Corrective Action Plans

Information on the federal program: Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) – Period of Performance Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Programs: Special Education Grants to States, Special Education Preschool Grants Assistance Listing Numbers: 84.027, 84.027X, 84.173, 84.173X Federal Award Numbers and Years (or Other Identifying Numbers): 22611-047-PN01, 22611-047-ARP, 22619-047-PN01, 22619-047-ARP Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Period of Performance Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation to ensure compliance with requirements related to the Special Education Cluster program and Period of Performance compliance requirements. Context: During fiscal year 2023-24, the School Corporation was a member of Cooperative School Services (Cooperative). The Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of its member schools. As the grant agreement was between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. For Special Education Cluster awards, funds must be obligated during the 27 months, extending from July 1 of the fiscal year for which the funds were appropriated through September 30 of the second following fiscal year. When testing transactions occurred in the liquidation period for the 22611-047-PN01, 22611-047-ARP, 22619-047-PN01 and 22619-047-ARP grant awards, two exceptions were identified in the sample of five transactions. For the above listed awards, costs must be obligated by September 30, 2023. For the two identified exceptions, an initial purchase order was made in September, but the ultimate transaction was paid to a separate vendor than the original purchase order, and this obligation was incurred in November 2023. This issue was isolated to fiscal year 2024. No costs incurred outside of the period of performance were identified in fiscal year 2025. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management disagrees with part of the finding. The term “obligate” can be interpreted in various ways within our context. While we have a purchase order that was completed by September 30, we do agree that we changed vendors after September 30 and paid the non-public school directly. We agree with the finding that direct payment to a non-public school is not allowable. The purchase order is an internal written commitment to acquire the items/supplies, but it is not a binding written agreement to acquire “property” when we are purchasing supplies until it is provided to the vendor. The purchase order is authorization and approval to purchase the items/supplies. Once the purchase order is provided to the vendor, it is committed and is the binding written agreement. The invoice is an order to pay the obligation. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Corrective action plan has been implemented as this finding impacted fiscal year 2024 but did not recur in fiscal year 2025. Sarah Claton, Cooperative School Services director, and Tracy Albertson, Director of Finance, will oversee the corrective action plan to monitor the cooperative on an ongoing basis.

The City will establish procedures whereby the Clerk and Manager will prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) at each fiscal year end.

The City will review the requirements for written policies and will adopt policies, as needed, or will revise its current policies as needed to comply with Uniform Guidance.

Finding Reference: 2025-001 – Reporting Condition: During testing of reporting compliance for major federal programs, we selected three of twelve monthly OAF reports submitted during the fiscal year. For each month tested, reported amounts did not reconcile to MOFC’s internal Poundage Distribution reports and Product Code – Agencies by County reports. Specifically, we identified material variances between the OAF reports and internal distribution records, including: October 2024: ACP distributions were omitted from the OAF report, resulting in a variance of approximately 821,528 pounds (projected dollar impact of $262,889). January 2025: VA/Holiday Purchase distributions were omitted from the OAF report, resulting in a variance of approximately 310,898 pounds (projected dollar impact of $155,449). June 2025: Donated distributions, primarily Direct Retail Pickup (DRP) quantities, were omitted from the OAF report, resulting in a variance of approximately 933,505 pounds (projected dollar impact of $1,764,324). Additional differences were noted in purchased distributions of 40,399 pounds (projected dollar impact of $16,968). Although management provided explanations indicating that certain distributions were omitted in error or excluded due to differences in reporting scope, MOFC did not maintain documented reconciliations supporting the reported amounts. Evidence of review and approval demonstrating that differences were identified, investigated, and resolved prior to report submission was not provided. Views of Responsible Officials Items 1 & 2 are both failures of a report in our former ERP to include exception components and needed to be added manually when reporting. This is a result of human error. Item 3 is a result of a WIP component currently being installed into the new ERP to add in programmatic data for agency pickups. This is currently added manually for reporting purposes – also human error. Planned Corrective Action: Implementation of the Direct Retail Pickup poundage integrations into the current ERP will negate the necessity to manually enter the numbers. While this install is occurring, we will continue to manually update. Anticipated Completion Date: Initial discussions have occurred with an anticipated solution provided, tested and approved before the end of FY26 timeframe.

