Certain matters were brought to our attention as a result of the audit process. These are described more fully in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. We evaluated the matters noted below, and have described our planned actions as a result. 2022-001 - Program Income - Food Service Fund Balance Management Assessment - We concur with the audit assessment regarding this matter. Planned Corrective Action - The District is aware of the USDA fund balance requirements. The District operated under the Seamless Summer Option during fiscal year 2021-22 which allowed all of our students to eat both breakfast and lunch for free. The District received a large amount of federal funding which in turn resulted in more fund balance than allowed by USDA at 6/30/2022 ($5,466). The Food Service Director and Business Manager are in the process of creating a spenddown plan to be submitted to MDE which will move fund balance within an allowable range. Responsible Party - Business Manager Date of Planned Corrective Action - June 2023

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 2022-005 Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive Grants Program – Assistance Listing No. 10.331 Recommendation: We recommend The Food Trust establish a system of checks and balances that includes a separation of duties. This means that different individuals should be responsible for preparing and requesting the draw of funds, and there should be a clear approval process in place. In addition, it is important to establish a clear process and timeline for performing draws. This may involve regular monitoring of expenditures, timely submission of draw requests, and efficient processing of those requests. By implementing proper segregation of duties, requiring approval from another individual and implementing a timely draw process, the organization can enhance internal controls, reduce the risk of fraud, and ensure the accuracy and integrity of the fund draw process, and can better manage its cash flow, meet its financial obligations, and maintain the smooth operation of the program. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Organization had no internal finance staff from October 2020 through July 2021, and was not fully staffed until March 2023. Having adequate staffing levels within the department allows for the proper segregation of duties and internal controls. In addition, the department now has the capacity to perform these draws on a timely basis. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Regine Metellus, Vice President of Finance Planned completion date for corrective action plan: This matter has been corrected since July 2023. If the oversight agency has questions regarding this plan, please call Regine Metellus, Vice President of Finance at 215‐575‐0444 ext. 163.

1. Recommendation: We recommend that deferred costs related to the origination of loans be classified as a component of loans to members and that the related amortization be reported as a reduction of interest income on loans for financial reporting purposes. 2. Recommendation: We recommend that the accrued liability for accrued bonus expense be adjusted based on bonus projections to ensure compensation expense is recorded in the appropriate accounting period. 3.Recommendation: We recommend that the Credit Union record the appropriate adjustments to the fixed asset cost and accumulated depreciations accounts to accurately report the account balances in the accounting records. 4. Recommendation: We recommend that the Credit Union record the appropriate adjustments to the fixed asset cost account to accurately report the account balance in the accounting records. 5. Recommendation: We recommend that the Credit Union record interest expense on the ECIP debt for the initial interest period as required by GAAP. After this initial period, interest expense would then revert to interest rate as stated in the ECIP agreement. 6. Recommendation: The lack of formal account reconciliations represents a vulnerability in the Credit Union’s internal controls, as errors or unauthorized transactions may occur and not be detected or adjusted in a timely manner. We recommend that management ensure that account reconciliations are prepared timely for all balance sheet accounts at the end of each financial reporting period. Account reconciliations should be reviewed timely, and the review should be documented. 7. Recommendation: All unresolved/uncleared reconciling items appearing on general ledger account reconciliations should be addressed in a timely manner or approved for write-off or adjustment by management. We recommend the Credit Union develop a policy or procedure to establish a threshold for the timely write-off or adjustment of stale dated reconciling items. (No adjustments were recorded to the audited financial statements for these issue as, in the aggregate, they were not deemed material to the Credit Union’s financial statements taken as a whole.) Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and will ensure that account balances are reconciled timely and accurately going forward.
