Finding 2024-002: Review of Compliance Matrices and Narratives The single audit report included the following recommendation: We recommend that Amtrak establishes a more defined timeline for the events that would trigger the update and review of the compliance matrices and compliance narrative, which could include execution of any new federal awards or amendments to existing federal awards. Additionally, Amtrak should establish a process where the modifications to the provisions are assessed for materiality/applicability and include documentation of the respective conclusions as part of the review process. Management Response/Status of Action Plans: Amtrak acknowledges the need to augment process documentation around the controls over the preparation and updates to the compliance matrices. The company is in the process of updating these controls now and will incorporate the identified findings in developing more robust controls. The company specifically notes the need to add more documentation on considerations for what provisions are updated in the compliance matrices and the evidence of review. The review procedures and controls are being enhanced to include a checklist to improve the review. This checklist will be completed by both the compliance matrix creator (upon creation) and the compliance matrix reviewer/approver (upon review and final approval). The contact for this item is Lucia Butts, AVP Funding and Grants and Meghan Histand, Director of Discretionary Grants. Amtrak anticipates fully remediating this finding by September 2025.

Finding 2024-001: Preparation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) The single audit report included the following recommendation: We recommend Amtrak to strengthen the SEFA oversight process to ensure appropriate preparation and review of the SEFA to validate its accuracy, including reconciliation with prior year audited SEFA. This should include having one reviewer take overall responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of the final submitted SEFA. This robust review process should include appropriate procedures to confirm accuracy of the SEFA, which may include a protocol where representatives from various groups (both discretionary and non-discretionary federal programs) work collaboratively to review the SEFA and underlying details of expenditures, to ensure all the adjustments have been properly reflected as well as any projects that might have multiple fund sources are identified timely and reviewed for appropriate inclusion within the SEFA. Additionally, Amtrak should establish a process where any modifications of WBS funding assignments and allocations are updated in a timely manner Management Response/Status of Action Plans: Amtrak recognizes the need to improve the preparation and review of the SEFA. The company has documented the steps for preparing and reviewing the SEFA within its process narrative. The company will update the narrative to address the preparation and review issues that led to the multiple versions of the SEFA being provided during the audit. The company is in the process of updating the SEFA preparation documentation for FY2025, which will be used at the end of the year. The review procedures and controls are being enhanced to include a checklist to improve the review. The company will review and update the Grants Management Compliance Narrative and controls to improve timing of updates for modifications of WBS funding assignments. The contact for this item is Lucia Butts, AVP Funding and Grants. Amtrak anticipates fully remediating this finding by September 2025.

Finding 2024-002 - Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Material Weakness) CFDA Title and Number 10.555 National School Lunch Program cluster Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Compliance/Internal Control over Compliance: Auditee Responsibilities Criteria: CFR Part 200.508, CFR Part 200.510, Auditee Responsibilities state that the auditee must prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, which must list individual Federal awards by Federal Agency, including the total Federal awards expended, name of the pass-through entity, CFDA number, and total amount provided to subrecipients. The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards should be derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Condition: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was presented for audit with values that were not reconciled with the general ledger. Cause: The District relied on individuals with insufficient training or support to prepare the SEFA and ensure that it was reconciled with general ledger amounts. District management did not have sufficient training or monitoring policies to recognize and correct the deficiency. Effect or Potential Effect: Expenditures of federal awards and not be detected and corrected. Because the Auditee’s SEFA was completed incorrectly, and not reconciled to the general ledger the SEFA was materially misstated, prior to auditors’ correction recommendations. Questioned Cost: No Context: Lack of adequate controls over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and related accounting resulted in the following: • SEFA was originally presented for auditors with incorrect information. • No reconciliation between federal expenditures reported on the GL and the SEFA was presented. • Recording of State vs Federal activities was not posted to the GL correctly, requiring adjustments during the audit. • Not all grants were recorded in separate and identifiable GL accounts. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: Yes Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs. Internal controls should be designed to prevent, detect, or correct errors in a timely manner by performing periodic reconciliations of the SEFA information to the general ledger throughout the fiscal year. The District should provide appropriate training to staff who are assigned to prepare and review the SEFA. City’s Response: The District acknowledges the deficiencies. Corrective Action Plan: The District will establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs. Planned Implementation Date: October 1, 2025 Responsible Person: Director of Business Services, Myrtle Point School District No. 41

