DJFS will begin to use project numbers to allow for an additional check of all amounts reported. DJFS is also going to provide federal grant information to the Auditor’s office as soon as they complete their final report in order to give the Auditor’s office adequate time to review the information with MUNIS and will afford the Auditor’s office more time to compile the SEFA and have a secondary review to avoid any computational or clerical errors.

Finding No. 2025-001 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Condition The Organization had revisions to the SEFA and management’s review and approval process did not detect the following errors that were identified during the audit procedures performed: - An incorrect de minimis indirect cost rate was used and charged to a federal award. - Approximately $65,000 of federal expenditures were omitted from the initial SEFA. - Subrecipient costs from the prior year were charged to the current year due to incomplete accruals in the prior year. As a result, the SEFA was not complete or accurate prior to submission for audit. Planned Corrective Action: Management concurs with the findings and related recommendations. While the Organization completed its federal award activity in May 2025 and does not currently anticipate additional federal award activity, it recognizes the importance of compliance with grant reporting requirements, including the accurate preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). In response to this finding, the Organization has taken the following corrective actions: Indirect Cost Rate: Updated our grant setup checklist to ensure the correct de minimis indirect cost rate is applied. The Organization has initiated and is currently processing the repayment of the overcharged indirect costs to the primary awardee. SEFA Completeness & Year-End Cutoff: Implemented a formal year-end SEFA reconciliation procedure. This includes a secondary review by the Director, Accounting to cross-reference general ledger federal expenditures against grant award agreements and to verify that all subrecipient accruals are recorded in the proper fiscal period. These improvements in our review and approval functions are designed to prevent future reporting omissions and ensure timely, accurate SEFA preparation should the Organization be subject to Single Audit requirements in the future. Anticipated Completion Date: July 31, 2026 Name of Contact Person: Melinda O’Leary, Chief Financial Officer & Vice President If the Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit has questions regarding this plan, please call Melinda O’Leary, Chief Financial Officer & Vice President at 571-483-1324.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE – SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS – ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS 2025-002 Reporting Compliance Requirement – Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Finding Summary 2 CFR § 200.510 requires that the City prepare appropriate annual financial statements, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA), which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR § 200.502. The City did not have proper controls in place to ensure completeness of the SEFA and compliance with this requirement. During our audit, we noted the City did not have sufficient controls in place to ensure the accurate preparation of the SEFA in compliance with this requirement. The City’s SEFA for fiscal 2025 was overstated by $147,700 in federal expenditures due to the inclusion of costs that were incurred in the previous fiscal year. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The SEFA overstatement resulted from including prior-year expenditures in the 2025 reporting period. The City did not prepare a SEFA in the previous fiscal year because federal expenditures did not meet the Single Audit threshold; this contributed to the oversight in tracking the timing of eligible expenditures. To strengthen the year-end reporting process, the City has implemented updated procedures requiring a grant-level reconciliation of expenditures and revenues at year-end to ensure they are recorded in the proper fiscal period before preparing the SEFA. Federal grant coordinators and Finance Department staff will jointly review federal expenditures for accuracy and timing. This strengthened process will help ensure complete and accurate federal expenditure reporting in the SEFA. Official Responsible – Kim Sommerland, Finance Director. Planned Completion Date – June 30, 2026. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding – The City agrees with the finding and has implemented additional procedures to strengthen controls over reporting. Plan to Monitor – The Finance Director will verify that year-end grant reconciliations are completed and reviewed prior to SEFA preparation.

View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding. Management will implement procedures to identify all federal awards expended, including funds passed through state and local governments. For each grant and contract, management will review the executed agreement and related funder documentation for indicators of federal funding, including an Assistance Listing Number, a federal award identification number, the originating federal agency, the pass-through entity identifying number, and references to the Uniform Guidance, and should confirm the federal funding status with the pass-through entity when it is not clear. Management will maintain a centralized listing of awards that is reconciled to the general ledger and reviewed for completeness in preparing the schedule of expenditures of federal awards.

