Management acknowledges the delay in submitting the audit report due to staff capacity limitations. To prevent recurrence, they have established a formal year-end audit planning calendar with interim documentation deadlines and have implemented a structured, pre-audit check-list process to ensure all documentation is finalized and reviewed at least 30 days prior to the deadline.

Views of responsible officials Omissions in the SEFA maintained during 2025 primarily pertain to construction lending by the City of New York’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development that utilized underlying federal funding. Management inadvertently only presented the construction lending in the years of expenditure. Such expenditures were duly reported upon and audited during the years of expenditures and were maintained within the financial records of Southwest 141 Street Housing Development Fund Company, Inc. but were subsequently omitted from the SEFA in the years following. Management concurs with Finding No. 2025-001 and, as of March 2026, management has enhanced its internal controls and augmented its personnel to ensure that such reporting under Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards is compliant, complete, and accurate for the 2025 SEFA and going forward.

FINDING 2025-017 Name of Responsible Individual: Director of Post Award Compliance and Training Senior Associate Vice President of Financial Strategy Corrective Action: In response to the auditor’s recommendation to strengthen internal controls and ensure timely submission of the Single Audit Report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, Howard University will enhance cross collaboration across the University to improve audit readiness. During the May 2025 transition from the Grants and Contracts Accounting Office to the Sponsored Awards Office, the University experienced significant staff turnover and a loss of institutional knowledge, which contributed to audit readiness challenges. Since that time, the University has focused on stabilization efforts. The Office of Research Sponsored Programs has been restructured and is now almost fully staffed. The University will be establishing monthly check ins with key stakeholders to ensure adherence to a compliance calendar with clearly defined roles and responsibilities across core compliance areas. Additionally, the University has hired a Director of Post Award Compliance and Training to lead audit readiness efforts, strengthen internal controls, and support ongoing monitoring and compliance throughout the fiscal year. Anticipated Completion Date: March 31, 2027

FINDING 2025-014 Name of Responsible Individual: Assistant Vice President for Post Award Corrective Action: The University initiated the Effort Certification process to capture the full calendar year 2025 in April 2026. This represents a one-time extended certification period designed to include previously uncertified periods that had concluded, specifically the second half of FY25 (January–June 2025) and the first half of FY26 (July–December 2025). In May 2025, the non-accounting functions of Grants and Contracts Accounting at Howard University were transitioned to the Office of Research, Sponsored Programs Office. During this organizational transition, the University prioritized the completion and accuracy of all costing allocations to ensure payroll data was complete and reliable for effort certification purposes. This period was also utilized to identify and resolve any backlog of costing allocations and award charges and stabilize the Office of Research. Addressing these items ensured that effort reflected complete and accurate payroll activity, thereby enabling Principal Investigators to appropriately review and certify their effort. The Sponsored Programs Office (SPO) now leads post-award financial oversight and collaborates with Human Resources (HR) and Finance to ensure designated personnel are identified and granted system access to enter costing allocations and labor cost transfers in Workday. In addition, in response to the auditor’s recommendation to enhance internal controls and ensure timely monitoring of effort reporting, Howard University has implemented the following corrective actions: Hired Dedicated Departmental Support – Six College Research Administrators (CRAs) and an Associate Director of CRA’s were hired to support high-volume research colleges. The CRAs ensure timely and accurate labor cost transfers, effort certification, and costing allocation entries during award setup and throughout the award lifecycle. Enhanced Effort Reporting Process – SPO will lead improvements to the effort certification process, including: • Advance communication to PIs, CRAs, and Deans outlining certification deadlines • Clear guidance on when labor cost transfers may occur outside the certification cycle • Reinforcement that all effort changes must be reflected in the effort system to ensure alignment with payroll. • Training – Targeted training will be delivered to Principal Investigators, CRAs, and other research stakeholders to support consistent application of policies and procedures. Monitoring and Oversight – Monthly and quarterly reconciliation reports will be developed to track and validate timely and accurate payroll allocations for research personnel. Anticipated Completion Date: August 30, 2026

