Finding number 2025-003: Material weakness in cash management of advance payment. The council drew down a portion of the federal award amount in advance of immediate cash needs. The draw occurred in March 2025 after management determined that a potential federal funding freeze could significantly delay the project if funds were not immediately accessible. The council typically limits drawdowns to requests for reimbursements; however, management elected to deviate from this practice due to the perceived risk. In addition, the council does not currently have a written cash management policy compliant with 2 CFR 200, which contributed to the inconsistency. The funds were fully expended on allowable program costs over a nine-month period. The funds were not kept in an interest-bearing account in accordance with 2 CFR 200.305(b). Questioned costs: none. Contact Person(s): Brian Barr, Executive Director Explanation and specific reasons for disagreement with audit finding or that corrective action is not required (if applicable): N/A Corrective action planned: The Rogue River Watershed Council will develop a cash management policy in compliance with 2 CFR 200 (or amend our Fiscal Management Policy to include required cash management policies and procedures). The policy/ amendment will focus on short-term cash flow needs and the need to minimize time between the transfer and disbursement of federal funds, which will guide the organization’s use of federal funding. Anticipated completion date: Rogue River Watershed Council will have a cash management policy/ updated Fiscal Management Policy in place no later than 7/31/2026.

Name of contact person: Jennifer Santerre, Chief Financial Officer Corrective Action: The Organization was fortunate to have sufficient cash on hand in order to continue to provide the highestquality of care to its residents during the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily as a result of federal and state stimulus funds, which were restricted in usage, received during 2020 and 2021. The Organization made it a priority to ensure that its staff continued to be compensated throughout the pandemic. Accordingly, the Organization kept cash on hand in order to meet the needs of the residents cared for daily and the dedicated staff who serve them. The Organization was not expecting a surplus cash situation at December 31, 2020 or June 30, 2021. Had the Organization not received stimulus funds through programs such as the Provider Relief Fund and Paycheck Protection Program, the Organization would not have had surplus cash at both December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021. The required deposit due to the residual receipt account for the year ended December 31, 2020 was made on May 31, 2022. The Organization is currently in the process of discussing repayment terms for the deposit due for the period June 30, 2021 with its asset manager which includes discussions for the repayment of $1.6M in frontline costs that were funded by the Parent Organization back to the Parent. Proposed Completion Date: No later than December 31, 2026

2025-003-Significant Advance Drawdown on Federal Fund for Six Months, United States Department of Health and Human Services, Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems 93.932, On January 20, 2025, we received the first Executive Order from President Trump, placing a hold on federal funding. We were advised that the PMS (Payment Management System) would be down and drawdowns would not be available until further notice. From January 20th, 2025, we tried to complete a drawdown, and the PMS system was not available. On January 28, 2025, finally accessing the PMS system, we estimated our January expenses and completed a drawdown for $200,000. At the time, we needed the HRSA funding to cover January costs already spent. Due to the uncertainty of the HRSA funding availability, and when the PMS system would be available, we estimated another drawdown the following day, to cover at least 2 more months of HRSA expenses. The other Native Hawaiian Health Systems could not access the PMS system, which prompted us to complete another drawdown to cover HRSA expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year. We were able to expend all HRSA funding that was drawn down by fiscal year ending July 31, 2025.
