Corrective Action Plans

Finding 2025-003: Period of Performance – Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and compliance finding. Management Response The agency has added another level of review for Requests for Reimbursement (RFRs) to improve internal controls. Effective 10.01.2025, grant expense charges are processed as follows: 1. Finance Assistant creates grant Request for Reimbursement (RFR). Upon completion of the RFR, theAssistant signs the RFR as completed, then submits completed RFR along with supportingdocumentation to the EVP of Finance. Formerly, the creation of the RFR was being done by the EVP of Finance, with the addition of staff, we were able to relocate those duties to Finance Assistance in the Fall of 2025. 2. The EVP of Finance reviews the RFR for correct calculations and if the appropriate supportingdocumentation is attached. The EVP of Finance signs the RFR, then presents it to the ChiefOperating Officer for final approval. 3. Chief Operating Officer receives RFR from EVP of Finance, reviews RFR and approves for submissionto the Grantor or sends back for corrections. Adding a staff member in the Finance department allowed us to add another level of approval. In addition, notations have been made on all internal grant tracking documents, as to the start of each grant period. A payroll pay calendar is accessible to verify the exact dates covered on a pay period.

The Organization filed the required reports in 2026.

As required by the OMB Uniform Guidance, we have provided our response and corrective action plan addressing the finding in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for the year ended August 31, 2025. Finding 2025-001: Allowable Costs – Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance and Instance of Noncompliance Management’s Views – Management agrees with the finding. LAJH acknowledges that payroll reimbursement calculations submitted under the federal program were prepared using subsequent employee pay rates rather than the contemporaneous pay rates applicable during the grant performance period and that certain duplicative expenditures were included in error. Management recognizes that these errors resulted in overstated costs totaling $79,825. Corrective Action Plan – LAJH will implement enhanced internal control procedures over the preparation and review of payroll costs charged to federal awards. Specifically, management will require all payroll reimbursement calculations to be supported by contemporaneous payroll registers and employee pay rate documentation applicable to the period during which services were performed. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Robin Ray, Corporate Controller Anticipated Completion Date: May 31, 2026

Finding 2025-002 Federal Agency Name: Department of the Health and Human Services Program Name: Rural Healthcare Services Program Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.912 Compliance Requirement: Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles and Period of Performance Finding Summary: BHD, LLC did not retain documentation of the review and approval of all direct expenditures allocated to the program. Responsible Individuals: Valarie Howard, CFO Corrective Action Plan: We have begun generating a report each pay period identifying any timecards that remain unapproved at the processing deadline. Payroll will proactively follow up with the responsible managers to obtain approval for any outstanding timecards identified in the report. Payroll will disburse a document to the responsible managers who must document why the approval was not made by the payroll deadline and that they approve the time that was presented on the timecard and paid out. Anticipated Completion Date: Action plan has been implemented immediately after finding was communicated to management (May 2026).

Period of Performance 2025-002 Plan: The University reinforced the existing procedures related to awards subject to modified or shortened periods of performance, including additional oversight of expenditures charged near revised award end dates. Post-Award monitoring and controls related to award end-date management and expenditure allowability will continue to be evaluated and strengthened, as appropriate. Expected Implementation Date: 07/01/2026 Contact: LaShawnda V. Hall Assistant Vice President for Research Financial Operations Accounting Services for Research Sponsored Projects (ASRSP) Northwestern University 1800 Sherman Ave, Suite 6-6000 Evanston, IL 60201 lashawnda.hall@northwestern.edu Phone: 847.491.4716

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE Hockinson School District No.98 September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025 This schedule presents the corrective action the District is planning to take for findings included in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2025-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls and did not comply with time-and-effort and period of performance requirements. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Aaron Villanueva, Director of Business Services 17912 NE 159th Street Brush Prairie, WA 98606 (360) 448-6413 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: Time and Effort - To enhance compliance with Federal IDEA grant requirements, the district is refining its procedures for Annual and Semi-Annual Certifications. At the commencement of the school year, the district will proactively assign eligible Special Education personnel to this grant to ensure all necessary attestations are executed and submitted in a timely manner. In the event of projected expenditures exceeding the federal allocation, personnel costs associated with the overage will be reallocated to the State Special Education Program (2100). Furthermore, the District remains committed to utilizing the tools and best practices provided by the State Auditor’s Office following the 2024–2025 audit to ensure ongoing regulatory alignment. Period of Performance - Historically, the district’s award date for this specific grant has not been restricted in the period of performance to the narrow window suggested. For example: 2023–2024 fiscal year, Grant Award Date March 6, Period of Performance July 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024, allowing the district to claim expenditures for the full cycle. 2025–2026 fiscal year, Grant Award Date November 13th, Period of Performance July 3, 2025, through August 31, 2026, allowing the district to claim expenditures for the full cycle. To prevent future discrepancies, the district has implemented a secondary verification process to cross-reference all Grant Award Notifications (GAN). We will strictly document the specific period of performance dates identified in each award to ensure total alignment with state and federal expectations. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: Effective Immediately

