Recommendation: We recommend the University retain evidence that key controls over COD reporting were performed. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Financial Aid Office completes COD reporting on a weekly basis and will maintain a documentation set for each reporting cycle in a central location using consistent naming conventions. The documentation set will include COD submission batch acceptance files and receipt acknowledgements, edit and error reports with resolution notes and dates, internal system disbursement rosters showing dates and amounts, and adjustment logs. These records will be used to support monthly federal aid reconciliations with the Business Affairs Office. Designated staff responsible for COD submission tracking will also maintain the related reconciliation support documentation. The Financial Aid Policy and Procedure Manual will be updated accordingly, and staff will be trained annually and during onboarding.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.268, 84.063, 84.007, 84.033, 84.379 Recommendation: We recommend that the University implement a key control to ensure that enrollment data, changes in status, and effective dates within NSLDS match the records of the institution and are reported timely, and to store evidence of the key control having occurred. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The University reports enrollment more frequently than the required 60 days to capture status changes in a timely manner. Reporting occurs each term at the end of the second week, the Tuesday after Census, Monday of week 7, and the end of the term. The Registrar and Financial Aid Office created a process to communicate accurate last dates of academic engagement (LDAs) for unofficial withdrawals so that withdrawal dates match LDAs used in Return of Title IV (R2T4) calculations and unofficial withdrawals are reported to NSLDS through the regular NSC process. The Offices have also instituted a shared tracking and review process to regularly spot-check enrollment reports to ensure that data reported in Banner matches NSC reports and is correctly uploaded to NSLDS. Documentation of unofficial withdrawals, LDAs, error reports, and tracking of sampling outcomes with any needed corrections are maintained in the school’s files and shared between offices. The Registrar’s Office will review Banner and NSC submissions to ensure accurate and matching LDAs and status dates; the Financial Aid Office is responsible for confirming NSC submittals have successfully uploaded to NSLDS and reflect correct data that matches R2T4 and unofficial withdrawal info. Manual reporting to NSLDS will only be used for emergency updates to meet timeliness requirements, with multiple follow-up verification for NSC or roster file overwrites. Policy and Procedures Manuals will be updated accordingly, and staff in both offices will be trained annually and with onboarding.

Finding 2025-002: Noncompliance with OMB Compliance Supplement; Period of Performance (H) for Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 93.958 Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services Criteria: The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Sections 200.308, 200.309, and 200.403(h) states “a non-Federal entity may charge only allowable costs incurred during the approved budget period of a federal award's period of performance and any costs incurred before the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity made the Federal award that were authorized by the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entities.” Costs incurred before or after the period of performance are unallowable unless explicitly approved. Condition: During our testing of expenditures charged to ALN 93.958, we identified 2 transactions out of a total sample of 15 totaling $192 that were incurred outside of the award’s period of performance. Corrective Action Plan: To ensure compliance and accurate reporting, we established internal control protocols for the formal review of service dates, verifying that all expenditures correspond to the appropriate period of performance. The Controller's signature on formal, documented month end checklists will serve as confirmation that all year-end invoices have been checked for appropriate period distribution.

2025-003 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Assistance Listing Number 21.027 Recommendation: We recommend procedures be strengthened to ensure that charges to the grant program are obligated and/or incurred within the period of performance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The City acknowledges the finding related to documentation supporting the period of performance for expenditures reported under the SLFRF revenue loss category. Because the City applied the standard allowance for revenue loss and did not track specific expenditures to the grant at the transaction level, some expenditures initially provided for testing were outside the period of performance, although sufficient eligible expenditures existed within the allowable period. To address this issue, the Finance Department will implement procedures to maintain supporting schedules identifying government service expenditures incurred within the applicable period of performance that support amounts reported under the revenue loss category. Finance will also implement a review process to verify that expenditures identified for compliance or audit testing meet applicable period of performance and obligation requirements. These procedures will strengthen documentation and ensure expenditures supporting SLFRF revenue loss are clearly identified and supported for compliance purposes. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Michael Tucker, Deputy Finance Director Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Implemented immediately and effective for all current and future federal awards.

Upon identification of the configuration error, the University corrected its National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) file submission settings to ensure enrollment status changes are properly processed and transmitted to NSLDS. The University has implemented a new monitoring control whereby an employee independent of the enrollment reporting function performs a review of NSLDS to verify that data submitted through NSC has been accurately and timely transmitted in accordance with required timeframes. This control is designed to provide timely detection of any future transmission failures and ensure corrective action is taken within the required reporting windows.

Federal program title: Community Development Block Grant – ALN 14.228 Condition: The County has procedures in place used for monitoring loan compliance. This involves sending an email to each HOME beneﬁciary asking for documents proving they are still a resident (utility bills, insurance documents, etc.) and mailing a physical Certiﬁcate of Occupancy for the resident to sign. However, there were two residents which have failed to return any of these documents or a response as of February 27, 2026 The initial inquiry occurred on January 29, 2025 and January 28, 2025 for both residents. Due to an empty employment position at the time of monitoring, the County has failed to perform a physical inspection despite being a procedure in the case of a non-response scenario with a resident. Recommendation: CLA recommends the County hires the staff necessary to ensure that all monitoring procedures are performed. Explanation of disagreement with audit ﬁnding: There is no disagreement with the audit ﬁnding. Action planned in response to ﬁnding: The letters mailed to loan recipients indicates that the County may do a physical inspection, and while hiring an employee to work the administration/monitoring of the CDBG loan portfolio would be ideal, there are not sufficient county funds to do so.

By the end of February 2026, all subaward invoices will be routed through the SPA Subaward Tracker, a new online workflow system that enables multiple users to submit, review, and approve invoices at any time. This platform streamlines routing,provides real-time visibility into invoice status, and reduces manual processing bottlenecks. These improvements are designed to support timely review and payment of subaward invoices and to help ensure compliance with the 30-day federal payment requirement.

Planned Corrective Action: Due to a transition between Finance Directors, there was an administrative oversight that resulted in the reserve funds not being fully consolidated into the designated reserve account by June 30, 2025. Additionally, the USDA Annual Borrower Certification process was completed later than usual (in July rather than by the end of May), delaying identification of the discrepancy. The Organization identified the discrepancy during the USDA Annual Borrower Certification process and completed the required transfer to fully fund the designated reserve account on July 17, 2025 prior to submission of the certification. The Organization has implemented and will maintain the following corrective actions: • Establishment of a dual review and approval process for reserve balances at fiscal year-end to ensure accuracy and compliance. • Formal assignment of reserve compliance responsibilities to designated finance personnel to ensure accountability. • Implementation of a process to monitor reserve balances monthly, with reconciliation to USDA requirements. • Submission of a request to USDA to ensure that Annual Borrower Certification notifications are sent to both the Executive Director and Finance Director to enhance oversight and accountability. Responsible Official: Patricia Calloway, Executive Director Planned Completion Date: Implemented as of July 17, 2025, with ongoing monitoring and control procedures in place for all future reporting periods. Status: The required reserve balance was fully funded in the designated account as of July 17, 2025 prior to submission of the USDA Borrower Certification.
