2025-004 REPORTING – CASH MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT ACT WEST VIRGINIA STATE TREASURER’S OFFICE (WVSTO) Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.551/10.561/10.555/17.225/20.205/84.010/84.027/84.425/93.558/93.568/ 93.575/93.658/93.659/93.767/93.778/97.036 For the Annual Report filing deadline, December 31, 2025, W...
2025-004 REPORTING – CASH MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT ACT WEST VIRGINIA STATE TREASURER’S OFFICE (WVSTO) Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.551/10.561/10.555/17.225/20.205/84.010/84.027/84.425/93.558/93.568/ 93.575/93.658/93.659/93.767/93.778/97.036 For the Annual Report filing deadline, December 31, 2025, WVSTO staff experienced multiple extenuating circumstances including training of newer staff members, medical treatments, illness, and the sudden unexpected passing of a close family member. Realizing that these circumstances would interfere with the timely submission of the Annual Report, an extension was requested on December 30, 2025, with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and was granted through Friday, January 9, 2026. Regrettably, the extenuating circumstances were not fully resolved by that date, and the report was ultimately submitted on January 14, 2026. The WVSTO remained focused on completing the Report but overlooked the need to request an additional extension. WVSTO staff subsequently met with Angela Smith, Director of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and staff members Mary Bailey and Christopher Bush from the Revenue Collections Management Team. Director Smith confirmed there will be no penalties assessed due to the late filing. Additionally, WVSTO Banking Services staff will review the internal timeline of CMIA activities and procedures to ensure that future reporting is complete and submitted in a timely manner.

2025-017 ALLOWABLE COSTS/COST PRINCIPLES DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES (DOHS) Assistance Listing Number: 93.659 DOHS maintains a multi-layered review process for P-card payments. While documentation for the two specific transactions totaling $26 was unavailable at the time of the audit, these transactions were processed through the same automated financial system that enforces budgetary limits and eligibility checks for all validated cases. Due to current system configurations, P-card transactions must be processed even when documentation is missing. According to the internal controls, any transaction not properly reconciled is marked “Admin Not Reconciled”. This designation indicates the DOHS is aware of the missing documentation, which, according to policy, becomes the cardholder’s responsibility. The Office of Shared Administration (OSA) P-card Division provides reconciliation dates and notifies coordinators of any unreconciled transactions. If a cardholder loses a receipt, they are permitted to submit a lost receipt memo detailing the purchase, accompanied by a supervisor’s signature. The P-card Division has recently begun working closely with the DOHS’s internal purchasing card audit section within the OSA Office of Accountability and Management Reporting (OAMR) to mitigate reconciliation errors. OAMR reviews transactions for accuracy and completeness. Through this coordinated effort, missing documentation or errors are investigated and brought to management’s attention. DOHS will continue to issue monthly notifications to staff emphasizing that all P-card expenditures must be reconciled with proper documentation within one week of the cycle end date. Reconciliations must be electronically reviewed and approved by a supervisor to verify the allowability of costs. To mitigate noncompliance, the P-card Division will work with OAMR to monitor repeated occurrences. Persistent failure to provide documentation or obtain approval may result in the temporary suspension of purchasing privileges. These measures ensure that documentation is maintained, reviewed, and readily available for future audits.

2025-013 West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM) response: As of December 2025, WVSOM updated the program enrollment date within the graduation spreadsheet processed out of the Banner system. Going forward, WVSOM registrar will create a calendar reminder to confirm program enrollment on the spreadsheet. The reminder function will be used to ensure this step is not missed in the future. WVSOM registrar will check the report diligently for accuracy. Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College (SWVCTC) response: SWVCTC is consulting with the Clearinghouse to better understand and identify any data elements of concern. SWVCTC is working to resubmit enrollment files and will review each file to ensure the data and processes are correct. An internal review by the CIO and Registrar will be done on each submission for a period of at least six months or until all parties are satisfied with the submissions. REPORTING – SPECIAL REPORTING – LIHEAP CARRYOVER AND REALLOTMENT REPORT DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES (DOHS) Assistance Listing Number: 93.568 To strengthen internal controls, the Office of Grants Management will reevaluate its current process for tracking LIHEAP program reporting requirements and meeting deadlines. This evaluation, which will be completed by July 1, 2026, will aim to identify specific staff training needs.

