Finding No. 2024-001: Return of Title IV Funds – Control Deficiency Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education CFDA Number and Title: 84.063 – Federal Pell Grant Questioned Costs: $ 876 Responsible Individual: James Oshiro, Financial Aid Director Date Action Taken: August 15, 2024 This finding is a result of a student return of Title IV funds after the R2T4 calculation was completed. At UH- West Oʻahu, student returns are returned by the university on the student’s behalf. With this finding, the student return portion of the R2T4 calculation was simply overlooked and was not returned to the federal government in a timely manner. A new staff member also took over the R2T4 duties about a year and a half ago. Once the student return was identified as not returned (nor failed to notify the student to repay the grant overpayment), the return was immediately completed and a full review of all R2T4 withdrawals for the award year was completed for any additional occurrences. There were no other student returns which was not completed. To prevent any future overlooked student returns, an R2T4 checklist was created to review the numerous steps in the R2T4 process in order to check ourselves.

Finding: 2024-003 IV-D Non-Cooperation Edgecombe County County Administration Building 201 St. Andrew St., PO Box 10 Tarboro, NC 27886 252-641-7834 ∙ Fax 252-641-0456 www.edgecombecountync.gov For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 Corrective Action Plan Edgecombe County, NC Proposed Completion Date: June 30, 2024 Name of contact person: Linda Barfield, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Action: The budget variance in Debt Service stemmed from the reclassification of lease and subscription expenses originally budgeted at the departmental level. For financial reporting purposes, ease and subscription principal payments were reclassed to debt service to ensure accurate reporting. While the original departmental budgets were within approved limits, the reclassification affected the Debt Service budget after the fiscal year ended. FY24 is the first year of implementation of GASB 96 for subscriptions and the second year of GASB 87 for leases. The impacts of both these GASBs, was not fully known at the time the budget was adopted. The County will make the necessary budget amendments to FY25 budget before the end of the fiscal year to align the budget with anticipated financial reporting. Additionally, the County implemented additional review procedures to monitor such reclassifications closely and will continue to assess our budget tracking processes to prevent similar instances in future periods. Section II. Financial Statement Findings Proposed Completion Date: June 30, 2024 Name of contact person: Linda Barfield, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Action: The County initiated a rate study to assess the adequacy of our current rate structure in supporting both operating expenses and debt service obligations. The rate study analysis is still being finalized, so the impact to the rates is not yet known. The County plans to carefully consider adjustments or operational improvements based on the study’s findings to ensure compliance with bond covenants. Section III - Federal Award Findings and Question Costs Name of contact person: Brandy Dawes and Tina Radford, Medicaid Supervisors. Denise McKnight, Social Services Program Administrator Corrective Action: Application checklist updated to include line items to list all children in the household and absent parents. This list will ensure that the workers include IV-D referrals for all children when a parent is receiving benefits. Medicaid Supervisors and Quality Control workers will review files internally to ensure policy is applied to all cases and that the evidence entered into NCFAST and shows that a IV-D referral have been sent to Child Support.

Finding 2024-002 – Housing Choice Voucher Program – Internal Control over Waiting List – Noncompliance and Material Weakness - Housing Choice Voucher Program – ALN 14.871 Corrective Action Plan: Tenant Selection from Waiting List RHA has implemented its corrective action plan identified in the response to the previous audit’s findings, including state-of-the-art YARDI waiting list management software and simplifying admissions preferences. By updating the waiting lists using the new software, the waiting lists are far more manageable now with less than 2,000 active applications. In addition, implementation of YARDI’s Application and Applicant portal have eliminated the need to use mistake-prone strategies like spreadsheets. The entire process is automated and simpler to use. Continued implementation of the software, including educating our applicants (and participants) will eliminate previous instances of noncompliance. RHA will monitor and conduct quality control measures to ensure full compliance. Anticipated Date of Completion. Implementation of all corrective actions are complete. RHA anticipates that it will be in compliance by the end of the current fiscal year—March 31, 2025. Person Responsible: Priscilla Batts, HCV Director, is principally responsible and accountable for the outcome above.

Finding 2024-001 – Housing Choice Voucher Program Tenant Files – Eligibility – Internal Control over Tenant Files – Noncompliance and Material Weakness - Housing Choice Voucher Program – ALN 14.871 Corrective Action Plan: Timeliness of Annual Recertifications RHA has implemented all strategies identified in the Corrective Action Plan in response to the previous audit’s finding regarding later annual recertifications, including, but not limited to: • Competitive compensation to attract and retain qualified employees. • Housing Choice Voucher Certification and other training to enhance RHA’s ability to comply with HUD regulations. • Reorganization of the department to implement case management to replace conveyor-belt style approach to annual recertifications to inject greater accountability for outcomes. • Improved supervisor to employee ratios to ensure that managers have reasonable supervisory loads (maximum of 1 TO 6). • Implementation of YARDI software to increase efficiency of our annual recertification processes. In addition to these corrective action strategies, RHA has also implemented state of the art information tools to track recertifications, measure timeliness and completion performance, and motivate staff and teams to perform at the highest level. The results of these efforts are in line with the expectation that was included in the previous corrective action plan: Anticipated Completion Date: These are mainly system changes that will be fully implemented in 2024, for example, new software, with significant improvements that will be evidenced by December 31, 2024. The results so far in December 2024 have exceeded expectations. For example, • As of December 1, 2024, 87% of recertifications with an effective date of January 1, 2025, had been completed. • As of December 16, 2024, 94% had been completed. • As of December 16, 2024, 73% of recertifications with a due date of January 1, 2025, and an effective date of February 1, 2025, have been completed. Our goal is to complete 90 to 95% by the due date, allowing for cases where participants are late in submitting their information. Having completed all corrective action strategies and plans, RHA expects results that will be in full compliance with completing annual recertification by their due date by July 31, 2025. Person Responsible: Priscilla Batts, HCV Director, is principally responsible and accountable for the outcome above.