The BGCNEO accounting staff will closely review expenditures to ensure costs were incurred within the applicable grant period, regardless of when the expenditure was paid.

Finding #2025-003 – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal programs: U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, Direct Federal Funding, Cooperative Agreement to Support Navigators in Federally-facilitated Exchanges, Assistance Listing #93.332, Contract # NAVCA240482-01-00, Contract year: 08/27/24 – 08/26/25. U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, Direct Federal Funding, Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program, Assistance Listing #93.092, Contract #90AK0075-03-03, Contract year: 09/30/23 – 09/29/25. Condition and context: During our testing of payroll, non-payroll and indirect cost pool transactions, we identified the following exceptions: Controls over allowable cost and other non-compliance: AL #93.092 Affordable Care Act (ACA) Personal Responsibility Education Program. In a sample of 40 non-payroll transactions tested for internal controls and compliance for allowable cost we found one instance of an annual subscription for the term ending May 2026 charged to a grant which ended September 29, 2025 resulting in eight months, or approximately $1,200, charged outside the period of performance. Partial repeat of finding #2024-004. Controls over period of performance and other non-compliance: AL #93.332 Cooperative Agreement to Support Navigators in Federally-facilitated Exchanges. In a period-of-performance sample of 18 vendor transactions with grant charges close to grant beginning or ending dates during the audit period, we found 3 instances or $1,003 of vendor costs charged outside the grant period of performance. Additionally, testing of payroll charged at the end of the grant period revealed that approximately $6,693 was charged outside the period of performance. Recommendation: Emphasize adherence to established policies and procedures to ensure maintenance and review of payroll spreadsheets and general ledger coding for all transactions. Planned corrective action: Management has implemented strengthened procedures related to payroll allocations, grant coding, allowable costs review, and monitoring of grant periods of performance. Corrective actions include: 1) Enhanced review procedures to ensure expenditures are charged to the appropriate funding source and grant period. 2) Review of payroll allocations against approved grant budgets and supporting time and effort certifications where applicable. 3) Monthly review meetings between finance personnel and program leadership to review coding accuracy, budget status, payroll allocations, and grant compliance requirements. 4) Additional staff training related to Uniform Guidance cost principles, allowable costs, grant periods of performance, and GAAP financial reporting requirements. 5) Improved grant expenditure tracking and monitoring procedures to identify coding errors or compliance concerns timely. 6) Strengthened documentation retention procedures to ensure expenditures are properly supported and audit ready. Responsible officer: Anita Bates, Chief Executive Officer. Estimated completion date: Implementation is underway with continued monitoring and expected to be fully operational by August 31, 2026.

Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research (ALN 93.847) Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization reviews the dates of costs incurred before charging costs to their Federal award and that evidence of this review is retained. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management has implemented procedure enhancements to its review and processing of grant-related costs to better detect and prevent costs being charged outside of the period of performance. Including: the period charged for costs is based on expected receipt date of the goods or services being charged; a threestep/tiered review process of costs to be charged prior to the processing of such costs; a periodic review of the periods in which costs were charged for proper period alignment. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Mahtab Khan Planned completion date for corrective action plan: May 2026

Condition: The Organization was reimbursed $22,968 under the grant award for amounts incurred subsequent to the performance year of the grant. The control in place to review expenditures was not effective in identifying expenditures that were outside the grant period. Planned Corrective Action: The Organization will implement enhanced review procedures of federal expenditures sought for reimbursement to better align with the underlying accounting treatment. Contact person responsible for corrective action: David Anderson Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2026

Management will look to strengthen this control by improving the way they track and submit expenditures related to federal grant expenditures.

