Corrective Action Plans

Finding Reference: 2025-001 – Reporting Condition: During testing of reporting compliance for major federal programs, we selected three of twelve monthly OAF reports submitted during the fiscal year. For each month tested, reported amounts did not reconcile to MOFC’s internal Poundage Distribution reports and Product Code – Agencies by County reports. Specifically, we identified material variances between the OAF reports and internal distribution records, including: October 2024: ACP distributions were omitted from the OAF report, resulting in a variance of approximately 821,528 pounds (projected dollar impact of $262,889). January 2025: VA/Holiday Purchase distributions were omitted from the OAF report, resulting in a variance of approximately 310,898 pounds (projected dollar impact of $155,449). June 2025: Donated distributions, primarily Direct Retail Pickup (DRP) quantities, were omitted from the OAF report, resulting in a variance of approximately 933,505 pounds (projected dollar impact of $1,764,324). Additional differences were noted in purchased distributions of 40,399 pounds (projected dollar impact of $16,968). Although management provided explanations indicating that certain distributions were omitted in error or excluded due to differences in reporting scope, MOFC did not maintain documented reconciliations supporting the reported amounts. Evidence of review and approval demonstrating that differences were identified, investigated, and resolved prior to report submission was not provided. Views of Responsible Officials Items 1 & 2 are both failures of a report in our former ERP to include exception components and needed to be added manually when reporting. This is a result of human error. Item 3 is a result of a WIP component currently being installed into the new ERP to add in programmatic data for agency pickups. This is currently added manually for reporting purposes – also human error. Planned Corrective Action: Implementation of the Direct Retail Pickup poundage integrations into the current ERP will negate the necessity to manually enter the numbers. While this install is occurring, we will continue to manually update. Anticipated Completion Date: Initial discussions have occurred with an anticipated solution provided, tested and approved before the end of FY26 timeframe.

Finding 2025-1 Financial Statement Preparation Status: On-going Reason for Recurrence: The Authority has discussed the finding but must consider the cost of professional resources to complete a set of drafted Authority financial statements.

We recommend that the City develop and maintain policies and procedures regarding loan monitoring and ensure that all documentation of loan monitoring be maintained on an annual basis. Management's Response: The City concurs with the finding. Responsible Individual: Marti Brown, City Manager, and Joei Harrison, Finance Director. Corrective Action Plan: The City will complete all required compliance reporting for CDBG activities in the futures. Anticipated Completion Date: July 2025

Finding 2025-002 Reporting Department’s Response: Management agrees with this finding. Corrective Action: This issue arose during the onboarding of students admitted through a teach-out arrangement with a closing institution. Because these students entered under program structures that differed from NUNM’s standard enrollment models, some of the information initially received did not align with NUNM’s financial aid packaging assumptions. In two cases, cost of attendance calculations reflected full-time status when the program design required three-quarter-time treatment. While the situation was limited to a small number of students within a unique population, management recognizes that our internal coordination processes did not sufficiently account for the complexity of the teach-out transition. In particular, clearer confirmation of enrollment status and program structure should have occurred before aid was packaged and originated. Management is strengthening procedures for any future teach-out, transfer, or non-standard admissions cohorts to ensure accurate and compliant packaging from the outset. Going forward, NUNM will implement the following controls: • A standardized handoff process from Admissions to Financial Aid for special populations that documents program structure, term length, and expected enrollment level prior to packaging. • A secondary review requirement for initial aid awards for new program types or cohorts before loans are originated. • Regular cross-functional checkpoints between Admissions and Financial Aid during the setup of non-standard programs. Management views this experience as an opportunity to improve coordination and compliance during periods of institutional transition and is committed to maintaining strong controls over Title IV packaging and cost of attendance calculations.

