Management concurs with the auditor’s recommendations. The Organization experienced an extreme legal issue with one tenant that drained the checking account above the usual expenses in 2024 and 2025 plus lowered the revenue for the unit until the Organization could successfully evict the tenant from the property. This was an unusually aggressive and unethical tenant that used the system to inflict continuous financial hardships on the Organization. To remedy this situation, management noted there are no pending legal issues at this time or outstanding attorney charges and will: Submit proper documentation to HUD to request retroactive approval of transfer with HUD Funds Authorization. Management will be in contact with HUD on how to resolve the unauthorized transfer covering the extreme legal issue. This action will be addressed within the full picture of the need to stabilize the project’s physical and financial issues to ensure that the organization continues to function effectively. Implement internal controls to ensure that all future withdrawals from restricted account receive required HUD authorization prior to disbursement and banking restrictions. Provide staff training on HUD regulatory requirements related to restricted accounts.

Corrective Action Plan: The Housing Authority concurs with the auditor's recommendation. The outstanding inter-entity balance has been identified as a legacy balance associated with the RAD conversion and the transfer of assets and liabilities to Athens Housing Management, LLC. Management's review and reconciliation of the balance are in progress. Before recording any final disposition, the Authority will determine the balance's origin, funding source, supporting documentation, legal obligation, and collectability, including whether federally restricted or RAD/PBRA project funds are involved. The Board of Commissioners may authorize the accounting disposition of the balance, subject to the Authority's governing documents and applicable law; however, a Board vote alone will not be treated as authority to forgive or extinguish a federally restricted or project-level receivable. The Authority will complete the following process: 1. Complete and document the reconciliation and proposed accounting treatment in both entities' records, with management and legal review, and provide the supporting documentation to the Authority's auditor. 2. Determine whether the balance is subject to the RAD closing documents, HAP Contract, RAD Use Agreement, Surplus Cash requirements, or other Federal restrictions. If so, submit the reconciliation, proposed entries, supporting documentation, and draft resolutions to the appropriate HUD Field Office or Multifamily Account Executive and obtain written direction or concurrence, as applicable. 3.Present conditional resolutions to the governing boards of the Housing Authority and Athens Housing Management, LLC, as applicable, authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to record the disposition only after all required HUD approvals or concurrences have been received. 4. Record corresponding entries in both entities, retain the complete reconciliation and approval package, and disclose the final resolution to the auditor. This process is consistent with 2 CFR §§ 200.302 and 200.303, which require accurate, supported financial records, accountability for Federal funds and assets, and documented internal controls. It also recognizes the RAD Notice requirements governing Surplus Cash and related-party advances. Going forward, inter-entity balances will be reconciled monthly, reviewed by management, and any unresolved items will be reported to the Chief Executive Officer as part of the monthly financial review.

2025-008 Federal Direct Student Loans – Assistance Listing No. 84.268 Federal Pell Grant Program – Assistance Listing No. 84.063 Recommendation: We recommend that the University should implement formal review procedures to document that the Cash Management reconciliation and drawdown reviews are being performed to correct errors in a timely manner and to minimize the likelihood of errors going undetected. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The University performs cash management reconciliation and drawdown reviews; however, formal documentation of these reviews has not been consistently maintained. To address this, the University is implementing formal review procedures that include documented evidence of reconciliation and drawdown review activities. As part of this process, reconciliations and drawdowns prepared by FA Solutions will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Office for accuracy and completeness prior to submission and reporting. These procedures will be formalized within a standardized SOP, which will outline review timelines, responsibilities, and required documentation to ensure errors are identified and resolved in a timely manner and to reduce the risk of discrepancies going undetected.

Recommendation We recommend that the Center implement a policy that requires all WIC voucher and supporting records to be reviewed and that such review be documented. Action Taken WIC vouchers and supporting documentation were reviewed and approved in accordance with BSFHC's established policy. However, the reviews were not documented, resulting in insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the required review had been performed. Going forward, Management will ensure that all WIC vouchers and supporting documentation are reviewed and that the review is documented through the reviewer's signature or initials. Management will monitor compliance with this requirement to ensure that documentation ofthe review is consistently maintained.