Management will include as part of the approval of invoices, a process of follow-up with vendors near the end of the fiscal year to make sure all outstanding invoices or an estimate of costs incurred to date are received. If this is not feasible, management will estimate the unbilled costs at year end using vendor information.

Management will conduct a comprehensive review of existing processes and internal controls related to eligibility determination and documentation to ensure alignment with federal requirements. As part of this effort, management will evaluate the timing and sequencing of required signatures to better reflect operational realities while maintaining compliance.

FINDING 2025-013 Name of Responsible Individual: Assistant Vice President for Pre-Award Corrective Action: Federal awards require that all publications resulting from federal grant support, including conference presentations, promotional materials, agendas, and internet sites, include an acknowledgment of federal support and a disclaimer that the contents reflect the authors' responsibility and not that of the sponsoring agency. As this is a repeat finding, the University has undertaken a comprehensive, multi-pronged corrective strategy to ensure sustained compliance going forward. Responsibility for publication acknowledgment and disclaimer compliance now resides with the Sponsored Programs Office (SPO) Pre-Award, in collaboration with the University Library. Key actions completed to date include: a formal Standard Operating Procedure finalized and approved in November 2025; mandatory publication compliance training with a required 80% passing score, serving as a prerequisite for new award setup effective November 2025; a Principal Investigator (PI) Acceptance Memo requiring signature within five business days of each award kickoff meeting to reinforce PI awareness of publication responsibilities; quarterly compliance communications issued to all federally funded PIs; and a dedicated publication compliance category added to the OOR ticketing system to streamline intake and support documentation. During Award Kickoff Meetings, acknowledgment and disclaimer requirements specific to each award are reviewed directly with the PI. SPO Pre-Award and the University Library conduct ongoing reviews of federally funded publications using available bibliometric tools, with periodic spot checks. PIs who do not meet training requirements are subject to a hold on proposal submissions until compliance is verified. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

FINDING 2025-010 Names of Responsible Individuals: Associate Director for Compliance, Enrollment Management Associate Director of Loans Systems Analyst, Enrollment Management Assistant Director for Compliance, Financial Aid Loan Coordinator Corrective Action: Beginning with the Fall 2024 semester, Howard University transitioned from using Banner to using Workday as the University’s ERP. As part of the transition to Workday, Howard spent several years configuring Workday to meet the needs of the institution and testing to ensure once the University went “live” during Fall 2024 there would be no configuration issues that affect compliance. It is not possible for Financial Aid to fully test the COD disbursement reporting process prior to "go live" due to the inability to send test disbursement files to COD for reporting purposes. Once Howard disbursed loans and was able to send actual disbursement files to COD, the Enrollment Management Systems Analyst worked to identify and resolve outstanding issues. Initial reporting of disbursements to COD began on August 6, 2025. When the first disbursement file was sent to COD, the EM Systems Analyst identified the file schema sending out disbursements from Workday to COD kept rejecting the entire file. The Systems Analyst worked with the University Workday consultants to resolve the rejections and was able to correct the issue on August 28th. The cause of the rejected files between Workday and COD was an underlying Workday system issue that was corrected an updated released by Workday. There were issues in Workday regarding the school code that were identified which delayed a small cohort of students’ disbursements from being reported to COD. The Howard University enrollment school code is 00144800 and NSC required a “dummy” school code to be used for enrollment reporting of Graduate and Professional students. This “dummy” code was 00144880. A small cohort of students had loans that were rejected due to Workday reporting the 00144880 school code to COD instead of the 00144800 school code. Reconciliation identified the students and once the enrollment code sent to COD was corrected in Workday, the loan was accepted. The cost of attendance variance was a result of unfamiliarity with the Workday system. After a student's aid has been originated and disbursed, Workday will not automatically send the disbursement file back out to COD, which was not an issue Howard encountered when using Ellucian Banner. In Workday, when a student’s cost of attendance changes due to cost of attendance increase or the student’s housing status must be adjusted, there is manual intervention required. Students who have a change to their cost of attendance need to have a flag checked off in the origination record. This will allow the updated cost of attendance to be reported in COD when the next disbursement file is sent to COD. The current process is when a student's cost of attendance is manually adjusted, the flag for the record to be sent to COD is checked off in the origination record. The Associate Director for Compliance has completed internal compliance reviews testing whether disbursements are being sent to COD within 14 days. Thus far, no issues have been found in these reviews. Files are transmitted to COD at least four times per week and rejected disbursements are worked to meet the 14-day disbursement reporting timeline. A compliance review has been initiated to ensure the cost of attendance reported out of Workday matches the cost of attendance in COD. Howard University staff meet daily with Workday consultants from AVAAP to provide feedback and discuss any current issues experienced in Workday. The goal of these meetings is to have a constant flow of information on what is working effectively and what is not working effectively within Workday. This process is documented and staff are trained. Anticipated Completion Date: The underlying Workday system issue resulting in the COD disbursement file being rejected was internally resolved on August 28, 2024. The Fall 2024 update released by Workday in late-September/October 2024 corrected the system from the Workday side. The Systems Analyst receives an error when there is a rejected COD file, and the correction of these files is an ongoing process. Howard staff worked with the University’s Workday consultant to resolve the incorrect school code reported to COD, causing individual students’ disbursements to be rejected. This incorrect school code reported to COD was resolved for the 2025-2026 academic year by changing the configuration of disbursements to ignore any school codes other than 00144800. The Associate Director for Compliance sends a list of rejected loan disbursements to the Financial Aid Loans Team so these rejects can be worked on and resolved in 5-7 business days. The cost of attendance variance was identified in Fall 2025 and the change in the process when a student has a manual cost of attendance increase was implemented at that time as well. The compliance reviews for cost of attendance and COD reporting will take place twice per semester and any issues identified will be resolved to avoid future findings.

