Management’s Response The District concurs with the audit finding and is taking immediate steps to strengthen internal controls regarding federal equipment inventory. The following corrective actions will be implemented: • Collaboration & Compliance: The Business Office is currently working closely with the Federal Programs Director/Coordinator to ensure all federal compliance measures are rigorously met. • Inventory Tracking System: The Business Office has developed and implemented a robust inventory tracking and asset-tagging system to accurately monitor all items purchased with federal funds. At a minimum, this system will track item descriptions, physical locations, useful life, and disposal dates. • Policy Review: The Board of Trustees will review and update current board policy to ensure full alignment with Uniform Guidance procurement and equipment standards. • Annual Oversight: The Federal Programs Director will maintain all inventory records and provide them in their entirety to the Business Manager at the end of each fiscal year. The Business Manager will conduct a comprehensive review of these records to verify accuracy and completeness

Description of Finding: The School failed to properly identify all federal grant expenditures and related information required by Uniform Grant Guidance to be reported in the June 30, 2024 schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The School acknowledges the audit finding related to internal controls over the preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The School recognizes the importance of properly identifying and reporting all federal award expenditures in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. Corrective Action: To address this finding, the School, with assistance from its contracted accounting and management firm, will track federal award revenues and expenditures separately in the general ledger. The School and the contracted accounting and management firm will use appropriate general ledger accounts, grant codes, project codes, or other tracking mechanisms to separately identify federal award activity from state, local, and other non-federal activity. The School, with assistance from the contracted accounting and management firm, will prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards at the end of each fiscal year, as required. The schedule will be prepared using the federal award revenues and expenditures tracked in the general ledger and will be reviewed against available supporting documentation, including grant award documents, reimbursement requests, drawdown records, funding agency reports, and other applicable grant documentation. The School will maintain supporting documentation for the amounts reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Management will review the schedule for completeness and accuracy before it is provided to the auditors. Projected Completion Date: The School has hired an outside accounting and management firm effective July 1, 2025. The School is currently working with the firm on the corrective actions outlined here. The School does not anticipate a single audit requirement moving forward.

Views of Responsible Officials: Management acknowledges the conditions noted in this finding. The delays in audit completion and account reconciliations were primarily attributable to significant staff transition within the accounting department during the fiscal year. ICFJ has since stabilized its accounting function and is committed to implementing a formal monthly close process to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting going forward. A monthly close checklist will be developed and maintained, with documented evidence of review and approval. All financial and compliance documents will be filed in a centralized, organized system to permit prompt retrieval.  Anticipated completion date: 12/31/26  Responsible position: Chief Financial Officer

Finding 2024-005 – Duplicate Reimbursement Request for Federal Award Expenditures (Material Weakness) Criteria: CFR §200.403 and related provisions, costs charged to federal awards must be accurate, allowable, and not charged or reimbursed more than once. Additionally, reimbursement requests must be supported by complete and accurate records to ensure compliance with federal requirements and prevent improper payments. Condition: During our testing of expenditures and reimbursement requests for the above-referenced federal program, we identified that certain expenditures were submitted for reimbursement twice across twoseparate fiscal years. While the underlying expenditures were incurred only once, and not paid twice by the entity, they were included in reimbursement requests in two different periods, resulting in The Town receiving duplicate reimbursements for the same costs Cause: The duplication likely occurred due to changes in financial staffing for The Town. Specifically: • Turnover in personnel resulted in a loss of institutional knowledge regarding prior reimbursement and submissions. • Inadequate review controls allowed previously reimbursed expenditures to be re-submitted in a subsequent period. • Initial reimbursement requests appear to have used an alternate methodology for reimbursement requests. Context: The Town administers multiple federal awards and is responsible for preparing and submitting reimbursement requests based on incurred allowable expenditures. During the audit period, The Town experienced staff turnover and changes in key financial and grant management roles. These changes affected the continuity of oversight and the tracking of cumulative expenditures and prior reimbursement requests. As a result, controls over the review and reconciliation of reimbursement submissions were not consistently applied, contributing to the resubmission of previously reimbursed expenditures in a subsequent year. Recommendation: We recommend that the entity: • Reconcile all reimbursement requests to the underlying expenditures and prior submissions to identify and quantify any additional duplication. • Re-pay any overpayments to the federal awarding agency in a timely manner. • Strengthen internal controls by: o Implementing a centralized tracking system for all reimbursement requests and cumulative expenditures. o Establishing a formal review and approval process to verify that costs have not been previously reimbursed. o Clearly document roles and responsibilities, especially during staffing transitions. • Provide training to staff involved in grant management to ensure compliance with federal requirements. Corrective Action Plan: The Town of Lakeview has taken significant organizational and procedural steps to strengthen its administration of federal awards and ensure future compliance with Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Corrective actions implemented include: • The Town has hired a Finance Director with substantial experience in state and federal grant administration and financial reporting. The Finance Director is responsible for oversight of all federal financial reporting, including review of expenditures and preparation of disbursement requests. • The Town has hired a new Town Manager who has established improved financial oversight and accountability throughout the organization. The Town Manager will work closely with the Finance Director to monitor compliance with federal grant requirements and review expenditures and disbursement requests. • The Town Council has established a Citizen Finance Advisory Committee to provide independent oversight and review of the Town’s financial management practices. The committee will review financial reports, budget performance, and federal grant administration processes, providing recommendations to improve accountability and transparency. • The Town has developed and implemented formal policies and procedures governing the administration of federal awards including: o Identification and tracking of awards o Documentation of expenditures charged to federal programso Procedures for maintaining grant files o Reconciliation of grant expenditures to the general ledger o Annual preparation and supervisory review of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards • The Finance Director will prepare disbursement requests, and they will be reviewed and signed by Council members prior to submittal. A ll disbursement requests and associated expenditures will be maintained in an electronic file system. Hard copies of disbursement requests and expenditure documentation will also be maintained in a standardized fi le system. Planned Implementation Date: The corrective actions described above have been implemented. The Town will continue to monitor compliance throughout the fiscal year, and the revised procedures will be fully incorporated into the preparation of the next annual SEFA. Responsible Person: Town of Lakeview Mayor.

