Finding 2025-001 - Material Weakness - Borrowings from Endowment Fund Condition Found: The College has borrowed from its endowment funds for campus renovations and to cover certain operating expenses of the College prior to and immediately following its accreditation and approval to participate in federal student financial aid programs. As such, the fair value of assets associated with the donor-restricted endowment funds has fallen below the level that the donor or UPMIFA requires the College to retain as a fund of perpetual duration. Corrective Action Plan: Antioch College obtained guidance from legal counsel regarding the appropriateness of borrowing from the endowment fund under Ohio UPMIFA. Borrowing from the endowment fund by Antioch College was approved by order of Judge Robert Hagler of the Probate Division of the Court of Common Pleas of Greene County, Ohio, in 2013, and Judge Hagler declared in the order the endowment loans “are prudent ‘investment decisions’ pursuant to Ohio Revised Code §1715.52.” [Antioch College Corporation, et al. vs. Antioch University, et al., Greene C.P. No. 10938MIS (Feb. 14, 2013)]. March 6, 2020 forensic audit of the endowment by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, noted Antioch College has appropriately accounted for endowment transaction. Antioch College has developed long-term plans for maintaining and sustaining its financial stability through key strategies outlined in the board-approved Social Enterprise and Enrollment (SEE) Plan:  Investing in advancement capacity for increased revenue across all areas including annual giving, major gifts, grant income, and events  Identifying a core college footprint and reducing ongoing facilities expenses through building sale, investment, and/or long-term leasing, considering our needs today and in the future  Adjusting financial aid packages and increasing student-derived revenue  Investing in increasing admissions of new and varied students (UG, transfer, incarcerated, adult, visiting) from all religions, races, ethnicities, political ideologies, abilities, genders, gender expressions, sexualities, languages, countries of origin, nationalities, and retention of current students resulting in higher overall enrollment numbers  Adopting and implementing interdisciplinary curriculum pathways and generating these developments as noteworthy through strategic communications and highlighting our world-class faculty  Supporting learning hubs to sustain the cost of their operations through earned and philanthropic revenues, alongside contributing to college overhead  Working towards a sustainable cost structure and business model that keeps us from borrowing from restricted sources, strengthens our financial position, and enables us to begin repaying our endowment over time  Exploring, but not relying on, potential game changers, including the Federal Work College model, transfer pathways, prison education, and community-based learning Office of the President One Morgan Place Yellow Springs, OH 45387 Antioch College is seeing success with the SEE Plan. In 2024, Antioch College was designated a Federal Work College. Advancement continues to meet and exceed revenue goals, including the 2025 End of Year Campaign. Antioch College continues to reduce expenses by “right sizing” both campus footprint and staff, including the prior sale of the old Student Union and pending property sales in fiscal year 2026. Investments in enrollment are succeeding as demonstrated by the record (post 2011 reopening) Winter-term enrollment achieved in January 2026. As Antioch College continues to improve long-term financial stability, in December 2025, its Board of Trustees has established an Endowment Repayment Plan Working Group. The Endowment Repayment Plan Working Group is tasked with assessing and considering options for repayment of borrowed endowment funds, and then reporting back to the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Implementation: Board of Trustees

The Department agrees to strengthen its internal controls over Medicaid eligibility to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. Colorado will continue its approved Centers for Medicare and Medicaid mitigation plan to ensure that eligibility is determined on an individual rather than a household basis. The Department will continue to conduct ex parte reviews to determine eligibility for all household members based on available information. Those members identified as eligible at ex parte will be approved, regardless if others in the household continue to need verifications or are no longer eligible. The Department is currently working on a permanent system change for CBMS that will only send out renewal forms for individuals not eligible through the ex parte process, with implementation by December 2026.

USDA Community Facilities Loan Reserve Accounts Planned Corrective Action: Since the USDA loans were settled on December 10, 2020, Presbyterian College has held the required restricted reserves within its investment accounts. The College has confirmed with its USDA loan representative that a fully funded reserve is equal to the total annual payment for each loan. At all times, sufficient assets were maintained to meet the required reserve levels; however, the accounts were not separately titled or formally documented in accordance with the specific administrative requirements of the loan agreements. As soon as is practical, and following guidance regarding timing, the College will work with its investment advisors to make the administrative change to transfer the required balances into separately titled accounts designated “USDA Reserve Account.” The clear account description will ensure proper segregation and documentation of required reserves and prevent these funds from being commingled with other institutional funds in the future. In addition, the Finance Office will document reserve calculations and maintain supporting documentation to ensure ongoing compliance with USDA reserve requirements. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Elizabeth Oswald-Sease, Vice President of Finance and Administration and Elizabeth Shull, Controller Anticipated Date of Completion: As soon as is practical, but no later than July 1, 2026

