Federal Program: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Assistance Listing: 93.110 Federal Agency: Maternal and Child Health Federal Consolidated Programs (MCH) Grant Award Number: 5 T73MC30767-09 Award Period: 7/1/2024-6/30/2025 Management agrees with the finding and has strengthened our internal controls and procedures to ensure required FFATA reports are submitted timely in compliance with the Federal Transparency Act.

The agency concurs with this finding as the documents provided by the agency showed that some contracts that were modified and met the required threshold for FFATA reporting was not done when the modifications were approved. FFATA reporting has been done by the agency but a breakdown in the reporting process by the agency did not include reporting contracts that has modification. The agency is revising internal policies and procedures to ensure all staff responsible for FFATA reporting understand that all contracts, including contracts that have modifications that increase funding up to the threshold of FFATA reporting, must be included in the FFATA reporting. Continuous training will be done for all financial staff responsible for FFATA training.

Brooklyn Law School Single Audit Corrective Action Plan For the Year Ending June 30, 2025 Section III - Federal Awards Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2025-001: Significant Deficiency - NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Criteria: Title IV regulations (34 CFR 685.309(b)) require that upon receipt of an enrollment report from the Secretary of the Department of Education (Secretary), institutions must update all information included in the report and return the report to the Secretary: (I) in the manner and format prescribed by the Secretary; and (ii) within the timeframe prescribed by the Secretary. Unless the institution expects to submit its next updated enrollment report to the Secretary within the next 60 days, an institution must notify the Secretary within 30 days after the date the institution discovers that: (i) a loan under Title IV of the Act was made to or on behalf of a student who was enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the institution, and the student has ceased to be enrolled on at least a halftime basis or failed to enroll on at least a half-time basis for the period for which the loan was intended or (ii) a student who is enrolled at the institution and who received a loan under Title IV of the Act has changed his or her permanent address. Condition: The Law School did not notify the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) in a timely manner for 23 students with status changes in our sample of 25 students. For 2 out of 25 students selected in the sample, the effective date that was reported to the NSLDS did not match the date that the student changed status. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Cause: The Law School's controls surrounding the reporting of students’ statuses and status effective dates to the NSLDS did not appropriately ensure the information was submitted accurately or timely. Effect: The accuracy of the Title IV student loan records depends heavily on the accuracy of the enrollment information reported by schools. If an institution does not review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, effective dates of the enrollment status, and the anticipated completion dates, then the Title IV student loan records will be inaccurate. Recommendation: We recommend that the Law School review its procedures for student status changes and NSLDS notifications to ensure there are follow-up and review procedures being performed for all students with status changes at the Law School to ensure accurate and timely reporting. Management Response: Management agrees with the finding, The Director of Financial Aid and the Registrar will implement procedures and controls in fiscal 2026 to ensure accurate and timely updating of the enrollment reports to NSLDS. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026 Responsible Person: John K. Zhang, Vice President for Finance and Board Treasurer (718)-780-7503 - john.zhang@brooklaw.edu

Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending ‐ Construction – Assistance Listing No. 93.493 Recommendation: We recommend that the Association implement formal policies and procedures requiring the tracking and submission of performance reports within the required timeframe. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The late submission of OARN's Semi-Annual Progress Reports is directly related to the current EHB report format. This format is challenging because it requires specific, unique answers for each of our 19 sites but only provides fields for 10. This limitation makes accurate and comprehensive reporting impossible, as the correct response is unique to each site. While we have collaborated with EHB to modify the format, the submission is still restricted to 10 sites. Consequently, for the most recent reporting period, we completed the electronic submission for the initial 10 sites and submitted a separate emailed document containing the progress information for the remaining 9 sites. Moving forward, until the report format is permanently changed, we plan to continue using this two-part submission strategy to ensure timely reporting. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Lee McKenzie, OARN Grant Manager Planned completion date for corrective action plan: April 30, 2026

Finding 2025-001 The College concurs with the audit finding that students who withdrew at the conclusion of the fall 2024 semester were not reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within the required 60-day reporting timeframe. This occurred as a result of two primary factors: (1) the enrollment reporting schedule with the National Student Clearinghouse was outdated, and (2) the 60-day reporting requirement was not clearly defined within Allegheny’s internal processes. Allegheny recognizes the importance of timely and accurate reporting of students’ enrollment status to NSLDS. Enrollment rosters and updated enrollment statuses are regularly reported to NSLDS to ensure that changes affecting loan repayment obligations and in-school deferment eligibility are accurately reflected within the Department of Education’s records. The College is committed to strengthening its procedures to ensure continued compliance with federal reporting requirements. The College will continue to adhere to NSLDS reporting processes and required timelines. Through enhanced collaboration among the Financial Aid, Registrar’s, and Provost’s Offices, Allegheny will fully align and formalize enrollment reporting procedures. The College will review, verify, and update reporting schedules to ensure accuracy and compliance with applicable requirements. Specifically, the College will annually review its enrollment reporting schedule with the National Student Clearinghouse to ensure that enrollment data is transmitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) at least once every 60 calendar days, in accordance with federal reporting requirements. For students who notify the College of their intent to leave at the upcoming conclusion of a semester, the College will report the student as enrolled on the final enrollment report for that term and will then manually update the student's enrollment status to withdrawn within a few days of the report’s submission, rather than waiting for the next scheduled enrollment transmission, to ensure timely and accurate reporting. Allegheny College will implement quarterly review of processes established to ensure compliance. This proactive approach will ensure ongoing compliance with federal regulations. In addition, Allegheny College is developing a secondary review process for each enrollment report submission to identify students with recent or pending enrollment status changes. This review will serve as a quality control check to ensure that students whose enrollment status has changed since the prior reporting period are accurately identified and updated, thereby strengthening oversight and ensuring timely and compliant reporting to NSLDS.

