Corrective Action Plan (CAP): The College operates under a just- in-time (JIT) cash management model for Title IV funds, in which the disbursement date reported to COD and the date funds are credited to the student's ledger are intended to occur on the same day. Under this model, the CMN draws down Pell grant funds in conjunction with disbursing those funds to the student, rather than disbursing from institutional funds in advance of drawdown. This approach is designed to ensure the College does not hold excess cash on hand, consistent with cash management requirements under 34 CFR 668.164. The College has reviewed the six disbursements identified in this finding and confirmed that, in each instance, the COD submission was processed on schedule, but the corresponding batch process that credits funds to the student ledger ran four days later than intended, resulting in a misalignment between the reported disbursement date and the actual date the student was credited. The College has reviewed the timing and sequencing of COD submissions and ledger transactions with the Bursar's office and the Financial Aid office to ensure both are scheduled and performed on the same day. The existing weekly reconciliation process between Financial Aid and the Bursar's office will be expanded to include a verification that the disbursement date on the ledger matches the COD disbursement date. The College notes that this finding reflects a single disbursement- timing discrepancy across the sample, a reduction in both scope and recurrence compared to findings identified in prior audit periods, and reflects continued improvement in the College's cash management and COD reporting controls.

Corrective Action Plan (CAP): The College has identified that the dates of Return of Title IV Calculations and amounts (in one case) were out of compliance. The return calculations for both students identified through this audit have been completed and corrected to reflect the correct return amounts, if appropriate. Student 1: Student initiated an official withdrawal on October 5, 2024, and the withdrawal was processed on that date. A notification of student status was not received in the financial aid office in order to trigger an R2T4 calculation. This student's calculation was performed at the end of the fall 2024 term with the end of term processing, resulting in 89 days passing from notification to completion of R2T4. This instance resulted in an automatic trigger being built into the student information system, which sends an email to the financial aid office for each student when their status changes from active to withdrawal. Student 2: Student initiated an official withdrawal on February 13, 2025, and the withdrawal was processed on that date. The R2T4 calculation was not performed on this student until the end of spring 2025 term processing, resulting in 96 days passing from notification to completion of R2T4. Due to delayed calculations on these students, CMN will continue to work with financial aid staff and the registrar's office to streamline communication on withdrawals and students who complete the term with all F/NP grades, as indicated in CMN policy. CMN has already worked with Anthology (student information system) to provide electronic triggers to the financial aid office when a student status changes from active to drop/withdrawal. Additionally, Enrollment Management notifies all faculty by email at the beginning of the term and again prior to final grades being submitted that electronic notification must be sent by the faculty to financial aid in order to alert the financial aid office of the date of last academic engagement for students who earn an For NP grade. For the current audit period, the Director of Enrollment Management and the Financial Aid Coordinator work together to review a final grade report for all students and identify those who need R2T4 calculations based on that review. Both the director and coordinator sign the working documents to indicate that it has been reviewed by both parties. We will continue with this process and will refine as necessary, but we anticipate that this will resolve the issue of calculations not having been performed on students with all F/NP grades at the end of the term.

Corrective Action Plan (CAP): The College has identified that the dates of enrollment submissions and status changes for the two students identified in the audit were out of compliance (92 days and 66 days). The statuses of both students are correct with NSLDS. Student 1: Student earned all F grades during the fall 2024 trimester. The student's status was changed to withdrawal in the internal student information system on January 17, 2025. This change was not communicated to NSLDS until the March 2025 enrollment report, due to issues with the February 2025 enrollment report. Student 2: Student was a non-returner in the spring 2025 trimester. The student's status was changed to withdrawal in the internal student information system on January 21, 2025. This change was not communicated to NSLDS until the March 2025 enrollment report, due to issues with the February 2025 enrollment report. The College acknowledges this repeat finding and recognizes that, although the gap was narrowed days beyond tolerance, the prior corrective action plan did not fully resolve the underlying cause of late NSLDS reporting. The previous plan relied primarily on manual identification and status-change processes within the student information system, which remained vulnerable to human error and processing delays. To address this gap, the college will implement a secondary review checkpoint that flags students with status changes in the student information system to ensure timely transmission to NSLDS. To prevent additional recurrences, the College has implemented a monthly reconciliation procedure between the Registrar's Office and the Financial Aid Office, replacing the prior plan's reliance on manual status-chang communication alone. Each month, the Registrar's Office provides a student status change report to the Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Office then reconciles each status change against the institution's NSLDS submission history to confirm timely and accurate reporting. This added verification step, paired with documented recordkeeping of each reconciliation cycle, directly addresses the root cause of the repeat finding by introducing a cross-office check that does not depend solely on a single manual status update being correctly carried through to NSLDS reporting.

