Program Name: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Federal Assistance Listing Number 10.557 Significant Deficiency – Eligibility Finding 2025-005 Criteria: Per Section 200.303 of the Uniform Grant Guidance, a non-federal entity must establish and maintain effective...
Program Name: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Federal Assistance Listing Number 10.557 Significant Deficiency – Eligibility Finding 2025-005 Criteria: Per Section 200.303 of the Uniform Grant Guidance, a non-federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Condition: There were 6 instances out of 60 program participants tested for control testing where the County did not remediate the errors identified within their internal review timely. Questioned Costs: None Effect: Failure to promptly remediate errors identified during internal review increases the risk that program participants may receive benefits or incur costs that do not comply with program requirements, potentially resulting in noncompliance and questioned costs. Cause: The County does not have a formal process in place to ensure issues identified during the review process are appropriately corrected on a consistent and timely basis. Recommendation: Mecklenburg County should consider implementing a formal policy for the requirements of having documentation corrected within a specific timeframe once identified and monitored throughout the year for adherence to the policy. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and is implementing procedures to correct this which is further discussed in the Corrective Action Plan. Corrective Action Plan: The WIC Sr. Quality and Training Specialist conducts quarterly monitoring by observing staff and completed random chart reviews. However, due to retrospective nature of audits significant time elapses between the occurrence of the error and its identification. Late corrections in the crossroads system will compromise data integrity and disrupt some of the certification processes in crossroads. Crossroads also lacks the ability to alert supervisors of missing documentation which in turn creates a huge administrative burden to monitor missing documentation in real time. WIC program leadership will create a policy that will address documentation standards. WIC staff will be instructed not to alter the original entry, instead a correction addendum will be documented to acknowledge missing data. WIC program will continue to provide policy refreshers every quarter to address these findings and provide staff updated information. WIC supervisors will review the quarterly audits results with their staff and ensure staff follow the standards set by the department leadership. The following the phases of the corrective action plan will be completed by March 31st, 2026. Phase 1: Review of Federal and State Guidelines Phase 2: Creation of Document Standard Policy Phase 3: Implementation of new documentation standards policy. Anticipated Completion Date: March 31st, 2026 Responsible Person(s): Ali Raza, WIC Director

U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-through Entity: North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Federal Assistance Listing Number 10.557 Significant Deficiency – Procurement Finding 2025-004 Criteria: Per Section 200.318 of the Uniform Grant Guidance, a non-federal entity must use documented procurement procedures for the acquisition of services required under a federal or State award. Condition: The County did not properly follow the Uniform Grant Guidance procurement standards for contracted services tested. Specifically: a) There was one (1) contract out of two (2) contracts tested where the County did not retain proper documentation of the original bid process for a contract that was extended into the current year. b) There was one (1) instance out of two (2) contracts tested where the documentation of the rationale for utilizing a State contract was not properly documented. Questioned Costs: None. Effect: By not having the required documentation and rationalization in the files, the County could have improperly contracted with a vendor that was not considered eligible to be paid with grant proceeds. Cause: The County did not ensure all contracts utilized for the grant were properly documented using procurement requirements in accordance with the Uniform Grant Guidance procurement standards. Recommendation: The County should consider utilizing the Uniform Grant Guidance procurement standards for all County contracts to ensure proper documentation for contracts are maintained in the file. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and is implementing procedures to correct this which is further discussed in the Corrective Action Plan. Corrective Action Plan: The County’s procurement policy generally mirrors the Uniform Grant Guidance and procedures have been implemented to provide additional review of new agreements prior to execution to ensure that proper steps were followed in the selection process. In addition, the importance of comprehensive documentation retention in the areas noted above have been communicated to staff and a review of same will be included in the added review process. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2025 Responsible Person: Teresa Rausch, Procurement Director
Program Name: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Federal Assistance Listing Number 10.557 Significant Deficiency – Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Repeat Finding 2025-003 Criteria: Per Section 200.303 of the Uniform Grant Guidance, a non-federal entity must esta...