During the next Annual Performance Report (APR) reporting cycle, the AVP for Student Affairs, TRIO and Well-being as well as the respective TRIO program director will correct the inaccurately reported Project Entry Date and First Date of Postsecondary Enrollment for affected participants. These data elements are editable within the APR system and will be updated to align with official institutional and program records. Supporting Controls and Training. To support ongoing compliance, the Federal TRIO Programs have strengthened internal controls and will continue to conduct annual reviews of policies, procedures, and internal controls to ensure alignment with federal regulations and grant administration best practices. To ensure consistent implementation, monthly staff trainings are conducted using the TRIO General Guidelines. In addition, TRIO staff will continue to participate in local and national professional development opportunities to enhance grant management knowledge and standardize practices related to program administration and federal reporting. To ensure all APR reports are accurate moving forward, all APR reports will be completed prior to the deadline and the TRIO staff along with GSPAR will review for accuracy and completeness. Monitoring and Quality Assurance. To further strengthen compliance efforts, the AVP for Student Affairs, TRIO, and Well-being developed a comprehensive TRIO General Guidelines resource for program personnel. The TRIO General Guidelines will be updated to include new JCSU policies that relate to TRIO program management. Informed by Johnson C. Smith University institutional policies, federal TRIO regulations, and best practices from peer institutions, the guide addresses grant administration, record-keeping, participant eligibility, program services, fiscal management, personnel, and travel. TRIO personnel, in collaboration with the Assistant Vice President (AVP) for Student Affairs, TRIO, and Well-being, will continue to conduct regular reviews of participant files and program records to verify data accuracy and regulatory compliance prior to federal reporting. Sustained Oversight. The university will engage in continuous monitoring and evaluation to assess the effectiveness of these corrective actions, identify opportunities for improvement, and maintain full compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.

Corrective Action Plan: To address the deficiencies identified in Finding 2025-002, the University has implemented and is continuing to formalize a comprehensive corrective action strategy focused on strengthening disbursement scheduling, improving system integration, institutionalizing reconciliation and quality assurance processes, and enhancing cross-functional oversight of COD reporting. Primary Control Enhancements. A standardized disbursement and reporting calendar has been established, and system integration between Ellucian Colleague and Jenzabar has been strengthened to improve consistency of cost-of-attendance and disbursement data transmitted to COD. For the 2025–2026 academic year, the Office of Financial Aid and the Office of Student Accounts are disbursing Title IV aid on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. This schedule has been jointly approved and will continue to be followed by both departments to ensure consistency between disbursement activity and COD reporting. Supporting Controls and Training. Staff participate in targeted training related to COD reporting and cash management through NASFAA and FSA to reinforce knowledge of reporting timelines and requirements. Monitoring and Quality Assurance. A formal financial aid compliance calendar has been developed and institutionalized, outlining required quality assurance (QA) reviews by month, identifying responsible departments, and requiring documented supervisory sign-off. Reviews of COD reporting timelines are conducted twice per semester, and any discrepancies identified are documented, reviewed, and resolved in a timely manner. A systematic monthly reconciliation process has been instituted and is maintained involving the Office of Financial Aid, the Office of Student Accounts, and Budgets & Grants Accounting to ensure consistency across internal systems and COD reporting. Sustained Oversight. Any discrepancies identified through reconciliation are documented, communicated to relevant departments, and resolved, with formal supervisory sign-off required from the Assistant Director of Financial Aid and the Director of Budgets & Grants Accounting.

2025-004 REPORTING – CASH MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENT ACT WEST VIRGINIA STATE TREASURER’S OFFICE (WVSTO) Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.551/10.561/10.555/17.225/20.205/84.010/84.027/84.425/93.558/93.568/ 93.575/93.658/93.659/93.767/93.778/97.036 For the Annual Report filing deadline, December 31, 2025, WVSTO staff experienced multiple extenuating circumstances including training of newer staff members, medical treatments, illness, and the sudden unexpected passing of a close family member. Realizing that these circumstances would interfere with the timely submission of the Annual Report, an extension was requested on December 30, 2025, with the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and was granted through Friday, January 9, 2026. Regrettably, the extenuating circumstances were not fully resolved by that date, and the report was ultimately submitted on January 14, 2026. The WVSTO remained focused on completing the Report but overlooked the need to request an additional extension. WVSTO staff subsequently met with Angela Smith, Director of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and staff members Mary Bailey and Christopher Bush from the Revenue Collections Management Team. Director Smith confirmed there will be no penalties assessed due to the late filing. Additionally, WVSTO Banking Services staff will review the internal timeline of CMIA activities and procedures to ensure that future reporting is complete and submitted in a timely manner.

