The College acknowledges the finding and agrees that reporting to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system must be accurate, complete, and submitted within required timeframes. The condition resulted from the absence of formal procedures and controls to validate key data elements and monitor reporting timeliness. The College is in the process of implementing enhanced controls over COD reporting. The Office of Financial Aid will develop and formalize written procedures governing the reconciliation of awarding and disbursement activity with COD reporting, including defined responsibilities, documentation standards, and review requirements. The College will also engage third-party consultants to review current processes and assist with system enhancements. System configuration and process improvements will be implemented to support the automation of award and disbursement reporting through PeopleSoft. The Office of Financial Aid will implement quality control measures, including systematic validations and documented supervisory review, to ensure accuracy, consistency, and compliance in COD reporting. Implementation of these procedures began in April 2026 and was not in place for the full fiscal year. Fiscal year 2026 represents a transition period during which controls are being implemented and refined. Full implementation is expected for the 2026–2027 award year. These actions are intended to ensure that COD reporting is accurate, timely, and properly controlled, and to prevent recurrence.

The College acknowledges the finding and agrees that Cost of Attendance and Satisfactory Academic Progress determinations must be calculated, documented, and reviewed in accordance with federal requirements. The condition resulted from reliance on manual processes, lack of retained supporting documentation, and absence of independent review and approval. The College is in the process of implementing enhanced controls over COA and SAP determinations. Formal policies and procedures will be established to define methodologies, documentation requirements, and responsibilities for preparation and review. The College will work with Information Technology and third-party consultants to enhance system configuration and develop automated processes to support calculation and retention of COA and SAP determinations within a controlled environment. In addition, the College will implement quality control measures, including a COA review committee, systematic validations and documented supervisory review, and will retain sufficient supporting documentation to allow for independent recalculation and verification of eligibility determinations. Implementation of these procedures began in April 2026 and was not in place for the full fiscal year. Fiscal year 2026 represents a transition period during which controls are being implemented and refined. Full implementation is expected for the 2026–2027 award year. These actions are intended to ensure that eligibility determinations are accurate, properly supported, and compliant with federal requirements, and to prevent recurrence.

The College acknowledges the finding and agrees that formal cash management controls are required to ensure that Title IV funds are drawn only for immediate cash needs and are properly supported and documented. The condition resulted from the absence of documented procedures and inconsistent execution of draw preparation, review, approval, and reconciliation processes. The College is in the process of implementing enhanced controls over cash management. Formal written procedures are being established to govern draw calculations, timing, approvals, supporting documentation, reconciliation requirements, and identification and return of excess cash. A standardized draw file will be maintained for each draw, including supporting student-level disbursement detail, reconciliation to eligible expenditures, and documented supervisory approval. The College will also perform and document monthly reconciliations between student disbursement records and federal cash activity. Cash balances will be monitored to ensure funds are drawn only for immediate needs and that excess cash is identified and returned, as necessary. Implementation of these procedures began in April 2026 and was not in place for the full fiscal year. Fiscal year 2026 represents a transition period during which controls are being implemented and refined. Full implementation is expected for the 2026–2027 award year. These actions are intended to ensure that draw amounts are accurate, properly supported, and compliant with federal requirements, and to prevent recurrence.

View of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and recommendation. Corrective Action Plan: East-West Center will designate the International Programs Specialist (coordinator of the Graduate Degree Fellowships) to prepare the list of selected students to be offered scholarships demonstrating clearly that the selections meet the ratio requirement. The Dean of the Education Program will be required to sign off on the list, checking to ensure that the ratio of students meets our designated mandate. If students decline our initial offer, each alternate also will be vetted by the Dean to ensure the balance is maintained. If there is funding uncertainty up until the date required to send invitations, and a different funding source is used as an alternative or backstop, the program will bring these students on a J-visa so that they are able to shift to Federal funds at a later date to ensure that the ratio is maintained. 27 Contact Person: Director and Dean of Professional Development and Education Programs Anticipated Completion Date: May 2026 28

