Recommendation We recommend the District implement documented daily edit checks reconciling meal counts to attendance records and maintain records of this review. For food inventory, the District should establish a formal inventory system, including perpetual inventory records, monthly physical counts, and supervisory review. Staff involved in Child Nutrition operations should receive training on USDA and federal compliance requirements Management Response Corrective Action The Food Service Director will implement the federally required daily edit check process. This will include comparing daily meal counts against the attendance and enrollment figures to ensure that claims do not exceed the number of students present. Any discrepancies identified during this process will be investigated and documented prior to submission of the monthly claim. The District will also change the tracking of meals served by using an official meal tracking device or by having students use their badge/ID cards to get a more accurate meal count each day. The District has a formal inventory process for all food service supplies including canned goods, dry goods, and freezer items. This system tracks items from receipt through consumption. The District conducts monthly physical inventory counts of all food service assets. These counts are reconciled and any significant variances are reviewed by the Food Service Director and reported to the Business Manager. The District will ensure that all nutrition staff is trained on these procedures as well. Due Date of Completion: June 30, 2026 Responsible Party Business Manager, Food Service Director

Management acknowledges the audit finding related to the absence of a formally documented written information security program. While VEEB has implemented certain administrative and technical safeguards to protect sensitive information, these practices have not been consolidated into a single, written information security program as required. Management is committed to addressing this matter and plans to formalize its existing information security practices into a written information security program that is appropriate to the size, complexity, and risk profile of the organization. Management expects to complete the development and implementation of the written program during the upcoming fiscal year. Management believes that this condition does not reflect a failure to safeguard information, but rather a documentation gap that will be remedied through the actions described above.
Management agrees with the finding and has indicated that corrective actions will be implemented to improve monitoring and timeliness of R2T4 returns. Management’s corrective action plan is included in the accompanying schedule.

Management Response The University concurs with this finding. Management has reviewed its processes for monitoring and issuing Title IV credit balance refunds and has implemented procedures to ensure refunds are processed within the required 14-day timeframe. The Financial Aid and Student Accounts offices will review credit balance reports on a regular basis to identify students eligible for refunds and confirm timely disbursement. In addition, staff have been reminded of federal requirements related to credit balance refunds. Management will monitor this process periodically to ensure ongoing compliance. Corrective Action The University reviewed the federal requirements for refunds with applicable members of the Business Office and Financial Aid departments to ensure a thorough understanding of the refund rules. The University enhanced its weekly credit balance review process to require explicit review by the Controller and Director of Financial Aid if uncertainty exists on whether a student is eligible for a refund. This review must be completed within the 14 day period with either the refund issued or the loan removed from the student’s account.

Management Response The University concurs with this finding and has implemented corrective actions to prevent recurrence. The entrance counseling loan processing rule parameters within the Colleague financial aid module have been updated to prevent loan authorization and disbursement if entrance counseling has not been received and posted to the student's loan record. The system update was implemented in February 2026. In addition, the University reviewed loans processed during the affected period to confirm no additional instances of noncompliance occurred. Financial aid staff have been reminded of federal entrance counseling requirements, and management will periodically monitor system controls to ensure continued compliance. Corrective Action In February 2026, the University updated the entrance counseling loan processing rule parameters within the Colleague financial aid module. From February 2026 forward, the rule parameters would prevent a loan from disbursing if the entrance counseling was not performed. The University reviewed loans processed during the period July 2024 – Feb 2026 to ensure there were no additional loans processed without entrance counseling.