Finding #2025-003 – Material Weakness and Material Noncompliance – Allowable Costs. Applicable federal program: National Endowment for the Arts, Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals, Assistance Listing #45.024, Annual contract periods: 10/01/23 – 09/30/24; 10/01/24 – 09/30/2...
Finding #2025-003 – Material Weakness and Material Noncompliance – Allowable Costs. Applicable federal program: National Endowment for the Arts, Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals, Assistance Listing #45.024, Annual contract periods: 10/01/23 – 09/30/24; 10/01/24 – 09/30/25. Condition and context: M-AAA failed to submit its indirect cost rate application in 2024, which resulted in a lapse in an approved rate. At the direction of the program officer at the National Endowment for the Arts, M-AAA was directed to use the 10% de minimus rate; however, the billings were not adjusted for the change in indirect rates resulting in overbilling to the federal grants. Recommendation: Re-emphasize internal procedures for review of allowable indirect costs based upon an approved indirect cost rate or election to use 10% de minimus rate. Planned corrective action: M-AAA has elected to use de minimus rate approved by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). We reported the overbilling to the NEA and resolved the difference in the indirect costs that had been applied. Responsible officer: Todd Stein, CEO and Charley Young, Finance Director. Estimated completion date: March 2026.

Finding #2025-002 – Material Weakness and Other Noncompliance – Cash Management. Applicable federal program: National Endowment for the Arts, Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals, Assistance Listing #45.024, Annual contract period: 10/01/22 – 09/30/27. Condition and context: The federal contract with M-AAA is a 5-year grant with annual budget periods that end September 30 of each of the years in the contract thru 2027. M-AAA requested advances in the Spring of 2025 when there was uncertainty in the timing of future grant payments. At June 30, 2025, M‑AAA held approximately $578,000 in refundable advances, approximately $368,000 which was spent subsequent to year end for the period of July 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025. Recommendation: Re-emphasize internal procedures to ensure federal funds are not being held for an excess period of time. Planned corrective action: M-AAA was uncertain about the timing of future grant payments and requested advances in April 2025. Because payments to subrecipients were delayed, excess funds remained on hand at fiscal year-end and were distributed in the following fiscal year. With a stronger cash position in the new fiscal year, we have shifted to a reimbursement-based approach for cash requests. Advances will be requested only when grant payments are expected within 30 days and closely monitored to ensure close out. Responsible officer: Todd Stein, CEO and Charley Young, Finance Director. Estimated completion date: December 2025.

Reporting – Financial and Performance Assistance Listing Number 14.251 – Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Federal Award Identification Number(s): B-22-CP-CO-0165 and B-23-CP-CO-0280 Award Year – 2022 and 2023 Condition: During testing, it was noted that the semiannual performance reports required to be submitted during calendar year 2025 were not submitted by the required deadlines. The reports, which were due in January 2025 and July 2025, were not submitted until September 2025. As a result, the Grantee did not submit required financial and performance reports within the timeframe prescribed by the grant agreement and 2 CFR §§ 200.328 and 200.329. Additionally, management could not provide evidence of review for one of the reports. Planned Corrective Action: Departments that administer grants will establish and maintain a grant tracking process to identify required reporting, due dates, and personnel responsible for the completion and review of the required reporting. This tracking process will be documented and shared with the Controller’s Office. In addition, Departments will maintain documentation of the review and approval of reports as part of the grant documentation.

Finding 2025-001 Allowable Cost Principles and Activities Allowed or Unallowed Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Assistance Listing Number 21.029 While Wabash currently maintains informal procedures for coding and reviewing invoices and payroll records, we recognize the need for a formalized, written policy governing expenditures charged to federal awards. To address identified significant deficiency, Wabash implemented a comprehensive written policy as of June 30, 2026. This policy will formalized the coding, review, and reporting processes for all federal expenditures. Key improvements included: • Enhanced Internal Controls: We established a clear segregation of duties to ensure oversight and accuracy. • Timely Reporting: We refined our payroll allocation process. Previously, payroll expenditures were withheld pending budget verification, which occasionally led to reporting delays. New controls will ensure that all expenditures, including payroll, are reported within the required quarterly timeframes. • Monitoring: The Controller will oversee the development of these procedures and remain responsible for ongoing monitoring and compliance. These steps will ensure our financial practices meet federal standards and provide rigorous oversight of project funds.

Audit Finding Reference: 2025-003 Document Policies and Procedures Over Federal Awards Planned Corrective Action: This finding was identified by the Town’s independent auditor during the FY2025 single audit and was not issued by a federal awarding agency. The Assistant Town Administrator/Finance Director will prepare a concise federal awards procedures addendum addressing allowable costs, employee travel, cash management, procurement, conflicts of interest, and subrecipient monitoring. The addendum will incorporate existing Town policies by reference where they already address a requirement and will identify the responsible finance and departmental roles. Following management review and approval, the addendum will be provided to employees who administer federal awards and retained with the Town’s financial policies. It will be updated when federal requirements or the Town’s federal grant activity materially change. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: October 31, 2026 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Assistant Town Administrator/Finance Director, with oversight by the Town Administrator
Condition: The Town incurred and charged expenditures totaling $30,826 to a FEMA Public Assistance project after the approved period of performance ended on October 31, 2024.

