrees with this finding. Upon identification of the issue, we initiated immediate corrective actions to reinforce our internal control environment and ensure full compliance with our cash disbursement approval policy. We have completed re-training for all accounting staff to reaffirm the requirements of our payment approval policy and to emphasize the importance of verifying documented approval prior to processing any invoice, regardless of the payment method (check, automated withdrawals, or portals). Additionally, management has implemented a system upgrade, transitioning from a manual approval workflow to an automated approval process. This upgraded system is designed to require approval before an invoice can proceed to payment, thereby preventing invoices from being disbursed without documented written authorization. We expect this automated control to significantly reduce the risk of future exceptions and strengthen overall compliance. Management will continue to monitor disbursement activity to ensure ongoing adherence to policy and the effectiveness of the new control measures. The anticipated completion date for this corrective action is 11/1/2025.

The finding from the September 30, 2025 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. The City of Pensacola Housing Department’s direct action in response to the finding is to meet with the Housing Placement Specialists to discuss the finding, review Pensacola Housing’s Administrative Plan and 24 CFR 982.516, clarify the proper procedures for accepting self-declared income, and monitoring for ongoing compliance. Program Manager Nicole Louie will randomly select files from each Housing Placement Specialist’s caseload to complete a quality control review over the next 60 days to ensure proper income-verification procedures are followed. In addition, SEMAP (Section 8 Management Assessment Program) quality control is conducted quarterly by the Housing Office Coordinator as part of the self-scoring assessment submitted to HUD. Any non-compliance identified during the SEMAP quarterly review will be brought to the attention of the Section 8 Program Manager and the Housing Placement Specialist. Name of Contact Person for Completing Corrective Action Plan: Nicole Louie, Program Manager 850-858-0316 nlouie@cityofpensacola.com Expected date of completion is April 30, 2026 FINDING 2025-001 During the review of 40 tenant files, there were three instances a tenant file did not document why third-party income verification was not utilized. After review, the Housing Placement Specialists calculated the income correctly, and there was no resulting over subsidy.
