Corrective Action Description The College has engaged a financial aid consultant to support the development of cost-of-attendance budgets and ensure they align with industry best practices, thereby making improvements to the College's financial aid operating system. After evaluating the auditors' sample of forty students, the College confirmed that no instances of over/under awarding occurred.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN In past years the accounting services provided to Pyramid Learning Corp. were contracted and external accounting companies. We acquired specialized accounting software to be utilized internally. Since we started utilizing this new software, our staff has made significant efforts to update the system. However, the data needed to fully update the new accounting and financial software labor intensive and time consuming making it difficult to maintain a month to month database. Currently with the new system all the new current data has been recorded and is up to date. This new system provides us with the capability to maintain accounting and financial reports such as Balance Sheets, Statements Activities and Bank Reconciliation forms. Thus, providing a monthly snapshot of all the company accounts with the most current information. Improving transparency and the capacity to correct any discrepancies in a timely manner.

Finding 2025-009-U.S. Department of Education (ED) TRIO Cluster Programs (significant deficiency) Information on the federal program-Educational Talent Search, FAL 84.044A This memorandum serves as management’s response to the audit finding regarding internal control weaknesses in participant eligibility documentation for the Educational Talent Search Program under 34 CFR § 643.3. Acknowledgment of Finding Management acknowledges the condition identified in which two participants’ applications lacked incorrect information to verify age eligibility requirements. Management notes, this condition reflects a perceived control weakness that may impact compliance with TRIO Talent Search Program requirements. Management Response During the initial application process, parent and student data is entered into a system-generated application. Management acknowledges that, in instances where inaccurate information is entered (e.g., date of birth), established procedures require verification against official documentation, such as the student’s transcript. Supporting documentation for Shayla Adams and Madison Wallace is provided as evidence. Upon identifying omissions or incorrect information during the review process, management verifies the applicants’ information directly with the participants’ school as part of the secondary review process. Official documentation is obtained and reviewed, and the verified date of birth is recorded as documented on the students’ official transcripts and maintained in the participant files. The applicants’ information is entered correctly in the student database (Blumen) prior to acceptance, ensuring compliance with eligibility documentation requirements under 34 CFR § 643.3. Management is committed to addressing this issue promptly and strengthening internal controls to ensure full compliance with federal regulations. Procedures governing participant intake, eligibility verification, documentation retention, and supervisory oversight will be consistently monitored. These measures include standardized processes, increased staff accountability, and ongoing monitoring to maintain program integrity. Corrective Action Plan 1. Standardized Eligibility Verification Process A comprehensive eligibility checklist will be implemented and required for all participant files to ensure consistent documentation collection and verification prior to acceptance. Before an acceptance letter is provided to students, and the information is entered into Blumen, birthdates will be checked by the school transcript. Responsible Party: Assistant Director and Program Director Implementation Date: Immediately upon receiving the application 2. Secondary Review and Approval Control A mandatory secondary review process will continue. Participants’ acceptance will not be approved until all eligibility documentation is verified as accurate complete. Responsible Party: Assistant Director Accountable: Program Director Implementation Date: Immediate 3. Staff Training and Procedure Reinforcement All staff will participate in mandatory training on eligibility requirements and documentation standards. Written procedures and required intake documentation will be provided to reinforce compliance expectations. Responsible Party: Assistant Director and Program Director Accountable: Program Director Implementation Date: Monthly 4. Documentation Tracking System Management will implement a tracking procedure to identify and monitor missing or incomplete documentation, ensuring deficiencies are resolved prior to participant approval. Responsible Party: Assistant Director and Senior Counselors Accountable: Program Director Implementation Date: Immediately upon receiving the application 5. Ongoing Monitoring and Internal Reviews Quarterly internal file reviews will be conducted to assess compliance with eligibility requirements. Findings will be documented and corrective actions enforced. Responsible Party: Assistant Director and Senior Counselor Accountable : Program Director Implementation Date: Quarterly 6. Documentation Retention Controls Uniform file management protocols will be established to ensure all eligibility documentation is properly maintained, organized, and readily accessible. Responsible Party: Assistant Director Accountable Program: Director Implementation Date: Ongoing Conclusion Management takes this matter seriously and is committed to ensuring that all corrective actions are fully implemented within the stated timeframes. These measures are designed to strengthen internal controls, ensure compliance with federal requirements, and enhance the integrity of participant eligibility determinations. The College has already initiated corrective action by hiring entirely new staff in key positions and is committed to fostering a culture of compliance through rigorous procedures and training. 1. Staff Expertise: Financial Aid team members are becoming certified in the enterprise resource program module, specifically related to financial aid, as a first step. 2. SOP Implementation: The core of this plan involves the creation of seven new or updated Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) (as highlighted above) to standardize compliance activities and reduce reliance on individual employee experience. 3. Proactive Monitoring: We are implementing mandatory monthly and quarterly reconciliation and audit reports to ensure adherence to timelines and documentation requirements, moving from reactive to proactive compliance management. 4. Cross-Training: Training will be conducted across multiple departments (Financial Aid, Business Office, Registrar) to ensure shared understanding and accountability for Title IV compliance.

Finding 2025-001 U.S. Department of Education (USDE), Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs – Satisfactory Academic Progress (material weakness): Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan Tougaloo College acknowledges the findings identified in the audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, regarding Finding 2025-001 (Material Weakness). We recognize the gravity of the systemic issues related to the monitoring of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) and the associated questioned costs of $346,764.00. The College is committed to full compliance with 34 CFR 668.34 and is implementing the following corrective actions to ensure the integrity of our Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs. • Automation and System Integration: The College is transitioning from manual SAP monitoring to an automated tracking system within our Student Information System (SIS). This will ensure that academic standing—specifically GPA and completion rates are calculated systematically at the end of each Spring Semester. • Audit of Appeal Documentation: We are establishing a centralized digital repository for all SAP appeals. Effective immediately, no Title IV funds will be disbursed to students on financial aid probation without a documented, approved appeal and a corresponding academic plan on file. • Staff Training and Accountability: The Office of Financial Aid will undergo mandatory training focused specifically on federal SAP criteria. We have revised our internal "Check and Balance" protocol, requiring a secondary review by the Director of Financial Aid before any student failing SAP is cleared for disbursement. • Annual Policy Review: In alignment with the Auditor’s Recommendation, Tougaloo College will conduct a comprehensive annual evaluation of all students. This evaluation will be reconciled against the Registrar’s records to ensure data consistency. • We have updated our SAP policy to allow us to review at end of each Spring The College has already begun the look-back process to review the eligibility of the 16 students identified in the sample. We anticipate that the new automated monitoring and revised internal controls will be fully operational by the start of the Fall 2026 semester to prevent any further repeat findings.

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.
