The Organization will implement the following corrective actions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 to remediate the finding and address the cause of the finding. The Organization has hired staff with higher technical accounting skills than the previous staff. The following staff have been hired full-time or will be hired soon: Payroll and Benefits Specialist, Grant Accountant, Senior Staff Accountant, Accounts Payables and Receivables Specialist, and a Purchasing Specialist. • The Organization’s Human Resources has implemented quarterly audits on all new staff to verify each new staff member hired within the last year has a signed employee offer and appropriate backup support to support each employee’s annual salary. • The Organization has implemented a new accounting system – Sage Intacct. Additionally, we have implemented a grants project tracking module to better help with grants and contracts reporting and compliance. • The Organization has implemented a new payroll and human resources IT solution – UKG. All manual and onboarding processes have been implemented within the system for tracking and auditing purposes. • The Organization will implement an established month-end checklist for all monthly entries to be completed by assigned finance staff. We will ensure that all staff are trained adequately to handle any assigned task. All monthly entries are required to be reviewed and approved by the Chief Financial Officer prior to posting to the general ledger within our new Accounting Software. All appropriate backup documentation will be saved and stored within the accounting software. • All grant related year-end audit procedures has been transitioned to the Grant Accountant who has experience with audits, compliance, and reporting for City, State, and Federal grants. • The Organization has documented accounting policies and procedures to reflect the new month-end processes and provide training to staff on current and future policies. • The Organization will ensure that Finance personnel receive a minimum of twenty-five (25) hours of training annually of relevant accounting topics including updates to generally accepted accounting principles, generally accepted government accounting principles, nonprofit and governmental financial reporting, and other related accounting trainings. • The Organization will ensure that any personnel involved in financial reporting have the technical expertise to help with the preparation, review, and analysis of the financial statements and supplementary information. The target date for implementation is April 2025. The responsible party for the planned resources will be Raheel Shahzad, Chief Financial Officer (708) 288-7897.

2024-003 - (Noncompliance) Uniform Guidance Written Policies/Procedures Federal Program: Assistance Listing #21.027, COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, U.S. Department of Treasury, Passed Through County of Luzerne, Pennsylvania, Pass-Through Entity Identifying Number: not available Assistance Listing #66.202, Congressionally Mandated Projects, United States Environmental Protection Agency, Pass-Through Entity Identifying Number: 95339501-0 Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires written policies and/or procedures in the areas of allowability of costs and cash management. Condition/Context: While the Authority has informal policies and procedures surrounding the administration of its federal programs, these policies and procedures have not been formally documented to ensure compliance with the areas of allowability of costs and cash management as required under the Uniform Guidance. Corrective Action Plan Although the Authority currently follows the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and has informal policies and procedures as it relates to the administration of federal grant activities, the Authority will establish a formal written policy titled Uniform Guidance for Federal Grants by December 31, 2025. WVSA’s Internal Auditor, Comptroller, Purchasing Department and general business staff are overseeing and implementing the corrective actions with oversight of the CFO and CTO.

The Town of Jonesboro respectfully disagrees with this finding as presented. While the audit notes delays between the receipt of federal funds and their disbursement, the Town asserts that it is not responsible for managing or operating the federal financial system that governs the authorization, disbursement, or scheduling of funds related to the referenced grant. The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) and other relevant governmental entities manage the disbursement platform used for this grant, and Town personnel do not have direct administrative control over its structure or scheduling capabilities. Furthermore, Town staff have not received adequate training or guidance from state or federal administrators regarding the procedural requirements or compliance timelines for the Clear Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program. Despite these limitations, the Town remains fully committed to compliance with federal cash management standards and the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR § 200.305), which requires recipients to minimize the time elapsing between the receipt and disbursement of federal funds. To that end, the Town will take the following corrective actions: 1. Formal Communication with Program Administrators: The Town will engage the appropriate contacts at the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and relevant federal partners to clarify disbursement protocols, timelines, and responsibilities under the CWSRF program. 2. Staff Training and Coordination: The Town will coordinate with the LDEQ and/or EPA to request or arrange formal training for municipal staff involved in the administration of federal grant funds, with a focus on cash management and financial compliance procedures. 3. Procedure Development: Following training and clarification from the funding agencies, the Town will develop internal procedures and documentation protocols to ensure that federal funds are disbursed as promptly as administratively possible upon receipt. The Town of Jonesboro affirms its commitment to fiscal transparency, accountability, and compliance with all applicable state and federal grant management requirements. We look forward to working collaboratively with our state and federal partners to improve administrative performance in all future program years.

We understand the recommendation set forth by KPMG and will update our controls and processes to include additional review of expenses incurred during the relevant audit period. Grady’s corrective action plan: During the FY 2024 single audit, one unallowable payroll disbursement totaling $1,988 was reimbursed by the federal agency. The disbursement was associated with a rarely used payroll code that is routinely excluded from reimbursement requests. Internal controls over the review process for payroll charges exist and will be strengthened to ensure only allowable charges are charged to the grant.

