Management Response The University concurs with this finding. Management has reviewed its processes for monitoring and issuing Title IV credit balance refunds and has implemented procedures to ensure refunds are processed within the required 14-day timeframe. The Financial Aid and Student Accounts offices will review credit balance reports on a regular basis to identify students eligible for refunds and confirm timely disbursement. In addition, staff have been reminded of federal requirements related to credit balance refunds. Management will monitor this process periodically to ensure ongoing compliance. Corrective Action The University reviewed the federal requirements for refunds with applicable members of the Business Office and Financial Aid departments to ensure a thorough understanding of the refund rules. The University enhanced its weekly credit balance review process to require explicit review by the Controller and Director of Financial Aid if uncertainty exists on whether a student is eligible for a refund. This review must be completed within the 14 day period with either the refund issued or the loan removed from the student’s account.

2025-102 The County did not develop internal control procedures over program reporting and cash management requirements, increasing risk of report errors to awarding agencies and wrongly receiving monies Cluster Name: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Cluster Assistance Listings numbers and program names: 17.258 WIOA Adult Program 17.259 WIOA Youth Activities 17.278 WIOA Dislocated Worker Formula Grants Award Numbers and years: IGA DI21-002286 July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 IGA DI23-002389 July 1, 2023 through June 28, 2028 Assistance Listings numbers and program name: 21.027 COVID-19—Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Award Numbers and years: 1505-0271 March 3, 2021 through December 31, 2024 CT-FM-22-149 October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025 SLFRFP1962 January 5, 2023 through December 31, 2026 CTR069300 January 1, 2024 through December 30, 2026 GTAW-FM-23*123 October 3, 2022 through July 3, 2026 ACJC-VC-25-001A July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 Assistance Listings numbers and program name: 93.268 Immunization Cooperative Agreements Award numbers and years: CTR062571 July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 CTR059891 July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2027 Name of contact person: Art Cuaron, Director, Finance and Risk Management Anticipated completion date: June 30, 2027 The County recognizes the need to strengthen internal controls over federal reporting and cash management requirements. 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.

Finding 2025-003 – Reporting – Special Reports for Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (“FFATA”) Corrective Action Plan I. Overview and Acknowledgment The University acknowledges Finding 2025-003 regarding noncompliance with reporting requirements under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act. Specifically, the University did not submit a first-tier subaward agreement/amendment/modification within the required timeframe to the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). The University concurs with the findings and is committed to strengthening its internal controls, procedures, and oversight mechanisms to ensure full compliance with all FFATA reporting requirements moving forward. II. Criteria Under FFATA requirements: • Recipients of federal grants or cooperative agreements must report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more to SAM.gov. • Reporting must be completed timely and accurately in accordance with federal guidelines. • Institutions must maintain sufficient internal controls to ensure that all reportable subawards are identified, tracked, and submitted within required deadlines. III. Condition The audit determined that a subaward agreement, amendment, or modification meeting FFATA reporting thresholds was not submitted within the required timeframe. This reflects a lapse in the University’s internal processes governing subrecipient monitoring and reporting compliance. IV. Root Cause Analysis The University has identified the following contributing factors: • Inadequate tracking mechanisms for subaward reporting deadlines • Insufficient coordination between Grants Administration and responsible program personnel • Lack of automated alerts and centralized monitoring systems • Gaps in internal review and approval workflows prior to submission • Limited oversight to ensure timely compliance with FFATA requirements V. Corrective Actions and Implementation Plan The University will implement the following corrective measures effective immediately: 1. Internal Audit Oversight and Governance • The Internal Audit function will assume leadership responsibility for overseeing FFATA compliance and subrecipient reporting processes. • Quarterly compliance reports will be prepared and submitted directly to the Vice President and Chief Finance Officer until sustained compliance is achieved. • Internal Audit will conduct periodic reviews and testing of subaward reporting to ensure adherence to federal requirements. 2. Enhanced Tracking and Monitoring Systems • A centralized tracking system will be implemented to monitor all subawards, including thresholds, reporting deadlines, and submission status. • Automated alerts and reminders will be established to notify responsible personnel of upcoming reporting deadlines. 3. Strengthening Policies and Procedures • Standard Operating Procedures (“SOPs”) for FFATA reporting will be updated and formally documented. • Procedures will clearly define roles, responsibilities, timelines, and escalation protocols for noncompliance. • A compliance checklist will be required prior to execution and modification of all subaward agreements. 4. Improved Interdepartmental Coordination • Formal communication protocols will be established between Grants Administration, Principal Investigators, and Finance to ensure timely identification and reporting of subawards. • Designated compliance liaisons will be assigned to ensure accountability across departments. 5. Training and Capacity Building • Mandatory training will be conducted for all staff involved in grants management and subrecipient oversight. • Training will focus on FFATA requirements, reporting timelines, system usage, and compliance expectations. 6. Pre-Submission Review and Quality Assurance • A secondary review process will be implemented prior to submission to SAM.gov to ensure accuracy and completeness. • Documentation supporting all submissions will be retained in a centralized repository for audit and compliance purposes. VI. Timeline for Implementation • Immediate: o Initiate Internal Audit oversight o Implement interim tracking and reporting processes o Begin staff training • Short-Term: o Deploy centralized tracking system and automated alerts o Finalize and implement updated SOPs o Begin quarterly reporting to the Vice President and Chief Finance Officer • Long-Term (Ongoing): o Conduct continuous monitoring and compliance reviews o Maintain quarterly reporting until full and sustained compliance is achieved VII. Monitoring and Ongoing Compliance The Internal Audit function will provide ongoing monitoring and validation of FFATA reporting compliance. Quarterly reports will include status updates, identified issues, corrective actions, and recommendations for continuous improvement. VIII. Conclusion The University is committed to addressing the deficiencies identified in Finding 2025-003 through enhanced oversight, improved processes, and strengthened internal controls. These actions will ensure timely and accurate subaward reporting, uphold compliance with FFATA requirements, and reinforce the University’s commitment to transparency and accountability in federal grant management.

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

Highway Planning and Construction Assistance Listing No. 20.205 Recommendation: We recommend that the City review and enhance current procedures to ensure that the vendor's suspension and debarment status is documented prior to contracting with the vendor. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The City's Transporation Department erroneously thought the City's Purchasing Department performed the suspension and debarment check. Purchasing reported that since we were riding the contract of another jurisdiction that they rely on that jurisdiction to check for debarment and the other jurisdiction confirmed that they only award contracts to active vendors on the State's eVA system, hence an indication of no debarment). Regardless, the City will conduct additional training in this area for prime award recipients and for Purchasing staff. The City will also check for suspensions and debarment even if riding contracts from other jurisdictions. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Davidia Thompson, Wynndell Bishop, Department of Finance. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Q2, 2026.

While we currently use the Spiceworks Inventory System to track hardware and software assets and Google Workspace to manage user cloud access and data storage, we acknowledge that a formal, documented inventory process covering all required categories has not yet been fully established. The IT Director has been assigned to develop and document this process within 30 days. We acknowledge this finding and the associated risk arising from the absence of an independent risk assessment. As of March 25, 2026, the University has engaged TeamLogic Cybersecurity to strengthen our managerial, technical, and operational controls and to (1) develop and document a formal, GLBA aligned risk assessment process; (2) conduct annual independent, comprehensive risk assessment of our information systems and data environment; and (3) provide written findings and recommendations. Based on these results, we will implement appropriate safeguards, and institutionalize an annual risk assessment cycle to ensure that risks are consistently identified, assessed, mitigated, and monitored in accordance with GLBA requirements.
