Corrective Action Plans

Finding 2025-001 – Reporting – Late Data Collection Form Submission Condition: The audited financial statements were not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the due date of June 30, 2026. Questioned Costs: None. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.512, an entity expending more than $750,000 of federal funds within a fiscal year must submit the data collection form and reporting package by a due date that is the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s) or nine months after the year end of the audit period. Cause: We requested information relating to the completion of the audit. This information was not provided on a timely basis, causing the filing for that audit to be late. Effect: The School District was not in compliance with Uniform Guidance, which could lead to sanctions by the funding agencies. Recommendation: We recommend the School District organize and provide requested information on a timely basis to ensure completion of the audit by June 30 of each year. Views of Responsible Officials: The District was without a Business Manager for the audit period and as such relied on the Financial Consultant to submit the majority of audit information. The Consultant was unable to meet deadlines for submitting audit information. With the employment of a Business Manager for the 2025-26 fiscal year, the District is planning to be more timely with the submission of records to the audit firm.

2025-001 - SEFA REPORTING Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization review and address personnel and cross-staffing needs, specifically in the event of an emergency, to ensure timely reporting and submission in accordance with federal regulations. Action Taken: • The agency will develop and maintain an audit preparation timeline with milestone deadlines • Executive Leadership Team members will participate in cross-training on audit preparation.

The District will review and update necessary policies and procedures to ensure that District records are ready for audit, supported by adequate documentation, and audited within nine months after year-end.

Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The audit of the Academy’s SEFA for the year ended June 30, 2025, was not completed within the nine-month reporting period.

April 27, 2026 Person responsible: Teresa Council, Executive Director Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Section III – Federal Awards Findings and Questioned Costs Item 2025 – 001 Federal Assistance Listing Number: 10.558 – Child and Adult Care Food Program Federal Assistance Listing Number: 93.575 – Child Care and Development Block Grant – CCDF Cluster Condition The Organization’s Data Collection Form submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse was not filed on time within nine months of the end of its fiscal year. Current Status The delay in submission to the FAC was due to a combination of factors, including the extended time required to prepare the fiscal year 2025 financial statements and compile supporting documentation, as well as delays in the completion of the audit process. To support timely future submissions, the Organization will implement the recommended control procedures and adopt an internal timeline beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. In addition, the audit process will be initiated earlier to ensure completion and submission by the established deadline of March 31, 2027.

Management acknowledges the delay in submitting the audit report due to staff capacity limitations. To prevent recurrence, they have established a formal year-end audit planning calendar with interim documentation deadlines and have implemented a structured, pre-audit check-list process to ensure all documentation is finalized and reviewed at least 30 days prior to the deadline.

FINDING 2025-017 Name of Responsible Individual: Director of Post Award Compliance and Training Senior Associate Vice President of Financial Strategy Corrective Action: In response to the auditor’s recommendation to strengthen internal controls and ensure timely submission of the Single Audit Report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, Howard University will enhance cross collaboration across the University to improve audit readiness. During the May 2025 transition from the Grants and Contracts Accounting Office to the Sponsored Awards Office, the University experienced significant staff turnover and a loss of institutional knowledge, which contributed to audit readiness challenges. Since that time, the University has focused on stabilization efforts. The Office of Research Sponsored Programs has been restructured and is now almost fully staffed. The University will be establishing monthly check ins with key stakeholders to ensure adherence to a compliance calendar with clearly defined roles and responsibilities across core compliance areas. Additionally, the University has hired a Director of Post Award Compliance and Training to lead audit readiness efforts, strengthen internal controls, and support ongoing monitoring and compliance throughout the fiscal year. Anticipated Completion Date: March 31, 2027

The Municipality shall establish procedures, training programs, and internal controls to ensure compliance with the preparation and timely submission of the Single Audit Report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, as required by the OMB Super Circular Uniform Guidance and in accordance with the nine-month deadline established therein. In addition, the Department of Finance will monitor the progress of the work, including the preparation of financial statements, as well as the external audit and the single audit, so that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, the reports are submitted by the established deadline of no later than March 31, 2027.

The auditee will finalize and submit future Single Audit reporting packages within the Uniform Guidance deadlines and will periodically review compliance procedures as part of its internal control monitoring activities.

Finding Number: 2025‐001 Program Names/Assistance Listing Titles: Assistance Listing Numbers: Impact Aid 84.041 Education Stabilization Fund 84.425 Contact Person: Arlene Laughter, Business Coordinator Anticipated Completion Date: December 2026 Planned Corrective Action: The District intends to strengthen controls over all financial reporting and records retention to ensure that all documentation is properly prepared and accessible for the timely completion of financial reports. With the recent addition of an experienced Payroll Specialist and the ongoing recruitment for a GFA Specialist, the District will address all relevant areas, thereby facilitating compliance with required reporting deadlines. Reason Findings Were Not Corrected: The Business Office has experienced staffing shortages in key departments, including Payroll, Grants Management, and General Fixed Assets, each of which is responsible for meeting critical deadlines. Due to these staffing constraints, the District was unable to dedicate adequate resources to fulfill the required timelines and ensure that all documents were properly prepared and available for completion of the financial reports.