Management's Response and Corrective Action Plan Fiscal Year 2025 Single Audit Finding Reference: 2025-001 & 2025-004 o Classification: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting / Compliance o Target Completion Date: 120 Days (from the issuance of the final audit report o Responsible Officials: Finance Director, Director of Information Systems and the Municipal Advisor Management's Response & Corrective Action Plan: Concurrence with the Findings: The Management of the Municipality of Corozal concurs with the conditions and recommendations outlined in Findings 2025-001 and 2025-004 We acknowledge that the recent migration of our core accounting system compromised the system's operational and technical capacity to generate balanced trial balances, reconcile subsidiary ledgers, and streamline the automatic production of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Corrective Actions to be Implemented: To resolve these deficiencies systematically and ensure full compliance with Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200), the Municipality will execute the following action plan within a strict 120-day timeframe: 1. System Re-alignment & Expert Remediation (Led by: Director of Information Systems and the Municipal Advisor): The Municipality will immediately retain specialized software implementation engineers and municipal accounting consultants to trace the migration mapping errors. This team will re-align the platform's database structure to correct the corrupted historical financial data and prior-period balances. 2. Opening Balance Reconstruction (Led by: Finance Director & Municipal Advisor): A formal data-clearing project will be established to reconstruct, cross-reference, and validate all opening balances transferred from the legacy system against the prior year's audited financial statements to restore data integrity. 3. Interim Manual Tracking for Federal Programs (Led by: Finance Director): To address the risks highlighted in Finding 2025-004 the Finance Department will immediately implement an interim manual spreadsheet tracking matrix. This will ensure all federal expenditures across all active Assistance Listings (ALN) are manually reconciled with federal drawdowns and physical invoices until the core accounting database is completely functional. 4. Closing Controls & Migration Policies (Led by: Joint Committee): We will design and implement rigid monthly closing routines and formal trial balance reviews. Furthermore, we will establish strict IT transition frameworks requiring dual-system running periods and mandatory data-integrity sign-offs before any future application or ledger upgrades are deployed. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (787) 859-3060, ext. 1703. Sincerely Jose A Rivera Miranda Finance Director

