The officials responsible for Student Accounts acknowledge that certain student financial aid refunds were processed outside the 14-day federal deadline, primarily due to insufficient Title IV training during the initial transfer of responsibilities to Student Accounts. While a standard operating procedures (SOP) exists within the current refunds training, it is limited, focusing primarily on the reports and some of federal requirements but does not provide sufficient detail on regulations, reviews, approvals, and timelines. Student Accounts has already taken steps to address and correct the misinformation, but additional improvements are still needed. The SOP for refunds is currently in progress to fully incorporate all necessary items to ensure better and clearer training guidelines. Mandatory Title IV refund training will be provided to all Refund Representatives and included in onboarding for new hire. We shall set established expectations set for all individuals involved in the process, including their delegates, to ensure accountability and consistent application of procedures. Ongoing collaboration with Financial Aid will ensure procedures are consistently applied, questions are addressed, and staff remain current with requirements. These actions are expected to ensure compliance with the 14-day federal requirement, strengthen staff competency, and support continuous improvement in refund processing. Person(s) Responsible: Student Accounts Manager (training), Associate Vice President & Controller Targeted Correction Date: June 30, 2026

At the end of the 2023–24 award year, responsibility for generating Return of Title IV (R2T4) withdrawal lists transitioned from the Business Office to the Financial Aid Office. The Financial Aid Office began producing both official withdrawal and unofficial (non-passing grade) reports through Ellucian Banner. Because the two reports produced nearly identical student listings, it was assumed that the Banner-generated unofficial withdrawal report was effectively identifying all students who had received non-passing grades.During an internal audit conducted at the end of the Spring 2025 semester, the University identified one student who had failed all courses and was not included on either of the R2T4 lists. Upon further review, the issue was traced to a reporting limitation within Banner that excluded some students with all failing grades from the population used for R2T4 review. To resolve this, the Financial Aid Office coordinated with the Registrar’s Office to obtain a complete list of students who officially withdrew and students with all non-passing grades once final grades were submitted. R2T4 calculations were subsequently performed for applicable students identified in this additional list. Since Spring 2025, the University has institutionalized this revised procedure. The Registrar’s Office now provides the Financial Aid Office with a list of all students with non-passing grades at the end of each semester once grades are submitted. The Financial Aid Office reviews both reports to identify potential unofficial withdrawals and performs R2T4 calculations as required. To strengthen oversight and prevent future omissions during staffing transitions or process changes, the University will: • Document the revised R2T4 identification and review process in the Financial Aid operations manual. • Clearly assign responsibility for report generation, review, and follow-up between the Registrar’s Office and Financial Aid Office. • Implement a quarterly internal cross-check to confirm all required R2T4 reviews are completed. Person(s) Responsible: Associate Director of Financial Aid and Director of Financial Aid. Correction Date: January 31, 2026. This issue is resolved.

The University has made substantial progress toward completing the remaining elements required under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and aligning its program with the FTC Safeguards Rule. Full implementation timelines are primarily constrained by current staffing capacity within ITS/Cybersecurity and Legal, as well as certain technical tool limitations (e.g., data discovery and validation). Despite these constraints, notable progress has been achieved across the required FTC Safeguards Program elements as summarized below: • Element 1 – Designate a Qualified Individual: Completed. Qualified individual appointed to implement and supervise the company’s information security program; reporting mechanisms to the Board established. Completion is confirmed based on oversight and execution of subsequent program elements. • Element 2 – Conduct a Risk Assessment: Completed. Initial risk assessment conducted to identify reasonably foreseeable threats; controls and priorities for Elements 3–9 is being guided by this assessment. • Element 3 – Access Controls & Data Classification: 70% complete. Policies finalized; multi- factor authentication (MFA) implemented; initial asset inventory completed. Data owner assignments and detailed access reviews are in progress. • Element 4 – Vulnerability Management: Complete. Latest penetration testing identified no critical findings. • Element 5 – Information Security Policies: Drafted and pending Legal review; Board acceptance scheduled for March 2026. • Element 6 – Third-Party Oversight: 70% complete. Policy and workflow developed; Board acceptance scheduled for March 2026. • Element 7 – Periodic Risk Assessments: 80% complete. Updated risk assessment currently in progress. • Element 8 – Incident Response Plan: 90% complete. Final reporting and approval scheduled for March 2026. • Element 9 – Qualified Individual & Board Reporting: 90% complete. Annual report scheduled for March 2026. • Red Flags Rule (Identity Theft Prevention): 50% complete. Policy drafted, complete comprehensive program, formal procedures and additional trainings still required. Next Steps: Remaining actions will be completed as Legal and Board approvals are obtained and staffing capacity allows. HPU will continue to develop and retain documentation supporting the completion and implementation of each safeguard element, as prescribed by GLBA. Periodic internal assessments of the Information Security Program will be scheduled following full implementation, with consideration given to engaging an independent third party for future reviews. Person(s) Responsible: Information Security Officer; Vice President of Operations and Chief Information Officer. Targeted Correction Date: March 31, 2026.

