Significant Deficiency Item 2025-006 - Special Tests and Provisions - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Center Program Cluster (Assistance Listing Number 93.224/93.527) Notice of Award Number 6 HB0CS00505-23-04, 6 H2ECS45602-02-04, 1 HBLCS50772-01-00 and 6 HBHCS46163-03-01 During our audit, we noted that LBUCC conducted quarterly internal audit reviews of fifty (50) samples self-pay patients to review for sliding fee discount determination. However, we noted that the findings or exceptions identified in the quarterly internal audit review remained uncorrected. Recommendation: We recommend that LBUCC establish a process for communicating, investigating and correcting all internal audit findings or exceptions on a timely manner. Additionally, we recommend that management identify the potential cause of such findings or exceptions and that necessary corrective actions be taken to address such cause. For example, LBUCC may conduct periodic training of all employees involved in the patient intake and screening process. Action Taken: The internal audit process has been redesigned and expanded to include weekly reviews and all exceptions/errors will be corrected and the cause determined. Additional training will be provided with the expectation that the exceptions/errors will reduce going forward. Effectivity Date: This will be fully implemented by 1/31/2026

Material Weakness Item 2025-005 -Activities Allowed and Una/lowed Costs - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Center Program Cluster (Assistance Listing Number 93.224/93.527) Notice of Award Number 6 HB0CS00505-23-04, 6 H2ECS45602-02-04, 1 HBLCS50772-01-00 and 6 HBHCS46163-03-01 During our audit, we noted that LBUCC charged salaries to the Section 330 grant based on pre-determined allocations or budget rather than actual hours worked. LBUCC utilized timesheets that reflect the allocations as its time and effort documentation. Recommendation: We recommend that LBUCC implement a time and effort reporting system that tracks actual hours worked on each program or grant. We recommend that they require supervisors to review and approve the actual time spent on grant activities and that such review and approval be documented. Action Taken: LBUCC will implement a time and effort reporting system to include a semi-annual certification for all employees funded by the HRSA 330 grant and a time card reporting system for those funded by multiple grants. Effectivity Date: Time and effort reporting will be implemented in January 2026 and fully in place by 1/31/2026

Although the reports were submitted timely, there were no indication of formal review procedures to validate the accuracy, completeness, or consistency of reported financial data with the accounting records. Recommendation: We recommend that LBUCC establish and implement a formal review process over the Federal Financial Report (SF-425); we also recommend that evidence of the review be documented and approval be kept on file. Action Taken: Process in place where Director of Accounting will prepare the Federal Financial Report (SF-425) and the Chief Financial Officer will review and document approval which will be kept on file. Effectivity Date: Process was implemented 12/1/2025

Material Weakness Item 2025-002 - Special Tests and Provisions - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Center Program Cluster (Assistance Listing Number 93.224/93.527) Notice of Award Number 6 H80CS00505-23-04, 6 H2ECS45602-02-04, 1 H8LCS50772-01-00 and 6 H8HCS46163-03-01 During our audit, we noted that LBUCC did not properly determine the sliding fee discount provided to certain eligible patients based on information provided during the patient registration process. Additionally, we could not ascertain if the sliding fee discount provided to certain eligible patients were correct as LBUCC did not maintain documentation of the proof of income of those eligible patients. Recommendation: We recommend that LBUCC conduct training of all of its personnel who are involved in determining and applying the sliding fee scale of patients. We also recommend LBUCC to maintain complete and auditable documentation supporting each patient's eligibility for sliding fee discount. Action Taken: Eligibility was provided additional training which included training on a tool to assist them in determining the proper sliding fee discount. Effectivity Date: Training was held on October 28, 2025, and the tool to assist them was reviewed and provided at that time and implemented immediately thereafter.

