As required by the OMB Uniform Guidance, we have provided our response and corrective action plan addressing the finding in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for the year ended December 31, 2024. Finding 2024-001 – Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and noncompliance over submission of required reports: The Hospital Regulatory Agreement requires the following to be filed with HUD and Lender: (i) Annual audited financial statements from a certified public accountant or other person acceptable to HUD in accordance with program obligations. (ii) Board-certified annual financial statements within 120 days following the close of the borrower’s fiscal year if the annual audited financial statements have not yet been provided to HUD and Lender, or anytime at HUD’s and Lender’s request. (iii) Monthly unaudited financial statements 40 days following the end of the month, in accordance with program obligations, until final endorsement has occurred, or at HUD’s request. (iv) Quarterly unaudited financial statements and utilization statistics within 40 days following the end of each quarter of the borrower’s fiscal year, in accordance with program obligations. Although board approval was received prior to the due date, the annual board-certified financial statements were submitted five days (three business days) after the deadline required by the Hospital Regulatory Agreement. Management did not have effective internal controls in place to ensure the report was submitted in accordance with the Hospital Regulatory Agreement. Corrective Action Planned: Although the circumstances were unique due to implementation of a new electronic health record system, additional personnel will be involved to ensure redundancy, completion, and compliance with the annual reporting requirement. Anticipated Completion Date: 5/30/2025 Responsible Party for Corrective Action: Vince Wong, Senior Director of Finance

2024-002 Special Tests (Enrollment Reporting) Student Financial Assistance Cluster: U.S. Department of Education Federal Direct Student Loans (ALN 84.268) Federal Grant Numbers and Years: P268K240460 (9/1/2023-8/31/2024) Finding Type: Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance Responsible personnel: Christopher Nieves, Registrar, ctn2114@tc.columbia.edu, 212 678-4056 Corrective Action Plan: The College identified that the periodic degree record submission process to the Clearinghouse was not fully and accurately updating a student’s status at NSLDS from the prior status to Graduated. These students were not included on the Clearinghouse standard error resolution reports for review and timely correction by the College and therefore, the student status change(s) will also reflect a late certification. The Office of the Registrar consulted with the Clearinghouse which identified a universal limitation with the DegreeVerify service. Despite the College’s accurate and timely submission of degree conferral data, the process did not apply a Graduated enrollment status for students awarded multiple and similar level degrees and/or for students who have multiple enrollment records for more than one academic program. To address this issue, and with the Clearinghouse’s guidance, a manual correction process for the student population was implemented and is available through a separate section on their dashboard. Designated staff in the Registrar’s Office initiated enrollment history corrections through this process. As DegreeVerify reporting is conducted on a monthly basis by the College, manual corrections will also be processed monthly aligning with the submission schedule. Any necessary corrections will be completed directly following the Clearinghouse’s confirmation that the latest report has posted to the dashboard. This will ensure that all graduation statuses will be accurately and timely reflected and consistent across the College’s records and Campus and Program-Level records in NSLDS going forward. Additionally, while graduated status was not timely applied for these students, withdrawal status records were reported and available within the allowable grace period resulting in proper timing for entering federal loan repayment status.

2024-001 Reporting (Financial) Student Financial Assistance Cluster: U.S. Department of Education Federal Direct Student Loans (ALN 84.268) Federal Grant Numbers and Years: P268K240460, (9/1/2023-8/31/2024) Finding Type: Material Weakness and Noncompliance Responsible personnel: Alyssa Timko, Director of Financial Aid, act2156@tc.columbia.edu, 212 678-3654 Corrective Action Plan: In September 2023, the College identified a technical issue with the manual reporting process for student loan disbursements to COD and determined the existing solution was only partially functioning at that time. While some loan activity was timely and properly reported to COD, other student disbursement transactions were stalled and reported after the 15-calendar day requirement. At that time, the College’s ERP, Banner, job submission process for disbursement reporting to COD was manually initiated by the Office of Financial Aid. The resulting reports were then uploaded through the DOE’s EDconnect, a Windows based software application, using WinSCP file transfer (the same process was used for return files from COD). After an evaluation, it was determined that a new solution and process was required to ensure proper, complete and timely reporting under the regulations. The reporting process was redesigned in October 2023 as part of a plan to automate loan origination and now functions through Automic, a workload automation software. Instead of manually generated files and upload / receipt through EDconnect, student loan disbursement records are now automated to/from COD using TDClient, which is a command software for sending and receiving student aid related information through the DOE’s Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG). The new process regularly transfers loan disbursement data to COD. However, the College also determined that a prescheduled pause in the Automic loan origination process at the end of the fiscal year 2024 academic year (in August 2024), which was established in accordance with the regulations, also inadvertently paused loan disbursement reporting and resulted in late submissions. The Office of Financial Aid has also remedied this issue by adding non-standard reporting days to the standard calendar. Along with more frequent and recurring reconciliations of Banner to COD loan disbursement data and ensuring the continuation of disbursement reporting after loan originations are paused at the end the academic year, the College does not anticipate any further late reporting matters and expects all future disbursement data to be reported within 15 calendar days.

