FINDING 2025-003 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) - Earmarking Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Amy Silva Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-753-4230 amy.silva@sgibson.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The School Corporation has designated the Director of Special Education as the primary monitor responsible for overseeing nonpublic proportionate share expenditures. The Corporation Treasurer will provide the Director of Special Education and the Assistant Superintendent with a monthly budget-to-actual expenditure report for all active grants with nonpublic proportionate share requirements. This report will track the remaining unspent balance. The Director of Special Education will meet monthly with nonpublic school administrators to review the remaining fund balances, ensure services are being rendered, and project future expenditures. A final reconciliation will be performed within 30 days of each grant's end date to confirm all required funds were spent or a waiver was successfully obtained.

Finding 2025-014 U.S. Department of Treasury AL No. 21.027 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Material Weakness in Internal Controls and Noncompliance over Subrecipient Monitoring Repeat Finding: Yes; 2024-015 Auditee’s Corrective Action Plan: The Recovery Office will complete a review of all executed subgrant agreements to confirm that the correct Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) appear in the agreement. • This review will exclude Interagency Agreements with City agencies since they are not considered subrecipients, but as the prime recipient, the City of Baltimore. • This review will also exclude any agreements related to projects classified under Expenditure Category (EC) 6.1 in ARPA SLFRF guidance. According to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury, this EC does not give rise to a subrecipient relationship, therefore UEI information is not required. • For any subgrant agreements with an incorrect or missing UEI or FAIN, the Recovery Office will submit a single memorandum that presents correct UEIs and FAIN to the Board of Estimates (BOE) to ensure that the official record has correct UEI and FAIN information. We believe there is a direct conflict between Treasury guidance and 2 CFR 200 regarding the requirement for active SAM.gov registration. Treasury does not require subrecipients to maintain an active SAM.gov registration and instead permits the use of alternative screening questions in lieu of an active registration. Treasury does not collect individualized subrecipient data for subawards at or below $50,000. Each of these three awards are at or below that threshold, therefore the SAM.gov information, including the subrecipient UEI, registration, or the alternative screening questions, were not collected. The total amount of funding for the three identified subrecipients combined is $100,000. The Recovery Office will require that all subrecipients fully register in SAM.gov. The Recovery Office will require that agencies provide a 30-day window to allow all subrecipients to fully register or funds will be withheld until the subrecipient can fully register to demonstrate the organization is not suspended or debarred. In those cases where the Recovery Office is unable to withhold disbursements for noncompliant subrecipients, the Recovery Office will issue a Corrective Action Plan or issue a finding in the subrecipient's closeout letter. For any grants that expired, if payments occurred outside the period of performance, and did not have written justification for and approval of an extension to the allowable closeout period, the Recovery Office will require that the agency to take the agreement back to the Board of Estimates for a retroactive extension. In certain cases, such as when extended monitoring or implementation of corrective action items go beyond the period of performance, a payment may be made outside of the allowable closeout period. According to 2 CFR 200.344c, "The recipient must liquidate all financial obligations incurred under the Federal award no later than 120 calendar days after the conclusion of the period of performance. A subrecipient must liquidate all financial obligations incurred under a subaward no later than 90 calendar days after the conclusion of the period of performance of the subaward (or an earlier date as agreed upon by the pass-through entity and subrecipient). When justified, the Federal agency or pass-through entity may approve extensions for the recipient or subrecipient." In these cases, the Recovery Office will assure there is written justification for the extension on liquidating all financial obligations.

