Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Prior Year Finding: No Criteria: Compliance: Per the Federal Funding Accountability Transparency Act (FFATA), prime(direct) recipients of grants or cooperative agreements are required to report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). Reports must be filed in FSRS by the end of the month following the month in which the prime recipient awards any sub-grant greater than or equal to $30,000. If the initial award is below $30,000 but subsequent grant modifications result in a total award equal to or over $30,000, the award will be subject to the reporting requirements as of the date the award exceeds $30,000. If the initial award equals or exceeds $30,000 but funding is subsequently de-obligated such that the total award amount falls below $30,000, the award continues to be subject to FFATA reporting requirements. The following key data elements must be reported: Sub awardee Name and Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number; Amount of Subaward (inclusive of modifications); Subaward Obligation/Action Date; Date of Report Submission; Subaward Number; Project Description; and Names and Compensation of Highly Compensated Officers. (Names and Compensation of Highly Compensated Officers must only be reported when the entity in the preceding fiscal year received 80 percent or more of its annual gross revenues in Federal awards; and $30,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from Federal awards; and the public does not have access to this information about the compensation of the senior executives of the entity through periodic reports filed under section 2 Howard County Government, Calvin Ball County Executive www.howardcountymd.gov 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. ?? 78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.) Control: Per 2 CFR section 200.303(a), a non-Federal entity must: Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non- Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should comply with guidance in ?Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government? issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the ?Internal Control Integrated Framework?, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Condition: The County did not accurately report required subaward information to FSRS for firsttier subawards of $30,000 or more. Questioned Costs: None Cause: The County?s policies and procedures were not sufficient to ensure that the required subaward information was reported to FSRS. Internal controls did not prevent or detect the errors. Effect: Subawards were not reported in FSRS in accordance with FFATA requirements. Recommendation: We further recommend the County to develop controls and procedures to ensure that all required subawards are reported accurately and timely to FSRS. Views of Responsible Officials: The County agrees with the finding and recommendation. The staff of the Howard County Department of Housing & Community Development (DHCD) will implement a process to ensure that FSRS reporting is completed no later than the end of the month following the month a sub award agreement has been executed. Action taken in response to the finding: DHCD obligates subawards on the date a grant agreement has been fully executed with a subrecipient. To ensure that the required subaward information is reported to FSRS accurately and in a timely manner, an internal process has been established where the FSRS reporting will be completed on or about the same time as the fully executed grant agreement is received. The DHCD Home Program Specialist will be responsible for submitting the FFATA report in FSRS.

SD 2022-005 Support for Matching Recommendation: Sources of and detail support for matching funds should be obtained prior to payment of subrecipient requests for reimbursement. Management Response: Since the prior audit, we implemented several changes which affect the repeated findings. The FY 20-21 Audit report was issued on June 30, 2022. The change in the fiscal year resulted in a 12-hour turnaround making it difficult to clear the findings and implement the recommended changes from last year's audit. We require match documentation to be provided upfront during the competitive RFP. We detailed in each sub-recipient contract the Match requirements that ensure compliance with 24 CFR 576.201 and 2 CFR 200.303. We have added a match reporting requirement to the invoicing process that requires proof of Match monthly. These sub-recipient contracts went into effect July 1, 2022 making the implementation of the recommended change effective outside of the fiscal year in review. This finding will be cleared in our next audit. RESPONSIBLE PARTY - AMBER CARROLL

Finding 2022-002 Condition/Context The Corporation included expenses in their Period 3 submission for Mount Nittany Medical Center, TIN 24-0795682, (the Center) that were previously allocated to the federal program and reported in the Period 1 submission, which resulted in expenses in the Period 3 submission being inaccurately reported and overstated by $3,073,785. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: As Mount Nittany Medical Center has a significant amount of available lost revenues, Management has adjusted the previously reported lost revenues to adjust for the questioned costs in the reporting period 4 filing. In addition, we have added steps to our PRF reporting policy to include preparation of a waterfall file which shows the total amount of COVID eligible expenses and the period in which they were allocated for PRF reporting to ensure we do not have a duplication of costs in the future. Beginning with reporting period 4, we also utilized the portal worksheets provided by HRSA to assist with preparing the filing. Finally, the preparation of the PRF filing for reporting period 4 (and future periods, if needed) has transitioned to the Assistant Controller to include an additional level of review by the Controller. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Karen Keys, Assistant Controller Scott Kaufman, Director, System Controller Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action plan described above was implemented and completed as of March 24, 2023, which is the date the period 4 filing was submitted.

Condition: There were three Education Stabilization Fund construction projects performed by a contractor. Grant expenditures for the projects totaled $770,436. (ESSER II - $401,545 and ESSER III $368,891). There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contracts and certified payrolls were not received. Questioned Costs: $770,436. Criteria: Wage rate requirements apply to the Education Stabilization Fund when laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors work on construction contracts more than $2,000. Laborers must be paid wages not less than those established for the locality of the project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL). Nonfederal entities shall include in their contracts subject to wage rate requirements a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations. This includes a requirement of the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Cause: The District was not aware that the wage requirement applied to these construction projects. Effect: Potential reimbursement for costs that did not follow the wage rate requirements. Context: The PA, HVAC, and water heater construction projects began in May, June, and September 2021, respectively, before the District was aware of wage rate requirements. After becoming aware of the requirement, there were no further construction projects. Recommendation: Establish controls to comply with wage rate requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund. Response: The District became aware of wage rate requirements after finishing the project. Before bidding any future construction projects more than $2,000, the request for bid and contract will include a prevailing wage rate clause. Certified payrolls will be received for any such contracts. Contact Person: Tim Zacharias Anticipated Completion: June 30, 2023