Audit Firm: RSM US LLP 30 S Wacker Drive, Suite 3300 Chicago, IL 60606 Audit Period: 1/1/2024 – 12/31/2024 Comments on Findings and Recommendations: Finding 2024-002 – Eligibility - Pell Finding: Herzing University did not properly award Pell funding to an eligible student in the Spring 2024 semester. Condition: A student was eligible to receive Pell funding but did not receive Pell funds due to an employee error. For one out of 40 students tested for eligibility, we noted 1 student (2.5%) who was eligible to receive Pell funding but did not receive Pell funds due to an employee error. Action Taken: The identified student withdrew from the University on May 8, 2023. The student’s 2023-24 Pell award was cancelled during the required R2T4 process that was completed on May 23, 2023. The 2023-24 Pell award for the Spring 2024 semester was not manually reinstated upon the student’s return to an Active status on June 28, 2023. The employee who was responsible for updating the student’s financial aid package upon the student’s return to an Active status erroneously neglected to reinstate the 2023-24 Pell award for the Spring 2024 semester. This finding is attributed to human error. In April 2025, Herzing University created an internal compliance checkpoint for Pell awarding. This checkpoint will identify any students with a Pell eligible SAI for the Federal Award year that do not have Pell packaged for the semester. This checkpoint was completed for the Spring 2025 semester on April 7, 2025, and will be completed each semester going forward. Any affected students identified during the completion of this semester-based checkpoint will have their financial aid package revised to include Pell funding for the applicable semester, prior to the end of the semester. Herzing University’s Policy Manual was updated in April 2025 to reflect the addition of the Pell Awarding compliance checkpoint. For the identified student, Herzing University has provided a tuition waiver for the amount of the Pell funds that the student was eligible for and should have received for the Spring 2024 semester. The required corrective action for Finding 2024-002 listed in the SFA audit for the period 1/1/2024 – 12/31/2024 was completed on 5/7/2025. The person responsible for completion of the corrective action was Kevin McShane, Vice President of Financial Aid & Compliance. ____________________________________ _______________________ Kevin McShane Date Vice President of Financial Aid & Compliance Herzing University 275 W.

For one out of 40 students tested for eligibility, we noted 1 student (2.5%) who was eligible to receive SEOG funding but did not receive SEOG funds due to an employee error. Action Taken: On May 1, 2024, a Financial Aid Advisor manually cancelled the identified student’s 2024-25 SEOG award in Regent (Herzing University’s Financial Aid Management Software), with a notation that the student had an ineligible Student Aid Index (SAI). The student had an SAI of -117 on their 2024-25 ISIR, and in accordance with Herzing University’s FSEOG policy were eligible for 2024-25 SEOG in the Fall 2024 semester. The award was incorrectly manually canceled by the advisor because of human error. In April 2025, Herzing University created an internal compliance checkpoint for FSEOG awarding. This checkpoint will serve as a safety net to identify any students who have a Pell award for the Federal Award year, have an SAI that is FSEOG eligible according to Herzing University’s FSEOG policy, and do not correctly have FSEOG packaged for the semester. Any affected students identified during the completion of this semester-based checkpoint will have their financial aid package reviewed and if necessary revised to include FSEOG funding for the applicable semester, prior to the end of the semester. This checkpoint was completed for the Spring 2025 semester on April 4, 2025, and will be completed each semester going forward. Herzing University’s Policy Manual was updated in April 2025 to reflect the addition of the FSEOG Awarding compliance checkpoint. For the identified student, Herzing University has provided a tuition waiver for the amount of the FSEOG funds that the student was eligible for and should have received for the Fall 2024 semester. The required corrective action for Finding 2024-001 listed in the SFA audit for the period 1/1/2024 – 12/31/2024 was completed on 5/7/2025. The person responsible for completion of the corrective action was Kevin McShane, Vice President of Financial Aid & Compliance. ____________________________________ _______________________ Kevin McShane Date Vice President of Financial Aid & Compliance Herzing University 275 W.