2025-022 SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS – INCOME ELIGIBILITY AND VERIFICATION SYSTEM DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES (DOHS) Assistance Listing Number: 93.558 Effective April 1, 2026, the Department of Human Services’ Bureau for Family Assistance will implement a series of mandatory training and policy enhancements designed to bolster compliance and documentation standards for all WV WORKS workers. The primary focus of these updates is the rigorous handling of data matches; specifically, workers must complete a Blackboard course on Single Agency Audits that emphasizes the necessity of documenting all Income and Eligibility Verification System (IEVS) matches. To support this at the foundational level, an IEVS case comments exercise has been integrated into the third week of the standard training curriculum. Monitoring and quality control will also enhance Rushmore Review protocols. Supervisors are now required to perform three Rushmore Reviews per month, while the WV WORKS policy team will continue their own reviews to track systemic trends. Furthermore, the Division of Performance and Quality Improvement (DPQI) will now include specific compliance checks for data match completion within their monthly review of 18 cases. To ensure staff are well-equipped for these changes, the Division of Professional Development has released a suite of resources, including procedural Desk Guides and supplementary YouTube training videos. Supervisors are required to present them during monthly unit meetings. To finalize the process, every worker must provide a formal sign-off to confirm they have received and understood the updated procedures regarding data exchanges. 85

However, due to the recently fluctuating landscape of cybersecurity, security needs involved, and the number of staff available for the task, WVSU has not yet completed, nor approved any policy beyond the preliminary stages. WVSU is committed to having a written cyber security policy by the end of 2025-2026 which will have been approved by WVSU administration. Further delaying the process was a change in CFO during FY 2026.

2025-010 CASH MANAGEMENT GLENVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY (GSU), SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA COMMUNTY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE (SWVCTC) Assistance Listing Numbers: 84.063/84.268 Glenville State University (GSU) Response: As of December 2024, the Glenville State University (GSU) Financial Aid Office, in conjunction with the GSU Business and Finance Office, has implemented policies and procedures to perform, at a minimum, monthly Pell Grant and Direct Loan reconciliations, with the appropriate signoffs. The GSU Financial Aid Office reviews and reconciles all Pell Grant and Direct Loan disbursement records at least monthly by comparing Banner records to Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) records. If any do not match, the GSU Financial Aid Office notes this within their documentation and resolves these discrepancies in a timely manner. They are reconciled by the GSU Financial Aid Office, signed off by the reconciling staff member, as well as the Financial Aid Director. Further, the GSU Business and Finance Office Accountant and GSU Financial Controller review and sign-off the reconciled data. The final copy is kept within the GSU Financial Aid Office. 78 Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College (SWVCTC) Response: A Monthly Reconciliation Cover Sheet has been developed. The Financial Aid Counselor will complete the monthly and annual reconciliation for each fund (e.g., Pell Grant, Student Loans). The cover sheet will document the month reconciled, the fund being reconciled, the amount disbursed in Banner, the amount disbursed through COD, any discrepancies with explanations, and the preparer’s signature. The applicable SAS Reconciliation for each fund will be attached to the cover sheet. Upon completion, the reconciliation and cover sheet will be reviewed and approved by the Director of Student Financial Assistance.

2025-009 REPORTING SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE, OTHER MATTERS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR (GO) Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 The GO fully believes that its documentation and support for obligations and expenditures incurred under its SLFRF funding is available and appropriate to support all items, though recognizes there were challenges and delays in its ability to provide the information to our auditors due to miscommunications and need to coordinate across multiple agencies. That said, the GO recognizes that certain errors were noted in the amounts reported in the quarterly expenditure reports and is committed to enhancing its processes going forward. In particular, as the new administration has had a chance to become more familiar with the reporting processes and its relationship with the third-party firm responsible for assisting the State’s creation and submission of its expenditure reporting. In particular, the GO will ensure that each quarterly expenditure report includes a clearly defined project schedule that allows ample time for the full review and confirmation of information and data included prior to the report’s due date. Additionally, the third-party firm has added additional resources to support the reporting periods and developed new templates to better track and summarize the information aggregated across all agencies spending SLFRF funds to better enable review and identification of any errors or questions.

