Narragansett Bay Commission Corrective Action Plan For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 NBC acknowledges and concurs with the finding 2025-001 in the Fiscal Year 2025 Single Audit of the Narragansett Bay Commission conducted by Bacon & Company LLC. The Bucklin Point Wastewater Treatment Facility Digester Complex Improvements “the Project”) has been funded by state revolving fund loan proceeds from the Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank (RIIB) and a Department of Energy grant. NBC’s contracting for civil projects has procedures in place to ensure the inclusion of all applicable Federal requirements as it relates to the use of RIIB funds. Although the Project followed Federal requirements as it relates to RIIB funds, NBC did not have appropriate controls in place to verify that applicable construction contracts for the Project included additional Federal requirements related to compliance with the Build America, Buy America Act as ostensibly required by the Department of Energy grant agreement. NBC has subsequently verified and received certification from the Project’s prime contractor that the Project satisfies Build America, Buy America Act requirements. Corrective Action Plan: In order to ensure that all applicable grant agreement terms are satisfied, NBC has hired a grant administrator to centralize all grant related activities within the Finance Division. NBC intends to develop additional procedures in conjunction with the acceptance and execution of a grant agreement to accomplish the following: 1) Coordinate with applicable Cost Center (as grant recipient) to verify that NBC has the ability to comply with the terms of the grant agreement, and 2) Create a comprehensive checklist of key obligations, including reporting deadlines, allowable costs, matching requirements, and special conditions and verify continued compliance on a regular interval, and 3) Limit award of contracts, expenditure of funds for grant funded projects, and reimbursement requests for grant funds until grant administrator verifies compliance with applicable terms and conditions.

Name of Responsible Individual: Vice President of Enrollment Management (Dr. Stacey Sowell), Director of Financial Aid (Dr. Ojebe Ifegwu) Corrective Action: The University concurs with the findings. Shaw University acknowledges the findings regarding variances between institutional records and the amounts reported on the FISAP, as well as the delay in submitting corrections by the required deadline. The variances were due to insufficient reconciliation between the University’s records and the FISAP prior to submission. In addition, controls were not adequate to ensure that identified discrepancies were corrected within the required timeframe. The University has since completed a full reconciliation of the FISAP, and further corrections will be made. To prevent recurrence, the University has implemented procedures requiring a formal reconciliation of supporting records to the FISAP prior to submission, along with enhanced review and approval controls to ensure accuracy and timely reporting. Management will continue to monitor this process to ensure ongoing compliance. Anticipated Completion Date: April 30, 2026

Finding #2025-003 – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: U. S. Department of Treasury, COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, Assistance Listing #: 21.027, Contract #: 220163. Condition and context: In testing 40 nonpayroll transactions, we found one instance of an unallowable cost for a late fee charged to the grant and 2 instances of transactions recognized in the incorrect fiscal year. Additionally, 1 out of 9 payroll transactions were incorrectly allocated resulting in the understatement of payroll charged to the grant. Recommendation: Amend NBHP’s policies and procedures to include independent review of allowability of cost and payroll allocations. Planned corrective action: NBHP will modify its policies and procedures to include independent review of transaction for allowability and accuracy. Responsible officer: Lisa Albert, Executive Director. Estimated completion date: April 30, 2026.

Finding 2025-001 Condition There were 2 invoices out of 40 tested that were incorrectly entered into the Organization’s billing system related to the Rehabilitation Services Vocational Grant program. The Organization erroneously recorded the invoices, and the error was not detected during the Organization’s daily operations. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: The process for internal verification will be strengthened by centralizing the internal controls to include one individual responsible for the approval of the pre-bill and one individual responsible for entering the invoice into the internal billing system. This process will be changed from a monthly to a weekly verification. The person responsible for the approval of the pre-bill will review the amounts entered into the internal billing system for accuracy by verifying that all invoices entered match the dollar amount listed on the invoice. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Abigail Fisch – PA Program Coordinator of OVR, Nicole Brion – Revenue Cycle Management Billing Manager Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2025

SEFA expense overstatement originated from a misunderstanding of how to categorize COVID funds. Due to program staffing changes since 2021, it took several inquiries to verify that funds originally categorized as Federal and included on the schedule, were done so in error. It was through an abundance of caution that the agency chose to include the funds on the schedule. The thought was it would be better to include than not. This will not be an issue in the future as we have adjusted our grant and project tracking systems to tag transactions that are attached to our funding types. Program and accounting staff work together to verify that information at least quarterly and better tracking systems now exist through the agency’s use of OneDrive, Teams and other centralized Microsoft filing tools. We have also increased communication between the programs, contracts unite, and finance team.