2025-009 REPORTING SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE, OTHER MATTERS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR (GO) Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 The GO fully believes that its documentation and support for obligations and expenditures incurred under its SLFRF funding is available and appropriate to support all items, though recognizes there were challenges and delays in its ability to provide the information to our auditors due to miscommunications and need to coordinate across multiple agencies. That said, the GO recognizes that certain errors were noted in the amounts reported in the quarterly expenditure reports and is committed to enhancing its processes going forward. In particular, as the new administration has had a chance to become more familiar with the reporting processes and its relationship with the third-party firm responsible for assisting the State’s creation and submission of its expenditure reporting. In particular, the GO will ensure that each quarterly expenditure report includes a clearly defined project schedule that allows ample time for the full review and confirmation of information and data included prior to the report’s due date. Additionally, the third-party firm has added additional resources to support the reporting periods and developed new templates to better track and summarize the information aggregated across all agencies spending SLFRF funds to better enable review and identification of any errors or questions.

2025-006 REPORTING – FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA) DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (DEP) Assistance Listing Number: 15.252 The finding states that the DEP did not report subaward information in accordance with reporting requirements. Specifically, two reports selected for testing were not reported in a timely manner. Based on the previous year’s finding, DEP implemented standard operating procedures on January 24, 2024, to ensure compliance with the FFATA reporting requirements. DEP concurs that the two reports found to be in noncompliance were, in fact, submitted after the required deadline. This oversight was primarily due to the understaffing of the Sub Grants Unit at the time these reports were to be submitted. DEP currently has sufficient standard operating procedures to ensure compliance with FFATA reporting. DEP will temporarily reassign staff responsibilities to ensure reporting compliance timelines are met until the current vacancy in the Sub Grants Unit can be filled to provide additional support to the existing staff.
2025-005 REPORTING – FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA) DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (DOE) Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.553/10.555/10.556/10.559/10.582 During FY 2025, the FFATA reporting system changed from the FSRS site to SAM.gov.

2025-005 REPORTING – FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA) DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (DOE) Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.553/10.555/10.556/10.559/10.582 During FY 2025, the FFATA reporting system changed from the FSRS site to SAM.gov. Many transactions that were originally entered into the FSRS site did not transfer over and had to be re-entered into SAM.gov, making those entries appear late. In addition, we had trouble getting the SAM.gov site to accept our FFATA entries. DOE worked with SAM.gov customer support to eventually get the issues resolved, but this also resulted in late reporting. Subsequent to the systematic issues being resolved, all FFATA reports have been completed timely and will continue to be reported timely going forward.
Finding number: 2025-001 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Education Programs: Student Financial Assistance Cluster AL #: 84.063 and 84.268 Award year: 2025 Corrective Action Plan: This issue was the result of human error, as established procedures were not followed in which a student withdrawal wa...
Finding number: 2025-001 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Education Programs: Student Financial Assistance Cluster AL #: 84.063 and 84.268 Award year: 2025 Corrective Action Plan: This issue was the result of human error, as established procedures were not followed in which a student withdrawal was not forwarded to the Registrar’s Office, preventing timely reporting to NSLDS. The student’s official withdrawal request was not transmitted by the office responsible for approving student leaves and withdrawals to the Registrar’s Office for processing, resulting in the absence of the required enrollment update in the student information system. In response, the Registrar’s Office has implemented a revised procedure for the handling of late leave requests and will coordinate directly with the Financial Aid Office to ensure accurate updates to the NSLDS. Staff in the Advising Office have been retrained on proper transmission protocols, and both the Registrar’s Office and Advising Office have instituted additional quality control and tracking measures to ensure that all leaves and withdrawals are processed and reported in a timely and compliant manner. Timeline for Implementation of Corrective Action Plan: The corrective action plan was implemented as of October 2025. Contact Person Megan Miller, University Registrar

To Whom It May Concern: This letter is in response to the audit finding identified in the annual district financial report for fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 issued by Leo Riley & Co. This letter addresses the compliance findings 2025-001 and 2025-002 regarding internal controls. Weston County School District #7 acknowledges that, due to the small office staff, it makes it impractical for the district to achieve full separation of the accounting functions in the business office. The District believes it has mitigated the risks associated with this limitation through use of various controls and segregation of functions to the greatest extent possible. The governing board is also involved in the approval process being the final authority over accounts payable expenditures. The District utilizes the accounting manual as provided by the Wyoming Department of Education. The business office staff, district administrative staff, and the school board are fully aware of the limitations in this area and have a heightened awareness when performing their duties to further mitigate risks.