2025-008 SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS: UI PROGRAM INTEGRITY - OVERPAYMENTS SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE, OTHER MATTERS WORKFORCE WEST VIRGINIA (WFWV) Assistance Listing Number: 17.225 The overpayment in question was caused by an appeal decision made by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). The overpayment was established and coded correctly based on the ALJ decision in September 2024, even though an overpayment memo was not available. In October 2024, the Benefit Payment Control Overpayment Policy was revised to include instructions to create overpayment memos for all lower and higher authority appeal decisions which result in an overpayment of benefits. Benefit & Technical Support unit staff, who process appeal decisions, were made aware of the requirement.
2025-007 SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS: UI BENEFIT PAYMENT WORKFORCE WEST VIRGINIA (WFWV) Assistance Listing Number: 17.225 WFWV acknowledges and agrees with the finding that Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) cases were not reviewed and closed within the time limits established by ET Handbook No. 39...
2025-007 SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS: UI BENEFIT PAYMENT WORKFORCE WEST VIRGINIA (WFWV) Assistance Listing Number: 17.225 WFWV acknowledges and agrees with the finding that Benefit Accuracy Measurement (BAM) cases were not reviewed and closed within the time limits established by ET Handbook No. 395. During the performance year, the BAM team faced significant staffing challenges, which delayed the timely completion of audits and restricted the availability of personnel for reviewing completed cases. To address this issue, WFWV has implemented the following corrective measures: 1. Trained a support staff member in November 2024 to assist BAM analysts with administrative tasks, including setting up new case files, issuing second and third requests for information, and calculating wages based on employer-provided verification forms. This support enables analysts to dedicate more time to core investigative work. 2. Hired an additional BAM analyst in November 2025 to reduce management’s workload in completing audits, allowing them to prioritize the review of completed cases. Furthermore, as of January 2026, management and the BAM support staff now use a shared redesigned spreadsheet to track the progress of assigned cases. This tool provides real-time visibility into case statuses, ensuring more effective monitoring of completion timeliness and preventing future delays.

2025-006 REPORTING – FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA) DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (DEP) Assistance Listing Number: 15.252 The finding states that the DEP did not report subaward information in accordance with reporting requirements. Specifically, two reports selected for testing were not reported in a timely manner. Based on the previous year’s finding, DEP implemented standard operating procedures on January 24, 2024, to ensure compliance with the FFATA reporting requirements. DEP concurs that the two reports found to be in noncompliance were, in fact, submitted after the required deadline. This oversight was primarily due to the understaffing of the Sub Grants Unit at the time these reports were to be submitted. DEP currently has sufficient standard operating procedures to ensure compliance with FFATA reporting. DEP will temporarily reassign staff responsibilities to ensure reporting compliance timelines are met until the current vacancy in the Sub Grants Unit can be filled to provide additional support to the existing staff.

2025-005 REPORTING – FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA) DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (DOE) Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.553/10.555/10.556/10.559/10.582 During FY 2025, the FFATA reporting system changed from the FSRS site to SAM.gov. Many transactions that were originally entered into the FSRS site did not transfer over and had to be re-entered into SAM.gov, making those entries appear late. In addition, we had trouble getting the SAM.gov site to accept our FFATA entries. DOE worked with SAM.gov customer support to eventually get the issues resolved, but this also resulted in late reporting. Subsequent to the systematic issues being resolved, all FFATA reports have been completed timely and will continue to be reported timely going forward.

Condition: The Organization lacked adequate controls to ensure reviews were performed by a different individual than the one responsible for preparing monthly financial reporting, calculations of per-unit activity, and requests for reimbursement. Planned Corrective Action: 1. Standardization of Financial Reporting Workflow: A formal segregation of duties for all federal and pass-through reimbursement requests and financial reports has been implemented. Effective immediately, the individual responsible for accumulating cost data and calculating per-unit activity (preparer) is prohibited from being the reviewer. 2. Implementation of Approval Process: All reports must now be submitted by the preparer to the designated reviewer for approval via email prior to submission. An approval response from the reviewer is required prior to submission to the awarding agency. 3. Staff Training: All grants management and accounting personnel have been briefed on the requirements of 2 CFR 200.303, specifically regarding the necessity of documented internal controls to provide reasonable assurance of compliance.