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Federal Program: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund AL Number: 84.425E/84.425FFinding Number: 2022-002 Department?s Response: Management acknowledges the finding regarding the timeliness with which the student aid and institutional portion of HEERF quarterly reports were posted on the College?s website during the period under review. During the height of the pandemic, colleges and universities were confronted with unprecedented challenges. Due to the administrative burden imposed by these challenges, the urgency to provide students with funds, and the numerous regulatory changes to eligibility requirements, reporting deficiencies arose. In addition, the staff transition during the period under review attributed to the delay in posting quarterly HEERF reports for the institutional portion after the required reporting deadline. However, all quarterly and annual reports for the institutional portion were posted on the College?s website prior to the end of the reporting period. Management also acknowledges the finding relating to posting of the student portion of HEERF information on the College?s website, as well as the fact that annual reports were submitted on time to the Department of Education, demonstrating our efforts in adhering to the reporting guidelines.Planned Corrective Action: The college has exhausted all HEERF funding, so a corrective action plan is no longer required.

Audit period: July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 FINDINGS?FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS MATERIAL WEAKNESS 2022-001 Internal control deficiency over review of expenditures COVID ? 19 ? Provider Relief Fund (Assistance Listing # 93.498) Recommendation: We recommend that management develop and implement effective internal controls, including review and approval of expenditures prior to submission, to ensure that the report submissions are accurate. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: In the audit of MWPH?s Provider Relief Fund (PRF), an error was identified in the Period 1 reporting of benefit expenses (repeat finding 2021-001) as an incremental expense in the HRSA portal. As a result, the Period 2 PRF report included an erroneous duplication of expenditures that stemmed from the Period 1 submission in the amount of $25,195. The Corporation attempted to correct the overstatement of fringe benefits by restating and unintentionally duplicated expenditures in the amount of $206,002 within the Period 2 submission. We believe it is relevant to note that the error was committed and subsequently identified by the MWPH CFO, who submitted information in Period 2 to correct the error. The error occurred when the CFO, who produced, reviewed and submitted all data for this small hospital, included benefits with salary costs in its calculations of Covid-related expenses. Both the salary and benefit costs were legitimate uses of the PRF funds. However, the expenses were included in both the Personnel and the Benefits line of the PRF portal, duplicating the reported expense for Period 2 as described above. The duplication was subsequently corrected and identified by the CFO in February 2023. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: For future submissions, the MWPH CFO will continue to stay current on reporting matters in the HRSA portal and continue to collaborate with UMMS Finance staff on guidance. Submission details will be reviewed by UMMS Finance staff. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Mary Miller, Chief Financial Officer of Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital, 410-578-5163.

Corrective Action Plan Finding 2022-001 ? Special Tests and Provisions ? Enrollment Reporting Compliance and Internal Control (Significant Deficiency) University's response: We concur. Name of contact person responsible for corrective action: Linda Albanese, Vice President Enrollment Management Corrective action: In response to the Enrollment Reporting audit finding, Molloy University will continue to check the NSLDS homepage Announcement section multiple times per week for any notice that the Enrollment History Update page is functioning. We are also subscribed to email communications from Compliance & Data Ops Managing Director of the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) and the New York State Financial Aid Administrators (NYSFAAA). The re opening of the Enrollment History page will be announced through any of these venues or by electronic announcement from the Federal Student Aid (FSA) Office of the U.S. Department of Education. While Molloy certification dates are correct in our student information system, Jenzabar, the certification date in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) prints as MM/DD/YYYY or the current date because the new website is not working properly. This is an NSLDS issue, and the University was advised not to make any changes in the site at this time. As per guidance from FSA, Molloy has retained copies of all announcements as documentation for audit purposes. These electronic announcements highlight the issues relating to the retirement of the old NSLDS website and the launch of the new website. Electronic announcements between June and November 2022 identified enrollment functionality issues. And the update to the November announcement reported the enrollment roster dissemination delay. The latest electronic announcement in January 2023 confirmed that colleges were not able to comply with enrollment reporting requirements. While Molloy continues to monitor all updates regarding the site, the University has also proactively reached out to the NSLDS Customer Service Center. In Case #221208 000270 the reply, dated December 8, 2022, confirmed that the errors reflected in NSLDS were not the fault of Molloy, but rather due to the issues with the NSLDS website. As soon as the suspension of the NSLDS Enrollment History Update functionality is lifted, Molloy will make the necessary updates. Proposed Completion Date: As soon as the suspension of the NSLDS Enrollment History Update functionality is lifted, Molloy University will make the necessary updates.

2022-001 Eligibility ? Tenant Files Program: U.S. Department of HUD: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control and Material Noncompliance This is a repeat finding of 2021-001 from June 30, 2021 Statement of Condition Out of a total tenant population of approximately 200 vouchers, 20 files were selected for testing. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 error where the utility allowance was calculated incorrectly and reported incorrectly on the 50058 form. The HAP rent amount did not change. ? 1 file where the tenant?s wage income was calculated using only one paystub even though the tenant provided two. This changes the tenant?s HAP rent from $592 to $579. ? 1 file where the $360 for food stamps was included in the tenant?s income and should have been excluded. This changes the HAP rent from $466 to $475. ? 1 file where there was no support for a full-time student deduction for one member of the household. The HAP rent amount did not change. ? 1 file that did not contain a signed lease agreement and HAP contract for the current landlord and unit address. In addition to the above, during our new admissions testing (3 tested out of 22 new admissions) we noted the following: ? 1 error where the request for tenancy form was signed three days after voucher expiration with no proof of extension in the file. ? 1 error where the HAP contract was signed by the owner more than 11 months after the move-in date. Recommendation The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken We concur with this finding and have implemented various controls. A tenant file and unit quality control procedure has been developed and implemented.
