Finding Reference • Audit Report Section: [Insert Finding Number/Reference] Finding 2024-001: Refunds of Title IV Funds Calculation and Disbursement Errors (Significant Deficiency - Special Tests and Provisions) • Description of Finding: Summarize the audit finding clearly as stated in the audit report. During the Fall 2023-2024 semester, 125 Pell Grant refund checks totaling $144,576 were issued incorrectly due to failures in the newly implemented student financial aid reporting system. • Errors Identified: 1. 10 checks totaling $11,087 were cashed, with only $1,233 returned to the college. The remaining $9,854 is considered questioned costs. 2. 51 checks totaling $56,263 were cashed, and accounts were later adjusted with student cooperation. 3. 64 checks totaling $77,226 were stopped before payment. 2. Root Cause Analysis • Cause of Noncompliance: Explain why the issue occurred (e.g., lack of internal controls, insufficient training, system error). System and operational failures due to inadequacy of the new student financial aid reporting system. • Contributing Factors: List any secondary factors (e.g., staff turnover, policy misinterpretation). 1. Data integrity issues – Automatic updates resulted in unauthorized entries and inaccurate data. 2. Communication failures – Early reports by staff of system errors were not addressed in a timely manner, resulting in delayed communication. 3. Disbursement errors – Scheduled disbursement dates canceled and rescheduled as a result of system’s inability to package students correctly. 4. SFP processing was inconsistent with US DOE COD system data. 5. Compliance date reporting errors due to SFP processing. 6. Training on the new SFP system was insufficiently provided by the vendor. In-person and self-paced training modules also not provided by the vendor. 7. SFP system contributed to incorrect financial aid packaging, requiring manual reprocessing 8. The SFP system was not aligned with unique community college scheduling features (e.g. parts of term such as winter session, 8-week semesters). 3. Corrective Action Plan Planned Corrective Measures: Detail the specific steps WCC management will take to correct the deficiency. To mitigate further damage, WCC reinstated the prior software system in April 2024, however, since the ISIRs were already determined, manual adjustments were made to students. This required additional corrective action steps: • Manual Data Corrections – Financial aid counselors manually reviewed data on approximately 6400 students and made corrections, student by student. • Reconciliation with G5 Data – Financial aid data had to be manually reconciled with G5, the federal payment system. • Compliance Adjustments – Transaction dates for compliance reporting were corrected. • Award Authorization – Student award amounts required manual verification, authorization, and approval. • Bursar’s Office Delays – Due to system errors, Bursar’s Office delayed processing refunds to prevent further financial discrepancies. • Parallel setup of on-prem financial aid system in March 2024 to prepare for the 2024-25 academic year. • Extraction of 2023-24 academic year financial aid data from SFP system and import into on-prem financial aid system. • Discontinue use of SFP on approximately 7/1/2025. • Responsible Party: Name/Title of the person(s) responsible for implementing corrective action.

Additional financial aid professional staff, IT/SFP system consultants. • Timeline: Expected completion date(s) for each corrective measure. Financial aid system remediation and awarding is complete. 2023-24 student financial aid data extraction/import for future reference in process. 4. Monitoring & Follow-Up • Ongoing Oversight - Describe how WCC will monitor to ensure corrective actions remain effective: WCC has a fully documented academic year financial aid project plan that is followed to ensure the timely implementation of tasks. • Internal Review Mechanisms: WCC will include periodic reviews aligned with standard DOE reporting timelines. Increase reconciliation frequency between G5 and COD. Increase periodic reviews, reports to leadership, and internal audit spot checks. 5. Evidence of Implementation • Documentation: List the types of evidence that will be maintained (e.g., revised policies, training logs, updated system reports). Project plan to revert back to previous system, training schedules, policy updates as they occur, and relevant updated system reports. • Retention: Confirm that documentation will be retained in accordance with federal regulations.

