City’s Corrective Action Plan: At the time of Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) implementation, the guidance provided by U.S. Treasury was continuously evolving and the ERAP team was navigating a complex social and economic crisis. Residents became unemployed, had income reductions as direct result of the pandemic, and/or had limited access to technology to complete application documents. Prior to official guidance recommending the use of an attestation form, some applicants provided written statements that they did not have any income. Furthermore, these applications were accompanied by eviction notices. These households were clearly at risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability, which constitutes an “eligible household” as defined by 15 USC 9058a (k)(3)(A)(ii). This section of the U.S. Code states that a “household can demonstrate a risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability” by providing a “past due utility or rent notice or eviction notice.” While the portal used to intake, review, and approve applications shows occasional inconsistencies with income verification boxes not checked off, all of the sampled cases were verified to be under the income threshold, provided an eviction notice, past due rent notice, and/or signed a written statement that they had zero income. Although certain boxes were not checked within the portal, all cases were verified through diligent and compassionate coordination with households requesting support. Furthermore, a risk assessment by the State's Housing & Community Development for the 2021 Program Year evaluated the City's risk profile as Low Risk. All program expenditures were concluded in fiscal year 2022-23. This was one-time funding. There will be some administrative costs related to the grant in fiscal year 2023-24, but no additional funding was received, therefore eligibility requirements will not be direct material in fiscal year 2023-24. Responsible Person: Jordan Peterson (Deputy Director of Redevelopment), Carrie Wright (Director of Economic Development) Expected Implementation Date: July 2023

Audit Period: December 31, 2023 2023-001 Missing voucher documentation, U.S. Department of Labor Criteria: Internal controls over Federal awards must be designed and implemented to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with applicable Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: During our testing, we noted one instance, in a sample of 68 expenditures tested, in which supporting documentation could not be provided. Action Taken: Finance staff reviewed internal controls and the overall process with team members responsible for providing supporting documentation for all expenditures as well as those who receive and review documentation prior to processing expenses for reimbursement. In addition to this training, additional review for all supporting documents has been added prior to billing for expenses. Responsible Party: Accountant responsible for billing expenditures Point of Contact: Stephanie Smoot – VP of Finance – ssmoot@goodwillvalleys.com. Expected date of correction: End of May 2024 once made aware of missing documentation.

Status: Completed Corrective Action: The City disagrees with the finding. BDO’s review of the ERA2 administration costs should consider the timing of the static report submission. The report was prior to monthly close/reconciliation for March 2023 administrative expenses, which occurs the following month. The correct administration costs for Q2 is $40,484.26. We make every attempt to coincide the grant reporting requirements however, if there are updates/changes needed we make those adjustments in future reports.

For Assistance Listing 93.011, the auditors were unable to obtain sufficient documentation supporting the compliance of the Corporation regarding eligibility. Participants are eligible to participate in the program and receive a gift card if they received a COVID-19 vaccine. The Corporation screened applicants for eligibility, however, they did not retain supporting documentation to support that the participants in the program had a COVID-19 vaccine. Compliance with the eligibility requirements is the responsibility of Kimberly Green Reeves, Executive Director of Community Impact and the grant coordinator. As grants G32HS42634C6 and U3SHS45317C6 ended May 31, 2023, and July 31, 2023, respectively, no further correction action will be taken. However effective August 15th, 2023, the Corporation has implemented the following changes, which we believe would address future internal control considerations. The below procedures were added to the grant checklist which is required on all grants applied for by the Corporation entities. Responsible parties are required to document all procedures and sign off on these procedures. The requirements formalize reporting and data management procedures, which include proper management approval and retention of these records. The grant checklist is additionally approved by the grant applicant and Vice President or Executive Director overseeing the grant. Determine if there are any eligibility requirements. If so, please list the requirements and how these requirements will be documented. • All eligibility requirements should be documented and signed off on at the time the eligibility is confirmed. • All documentation of these procedures should be retained and readily available upon request.

A scope limitation qualified opinion was issued for Assistance Listing 10.557 as the auditors were unable to obtain sufficient documentation supporting the compliance of the Corporation regarding eligibility. The Corporation uses a paperless system as supported by the State of Indiana and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Third-party documentation is reviewed by the Corporation at the time the initial eligibility determination of a WIC participant is made. However, due to the paperless system implemented in 2007, these records are not retained. The Corporation’s process for eligibility determination is as follows: 1. A (potential) participant comes into the WIC clinic 2. A clerk verifies information (by looking and checking the appropriate boxes on the screen) a. Proof of identification (driver’s license, birth certificate, hospital birth record, etc.) b. Proof of residence (bill, lease, driver’s license, etc.) c. Proof of income i. Working – 30 days of pay stubs ii. Medicaid – card needed 3. All of the above information is entered into the State of Indiana’s system a. System automatically determines eligibility i. If yes – they continue with appointment ii. If no – they get a letter explaining reason why (over income, etc.) Compliance with State of Indiana participant eligibility requirements is the responsibility of Leslie Miller, WIC Coordinator. As the Corporation follows the State of Indiana’s paperless system as described above, no further corrective action will be taken.

Recommendation: We recommend procedures be strengthened to ensure that all requests for reimbursement are for expenditures that have been incurred and paid/disbursed. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Nick Robertson, Town Accountant Planned completion date for corrective action plan: The reconciliation meetings were reintroduced in December 2022 upon Nick Robertson’s hiring as Town Accountant. There have been monthly and/or as needed meetings since to reconcile ledgers before grant reimbursements are submitted. Action taken in response to finding: Prior to the turnover in the Finance Department which occurred during the FY22 to early FY23 period, there were consistent meetings between Finance/Accounting and Jacobs Engineering (they manage the Airport projects and prepare the reimbursement requests) to confirm that the Town’s accounting software matched the expenses on the reimbursement requests. These meetings reconciling the ledgers did not occur when this reimbursement request was submitted by Jacobs. These meetings have been reinstated on a monthly basis and occasionally more frequently as needed.
