MW 2025-001 SFA Cluster: R2T4 Corrective Action Plan Contact Person: Jeff Boyle, Director of Financial Corrective Action Plan: 1. Have at least two staff members enroll and complete the R2T4 training module conducted by NASFAA. Tonja Suttles and Melissa Satterwhite completed the course and passed the credential exam. Suzanne Bonner sat in on a few of the sessions. 2. Make changes to the R2T4 spreadsheet. a. Maintain a separate tab for each calculation group to make tracking and internal reviews easier. Process has been completed and started being used during the 2025 fall semester. b. Add additional columns to the spreadsheet that will provide the necessary data to perform the R2T4 calculation within Colleague and act as a check and balance as the calculation is being performed. There are several columns with calculated data or data coming from a source outside of Colleague. These data values can then be compared to the values Colleague calculates and the two should match. Columns have been added and began being used with the 2025 fall semester. 3. It will be established that one staff member will do the R2T4 calculation and a second staff member will do a spot check of a spot check to ensure the calculation was done properly using the correct data. The number of students checked will depend on the number of students within the calculation groups. The number of students in a group can range from 2 to several hundred. This process was put into practice starting with the 09/17/25 calculation group. Jeff Boyle, Director of Financial Aid, performed all the R2T4 calculations for the 2025 fall term and Tonja Suttles, Assistant Director of Financial Aid, performed 100% review of all the calculations. This will change once we are assured this process is working the way we expect it. 4. The external spreadsheets and charts used for the R2T4 calculation contain a tremendous amount of data elements and are created two years in advance of being used. A process will be established where various staff members within the office will review the data prior to our using it for the R2T4 calculation. This has been implemented as of the 2025 fall semester. All the 2025-2026 terms have been reviewed. A secondary review will be done on each term just prior to the data being used for that term’s R2T4 calculations. The data will be reviewed again at any point we determine the data may not be correct.

Audit Finding 2025-1: During the audit it was noted that certain general ledger accounts were not analyzed and reconciled on a timely basis. Management Response: The Center has continued to experience turnover in key accounting positions. New programs with new software updates have required additional staff training. The Medicaid Eligibility Renewal process by the State now has Renewals required every 12 months while prior to covid the Medicaid Program Renewals were required every 24 months. This has caused serious issues with the reconciliation process for Several of our Medicare, Medicaid, HCS and TXHMLV Accounts. We booked conservatively what we thought we could anticipate for Revenues assuming that we would begin receiving Reinstatement of Benefits at a somewhat regular Renewal Rate. We are allowed to back bill at least 90 days once approval is given. The Renewal Process is taking way longer than it used to, significantly complicating the reconciliation process, especially at year end with the need for separation of Revenue by Fiscal Years (matching process of Revenue with the same period Expenditures) Management will continue to train existing employees on significant accounting issues and IDD Management has recently begun using the Medicaid Lost Report to better anticipate lapses in upcoming Renewals of Consumers. We will also begin closing out our billings for the prior Fiscal Year earlier than we currently do. Any prior billings (Rebills) occurring after this established cutoff date (Medicare/Medicaid) will be reflected in the current year’s revenue and receivable balances. Name and Title of contact person responsible for corrective action: Dan Monson, CFO, 1504 S Texas Avenue. Bryan, TX 77802, 979-361-9802, Employer Identification Number: 74-1793265

FINDING 2024-001 – SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY- PROCUREMENT AND SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT- INTERNAL CONTROL OVER VERIFICATION AGAINST THE SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (“SAM”) Description of Finding: 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, (Uniform Guidance) requires compliance with provisions of procurement, suspension, and debarment. Non-federal entities are required to ensure that they do not award contracts or make subawards to any parties that are suspended or debarred from receiving federal funds. This verification may be accomplished by checking the System for Award Management (SAM). The Town implemented a policy to check that vendors are not suspended or debarred by checking the System for Award Management (SAM). However, the policy was implemented in January 2025, during the fiscal year under audit. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The Town agrees with the audit finding. Corrective Action: The Town established policies and procedures to ensure vendors are not suspended or debarred by checking the System for Award Management (SAM) and maintains documentation showing that verification. The new procedures begin during FY 2025 and will be in full effect for fiscal years 2026 and beyond. Name of Contact Person: Nyree Pieck, Interim Fiscal Officer (203) 263-2449. Projected Completion Date: Completed, January 2025.