Description of Finding: Criteria or Specific Requirement: The lead agencies, who are subrecipients under the Federal Awards, are required to have clients sign the Form 502045-A CSFP Sub-Agency Monthly Participant Sign-in Sheet to self-declare program eligibility before food is disbursed. Issue and Cause: There were two instances out of 40 distributions tested where this signoff was not completed. Due to the hectic environment at the lead agencies during food distribution day, oversights have occurred when obtaining the required client signoff. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: PARF management has reviewed the 2025-001 finding and concurs with the recommendations as stated. Corrective Action: PARF has an extensive training process in place for lead agencies, in relation to grant award compliance requirements, which includes the provision of training manuals and monthly phone calls to review matters. In addition, PARF provides updates to the lead agencies as new or amended requirements are enacted. Further, PARF does periodic reviews of the lead agencies and completes the biennial review Form 502035 CSFP Management Evaluation. PARF will continue to reiterate the required signoff process with the lead agencies during phone calls, training session and reviews. In addition for FY 2026 PARF will be conducting a mandatory webinar to ensure all the lead agencies are understanding the procedure and why it is important for 100 percent accuracies -https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1YZgcq7SY4DmvhYrKZE8sp-NDhpuzn827PZDZ0xAKDw/edit?usp=sharing

The Community Services Department (CSD) acknowledges the untimely submission of the October 2024 report. As indicated in the finding letter, this matter was an isolated event and not a systemic or programmatic concern. The delay resulted from temporary staffing shortages and leadership transitions during a high-demand fiscal period, rather than from deficiencies in internal controls. The Department maintains appropriate internal controls, clearly assigned responsibilities, and supervisory review processes. With stabilized leadership and strengthened monitoring procedures in place, the County is confident that timely grant reporting will continue moving forward. Although the County’s internal control structure remains sound and responsibilities are clearly assigned, the following measures have been reinforced to ensure continuity during future staffing transitions or high-volume periods: 1. Affirmation of Existing Internal Controls o Confirmed that established internal controls over grant reporting remain appropriate and effective. o Reaffirmed clearly designated staff responsible for preparation, review, and submission of grant reports. 2. Enhanced Deadline Monitoring o Strengthened use of a centralized tracking log 3. Backup Coverage and Cross-Training o Identified backup personnel to ensure continuity during staff vacancies or absences. 4. Strengthened Management Oversight o With the new Fiscal Division Director in place, oversight and monitoring of grant reporting timelines have been reinforced. Management now conducts proactive check-ins during peak workload periods, including Fiscal Close-Out. Responsible Parties: Fiscal Division Director, Fiscal Unit Management, Assigned Accountant 3 and 2. Implementation and Completion Date: Corrective actions began in November 2024 following stabilization of leadership positions. Enhanced monitoring and oversight procedures are consistently reviewed, evaluated, and refined throughout the year to increase operational efficiency, strengthen internal controls, and ensure continued compliance with all grant reporting requirements.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS The Puerto Rico Department of Education (PRDE) accepts the finding identified by the auditors regarding the incorrect coding of five (5) reimbursement payments for equipment purchases in account E6170 (Donations and Contributions to Private Entities), rather than in the appropriate E5000-series accounts, and the omission of said assets from the institutional property register. The PRDE has initiated the necessary corrective actions to address this deficiency. Specifically, all assets included within the affected reimbursement transactions have been identified, and a detailed inventory is being prepared in which each asset is classified according to the capitalization criteria established in the Restart Program Fiscal Process Guide (unit cost equal to or greater than $500.00 and useful life greater than two (2) years). This inventory distinguishes between capitalizable equipment (E5000 series) and non-capitalizable equipment (E4414), in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Once finalized, the inventory file will be submitted to the PRDE’s Office of Property for review and mass upload into the institutional property register, ensuring that all assets acquired with Restart Program funds are properly recorded under PRDE ownership, in compliance with Section 102(h)(3) of the 2018 Hurricane Relief Act and the requirements of 2 CFR §200.302(b)(3)(4). IMPLEMENTATION DATE Fiscal Year 2026-2027 RESPONSIBLE PERSON Edgar Delgado Serrano Interim Director of Federal Affairs Office

FINDINGS - MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT Department of Housing and Urban Development Finding, 2025-005: Major Programs: Capital Advance Program, Federal Assistance Listing Number 14.U01 and Section 8 New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation, Federal Assistance Listing Number 14.182 - Material Weakness RECOMMENDATION The auditor recommends the Project and management review and attend training on the HUD Handbook.

