Audit Finding 2025-1: During the audit it was noted that certain general ledger accounts were not analyzed and reconciled on a timely basis. Management Response: The Center has continued to experience turnover in key accounting positions. New programs with new software updates have required additional staff training. The Medicaid Eligibility Renewal process by the State now has Renewals required every 12 months while prior to covid the Medicaid Program Renewals were required every 24 months. This has caused serious issues with the reconciliation process for Several of our Medicare, Medicaid, HCS and TXHMLV Accounts. We booked conservatively what we thought we could anticipate for Revenues assuming that we would begin receiving Reinstatement of Benefits at a somewhat regular Renewal Rate. We are allowed to back bill at least 90 days once approval is given. The Renewal Process is taking way longer than it used to, significantly complicating the reconciliation process, especially at year end with the need for separation of Revenue by Fiscal Years (matching process of Revenue with the same period Expenditures) Management will continue to train existing employees on significant accounting issues and IDD Management has recently begun using the Medicaid Lost Report to better anticipate lapses in upcoming Renewals of Consumers. We will also begin closing out our billings for the prior Fiscal Year earlier than we currently do. Any prior billings (Rebills) occurring after this established cutoff date (Medicare/Medicaid) will be reflected in the current year’s revenue and receivable balances.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University implement a formal review process as it relates to withdrawn students to ensure R2T4 calculations are being performed accurately and timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The withdrawal dates applied in the Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculations were based on the dates students were administratively withdrawn by the Office of the Registrar. Upon identification of the audit finding, the Office of Financial Aid conducted a comprehensive review of the affected R2T4 calculations and made the necessary corrections. Any balances resulting from these errors were subsequently written off. Additionally, the Director of Financial Aid completed a full file review for the applicable award year to assess the accurate inclusion of scheduled break days. During this review, two additional students were identified whose R2T4 calculations did not include the appropriate number of break days. The calculations for these students were corrected, and the resulting balances were written off. No further errors were identified. As part of the corrective action, the Office of Financial Aid has hired an additional Financial Aid Advisor dedicated to the review and completion of R2T4 calculations. Furthermore, the Director of Financial Aid has implemented a secondary review process for all completed R2T4 calculations to ensure accuracy and compliance. The Office of Financial Aid has also reviewed the Financial Aid Handbook and applicable Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) related to R2T4 calculations to reinforce adherence to regulatory requirements.

Finding Reference: 2025-001 Description of Finding: HUD regulations require certifications to be completed and entered timely to ensure accurate calculation of Housing Assistance Payments (HAP), Total Tenant Payment (TTP) and utility reimbursements. Per 24 CFR section 982.516, the Authority must reexamine family income and composition at least once every two years and adjust the tenant rent and housing assistance payment as necessary using the documentation from third party verification. Of the 60 Moving to Work files tested, the following items were noted: • 40 instances of certifications not completed timely • 6 instances where the file did not contain income support • 3 instances where housing quality standards inspections were not completed within the last 2 years • 1 instance in which a rent comparison was not completed for a new move in Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Louisville Metro Housing Authority agrees with Cherry Bekaert in reference to audit finding 2025-001. Corrective Action: LMHA continues to work through issues around the proper and timely processing of program certifications to support accurate Housing Assistance Payments, Total Tenant Payments and utility reimbursements. Currently, recertifications are processed on a biennial basis schedule, through a three-tiered system outlined in our updated MTW plan. This will address timeliness of recertification while also ensuring compliance and review of supporting documentation. Please note the following rules tied to LMHA’s three-tiered recertification system: 1) When the family is zero income, they will go to an annual recertification. 2) When family is working, (enrolling in KTAP (Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program), receiving Child Support, and other similar sources of income) they will go to a biennial recertification. 3) When a family has fixed income, (receiving Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and/or Pension payments), they will go to a triennial recertification. The HCV Team is also working with Yardi (ERP system) to maximize the reporting and monitoring of the recertification schedule. The manager initiates the tracking for needed processing and possible termination of participants. With the three-tiered system, staff will be able to review all tenant information closely during recertifications to ensure proper housing assistance payments. Additionally, to improve sufficient controls and internal monitoring, the HCV Team is partnering with the Compliance Team to review tenant files for errors and improper supporting documentation.