FINDING 2024-002 "Housing Choice Voucher Tenant Files - Eligibility - Internal Control over Tenant Files - Noncompliance & Significant Deficiency 11 SHA RESPONSE The Springfield Housing Authority acknowledges the seven (7) errors as delineated in the full 2024 FYE audit report. In 2024, the Springfield Housing Authority Housing Choice Voucher program delineated the following positions to undertake income and rent calculations: one (1) Special Programs Coordinator, four (4) HCV Specialists and one (1) Program Integrity Specialist. Of those six (6) employees, only one had a tenure longer than 12 months. Due to continuing post COVID-19 turnover and lack of qualified workers in the local workforce, the SHA experienced a higher than usual turnover rate in the HCV positions that conduct rent calculations during the majority of FY2024. The Springfield Housing Authority hired third party consultants to assist with annual recertifications in the 3rd Quarter of 2023 that continued through December 31, 2024. The primary function of the Program Integrity Specialist position is to audit and quality control tenant files and rent calculations conducted by HCV Specialists. The HCV Director and/or HCV Manager is responsible for reviewing 3% of recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist position as an additional quality control measure. This error rate was directly attributable to the unprecedented turnover rate of HCV Specialists during the 2024 fiscal year. The Director of HCV, HCV Manager, HCV Specialists, HCV Special Programs Coordinator and Program Integrity Specialist were provided additional internal and external training opportunities in HCV rent calculations and program integrity in June 2025. The SHA will take the following corrective actions to correct the errors and/or prevent the errors moving forward: • The Program Integrity Specialist will conduct reviews of 100% of annual and interim recertifications for HCV program participants by December 31, 2025. • The Program Integrity Specialist will ensure 100% audited file corrections are completed by the HCV Specialists, monthly. • The HCV Director and/or Manager will review 10% of the recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist as an additional quality control measure by December 31, 2025. • Any newly hired HCV Director, HCV Manager, HCV Specialists and Program Integrity Specialist will be provided with additional external training opportunities in Housing Choice Voucher program income and rent calculations and program integrity within sixty (60) days of employment. • The HCV Director and/or Manager will re-review the files identified with errors during the independent audit and resolve the errors in accordance with the SHA Administrative Plan and HUD rules and regulations by December 31, 2025.

FINDING 2024-001 "Public Housing Tenant Files - Eligibility- Internal Control Over Tenant Files Non-Compliance and Significant Deficiency" SHA RESPONSE • The Springfield Housing Authority acknowledges the five (5) errors as delineated in the full 2024 FYE audit report. The auditors pulled files from two points in time through the fiscal year. It was noted that the identified errors were from the second half of the fiscal year tenant actions (July- December) when the Springfield Housing Authority experienced a staffing shortage in both the Program Integrity and Asset Manager functions of the Public Housing program. The majority of identified errors were found in instances where the public housing operations was short staffed in five positions (2 Asset Managers, 1 Program Integrity Specialist, 1 Occupancy Specialist and 1 Inspector). Staffing stabilization at the first half of the fiscal year gave way to a higher than usual turnover rate in the positions that conduct rent calculations, file audits and inspections during the latter part of FY2024. The primary function of the Program Integrity Specialist position is to audit and quality control tenant files and rent calculations conducted by Occupancy Specialists. The Asset Managers are responsible for reviewing 3% of recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist position as an additional quality control measure. The Asset Managers, Occupancy Specialists and Program Integrity Specialists were provided additional internal and external training opportunities in low rent public housing rent calculations and program integrity in June 2025. The SHA will take the following corrective actions to correct the errors and/or prevent the errors moving forward: • The Program Integrity Specialist will conduct reviews of 100% of annual and interim recertifications for public housing tenants by December 31, 2025. • The Program Integrity Specialist will ensure 100% audited file corrections are completed by the Occupancy Specialists, monthly. • The Asset Manager(s) will review 10% of the recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist as an additional quality control measure by December 31, 2025. • Any newly hired Asset Managers, Occupancy Specialists and Program Integrity Specialists will be provided with additional external training opportunities in low rent public housing rent calculations and program integrity within sixty (60) days of employment. • The Asset Managers will re-review the files identified with errors during the independent audit and resolve the errors in accordance with the SHA Admissions and Continued Occupancy Plan and HUD rules and regulations by December 31, 2025.

The Company acknowledges non-compliance with 2 CFR § 200.305 that the entity must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the U.S. Treasury or the pass-through entity and the disbursement of funds by the recipient or subrecipient. However, the questioned costs that were transferred in advance were ultimately deemed reasonable because they were disbursed during the grant period for allowable costs as part of the federal contract awarded. The Company will ensure a proper understanding of the compliance requirements for all federal contracts prior to requesting funds and will ensure funds transferred are compliant with the requirement that the Company minimize the time elapsed from the time of transfer and the disbursement of funds in accordance with the grant terms.
