Date: March 27, 2025 Cognizant or Oversight Agency: U.S. Department of the Treasury Public Counsel respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended August 31, 2024. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Armanino, LLP 11766 Wilshire Blvd. 9th Floor Los Angeles, CA 90025 Audit period: August 31, 2024 The finding from the August 31, 2024 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS-FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2024-001 The Uniform Guidance Cost principles require consistency in treatment of costs and, specifically, that compensation costs be consistent. In addition, the Uniform Guidance requires that there be a system of internal control which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable and properly allocated and conform to the established accounting policies and practices of the Organization. Recommendation: The process implemented by management during the year appears to have addressed the ongoing variances satisfactorily, and management should continue with its new process. Action Taken: We agree with the auditors' recommendations, and we have already taken the following actions during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024: We have updated the payroll allocation methodology to ensure that we are making allocations for employees on a fully pro rata basis and that there is a validation process to ensure that 100% of an employee’s time is appropriately allocated across Federal and non-Federal funding sources. The supporting documentation is saved in our shared network folders and attached to the journal entries within our financial system. For any future process or system changes, we will ensure that we have thoroughly assessed the impact of any change before we implement it and vet it in through our internal grant compliance team. We have already made changes to involve our Legal Data Manager to implement a reporting process to ensure that we have complete timeslips that reflect both employee and supervisor approvals for every pay period. We will maintain this approach in Legal Server, the Organization's case management and timekeeping system, and will attach these timeslips as support for each of our allocation entries. We will continue to assess our procedures and internal controls relevant to our Federal funding to ensure compliance with the requirements of Uniform Guidance. We will do a thorough review of our internal control system and update it as necessary to align with best practices as recipients of Federal funding. The Finance team will continue to actively seek training related to Uniform Guidance updates and other Federal rules and requirements. We will share and discuss this information across departments to maintain organization-wide compliance. Name of responsible person: Steven Godoy VP, Finance & CFO Anticipated completion date: August 31, 2025 If the U.S. Department of Treasury has questions regarding this plan, please call Steven Godoy, VP, Chief Financial Officer at (213) 393-1055.

Management attempted to contract with multiple accounting consultants for creating the SEFA but they were already at full capacity and were not available to assist with the creation of the report. When the relevant contract or grant award did not include the necessary information, SCEC management and program staff reached out to our contracting agencies to confirm whether federal funds were part of each award and to find out CFDA numbers and other contract information necessary to complete the form. Nevertheless, there were several errors that in the SEFA submitted to our auditors for review. For the two IRP and RMAP lending programs, the prior year balances were carried over into the FY 24 SEFA through a clerical error. The errors in item 11.037 and 11.419 are related to information we received from the contracting agency. In particular, 11.037 was listed under US Economic Development Administration according to the contracting agency and we were given the description of Economic Adjustment Assistance. The description for 11.419 was given to SCEC by the contracting agency as CDS – Congressionally Directed Spending. Finally, we provided two CFDA’s for the STEM Education award with the submission of the SEFA as we were waiting for confirmation from Program Managers about the correct CDFA numbers. The auditors were informed that we were waiting for these numbers when the SEFA was submitted. In FY24, SCEC had 29 different federal funding sources, from 14 different agencies. We are working to improve our capacity to report these awards without error before the review of our auditors.

Recommendation: During our review of the grant expenditures, it was noted that budgeted amounts were charged to the grant instead of the actual costs incurred. This practice was observed in multiple instances, leading to discrepancies between the reported expenditures and the actual costs. Management did not review time and effort to make after-the-fact adjustments to the amounts charged to the grant. We recommend that the Organization establish a review process to ensure that all costs charged to the grant are based on actual expenditures and are properly documented Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management has established a review process to ensure that all costs charged to the grant are based on actual expenditures and are properly documented.

Recommendation: Under 2 CRF 200.406, credits accruing to or received by the recipient of federal funding that relate to allowable costs must be credited to the Federal award as either a cost reduction or cash refund. The Organization did not have adequate internal controls designed to properly determine the appropriate amounts to be submitted for reimbursement. We recommend the Organization review the expenditures submitted to SAMHSA and ensure that there is no "double dipping' of sales taxes. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management has implemented a review process for all expenditures submitted to SAMHSA. The review process ensures that there is no “double dipping” of sales tax.

Management Response/Corrective Action Plan: The School Department completed the necessary time and effort documents for expense reimbursement that were approved by the Department of Education. The time and effort was not specific to actual time worked for those split among multiple grants or funds. Moving forward, any employee who has time split between multiple grants or Federal and non-Federal activities will be expected to complete a personnel activity report. This report will record actual time spent working on eligible activities for each fund. If the employee has a regular schedule, the employee’s schedule will suffice as their personnel activity report, as long as it follows the guidelines. The personnel activity reports will be requested each month during the reimbursement request process and will be signed by the employee and their supervisor.

Management Response/Corrective Action Plan: We have had a lot of turnover in the business office with a new finance director, payroll coordinator, and finance accounts coordinator (bookkeeper). Since being notified of the issue, we have put procedures in place to ensure issues related to MainePERS contributions do not occur and/or are resolved in a timely manner. As employees are hired, or change funding accounts, the payroll coordinator now has procedures in place to check the appropriate deductions for each account. We also are up to date with MainePERS reconciliation, which includes reviewing contributions for federally funded employees. If an error occurs, the process will cause us to review the issue and reconcile the accounts as necessary.

Management is responsible for verifying that federal expenditures are in compliance with allowable costs and allowable activities.

As a result of this condition, the Authority is exposed to an increased risk of errors or misstatements in financial records related to the federal funds. Auditor Recommendation. The Authority should implement procedures for the independent review and approval by management over all journal entries, accounts payable, and payroll, related to federal funds. Corrective Action. We concur with the recommendation and will continue to seek out possibilities to further strengthen our internal control.

Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.224 and #93.527 Community Health Center Cluster Reporting – Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Finding Summary Certain tables within the Universal Data System (UDS) Report did not reconcile to DAP Health, Inc. supporting information. The tables that did not reconcile to the supporting information include Table 4, Selected Patient Characteristics, and Table 5, Staffing and Utilization. Table 4 reports the total number of patients seen while Table 5 reports the number of clinic visits by the various types of providers. The primary causes of the differences were due to DAP Health, Inc. acquiring a large entity during the year which used a different Electronic Health Record System. The combination of bringing together information from two different systems caused the reporting to be more complicated. In addition, certain supporting documentation used to prepare the UDS report was not maintained. The review process for the UDS report was also not functioning properly. Responsible Individuals Rigo Garcia, Analytics Manager and Bill Lee, Director of Information Management Status Management of DAP Health, Inc. has already converted the 25 acquired clinics to the DAP Health, Inc. Electronic Health System, which streamlined the process for the preparation of the UDS Report for the calendar year ending December 31, 2024. In addition, management has implemented new procedures requiring supporting documentation to be maintained. Management has also implemented a formalized review procedure for the UDS Report prior to submission. Anticipated Completion Date March 31, 2025