Corrective Action Plan Finding Number: 2025-001 – Enrollment Reporting Controls – Student Financial Aid Special Test Finding: There is no control in place by the College to review information submitted to NSLDS for student enrollment status changes. Corrective Actions Planned Given the size of the Financial Aid Office, the College will implement compensating internal controls to ensure accurate and timely enrollment reporting while maintaining operational efficiency. Effective immediately, the College will implement the following controls: 1. Continued Use of the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) The College will continue to rely on the National Student Clearinghouse as its third-party servicer for enrollment status reporting to NSLDS. 2. Independent Post-Submission Review On a monthly basis, the Office of Financial Aid will review NSC enrollment reporting confirmation files to verify that enrollment status changes were submitted to NSLDS accurately and within the required 60-day timeframe. This review will be performed by an individual other than the primary preparer, where feasible, or through supervisory review when staffing is limited. 3. Documentation and Retention Evidence of review, including reviewer initials and date, will be retained. A simple enrollment reporting review log will be maintained to document compliance. 4. Ongoing Oversight The Director of Financial Aid will conduct periodic spot checks to confirm controls are operating as intended. Responsible Official: De Rodrick Jonkins, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: February 1, 2026 Additional Context The Director of Financial Aid assumed the role effective April 1, 2025, after prior corrective actions had been initiated. While formal independent review controls were not documented during the audit period, there were no identified instances of late enrollment reporting or inaccurate enrollment status submissions to NSLDS. The corrective actions above are intended to formalize controls and ensure sustained compliance with federal requirements.

Contact information for the individual responsible for the corrective action: Mr. Chris Hoelzer, Vice President of Finance & Administration East Central College 1964 Prairie Dell Road Union, MO 63084 Independent public accounting firm: KPM CPAs, PC, 1445 E Republic Rd, Springfield, Missouri 65804 Audit Period: Year Ended June 30, 2025 The finding from the June 30, 2025 audit of the financial statements is below. The finding is numbered with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDING - MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT 2025-001 Special Test and Provisions - Return of Title IV Funds Recommendation: We recommend the College implement procedures to strictly comply with the requirements of 34 CFR §668.22 as it relates to calculations of return of Title IV funds. Corrective Action Taken: The college conducted a comprehensive review of all student accounts potentially impacted by the incorrect academic calendar dates and identified 52 students whose Return of Title IV (R2T4) calculations required review. As a result of this reveiw, the Financial Aid Office determined that 41 students required a return of Title IV funds to the U.S. Department of Education. The total amount of funding returned was $12,590. The Financial Aid Office corrected the R2T4 calculations, updated the academic calendar dates in the financial aid system, and processed the required returns of Title IV funds. To prevent recurrence, the College has implemented internal procedures to ensure academic calendar dates are reviewed and verified in the financial aid system before performing R2T4 calculations for each award year. Anticipated Completion Date: Fall semester 2025 and ongoing. Sincerely, Chris Hoelzer Vice President of Finance & Administration

Enrollment information was not submitted within the required timeframe by the College. Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: Dena Norris, Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Financial Services, and Tara Dettmer, Director of Financial Aid – Fiscal Operations Anticipated Completion Date: Corrective action plan will be implemented by June 30, 2026. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Plan: Despite best efforts by the College to correct the errors in enrollment reporting, the College experienced turnover among staff, and as a result, was unable to shift staffing resources or quickly hire replacement staff to correct the finding. Metropolitan Community College (MCC) is in the process of hiring additional staff dedicated to enrollment and compliance reporting. MCC will make a random selection of 10-15 students each month to verify data was correctly transmitted to National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). A secondary check of these students will be done to ensure the data is also transmitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). MCC will also ensure error reports and other data issues are resolved in a timely manner to ensure reporting of students is completed within the regulatory timeframe. Due to the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning system MCC is also validating and correcting any submission errors.
