Views of Responsible Official: Management notes that the Federal Payment Management System (PMS) automatically tracks when different users enter information such as submitting and certifying/approving draw-down amounts. During the time of the grant there were periods when only one staff member had access to PMS due to technical issues and delays in adding new users. To ensure there is back-up documentation of the approval workflow, we will institute a form to capture the individual signatures of the preparer and submitter of each draw down as additional evidence of multiple people connected to the process.

Finding #2025-002: #84.184X – Wisconsin Well Be’s School-Based Mental Health Consortium Federal Grantor Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Cash Management Condition: During our audit procedures, it was determined that there was miscommunication between the grant manager and the business manager. Therefore, an additional claim was made which resulted in the District receiving federal funds in excess of immediate needs. Effect: The District received federal funds in excess of immediate needs and before disbursement for allowable program costs. Cause: The District’s internal controls failed to identify a duplicate claim submitted for federal funds. Criteria: It is necessary under U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly called "Uniform Guidance") and under most federal grant agreements that the recipient must implement financial management system that provide proper fund control, which ensures funds used in a timely fashion. Recommendation: We recommend that the District implement a pre-submission check to verify that invoices have not been previously claimed. Response: The funds were fully used up in the following fiscal year as expenditures were incurred. The grant funding has been cut as of December 31, 2025. This finding has been resolved.

Finding #2025-001: #84.184X – Wisconsin Well Be’s School-Based Mental Health Consortium Federal Grantor Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Subrecipient Monitoring Condition: During our audit procedures, it was determined that the District did not review supporting documentation such as invoices or pay records from subrecipient schools claiming funds. Although there is a Google shared document that summarizes expenditures claimed, subrecipient schools did not submit invoices to the grant manager for review and approval. Additionally, there was no formal written agreement between the District and the subrecipient to document the terms and conditions of the subrecipient awards. Effect: The District’s system of monitoring is not sufficient, formal, or uniform which could result in unallowable expenditures and misunderstandings between the District and the subrecipients. Cause: The District does not have adequate review and approval processes and formal written agreements for the subrecipients. Criteria: It is necessary under U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly called "Uniform Guidance") and under most federal grant agreements that any federal funds passed through to a subrecipient be appropriately monitored and that the subrecipient is properly informed of the grant requirements. Recommendation: We recommend that the District review invoices from the subrecipient schools and have written agreements signed by all parties that fully explain the federal grant requirements and include other appropriate language to protect the District and to further document the District’s compliance regarding subrecipient monitoring. Response: The grant funding has been cut as of December 31, 2025. The District did not implement the recommended procedures above as there are currently no other subrecipient relationships.

Department staff has reviewed the Legislative Audit Bureau’s (LAB) interim audit memo for Finding 2025-306: Children’s Health Insurance Program – Reconciliation of Vaccine Purchases. This is the department’s Corrective Action Plan.  Recommendation (2025-306): Children’s Health Insurance Program – Reconciliation of Vaccine Purchases We recommend the Wisconsin Department of Health Services comply with federal regulations and ensure it performs annual reconciliations to calculate any differences between the estimated cost and the actual cost of vaccines for SCHIP participants and then adjusts the estimate for vaccine purchases funded from the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Wisconsin Department of Health Services Planned Corrective Action: The Division of Enterprise Services and the Division of Public Health worked together to complete the reconciliation and adjust the estimate for FFY 2026. However, this work was done after the end of the audit period. This work effectively returned the $2.6 million in unallowable costs included in the memo to the federal government. The divisions will continue to work together to perform an annual reconciliation and adjust the estimate going forward.