Recommendation: We recommend the District continue to enhance and consistently apply R2T4 procedures by providing ongoing training to staff responsible for R2T4 calculations and by continuing with additional reviews and quality control measures to ensure accuracy and compliance. Action taken in response to finding: The District acknowledges the importance of compliance with Return to Title IV (R2T4) requirements. The repeat finding cited in the subsequent audit relates to files processed prior to implementation of the corrective action plan. Since implementation, the District has not identified any new R2T4 errors or compliance issues. Action taken in response to finding: 1. Prior-Year File Remediation • Recalculated R2T4 amounts for affected students. • Returned required funds to the U.S. Department of Education. 2. Oversight and Review Controls • Engaged a NASFAA-certified consultant to review all R2T4 calculations during the 2024–2025 aid year. • Implemented secondary internal review of all R2T4 calculations. 3. Training and Staffing Enhancements • Completed department-wide and R2T4-specific training. • R2T4 staff completed NASFAA R2T4 course series. • An additional Accounting Officer position was added to support R2T4 processing and reconciliation with appropriate system access. 4. Process Improvements • Transitioned to the Department of Education’s R2T4 worksheet in COD. • Established formal coordination with Academic Affairs and the Registrar. • Updated R2T4 training and job aids. 5. Ongoing Monitoring • Management performs periodic internal reviews of R2T4 files. • The District continues to evaluate system and reporting enhancements. Conclusion Although the audit included R2T4 files processed prior to corrective action implementation, the District’s actions have been effective. No new R2T4 issues have been identified since implementation, and controls are in place to ensure ongoing compliance.

Corrective Action Plan Single Audit Finding 2025-001: Internal Controls over Allowable Costs/Activities Plan: The IFA acknowledges the importance of internal controls and appropriate segregation of duties ensuring the review and approval process for Authority financial transactions (i.e., expenditures applied to corresponding grants are allowable; month-end financial entries; etc.). With recent staff additions, IFA has enhanced its internal control environment by implementing a review/authorization process to ensure the preparation and approval of journal entries (i.e., month-end, etc.) occurs in accordance of established internal controls and appropriate segregation of duties (e.g., month-end journal entries prepared by the IFA SVP-FA are reviewed and approved by the IFA Chief Operating Officer, or appropriate designee). Since manual or adjusting journal entries are information processing activities that carry higher risk, a review of journal entries after posting serve as acceptable verification control in accordance with the United States Government Accountability Office Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government that helps ensure transactions are appropriate. These post-entry reviews represent an acceptable form of management oversight (Principle 16) and serve as an acceptable validation check (Principle 10) to confirm that entries align with supporting documentation, reconcile with expectations, and aligned with organizational directives.

Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: MARTA recognizes the importance of ensuring all expenses are approved before they are incurred. To address this finding, MARTA is updating its internal procurement rules to clearly state that a purchase order must be signed prior to ordering any items or initiating any services. This measure will prevent the receipt of invoices for costs that have not been officially authorized. Additionally, MARTA is creating a formal backup approval plan. Under this plan, if the General Manager is unavailable, another designated leader will have the documented authority to approve purchases immediately, eliminating the need to wait for the General Manager’s return to complete the necessary paperwork. Finally, MARTA’s finance team will implement a new check-and-balance step in the payment process. Moving forward, the team will verify that the date on the approved purchase order comes before the date on the vendor's invoice. If the dates are out of sequence, the payment will be flagged for review. In addition, MARTA will conduct a training session for all department heads to reinforce that verbal orders are not permitted and that written authorization must always be obtained first. This plan is designed to ensure full compliance with federal grant requirements and prevent any future delays in the approval process.

Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions Questioned Costs: None. Corrective Action: In February 2026, the District was notified that inadequate supporting documentation could not be located relating to the graduation cohort requirements specifically regarding student withdrawal forms and exit codes reported to the Colorado Department of Education (CDE). The lack of documentation was primarily attributable to significant staff turnover during Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025. This turnover resulted in inconsistencies in record retention practices and gaps in documentation management procedures associated with student withdrawal records and related reporting requirements. To address this issue, the District is implementing corrective measures to strengthen internal controls and ensure ongoing compliance. The District is actively developing and formalizing written procedures that clearly define documentation requirements, roles and responsibilities, and timelines related to student withdrawals and exit coding. All supporting documentation will be uploaded at the time of record creation into a centralized electronic system for each student. The District is also establishing a system of redundancy, including supervisory review and periodic internal checks, to ensure completeness, accuracy, and retention of required documentation. These controls are designed to prevent future documentation deficiencies and to ensure full compliance with state reporting requirements. The District is committed to maintaining accurate records and strengthening internal processes to support continued compliance requirements. Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: Kathryn Sampson, Executive Director – Finance & Operations Anticipated Completion Date: February 2026