Program Name: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Federal Assistance Listing Number 10.557 Significant Deficiency – Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Repeat Finding 2025-003 Criteria: Per Section 200.303 of the Uniform Grant Guidance, a non-federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Condition: There were 3 out of 40 samples tested where clear and consistent documentation of a control over allowable costs and activities was not present. Effect: Without consistent documentation and adherence to departmental policy for approving allowable costs, there is an increased risk that unallowable expenditures may be charged to the program, potentially resulting in noncompliance with federal requirements and questioned costs. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: The departmental policy to approve expenditure documents as an allowable cost for the program was not followed. Recommendation: The County should consistently follow departmental policy by ensuring all expenditure documents for the program are properly reviewed and approved as allowable costs before being approved for payment and maintain clear documentation of controls over program activities to support compliance with federal requirements. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and is implementing procedures to correct this which is further discussed in the Corrective Action Plan. Correction Action Plan: Program leadership will collaborate with the County Finance Team to ensure departmental policy is followed when purchases are made using WIC Federal funds. Internal purchase approval documents will be created to enhance the approval workflow. All purchases will be submitted to the WIC Program Director for approval. The program Director and the Sr. Admin Assistant will review the orders and ensure they are allowable items per the NC State WIC program guidelines. A shared folder will be created to save the purchase order forms, and the invoices to ensure Mecklenburg County Health Department Policy A-13, Retention of Administrative Documents is followed. The following the phases of the corrective action plan will be completed by March 1st, 2026. Phase 1: Review of Federal and State Guidelines Phase 2: Mecklenburg County Procurement Policy Review Phase 3: Creation and Implementation of new internal purchase approval processes. Phase 4: Staff Training Anticipated Completion Date: March 1st, 2026 Responsible Person(s): Ali Raza, WIC Director
Finding 2025-003 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing: 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 Finding Summary: In testing of 60 students, 1 student was identified that was notified of the requirement to retu...
Finding 2025-003 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing: 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 Finding Summary: In testing of 60 students, 1 student was identified that was notified of the requirement to return Title IV funds in excess of the amount actually required to be returned. The error was caught by the District, but the student’s account was never corrected to the appropriate amount of the return. Corrective Action Plan: The corrective action for the R2T4 calculation error involved promptly correcting the student's calculation and returning the appropriate funds. To prevent future mistakes, the Director of Financial Aid will review the current R2T4 controls process with staff, which now includes a double review by the Financial Aid Adviser and the Director to catch errors such as typos or miscalculations and to ensure accurate student notifications. After aid adjustments are made, the Director verifies the processed changes for accuracy, and any discovered errors are immediately corrected and documented in the R2T4 file. Responsible Individual(s): Christopher Natelborg Anticipated Completion Date: September 2025
Finding 2025-002 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing: 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 Finding Summary: In testing of 60 students, 1 student was identified who was not awarded the correct amount of Pe...
Finding 2025-002 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing: 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 Finding Summary: In testing of 60 students, 1 student was identified who was not awarded the correct amount of Pell. Corrective Action Plan: The corrective action for the Pell Grant eligibility issue involved promptly adjusting the affected student's Pell Grant to the correct amount, which resulted in an increase and ensured there was no negative impact. To address the root cause, the Director of Financial Aid met with the financial aid team to review the finding and clarified federal regulations on Pell Grant calculations, referencing the 2024-25 FSA Handbook. Importantly, the Director committed to upgrading the internal Pell Grant calculator used by Financial Aid Advisers: this enhancement will add a flagging mechanism that automatically alerts advisers whenever a student's calculated Pell Grant amount falls below the published minimum Pell amount for that award year, thereby ensuring that no student unintentionally receives an ineligible or reduced Pell Grant due to a calculation oversight. Responsible Individual(s): Christopher Natelborg Anticipated Completion Date: January 2026
Finding 2025-001 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing: 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 Finding Summary: In testing of 60 students, 3 students did not receive a timely notification of their award from ...