Condition: The Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program expenditures on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) initially presented for audit were not complete and accurate. Planned Corrective Action: The Finance Department recently hired a new Grants Manager after being without this critical position for almost a year. The Grants Manager, along with the Grant Specialist and the Financial Reporting team accountants, plan to work together to improve the tracking and reconciliation of grant activity. In addition, the City implemented eCivis Euna Grants, a grant application, tracking, and reporting system, in November of 2025. The Grants Team will be working with Departments to document the grants process formally for the City and this will ensure that all grants are accounted for and tracked in the Euna grants system. This renewed capacity and new initaitives, supported by the new administrative cost recovery framework and the City's grants management platform, reflects a broader commitment to managing external funding with the same discipline applied to locally generated revenues. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Julie Cunningham, Grants Manager. Anticipated Completion date: 05/01/2027
Finding 2025-003 Accounting for Grants, Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, and Fiscal Man-agement (Material Weakness) Assistance Listing Number and Title: 84.184H Title IV ESEA, School Based Mental Health Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.510(b), ...
Finding 2025-003 Accounting for Grants, Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, and Fiscal Man-agement (Material Weakness) Assistance Listing Number and Title: 84.184H Title IV ESEA, School Based Mental Health Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.510(b), the auditee must prepare a complete and accurate Schedule of Federal Expenditures (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements and submit it with the reporting package by the date required by auditors. The SEFA must include total federal awards expended by Assistance Listing (ALN, formerly CFDA), pass-through entity identifying numbers as applicable, the amount provided to subrecipients (if any), and other required disclosures. The SEFA must include all federal expenditures and awards for the year reported and be reconciled to the General Ledger. Condition: The District did not timely prepare an accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). The SEFA provided for audit did not reconcile to the District’s general ledger and contained multiple inaccuracies, including reporting federal expenditures in excess of current-year general ledger activity and misclassification of awards, with certain state programs incorrectly reported as federal programs. Cause: The District lacked effective internal controls over the preparation and review of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Specifically, expenditures reported on the SEFA were not reconciled to the District’s general ledger, and there was no documented review process to verify program classification or reported amounts. Changes in finance staff and the incomplete status of the District’s general ledger at year-end further contributed to the errors and untimely completion of the SEFA. Effect or Potential Effect: Expenditures of federal awards may be reported incorrectly 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: None noted Context: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) is a required supplementary schedule for Single Audit reporting and is intended to accurately reflect federal award activity in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. During the audit, the District provided an initial SEFA that was not timely and contained material inaccuracies. The re-ported expenditures did not reconcile to the District’s general ledger. Certain programs were incorrectly identified as feder-al rather than state awards, and some federal expenditures exceeded amounts recorded in the accounting records. Because the SEFA was neither complete nor accurate at the time of submission, auditors were required to perform addi-tional procedures to identify errors, investigate discrepancies, and propose audit adjustments. Thei extended the audit timeline and increased the risk of noncompliance with federal reporting requirements. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: No Recommendation: The District should strengthen internal controls over SEFA preparation by ensuring the general ledger is finalized prior to preparation, reconciling all reported expenditures to accounting records, and implementing a docu-mented review and approval process to verify accuracy and proper program classification. Strengthening procedures, cross training staff, and implementing supervisory review and approval process to verify accuracy, completeness and proper classification of federal versus state awards will enhance compliance with Uniform Guidance, and reduce the risk of future audit findings, and support a more efficient and timely audit process. District’s Response: The District agrees with the finding and recognizes that staffing changes and an incomplete year-end close contributed to the SEFA issues. The District is strengthening reconciliation, review, and oversight procedures to en-sure timely and accurate SEFA reporting in future years. Corrective Action Plan: The District transitioned to a new accounting software for the year ended June 30, 2026. The new system will allow for more clear tracking of individual federal awardS. that are required to be reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Additionally, the new business manager for the 2026-2027 fiscal year has multiple years' experience in preparing Schedules of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Planned Implementation Date: August 1, 2026 Responsible Person: District Finance Director

MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE – SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS – ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS 2025-001 Reporting Compliance Requirement Finding Summary 2 CFR § 200.510 requires that the City of South St. Paul, Minnesota (the City) prepare appropriate annual financial statements, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA), which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR § 200.502. During our audit, we noted the City did not have sufficient controls in place to ensure the accurate preparation of the SEFA in compliance with this requirement. The City’s SEFA for fiscal 2025 was overstated by $749,656 in federal expenditures, due to the inclusion of costs that were incurred in the previous fiscal year. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The City has implemented new processes and procedures in 2026 which address this internal control finding to comply with the Uniform Guidance in the future. Finance department personnel will work with federal grant coordinators to assure that federal expenditures are accurately reported on the SEFA for all federal programs. Official Responsible – Clara Hilger, Finance Director. Planned Completion Date – June 30, 2026. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding – The City agrees with this finding. Plan to Monitor – The City’s Finance Director, Clara Hilger, will ensure the new process and procedures implemented in this area ensure future compliance with the Uniform Guidance.

The Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) agrees with the conditions and recommendations of this finding. From PSJC’s perspective, this finding includes prior year (FY2020) approved expenditures not reported in FY2025 SF-425. We believe there was a transparency gap, as the discrepancies between the SF-425 reports and the SEFA expenditure totals should have been identified, disclosed and brought to our attention in prior audit engagements. Overall, we concur with the findings. The SEFA was adjusted in fiscal 2020 for expenditures that were not approved, however we did not capture the approved expenditures in the following years on SF425. Management will ensure that SEFA expenditure and SF 425 cash disbursements are aligned. We will perform first and second level review of the SF425 and SEFA. Management also concurs with the fact that the subrecipient passthrough on the SEFA should be non-district agencies. We will review the SEFA and report only non-district agencies as pass through to subrecipients.