Finding #2025-002 – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance – Reporting. Applicable federal program: U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, Assistance Listing #93.959, Passed through Texas Health and Human Services Commission, All contracts, Contract years: 09/01/23 – 08/31/24 and 09/01/24 – 08/31/25. Condition and context: In our testing of a sample of monthly billings and quarterly reports from throughout the fiscal year, we noted that reports were not being submitted within the required timelines for several reporting periods. Management communicated their delays to Texas Health and Human Services Commission (THHS), and their plan to rectify the delays. Phoenix Houses of Texas were able to file all delayed quarterly reports and monthly billings prior to June 30, 2025. THHS has approved all the delayed monthly billings and quarterly reports. Recommendation: Re-emphasize internal controls over timely grant billing and reporting to comply with grant contracts. Planned corrective action: All outstanding billings were subsequently submitted and billings are now current and submitted in accordance with required timelines. Corrective actions implemented include updates to Finance Department policies and procedures to formalize month-end closing and billing timelines and to strengthen oversight and monitoring controls. These changes ensure that billing and reporting are performed on a timely and ongoing basis. Responsible officer: Drew Dutton, CEO and Anunoy Mou, Finance Director. Estimated completion date: Completed September 2025.

Significant Deficiency Finding: 2025-001 Certification of Tenants Criteria and Condition The grant agreement requires ECS to (1) maintain complete tenant files in the San Francisco HMIS ONE System with hard-copy eligibility documents; (2) apply changes to tenant rent portions based on City and County of San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supporting Housing (HSH) notifications; and (3) perform required initial, annual, and interim recertifications under the Housing First program model. We noted instances where tenant files did not contain complete eligibility documentation and/or where required recertifications or updates to tenant rent portions were not performed or documented in accordance with the grant requirements. Context ECS provides rental assistance under the program described in Appendix A-2, which requires full documentation of tenant eligibility and strict adherence to rent-portion updates and recertification timelines. Of our 31 selections, we noted 6 instances where homelessness verification was missing, 6 instances where the rent portions based on HSH notifications were incorrect and 10 instances where the recertifications were not completed for the grant period under audit. Questioned Cost There are no questioned costs regarding this finding. Cause The exceptions result from inconsistent file maintenance and monitoring procedures, including insufficient review over documentation completeness and timeliness of recertifications. The issues were centered on tenant files managed by a third-party service provider. Effect Incomplete tenant files and untimely recertifications increase the risk of noncompliance with grant requirements and may result in incorrect tenant rent portions being charged or insufficient support for program eligibility. Repeat Finding This finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation We recommend that ECS enhance its documentation and monitoring processes with its third-party property managers by implementing a standardized tenant file checklist, conducting periodic supervisory reviews to confirm that all eligibility documents and recertifications are completed and retained, and establishing a tracking process to ensure tenant rent portions are updated promptly based on HSH notifications. View of responsible officials Management agrees with the recommendation. Corrective Action Planned ECS has taken and will continue to take the following steps in the 2026 fiscal year to correct this deficiency. Step 1: Resources ECS began addressing Certificate of Tenancy errors with the hiring an Associate Chief of Real Estate and Asset Management in August, a Director of Property Management in October and a Property Management Compliance Manager in September. Step 2: Best Practices ECS has hired a consulting firm to correct Certificate of Tenancy errors at its one of its sites and will apply the best practices learned to all the affiliate and master lease sites. In addition, ECS has put together policies and procedures and has offered training to both ECS and subcontracted staff on Certificate of Tenancy. ECS will continue to offer compliance training as it takes over property management across all Master Lease sites and the affiliate portfolio. Step 3: Take control of property management Replace outsourced property management with ECS staff to better control Tenant documentation at all master lease and affiliate sites. Step 4: Quality and Compliance ECS has started in a few sites to review Tenant documentation and will expand this review to all sites across its entire portfolio. Implementation Date ECS will fully correct Certificate of Tenancy errors by June 30, 2026. Responsible Personnel The Chief Operating Officer and the Associate Chief of Real Estate and Asset Management.

