In response, the district will develop and implement a formal internal procedure to ensure that all purchases funded by federal awards are both placed and received within the established period of performance. This procedure will include appropriate review, documentation, and oversight to maintain compliance with federal grant regulations. To further strengthen internal controls, the Nashua School District will implement a procedure limiting purchases to occur no later than 15 days prior to the grant’s end date. Additionally, all necessary services must be received and completed prior to the expiration of the grant period. Mario Andrade Krystal De Gray Superintendent Chief Operating Officer

L. No. 116-136, 134 Stat. 563 and Pub. L. No. 116-139, 134 Stat. 622 and 623) Condition: The District should only charge and be reimbursed by the grant for allowable expenditures based on the grant agreement. Correction Action Planned: We were using verbal guidance around meals, specifically page 84 of HHS Grants Policy Statement which states as follows under Consumer/ Provider Board Participation: “Allowable in accordance with applicable program regulations. When not specifically authorized by program regulations, only the following costs are allowable with OPDIV prior approval: The reasonable costs of necessary meals furnished by the recipient to consumer or provider participants during scheduled meetings if not reimbursed to participants as per diem or otherwise.” The conference in question was held outside some participants shift time so light refreshments were provided. However, in order to ensure compliance with the Notice of Award Terms and Conditions Grant Specific Term #5, the University Medical Center will not submit unallowable meal costs and provide refresher for existing grant Program Managers to ensure they understand the terms and conditions to avoid unallowable costs and discuss the terms and conditions with the HRSA Grants Management Specialist and Project Officer if questions arise. Contact Person (s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Aaron Davis, VP & Chief Experience Officer Anticipated Completion Date: The Corrective Action will be implemented by October 31, 2025 in response to the auditors’ recommendation.

Management acknowledges the oversight and agrees with the recommendation. At the time of the finding, the Credit Union had not established written policies and procedures specific to the administration of the CDFI ERP program, which was required under the grant agreement. However, this finding relates to the pre-merger entity’s administration of the CDFI ERP program. Since the merger, the current Credit Union is no longer a member of the CDFI Fund and therefore does not participate in federal programs subject to these requirements. Accordingly, the development of written policies and procedures related to federal grant administration is no longer applicable. To address the finding: • The issue has been documented as part of merger due diligence. • Management has confirmed that no further actions are required, as the current Credit Union does not administer CDFI or federal grant programs. CU1 will prepare adequate policies and procedures if it becomes applicable in the future.

Management acknowledges the error and agrees with the recommendation to strengthen documentation controls. While written approval was ultimately obtained from CDFI to cover the full $412,728 in expenditures, the Credit Union recognizes that contemporaneous documentation should have been maintained prior to incurring costs above the allowable limit. It should be noted that this expenditure and related documentation issue occurred prior to the recent merger. Following the merger, the current Credit Union is no longer a member of the CDFI Fund, and therefore the CDFI ERP reporting and expenditure requirements are no longer applicable. To address the finding, CU1 has: • Obtained written approval from CDFI to retroactively authorize the full expenditures incurred. • Documented the issue and corrective steps as part of merger due diligence. As CDFI Fund membership and related restrictions no longer apply post-merger, no further corrective actions are necessary.

Establish Written Indirect Cost Procedures – Develop and document procedures to ensure indirect costs are consistently calculated at the approved de minimis rate per the federal grant award on total direct costs during the performance period. 2. Implement Pre-Posting Review – Require a supervisory review of indirect cost calculations before charges are recorded to the general ledger and before grant reimbursements are submitted. We have implemented new procedures to ensure that indirect costs are included in each invoice for reimbursement. 3. Staff Training – Provide training for grants and finance staff on indirect cost requirements, the proper application of the de minimis rate, and reconciliation processes in accordance with 2 CFR 200.414(f). 4. Quarterly Reconciliations – Implement quarterly reconciliations of indirect costs applied to grants to confirm rates are applied correctly and consistently throughout the fiscal year. 5.

Corrective Action Plan Identifying Number: 2024-001 Finding: Expenditure was identified for one invoice with a 2023 service period that was improperly recorded, and reimbursed, as an expenditure in 2024, indicating improper expense recognition in accordance with US GAAP. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Agency concurs with the finding. To correct the cause and ensure compliance with 2 CFR 200.403(e), the following actions will be implemented: 1. Establish Written Cutoff Procedures – Formal written procedures will be developed for reviewing service dates and supporting documentation prior to posting expenditures in the general ledger. These procedures will specifically address Uniform Guidance period-of-performance requirements. 2. Implement Supervisory Review – All expenditures charged to federal awards will undergo supervisory review at period-end. The review will confirm that expenses are recorded in the proper performance period before submission for reimbursement.

Audit Finding Reference: 2024-001 Description of Finding: The audit revealed that grant expenditures were incurred outside the authorized performance period, resulting in non-compliance with grant regulations and potential cost disallowance. Planned Corrective Action • Conduct a comprehensive assessment of existing procedures to identify gaps that led to noncompliance with grant regulations. • Ensure timely submission of grant applications. • Implement enhanced oversight and monitoring processes for all grant-related expenditures to ensure alignment with policy 2 CFR 200.1. • Maintain detailed documentation of all award dates and expenditures to provide a clear compliance record. • Ensure all documentation is easily accessible and systematically organized for audit purposes. • Ensure pre-award costs are allowable only to the extent they would have been allowable if incurred after the effective date and only with written approval from the Federal awarding agency (as per 2 CFR 200.458). • Establish a process for obtaining and documenting written approval for pre-award costs. • Provide comprehensive training on compliance with Uniform Grant Guidance to all relevant staff. • Review and update policies and procedures related to grant expenditures regularly to ensure they are current and compliant with federal regulations. • Assign accountability for monitoring and reporting compliance to specific roles within the organization. The Business Manager, Elizabeth Bouchard, will be responsible for implementing this plan beginning with the Fiscal Year 2026 grant cycle. As of September 2025, non-compliance issues have been identified and addressed, documentation has been maintained to track award dates, and training has been provided to designated roles within the District. In addition, procedures to maintain detailed documentation of all award dates and expenditures to ensure a clear compliance record have been shared with all District Administrators utilizing grant funds.

Auditor’s Recommendation: “We recommend management ensure sufficient staffing and oversight to abide by internal processes and procedures which require prior approval of expenditures and reports prior to drawdown or submission.” Management response: The Family Place has reviewed its award compliance procedures and concurs with the ﬁnding. During the period, responsible departments—including the ﬁnance and accounting and human resources teams—experienced unexpected turnover, a signiﬁcant shortage of staffing, and a time reporting system conversion. As a result, certain compliance procedures were not performed consistently and timely, resulting in unintentional noncompliance with respect to allowable costs, cash management, and reporting controls.