In response to the Auditor’s recommendations, the Municipality will establish formal procedures to ensure that all required forms, including Form 90-91, are properly completed, maintained, and submitted in accordance with applicable grant requirements. Additionally, all supporting documentation related to the period of performance for each project will be identified, organized, and maintained, including approved project worksheets, grant award documentation, and related financial records. Furthermore, monitoring mechanisms and periodic reviews will be implemented to ensure ongoing compliance with applicable requirements and the timely availability of required documentation for audit and monitoring purposes.

We agree with the finding and we will be reviewing and implementing the recommendations accordingly. We are committed to ensuring no duplication of costs across reporting periods and compliance with allocability requirements under Uniform Guidance on a prospective basis. This corrective action plan will be implemented by June 30, 2026.

The YWCA has implemented (January 2025) the following changes in its accounting procedures. 1. The Staff Accountant will review the period each expenditure is related to and record the invoice to the appropriate period when entering it into accounts payable. The month and year will be noted on the invoice. 2. The CFO will review the month, and year noted by the Staff Accountant prior to entry into accounts payable.

2025-00I Condition: The center did not maintain adequate documentation to support compliance with Federal requirements related to allowable costs, period of performance, and procurement standards. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend The Center review and revise its documentation policies and procedures to ensure that compliance is met with regards to federal awards. Management response: Management agrees with the finding and has collaborated with grant personnel to implement standardized personnel activity reporting and cost allocation documentation for all federal grants. The Center will strengthen controls to ensure that only allowable costs incurred within the approved grant period are charged to federal awards. In addition, procurement procedures have been revised to ensure compliance with 2 CFR §§ 200.317-200.327. Corrective actions have been implemented or are in progress and apply to all federal awards moving forward beginning in FY2026.