FINDING 2025-010 Names of Responsible Individuals: Associate Director for Compliance, Enrollment Management Associate Director of Loans Systems Analyst, Enrollment Management Assistant Director for Compliance, Financial Aid Loan Coordinator Corrective Action: Beginning with the Fall 2024 semester, Howard University transitioned from using Banner to using Workday as the University’s ERP. As part of the transition to Workday, Howard spent several years configuring Workday to meet the needs of the institution and testing to ensure once the University went “live” during Fall 2024 there would be no configuration issues that affect compliance. It is not possible for Financial Aid to fully test the COD disbursement reporting process prior to "go live" due to the inability to send test disbursement files to COD for reporting purposes. Once Howard disbursed loans and was able to send actual disbursement files to COD, the Enrollment Management Systems Analyst worked to identify and resolve outstanding issues. Initial reporting of disbursements to COD began on August 6, 2025. When the first disbursement file was sent to COD, the EM Systems Analyst identified the file schema sending out disbursements from Workday to COD kept rejecting the entire file. The Systems Analyst worked with the University Workday consultants to resolve the rejections and was able to correct the issue on August 28th. The cause of the rejected files between Workday and COD was an underlying Workday system issue that was corrected an updated released by Workday. There were issues in Workday regarding the school code that were identified which delayed a small cohort of students’ disbursements from being reported to COD. The Howard University enrollment school code is 00144800 and NSC required a “dummy” school code to be used for enrollment reporting of Graduate and Professional students. This “dummy” code was 00144880. A small cohort of students had loans that were rejected due to Workday reporting the 00144880 school code to COD instead of the 00144800 school code. Reconciliation identified the students and once the enrollment code sent to COD was corrected in Workday, the loan was accepted. The cost of attendance variance was a result of unfamiliarity with the Workday system. After a student's aid has been originated and disbursed, Workday will not automatically send the disbursement file back out to COD, which was not an issue Howard encountered when using Ellucian Banner. In Workday, when a student’s cost of attendance changes due to cost of attendance increase or the student’s housing status must be adjusted, there is manual intervention required. Students who have a change to their cost of attendance need to have a flag checked off in the origination record. This will allow the updated cost of attendance to be reported in COD when the next disbursement file is sent to COD. The current process is when a student's cost of attendance is manually adjusted, the flag for the record to be sent to COD is checked off in the origination record. The Associate Director for Compliance has completed internal compliance reviews testing whether disbursements are being sent to COD within 14 days. Thus far, no issues have been found in these reviews. Files are transmitted to COD at least four times per week and rejected disbursements are worked to meet the 14-day disbursement reporting timeline. A compliance review has been initiated to ensure the cost of attendance reported out of Workday matches the cost of attendance in COD. Howard University staff meet daily with Workday consultants from AVAAP to provide feedback and discuss any current issues experienced in Workday. The goal of these meetings is to have a constant flow of information on what is working effectively and what is not working effectively within Workday. This process is documented and staff are trained. Anticipated Completion Date: The underlying Workday system issue resulting in the COD disbursement file being rejected was internally resolved on August 28, 2024. The Fall 2024 update released by Workday in late-September/October 2024 corrected the system from the Workday side. The Systems Analyst receives an error when there is a rejected COD file, and the correction of these files is an ongoing process. Howard staff worked with the University’s Workday consultant to resolve the incorrect school code reported to COD, causing individual students’ disbursements to be rejected. This incorrect school code reported to COD was resolved for the 2025-2026 academic year by changing the configuration of disbursements to ignore any school codes other than 00144800. The Associate Director for Compliance sends a list of rejected loan disbursements to the Financial Aid Loans Team so these rejects can be worked on and resolved in 5-7 business days. The cost of attendance variance was identified in Fall 2025 and the change in the process when a student has a manual cost of attendance increase was implemented at that time as well. The compliance reviews for cost of attendance and COD reporting will take place twice per semester and any issues identified will be resolved to avoid future findings.
FINDING 2025-007 Names of Responsible Individuals: Associate Director for Compliance, Enrollment Management AVP for Finance & Bursar Director of Student Billing and Engagement Associate Director for Compliance, Financial Aid Assistant Controller Director of Accounting Corrective Action: Federal Perk...
FINDING 2025-007 Names of Responsible Individuals: Associate Director for Compliance, Enrollment Management AVP for Finance & Bursar Director of Student Billing and Engagement Associate Director for Compliance, Financial Aid Assistant Controller Director of Accounting Corrective Action: Federal Perkins Loan program records are traditionally paper based, as a result, these school records can often be inconsistent. Due to inconsistent data transfer during Howard University’s move from Campus Partners to ECSI (Educational Computer Systems, Inc.) as the Perkins Loan servicer after the 2013-2014 academic year, the University’s Perkins disbursement data did not match the records Howard had from ECSI. In 2022, the University began to work with ECSI on converting the Howard internal records to match ECSI’s records. In mid-April 2026, ECSI notified Howard that the conversion of ECSI Perkins disbursement data to Howard disbursement data was complete. Currently, the adjustments ECSI made to match Howard are being reviewed by the Associate Director for Compliance in Enrollment Management, and feedback will be provided to ECSI. Matching Perkins Loan data between Howard and ECSI will strengthen the data consistency on the FISAP. The consistency of Perkins Loan data between ECSI and Howard University on the FISAP will also assist in strengthening internal controls for determination of the Cash on Hand amount. ECSI works with schools whose general ledger Cash on Hand does not match what is on the FISAP in Part III. It was conveyed by ECSI that it is more important to have awareness of what data does not match and why than to have parity. After the conversion of Perkins data from ECSI has been approved, the Associate Director for Compliance will meet with Director of Accounting to begin the process of reviewing Perkins wind-down procedures and the accounting related. Howard University is in the process of liquidating the Federal Perkins Program. Due to staffing changes, the Director of Student Billing and Engagement, is now responsible for the Federal Perkins Loan liquidation process. The University is working with ECSI and the Department of Education to complete the liquidation. As part of the liquidation process, the Director of Billing and Engagement contacted the Department of Education to determine the remaining steps for Perkins liquidation. 13 Perkins Loans remaining need to be assigned. Howard is in the process of determining if these loans can be assigned to ED or if the school will need to purchase them. Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2026, is the target date for the Federal Perkins Loan program to be completely liquidated at Howard University. All but 13 Federal Perkins Loans have been assigned, and the Bursar is working on sending credit balances to Accounts Payable for payment for those Perkins Loans that can be assigned. The conversion of ECSI records to match Howard internal records was completed in April 2026 and final will be completed by May 2026. Once the conversion is approved by Howard, the June 30, 2026 Perkins Annual Report from ECSI will match what Howard has in their Perkins records. This will enable this Perkins Annual Report to be used on the 2027-2028 FISAP due on September 30, 2026.