F&RM will complete the following actions to ensure compliance with 2 CFR Part 200: 1. Establish written internal control policies and procedures for federal program reporting. All federal financial reports will undergo an independently documented review before submission to ensure accuracy, allowability, and proper reporting periods. 2. Implement documentation standards requiring staff to retain supporting materials such as system reports, financial queries, screenshots, and reconciliations, in accordance with federal and County retention requirements. 3. Pima County has been working with each of its grant implementing entities to use Euna Grants calendaring and reminders to prompt the entities’ timely reporting activities. Grants Management and Innovation (GMI) Department sets the reminders schedule at the onset of the performance period. The reminders are then automatically emailed to the grants manager and the assigned accountant for each grant on a set schedule throughout the course of the grant. GMI and Finance – Grants will continue to work with grant implementing entities to use these reminders to trigger the necessary actions in a timely manner. Pima County was still in the process of institutionalizing this system during FY25. 4. Provide training for staff who prepare and review federal reports, focusing on reporting requirements, documentation standards, internal controls, and record retention. 5. Conduct periodic management oversight reviews to confirm that internal controls are followed and that reports are complete, accurate, and submitted on time. The County is also planning to implement the Workday Grants Module with an anticipated go-live of July 1, 2027. This solution will enhance our ability to manage the full fiscal lifecycle of grant awards and ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements. The Workday Grants Module is a native Workday solution, purpose-built to support the full fiscal grant lifecycle. The module supports the following financial grant objectives: • Grant setup and award and fiscal tracking • Cost allocation and allocability controls • Real-time grant financial reporting • Compliance with federal Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) • Integration with Workday Financial Management, Procurement and Human Capital Management (HCM) In addition, F&RM has submitted FY 2026/27 budget requests to fund three additional Accountant III positions in our Finance – Grants Division. These positions will expand our capacity to manage our grant portfolio and strengthen our reconciliation, billing and SEFA preparation processes. The contract for the Workday Grants Module is scheduled to go before the Board of Supervisors for approval in April. These new positions will be included in the County Administrator’s Recommended Budget and will be considered by the Board as part of the full budget adoption process in June.

Finding 2025-001 – Special Tests and Provisions: Enrollment Reporting – Status Change at Program Level Corrective Action Plan I. Overview and Acknowledgment The University acknowledges Finding 2025-001 related to deficiencies in enrollment reporting at the program level under the Pell Grant, Direct Loan, and Federal Family Education Loan (“FFEL”) programs. The University concurs with the finding and recognizes the importance of accurate and timely reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (“NSLDS”) in accordance with federal requirements (OMB No. 1845-0035). The University is committed to strengthening internal controls, enhancing operational procedures, and ensuring full compliance with all enrollment reporting requirements. II. Criteria Institutions participating in federal student aid programs are required to: • Report accurate enrollment information through NSLDS, including enrollment status and program-level data elements. • Ensure that all significant data elements—including enrollment status, program begin date, and enrollment effective date—are accurate as of the reporting date. • Submit enrollment reporting updates at least every 60 days (bi-monthly). • Maintain adequate internal controls to ensure data integrity and compliance with federal regulations. III. Condition The audit identified errors in enrollment reporting for a sample of 25 students, including: • 2 instances of incorrect program enrollment effective date reporting These errors were attributed to administrative oversight and insufficient internal controls governing enrollment reporting processes. IV. Cause Analysis The University has identified the following contributing factors: • Insufficient internal controls and review mechanisms over enrollment status updates • Limited system automation and alert capabilities for tracking status changes • Inadequate staffing resources to manage reporting timelines and data verification • Lack of formalized cross-functional coordination between the Office of the Registrar and reporting entities • Absence of an independent monitoring function to ensure compliance consistency V. Corrective Actions and Implementation Plan The University will implement the following corrective actions to address the identified deficiencies: 1. Establishment of Internal Audit Function • The University will establish a formal Internal Audit function by the start of the next academic year. • This function will have broad authority to oversee compliance, enforce corrective actions, and evaluate internal controls across all relevant departments. • Internal Audit will lead ongoing reviews of enrollment reporting processes and ensure accountability. 2. Process Review and Cross-Functional Collaboration • Internal Audit will coordinate a comprehensive review of enrollment reporting processes involving the Office of the Registrar and the National Student Loan Clearinghouse. • This review will include a structured assessment of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks (SWOT analysis). • Standard operating procedures (SOPs) will be updated and formally documented. 3. Staffing and Resource Enhancements • The University will enhance staffing within the Office of the Registrar to support enrollment reporting functions. • Additional technological tools and system capabilities will be implemented to provide automated alerts, status tracking, and exception reporting. 4. Implementation of Monitoring and Control Systems • A robust monitoring system will be deployed to: o Track student enrollment status changes in real time o Generate alerts for discrepancies or missing data o Ensure timely submission of required updates to NSLDS • Data validation checkpoints will be integrated prior to submission to ensure accuracy. 5. Strengthening Reporting Protocols • Interim control measures will include the submission of transfer student status reports on a semester basis until full remediation is achieved. • All enrollment updates will undergo a secondary review and certification prior to submission. • A compliance calendar will be implemented to ensure adherence to the 60-day reporting requirement. 6. Training and Accountability Measures • Mandatory training sessions will be conducted for all personnel involved in enrollment reporting. • Training will focus on federal requirements, data accuracy standards, and system utilization. • Performance expectations and accountability metrics will be clearly defined and monitored. VI. Timeline for Implementation • Immediate (0–90 Days): o Initiate staffing enhancements o Implement interim review and validation procedures o Conduct training sessions • Short-Term (90–120 Days): o Deploy monitoring and alert systems o Formalize SOPs and compliance calendar o Begin enhanced reporting protocols • Long-Term (By Start of Next Academic Year): o Fully establish Internal Audit function o Complete comprehensive process review and continuous monitoring framework VII. Monitoring and Ongoing Compliance The Internal Audit function will conduct periodic reviews and report findings for executive leadership. Continuous monitoring will ensure that corrective actions remain effective and that compliance with federal regulations is sustained. VIII. Conclusion Through the implementation of these corrective measures, the University will address the deficiencies identified in Finding 2025-001 and significantly strengthen its internal control environment. These actions will ensure accurate and timely enrollment reporting, uphold the integrity of federal student aid programs, and reinforce the University’s commitment to regulatory compliance and operational excellence.