Finding 2025-003: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance – Eligibility Program: 64.055 Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program Planned Corrective Action: To address the identified material weakness and ensure future compliance with SSG Fox SPGP eligibility and documentation requirements, the organization has implemented the following systemic enhancements: • Standardized Eligibility Controls: The organization has developed and deployed a mandatory Case File Compliance Checklist for all program participants. This control ensures that all federally mandated documentation—including signed program agreements, grievance procedures, religious protections, individualized service plans, and all five required baseline mental health screenings—is present and verified for every file. • Enhanced Management Oversight: To ensure the effectiveness of these controls, the Department Director has implemented a Monthly Quality Assurance (QA) Review. On a monthly basis, the Director will perform a formal audit of active case files to verify compliance. This review will be documented via a formal sign-off, providing a clear audit trail of supervisory oversight. • Records Retention & Security: Management oversight has been expanded to include specific verification of Data Integrity and Retention. Monthly reviews will ensure that all required documentation is maintained in accordance with 2 CFR § 200 standards—ensuring records are secure, unalterable, and readily accessible for future audits. • Continuous Professional Development: The organization has institutionalized a Mandatory Training Curriculum. All relevant staff will undergo initial onboarding and recurring periodic training focused on SSG Fox SPGP compliance standards, participant eligibility, and rigorous documentation procedures. • Personnel Realignment: The organization has undergone a restructuring of the program staff to ensure that all personnel are fully aligned with the agency's internal control environment and commitment to federal compliance.

Management is reviewing and strengthening the Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP) to ensure compliance with regulatory and internal requirements. Corrective actions focus on clarifying income verification and documentation standards, enhancing staff training, and implementing periodic monitoring to ensure consistent application of the sliding fee scale. As part of these efforts, Clinica Romero conducted a robust and targeted staff training through the CMOAR Clinical & Administrative Operations Training on February 21 and February 28, 2026. The training included 74 staff members and covered SFDP eligibility, income verification, documentation requirements, and proper application of discounts in alignment with HRSA Program Requirement. Expected outcomes include improved consistency in SFDP application across departments, increased staff understanding of compliance requirements, fewer incomplete or unsupported applications, and stronger documentation and audit readiness. Clinica will monitor closely and supervise the perfect execution of the sliding fee scale application, and it will set accountability standards for the application of the sliding fee scale.

Julio Alicea Vasallo, Mayor Contact Person: Mrs. Honoris Machado, Finance Director Phone: (787) 788-0404 Original Finding Number: 2025-004 Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: We concur we the finding. Corrective Action: Corrective Action Implemented 1. Request for Technical Assistance Technical assistance was requested from the corresponding state agency and all municipal components involved in the process, with the purpose of: • Establishing a structured work plan. • Aligning compliance processes. • Clearly defining the documentation required for quarterly reports. • Reviewing the processes of the Fiscal Monitoring System Portal. • Incorporating technical recommendations issued by the agency. 2. Measures Adopted by This Office As a result of the technical assistance, the following corrective actions were implemented: • Development of a Required Documentation Checklist to standardize the collection of information. • Clear definition of the scope of collaborative work among offices. • Formal establishment of tasks, roles, and responsibilities. • Assignment and monitoring of the limited staff designated by the office. • Update of the Fiscal Monitoring System Portal to grant access to newly authorized personnel. • A deadline will be established for the submission of the quarterly report, thereby ensuring compliance with the minimum percentage required by the program under the quality activities category. Results Achieved As a result of the implementation of the corrective action plan: • The required information from the various municipal offices was collected completely and in a timely manner. • The quarterly report was submitted by the established deadline (01/15/2026). • The agency validated compliance (01/30/2026). • The disbursement of funds was successfully received (02/04/2026). Evidence of Effectiveness • Compliance with the established deadline. • Confirmation of receipt and approval of the report. • Disbursement processed without findings or additional requirements. • Strengthened interdepartmental coordination. • A documented and standardized process for future quarterly cycles.

2025-001: Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: Educational Stabilization Fund ASSISTANCE LISTING Numbers: 84.425C – Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund 84.425R – Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools 84.425U – Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund 84.425V – Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools Award Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matter Recommendation: We recommend that the University evaluate its cutoff procedures to ensure that federal costs are identified and reported in the correct fiscal year. We also recommend that the University evaluate its internal controls to ensure that federal awards are properly identified as such at inception. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: OSU is implementing a campus-wide Administrative Modernization Program (AMP) to update technology, improve efficiencies, and ensure a comprehensive internal control environment. This modernization includes redesigning the university’s administrative and grant processes, including budget development, payroll lifecycle, employee recruitment, grant effort reporting, procurement, and others. A primary aspect of this optimization is a transition of the university’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system from Banner to Workday effective July 1, 2026. To reflect this system transition, OSU’s actions in response to the finding will be taken in two stages: 1. For FY26, the Division of Research and Innovation (DRI) will run reports and screen for anomalies and mismatches of revenue type and fund type to identify awards with the correct federal fund when a federal program is identified with an ALN#. The screening will take place before the fiscal year end, allowing time for corrections to be made in Banner while the fiscal year is still active. 2. For FY27 and beyond, rather than a warning, critical custom validations will be required and established in Workday as follows: • Any award that uses an ALN# also must include the appropriate Fund and Revenue Category worktags on the award line • Any award with a federal sponsor or federal prime sponsor must have ALN# entered • Any award with a federal sponsor or federal prime sponsor must include the appropriate Fund and Revenue Category worktag on the award line Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Jennifer Creighton, Associate Vice President for Research Administration, Finance and Operations Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Corrective action to screen for anomalies and mismatches of revenue type and fund type in Banner to ensure awards are identified with the correct federal fund will occur by June 30, 2026. The establishment of custom validations in Workday to ensure identification of federal awards will occur and be ongoing with the new system implementation after July 1, 2026.