All donor‑restricted balances were reviewed to identify instances where restrictions had been satisfied but not released timely. Required releases were recorded to correct net asset classifications in the general ledger. Where available, supporting documentation (e.g., expenditure reports, grant terms, and donor agreements) was acquired and reviewed to substantiate the timing of releases. Management plans to enhance controls over donor restriction tracking by implementing clearer procedures for identifying restriction satisfaction, improving cross-department communication, and strengthening review controls to ensure timely and accurate recording of donor restriction releases. Auditor’s Evaluation of the Corrected Action Plan: Wesleyan College’s response was appropriate for immediate remediation for the current affected period. Furthermore, the plan for preventative actions appears to be appropriately focused to achieve timely and documented of releases related to satisfied purpose or time conditions.

Wesleyan College management has completed all outstanding reconciliations for the affected periods. Reconciling items noted during the delayed reconciliations were reviewed, investigated, and resolved or appropriately aged and documented. Evidence of supervisory review has been added to completed reconciliations where missing. Management is in the process of developing and implementing remediation and preventative actions, including strengthening reconciliation policies, assigning clear ownership and escalation procedures, and implementing monitoring controls to ensure reconciliations are prepared and reviewed timely. These actions are expected to improve the effectiveness of controls over material account balance reconciliations. Auditor’s Evaluation of the Corrected Action Plan: Wesleyan College’s response was appropriate for immediate remediation for the current affected period. Furthermore, the plan for preventative actions appears to be appropriately focused to ensure reconciliations are prepared and reviewed timely.