Recommendation We recommend the District implement documented daily edit checks reconciling meal counts to attendance records and maintain records of this review. For food inventory, the District should establish a formal inventory system, including perpetual inventory records, monthly physical counts, and supervisory review. Staff involved in Child Nutrition operations should receive training on USDA and federal compliance requirements Management Response Corrective Action The Food Service Director will implement the federally required daily edit check process. This will include comparing daily meal counts against the attendance and enrollment figures to ensure that claims do not exceed the number of students present. Any discrepancies identified during this process will be investigated and documented prior to submission of the monthly claim. The District will also change the tracking of meals served by using an official meal tracking device or by having students use their badge/ID cards to get a more accurate meal count each day. The District has a formal inventory process for all food service supplies including canned goods, dry goods, and freezer items. This system tracks items from receipt through consumption. The District conducts monthly physical inventory counts of all food service assets. These counts are reconciled and any significant variances are reviewed by the Food Service Director and reported to the Business Manager. The District will ensure that all nutrition staff is trained on these procedures as well. Due Date of Completion: June 30, 2026 Responsible Party Business Manager, Food Service Director

F&RM will complete the following actions to ensure compliance with 2 CFR Part 200: 1. Establish written internal control policies and procedures for federal program reporting. All federal financial reports will undergo an independently documented review before submission to ensure accuracy, allowability, and proper reporting periods. 2. Implement documentation standards requiring staff to retain supporting materials such as system reports, financial queries, screenshots, and reconciliations, in accordance with federal and County retention requirements. 3. Pima County has been working with each of its grant implementing entities to use Euna Grants calendaring and reminders to prompt the entities’ timely reporting activities. Grants Management and Innovation (GMI) Department sets the reminders schedule at the onset of the performance period. The reminders are then automatically emailed to the grants manager and the assigned accountant for each grant on a set schedule throughout the course of the grant. GMI and Finance – Grants will continue to work with grant implementing entities to use these reminders to trigger the necessary actions in a timely manner. Pima County was still in the process of institutionalizing this system during FY25. 4. Provide training for staff who prepare and review federal reports, focusing on reporting requirements, documentation standards, internal controls, and record retention. 5. Conduct periodic management oversight reviews to confirm that internal controls are followed and that reports are complete, accurate, and submitted on time. The County is also planning to implement the Workday Grants Module with an anticipated go-live of July 1, 2027. This solution will enhance our ability to manage the full fiscal lifecycle of grant awards and ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements. The Workday Grants Module is a native Workday solution, purpose-built to support the full fiscal grant lifecycle. The module supports the following financial grant objectives: • Grant setup and award and fiscal tracking • Cost allocation and allocability controls • Real-time grant financial reporting • Compliance with federal Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) • Integration with Workday Financial Management, Procurement and Human Capital Management (HCM) In addition, F&RM has submitted FY 2026/27 budget requests to fund three additional Accountant III positions in our Finance – Grants Division. These positions will expand our capacity to manage our grant portfolio and strengthen our reconciliation, billing and SEFA preparation processes. The contract for the Workday Grants Module is scheduled to go before the Board of Supervisors for approval in April. These new positions will be included in the County Administrator’s Recommended Budget and will be considered by the Board as part of the full budget adoption process in June.