Finding 2025-001 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing: 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 Finding Summary: In testing of 60 students, 3 students did not receive a timely notification of their award from the District. Corrective Action Plan: To address missed disbursement notifications, the Financial Aid team identified affected students and sent the required notices, including an official explanation from the Director of Financial Aid. The issue was traced to a system malfunction during the SU24 term, which has since been resolved by implementing a process that alerts IT and the Director if notification counts do not match disbursement records. The notification script has been enhanced to track missing letters over the previous 30 days, and IT has established a weekly audit comparing sent notifications to disbursement records for accuracy. Additionally, coding updates in the CX system now ensure all disbursements are properly captured, regardless of the date entered by Financial Aid, thereby preventing similar oversights in the future. Responsible Individual(s): Christopher Natelborg Anticipated Completion Date: December 2025
Finding 2025-002 – Internal Control over Compliance – Reporting (Significant Deficiency) CFDA Title and Number 84.354A Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZAB) Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance/Internal Control over Compliance: Auditee Responsibilities - 87 - Criteria: Unifo...
Finding 2025-002 – Internal Control over Compliance – Reporting (Significant Deficiency) CFDA Title and Number 84.354A Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZAB) Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance/Internal Control over Compliance: Auditee Responsibilities - 87 - Criteria: Uniform Guidance CFR Part 200.303 requires entities to maintain effective internal control over compliance for federal programs, including accurate financial reporting. GAAP requires proper recognition and disclosure of long-term obligations such as Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZAB). In-ternal controls should ensure debt balances are reconciled to lender statements and amortization schedules to prevent misstatement in reports and the SEFA. Condition: Myrtle Point School District No. did not perform routine reconciliations of QZAB debt bal-ances during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The general ledger balance for QZAB differed from the amortization schedule and accrued interest was not updated. No documented review or reconciliation was performed. Failed to report the interest for the QZAB bonds and failed to post the principal pay-ments that were paid from the QZAB for the Flex fund. Entries were required to correct this deficiency in order to complete the audit. Cause: Lack of formal reconciliation procedures and oversight; reliance on outdated schedules without updates. Effect or Potential Effect: Failure to accurately reconcile QZAB balances or amortization records, can result in a risk of material misstatement of liabilities and interest expense for the financial statements; po-tential errors in SEFA reporting when QZAB financed federally funded assets. This could lead to non-compliance with reporting requirements and misclassification of debt-financed assets. Questioned Cost: None reported Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: Yes Recommendation: We recommend that Myrtle Point School District No. 41 implement a monthly recon-ciliation process for QZAB debt, agreeing general ledger balances to lender statements and amortization schedules, and require documented review and sign-off by the Director of Business Services. District's Response: The District concurs with the recommendation. Corrective Action Plan: The District will implement reconciliations and update the schedules, and inte-grate review into the year-end close process. Planned Implementation Date: January 31, 2026 Responsible Person: Director of Business Services, Myrtle Point School District No. 41

Finding 2025-002 - Procurement (Significant Deficiency) CFDA Title and Number: 20.513 (5310) Enhanced Mobility of Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities. Name of Federal Agency: Department of Transportation Internal Control over Compliance: Procurement CFDA Title and Number: 20.509 (5311) Operating Assistance. Formula Grants for Rural. Name of Federal Agency: Department of Transportation Internal Control over Compliance: Procurement Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200.318(a-k) Numerous procurement regulations exist requiring federal grant awardees to develop and implement internal control policies and procedures related to procurement activities. Condition: The District made expenditures and engaged in contracts without following relevant procurement requirements. Cause: Management and leadership lacked awareness of relevant procurement regulations. Consequently, no internal control policies or procedures related to procurement existed, or policies and procedures existed but were not implemented. Effect or Potential Effect: The lack of effective internal controls over procurement activities had allowed for widespread deficiencies and noncompliant activities, which resulted in the District’s revocation of one award. Questioned Cost: None reported Context: Without proper procurement policies and procedures, the risk of compliance requirement violations is significant. The District failed to meet numerous procurement requirements early in the fiscal year and ultimately lost a significant award for bus acquisitions. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: Yes Recommendation: The District should design and implement internal controls related to procurement regulations that will reduce the risk that the District’s procurement activities are not in compliance with federal regulations. District's Response: The District acknowledges the weaknesses and its intention of correcting weaknesses. There has been a change in the General Manager position, to improve the operations, and training of all management, staffing and leadership. The Board has had significant membership change, with new leadership actively engaged in creating a quality internal control and policy environment. Much education and training has occurred during and after fiscal year 2024-2025, up through December 2025, and is ongoing, to meet these goals.