This will require: (1) Identification of the reporting period; (2) Review of all source documents supporting reported totals; and, (3) Mathematical reconciliation of reported figures o Training provided to grant program staff and administrative personnel on documentation standards and reporting accuracy expectations. o All corrective actions were implemented immediately upon identification of the finding and will be fully in place within 30 days of notification. The revised procedures are now standard practice for all grants reporting participant numbers. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. o Reports may not be submitted to the pass-through entity without documented secondary review and written approval from the Grants Director or the Grant and Asset Coordinator. o Interim and final program reports will be reviewed to ensure: (1) Participant totals match underlying documentation; (2) Source documentation is retained and accessible; and, (3) Approval signatures are present prior to submission. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. o The Grants Director and the Director of Business Operations are responsible for oversight of grant compliance. NSU – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; NSU has reviewed the finding and has put additional measures in place to ensure compliance. Staff responsible for preparing reports were retrained and multi-layered quality checks have been implemented to safeguard integrity of data entered in shared databases. NSU’s multi-layered quality checks include written confirmations from staff involved in service activities and backup of documentation within NSU’s local storage to support the numbers being reported. The latter represents a move away from using a database that is accessible to multiple institutions to a centrally controlled location within NSU. This process outlined herein was implemented in August 2025 and ensures that the source documentation reconciles with reports and is available for auditing purposes. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. To ensure compliance, NSU staff who are responsible for the program and technical reporting have reviewed and updated internal policies and procedures relating to reporting. Performance targets and benchmarks have been reestablished and will be measured at set intervals. Any errors detected will be documented and remedied. Additionally, errors will serve as the basis for continuous improvement processes and retraining as needed. These will be documented in performance reviews. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. The NSU GEAR UP Principal Investigator and First-Year College Advisor Supervisor are responsible and accountable for ensuring reporting is supported by underlying records. TMCC – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; TMCC reports on the number of participants for all services rendered under the GEAR UP grant through both the Interim Progress Report (IPR) and the Final Progress Report (FPR). The identified issue concerns a discrepancy between the reported participant count on the IPR and the underlying supporting records. To ensure data accuracy going forward, TMCC will implement an additional review of participant reporting. Prior to the submission of progress reports, a second technical reviewer within the GEAR UP team would verify the participant counts entered into GEARS (GEAR UP’s designated data-reporting platform) against the supporting documentation (the attendance sheet). Should a discrepancy be identified, the GEAR UP team will follow up with the individual responsible for the data entry on GEARS to reconcile the difference. This may include requesting correction of data entry errors or obtaining additional documentation to support the reported participant count, as appropriate. Additionally, attendance sign-in sheets will be collected and retained by TMCC staff to allow for direct verification prior to reporting. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. Compliance and performance will be measured by the implementation of a second reviewer for the participant data reported through GEARS and included in the progress reporting. This review can be documented through an internal checklist, internal communication, or other appropriate records demonstrating that the participant data was reviewed and validated prior to the submission of progress reports. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. Primary responsibility for accurate participant reporting will remain with the TMCC First Year College Advisor (FYCA) or other designated staff responsible for preparing grant performance reports. Responsibility for completing the secondary verification review will be assigned to a designated GEAR UP technical reviewer or program staff member who is independent of the initial data entry and report preparation. If repeat or similar observations occur, program leadership will evaluate adherence to established procedures and implement additional corrective actions, which may include staff retraining, revision of internal procedures, or reassignment of reporting responsibilities, as appropriate. UNLV agrees with this finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; The UNLV OSP will continue to work with PIs to ensure there is a documented review of progress reports.

Communication dissemination will occur twice within the academic year. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. UNLV OSP will continue communications through Research Weekly (an internal communication newsletter) to remind PIs to ensure timely submission of progress reports and retention of records such as, lab notes, testing, populations served, activities performed, etc. to demonstrate activities supported by the grant. UNLV OSP will maintain communications with PIs to perform monitoring throughout the life of the award. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. The UNLV OSP Executive Director is accountable for exercising oversight and responsibility along with the applicable Deans. UNR – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; All participant counts reported in Interim Progress Reports will be supported by retained underlying source documentation that directly reconcile to the reported totals. Standard documentation expectations and retention requirements will be communicated to program staff. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. Compliance will be measured through pre-submission review of reported participant data against underlying records and through post-submission spot checks conducted by Program Director. Documentation supporting reported counts will be retained in the official project file and made available for future audit, management review, and internal monitoring. Evidence of reconciliation will be documented via checklists or certifications retained with the report. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. Program Director WNC – Agrees with the finding. ● Detailed corrective action taken, including what will be done to avoid the identified issues in the future, and when these measures will be in place; Sponsors have determined grant practices and required reporting documentation, which have not been consistently required or expected of subrecipients. WNC will maintain its own sign-in sheets and documentation for all grant-sponsored activities to ensure compliance with overall grant requirements. The corrective action was implemented in July 2025. ● How compliance and performance will be measured and documented for future audit, management and performance review. The GEAR Up coordinator will create and maintain sign-in sheets or other documentation for every grant-sponsored activity. The coordinator will maintain records in accordance with federal and state guidance and will ensure that supporting documentation is sufficient to support the reported figures. ● Who will be responsible and may be held accountable in the future if repeat or similar observations are noted. Final responsibility and accountability fall on the GEAR Up coordinator and grant administrator. Official Contact: Rhett R.

Program: AL 21.029 – COVID-19 Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund – Subrecipient Monitoring Corrective Action Plan: For the current year, no new awards have been issued; therefore, the following reflects the continued implementation of the prior-year corrective action. Prior to the second round of CPF awards, the department created a standardized “Budget Template” that has been incorporated into the grant application process. This tool allows for a more robust documented review of reasonable and estimated costs. The updated budget process has already been applied to the 2024 Capital Projects Fund awards. The Commission has a standardized reimbursement template that further strengthens this process by allowing us to compare verified actual costs to the original budgeted costs. The implementation of this enhanced process allows us to build a documented dataset of historical project data and associated costs, which will continue to expand as reimbursement requests reflecting actual costs are received. Contact: Carrie Gans Anticipated Completion Date: Completed and approved by The Department of Administrative Services in June of 2025.