Condition: The Town incurred and charged expenditures totaling $30,826 to a FEMA Public Assistance project after the approved period of performance ended on October 31, 2024. The Town submitted a formal request to extend the period of performance on September 8, 2025. As of March 19, 2026, FEMA had communicated that the extension request has been denied. However, FEMA reimbursed the Town for the expenditures incurred after October 31, 2024. As of the date of this audit report, FEMA has not indicated whether the reimbursement will ultimately be retained or subject to recovery. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: The Town will implement a grant expenditure review checklist requiring pre-approval for any costs beyond the approved period; train all grant staff on compliance requirements; update internal controls. The Town will also document all correspondence whether that be by phone, email or written correspondence with FEMA when it comes to deadline extensions. The Town’s FEMA-funded recovery projects are complex, multi-year projects associated with rebuilding the community. Many projects have extended beyond their original completion dates due to factors including the pandemic, supply-chain and world trade impacts, weather, labor availability, construction timelines, and contract procurement requirements. In addition, frequent turnover among FEMA personnel assigned to the Town’s recovery projects has at times resulted in changes in points of contact, delays in responses, and extended processing times for approvals, determinations, and extension requests. These circumstances have contributed to the length and complexity of administering projects that already require significant coordination over multiple years. The Town has continued to work closely with FEMA throughout this process and has received approvals for extensions on recovery projects. In this instance, the expenditures identified in the finding occurred after the original October 31, 2024 period and were ultimately reimbursed by FEMA. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Aimee Beleu, Finance Director Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action will be implemented to take effect for the audit of the FY 2025-26 financial statements.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management acknowledges that, for certain reimbursement requests, documentation evidencing review and approval prior to submission was not retained. Management notes, however, that the underlying expenditures included in the reimbursement requests were valid, properly recorded in the general ledger, and supported by appropriate accounting records. No questioned costs were identified, and the amounts requested for reimbursement were consistent with allowable program expenditures. Management believes the condition was limited to documentation of review rather than the absence of an actual review process. Reimbursement requests were prepared using underlying financial records and submitted based on incurred costs; however, evidence of supervisory review was not consistently retained during a period of staffing transition. Upon identification, management evaluated its cash management and drawdown processes and reinforced expectations related to documentation and retention of review and approval. Review and approval of reimbursement requests are now consistently evidenced through electronic or physical sign off, and supporting documentation is maintained in a centralized and accessible manner. In addition, management has reinforced alignment of drawdown activity with underlying accounting records to ensure consistency between reimbursement requests, financial reporting, and the general ledger. Management believes this condition represents a documentation gap during a defined period rather than a systemic breakdown in internal control over compliance. The underlying control activities—preparation of drawdowns based on recorded expenditures and supervisory oversight—were in place and functioning, and the enhancements implemented ensure consistent documentation and retention of those controls going forward. Management will continue to monitor these processes as part of ongoing financial operations to ensure compliance with applicable requirements, including 2 CFR Part 200. Management respectfully notes that this condition was limited to the retention of documentation evidencing review and approval and did not impact the allowability of costs, the accuracy of reimbursement requests, or compliance with program requirements. All expenditures were properly supported and recorded, and no questioned costs were identified.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management acknowledges that documentation supporting the review and approval of a reimbursement request was not retained, and that drawdown activity during the period did not consistently align with the timing of incurred expenditures. M...
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management acknowledges that documentation supporting the review and approval of a reimbursement request was not retained, and that drawdown activity during the period did not consistently align with the timing of incurred expenditures. Management notes that this condition was identified during a period of staffing transition and resulted in a lapse in documentation and timeliness, rather than an absence of underlying financial controls. Management further notes that the expenditure underlying the reimbursement request were valid, properly recorded in the general ledger, and supported by appropriate accounting records. The condition was limited to documentation of review and the timing of drawdown activity, and no questioned costs were identified. Upon identification, management evaluated and reinforced its cash management and drawdown processes. Drawdown requests are now consistently prepared based on underlying accounting records and aligned with incurred expenditures. A formal review and approval step has been implemented and is now required prior to submission, with evidence of review retained electronically or physically for audit purposes. In addition, management has strengthened oversight of drawdown timing to better align reimbursements with the period in which costs are incurred, reducing the risk of delayed submissions and ensuring consistency with related financial reporting. Management believes this condition represents a lapse in execution and documentation during a defined period rather than a systemic breakdown in control design. Enhancements implemented have addressed the identified gaps and established a more consistent and well documented process for drawdown preparation, review, and submission in accordance with applicable requirements, including 2 CFR Part 200.