2024-001:Suspension and Debarment Finding Type: Material Weakness in Internal Controls over Compliance and Compliance Federal Program Title and AL Number: The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) Commodity Credit Corporation Eligible Recipient Funds (10.187) Criteria: Per Title 2 CFR § 180.300, non-federal entities that enter into a covered transaction with an entity at a lower tier are required to verify that the entity is not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. Covered transactions include all non-procurement transactions entered into by a pass-through entity (i.e., subawards to subrecipients), irrespective of award amount. Condition and context: As part of our suspension and debarment testing, and in order to determine compliance with the requirements, we verified that the debarment verification check for subrecipient agencies were performed prior to entering into agreements with these agencies. For 24 out of 25 non-statistical samples, the verification check was performed subsequent to when the Food Bank entered into the contract with the agency. None of the agencies selected were suspended or debarred. Cause: The Food Bank did not have controls in place to ensure the debarment verifications were performed when entering into agreements with agencies. Effect: The Food Bank was not able to demonstrate compliance with 2 CFR § 180.300. Questioned Costs: None. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend that the Food Bank implement controls to ensure verification checks are performed prior to entering into agreements with agencies.   Management Response and Planned Corrective Action: The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is a non-federal entity that enters into transactions with its Agency Partners covered under Title 2 CFR § 180.300. This section requires us to verify that our Agency Partners are not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in transactions covered by this section. We will modify the Eligible Recipient Agency (ERA) Agreement with Sub-Distributing Agency (SDA) USDA TEFAP Agency Agreement template that the Food Bank utilizes for onboarding all new Agency Partners to include language requiring the Agency Partner to self-certify that they are neither suspended, nor debarred, nor otherwise excluded from participating in Federal Programs covered under Title 2 CFR § 180.300. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, the Agency Relations Department will perform the federal suspension and debarment check on all of the Agency Partners. If any Agency Partner is on the federal suspension and debarment list, the Agency Partner will be suspended by the Food Bank immediately. The Director of Compliance and Administration will oversee the modification of the Memorandum of the TEFAP Agency Agreement. We will complete these corrective actions on or before June 15, 2025.

We disagree with the stated cause of this finding. Based on our records, our audit was scheduled promptly upon the completion of the FYE23 audit in August 2024 and was scheduled according to the availability of the auditors. At that time, it was known by the auditors that FYE24 would be a single audit, subject to this deadline. No communication was made to management that by continuing with the engagement as scheduled, it would result in a finding. Management continually monitors deadlines to ensure compliance with regulators and funders and makes every effort possible to stay compliant or communicate accordingly if delays are anticipated. Further, the deadline to upload the initially requested materials was March 24, 2025 and all items were provided by that date. As far as management is aware, there was no delay in the timing of the audit or its completion. Melynn Schuyler, Executive Director

Audit period: The findings from the June 30, 2024 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Finding 2024-001 – COVID 19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund - AL No. 21.027 U.S. Department of Treasury Other Matters Related to Internal Control over Compliance of the Major Program Criteria: Non‐federal entities other than states, including those operating federal programs as subrecipients of states, must follow the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. They must use their own documented procurement procedures, which reflect applicable state and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable federal statutes and the procurement requirements identified in 2 CFR Part 200. Condition and Context: During our testing as it related to compliance with procurement we noted that an expense for engineering services for the Waste Water Treatment Assessment services charged to the major program would have required a formal bidding process as the project exceeded the simplified acquisition threshold. The Town had selected the engineering company for “On Call” engineering services as it related to the DPW through a request for qualifications process. The contract does include as part of the services to be provided Waste Water Treatment Assessment services. However, the contract is not specific to federally funded projects. The Town of Medfield had submitted the request for qualifications documentation as well as the executed contracted for “On Call” services to both the Town’s consulting service and the pass through entity for approval of the Waste Water Treatment Assessment. The pass through entity and the pass through entities Auditors did not have any concerns with the request for qualifications as it relates to the Waste Water Treatment Assessment project. Questioned Costs: $40,500 Cause: Based on the judgement of the pass through entity (Norfolk County) and their auditors, the Town was approved to procure engineering services for the Waste Water Treatment Assessment as part of a larger “On Call” services contract. The Town did select the contractor through a competitive request for qualifications process, but did not initiate a separate procurement for the sub-project. Effect or Potential Effect: There is risk that amounts charged to the federal awards major program may not be in accordance with procurement, suspension, and debarment principles. Identification as a Repeat Finding: N/A Recommendation: Going forward, the Town of Medfield should consider a separate bidding process for expenses related to federal grant funds. Responsible for Corrective Plan: Contact Person: Kristine Trierweiler, Town Administrator Estimated Completion Date: April 30th, 2025 Action Taken: On an ongoing basis, the Town will initiate separate procurements for projects covered under federal grants.