Planned Corrective Action: The new policy was discussed during the fiscal year for identifying federal awards. The written memo detailing the new policy was updated on September 30, 2025. This is the policy in place to be followed when preparing the schedule of expenditures of federal awards Contact Person: Name: Brianne Hoelschen Title: Controller Phone: (617) 209-5222 Email: bhoelschen@maloneyproperties.com Completion Date: September 30, 2025

Reporting Responses CSN – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; CSN Office of Grants and Contracts Post-Award Management has advised the grant’s principal investigator (PI) that underlying documentations must match the data reported on the Annual Performance Reports submitted to the award sponsor. The CSN GEAR UP PI and GEAR UP First Year College Advisor have refined the reporting and record keeping process to ensure accurate reporting and supporting documentation is kept in compliance with the grant. The Senior Accountant of Grants and Contracts also reviews the data before each report is submitted to the sponsor. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. CSN GEAR UP PI and GEAR UP First Year College Advisor will continue to ensure accurate reporting and supporting documentation is kept in compliance. CSN Office of Grants and Contracts Post-Award Management will continue to communicate with PIs to ensure all reports have been reviewed for adequate and accurate supporting documentation prior to submission to the sponsor. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. CSN Program Director, who is the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) Principal Investigator (PI), is accountable for exercising oversight and responsibility. GBC – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; o Establishment of a formal review and approval workflow requiring secondary review by the Grants Office of participants numbers prior to submission of any financial or performance report. This will require: (1) Identification of the reporting period; (2) Review of all source documents supporting reported totals; and, (3) Mathematical reconciliation of reported figures o Training provided to grant program staff and administrative personnel on documentation standards and reporting accuracy expectations. o All corrective actions were implemented immediately upon identification of the finding and will be fully in place within 30 days of notification. The revised procedures are now standard practice for all grants reporting participant numbers. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. o Reports may not be submitted to the pass-through entity without documented secondary review and written approval from the Grants Director or the Grant and Asset Coordinator. o Interim and final program reports will be reviewed to ensure: (1) Participant totals match underlying documentation; (2) Source documentation is retained and accessible; and, (3) Approval signatures are present prior to submission. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. o The Grants Director and the Director of Business Operations are responsible for oversight of grant compliance. NSU – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; NSU has reviewed the finding and has put additional measures in place to ensure compliance. Staff responsible for preparing reports were retrained and multi-layered quality checks have been implemented to safeguard integrity of data entered in shared databases. NSU’s multi-layered quality checks include written confirmations from staff involved in service activities and backup of documentation within NSU’s local storage to support the numbers being reported. The latter represents a move away from using a database that is accessible to multiple institutions to a centrally controlled location within NSU. This process outlined herein was implemented in August 2025 and ensures that the source documentation reconciles with reports and is available for auditing purposes. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. To ensure compliance, NSU staff who are responsible for the program and technical reporting have reviewed and updated internal policies and procedures relating to reporting. Performance targets and benchmarks have been reestablished and will be measured at set intervals. Any errors detected will be documented and remedied. Additionally, errors will serve as the basis for continuous improvement processes and retraining as needed. These will be documented in performance reviews. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. The NSU GEAR UP Principal Investigator and First-Year College Advisor Supervisor are responsible and accountable for ensuring reporting is supported by underlying records. TMCC – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; TMCC reports on the number of participants for all services rendered under the GEAR UP grant through both the Interim Progress Report (IPR) and the Final Progress Report (FPR). The identified issue concerns a discrepancy between the reported participant count on the IPR and the underlying supporting records. To ensure data accuracy going forward, TMCC will implement an additional review of participant reporting. Prior to the submission of progress reports, a second technical reviewer within the GEAR UP team would verify the participant counts entered into GEARS (GEAR UP’s designated data-reporting platform) against the supporting documentation (the attendance sheet). Should a discrepancy be identified, the GEAR UP team will follow up with the individual responsible for the data entry on GEARS to reconcile the difference. This may include requesting correction of data entry errors or obtaining additional documentation to support the reported participant count, as appropriate. Additionally, attendance sign-in sheets will be collected and retained by TMCC staff to allow for direct verification prior to reporting. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. Compliance and performance will be measured by the implementation of a second reviewer for the participant data reported through GEARS and included in the progress reporting. This review can be documented through an internal checklist, internal communication, or other appropriate records demonstrating that the participant data was reviewed and validated prior to the submission of progress reports. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. Primary responsibility for accurate participant reporting will remain with the TMCC First Year College Advisor (FYCA) or other designated staff responsible for preparing grant performance reports. Responsibility for completing the secondary verification review will be assigned to a designated GEAR UP technical reviewer or program staff member who is independent of the initial data entry and report preparation. If repeat or similar observations occur, program leadership will evaluate adherence to established procedures and implement additional corrective actions, which may include staff retraining, revision of internal procedures, or reassignment of reporting responsibilities, as appropriate. UNLV agrees with this finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; The UNLV OSP will continue to work with PIs to ensure there is a documented review of progress reports. PIs will be expected to demonstrate review of progress reports and provide supporting documentation for data. Additionally, if reports require financial expenditures, the Office of Sponsored Programs will require validation before submission. Communication dissemination will occur twice within the academic year. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. UNLV OSP will continue communications through Research Weekly (an internal communication newsletter) to remind PIs to ensure timely submission of progress reports and retention of records such as, lab notes, testing, populations served, activities performed, etc. to demonstrate activities supported by the grant. UNLV OSP will maintain communications with PIs to perform monitoring throughout the life of the award. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. The UNLV OSP Executive Director is accountable for exercising oversight and responsibility along with the applicable Deans. UNR – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; All participant counts reported in Interim Progress Reports will be supported by retained underlying source documentation that directly reconcile to the reported totals. Standard documentation expectations and retention requirements will be communicated to program staff. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. Compliance will be measured through pre-submission review of reported participant data against underlying records and through post-submission spot checks conducted by Program Director. Documentation supporting reported counts will be retained in the official project file and made available for future audit, management review, and internal monitoring. Evidence of reconciliation will be documented via checklists or certifications retained with the report. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. Program Director WNC – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; Sponsors have determined grant practices and required reporting documentation, which have not been consistently required or expected of subrecipients. WNC will maintain its own sign-in sheets and documentation for all grant-sponsored activities to ensure compliance with overall grant requirements. The corrective action was implemented in July 2025. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. The GEAR Up coordinator will create and maintain sign-in sheets or other documentation for every grant-sponsored activity. The coordinator will maintain records in accordance with federal and state guidance and will ensure that supporting documentation is sufficient to support the reported figures. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. Final responsibility and accountability fall on the GEAR Up coordinator and grant administrator. Official Contact: Rhett R.