Finding 2025-002 – Significant Deficiency AL Nos: 20.507 and 20.526, 20.205 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration, Federal Transit Cluster - Direct Award Compliance Requirement: Other Compliance Requirements Award Nos: All awards under Assistance Listing (AL) Numbers 20.507, 20.526, and 20.205 Condition: Several changes were made to the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) after the single audit began, including: - The periods of performance had to be updated on several grants. - Missing criteria, such as the award date, had to be added for new grants. - The assistance listing number was corrected for two grants. - A grant amount immaterial to the major program was removed from the SEFA after the single audit began. - Adjustments were made to the SEFA after the audit began to claim current year expenses for disallowed 2024 costs to fully implement the recommendation made in the 2024 single audit. - Qualified expenses were shifted between eligible routes for one grant on the SEFA. Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart E (Uniform Guidance) Section 200.303 states that “The nonfederal entity must: (a) Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award.” Cause: Grant management procedures are not documented, a complete schedule of all available grants to use when reconciling expenses for inclusion on the SEFA and accruing grant revenue was a work in progress and not all necessary changes were identified by the District’s review procedures. Effect: Expenses were omitted from the SEFA and other expenses were included on the SEFA that were already reported in the prior year. The SEFA had to be revised, which delayed the audit testing and major program determination process. Context: The number of grants has increased since the pandemic due to new pandemic related grants becoming available that delayed the use of the District’s regular federal grants. This caused grants to be combined by grantors with different allowable expenses, areas of service, and periods of performance and caused grants to be extended, causing significant complexity. The dollar amount of auditor changes made to the SEFA were immaterial and the SEFA was not relied upon by the District to ensure compliance with compliance requirements so the changes to the SEFA did not result in noncompliance with other compliance requirements. The District staff made a significant effort to bill all qualifying expenses during the audit, which will help reduce the complexity of remaining grants in future years. Recommendation: We recommend the District develop written procedures to allocate expenses to routes and purposes under federal grants that document the timing of the preparation and review of the allocation schedule. A summary tab should be added to the allocation schedule to reconcile amounts for each route/purpose to total operating expenses, preventive maintenance, insurance, communications and other expenses allocated to the population of expenses in the general ledger. We also recommend the District develop a schedule to summarize all approved and pending grants that includes the amounts available under each grant, each route/purpose within each grant, periods of performance for each amount available, the last date to submit invoices, and amounts claimed and still available for each grant by route/purpose. The District should re-evaluate budgets if changes or delays occur to federal grants and ensure a new federal or local funding source is identified and claimed for the expenses. The SEFA should be prepared after expenses are reconciled to the general ledger at the invoice/paycheck level by route/purpose and the allocation schedule is thoroughly reviewed. The SEFA should be reviewed by a knowledgeable member of management to ensure completeness and accuracy. We also recommend the District claim expenses more quickly to allow the granting agency time to review and approve the claims before the audit begins. We recommend the District reconcile expenses within 30 days of quarter end and prepare claims within 45 days of quarter end. If the District is unsure about the period of performance dates or other restrictions on a grant, staff should contact the granting agency for clarification. Finally, we recommend the District request the grants be made available for general operating expenses rather than for individual routes, times etc. to reduce complexity wherever possible. 2025-002 Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the recommendation and recognizes the importance of maintaining strong procedures for the monitoring, allocation and claiming of federal grant expenses. Over the past year, the District has made significant progress addressing the complexity created by the increase in federal grants following the pandemic, including reviewing prior year grant activity, resolving overclaims, coordinating closely with Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and amending grants where necessary. During this process, the District delayed certain claims while prior year matters were being resolved to ensure that expenses were claimed appropriately and in accordance with grant requirements. Staff also developed improved internal worksheets and summary schedules to track grant activity and allocations across funding sources. As the District moves beyond the review and resolution of older grant issues, management expects continued improvement in the monitoring, management, and reconciliation of federal funding sources. The District will continue strengthening internal procedures, including developing more formal written documentation of allocation methodologies, reconciliation schedules, and review procedures. These efforts are expected to further improve timeliness, accuracy, and oversight of grant reporting and claiming activities.

LSC Grants (Basic and Native American) – Assistance Listing No. 09.742018 Recommendation: The Organization should implement a review process for proper cutoff of federal expenditures incurred during a grant’s period o fperformance to ensure only expenses incurred during current periods are included. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: The Organization respectfully disagrees to the extent the finding suggests a reporting deficiency related to the specific item identified. As reflected in the audit correspondence, the underlying accrual in question was reviewed and determined by both the Organization’s accounting support and the auditors to be immaterial, and no adjustment was recommended or required. However, the Organization acknowledges the value of formalizing documentation of its review procedures to ensure consistency and clarity in all reporting determinations. Action taken in response to finding: Notwithstanding the above, the Organization will implement a formalized review and documentation process for financial and performance reports to ensure that all determinations—including immaterial items—are consistently reviewed, documented, and supported. This will include: • A standardized report review checklist • Documentation of materiality assessments and related decisions • Secondary review and approval prior to submission This process will be incorporated into the Organization’s accounting procedures and applied consistently across all LSC-funded grants. In addition, the revision to the Accounting Manual will be submitted to LSC for its review.