Berks Counseling Center submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Herbein + Company, 2763 Century Boulevard, Reading, PA 19610 Audit period: Year ended June 30, 2025 Contact: Greg Little, Chief Financial Officer The finding from the June 30, 2025 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Section III - Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs 2025-001 REPORTING - NONCOMPLIANCE Federal Program All federal programs Criteria Per 2 CFR 200.512(a), auditees must submit the reporting package and Data Collection Form within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition The Organization did not submit the Single Audit reporting package and Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe of nine months after the end of the audit period. The 2025 reporting package was not submitted by the March 30, 2026 due date. Cause Delay in year-end close of the financial information and delays in providing the information to complete the audit. Effect The delay in the submission of the Data Collection Form and audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse will result in the Organization not being considered a low-risk auditee as defined by the Uniform Guidance for the following two years. Questioned Costs None Context The lack of financial staff resources to timely close the accounting records resulted in delays. The Organization has hired an additional accounting staff and will review its internal procedures for timely closing. Repeat Finding No Recommendation We recommend that Organization develop a formal year-end closing schedule that indicates personnel responsibilities and corresponding time requirements, to allow for timely completion of year-end work in preparation for the annual audit and to ensure reporting deadlines are met. Management Response Berks Counseling Center has reviewed the recommendation noted above and is working to create additional year-end closing procedures, which include additional staff time by a recently added staff member. These procedures will assist in timely year-end close which will allow for completion of the audit and submission of the Single Audit reporting package and Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe.

The District acknowledges the finding. Upon internal review, it was determined that while the submission process for the 2024 fiscal year was initiated in a timely manner, it remained in a ""pending"" status because staff were unaware of the subsequent certification and submission steps required following the initial data upload. To ensure all future submissions reach submitted status by the regulatory deadline, the District will implement the following corrective measures: ● Step-by-Step Submission Checklist: The Business Office will develop a Federal Submission Workflow Document. This checklist will outline the phases of the process to ensure no step is overlooked. ● Staff Cross-Training: To mitigate the risk of a single-point failure, two staff members will be trained on the portal requirements. This ensures that the technical knowledge of the multi-step certification process is maintained within the department despite any potential

Management plans to revamp procedures to ensure that the reports are filed in a timely manner in the future.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action CRRUA’s fiscal agent, Dona Ana County, implemented a new ERP system, along with key staff changes, that necessitated financial documentation being run several times which delayed complete financial information being provided to the audit team. CRRUA has a new fiscal agent, the City of Sunland Park, for the upcoming fiscal year. CRRUA Board approval of fiscal agent happened in July 2026. CRRUA’s new fiscal agent, the City of Sunland Park, started providing services in FY26. Executive director and assistant director will work with the City of Sunland Park to ensure timely submission of information to the audit team. Finding resolution timeline: June 30, 2026 Designation of employee position responsible for meeting this deadline: Juan Carlos Crosby, Executive Director and David Espinoza, Assistant Director

Recommendation: Controls should be implemented to ensure timely filing of the audit package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Views of Responsible Officials: The Organization agrees with the auditors’ recommendation.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management Response: Management concurs with the finding. In prior years, the Single Audit Reporting Package was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse due to an internal misunderstanding of management’s responsibility for submission. With the engagement of a new audit firm, management has clarified these responsibilities. Corrective Action Plan: Management will formally designate responsibility for the timely submission of the Single Audit Reporting Package to a specific member of the finance department. In addition, management will implement a review process to confirm submission and receipt acknowledgment from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Responsible Official: Kimberly Burt, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: Management anticipates the filing will be completed within 30 days of the audit report date.

2025-007 – Late Audit Report Corrective action plan: Management reviewed existing accounting staffing structure, revised position descriptions, and have advertised to fill two of three open positions. Management feels with these revised position descriptions, more focus on accounting operations and procedures. Personnel responsible for corrective action: Heather King, Interim Chief Executive Officer Estimated corrective action completion date: June 2026

Management will continue to submit documentation, data and other information in a timely manner. Obtaining the additional legal information requested by our external auditors through the confirmation process was delayed due to certain attorneys not being present in the office due to vacationing and/or handling other court cases. Although these things are not within the control of the Lafayette Parish School Board, management will be proactive in coordinating efforts between both parties; auditors and attorneys.

Finding 2025-05 Late Submission Corrective Action Plan – The District will update its policies and procedures to ensure that District records are ready for audit, supported by adequate documentation, and audited within nine months after year-end. Person Responsible – Drew Semingson Timing for Implementation – Ongoing

The University acknowledges the auditor’s finding regarding the late submission of the June 30, 2025, Single Audit reporting package. Although the submission exceeded the required federal deadline by only one day, management recognizes that any delay constitutes noncompliance with 2 CFR 200.512(a), and we take full responsibility for this timing exception. Over the past six months, the University has undertaken significant steps to strengthen its financial, accounting, and compliance infrastructure. As part of this effort, the University has hired several key leaders and staff members, including a new Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, a Controller, and a Director of Financial Aid, among other critical staff additions. These new appointments have already begun enhancing oversight, accountability, and operational capacity within the Financial Affairs and Student Financial Aid functions. The slight delay in the FY 2025 submission occurred during a period of substantial organizational transition, when newly onboarded leadership was assessing existing workflows and implementing corrective improvements. To ensure that no future deadlines are missed—and to fully eliminate repeat findings—the University has established enhanced internal controls and strengthened reporting processes, including: • Implementing a detailed Single Audit reporting calendar with accelerated internal milestones. • Assigning clear roles, responsibilities, and escalation procedures across all involved departments. • Deploying an automated tracking and reminder system for federal reporting deadlines. • Conducting quarterly compliance and readiness reviews to ensure alignment with Uniform Guidance requirements. Management is committed to ensuring timely and accurate compliance with all federal reporting obligations. With the addition of new, experienced leadership and the implementation of strengthened processes, the University is confident that this issue has been addressed and will not recur.

The Authority agrees with the finding and will strengthen its internal procedures to ensure timely submission of the Federal Audit Clearinghouse reporting package going forward.

The organization anticipates that these improvements will allow for the audit to be completed within the required timeframe in the upcoming cycle. Anticipated completion date: October 2026