Finding 2025-003: Timely Submission of Single Audit Reporting and Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse Finding: The Agency did not submit the Single Audit reporting package, including the Data Collection Form (DCF), to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) by the required deadline of March 31, 2026. Correction Actions Taken: Management submitted the Agency’s fiscal year 2025 Single Audit package, including the DCF, to the FAC on April 30, 2026. Management acknowledges that the Single Audit reporting package, including the Data Collection Form (DCF), was submitted after the required deadline. The delay resulted from a combination of internal and external factors, including delayed receipt of finalized data necessary to complete the audit and significant personnel turnover of internal and external professionals working on the single audit during the reporting period. In addition, a federal government shutdown impacted access to federal portals and the ability to confirm current submission requirements in a timely manner. Once the necessary information became available and federal systems were accessible, management worked with the auditors to complete and submit the reporting package promptly. Management has since strengthened internal coordination around audit data readiness.

Finding 2025-002: Reporting – ALN 93.217 Finding: During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Agency did not timely submit three of four required quarterly Federal Financial Reports (FFRs) for the Family Planning Services program. Correction Actions Taken: Management acknowledges that three of four quarterly Federal Financial Reports were submitted after their respective deadlines during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. These delays occurred during a period of significant administrative transition, including the departure of key personnel directly responsible for federal reporting and the reassignment of duties mid cycle. Despite these challenges, the impacted reports were submitted within two and seven days of the required deadlines. At no time was there an absence of monitoring or an intent to delay compliance. Management has since implemented enhanced internal tracking of federal reporting deadlines, clarified role assignments during staff transitions, and initiated earlier internal review of quarterly reports to ensure timely submission going forward. Contact Person: Tonya Tucker, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: Implemented as of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026

Finding Number: 2025‐001 Program Names/Assistance Listing Titles: Assistance Listing Numbers: Impact Aid 84.041 Education Stabilization Fund 84.425 Contact Person: Arlene Laughter, Business Coordinator Anticipated Completion Date: December 2026 Planned Corrective Action: The District intends to strengthen controls over all financial reporting and records retention to ensure that all documentation is properly prepared and accessible for the timely completion of financial reports. With the recent addition of an experienced Payroll Specialist and the ongoing recruitment for a GFA Specialist, the District will address all relevant areas, thereby facilitating compliance with required reporting deadlines. Reason Findings Were Not Corrected: The Business Office has experienced staffing shortages in key departments, including Payroll, Grants Management, and General Fixed Assets, each of which is responsible for meeting critical deadlines. Due to these staffing constraints, the District was unable to dedicate adequate resources to fulfill the required timelines and ensure that all documents were properly prepared and available for completion of the financial reports.

Finding 2025-003: Preparation of the schedule of federal expenditures (SEFA) – material weakness in internal controls over reporting. Management Response: Management acknowledges the finding and agrees that improvements are needed in the preparation and review of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). The audit identified that controls over the accuracy, completeness, and reconciliation of the SEFA to the general ledger and financial statements were not consistently performed or documented. This condition developed during a period of organizational transition, including changes in financial leadership, as well as increased complexity in federal funding and reporting requirements. These factors contributed to gaps in oversight and consistency in the SEFA preparation process. To address this finding, management is implementing the following corrective actions: • Establishing a formal, documented SEFA preparation process, including standardized templates and procedures • Implementing quarterly and year-end reconciliation processes to ensure grant activity is accurately recorded and aligned with the general ledger • Strengthening review controls, including secondary review by the Controller and CFO prior to finalization Enhancing grant tracking mechanisms to ensure expenditures, revenues, and matching requirements are properly classified • Providing targeted training to staff responsible for grant accounting and SEFA preparation Responsible party: Brenda Colon, CFO Expected Completion Date: October 2026