Finding 2025-018 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services AL No. 93.940 HIV Prevention Activities Health Department Based Programs Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls and Noncompliance over Subrecipient Monitoring Repeat Finding: Yes; 2024-028 Auditee’s Corrective Action Plan: In FY 2025 BCHD developed an internal subrecipient monitoring policy awaiting final approval from the department’s executive leadership. Due to the appointment of a new Health Commissioner and changes in leadership, the approval process within the department restarted. The following steps were completed in 2025. • Created Subrecipient vs. Contractor determination checklist required to be completed by staff when submitting contract request to Contracts and Compliance team. • Compliance team created and managed the comprehensive subrecipient monitoring tracker via Smartsheets, which houses SAM.gov verifications, subrecipients’ audit reports and final monitoring reports. • Developed fiscal and programmatic baseline monitoring tools based on 200 CFR standards. • Updated subrecipient contract agreement budget templates to include the Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) and subrecipient’s UEI. • BCHD’s Director of Contracts and Compliance began conducting meetings with program directors to discuss monitoring processes and clarify federal requirements. • Hired a Compliance Analyst. Specific activities BCHD plans on executing to remediate this finding in FY 2026 are as follows: • Retrain contract administrators to thoroughly review subrecipient budget templates to ensure both the FAIN and subrecipient’s UEI are included. If either one is missing from the template, the contract package will be returned to the staff who initiated the contract process and instruct to include those items or the contract process will not move forward. • During bi-weekly fiscal office hours remind staff of the requirement to include both the FAIN and UEI in all agreements. • Conduct separate workshops with division leaders and programs directors to review all grant awards and compliance requirements for each award. BCHD will utilize the GMO’s subrecipient monitoring templates provided on their centralized SharePoint platform which include risk assessments, reporting forms, expenditure forms, and metrics forms to ensure all required subrecipient monitoring reporting is completed. Additionally, BCHD will require all grant staff to attend GMO monthly trainings and quarterly grant monitoring meetings to ensure subrecipient monitoring is being conducted and completed. BCHD will also require all grant staff to familiarize themselves with Administrative Manual policy 413-51 Subrecipient Monitoring and Management, which specifies all city-wide requirements for subrecipient monitoring. BCHD will maintain copies of all subrecipient monitoring documents in Workday, the City’s financial system of record. Contact Person: Nkenge Williams, Director of Audits Completion Date: May 31, 2026

Finding 2025-013 U.S. Department of Labor AL No. 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Cluster Material Weakness in Internal Controls and Noncompliance over Subrecipient Monitoring Repeat Finding: No Auditee’s Corrective Action Plan: Notice of Award (NOA): To strengthen internal controls, MOED will establish separate grant worktags for all parts of the grant award to ensure the grant reference number is unique within the Workday award setup. UEI Subaward Validation: As a corrective action, Contracts Specialist training has been updated to require verification and documentation of the sub-recipient’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) through SAM.Gov as part of the subaward setup process. MOED will require grant staff to familiarize themselves with Administrative Manual policy 413- 21 Federal Grant Registration and Unique Entity Identifier, which requires UEI verification and identification in the City’s financial system of record for all subrecipients. Subrecipient Monitoring: MOED does maintain a standardized sub-recipient monitoring checklist designed to ensure subawards are administered in compliance with applicable federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward as well as relevant supporting documentation. FY2025 subrecipient monitoring was not scheduled in accordance with the monitoring timeframes outlined in the terms and conditions of the grant award. Management acknowledges this oversight and will ensure that all subrecipient monitoring is scheduled and conducted timely in accordance with the monitoring timeframes outlined in the award. Review of Subrecipient Single Audit Report: MOED performs a review of subrecipient Single Audit reports during the technical proposal evaluation and confirms the subrecipient’s inclusion on the State of Maryland’s Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). Due to document volume size, this documentation has not historically been included in BOE-approved subrecipient agreements or retained within Workday award files. As a corrective action, MOED will formally incorporate ETPL verification into subrecipient agreements. Single Audit reports will be retained separately from the BOE approval package and uploaded to the applicable Grant Award record in Workday to ensure consistent documentation and accessibility. MOED will utilize the GMO’s subrecipient monitoring templates provided on the centralized SharePoint Grants Management platform which include risk assessments, reporting forms, expenditure forms, and metrics forms to ensure all required subrecipient monitoring reports are completed. Additionally, MOED will require all grant staff to attend GMO monthly trainings and quarterly grant monitoring meetings to ensure subrecipient monitoring is being conducted and completed. MOED will also require all grant staff to familiarize themselves with Administrative Manual policy 413-51 Subrecipient Monitoring and Management, which specifies all City-wide requirements for subrecipient monitoring.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University review their awarding procedures and implement procedures to ensure the Stafford loans are awarded within the annual and aggregate limits. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: At the time the Subsidized Direct Loan was initially awarded, the student was classified as grade level one and was correctly awarded $3,500. Subsequently, the student’s grade level increased; however, the Direct Loan award was not adjusted accordingly. The Office of Financial Aid relies on email notifications to identify students with grade-level changes, and the notification for this student was inadvertently missed. In response to this error, the Office of Financial Aid implemented additional monitoring controls. A report was developed to identify all students with changes in grade level and is now generated and provided weekly by the Office of the Registrar to the Office of Financial Aid. A designated Financial Aid Advisor has been assigned responsibility for reviewing this report and adjusting Direct Loan awards as necessary to ensure accuracy. As an additional preventative measure, the Director of Financial Aid will verify student grade level and corresponding Direct Loan eligibility prior to disbursement. The Office of Financial Aid will also conduct periodic reviews to confirm that Direct Loan awards consistently and accurately align with students’ grade levels.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University implement a formal review process as it relates to withdrawn students to ensure R2T4 calculations are being performed accurately and timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The withdrawal dates applied in the Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculations were based on the dates students were administratively withdrawn by the Office of the Registrar. Upon identification of the audit finding, the Office of Financial Aid conducted a comprehensive review of the affected R2T4 calculations and made the necessary corrections. Any balances resulting from these errors were subsequently written off. Additionally, the Director of Financial Aid completed a full file review for the applicable award year to assess the accurate inclusion of scheduled break days. During this review, two additional students were identified whose R2T4 calculations did not include the appropriate number of break days. The calculations for these students were corrected, and the resulting balances were written off. No further errors were identified. As part of the corrective action, the Office of Financial Aid has hired an additional Financial Aid Advisor dedicated to the review and completion of R2T4 calculations. Furthermore, the Director of Financial Aid has implemented a secondary review process for all completed R2T4 calculations to ensure accuracy and compliance. The Office of Financial Aid has also reviewed the Financial Aid Handbook and applicable Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) related to R2T4 calculations to reinforce adherence to regulatory requirements.

