Finding #2025-001 - Material Audit Adjustments Criteria: Proper financial closing and year-end reconciliation procedures should be in place to identify and adjust the financial records to ensure the financial statements are fairly stated. Condition: The auditors proposed audit adjustments that, if not made, would have resulted in the financial statements being materially misstated. Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and material adjustments were needed in order to con-ect various transactions. The District's system of internal control may not prevent, detect, or correct misstatements in the financial statements. Financial reports generated by the accounting system may not provide an accurate reflection of the District's financial position or activities. Not reconciling accounts on a timely basis could lead to errors or other problems not being recognized and resolved. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded and reconciled in a timely manner. Response: The District acknowledges their responsibility for the financial statements and recording of the current year activity. Going forward, the District will verify that all activity is completely and accurately recorded in the financial records and reflected on the financial statements.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action In coordination with detailed discussions with the auditors, DPS has determined that its existing quarterly reconciliation process within SHARE remains an appropriate and effective control for the preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). This process is designed to review grant-related transactions for invoicing accuracy, monitoring, and compliance and provides reasonable assurance over grant oversight and expense allowability. In addition, at fiscal year-end, DPS will perform a SEFA-specific review from a revenue perspective to confirm that federal revenue recorded in the general ledger and reimbursement requests are complete, accurate, and consistent with grant-related expenditures. This layered review process is intended to identify and resolve any instances in which expenses may be evaluated or adjusted for reimbursement purposes while remaining appropriately recorded within grant activity in the accounting records. Management concurs that the expenditure amounts reported on DPS’ final SEFA submitted to auditors related to AL 97.036 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) were inaccurate. While DPS had carefully and accurately tracked the allowable expenditures of $583,271 for two FEMA events (DR 4795 Roswell South Fork Salt Fire $543,587.72 & DR 4843 NM Roswell Flood $39,683.22) and discussed in detail with the auditors how allowable costs were determined, our submitted SEFA had a formula error which resulted in the two FEMA events not being accurately included in the total. Furthermore, management concurs that the preparation and analysis of a revenue-based SEFA, performed in addition to the expenditure-based SEFA, resulted in net adjustments of $25,998 to the previously submitted FY25 SEFA. Management concurs that DPS did not have a pre-existing formal procedure specific to the receipt and processing of federally donated surplus and usable personal property at the time of this transaction. However, management emphasizes that the donation of three federally provided robots—valued by the donor at $150,000 each for a total of $450,000—was highly unusual in nature and outside the scope of DPS’s routine grant and property transactions. As a result, DPS undertook extensive research and consultation to ensure compliance with all applicable federal requirements, as well as GASB and GAAP standards, prior to final accounting and reporting treatment. Management has created procedures to ensure the donated assets are correctly valued and included in DPS’s capital asset listing. DPS will record the donated capital assets in the government wide financial statements as capital assets and record as a revenue and expense transaction in the fund financial statements. Management further notes that DPS will follow GASB 33 and GASB 72 for non-exchange transactions when this type of transaction reoccurs. Corrective Action Plan Timeline: Process for federally donated useable personal property/assets has been implemented as of December 1, 2025. Updated SEFA process to be completed no later than October 9, 2026. Designation Of Employee Position Responsible For Meeting Deadline: CFO Deputy ASD Director ASD Director

Context: The School Corporation expended $2,354,885 during the previous audit period on equipment acquisitions for a new HVAC system and chiller at the North White Middle-High School building. Equipment acquisitions were charged to the ESSER II (84.425D) and ESSER III (84.425U) grant awards in the prior audit period. During the testing of equipment acquisitions, it was noted the School Corporation had not updated the capital asset ledger as of June 30, 2025 for federal equipment acquisitions made in the current and prior period and had not fully implemented the corrective action plan from the previous audit related to this finding. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: When the capital asset inventory is completed, the Corporation Treasurer and the Building/Maintenance Director will verify the inventory is up to date and accurate. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Treasurer and Building/Maintenance Director will work together after the school year to ensure the capital asset inventory is current.

