For the year ended June 30, 2024 Finding No. 2024-001 – Communication of Property Disposals Award Information Cluster: Research and Development Grantors: National Institutes of Health National Science Foundation Award Numbers: NIH 5R00CA158066-04, NIH 1R21-AI48561-01, NSF CHE-1362211 Award Years: 2013-2014, 2000-2001, 2014-2015 Assistance Listing Numbers: 93.396, 93.856, 47.049 Assistance Listing Titles: Cancer Biology Research, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Research, Mathematical and Physical Sciences Management agrees with the recommendation to continue to provide training to individuals involved with the handling of assets purchased with federal funding. This training will be performed through various means and emphasize the necessity of timely disposal reporting to ensure the accuracy of the University's property records. We are in the process of implementing the following corrective actions and plan to have these completed by the start of the 2026 fiscal year: • We will issue an annual written guideline to property custodians, including clear procedures for the proper identification of capital assets and the timely completion of disposal documentation. • We will continue to conduct our biennial moveable equipment inventory with property custodians and reinforce the importance of maintaining accurate property records. • We will review the current application used by property custodians to process asset disposals and consider conversion to a Google Forms application to improve the workflow and efficiency for completing asset disposal requests. • We will reinforce, during quarterly business manager meetings, asset transfer and disposal communication protocols. The University is committed to maintaining accurate and timely records related to fixed asset disposal. We believe the corrective actions outlined above will effectively address the audit finding and strengthen the University’s internal controls.

Management Response: Management acknowledges that federal grant proceeds were not posted to the designated grant revenue account and were instead recorded as water sales. However, a grant revenue account was already established for these funds, and this was an error in posting rather than a lack of proper account setup. The grant in question has now been fully expended and closed, so there will be no further transactions related to this specific award. Corrective Action Plan: Proper Posting Procedures – Going forward, any future federal grant funds will be recorded in the designated grant revenue account to ensure proper classification. Self-Review Process – The individual responsible for accounting will implement a self-review process to verify that all grant-related transactions are correctly posted.

Corrective Action Plan The University believes the student identified in this finding as an isolated instance. Upon review, the student completed her undergraduate degree in December 2023. The student was accepted into a graduate degree program beginning January 2024. The student’s graduate degree record was created and became active on 1/4/2024. The December 2023 graduated student report was created and submitted to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) on 1/9/2024 however the student’s record was recorded as Withdrawn and not Graduated 12/2023 as the student’s active record noted the master’s level graduate program. The incorrect reporting as withdrawn and not graduated appears to be a timing of dates for when enrollment reporting in January occurred. The University will implement procedures to identify December graduated students who will enter a master’s level program to ensure their undergraduate degree program is submitted as graduated in a timely manner.
