Finding No. 2025-001: Reporting AL No.: 11.029 Program Title: Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program Grant Award Number: NT23TBC0290054 Condition The performance reporting for the period ended March 31, 2025 noted that the total funds expended reported did not agree with the federal expenditure reported on SF-425, resulting in a variance of $48,872. While we submitted a MEMO (via eRA & Suralink) along with our SF-425 reporting, this variance was reflective of cash on hand encumbered for invoices that were still in the processing stage. Meaning there were discrepancies of cash on hand versus actual expenditures. Corrective Action Plan The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (“DHHL”) will review both the SF-425 and Performance report and make the appropriate changes to the expenditures and cash on hand to ensure both reports align. Moving forward, DHHL will implement mandatory compliance reviews before report submission. Person Responsible Jaren Tengan, Broadband Coordinator And/or Aislen Bacalso, Broadband Coordination Assistant Anticipated Date of Completion The updated work process will be implemented in April 2026.

Federal program title: Community Development Block Grant – ALN 14.228 Condition: The County has procedures in place used for monitoring loan compliance. This involves sending an email to each HOME beneﬁciary asking for documents proving they are still a resident (utility bills, insurance documents, etc.) and mailing a physical Certiﬁcate of Occupancy for the resident to sign. However, there were two residents which have failed to return any of these documents or a response as of February 27, 2026 The initial inquiry occurred on January 29, 2025 and January 28, 2025 for both residents. Due to an empty employment position at the time of monitoring, the County has failed to perform a physical inspection despite being a procedure in the case of a non-response scenario with a resident. Recommendation: CLA recommends the County hires the staff necessary to ensure that all monitoring procedures are performed. Explanation of disagreement with audit ﬁnding: There is no disagreement with the audit ﬁnding. Action planned in response to ﬁnding: The letters mailed to loan recipients indicates that the County may do a physical inspection, and while hiring an employee to work the administration/monitoring of the CDBG loan portfolio would be ideal, there are not sufficient county funds to do so. County Administration, who is currently responsible for monitoring previous CDBG loans, will send follow-up letters to any individual who does not submit the required documents by the deadline and then work with the State to determine further allowable actions.

Finding 2025-003 Cash Management – Timeliness of Subrecipient Payments Plan: UIC - The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) reviewed existing systems, reporting and procedures available to enhance invoice monitoring capabilities. UIC will develop a subaward invoice routing system to centralize and track the subrecipient’s invoice from submission through approvals and timely payment. UIUC – Sponsored Programs Administration is implementing an automated subaward invoicing solution to improve processing efficiency and enhance transparency. By the end of February 2026, all subaward invoices will be routed through the SPA Subaward Tracker, a new online workflow system that enables multiple users to submit, review, and approve invoices at any time. This platform streamlines routing,provides real-time visibility into invoice status, and reduces manual processing bottlenecks. These improvements are designed to support timely review and payment of subaward invoices and to help ensure compliance with the 30-day federal payment requirement.

Finding number: 2025-001 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Education Programs: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing #: 84.063 and 84.268 Award year: 2025 Corrective Action Plan The College will ensure sufficient processing time for the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to report graduates to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within the required federal reporting timeframe. During Fall 2024, the College was required to submit a second graduate file. By the time this file was processed by NSC and transmitted to NSLDS, it exceeded the 45-day reporting deadline. To prevent recurrence, the College will implement earlier internal processing deadlines and enhanced monitoring of graduate file submissions. In addition, the College will promptly review and correct any graduate records rejected by NSC and ensure that all statuses are accurately updated in the NSC system prior to transmission to NSLDS. For withdrawal reporting, the College applies the following standards: • If a student withdraws from the College after completing all courses in the final sub-term of a semester, the effective date reported is the semester end date. • If a student withdraws from the College and withdraws from all courses during the final sub-term, the effective date reported is the official date the student submits withdrawal from both the College and the courses. Conferral dates are established by the College and may differ from the semester end date. The College maintains three conferral dates annually: Spring, Summer, and Fall. Enrollment reporting for graduates will reflect the official conferral date as determined by the institution.

Planned Corrective Action: Due to a transition between Finance Directors, there was an administrative oversight that resulted in the reserve funds not being fully consolidated into the designated reserve account by June 30, 2025. Additionally, the USDA Annual Borrower Certification process was completed later than usual (in July rather than by the end of May), delaying identification of the discrepancy. The Organization identified the discrepancy during the USDA Annual Borrower Certification process and completed the required transfer to fully fund the designated reserve account on July 17, 2025 prior to submission of the certification. The Organization has implemented and will maintain the following corrective actions: • Establishment of a dual review and approval process for reserve balances at fiscal year-end to ensure accuracy and compliance. • Formal assignment of reserve compliance responsibilities to designated finance personnel to ensure accountability. • Implementation of a process to monitor reserve balances monthly, with reconciliation to USDA requirements. • Submission of a request to USDA to ensure that Annual Borrower Certification notifications are sent to both the Executive Director and Finance Director to enhance oversight and accountability. Responsible Official: Patricia Calloway, Executive Director Planned Completion Date: Implemented as of July 17, 2025, with ongoing monitoring and control procedures in place for all future reporting periods. Status: The required reserve balance was fully funded in the designated account as of July 17, 2025 prior to submission of the USDA Borrower Certification.