This audit timeframe produced findings primarily related to issues that have already been corrected through the departure of staff that contributed to the findings (to include the previous Directors), hiring of new staff with a more thorough and comprehensive training plan implemented, and staff effort to retroactively collect all required signatures at subsequent appointments to ensure all WIC clients have current signatures and understanding of Rights & Obligations and Consents for their certification period. We recognize that these new processes were not put into plan until June 2025, due to the timing of the previous audit, and therefore did not reflect on the July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 audit period. In addition to the above resolved issues, a new WIC director was hired in September 2025 and new policies and procedures were immediately developed and put into place. These new policies and procedures that serve as our already implemented corrective action plan are as follows: Staff Training a. All staff are required to complete the full ADHS WIC-sponsored live cohort training courses upon hire, and every 3 years of their employment to ensure competencies are maintained over time. b. All staff complete their annual Civil Rights, Conflict of Interest, and Confidentiality upon hire and annually. Last annual training was completed Fall 2025. c. A staff dedicated as Training Coordinator monitors training logs and ensure all training requirements are met, with additional oversight by the WIC Director and the ADHS WIC State office. d. In-person staff meetings are held monthly, with a significant portion of time dedicated to staff training on programmatic expectations to ensure all staff obtain the same information so that tasks are carried out in a standardized method. e. Weekly team huddles to review any timely findings or discuss issues as a group. f. Weekly 1:1’s with each staff to discuss areas where the employee may need additional training or to discuss any deficiencies the WIC manager has noticed, (i.e. note-taking/documentation, single income verifications, chart review findings, etc.). Separation of Duties g. Cert List for Audits report run every 2 weeks for each clinic/staff person to review adherence to Separation of Duties. i. Follow up with certain percentage of clients per policy to assess how the certification went and verify client information. ii. Follow up with staff if any issues are identified. h. Staff have been training on during staff meetings in July 2025, August 2025, October 2025, and during new employee training on how to properly use the HANDS system to ensure the system accurately records who completed the 2nd income verification. i. Revision of Separation of Duties policy and implementation of new “protected time” procedure to ensure there is a staff person available at almost all times of day to complete the 2nd IV. *Since approval of this policy the ADHS WIC state office on 1/5/2026 and implementation of this policy/procedure, the Cert List for Audit report of single-income verifications has decreased substantially (from 60 in 2 weeks, to 5), all with documented reasons why 2nd IV was unable to be obtained during certification appointment and notes verifying 2nd IV was completed on another date. Rights and Obligations and Consent Forms a. All staff received a refresher training on 8/26/25, will be retrained annually, and are regularly reminded to obtain both required signatures at certification b. If staff are unable to obtain digital signatures due to tech issues, they are required to obtain e-document signatures via the clients email, or written signatures the staff then scans into the client file c. Chart reviews and staff observations are completed on a monthly-bimonthly basis to ensure ongoing staff compliance with policy and procedure
