FINDING 2025-001 – Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Description of Finding: The State Funding Agency audited the Child Nutrition program and found that the school food authority (SFA) was charged an indirect cost rate less than provided for in the indirect cost rate agreement and there was no document explaining how the difference would be handled with the nonprofit school food service account. They also identified that food expenses were included in the direct cost base. Food is considered a distorted fund and is not to be included in the direct cost base. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The Agency agrees with this finding during the Audit period and has made the necessary corrections. Corrective Action: The Organization has implemented procedures outlining how discrepancies will be managed. These procedures will be shared with relevant personnel, and training sessions will be conducted to ensure full compliance. Additionally, we have recalculated the indirect costs for FY2025, excluding the food expenses from the direct cost base. This recalculated amount was reflected in the revised financial reporting. Name of Contact Person: Richard Carmelich, Chief Operations Officer Projected Completion Date: June 30, 2025 QUESTIONED COSTS 1. There was $41,868 in questioned costs as a result of the 2025-001 audit finding. The Organization agreed that the cost was unallowable and revised the financial reporting to the satisfaction of the auditing State agency.

RMI will address the identified finding by implementing updated procedures and policies. Under RMI’s revised signature authority policy and legal cover sheet procedures, any independent contractor agreement or contract services agreement must include a ten-digit ComplyAdvantage reference number on the legal cover sheet before the draft agreement can be fully executed. The ComplyAdvantage reference number will be provided by the Procurement Team if the contractor passes the ComplyAdvantage suspension and debarment screening with no issues or concerns. If the contractor does not pass the ComplyAdvantage screening, no reference number will be provided by the Procurement Team on the legal cover sheet, and the request will be rejected by the Legal Team. If a request is rejected, the contracting process is terminated, as RMI’s updated procedures prohibits execution of agreements without a ComplyAdvantage reference number. To initiate the ComplyAdvantage screening process, the RMI program team contact (i.e. a program operations lead/manager, project manager, etc.) must submit a request to the Procurement Team, who will then conduct the ComplyAdvantage screening of the contractor prior to contract execution. The ComplyAdvantage screening is a documented step in RMI’s procurement process checklist. ComplyAdvantage is a leading database for watchlists, anti-money laundering (AML), countering the financing of terrorism (CFT), sanctions, and other risk indicators. ComplyAdvantage screening meets the requirements of 2 CFR 180 and includes verification against the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) for suspension and debarment.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the College re-evaluate its procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes to NSLDS to put a process in place to ensure the student status changes are being reported timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Early in the 2024-25 fiscal year, the College learned that this finding related to manually reported graduates and withdrawn students. Graduates reported during the automated file submittal process were reported as graduating at end of term, while graduates reported manually were reported as graduating on the College’s actual commencement date (one day different than end of term). The Registrar is now consistent in reporting graduation dates using the end of term for all graduating students. As for the reporting of withdrawals, the Registrar now manually updates the enrollment status and effective dates in NSLDS to ensure accurate and timely reporting. The findings in this audit period occurred prior to the above changes being implemented. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Austin Nyhof, Registrar Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2026