AUDIT FINDINGS Finding Reference Number: 2025-001 Description of Finding: The District is required to submit semi-annual Performance (Technical) Reports where the reporting of grant expenditures must reconcile to the expenditures reported on SF-425 for the same reporting period. For the reporting period ended March 31, 2025, the District's CMC Performance Report Line Bk (Totals) agreed to SF-425 Line 1 Ob (Federal cash disbursements) rather than SF-425 Line 1 Oe (Federal share of expenditures). The Performance Report did not accurately present total expenditures for the CMC award for the period. This results in noncompliance with the program's reporting requirements. The Performance Report reported cash disbursement data instead of accrual-basis expenditure data. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Management acknowledges that due to an oversight of cash vs. accrual basis accounting, an immaterial misstatement not resulting in questioned costs or returned funds occurred in grant reporting. Corrective Action: To ensure the increased accuracy of future grant reporting, Management will implement a dual-review process for all future performance reporting. The grant accountant responsible for the financial Performance Report data will now complete a standardized quality assurance checklist before submission. This report will then be formally reviewed and cross-referenced against source data by a secondary finance administrator to verify the accuracy of reported metrics. The CMC (Technical) Performance Report in question has been adjusted to reflect the accurate expenditure values and resubmitted to the grantor.

Cochise County Corrective Action Plan Year ended June 30, 2025 2025-101 Assistance Listings number and name: 10.557 WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Award number and years: CTR067930, October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2028 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-through grantor: Arizona Department of Health Services Compliance requirement: Eligibility Questioned costs: Unknown The County did not perform eligibility certification requirements, resulting in an increased risk of program participants receiving benefits they are not eligible to receive Contact: Barbara Lang Completion date: March 2026 Corrective Action: Cochise County WIC leadership and staff are committed to full adherence with WIC policy and will continue to implement training, monitoring, and communication to ensure compliance with federal and state regulation. This audit timeframe produced findings primarily related to issues that have already been corrected through the departure of staff that contributed to the findings (to include the previous Directors), hiring of new staff with a more thorough and comprehensive training plan implemented, and staff effort to retroactively collect all required signatures at subsequent appointments to ensure all WIC clients have current signatures and understanding of Rights & Obligations and Consents for their certification period. We recognize that these new processes were not put into plan until June 2025, due to the timing of the previous audit, and therefore did not reflect on the July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 audit period. In addition to the above resolved issues, a new WIC director was hired in September 2025 and new policies and procedures were immediately developed and put into place. These new policies and procedures that serve as our already implemented corrective action plan are as follows: Staff Training a. All staff are required to complete the full ADHS WIC-sponsored live cohort training courses upon hire, and every 3 years of their employment to ensure competencies are maintained over time. b. All staff complete their annual Civil Rights, Conflict of Interest, and Confidentiality upon hire and annually. Last annual training was completed Fall 2025. c. A staff dedicated as Training Coordinator monitors training logs and ensure all training requirements are met, with additional oversight by the WIC Director and the ADHS WIC State office. d. In-person staff meetings are held monthly, with a significant portion of time dedicated to staff training on programmatic expectations to ensure all staff obtain the same information so that tasks are carried out in a standardized method. e. Weekly team huddles to review any timely findings or discuss issues as a group. f. Weekly 1:1’s with each staff to discuss areas where the employee may need additional training or to discuss any deficiencies the WIC manager has noticed, (i.e. note-taking/documentation, single income verifications, chart review findings, etc.). Separation of Duties g. Cert List for Audits report run every 2 weeks for each clinic/staff person to review adherence to Separation of Duties. i. Follow up with certain percentage of clients per policy to assess how the certification went and verify client information. ii. Follow up with staff if any issues are identified. h. Staff have been training on during staff meetings in July 2025, August 2025, October 2025, and during new employee training on how to properly use the HANDS system to ensure the system accurately records who completed the 2nd income verification. i. Revision of Separation of Duties policy and implementation of new “protected time” procedure to ensure there is a staff person available at almost all times of day to complete the 2nd IV. *Since approval of this policy the ADHS WIC state office on 1/5/2026 and implementation of this policy/procedure, the Cert List for Audit report of single-income verifications has decreased substantially (from 60 in 2 weeks, to 5), all with documented reasons why 2nd IV was unable to be obtained during certification appointment and notes verifying 2nd IV was completed on another date. Rights and Obligations and Consent Forms a. All staff received a refresher training on 8/26/25, will be retrained annually, and are regularly reminded to obtain both required signatures at certification b. If staff are unable to obtain digital signatures due to tech issues, they are required to obtain e-document signatures via the clients email, or written signatures the staff then scans into the client file c. Chart reviews and staff observations are completed on a monthly-bimonthly basis to ensure ongoing staff compliance with policy and procedure