Condition and Context: Our testing of 40 participant files noted the following: • No electronic income verification was done within the required time period for 20 of 40 participant selections. Effect or Potential Effect: The Housing Authority of the City of Winston-Salem (“ASPIRE”) is not in compliance with federal requirements regarding Eligibility. Cause: Tenant lease files were not maintained, and tenant eligibility was not determined in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: Unknown Identification as a Repeat Finding: This finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: ASPIRE should maintain complete and accurate participant files to ensure compliance with federal requirements. Views of Responsible Official(s) and Planned Corrective Actions: ASPIRE will improve internal controls to maintain complete and accurate participant files to ensure compliance with federal requirements. CORRECTIVE ACTION TO BE TAKEN: 1. No electronic income verification was done within the required time period for 20 of 40 participant selections. Response: Electronic Income Verification (EIV) reports were not completed within the required timeframe for 20 of the 40 public housing tenant files selected for review. The delays were the result of staff oversight and a lack of adequate monitoring to ensure EIV reviews were completed and documented within HUD-required timeframes. To address this issue, Public Housing staff have been retrained on EIV requirements, including HUD-required review and documentation deadlines. Management has reinforced expectations regarding the timely completion of EIV reviews and implemented additional monitoring procedures to ensure compliance. The Assistant Director has also established a tracking system and compliance calendar to assist staff in monitoring and completing required EIV reviews within the prescribed deadlines. In addition, the Assistant Director of Compliance conducts monthly reviews of a random sample of tenant files to verify compliance with EIV requirements and identify any deficiencies including the 120-day move in EIV reports and requires corrective action. Any findings are addressed through staff coaching, corrective action, and additional training as necessary. These measures are intended to strengthen internal controls, improve compliance monitoring, and ensure EIV reviews are completed in accordance with HUD requirements.

2025-001 – Management Review and Approval Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: During our testing of 40 payroll disbursements, we noted certain internal control processes were not consistently performed or documented. This included an instance identified during a payroll conversion in which an individual was compensated using an incorrect pay rate. In addition, timesheet review and approval procedures were informal in nature and not consistently documented, including 30 out of 40 instances where timesheets were approved through verbal communication and where there was no evidence of independent review for certain personnel. As a result, there is an increased risk that payroll transactions may be processed using inaccurate rates or unsupported hours and that errors or irregularities may not be detected in a timely manner. Additionally, the absence of documented review reduces accountability and transparency over payroll activities. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the Commission enhance formal procedures to ensure payroll reports are reviewed for accuracy of pay rates and hours prior to processing and that all timesheets are subject to documented review and approval, including independent review where appropriate. Corrective Action: Management will develop and implement formal procedures to strengthen controls over payroll processing and timesheet approvals, including requiring documented evidence of review and ensuring independent oversight where appropriate Responsible Person: Jim Snell Executive Director, Sydney Sheaks Finance Manager Anticipated Completion Date: 9/30/2026

2025-002 – Journal Entries and Disbursement Approval Controls Auditors Description of Condition and Effect: During our testing of journal entries and accounts payable disbursements, we noted certain internal control processes were not consistently performed or documented. This included 5 out of 40 instances where supporting documentation was not readily available for journal entries and 19 out of 40 instances where invoices were not consistently reviewed and approved by an individual independent of the preparer in accordance with Commission policy. These conditions are attributable to insufficiently formalized procedures and enforcement of controls governing journal entry support and disbursement review and approval. As a result, there is an increased risk that unsupported or inappropriate transactions could be recorded and that disbursements may be processed without proper authorization, increasing the risk of errors or irregularities not being detected in a timely manner. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the Commission strengthen procedures to ensure that all journal entries are supported by appropriate documentation and that all disbursements are reviewed and approved in accordance with established policies, with evidence of such review maintained. Corrective Action: Management will implement procedures to ensure all journal entries are adequately supported and that invoice approvals are documented in accordance with policy requirements. Responsible Person: Jim Snell Executive Director, Sydney Sheaks Finance Manager Anticipated Completion Date: 9/30/2026