The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) concurs with this finding. FFATA Reporting Compliance: In February 2026, the DBH Grants Management Office created an FFATA procedure to ensure compliance with timely FFATA reporting. As a result of this finding, the procedure has been updated to report bi-weekly rather than monthly to ensure reporting under 30 days. The GMO Director will also provide continuous training to staff outside of the GMO to ensure staffing will not become a barrier, as experienced in early 2026. As of June 1, 2026, all FFATA entries as of the May 25th purchase order (R071) report have been reported. Additionally, as we plan for the forthcoming electronic grants management system (eGMS) we’re in discussion to add a report feature that will provide needed info for FFATA entry i.e., UEI, FAIN, award amount and purchase order # to automate the process. SEFA Reporting Compliance: Prior to the submission of the SEFA, the grant expenditures will be reviewed with the Accounting Officer, The AFO, and the Grants Program Manager for a detailed review of the SEFA to confirm expenditures are correctly categorized by fund and grants, reconciles to the DIFS R019 report and reflects the amount expended for sub-recipients. Effective FY26, subrecipient totals are uniquely identified with an account number that will reflect in the R019 report as a subset of total expenditures. This report will be used to complete the SEFA going forward.

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) concurs with the auditor’s finding and recommendations related to this finding. This oversight occurred during the transition to the new corrective action plan instituted during the prior fiscal year. OSSE is confident in its new review process of FFATA that will prevent the underlying reporting issue from recurring. OCFO concurs with the auditor’s finding. The original classification reflected OCFO’s judgment during report compilation rather than lack of control. Based on the initial analysis, the OCFO had not bifurcated the amount of the subrecipients’, School Food Authorities (SFAs) and Food Service Program Sponsors (SFSPs), expenditures in the SEFA under the Passed Through to Subrecipients column. CNC program operated as a reimbursement mechanism where School Food Authorities (SFAs) and Summer Food Services Program (SFSP) Sponsors received payments as Subrecipients. Subsequently reviewed, OCFO bifurcated the related expenditure in the SEFA, which resulted in updating the SEFA accordingly. OCFO remains committed to complying with its policies and procedures and will implement an additional layer of review to ensure the accuracy of the SEFA.

Finding #2025-002 – Reporting – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: Department of Treasury, Passed through Harris County, Texas, Assistance Listing #: 21.027 – COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, Contract Number: SLFRFP1966, Contract Year: 10/31/24 – 12/31/26. Condition and context: MAM incurred qualifying construction expenditures that were properly recorded as CIP. However, MAM did not record government grant revenue or a related grants receivable for the qualifying expenditures incurred during the fiscal year and did not identify or include the qualifying expenditures incurred during the fiscal year on the SEFA. Recommendation: Develop policies and procedures to identify and reflect all federal programs on the SEFA, reconcile the federal expenditures to the federal program revenue on a routine basis, and formalize the independent review process for the SEFA and grant billings. Planned corrective action: See finding #2025-001. Responsible officer: See finding #2025-001. Estimated completion date: See finding #2025-001.

Finding 2025-001 – Accuracy of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) The ALN numbers identified as incorrect were on 16.588 & 16.575 under the Violence Against Women Formula Grant. These two numbers were inadvertently transposed during preparation of the SEFA. Out of the 20 ALN numbers reported, only these two were inaccurate. All expenditures reported on the SEFA were based on actual expenditures incurred consistent with prior guidance provided by the auditor. During the previous audit cycle, VALOR’s accountant sought clarification regarding whether expenditures should be reported based on actual expenditures or reimbursement amounts and was instructed to use actual expenditures incurred. In accordance with 2 CFR 200.510(b), auditees must prepare a SEFA that accurately identifies programs by the correct ALN and reports expenditures based on actual amounts expended from federal awards. Except for the inadvertent transposition of the two ALN numbers noted above, the SEFA was prepared in compliance with these requirements. As a corrective action, beginning with the next SEFA report for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the SEFA will be prepared by the Senior Accountant, Karen Sayers, and reviewed by both the Director of Operations, Rosemary Gonzales, and the organization’s CPA, Kim Jones, prior to submission to verify the accuracy of all ALN numbers and reported amounts.