Special Test and Provisions-Monthly Board Financial Reporting and Budgetary Comparisons. Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend that management establish formal procedures requiring the preparation and review of monthly budget-to-actual financial reports and ensure that accurate financial statements are presented to the Board of Directors on a regular basis. Documentation of financial reports presented, discussions held, and actions taken should be maintained in meeting records to demonstrate compliance with Head Start governance and financial oversight requirements. Organization’s Response: Management acknowledges the finding related to governance reporting requirements not being consistently presented to the Board during fiscal year 2025 in report form. The Board had more robust discussions regarding financial statements, concentrated around the time of drawdowns and the use of funds. Effective 2026, management will implement a structured monthly reporting process to ensure the Board and Finance Committee receive timely financial statements, budget-to-actual reports, grant expenditure reports, and other required compliance updates. Board meeting agendas will include financial oversight as a standing item, and meeting minutes document the Board’s review and acceptance. The Finance Director and CEO are responsible for monitoring compliance with this process to ensure the condition does not recur.

Finding Number: 2025-001 Anticipated Completion Date: 6/30/26 Responsible Contact Person: Bradley L McCain, CFO Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding. The Association's annual Federal Financial Report (FFR) was submitted 22 days after the required due date, and the semi-annual FFR was submitted 65 days after the required due date. The delays resulted from staffing disruptions, including employee turnover and an extended employee leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which impacted the Association's ability to complete and submit required reports within the prescribed deadlines. To address this issue, the Association has strengthened its internal controls over Federal reporting by establishing a formal reporting calendar that identifies all required Federal reports, due dates, responsible individuals, and internal review deadlines. The Director of Grant Compliance is responsible for preparing and submitting Federal financial reports, while the Executive Director of Data and Grants Administration performs a final review to ensure completeness, accuracy, and timely submission. Management has also implemented cross-training and documented reporting procedures to reduce the risk of future delays caused by staff absences or turnover. Internal due dates have been established in advance of Federal deadlines to allow sufficient time for review and submission. The effectiveness of these corrective actions has already been demonstrated, as the subsequent semi-annual Federal Financial Report was submitted by the required deadline. Compliance with Federal reporting deadlines will be monitored on an ongoing basis.

Finding No. 2025-001: Missing Deadlines for Recertifications and Inspections (Significant Deficiency) Corrective Action Plan: Our goal is to address the underlying cause of the delayed recertifications and inspections identified in Finding 2025-001. Regarding the recertifications, my analysis of the delays indicates that our Housing Voucher team remains understaffed. We have a five-person Housing Voucher Team with well over 900 vouchers to administer across a variety of different programs, including HCV, PBV, Mainstream, VASH, Foster Youth, Port-In1, etc. Additionally, we have 80 public housing units and are administering an additional 80 project-based tenant-protection vouchers in partnership with Montgomery Housing Partnership (MHP) for a senior-housing rehab project (Bethany House) begun this year (2026). In short, we need to expand our housing voucher team, especially since only one member of the team, Eve Garcia Jiminez, specializes in port-ins. Additionally, while Ms. Garcia Jiminez and Ms. Rebecca Niaba, the Housing-Voucher Team Manager, both have considerable experience with HUD programs, the remaining three team members – who handle resident casework, recertifications, waitlist management, inspections, etc. – are relatively junior, all with less than five years of experience. Since RHE’s leadership turnover in late August 2025, we have attempted to supplement the Housing Voucher Team with interns from our YouthBuild program. While this has helped somewhat lessen the burden, the RHE Management Team has determined that we need at least one additional mid-career Housing-Voucher Team member (minimum 5+ years of experience managing HUD voucher programs). We are considering a variety of options, including recruiting a Deputy for the Housing Voucher Team or promoting one of our Team Members to Deputy Director and backfilling a mid-career position. We have also begun discussions with WorkSource Montgomery and AmeriCorps Maryland to potentially supplement the initial costs of onboarding new Voucher Team members. For the inspections finding, we have been having discussions since the RHE leadership turnover about the performance of our current vendor, Gilson Housing Partners. They have been increasingly unreliable since we selected them as our inspections vendor in February 2025. Just in the last few weeks, we havedetermined that we need to terminate the vendor, particularly after we received a video of an inspection where the Gilson representative spent approximately 80 seconds in the unit, never left the entryway, and only asked the resident a few questions before leaving. We have already received one proposal from Archer-Greenwood Companies and expect 2-3 more proposals in the next few weeks, at which point we will submit a notice of termination to Gilson. Responsible Person: James Hedrick, Interim Executive Director Anticipated Completion Date: Recertifications & Voucher Team Hiring - AmeriCorps Maryland – Applications due July 1, 2026. Participants’ terms begin August/September 2026 and last for one year – extendable as full-time employee after the AmeriCorps subsidy. - Housing-Voucher Team Deputy Director/Mid-Career Port-In Specialist – The position requires a particular set of skills and experience in a specialized area. Recruitment and advertisement are expected to take some time. Advertising for the position will begin late Summer 2026, hiring expected before year-end 2026. Inspections Vendor Replacement - Have already received proposals from one potential inspection replacement firm: Archer- Greenwood. We have reached out to additional vendors and expect proposals within the next few weeks. We will send a letter of termination and fully transition to the new vendor by the end of FY2026 (September 30, 2026).

Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Criteria or Specific Requirement: County management should be aware if the need to have adequate policies and procedures in place for timely reimbursement requests for highway projects. Condition: Policies and procedures in place for timely reimbursement requests will ensure that the County is receiving funds it is owed. In addition, this will ensure there are no cash flow shortages and increase opportunities for investment earnings. Cause: The County had one highway project for which costs were incurred in October and November 2024, and the related reimbursement was submitted and approved in June 2025. Possible Effect: By submitting untimely reimbursement requests, the County is not receiving funds it is owed in a timely manner, which has the potential to cause cash flow shortages. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend County management review internal controls currently in place and design and implement procedures to request reimbursements in a timelier fashion and to submit requests for reimbursements on at least a quarterly basis. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The County will implement procedures to ensure timely submission of reimbursement requests. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2026.

The Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) agrees with the conditions and recommendations of this finding. From PSJC’s perspective, this finding includes prior year (FY2020) approved expenditures not reported in FY2025 SF-425. We believe there was a transparency gap, as the discrepancies between the SF-425 reports and the SEFA expenditure totals should have been identified, disclosed and brought to our attention in prior audit engagements. Overall, we concur with the findings. The SEFA was adjusted in fiscal 2020 for expenditures that were not approved, however we did not capture the approved expenditures in the following years on SF425. Management will ensure that SEFA expenditure and SF 425 cash disbursements are aligned. We will perform first and second level review of the SF425 and SEFA. Management also concurs with the fact that the subrecipient passthrough on the SEFA should be non-district agencies. We will review the SEFA and report only non-district agencies as pass through to subrecipients.

The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) concurs with this finding. FFATA Reporting Compliance: In February 2026, the DBH Grants Management Office created an FFATA procedure to ensure compliance with timely FFATA reporting. As a result of this finding, the procedure has been updated to report bi-weekly rather than monthly to ensure reporting under 30 days. The GMO Director will also provide continuous training to staff outside of the GMO to ensure staffing will not become a barrier, as experienced in early 2026. As of June 1, 2026, all FFATA entries as of the May 25th purchase order (R071) report have been reported. Additionally, as we plan for the forthcoming electronic grants management system (eGMS) we’re in discussion to add a report feature that will provide needed info for FFATA entry i.e., UEI, FAIN, award amount and purchase order # to automate the process. SEFA Reporting Compliance: Prior to the submission of the SEFA, the grant expenditures will be reviewed with the Accounting Officer, The AFO, and the Grants Program Manager for a detailed review of the SEFA to confirm expenditures are correctly categorized by fund and grants, reconciles to the DIFS R019 report and reflects the amount expended for sub-recipients. Effective FY26, subrecipient totals are uniquely identified with an account number that will reflect in the R019 report as a subset of total expenditures. This report will be used to complete the SEFA going forward.

The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) agrees with the findings and will put controls in place to resolve the issue. On May 20, 2026, DBH trained all grants staff on how to use combo codes in the timekeeping system (Peoplesoft) so that individuals whose time is split across grants or split between grant and local projects can record their time to each funding source. This new process will be rolled out starting June 12, 2026.