Finding 2025-002: Untimely Paid Credit Balance Comments on Finding and Recommendation: Statement of Concurrence: We concur with the finding of Untimely Paid Credit Balance The delay in issuing the credit balance was due to a timing oversight related to the award year dates. Although the Credit Balance Authorization Form was on file, the refund was processed after the award year had ended, rather than within the required timeframe. In the past, students were always allowed to keep funds in their Populi accounts for future use regardless of the loan award year, and it had not previously been indicated that this practice was not allowed. Actions Taken or Planned: We have reviewed our internal procedures and will strengthen oversight of award year deadlines to ensure that all credit balances are refunded within the required timeframe. Moving forward, the financial aid and accounting teams will implement a compliance checklist and establish calendar reminders to prevent similar delays. Additionally, we will revise the wording on our Credit Balance Authorization Form to read: “Leave the funds in my account and any remaining funds from the current award year in my account up to the end of the loan period.” Completion Date: Ongoing 9/26/2025 Dong-Hua Yang MD, PhD Date Title: Administrative Dean Telephone: 516-739-1545 Email: administrative_dean@nyctcm.edu

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. Corrective actions: The Executive Leadership Team reviewed the staffing needs of the finance and accounting and human resources teams in 2024. Hiring and training staff to achieve a full team was established as key objectives for the Executive Leadership Team in early 2025. As of September 2025, all vacant positions in both teams have either been filled or have been posted and are in active hiring process. The Chief Financial Officer and Chief of Human Resources have reviewed all internal procedures related to award compliance and will ensure that compliance is timely and well documented going forward. Specifically, the Chief Financial Officer will ensure that purchase orders, invoices, financial reports, and performance reports are completed, reviewed, and approved prior to submission and funding. These processes will have additional oversight by the Chief Executive Officer, with assistance from the newly established Compliance Department, and the Board of Trustees. Responsible parties for corrective actions: The Chief Financial Officer will have direct responsibility for award compliance and will be supported by Chief of Human Resources. The Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany A. Tate, with assistance from the newly established Compliance Department, will confirm that compliance occurs on a timely basis and prior to submission and funding. Separately, the Chief Financial Officer will report on progress to the Audit & Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Executive Leadership Team will be responsible for ensuring the finance and accounting and human resources teams achieve and maintain full staffing levels. Anticipated completion date: The organization is actively implementing the corrective actions by ensuring sufficient staffing as mentioned above and training to ensure prior approval of all grant reports and drawdown requests. As of October 1, 2025, all grant reports will be appropriately approved and documented as such.

Corrective Action Plan: Due to operational management turnover and restructuring experienced in 2024 and 2025, this corrective action plan has been delayed. Atrium Health CMHA management has engaged with outside consultants in the third quarter of 2025 to examine and redesign various processes and work flows. This project is expected to address the gap in SFA transactional review and approval internal controls that are arising due to the SFA program size, limited number of subject matter experts, and the management turn; and result in mitigating controls and policies being implemented to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all SFA transactions. Proposed Completion Date: By December of 2025, Atrium Health CMHA management will complete the corrective action.

Corrective Action Plan for Finding 2024-002 Finding 2024-002 – Allowable Costs - Assistance Listing: 14.251 – Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding and Miscellaneous Grants Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Views of Responsible Officials: The Organization concurs with the auditor’s finding and appreciates the feedback provided. We acknowledge that documentation submitted in support of draw requests did not always align precisely with the accounting records, specifically the profit and loss by class. Although there were sufficient allowable costs incurred during the audit period to support the drawdowns, we understand that consistency between supporting documentation and accounting system records is essential for compliance with Federal requirements. Corrective Action Plan: We are in the process of developing formal written procedures for managing draw requests under federal awards. These procedures will include verifying that all draw requests are supported by invoices or expenditure documentation that is properly coded in the accounting system. Ensuring that supporting documentation submitted for reimbursement exactly matches the accounting entries, both in amount and coding (by class/funding source). Because the Organization is relatively new to managing federal awards, we will provide targeted training to accounting and program staff on draw request preparation and review.

Finding 2024-001 – Allowable Costs Payroll; Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Instance of Noncompliance State of Washington Tourism did not maintain supporting documentation for payroll amounts charged to the Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant. We conducted calculations and provided supporting documentation noting $27,387 in operations underbilled to the grant. Prior to these audit findings, we have implemented controls and procedures to document dedicated hours worked on the grant and supporting payroll details. The Accounting Manager will provide payroll details with supporting documentation, and the Director of Strategic Partnership and Tourism Development will review/approve dedicated hours and operations expense worksheet. These changes took effect April 2025.
