Finding: 2025-001 Reimbursable federal grant revenue Responsible Person: Cecilia Frerotte Title: Contract CFO Phone Number: 617-261-8186 Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026 Corrective Action: Management will enhance grant review and reconciliation procedures to ensure that reimbursable expenditures incurred under cost-reimbursement grants are properly recognized as contribution revenue and federal expenditures in the appropriate period. These procedures will include a grant-by-grant reconciliation of reimbursement requests, refundable advances, award terms, general ledger balances, amounts reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and amounts reported in all other grant-related compliance reports, as applicable. Management will also formalize and expand supervisory review and approval controls over all grant compliance reporting and year end financial reporting, including the SEFA. In addition, the Board plans to increase the size of the Audit Committee to include members with substantial experience in auditing and grant program oversight. The Audit Committee will meet regularly with both the external auditors and the outsourced accounting firm to provide enhanced governance and oversight of grant accounting and compliance matters.

At the end of the 2023–24 award year, responsibility for generating Return of Title IV (R2T4) withdrawal lists transitioned from the Business Office to the Financial Aid Office.

At the end of the 2023–24 award year, responsibility for generating Return of Title IV (R2T4) withdrawal lists transitioned from the Business Office to the Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Office began producing both official withdrawal and unofficial (non-passing grade) reports through Ellucian Banner. Because the two reports produced nearly identical student listings, it was assumed that the Banner-generated unofficial withdrawal report was effectively identifying all students who had received non-passing grades.During an internal audit conducted at the end of the Spring 2025 semester, the University identified one student who had failed all courses and was not included on either of the R2T4 lists. Upon further review, the issue was traced to a reporting limitation within Banner that excluded some students with all failing grades from the population used for R2T4 review. To resolve this, the Financial Aid Office coordinated with the Registrar’s Office to obtain a complete list of students who officially withdrew and students with all non-passing grades once final grades were submitted. R2T4 calculations were subsequently performed for applicable students identified in this additional list. Since Spring 2025, the University has institutionalized this revised procedure. The Registrar’s Office now provides the Financial Aid Office with a list of all students with non-passing grades at the end of each semester once grades are submitted. The Financial Aid Office reviews both reports to identify potential unofficial withdrawals and performs R2T4 calculations as required. To strengthen oversight and prevent future omissions during staffing transitions or process changes, the University will: • Document the revised R2T4 identification and review process in the Financial Aid operations manual. • Clearly assign responsibility for report generation, review, and follow-up between the Registrar’s Office and Financial Aid Office. • Implement a quarterly internal cross-check to confirm all required R2T4 reviews are completed. Person(s) Responsible: Associate Director of Financial Aid and Director of Financial Aid. Correction Date: January 31, 2026. This issue is resolved.

The University has made substantial progress toward completing the remaining elements required under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and aligning its program with the FTC Safeguards Rule. Full implementation timelines are primarily constrained by current staffing capacity within ITS/Cybersecurity and Legal, as well as certain technical tool limitations (e.g., data discovery and validation). Despite these constraints, notable progress has been achieved across the required FTC Safeguards Program elements as summarized below: • Element 1 – Designate a Qualified Individual: Completed. Qualified individual appointed to implement and supervise the company’s information security program; reporting mechanisms to the Board established. Completion is confirmed based on oversight and execution of subsequent program elements. • Element 2 – Conduct a Risk Assessment: Completed. Initial risk assessment conducted to identify reasonably foreseeable threats; controls and priorities for Elements 3–9 is being guided by this assessment. • Element 3 – Access Controls & Data Classification: 70% complete. Policies finalized; multi- factor authentication (MFA) implemented; initial asset inventory completed. Data owner assignments and detailed access reviews are in progress. • Element 4 – Vulnerability Management: Complete. Latest penetration testing identified no critical findings. • Element 5 – Information Security Policies: Drafted and pending Legal review; Board acceptance scheduled for March 2026. • Element 6 – Third-Party Oversight: 70% complete. Policy and workflow developed; Board acceptance scheduled for March 2026. • Element 7 – Periodic Risk Assessments: 80% complete. Updated risk assessment currently in progress. • Element 8 – Incident Response Plan: 90% complete. Final reporting and approval scheduled for March 2026. • Element 9 – Qualified Individual & Board Reporting: 90% complete.