Condition: The examination disclosed 11 out of 25 student status change files tested, in which NSLDS was not updated correctly. Eight of the eleven students’ Program Begin Date reported to NSLDS is the same date as the student's most recent effective status date, although the student has been enrolled in the program with the same CIP code with prior statuses such as Full time or Three-Quarter Time. The remaining three students were withdrawn students whose last day of attendance was not reported accurately. The auditor identified noncompliance and a significant deficiency in internal control over compliance related to the administration of Title IV federal financial aid. ________________________________________ Cause: After thorough review, it was discovered that programmatic data manipulation occurred as a result of attempts to circumvent or bypass National Student Clearinghouse enrollment system error messages, by the Information Technology department. This practice developed due to incomplete resolution of underlying system integration issues and insufficient supervisory review of the corrective steps being taken, in the past. Although no evidence of intentional misrepresentation was found, the manipulation of system data reduced the reliability of automated submissions from the Information Technology department. Furthermore, it was discovered that a Jenzabar system defect causing withdrawal dates to be incorrectly reported to the National Student Clearinghouse has occurred. Further review has discovered a default date was entered in the NSLDS system by National Student Clearinghouse, in place of the correct withdrawal date listed in the Jenzabar system. Corrective Action Plan: Action Step Responsible Persons Timeline for Completion Status/Follow-Up Identify and document all programmatic data manipulations performed to address error messages and assess impact on compliance reporting.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University review their awarding procedures and implement procedures to ensure the Stafford loans are awarded within the annual and aggregate limits. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: At the time the Subsidized Direct Loan was initially awarded, the student was classified as grade level one and was correctly awarded $3,500. Subsequently, the student’s grade level increased; however, the Direct Loan award was not adjusted accordingly. The Office of Financial Aid relies on email notifications to identify students with grade-level changes, and the notification for this student was inadvertently missed. In response to this error, the Office of Financial Aid implemented additional monitoring controls. A report was developed to identify all students with changes in grade level and is now generated and provided weekly by the Office of the Registrar to the Office of Financial Aid. A designated Financial Aid Advisor has been assigned responsibility for reviewing this report and adjusting Direct Loan awards as necessary to ensure accuracy. As an additional preventative measure, the Director of Financial Aid will verify student grade level and corresponding Direct Loan eligibility prior to disbursement. The Office of Financial Aid will also conduct periodic reviews to confirm that Direct Loan awards consistently and accurately align with students’ grade levels.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University implement a formal review process as it relates to withdrawn students to ensure R2T4 calculations are being performed accurately and timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The withdrawal dates applied in the Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculations were based on the dates students were administratively withdrawn by the Office of the Registrar. Upon identification of the audit finding, the Office of Financial Aid conducted a comprehensive review of the affected R2T4 calculations and made the necessary corrections. Any balances resulting from these errors were subsequently written off. Additionally, the Director of Financial Aid completed a full file review for the applicable award year to assess the accurate inclusion of scheduled break days. During this review, two additional students were identified whose R2T4 calculations did not include the appropriate number of break days. The calculations for these students were corrected, and the resulting balances were written off. No further errors were identified. As part of the corrective action, the Office of Financial Aid has hired an additional Financial Aid Advisor dedicated to the review and completion of R2T4 calculations. Furthermore, the Director of Financial Aid has implemented a secondary review process for all completed R2T4 calculations to ensure accuracy and compliance. The Office of Financial Aid has also reviewed the Financial Aid Handbook and applicable Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) related to R2T4 calculations to reinforce adherence to regulatory requirements.

Finding 2025-001: ECS provides out-of-school time programming to youth to improve life skills, increase academic engagement and prepare youth for higher education and employment. ECS is required to maintain and submit attendance records as part of this program. Attendance records were not maintained and submitted for one of the sites tested. During our testing of nine monthly attendance records, we noted attendance records for one selection could not be provided. The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. 2025-001 Recommendation: We recommend the Organization implement a process and related controls related to review, approval and submission of attendance records of at the site. Contracted slots utilized should be based on actual attendance and related documentation maintained by the Organization to support those amounts. Action Taken: Management agrees with the finding and has taken corrective action by adopting review, approval and submission processes to support contracted slots utilized. Moreover, the site in question was closed and the staff responsible were terminated. These actions and controls were completed and placed in service, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2025, but were not conducted for the entire year. Date of Completion: January 14, 2026
