Finding 2024-012 – Material Weakness – Maintenance of Effort Condition The Maintenance of Effort (MOE) calculation is calculated annually by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (WI DPI) based on the information submitted in the PI-1505 report. There was a $16,977,949 variance between what was reported in the PI-1505 and the District's accounting records for the revenue source code 751. Due to this variance, we recalculated the MOE based on the District's accounting records. The MOE on a per pupil basis would have still been met. Corrective Action Plan The Office of Finance is committed to timely and accurate financial reporting. As we aim to improve our financial reporting due to DPI, our ACFR preparation and our SEFSA preparation, we will ensure that our reporting reconciles and there are no variances. We are working to improve, as mentioned in all the findings above, related to financial reporting. We recognize that this is critical for funding purposes for our district and it is our intent that this finding is remedied for FY25 reporting.

Finding 2024-010 – Material Weakness – Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Condition The District supports time charged to federal awards via semi-annual certifications which are approved by the grant administrator or the building principal. In order for a cost to be supported at the time of final reimbursement, the semi-annual certifications should be approved by the grant administrator or the building principal. Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies (ALN 84.010) The final reimbursement claim for the Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies (Title I) program were due to Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) on September 30, 2024; however, the final reimbursement claim for the Part A award was not submitted to DPI until November 18, 2024, and the CSI award was not submitted to DPI until October 1, 2024, due to an extension. Five of the 40 individuals sampled had their semi-annual certifications not approved timely and were approved after the due date of the final reimbursement claim, but before the date of the actual submission of the final reimbursement claim. An additional two individuals of the 40 sampled had their semi-annual certifications approved after the final reimbursement claims were submitted. Upon further review of all the spring semi-annual certifications for the Title I awards, there were an additional 50 individuals that had their semi-annual certifications approved by the principal after the due date of the final reimbursement claim but before the submission of the final reimbursement. Additionally, nine individuals had their semi-annual certifications approved after the final reimbursement date of the Part A award and another 59 individuals from Part A did not have their semi-annual certifications approved at all. Head Start Cluster (ALN 93.600) The final reimbursement claim for the program was submitted to the Federal agency on November 22, 2024. Four of the 40 individuals sampled had their semi-annual certifications approved by the Head Start administrator after the submission date of the final reimbursement claims. Upon further review of the all the spring semi-annual certifications, there was an additional individual that had their semi-annual certifications approved by the principal after the due date of the final reimbursement claim and another four individuals that did not have their semi-annual certifications approved at all. The samples were not statistically valid. Corrective Action Plan The Office of Finance agrees that it is important that certifications be completed in a timely manner and award reimbursements are submitted within the deadlines. The Office of Finance and the District as a whole is working on improving its internal controls system wide. We are committed to developing sound processes and procedures that are in full compliance with federal and state regulations. An example of a process improvement is to send out reminders on a regular schedule to school leaders and central office employees for programmatic compliance. These activities will be completed in advance of due dates going forward to ensure timely submission of grant claim reimbursements. Annual training for school leaders and central office staff is also part of the process improvement plan underway.

Finding 2024-009 – Material Weakness – Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Condition The District supports time charged to federal awards via semi-annual certifications which are approved by the grant administrator or the building principal. Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants (ALN 84.367) The final reimbursement claim for the program was due to Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) on September 30, 2024; however, the final reimbursement claim was not submitted to DPI until January 9, 2025, due to an extension. Thirteen of the 40 individuals sampled did not have their semi-annual certifications approved timely and were approved after the due date of the final reimbursement claim, but before the date of the actual submission of the final reimbursement claim. COVID-19 – Education Stabilization Fund: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER II) (ALN 84.425D), American Rescue Plan – Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) (ALN 84.425U) and American Rescue Plan - Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief - Homelessness Children and Youth (84.425W) The final reimbursement claims for the ESSER II and the ARP ESSER programs were due to DPI on September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2024, respectively; however, the final reimbursement claims were not submitted to DPI until December 8, 2023, for ESSER II and December 6, 2024, for ARP ESSER. Five of the 40 individuals sampled had their semi-annual certifications not approved timely and were approved after the due date of the final reimbursement claims, but before the date of the actual submission of the final reimbursement claim. The samples were not statistically valid. Corrective Action Plan The Office of Finance agrees that it is important that certifications be completed in a timely manner and claims for cost reimbursement are submitted within the deadlines. The Office of Finance and the District as a whole is working on improving its internal controls system wide. While we recognize the importance of adhering to the due dates for final reimbursement claims, it is important to note that all expenditures claimed were reviewed for allowability through the required WISEgrants budget approval process prior to submission. Although five of the 40 sampled individuals had semi-annual certifications approved after the official claim due date, all certifications were completed prior to the actual submission of the final reimbursement claims to DPI. Therefore, no unapproved or uncertified personnel costs were included in the reimbursement requests, and internal controls were maintained to ensure that only allowable costs were submitted. We are committed to developing sound processes and procedures that are in full compliance with federal and state regulations. An example of a process improvement is to send out reminders on a regular schedule to school leaders and central office employees for programmatic compliance. These activities will be completed in advance of due dates going forward to ensure timely submission of grant claim reimbursements.