Condition – During testing of student account activity, we identified that nine (9) out of sixty (60) sampled students had Title IV -created credit balances that remained on their accounts for more than 14 days without being released to the student or parent. Views of Responsible Officials - The College accepts the recommendation. The institution has reviewed the audit finding and acknowledges that student refunds were not consistently issued within the required 14-day timeframe due to students’ incomplete admissions requirements. The institution recognizes this as a compliance deficiency and has implemented revised processes and internal controls to ensure timely and compliant issuance of student refunds going forward. Effective immediately, the Registrar’s Office provides a weekly roster of students with incomplete admission requirements to the Financial Aid Office and the Business Office prior to the release of federal student aid. These offices meet weekly to review the roster, ensure timely communication, and document all actions taken. This control ensures that federal student aid is not disbursed when admissions requirements have not been met and prevents the creation of improper student credit balances. Under the revised refund process, the Business Office staff identify student credit balances and prepare refund requests. These requests are reviewed by the Registrar’s Office to reconfirm when admission requirements have been met and by the Financial Aid Office to confirm that federal student aid has been properly originated and disbursed through the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. If it is determined that a student’s admissions requirements are incomplete and a refund has been created, the Business Office notifies the Financial Aid Office to cancel all applicable federal student aid and return the funds to the U.S. Department of Education through COD. When a student’s admissions requirements have been met, then the Business Office completes the refund process by transmitting the approved refund file to the institution’s third-party refund vendor and submitting funds for release to students. These revised procedures strengthen oversight, improve interdepartmental coordination, and ensure compliance with federal refund timelines. College administrators for each department (Vice President for Student Affairs and Vice President for Business and Finance) will be responsible for informing staff of changes in campus operations that may have an impact on their ability to process refunds.

Finding 2025-002 - U.S. Department of Education (USDE, Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs (significant deficiency): Information on the federal program: Federal Direct Student Loans, FAL No. 84.268, June 30, 2025; Federal Pell Grant Program, FAL No. 84. 063, June 30, 2025; Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, FAL No. 84.007, June 30, 2025; Federal Work-Study Program, FAL No. 84.033, June 30, 2025. Condition - Based on documentation provided for the 2024–2025 award year, the College disbursed Title IV funds to a student whose ISIR contained Comment Code 325, indicating that the student’s unaccompanied homeless youth status required resolution prior to awarding and disbursing aid. The College did not provide documentation from an authorized entity, nor evidence of a documented Financial Aid Administrator case-by-case determination, to support the student’s independent status. As a result, the student’s dependency status remained unresolved at the time Title IV funds were disbursed. Views of Responsible Officials – The College accepts the recommendation Although a recommendation was noted, the Financial Aid Management System (FAMS) was not programmed as expected for the 2024– 2025 FAFSA application year. The issue was anticipated to be addressed by the third-party vendor through system updates; however, because of the programming oversight, no system flag was generated to request self-supporting documentation or validation of a student’s homelessness or risk of homelessness. In addition, the Department of Education’s FAFSA application did not generate a comment code requiring further action on the student’s record. The Institution has since worked with its third-party vendor to correct the programming oversight to ensure that required documentation is requested for students who indicate homelessness or risk of homelessness. Additionally, at the direction of the FAMS vendor, the Financial Aid Office implemented an internal edit to ensure a system flag alerts staff when documentation is required to resolve such cases. With these corrections, the conditions that caused the error have been addressed. Responsible Officials -The Financial Aid Office under the direction of the Vice President of Student Affairs plans to have the finding resolved by its next fiscal year end audit (between July – October 2026).To ensure ongoing compliance, the Financial Aid Office will monitor student records for appropriate flags and required documentation. The College is aware of the need to review and mitigate compliance risks in this area and will use the described corrective action plan to reduce those risks and eliminate the potential for future audit findings.