2025-001 Reporting US Department of Education – AL #s10.553, 10.555, 10.559 and 10.582 Child Nutrition Cluster Condition: The District submitted monthly child nutrition reimbursement claims that contained inaccurate meal counts for multiple months during the fiscal year. Specifically, the District overstated reimbursable meal counts due to errors in including non-reimbursable meals served. Additionally, the claims were not subject to an independent review prior to submission to ensure accuracy and completeness. Name of Contact Person: Ann Berman, Business Manager Plan of Action: The District will revisit the internal control processes surrounding the grant reporting and reimbursement process to ensure meal count information submitted is within program requirements of Child Nutrition Cluster programs. In the event there are questions surrounding meal count and other information subject to reporting, the District will continue to rely on timely guidance from external governmental accounting consultants, the Oregon Department of Revenue, and the Oregon Department of Education.

Name of Responsible Individual: Matt Cooper, Student Financial Services Corrective Action: To strengthen compliance and ensure the accuracy of student aid eligibility determinations, we will enhance Liberty’s quality control (QC) measures within the federal verification process. Our primary goal is to minimize errors, improve consistency, and ensure all Financial Aid verification activities align with federal regulations and institutional policy. We will begin by implementing a more targeted QC process aimed at validating records of students who submitted subsequent tax documents. We will increase our verification QC selections of this particular population from 35% (current) to 60% (future) to verify data accuracy, documentation completeness, and adherence to ED’s Application and Verification Guide (AVG). Findings from these reviews will be used to identify training needs and process improvements. Staff training will be expanded to focus on federal verification requirements, common error trends, and documentation standards. Refresher trainings will be held with the entire verification processing team, and supplemental individual coaching will be provided on a monthly basis to address any specific issues identified through QC. We will also create reporting to ensure the percentage of reviews mentioned above is maintained by our QC workflow. Regular data analysis will help identify any systemic issues early, allowing for corrective actions to mitigate any compliance issues. By reinforcing staff training, system monitoring, and increased reviews, we will ensure that our federal verification process remains accurate, compliant, and student-centered. Anticipated Completion Date: February 2026

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The Board believes it has personnel who possess suitable skill, knowledge, or experience to oversee services the auditor provides in assisting with financial statement presentation which requires a lower level of technical knowledge than the competence required to prepare the financial statements, related footnote disclosures and SEFA in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

Views of Responsible Officials: The Office of the Registrar has continued to struggle with our reporting using the Ellucian product Power Campus. Since Ellucian is sunsetting this product, there have been significant changes in their support due to changes in their staffing. Ellucian employees with more knowledge in NSC reporting have been transferred to their other products, leaving very little knowledge to support our efforts. We are fortunate to work with our current consultant who does seek resources regarding our inability to have a report that works accurately. She has reviewed and rewritten the report. However, according to her support team, they have now admitted that the report will never run correctly using our current version. They have suggested that we upgrade to a different version with corrections but that is impossible currently. With this knowledge, GCU has purchased a new ERP system, Jenzabar, and has begun the implementation process. We are going into Phase 2 of this implementation and expect to go live in Spring 2027. It is our intention to continue to utilize our current Ellucian consultant until that occurs for us to continue to produce the most accurate reporting we can, given these circumstances.

Finding 2025-001 Special Tests and Provisions – Annual Report Card, High School Graduation Rate Criteria: Title I grantees must report graduation data for all public high schools. To remove a student from the cohort, a school or LEA must confirm, in writing, that the student transferred out, emigrated to another country, transferred to a prison or juvenile facility, or is deceased. To confirm that a student transferred out, the school or LEA must have official written documentation that the student enrolled in another school or in an educational program that culminates in the award of a regular high school diploma. Audit Recommendation: The District should strengthen controls over documentation and reporting of student transfers. This includes developing or enhancing procedures to ensure that all transfer codes are supported by verifiable records, maintaining those records in accordance with federal and state retention requirements, and periodically reviewing cohort data for completeness and accuracy. Corrective Action Planned: The District will review, update, and train staff on the process and internal controls related to record keeping for transfer students to ensure compliance. Person Responsible: Jason Sundberg, Business Administrator Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2025