Finding 2025-002 – Incomplete Subrecipient Agreements and Inaccurate Subrecipient SEFA Reporting Subrecipient agreements were executed based on California’s State Administrator of federal funds (CalOES) requirements applicable to second-tier subawards. Based on guidance provided during Federal Grants Advanced Training and the 2025 CalOES Subrecipient Handbook (page 65), entities receiving pass-through funding from the state are required to follow CalOES second-tier subaward requirements. Accordingly, VALOR’s agreements include the elements required for second-tier subawards. Elements of a Second-Tier Subaward (From the 2025 CalOES Subrecipient Handbook) The following elements must be included in a Second-Tier Subaward: • Name of the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, • The titles and contact information for the individuals that will serve as the primary contacts,• The timeframe of the agreement (this must cover the Grant Subaward performance period), • The roles and responsibilities (as they relate to the specific Grant Subaward) of the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, • Specific information concerning all non-fiscal resources shared between the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, • Reporting requirements necessary for the Subrecipient Organization to meet Cal OES reporting requirements, • Signatures of the chief executive or designee of the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, including the dates of those signatures, and • Specific information concerning the transfer of any Grant Subaward funds from the Subrecipient Organization to the participating agency/organization. At a minimum, this information must include the total amount of Grant Subaward funds that will be transferred, the process for transferring the Grant Subaward funds (e.g., monthly invoices, payment based on deliverables), what the Grant Subaward funds will be used for, and any match contribution provided by the participating agency/organization. Any funds included in the Second-Tier Subaward must be clearly designated (not itemized) in the Grant Subaward Budget Pages (Cal OES Form 2-106a or b). Additionally, second tier subrecipients are prohibited from charging indirect costs; therefore, indirect cost provisions were not included in the agreements. Based on the above, management believes the subrecipient agreements substantially complied with applicable CalOES requirements. Any omissions identified were administrative in nature and did not impact program performance, allowability of costs, or oversight of subrecipient activities. To strengthen internal controls and ensure full compliance with all applicable grant requirements, beginning January 1, 2027, VALOR’s Director of Operations, Rosemary Gonzales, will include all required elements identified in the finding in future subrecipient agreements. In addition, VALOR will review subrecipient Single Audit reports to verify that applicable grant funding is properly reported on the SEFA. VALOR will also notify subrecipients of the requirement to include these amounts in their future SEFA reporting. Contracts for the current year, 2026, have already been signed.

Classification Material Weakness Responsible Official Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date December 31, 2026 Management Response Management concurs with the finding. OIC will formalize federal award tracking and SEFA preparation procedures to ensure federal expenditures are complete, accurate, and readily identifiable by program. Corrective Action Plan 1. Assign grant codes and Assistance Listing Number identifiers within the accounting system to track federal expenditures by award, funding source, and program. 2. Prepare quarterly SEFA reconciliations to the general ledger, grant records, reimbursement requests, and supporting documentation. 3. Incorporate a SEFA preparation checklist into year-end closing procedures and submit the draft SEFA to the Audit Committee before audit fieldwork. Management will monitor corrective action progress and provide periodic updates to executive leadership, the Finance Committee, Audit Committee, and Board of Directors until all findings are remediated. Management believes these actions will strengthen internal controls, improve audit readiness, and reduce the risk of future findings.

The SEFA will be independently reviewed by the Finance Director and compared to grant expenditure reports before the audit commences. Management will engage its external accountants earlier in the year-end close process.

