Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.033 Recommendation: We recommend the College review its FSEOG awarding procedures and strengthen controls to ensure accurate identification and prioritization of eligible students based on EFC. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: CGCC has reviewed its Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) awarding policy and will continue to ensure that FSEOG funds are awarded in accordance with federal guidelines. The discrepancy between the 2023–2024 award year and the current year was due to inaccurate Student Aid Index (SAI) data generated by a previous report. For the current year, the Financial Aid Office has identified and implemented a more accurate reporting tool, which has significantly improved the reliability of the SAI data used in awarding decisions. To further strengthen our internal controls and oversight, a new Financial Aid Director will be joining our team in June 2025. This leadership addition will enhance our ability to maintain compliance and ensure accurate, consistent awarding of FSEOG funds moving forward..

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.268, 84.063, 84.007, 84.033 Recommendation: We recommend the College strengthen its internal controls to ensure timely identification of students not meeting SAP standards. Additionally, the College should work with its system administrator to resolve the SAP calculation issue or implement an alternative method for tracking SAP compliance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: CGCC has completed a thorough review of its Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy to ensure alignment with the capabilities and limitations of our current system. We remain committed to resolving ongoing system-related issues and are actively keeping the policy and system functionality in sync as improvements are made. The issue regarding SAP not calculating correctly is still in progress. We have been working closely with Anthology to identify and implement long-term solutions. Unfortunately, the necessary fixes require significant time and manual intervention. Despite these challenges, we have made progress: as of Spring 2025, we are now able to accurately identify affected students—something that was not possible during the 2023–2024 award year. Additionally, we are in the process of hiring a Financial Aid Director. This added leadership and support will help us address the remaining issues more efficiently and continue making meaningful progress toward full resolution Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Denise Reid-Strachan Planned completion date for corrective action plan: 9/1/2025

Recommendation: We recommend the Organization strengthen its review procedures in the allocation of expenditures to ensure all program expenses are properly allocated when recording accrual entries. Plan: As part of the year end process, Centro CHA and the finance team will review all subsequent disbursements for federal programs to ensure that all costs are captured in the correct accounting period and classified correctly to the program when accrued. This will help ensure that each program is individually assessed for costs that should have been accrued in the current fiscal year rather than performing this process on just larger expenses without discretion to program source.

Major Federal Award Programs Audit Comments on the Finding and Recommendation We concur with the auditors finding as follows: On December 31, 2017, HUD had approved a loan to operations from the reserve for replacement of $40,239 to be repaid upon receipt of the past due subsidy. When the past due subsidy was received, the property was unable to repay the loan because of an unexpected increase in vacancies as a result of tenant turnover. As of December 31, 2024, management had not repaid $40,239 due to reserve for replacement Action(s) Taken or Planned on the Finding As of December 31, 2024, management has not repaid $40,239 due to reserve for replacement. Additionally, no deposits were made into the reserve for replacement. The owner and agent met with HUD on September 15, 2022 to discuss the loan repayment. It was determined that the loan payment would be deferred and absorbed into the budget-based increase submitted lo HUD and currently in review. This would cover the loan repayment that has been impossible to repay because the property has not operated efficiently since the Residual Receipt swipe of $241,000 in 2017. The finding is repeated as Finding No. 2024-001

The LEA funding that was budgeted and expended was consistent with expectations, as a worksheet was completed and submitted to the State for approval of the original allotment. The issued identified in the finding appears to relate specifically to the ARP IDEA funding an additional allocation provided to the district well after the FY23/24 IDEA award. At no point did the State require our district to revise the MOE or resubmit the worksheet, which is why a revised version was not submitted. The district continued to receive grant approval without the ARP IDEA portion included in the worksheet. This was not due to staff inexperience or lack of training, but rather the direct result of the State’s guidance and approval process. In fact, the District has received multiple commendations from the State for the effective management of the IDEA funds. Moving forward, if additional funding is allocated, we will proactively submit a revised worksheet, regardless of whether the State requests it, to ensure full compliance with audit requirements and all grant fund related funding is captured.