Policy drafted, complete comprehensive program, formal procedures and additional trainings still required. Next Steps: Remaining actions will be completed as Legal and Board approvals are obtained and staffing capacity allows. HPU will continue to develop and retain documentation supporting the completion and implementation of each safeguard element, as prescribed by GLBA. Periodic internal assessments of the Information Security Program will be scheduled following full implementation, with consideration given to engaging an independent third party for future reviews. Person(s) Responsible: Information Security Officer; Vice President of Operations and Chief Information Officer. Targeted Correction Date: March 31, 2026.

COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO MUNICIPALITY OF CATAÑO Corrective Action Plan For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Audit Report: Reports on Compliance and Internal Control in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards and OMB Super Circular Uniform Guidance Audit Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Fiscal Year: 2024-2025 Principal Executive: Hon. Julio Alicea Vasallo, Mayor Contact Person: Mrs. Honoris Machado, Finance Director Phone: (787) 788-0404 Original Finding Number: 2025-003 Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: We concur with the finding. Corrective Action: Corrective Action Implemented 1. Request for Technical Assistance Technical assistance was requested from the corresponding state agency and all municipal components involved in the process, with the purpose of: • Establishing a structured work plan. • Aligning compliance processes. • Clearly defining the documentation required for quarterly reports. • Reviewing the processes of the Fiscal Monitoring System Portal. • Incorporating technical recommendations issued by the agency. 2. Measures Adopted by This Office As a result of the technical assistance, the following corrective actions were implemented: • Development of a Required Documentation Checklist to standardize the collection of information. • Clear definition of the scope of collaborative work among offices. • Formal establishment of tasks, roles, and responsibilities. • Assignment and monitoring of the limited staff designated by the office. • Update of the Fiscal Monitoring System Portal to grant access to newly authorized personnel. Results Achieved As a result of the implementation of the corrective action plan: • The required information from the various municipal offices was collected completely and in a timely manner. • The quarterly report was submitted by the established deadline (01/15/2026). • The agency validated compliance (01/30/2026). • The disbursement of funds was successfully received (02/04/2026). Evidence of Effectiveness • Compliance with the established deadline. • Confirmation of receipt and approval of the report. • Disbursement processed without findings or additional requirements. • Strengthened interdepartmental coordination. • A documented and standardized process for future quarterly cycles. Standardization and Prevention • The Checklist was adopted as an official tool of the process. • The assignment of roles and responsibilities was formally established. • Access to the Fiscal Monitoring System Portal is kept up to date. • Continuous monitoring was established to ensure compliance in future quarters. Observation Regarding Human Resources Although the corrective action proved effective and allowed for the timely submission of the report and receipt of the disbursement, the personnel currently assigned to the process also support multiple additional programs. While the situation was corrected following internal reorganization, the shared operational workload could pose a risk to the long-term sustainability of the control. It is recommended that the allocation of additional human resources be evaluated to strengthen operational continuity and prevent recurrence of the previously identified issue. Conclusion and Closure The corrective action implemented proved to be effective and sustainable, eliminating the deficiencies identified in the process of collecting and submitting quarterly reports. Regulatory compliance and strengthened administrative management are evidenced, ensuring continuity in the timely receipt of future disbursements. Implementation Date: Fiscal Year 2025-2026. Responsible persons: • Person responsible for the implementation: Mr. Carlos Flores, Federal Program’s Subdirector • Person responsible for the supervision: Mrs. Yolanda Maldonado, Federal Program’s Director

We also recommend that the University evaluate its internal controls to ensure that federal awards are properly identified as such at inception. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: OSU is implementing a campus-wide Administrative Modernization Program (AMP) to update technology, improve efficiencies, and ensure a comprehensive internal control environment. This modernization includes redesigning the university’s administrative and grant processes, including budget development, payroll lifecycle, employee recruitment, grant effort reporting, procurement, and others. A primary aspect of this optimization is a transition of the university’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system from Banner to Workday effective July 1, 2026. To reflect this system transition, OSU’s actions in response to the finding will be taken in two stages: 1. For FY26, the Division of Research and Innovation (DRI) will run reports and screen for anomalies and mismatches of revenue type and fund type to identify awards with the correct federal fund when a federal program is identified with an ALN#. The screening will take place before the fiscal year end, allowing time for corrections to be made in Banner while the fiscal year is still active. 2. For FY27 and beyond, rather than a warning, critical custom validations will be required and established in Workday as follows: • Any award that uses an ALN# also must include the appropriate Fund and Revenue Category worktags on the award line • Any award with a federal sponsor or federal prime sponsor must have ALN# entered • Any award with a federal sponsor or federal prime sponsor must include the appropriate Fund and Revenue Category worktag on the award line Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Jennifer Creighton, Associate Vice President for Research Administration, Finance and Operations Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Corrective action to screen for anomalies and mismatches of revenue type and fund type in Banner to ensure awards are identified with the correct federal fund will occur by June 30, 2026. The establishment of custom validations in Workday to ensure identification of federal awards will occur and be ongoing with the new system implementation after July 1, 2026.