Federal Program: 93.045/93.053, Department of Health and Human Services, Aging Cluster Condition per Auditor: The County did not maintain effective internal control over the reconciliation of expenditures reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) to amounts billed to the funding agency. Planned Corrective Action: The County has established procedures for reconciling general ledger activity to supporting documentation and Federal Financial Reports (FFRs/FSRs) throughout the fiscal year, including additional reconciliation procedures performed at year end to capture late or adjusting entries. The condition was further impacted by timing differences between departmental reporting and subsequent adjusting entries, as well as the aggregation of adjustments across multiple programs without sufficient program level detail at the time of review. While follow up was initiated to obtain supporting breakdowns, the process did not require resolution of these items prior to final classification and inclusion in year end reporting.The County is strengthening internal controls over grant related financial activity and SEFA preparation by enhancing and enforcing requirements for accurate transaction recording, supporting documentation, and independent validation.Key improvements include:• Enhanced documentation and classification requirements for grant related entries • Strengthened review and validation controls to ensure proper support and classification • Improved reconciliation and adjustment protocols, including post reporting revalidation • Control enforcement and escalation for unsupported or unresolved items • Training and guidance on federal compliance requirements Anticipated Completion Date: 9/30/2026 Responsible Contact Person: Shauntika Bullard

SEFA Reporting Significant Deficiency - Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A and B Management’s Views and Opinion Sunset Park Health Council, Inc. acknowledges the finding and agrees that the Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America — Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A and B grant should have been identified and reported as a federal award on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (“SEFA”) beginning with the applicable award period. Management notes that the omission resulted from the Assistance Listing Number (“ALN”) not being identified at the time of the initial grant setup, which impacted the subsequent classification of the award for SEFA reporting purposes. Once identified during the FY2025 audit process, management corrected the matter by including the cumulative federal expenditures under the award on the FY2025 SEFA. Management also notes that there were no questioned costs and that the omission did not impact the prior-year major program determinations. Sunset Park is committed to strengthening its grant setup, award identification, and SEFA review controls to ensure that all federal awards, including federal pass-through awards, are accurately identified, classified, and reported in accordance with Uniform Guidance. The corrective actions described below are intended to improve the completeness and accuracy of federal award reporting and to prevent similar omissions in future reporting periods. Corrective Action Plan: To mitigate this risk, the following controls and procedures will be implemented: 1. Quarterly Grant Review All active and new grants will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Director of Grants and Grant Accountants to ensure completeness and accuracy of key award data, including CFDA/ALN identification. Any discrepancies will be identified and corrected timely. 2. AAW (Award Authorization Workflow) Control All Award Authorization Work (AAW) forms submitted to NYU Research Data Management (RDM) will require review and initial approval by the Director of Grants prior to submission, confirming that all required fields, including CFDA/ALN, are complete. 3. RDM Submission Verification Each submission to RDM will require confirmation and acknowledgment that all award data has been properly entered and recorded for both new and existing grants. 4. Chartstring Verification Control As part of the chartstring distribution process, Grant Accountants will confirm that all relevant grant attributes, including CFDA/ALN numbers, have been accurately established and communicated to program teams. 5. SEFA and Interim Review Procedures During interim reviews and annual SEFA preparation, each Grant Accountant will verify that all assigned grants are properly classified as federal or non-federal and that all applicable CFDA/ALN numbers are included and accurately reported. Responsible Parties: • Director of Grants • Grant Accountants • NYU Research Data Management (RDM) Implementation Timeline: Full implementation of corrective actions by August 31, 2026 Training: Grants Fiscal staff will undergo CFDA/ALN identification and SEFA reporting training by August 31, 2026. Training will be recorded and incorporated into onboarding for new staff. Conclusion: These corrective actions strengthen internal controls over grant setup and reporting, ensuring accurate identification of federal funding sources and completeness of SEFA reporting in compliance with Uniform Guidance.