Due to challenges related to the implementation and reporting functionality of the Anthology Student system, AGMU temporarily experienced difficulties in identifying enrollment status changes and reporting the changes to NSLDS. Errors and delays related to enrollment reporting were primarily due to AGMU’s delay in identifying withdrawn students (discussed in Finding 2025-2) and identifying the withdrawal date used in the R2T4 calculation so that the date could be reported to NSLDS. AGMU agrees with the auditor’s recommendation that implementing additional processes and controls around enrollment reporting will improve compliance. To resolve this issue and prevent recurrence, AGMU is completing the corrective actions described below. Corrective Action 1: Confirming and reporting withdrawal dates for award years 2023-24 and 2024-25 As part of the withdrawn students file review described in the corrective actions for Finding 2025-2, AGMU is confirming the withdrawal date for students who did not complete the payment period. Once the withdrawal dates have been confirmed (and/or previous withdrawal dates are confirmed), enrollment statuses for impacted students will be updated in NSLDS as appropriate. Corrective Action 2: Monitoring for enrollment status changes To identify enrollment status changes timely, AGMU developed a report (“Customized Enrollment Status Change” report) that identifies students with enrollment status changes, the effective date of enrollment status changes, and potential Title IV adjustments related to enrollment status changes (e.g., Pell Grant recalculations). AGMU generates this report weekly to ensure that any student with an enrollment status change is reviewed, and timely Title IV award revisions are completed, if applicable. Corrective Action 3: Validation of the Enrollment Reporting Roster To validate the accuracy of the Enrollment Reporting Roster, AGMU will be developing a report to identify students with enrollment status changes and the effective date of enrollment status changes. AGMU is determining if it could use the existing report (“Customized Enrollment Status Change” report) for this process. Once AGMU has finalized its process and report, AGMU plans to generate this report monthly to confirm accurate information regarding student enrollment status is being extracted from the Anthology Student system and correctly transmitted to NSLDS via the Enrollment Reporting Roster. Corrective Action 4: Timely identification of ISIR comment codes Although AGMU had policies and procedures related to determining student eligibility, the procedures required revisions due to the Anthology Student implementation. To identify students for whom ISIR comment codes appear after Title IV aid is awarded and/or disbursed (i.e., on a subsequent ISIR), AGMU developed a report (“Customized Ineligible Funds” report) that identifies potentially impacted students, Title IV funds awarded and disbursed, and ISIR comment codes. AGMU generates this report weekly to ensure any student with an ISIR comment code is reviewed and any funds that must be returned are identified timely. Corrective Action 5: Review and revision of policies and procedures related to enrollment reporting. AGMU is in the process of revising its existing policies and procedures related to enrollment reporting to ensure they correctly describe processes in the Anthology system. Corrective Action 6: Ongoing monitoring by and support from system office personnel SUAGM central office financial aid personnel will perform and assist with quality assurance activities related to AGMU’s enrollment reporting such as: 1. Creating reports related to official and unofficial withdrawals to verify that enrollment status changes are identified on a timely basis and accurately reflected in student records in NSLDS. 2. In coordination with the Registrar, creating an enrollment reporting manual. 3. Developing NSLDS enrollment reporting training and requiring that all staff with enrollment reporting responsibilities attend the training. Corrective Action 7: Enrollment reporting file review AGMU is in the process of planning a comprehensive file review of enrollment reporting for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 award years. At this time, AGMU is prioritizing the withdrawn students file review so that unearned funds can be returned to the U.S. Department of Education as soon as possible. Once the withdrawn students file review is completed, AGMU will begin work on the enrollment reporting file review.

2025-004 Reporting Recommendation: The City should review the underlying data along with the report to ensure that report agrees with the support and the underlying data is correct. Corrective Action: Management recognizes the importance of accurate and complete reporting to the U.S. Treasury. While procedures were in place, the review of underlying data was not sufficient to ensure accuracy and completeness prior to submission. The issue was limited to a single report and was corrected in the subsequent U.S. Treasury reporting cycle in accordance with program requirements. To prevent recurrence, management has enhanced its review procedures over grant reporting to include reconciliation of underlying data and validation checks for inconsistencies prior to report submission. Additionally, a secondary level of review will be performed to ensure reports are complete and accurate before submission to the U.S. Treasury. Responsible Parties: B. Keith Smith, Finance Director Anticipated Correction Date: September 30, 2026

2025-002-Incomplete and Inaccurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA), Health Resources and Services Administration Native Hawaiian Health Care 93.932, During the fiscal year 2024, we experienced a high volume of funding sources due to the Lahaina wildfires. It was extremely difficult to communicate to the grantor if the funding was a result of a federal award. As of January 2025, the Executive Director inquires with the funding source if the award is a result of federal funds. In many cases, the grantor is unable to provide these details.
