Community Services Block Grant (CSBG)-Federal Assistance Listing Number 93.569 - Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Finding 2021-004 Noncompliance with Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Finding 2021-005 Noncompliance with Eligibility Recommendation: We recommend the Organization strengthen its compliance-related internal controls by: • Requiring standardized documentation to support compliance with each requirement. • Implementing periodic reviews of documentation completeness before charging costs to federal awards. • Providing training to staff responsible for grant management on compliance and record retention requirements. • Retain all documentation related to federal awards in a central location. 35 • Reinforcing the approval process by documenting and communicating approval requirements to all staff involved in initiating and processing transactions, providing mandatory training to employees on expense authorization policies, and establishing monitoring procedures to ensure approvals are consistently documented before transactions are processed. Management agrees with the finding and the recommendation. During the audit period in the following years until present, STOP’s clear policy and practice was to only provide service to individuals and families whose annual income does not exceed the established threshold on the federal poverty guidelines as published annually. While documentation was deficient to demonstrate eligibility for a small number of the total files sampled, the missing documentation is not an indicator that ineligible applicants received services. To address the root causes, the following actions have been implemented: The Organization has implemented Bill.com Accounts Payable workflow and document retention platform. Wipfli, LLP was engaged for accounting services in August of 2023 and subsequently, implemented Bill.com to facilitate accounts payable approval processes and document retention. The software has established hierarchies built within the system to ensure all invoices are properly reviewed and approved prior to processing. All staff included in the approval process were trained to utilize the system for processing. Wipfli staff is engaged for the accounts payable processing activities in the system. All STOP staff have or will participate in annual in-service training and will be provided updated eligibility criteria annually. This ensures that all staff have proper information and adheres to the federally published poverty guidelines and that agency practices of only providing services to individuals who meet the established criteria are provided services. Additionally, all files will include an eligibility checklist outlining all documents needed to support eligibility and will also include a compliance reviewer signature. This should ensure that all files are complete and have necessary documentation to support eligibility. Completion Date: December 2025

Finding Number 2021-004: – Employee Time Not Tracked by Program (Allowable Costs/Cost Principles), July 1, 2020 through June 30,2021. Statement of Condition: PCOA did not track actual employee time by program PCOA personnel responsible for enacting corrective action plan: Jay Huffstutler, Finance Director, jhuffstutler@pcoa.org The corrective action plan: PCOA recognizes the importance of accurately tracking employee time by program to ensure compliance with federal cost principles. In FY2025, PCOA has implemented a new process within the payroll system to directly capture time spent on each program rather than relying on allocation methodologies.Process: Each employee is now required to log in and out of the payroll system by program throughout the workday. Program managers assign employees to the specific programs they are authorized to charge time to. These program codes are built into the payroll system for selection during time entry. Employees record their hours by selecting the appropriate program each time they begin or complete work on that program. This ensures that the payroll system reflects actual hours worked on each program on a daily basis. Program managers review timesheets monthly to confirm that time recorded aligns with program assignments and activities. Finance staff reconcile program time entries against payroll records to ensure accurate posting to the general ledger and federal grant reporting. Commitment: This new process establishes a consistent, auditable method of tracking employee time by program. PCOA is committed to ongoing monitoring of the system and regular reviews to ensure accuracy, compliance with Uniform Guidance, and proper documentation for audit purposes. Completion Date: August 18, 2025

Housing Choice Voucher Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 14.871 Recommendation: We recommend the Authority review its internal controls over allowable costs to ensure all documentation is maintained at the time expenses are paid. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Authority is prioritizing completion of outstanding audits to ensure records can be located promptly when requested. All invoices will continue to require proper approval signatures prior to payment, and payment authorization will serve as an additional layer of verification to confirm compliance with internal control procedures. This instance involved only one of forty (40) accounts payable items that was not available in the document imaging system at the time of review so it needed to be recreated by printing off the invoice and it was paid online. The payment would have had to be pre-approved by CFO prior to payment. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Shannon Sterling, CFO Planned completion date for corrective action plan: 12/1/25

Condition - Expenditures reported to HRSA were not in accordance with Pub. L. No. 116-136, 134 Stat. 563 Plan of Corrective Action Much research was performed by the Authority's leadership to identify guidance from HRSA including reviewing FAQs, Fact Sheets, consulting attorneys, auditors, consultants and other parties. The complexity of the reporting requirements, including changing FAQ's and our inability to gain a definite approval of the use of our funds, resulted in the Authority filing the its submission based on the best available information at the time. The Authority's position is that the Provider Relief Funds were appropriately expensed using additional expenses and lost revenues not initially submitted to the portal. The Authority will continue to monitor the guidance for use of funds provided by HRSA and will strive to appropriately utilize all funds in the future. The Authority will review the most recently distributed Provider Relief Fund FAQ's which provide details on requirements related to the program Contact person: Chris Martin, CEO cmartin@ccghospital.com (580)927-2327 Expected implementation:2024 - 2025

In a previous period and by previous auditors, PAX was told that because we were using a percentage of effort calculation in budgeting that time sheets were no longer needed for this purpose. At that time, we abandoned the time sheet process (which was arduous). Based upon current auditor’s advice, PAX will, going forward, establish an effort verification reporting system. This system will accurately capture the effort spent by each employee on specific grants, ensuring proper allocation of wages and salaries to the respective federal awards.