FINDING 2025-002 Information on the federal program: Subject: Education Stabilization Fund – Internal Controls Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: COVID-19 – Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425U Federal Award Numbers: S425U210013 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions – Wage Rate Requirements Audit Finding: Material Weakness Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Special Tests and Provisions – Wage Rate Requirements compliance requirements. Context: The School Corporation had one project for a bus garage addition that which was funded with ESSER III (84.425U) grant awards. The School Corporation did not execute a formal contract with the vendor as the transaction was under the simplified acquisition threshold of $150,000. As such, there was no internal controls to communicate required prevailing wage rate requirements to the vendor prior to entering into the transaction. The School Corporation did obtain the weekly wage reports from the vendor. The total project cost disbursed during the audit period was $88,727, which included materials and labor. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. We did not have a formal contract for this project. It was below a threshold that we had used before that necessitated a formal contract. We now understand that we should have gotten a formal contract in place because this is federal funding. We used the quotes that were provided, and the school board approved the expenditures at a school board meeting. In the future, we will secure a formal contract for all federal funds. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Tara Bishop, Superintendent. Completed 3/1/24.

Finding 2025-007 Finding Summary: The OMB Supplement requires that reports submitted to the federal awarding agency include all activity of the reporting period, are supported by applicable accounting or performance records, and are fairly presented in accordance with governing requirements. The annual reported cumulative expenditures were overstated by $464,672, current period obligations were overstated by $3,059,105, and the current period expenditures were overstated by $610,505. Responsible Individuals: Richard Braithwaite, City Manager Corrective Action Plan: Management understands the importance of correcting this deficiency. Management is working on controls to establish a secondary reviewer requirement. All annual reports must be verified against source documentation (receipts, payroll registers, and contracts) by a staff member independent of the original data entry process prior to reports being submitted. Anticipated Completion Date: June 2026

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Compliance 2025-002 Special Tests and Provisions. Criteria The District is required to maintain records that support the removal of a student from the adjusted cohort, such as documentation to transfer to another diploma granting program, emigration, consistent with federal reporting requirements. Statement of Condition We identified instances in which the District had students removed from the adjusted cohort, but did not maintain sufficient written documentation to support the removal. Statement of Cause The District did not have adequate procedures to ensure that the documentation supporting adjusted cohort removals was obtained, reviewed, and retained. Possible Asserted Effect Without appropriate documentation supporting removal of students from the adjusted cohort, the District is unable to demonstrate compliance with federal record keeping requirements. Questioned Costs None noted. Context A sample of 25 students that had withdrawn was selected and 3 student files were not able to be provided. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation We recommend that a process be implemented to ensure appropriate written documentation is maintained for all student withdraws. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action To ensure compliance with this standard in the future, we have created a specific folder within our Student Information System for uploading and maintaining all withdrawal paperwork. All staff responsible for processing withdrawals have received instructions for this updated procedure via email and the guidance has also been added to the Secretary’s Manual.

Condition: The College did not send out the post-disbursement email notifications to a group of students. Planned Corrective Action: While the University has documented procedures in place for the disbursement of federal funds and required post-disbursement notifications to students, the finding identified related to only students who received both a Federal PLUS loan and a Federal Direct Loan during 2025. University did not properly send a post-disbursement notification to 117 out of 247 students who received both a federal PLUS loan as well as a Federal Direct Loan on a specific date during fiscal year 2024-2025. The University will adjust its internal processes to ensure all students who receive federal loans are sent post-disbursement email notifications by performing a review of the IT system and working toward fully automated notification settings to ensure all students are captured in the post-disbursement notification process. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Leah Alderink, Director of Student Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: Immediately

Finding 2025 – 001: Restatement to Fund Balance/Net Position Condition: During audit fieldwork, our testing resulted in a restatement of fund balance in order to correct retainage payable and capital assets that were improperly recorded in prior years. Plan: The City will implement effective internal controls in order to provide an accurate assessment of reporting requirements. This implementation of improved controls would result in the appropriate recognition for financial reporting requirements Anticipated Date of Completion: June 30, 2026 Name of Contact Person: Elizabeth Hannan, CFO/HR Director Management Response: Management acknowledges this comment and will work to implement and correct by the anticipated date of completion noted above.

Grant Accounting Finding 2025-006 Federal Agency Name: Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistance Listing Number: 14.267 Program Name: Continuum of Care Finding Summary: Catholic Charities did not have adequate internal controls in place to ensure that the administrative costs were appropriately billed as allowed under uniform guidance. Corrective Action Plan: CCSPM will adhere to uniform guidance specific to Administrative Expenses ensuring Administrative Expenses plus Indirect Expenses are no more than 10% of the total award over the grant period. Adherence will be monitored as part of an expanded monthly secondary review process across Continuum of Care grants. Responsible Individuals: Mary Ammer, Senior Director of Accounting and Finance and Grant Accountants: Jen Goeppinger and Ashley Feldick. Anticipated Completion Date: Adherence will be met by the end of the current grant period or end of FY26 (6.30.26), whichever is sooner for each currently active Continuum of Care grant.