Student Credit Balance Exceeding Fourteen Days Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing, we identified one instance in which a student’s credit balance remained outstanding beyond the required 14‑day timeframe. As a result of this condition, the College was not in compliance with the Uniform Guidance requirements governing the timely disbursement of student credit balances. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College implement procedures to ensure all voided refunds are reviewed and resolved within the fourteen day period to ensure there are no credit balances that are unaddressed. Corrective Action. The College is strengthening its procedures to ensure student credit balances are processed, refunded, or returned within the federally required 14‑day timeframe. When a student requests a stop payment, hold, or void, the student must now email both the Business Office and Financial Aid Office from their official MCC student email account. Requests must include the type of action needed and the reason for it. The Directors of Accounting and Financial Aid, or designated authorized personnel, review and approve each request before any action is taken. The Business Office then issues the stop payment, hold, or void in accordance with internal procedures, while Financial Aid returns funds to the appropriate agency when applicable. For internal staff‑initiated stop or void actions, employees must email the Directors with justification explaining why the request is being initiated by staff rather than the student. Both offices collaborate to determine appropriate action, ensure the disbursement is adjusted, coordinate the timing of any required return of funds, and communicate updates to the student. These procedures ensure all credit balance transactions are processed within the 14‑day limit and are documented consistently to maintain federal compliance. Responsible Person. Scott Kemmer-Slater, Director of Accounting and Jennifer Simson, Director of Financial Aid, jointly. Anticipated Completion Date. June 30, 2026

Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP) Reporting Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. It was noted during our testing of the FISAP that the College did not have support for one of the eight key line items (information on eligible aid applicants) identified in the compliance supplement as critical information. As a result, the College is not in compliance with the Department of Education requirements that state the FISAP must be accurately reporting information. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College review their policies and procedures surrounding FISAP reporting. Corrective Action. The College is improving its documentation and retention processes to ensure all information used in preparing the annual FISAP report is fully supported and available for review. Moving forward, all data underlying the eight key line items identified in the compliance supplement will be saved, documented, and stored in a consistent and accessible manner. Information obtained from other departments will be retained in its original format, and any data extracted from PowerFAIDS or related systems will be saved at the time of report preparation. By implementing these documentation and retention procedures as standard operating practice, the College ensures FISAP submissions are accurate, verifiable, and compliant with federal audit requirements. Responsible Person. Jennifer Stimson, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date. June 30, 2026

Ineligible Student Received Title IV Funding Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing, we noted that a student successfully appealed their academic dismissal in the Summer 2022–2023 semester. The student did not receive Title IV funding during that term and subsequently failed both attempted courses. Despite the lack of demonstrated academic improvement following the appeal, the student was awarded Title IV funding in the Spring 2024–2025 semester based on the appeal granted during the 2022–2023 academic year. As a result of this condition, one student received Title IV funding that who was not eligible based on the criteria outlined in the College's satisfactory academic policy (SAP). Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College implement a formal review process to verify that students who were previously dismissed and granted an appeal in a prior academic year have demonstrated the required academic improvement before receiving subsequent Title IV funding, or alternatively, obtain a new appeal determination. Corrective Action. Management acknowledges this finding and is implementing strengthened Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) review procedures to ensure students who previously appealed an academic dismissal are properly evaluated before receiving Title IV funding. The Financial Aid Office is now working closely with the Registrar to ensure both Title‑IV and non‑Title‑IV students undergo appropriate SAP monitoring. Information Technology is developing a report that identifies students by financial‑aid track status, allowing Financial Aid to review aid‑receiving students while the Registrar evaluates all others. Students who require SAP follow‑up are contacted by the appropriate office, and SAP appeal forms are reviewed under updated criteria to ensure students demonstrate academic improvement before additional aid is awarded. These steps ensure the College remains compliant with federal SAP requirements and prevents ineligible students from receiving Title IV funds. Responsible Person. Jennifer Stimson, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date. June 30, 2026