Corrective Action Plan Finding Number: 2025-002 – Return of Title IV Funds Controls Finding: There is no evidence of a control in place by the College to review Return of Title IV Fund calculations. Corrective Action Planned Given the size of the Financial Aid Office, the College will implement compensating internal controls to ensure R2T4 calculations are accurate, timely, and compliant with federal regulations. Effective immediately, the College will implement the following controls: 1. Standardized R2T4 Processing All R2T4 calculations will be performed using the Department of Education Common Origination & Disbursement (COD) system to ensure consistent application of federal formulas. Official withdrawal dates will be confirmed using Registrar records prior to calculation. 2. Independent Post-Calculation Review Each R2T4 calculation will be reviewed by an individual other than the preparer, where feasible, or through supervisory review when staffing is limited. The review will confirm the accuracy of withdrawal dates, days attended, calculation inputs, and Title IV funds included. 3. Coordination and Reconciliation The Office of Financial Aid will coordinate with Student Accounts to ensure R2T4 results are applied correctly to the student account and that returned funds are processed within required timelines. 4. Documentation and Retention Evidence of review, including reviewer initials and date, will be retained for each R2T4 calculation. A simple R2T4 review checklist or log will be maintained. 5. Ongoing Oversight The Director of Financial Aid will conduct periodic spot checks to ensure R2T4 calculations and reviews are completed accurately and timely. Responsible Official: De Rodrick Jonkins, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: Implemented effective August 1, 2025 Additional Context The Director of Financial Aid assumed the role effective April 1, 2025, after prior corrective actions had been identified. While formal independent review controls were not documented during the audit period, there were no identified R2T4 compliance issues, late returns, or calculation errors. The corrective actions above are intended to formalize review processes and further reduce compliance risk.

Documentation and Retention Evidence of review, including reviewer initials and date, will be retained. A simple enrollment reporting review log will be maintained to document compliance. 4. Ongoing Oversight The Director of Financial Aid will conduct periodic spot checks to confirm controls are operating as intended.