Corrective Action Plan Thursday, February 12, 2026 Harrisburg Area Community College respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025. The findings from the June 30, 2025 audit report dated February 13, 2026 schedule of findings and questioned cost are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Agency: (Federal Agency per Finding): U.S. Department of Education Audit Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Name and Address of independent public accounting firm: Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC, Certified Public Accountants & Consultants, 804 Wayne Avenue, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania 17201 Finding Type: (per Finding) Federal Awards: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance Internal Control Type: (please choose the type per the finding)  Material Weakness(es) o Significant Deficiencies Audit Finding No.: 2025-001 Federal Program: (per Finding) Student Financial Assistance Cluster Compliance Requirement: (per Finding) Return of Title IV Funds Audit Finding Title/Statement of Condition: (copy from audit findings documentation): The College did not comply with federal requirements related to the timely return of Title IV funds. Specifically, the College failed to return aid for four students who never attended within the 30-day period required under 34 CFR 668.21(b). In addition, the College did not return funds for one student who began attendance but subsequently required a refund within the 45-day timeframe mandated under 34 CFR 668.173(b). Auditor Recommendation: (copy from audit findings documentation) The College should strengthen its internal controls and monitoring procedures to ensure compliance with federal return-of-funds requirements. This should include timely verification that calculated refund amounts match what is actually returned, improved review processes to confirm that students who never attended are identified promptly, and training for relevant staff to ensure consistent understanding and execution of federal aid return requirements. Specific steps to be taken to correct the situation [including a timetable for performance of the CAP] or reason why corrective action is not necessary (including disagreement with the finding). The College has made several enhancements that should prevent future problems with the return of funds. 1) In fall 2025, the College instituted a new process for collecting data for attendance/participation of students. This process includes a data collection approximately one week into the part of term (the “Academic Participation Data Collection) – and before the disbursement of Title IV aid. It also includes follow up with faculty at several intervals throughout the semester to encourage them to withdraw students who have stopped attending. This improved process gives us clearer and more transparent data on attendance/participation so that aid recalculations and returns can be managed in a more timely manner 2) As of January 2025, the College has implemented a process to prevent the disbursement of Title IV (TIV) aid to students who are not enrolled in a future semester or are not considered actively attending. For example, if a student attended the Fall semester but is not enrolled for the Spring semester, Title IV funds cannot be disbursed if the aid was not originated before the student became ineligible. This process applies in both directions, as disbursement includes both paying funds to a student’s account and reversing funds when appropriate. Accordingly, the Previous Semester Fund Request process is designed to ensure that Title IV funds are either paid or reversed in compliance with federal requirements. 3) The Financial Aid team will continue processing returns at the time that an R2T4 occurs to prevent miscommunications and ensure timely completion. 4) The Financial Aid team and Finance teams will collaborate and engage Bank Mobile to improve the processing of stale checks and timed out funds. Anticipated Completion Date: May 1, 2026 Name(s) and Title(s) of contact person(s) responsible for correction action: Tim Barshinger, Associate Vice-president of Student Enrollment Services Juan Cordoba, Financial Aid Director

FINDING 2025-003 – Reporting Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Instance of Material Noncompliance Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment. To address this issue, management has reinforced and formalized its reporting reconciliation controls. All financial and performance reports submitted for WIOA programs will be reconciled to supporting documentation prior to submission. Management has clarified roles and responsibilities to ensure that report preparation and review are performed by separate individuals. All reports required by contract must be submitted timely and must include two levels of documented review. Reports will be reviewed by the preparer’s Director (or their designee); if the Director is the preparer, the review will be conducted by the Chief Operating Officer or in their absence, the Chief Executive Officer. All financial reports required by contract must have documented review by a member of the fiscal department. Supporting documentation related to report reconciliations will be retained to ensure traceability and availability for review. During the year, the department experienced a leadership transition, and the new Director is receiving additional training on reporting requirements and internal control expectations. Management will also provide periodic training to staff involved in report preparation and review to reinforce control requirements and expectations. Management expects significant improvement for the fiscal year ending in 2026. Contact Persons: Ryan Berendsen, Chief Operating Officer Delana Kromer, Controller

Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending ‐ Construction – Assistance Listing No. 93.493 Recommendation: We recommend that the Association implement policies and procedures to ensure the performance of subrecipient monitoring and that the monitoring is formally documented and approved. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: OARN's current monitoring of Subrecipients has included reviewing budgets and progress reports, approving vendors, and processing drawdown requests to confirm the appropriate use of subaward funds in compliance with Federal regulations and subaward terms. However, OARN recognizes the need for a more comprehensive review process to ensure full subrecipient compliance. Therefore, we plan to request audits or financial reviews from all subrecipients. We will also require documentation demonstrating that the subrecipient has taken prompt and necessary corrective action in response to any deficiencies identified through audits, on-site reviews, or other methods related to the Federal program. OARN has created and will maintain a Subrecipient Monitoring and Approval Form that tracks receipt and review of 1) audit reports and corrective actions along with 2) checks on SAM.gov to confirm the subrecipient's continued eligibility for federal funds.

2024-014 SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS - HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES (DOHS) Assistance Listing Number: 93.575/93.596 The Quality Assurance specialists have established a plan of action for each Regulation Unit (Child Care Licensing Unit and Family Child Care Unit) to maintain continual monitoring of conducted Annual Unannounced Monitoring Visits required under 45 CFR §98.42(b)(2)(i)(B). Within the tracking spreadsheet, detailed information is input from our documentation system PATH COGNOS Report PCC-PLI 1080. Information includes Provider Name, Provider Number, Provider Type, Specialist Name, and columns for visits conducted and visits not yet conducted. To provide an overall year-to-date calculation of monthly totals/percentages, a Yearly Summary tab is included in the spreadsheet for a quick reference analysis to provide an additional method of tracking visits. As the monthly totals and percentages change, the data updates on the monthly tabs and the Yearly Summary tab. Program Managers have implemented individual efforts to track visits conducted by specialists. The PCC-PLI 1080 report is distributed twice per month by PM II to each Program Manager for review. Specialists have been instructed to include completed annual unannounced monitoring visits on monthly report data, which can then be compared with the PCC-PLI-1080 reports. Additionally, a tracking system has been implemented that requires specialists to pre-plan annual unannounced visits for the 2026 calendar year to ensure visits are completed.

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

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.

2025-005 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.

The Finance Director has an accounting degree, a master's in business administration (MBA), and is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with over 30 years' accounting and management experience.