Finding 2025-001, Reporting- Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance Cause: The finding resulted from the lack of a formalized, documented review process to verify the accuracy of claim data between Skyward, PrimeroEdge, and TXUNPS. Historically, the claim reporting relied on single-entry verification without a defined cross-check procedure or document retention system to confirm alignment across platforms. Corrective Action: NYOS Charter School has implemented a new monthly verification process to ensure accuracy and transparency in the meal count reporting workflow. - The PEIMS Manager will generate the Average Daily Attendance (ADA) report from Skyward each month. - The Food Service Manager will use this report to enter claim data into PrimeroEdge. - The Director of Operations will then cross-reference the claim information from PrimeroEdge with the ADA report from Skyward before entering final claim data into TXUNPS. - Copies of the ADA report, the PrimeroEdge claim summary, and the TXUNPS submission confirmation will be downloaded and stored in the Food Services Google Drive for audit documentation and ongoing internal control review. - Staff involved in this process will receive annual training on verification procedures, documentation standards, and data integrity best practices. Timeline: Updated verification process implemented in October 2025; full rollout and training completed by December 2025. Responsible Party: - Chief of Operations & HR -Director of Operations - PEIMS Manager - Food Service Manager Monitoring: Quarterly internal reviews will be conducted by the Chief of Operations & HR to ensure consistent application of the cross-verification process and proper retention of supporting documentation in the Food Services Google Drive.

FISAP Reporting Planned Corrective Action: Deficiency: The backup documentation submitted for the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP) did not match the data reported on the FISAP. Institution Response: We acknowledge this discrepancy and agree that the FISAP backup documentation did not fully align with Part II, Sections 7a (Total Undergraduate Students) and 7b (Total Graduate Students) as reported on the submitted FISAP. The current FISAP reflects 43 for Section 7a, whereas the correct figure is 60, and 199 for Section 7b, whereas the correct figure is 202. Root Cause: At the time the report was prepared, the institution was relying on a contracted financial aid professional to provide the data for FISAP reporting. Although this work was performed in good faith, the contracted individual provided incorrect figures, which resulted in minor data discrepancies between the FISAP and the supporting documentation. Corrective Action Taken: Our Institution has ended its contract with the external financial aid services provider. We have transitioned all financial aid and FISAP-related responsibilities in-house and designated a qualified Data Point Administrator / Director of Financial Aid to oversee the preparation of the report. Additionally, there will be multiple financial professionals reviewing future FISAP and backup data. The current year’s FISAP has already been worked on using this updated structure, and all backup documentation has been reviewed for accuracy and confirmed to match the submitted FISAP. Preventive Measures Going Forward: To ensure accuracy and prevent recurrence, the institution has implemented the following procedures: 1. The Director of Financial Aid (Data Point Administrator) will prepare all FISAP data and maintain appropriate source documentation. 2. The Financial Aid Representative will review the completed FISAP and all backup documents to verify accuracy prior to submission. 3. The Financial Controller will receive the full FISAP packet, including backup documentation for an additional review and institutional oversight. 4. All FISAP materials and supporting documents will be stored in the institution’s secure Financial Aid OneDrive folder to ensure accessibility and consistency during audits. These steps have already been implemented for the most recent FISAP cycle and will be followed annually to maintain compliance and data integrity.

Student Financial Assistance – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure that students’ statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Auditors identified two students for whom enrollment status on the campus level and program level was correctly reported to NSLDS as withdrawal in December 2024; however, both students graduated in March 2025 and that enrollment status was not updated at the campus level or the program level. We have a manual tracking procedure in place for students who complete missing coursework after their last term of enrollment that results in completion of their program. These two students were missed in that process. As a result of this finding, we have reviewed the procedure with the relevant staff and will continue to monitor the process, adding routine spot-checking of this tracking list.