In its 2025 Compliance Report, auditors made the following finding: Finding 2025‐001: Reporting – Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and compliance finding. Criteria: Under this grant program, the Foundation is required to complete semi‐annual performance reports in the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system. Condition: During reporting testing, it was noted that the Foundation had not completed or submitted the required performance reports during the year. Cause: The Foundation didn’t implement an effective control for ensuring the required reporting under the grant was completed and submitted timely. Effect: Internal control was not properly designed to identify the required reporting and prevent noncompliance, and the Foundation was not in compliance with the reporting requirement. Recommendation: The Foundation should implement internal controls over the reporting process that ensures the required reporting is submitted in a timely manner. In addition, the Foundation should ensure grant agreements are reviewed in detail so no required reporting is overlooked. In response, Southern Gateway Public Green Foundation commits to the following Corrective Action Plan:  Remedy: In order to remedy this violation, staff will take immediate action to file missing semiannual reports in cooperation with general contractor.  Responsibility for Implementing Remedy: Reports will be filed by Anne Hagan, VP of Strategic Initiatives.  Verification of Remedy: Reports will be reviewed by April Allen, President and CEO, and filing of reports will also be confirmed by April Allen, President and CEO  Deadline for Remedy: As soon as possible but no later than 7/31/26.  Consequences in the event remedy is not undertaken: Failure to file reports could result in request for reimbursement of grant revenue.  Training to Prevent future violations: Reporting requirements and grant agreements will be reviewed by Anne Hagan.  Statement on Consequences of Repeated Violations: If future reports are late or missed, already reimbursed grant payments may have to be repaid and SGPGF may not be eligible for future grant payments.

Finding ref number: 2025-002 Finding caption: The Housing Authority did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with Housing Quality Standard inspection requirements. Name, address, and telephone of Housing Authority contact person: Wendy Westby 600 Park Avenue Bremerton, WA 98337 (360) 616-7111 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: BHA agrees with the finding. BHA acknowledges that certain biennial HQS inspections were not completed within required timeframes due to a Yardi notification and scheduling issue, staffing limitations, and reliance on outdated guidance when determining inspection deadlines. BHA has taken and will continue to take corrective action to strengthen internal controls over HQS inspection scheduling, monitoring, and completion. Corrective actions include resolving the primary Yardi scheduling issue, completing additional system refinements and testing, updating procedures for determining biennial inspection due dates, training staff on current HQS inspection requirements and BHA policy, hiring an additional Housing Inspector I, using an additional contract inspector, and using temporary administrative support to assist with inspection scheduling and communication. During fiscal year 2026, BHA will use manual monitoring and quality-control supervisory review to track upcoming, completed, and overdue inspections while the backlog is being cleared. BHA will review inspection reports regularly to monitor progress and ensure inspections are scheduled and completed at least biennially in accordance with federal requirements and BHA policy. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: BHA expects to complete the inspection backlog and have inspections current by September 30, 2026. BHA expects to return to normal inspection operations effective October 1, 2026.

SCEC contracts with a third-party payroll provider to process our payroll. Upon discovery of this error, we reviewed all pay periods again, but found no other error regarding sick time overpayment, or any other time paid incorrectly. The payroll provider had merged companies in a prior year and had several system updates that caused this error. SCEC had other issues with this provider’s system. SCEC cancelled our contract with this payroll provider and contracted with a new payroll provider by the end of the 2025 fiscal year. Payroll is reviewed extensively before it is processed to ensure staff are being paid at their correct rates and other elements of payroll are correct.
