Corrective Action Plan for the Year Ending June 30, 2025 Finding 2025-001: Significant Deficiency – Lack of Documented Controls – Cash Management Program: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing Number: various Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Federal Award Identification Number: various Federal Award Year: June 30, 2025 Repeat Finding: 2024-001 Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires recipients of federal awards to administer its federal programs with an adequate system of internal controls over applicable compliance requirements. Condition/Context: For six of eight selected G5/G6 Title IV drawdown transactions, there was no documented internal controls in place over cash management drawdowns. Despite the lack of documented controls over the cash drawdowns, there were no compliance exceptions noted. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Cause: The College indicated the control of review was more informal/verbal and although had started documenting via email during the year, the documentation was not maintained. Questioned Costs: Not applicable Effect: The College could drawdown an incorrect amount although compensation controls/reconciliations would likely catch the error. Recommendation: The College should document controls in place to ensure cash drawdowns are complete and accurate. This should include a review by someone other than the preparer prior to the drawdown being requested in G5/G6. Action Taken: Management concurs with the finding and has taken the appropriate actions to remediate the significant deficiency. The team has made improvements to become more formal by implementing written communication among all members involved in the process. Each member of their respective roles are communicating through email presenting the step by step process of the review and approval before the drawdown of cash from G5/G6. Name(s) of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Kevin Brand, Director of Operations and Systems for Financial Aid; Laurie Klizos, Director of Student Accounts; Seong Nevins, Controller. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026 Signed by Charlie Faas and Jim Brooks

Cash Management - Excess Cash on Hand Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing of cash management for campus-based aid, we noted one instance out of six drawdowns tested, that the College drew down Federal Work Study funds that were not needed for immediate disbursement, and was not returned timely. As a result of this condition, the College was not in compliance with the Uniform Guidance cash management principles. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College strengthen its cash‑management controls to ensure Title IV drawdowns are limited to immediate disbursement needs, reconciled promptly, and any excess cash is identified and returned within required regulatory timeframes. Corrective Action. The College is enhancing its federal cash management practices by limiting drawdowns for campus‑based programs, including Federal Work‑Study, to immediate disbursement needs. Drawdowns are now based on a documented three‑day cash needs forecast to ensure compliance with federal requirements. A standardized drawdown checklist requires staff to reconcile all G5 activity to the general ledger and subsidiary ledgers on the same day funds are drawn or disbursed. Any excess cash identified through this process is returned to the Department of Education via G5 within one business day. Monthly management reviews monitor drawdown timing, cash balances, and reconciliation trends to ensure continued compliance. Staff have been retrained on updated cash management procedures, and quarterly monitoring reports are produced and retained as evidence of ongoing compliance with federal cash management standards. Responsible Person. Jennifer Stimson, Director of Financial Aid with support from Scott Kemmer-Slater, Director of Accounting. Anticipated Completion Date. June 30, 2026

Student Credit Balance Exceeding Fourteen Days Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing, we identified one instance in which a student’s credit balance remained outstanding beyond the required 14‑day timeframe. As a result of this condition, the College was not in compliance with the Uniform Guidance requirements governing the timely disbursement of student credit balances. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College implement procedures to ensure all voided refunds are reviewed and resolved within the fourteen day period to ensure there are no credit balances that are unaddressed. Corrective Action. The College is strengthening its procedures to ensure student credit balances are processed, refunded, or returned within the federally required 14‑day timeframe. When a student requests a stop payment, hold, or void, the student must now email both the Business Office and Financial Aid Office from their official MCC student email account. Requests must include the type of action needed and the reason for it. The Directors of Accounting and Financial Aid, or designated authorized personnel, review and approve each request before any action is taken. The Business Office then issues the stop payment, hold, or void in accordance with internal procedures, while Financial Aid returns funds to the appropriate agency when applicable. For internal staff‑initiated stop or void actions, employees must email the Directors with justification explaining why the request is being initiated by staff rather than the student. Both offices collaborate to determine appropriate action, ensure the disbursement is adjusted, coordinate the timing of any required return of funds, and communicate updates to the student. These procedures ensure all credit balance transactions are processed within the 14‑day limit and are documented consistently to maintain federal compliance. Responsible Person. Scott Kemmer-Slater, Director of Accounting and Jennifer Simson, Director of Financial Aid, jointly. Anticipated Completion Date. June 30, 2026

Cost of Attendance Calculation Inputs Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing of the College’s cost of attendance (COA) calculations, we identified inconsistencies between the COA component amounts recorded in the system and the amounts documented on the College’s COA calculation sheet. For instance, the College's tuition component was supposed to be based on credit intensity, but instead was being calculated using the student's enrollment status (e.g., full-time, half-time, etc.). Additionally, the College included direct loan fees in every students COA, even if they were not a direct loan receiving student. As a result, COA amounts used in awarding Title IV aid were being understated, preventing some students from potentially receiving additional aid they were entitled to. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College establish and adhere to review procedures to ensure that all inputs used in the COA calculation are accurate, complete, and consistent with approved documentation. Corrective Action. Management is actively enhancing the College’s Cost of Attendance (COA) processes to ensure all inputs—particularly tuition, loan fees, and enrollment‑related components—accurately reflect approved documentation and federal requirements. The Financial Aid Office has reconfigured PowerFAIDS to calculate tuition based on credit intensity rather than enrollment status, and loan fees are now included only for students who actually borrow federal loans. An annual COA governance and approval process is now in place, requiring review and authorization by the Vice President of Finance and Administration before COA figures are built into the system. All COA entries in PowerFAIDS undergo an independent verification against the approved COA worksheet as part of a “build‑to‑proof” procedure. Spot checks are conducted at the start of each term to ensure accuracy across enrollment levels, and all mid‑year changes are documented using a formal change‑control log. Responsible Person. Jennifer Stimson, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date. March 31, 2026