The South Carolina Office of the Adjutant General respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025, on behalf of the State of South Carolina. The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Findings — FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT U.S. Department of Defense National Guard Military Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Projects – Assistance Listing No. 12.401 Disposition of Audit Finding: The Office of the Adjutant General non-concurs with the audit finding. 1. The cited Regulation (National Guard Regulation 5-1) was changed from a Regulation to a policy guideline in 2020 by the National Guard Bureau (NGB) Grants and Cooperative Agreements Policy Letter (GCAPL) #20-02 dated 04 February 2020. 2. There is not a risk for interest liability to the State. The basis and thresholds for determining if a program is subject to interest payments is defined in Federal Code 31 CFR Part 205 and Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) 4A-2000, “Overall Disbursing Rules for All Federal Agencies.” In addition, the Cash Management Improvement Act Agreement (CIMA) between The State of South Carolina and The Secretary of the Treasury, United States Department of the Treasury, dated 6/30/2025, does not list the Agency’s Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 12.401 as one of the State’s programs that meets or exceeds the State’s threshold for major Federal assistance programs. 3. The Cash Management testing used a one-to-one analysis based on monthly cash advance requests and monthly expenditures during the same time period. However, the testing, based on NGB Policy 5-1, should be from the date of receipt to the date of disbursement. 4. Lastly, the State of South Carolina’s Department of Administration does not allow submissions for Capital Projects (projects over $250,000) without the funding in possession of the requesting Agency. In addition, neither the Legislative Joint Bond Review Committee (JBRC) nor the State Fiscal Accountability Authority (SFAA) will approve a Capital Project without the Agency having the required funds on-hand. The average Readiness Center Revitalization (Capital Project) can take 2-3 years to complete, and the total funds have to be on-hand to receive approval for the start of the projects. This requires Cooperative Agreement 1001 to advance funding for projects months ahead of the execution of any Purchase Orders. Corrective Action: The Agency will continue to strive to minimize the time elapsed between transfer of funds from the United States Treasury and their disbursement by the State in accordance with the annual Request for Advance Payment Method Authorization signed between the State/Agency and the United States Property and Fiscal Officer (USPFO).

The South Carolina Office of the Adjutant General respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025, on behalf of the State of South Carolina. The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Findings — FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT United States Department of Homeland Security 2025-003 Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) - Assistance Listing No. 97.036 Disposition of Audit Finding: The South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD) of the Office of the Adjutant General concurs with the audit finding. Corrective Action: The Agency will refine its Public Assistance (PA) Reimbursement Review SOP and related Recovery Grants and Finance staff training to specify a requirement to validate that for projects under PA grants declared in 2018 and before, Direct Administrative Costs (DAC) were expended before the end of the project period of performance. In addition, the Recipient has submitted a time extension for the project period of performance but does not yet have approval from FEMA. Notes: • DAC was an eligible category of costs in PA projects under disaster grants through 2017 and optional for those declared August 1, 2017, through October 04, 2018 (opt-in). • Federal PA policy shifted to a management costs approach for projects under incidents declared on or after October 05, 2018. See attached FEMA Recovery Policy FP 104-11-2. Management costs are eligible for reimbursement up to 180 days after the subrecipient completes its last non-management cost project (p. 5). • Guidance regarding Direct Administrative Costs (see FEMA table attached) indicates that project closeout activities are eligible direct costs,which may have led to the Recipient considering DAC during the closeout period as eligible even when the project period of performance had ended. • The Federal Agency involved, FEMA, closed the project without noting an issue with reimbursement of these expenditures. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026 2 Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: • Emily Bentley, SCEMD Chief of Mitigation and Recovery, at (803) 737-8774 • Antonio Johnson, SCEMD Grants and Finance Manager, at (803) 737-8606

Significant Deficiencies 2024-001. Allowable Costs/Cost Principles United States Department of Education, Passed Through New York State, Department of Education: Special Education Cluster Special Education Grants to States: IDEA Part B ALN: 84.027 Special Education Preschool Grants: IDEA Preschool ALN: 84.173 Condition: Subpart E, 2 CFR §200.430 of the Uniform Guidance requires that charges to “Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed.” The documentation should support the distribution of the employee’s compensation among specific activities if the employee works on more than one federal award, or a federal award and non-federal award. The preparation of personnel activity reports (PAR) or periodic certifications or the equivalent is the most effective way to comply with this requirement. During the current year, the District did not prepare this documentation, and, therefore, did not comply with Subpart E, 2 CFR §200.430. Current Status: The District has not implemented revised procedures to document after-the-fact personnel activity records for salaries and wages charged to federal awards, as required by 2 C.F.R. § 200.430. Planned Corrective Action: The District will adopt procedures that ensure that time performed will be used to support costs charged to the federal award, and comply with Subpart E, 2 CFR §200.430. Responsible Contact Person: Michael I. DeVito, Esq., Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations. Long Beach City School District 235 Lido Boulevard Lido Beach, New York 11561 mdevito@lbeach.org 516-897-2090 Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026.