Corrective Action Plan (CAP) Institution: Westchester Community College New York Program Audited: Assistance Listing Number & Title: 84.063 – Federal Pell Grant Prepared for: Submission to Single Audit reporting package through the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) and Aid, Director, Financial Management Group – Federal Student Aid Date: August 27, 2025 1. Finding Reference • Audit Report Section: [Insert Finding Number/Reference] Finding 2024-001: Refunds of Title IV Funds Calculation and Disbursement Errors (Significant Deficiency - Special Tests and Provisions) • Description of Finding: Summarize the audit finding clearly as stated in the audit report. During the Fall 2023-2024 semester, 125 Pell Grant refund checks totaling $144,576 were issued incorrectly due to failures in the newly implemented student financial aid reporting system. • Errors Identified: 1. 10 checks totaling $11,087 were cashed, with only $1,233 returned to the college. The remaining $9,854 is considered questioned costs. 2. 51 checks totaling $56,263 were cashed, and accounts were later adjusted with student cooperation. 3. 64 checks totaling $77,226 were stopped before payment. 2. Root Cause Analysis • Cause of Noncompliance: Explain why the issue occurred (e.g., lack of internal controls, insufficient training, system error). System and operational failures due to inadequacy of the new student financial aid reporting system. • Contributing Factors: List any secondary factors (e.g., staff turnover, policy misinterpretation). 1. Data integrity issues – Automatic updates resulted in unauthorized entries and inaccurate data. 2. Communication failures – Early reports by staff of system errors were not addressed in a timely manner, resulting in delayed communication. 3. Disbursement errors – Scheduled disbursement dates canceled and rescheduled as a result of system’s inability to package students correctly. 4. SFP processing was inconsistent with US DOE COD system data. 5. Compliance date reporting errors due to SFP processing. 6. Training on the new SFP system was insufficiently provided by the vendor. In-person and self-paced training modules also not provided by the vendor. 7. SFP system contributed to incorrect financial aid packaging, requiring manual reprocessing 8. The SFP system was not aligned with unique community college scheduling features (e.g. parts of term such as winter session, 8-week semesters). 3. Corrective Action Plan Planned Corrective Measures: Detail the specific steps WCC management will take to correct the deficiency. To mitigate further damage, WCC reinstated the prior software system in April 2024, however, since the ISIRs were already determined, manual adjustments were made to students. This required additional corrective action steps: • Manual Data Corrections – Financial aid counselors manually reviewed data on approximately 6400 students and made corrections, student by student. • Reconciliation with G5 Data – Financial aid data had to be manually reconciled with G5, the federal payment system. • Compliance Adjustments – Transaction dates for compliance reporting were corrected. • Award Authorization – Student award amounts required manual verification, authorization, and approval. • Bursar’s Office Delays – Due to system errors, Bursar’s Office delayed processing refunds to prevent further financial discrepancies. • Parallel setup of on-prem financial aid system in March 2024 to prepare for the 2024-25 academic year. • Extraction of 2023-24 academic year financial aid data from SFP system and import into on-prem financial aid system. • Discontinue use of SFP on approximately 7/1/2025. • Responsible Party: Name/Title of the person(s) responsible for implementing corrective action. Garrett McAlister, Vice President of Information Technology; Dawn Gillins, Acting Vice President of Administrative Services/CFO; Dr. Erik Fortune, Assistant Vice President of Administration; Dr. Sandra Ramsey, Director of Enrollment Services; Nicola Howard-Brown, Acting Director of Financial Aid; Richard Cruz, Manager of Fiscal Operations; Garth Walcott, Program Administrator- Bursar Operations; Brian Murphy, former VP of Administrative Services/CFO; Dante Cantu, VP of Student Affairs; Anita Cook, former Director of Financial Aid. • Resources Required: Identify resources such as additional staff, training, IT system upgrades. Additional financial aid professional staff, IT/SFP system consultants. • Timeline: Expected completion date(s) for each corrective measure. Financial aid system remediation and awarding is complete. 2023-24 student financial aid data extraction/import for future reference in process. 4. Monitoring & Follow-Up • Ongoing Oversight - Describe how WCC will monitor to ensure corrective actions remain effective: WCC has a fully documented academic year financial aid project plan that is followed to ensure the timely implementation of tasks. • Internal Review Mechanisms: WCC will include periodic reviews aligned with standard DOE reporting timelines. Increase reconciliation frequency between G5 and COD. Increase periodic reviews, reports to leadership, and internal audit spot checks. 5. Evidence of Implementation • Documentation: List the types of evidence that will be maintained (e.g., revised policies, training logs, updated system reports). Project plan to revert back to previous system, training schedules, policy updates as they occur, and relevant updated system reports. • Retention: Confirm that documentation will be retained in accordance with federal regulations. WCC confirms that documentation will be retained in accordance with federal regulations. 6.

Proposed completion date: The Board will implement the above procedure immediately.
