Corrective Action Plans

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN April 10, 2025 M.C. College Preparatory School of Wisconsin, Inc., respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ending June 30, 2024. Walkowicz, Boczkiewicz & Co., S.C. 1800 East Main Street, Suite 100 Waukesha, WI 53186 AUDIT PERIOD: June 30, 2024 The findings from the June 30, 2024, schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS-FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION MATERIAL WEAKNESS 2024-001 Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund - COVID-19 – CFDA No. 84.425 Condition: During the audit of submitted claims, it was found that there was a lack of sufficient review procedures to ensure proper verification of costs. Specifically, several instances of duplicated expenditures were identified within the claims. The same costs were submitted more than once for reimbursement, resulting in questioned costs. Criteria: The Organization's internal controls should require that claims be thoroughly reviewed for accuracy and completeness before submission. This includes verifying that costs are not duplicated and ensuring proper documentation supports each expenditure. Additionally, the previously submitted claims included in the period of performance should be monitored to prevent duplication. Cause: The review process did not involve cross-checking with previous claims or documentation to identify and prevent the submission of duplicate costs. Effect: As a result of inadequate claim reviews, the organization has submitted claims containing duplicated costs. These duplicated expenditures have resulted in questioned costs, which may need to be refunded. The failure to detect and prevent such errors could lead to non-compliance with funding requirements. Questioned costs: $505,820 Auditor’s recommendation: It is recommended that the organization implement a more thorough review process for all submitted claims. This should include cross-checking current claims against previous claims to detect and prevent duplicated costs. A system should be implemented to track claims and associated costs more effectively, ensuring that no expenditure is claimed more than once. Action Taken: M.C. College Preparatory School of Wisconsin, Inc.’s Management has completed the transition to a new payroll system with enhanced process controls as of December 2024. This system enables the organization to isolate funding source allocations at the individual employee level, thereby preventing expenses from being attributed to more than one source. Final programming and control reviews are scheduled for completion prior to June 30, 2025. Further, Management has reviewed the questioned costs with the local education authority and has submitted qualified replacement expenses for all amounts initially submitted in error. As a result, no refund is required, and the applicable financial reserve will be released in the upcoming fiscal year. If the Department of Education has questions regarding this plan, please call Alfred Keith IV at 414-264-6000. Sincerely yours, Alfred Keith IV Chief Education Officer

Federal Program Information Federal Agencies: Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) Pass-Through Entity: Virginia Department of Health; Not Applicable Pass-Through Entity Number: INORWB611-GY23; INORWB611-GY24; Not Applicable Awards: Assistance Listing 93.917 – HIV Emergency Relief Project Grants; Assistance Listing 93.918 – Grants to Provide Outpatient Early Intervention Services with Respect to HIV Disease Award Periods: April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024; April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025; May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024; May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2025 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Description: Timely Application of Program Income Prior to Requesting Additional Cash Payments Recommendation: During the latter part of the fiscal year and as a result of prior year audit findings, IJP implemented various checkpoints in their monthly processes to ensure that program income was disbursed prior to requesting cash reimbursements. IJP should continue to assess existing policies and procedures to ensure the program income balance is spent timely. HRSA recommends that recipients and subrecipients strive to proactively secure and estimate the extent to which program income will be accrued. View of responsible officials: Management concurs with the finding and has implemented procedures to ensure appropriate and timely application of program income. Corrective Action Planned: Inova Grants Accounting and Inova Juniper Program (IJP) directors will work collaboratively to disburse funds available from program income prior to requesting additional cash payments from RWHAP funds. Inova implemented a Program Income from Sponsored Programs policy in February 2025. Inova will assess this written procedure and revise as necessary to ensure that program income is applied before requesting federal reimbursement. Inova will review federal grant requirements related to program income and identify sources of program income during kickoff meetings for new awards. Mandatory training will be conducted for program and finance staff responsible for the administration of these awards. (2 CFR 200.307 and 200.305) Inova will require a monthly reconciliation of program income earned and expenditures by grant. Program income tracking will also be included in monthly grant variance reports. Planned Completion Date for Corrective Action Planned: Ongoing with completion date of December 31, 2025.

This Finding is related to the failure to correctly report grant funds being expended and to the lack of a Department’s filing one quarterly report timely related to the SLFRF Funds. The Department has been contacted and is carefully reviewing guidance for all future remaining reports. Future Reports are expected to be filed correctly and timely, with future education being sought as needed.

We are working to change the standard for document retention and organization. This will help ensure all costs are properly approved before they are charged to federal programs, and that management understands the imperative nature for the record retention.

Management acknowledges the error and agrees with the recommendation to strengthen reporting controls. While the report was ultimately corrected and resubmitted, CU1 recognizes the importance of ensuring all reports align with the required performance timeframe. It should be noted that this reporting error occurred prior to the recent merger. Following the merger, the Credit Union is no longer a member of the CDFI Fund, and therefore the CDFI ERP reporting requirements will not apply going forward. To address the finding, CU1 has: • Corrected and resubmitted the Year 1 reports to ensure compliance with the grant agreement at the time. • Documented the issue as part of merger due diligence to ensure transparency and closure. As CDFI Fund membership and related reporting obligations no longer apply post-merger, no further corrective actions are necessary beyond these steps. Expected Completion Date – Completed Responsible Parties – Wendy Gorevan, CFO (FAFCU pre-merger) and Scott McDonald, CFO (post-merger)