FINDING 2025-002 Finding Subject: Title I - Annual Report Card Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Phyllis Ritenour Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 317-205-3332 x 77218 pritenour@msdwt.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We disagree with the finding. Explanation and Reasons for Disagreement: In a sample of 15 students, only 3 did not have the requested supporting documentation for removal from the Cohort. As discussed with the auditors, registrars are required to remove students who are no longer in attendance at our schools within two weeks. Students without 50% attendance cannot be included in ME counts and therefore may not remain in the Cohort. Registrars make multiple attempts to obtain the reason documentation from parents when students are no longer in attendance. However, the district does not have the authority to compel parents to provide the requested documentation. INDIANA STATE

Finding 2025-007: Reporting Material Weakness/Noncompliance Special Tests and Provisions Management agrees with this finding. The required owner certified annual financial report for the Section 202 Capital Advance Program was not submitted to HUD within 90 days of fiscal year end because year end financial records were not completed in time. To prevent this from happening again, management will establish a simple year end reporting calendar, assign responsibility to a designated staff member to track HUD deadlines, and work more closely with the fee accountant to ensure financial information is completed earlier and ready for timely submission. These procedures will be in place for the next fiscal year end reporting cycle.

Finding 2025-006: Replacement Reserves Material Weakness/Noncompliance LHA agrees with this finding. While monthly replacement reserve reconciliations were being completed and reviewed, the review focused on making sure the ending balance matched and did not include a detailed review of the activity in the account. Because of this, multiple deposits were made in some months without being noticed. One replacement reserve payment was also mistakenly deposited into another program’s replacement reserve account. Although the fee accountant properly recorded this as money due back to Eastlawn East, staff did not identify that the funds had not yet been returned as of June 30, 2025. In addition, we were unable to locate documentation showing HUD approval for a $13,329.48 replacement reserve withdrawal. We understand that HUD approval is required for all withdrawals and that documentation should be maintained. To address this issue and prevent it from happening again we are updating procedures as follows Replacement Reserves: A spreadsheet is being made for each month for each account. LHA will keep track of the date each deposit for the Eastlawn and Eastlawn East Accounts are made and verify by a second party (one that does not do the deposit) that they are being placed in the correct account. Management will perform an additional review of replacement reserve activity each month. We are working with the other program to ensure the misapplied funds are returned to Eastlawn East. We will contact HUD to determine the appropriate next steps regarding the withdrawal without approval documentation and will ensure all future approvals are properly retained.

Condition: The City failed to file their CAPER within the 90 day reporting window. Planned Corrective Action: The City will ensure that all future reporting requirements under this program are met, including reporting deadlines. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Monique Guerrero Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Condition: The City did not accurately prepare a SEFA that included all federal expenditures in fiscal year 2025, which resulted in a difference of approximately $7.6 million. Planned Corrective Action: The City will ensure that all future expenditures of federal awards are included on the SEFA by assigned staff to prepare and review the SEFA and track the amounts throughout the year. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Lisa Griggs Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Condition: The City applied the same expenses to pass-through and direct funded awards, which resulted in reported quarterly reports and SEFA expenditures including approximately $2.7 million of expenditures that were being double counted. Planned Corrective Action: The City will ensure that all future expenses under this program are in compliance and under ARPA guidelines. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Lisa Griggs Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Condition: The City initially reported $30,000 of expenditures on the SEFA that related to activity not related to fiscal year 2025. Planned Corrective Action: The City will ensure that all future expenses under this program are in compliance with CDBG guidelines.