We will implement formalized procedures to strengthen oversight and accounting for grant-funded programs administered by external parties. This will include establishing defined communication protocols requiring external grant administrators to provide detailed expenditure reports on a quarterly basis. In addition, external parties will be required to submit sufficient supporting documentation to enable the Authority to properly record grant activity on an accrual basis in accordance with applicable financial reporting and single audit requirements. We will also prepare annual schedules of expenditures for both federal awards and state financial assistance to facilitate timely evaluation of single audit requirements. These schedules will be reviewed annually by the Board.

View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan The AAIHB acknowledges that its subrecipient related practices could be improved upon. The AAIHB will review and revise its internal processes and procedures and implement the auditor’s recommendations to ensure compliance with subrecipient requirements. Corrective Action Plan Timeline Prior to the audit finding, the AAIHB already had one meeting with key personnel involved in the administration and oversight of subawards to begin implementing improvements to our subrecipient monitoring practices. The AAIHB is actively working to update subrecipient monitoring practices and anticipates having policies and procedures in place by the beginning of the next fiscal year. In addition, the GHWIC program has found our internal administrative assistance portal that was developed to optimize admin workflow has been helpful because it has also optimized the processing of subaward invoices. Furthermore, the GHWIC program is in the process of developing a sub awardees data portal for invoicing and reporting purposes to streamline the subaward process and ensure payment in a timely manner.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (Concerning Finding 2024-001) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Dana L. Gendreau, Interim County Administrator Corrective Action: The County of Aroostook acknowledges the procurement deficiency identified in Finding 2024-001. The County previously developed and formally adopted a Federal Grant Procurement Policy on February 18, 2026, establishing procedures compliant with 2 CFR 200.317–327 and Appendix II, including required procurement methods, documentation standards, and inclusion of applicable federal contract provisions. The finding is reported as a repeat finding of prior years; however, the policy establishing these controls was adopted subsequent to the period in which the procurement activity under review occurred or during early implementation of the policy. As a result, the condition identified reflects a lapse in the consistent application of newly established procedures rather than a deficiency in policy design. To address this, the County has strengthened internal controls by requiring completion of standardized procurement checklists for all federally funded purchases and implementing enhanced supervisory review of procurement files to ensure that contracts and required federal provisions are included prior to execution and reimbursement. Additional guidance has been provided to staff to reinforce compliance expectations and ensure consistent application of procurement procedures. The County will continue to monitor procurement activities to ensure full implementation of established controls and anticipates that this finding will be resolved upon demonstration of consistent compliance in the subsequent audit period. Anticipated Completion Date: February 18, 2026 (Implemented)

Recommendation We recommend that UVNR strengthen its payroll review and approval procedures by requiring that: - The final timesheet used to process payroll be reviewed and approved by the appropriate supervisor before payroll is submitted; - Approved timesheets be reconciled to the payroll register and retained with the payroll documentation; - Timesheet calculations and total hours be independently reviewed for math accuracy; - Version controls be implemented to clearly identify the final approved timesheet when corrected or revised timesheets are submitted; and - Payroll errors and discrepancies be documented and corrected promptly through a subsequent payroll. Management Response Corrective Action: The identified exceptions resulted from isolated administrative errors in the payroll review process and did not reflect intentional noncompliance. Specifically, one exception occurred because an updated Excel timesheet was used for payroll processing without obtaining the required supervisory approval or retaining documentation demonstrating approval of the final version. The second exception resulted from a clerical error in totaling hours on a timesheet. Management acknowledges that these errors indicate opportunities to strengthen payroll review, documentation, and reconciliation procedures. To address the finding, UVNR has implemented enhanced payroll controls designed to improve the accuracy, completeness, and documentation of payroll transactions charged to federal awards: • All payroll timesheets must receive documented supervisory approval before payroll is processed. Only the final approved version of the timesheet may be submitted for payroll processing. • Payroll staff will reconcile approved timesheets to the payroll register prior to payroll submission and retain the approved timesheets with the supporting payroll documentation. • An independent review of timesheet calculations and total hours will be performed before payroll is finalized to verify mathematical accuracy. • Version control procedures have been established to ensure that revised or corrected timesheets are clearly identified as the final approved version, with prior versions retained as appropriate for audit purposes. • Any payroll discrepancies identified after processing will be documented and corrected through the next available payroll cycle, with supporting documentation maintained for the adjustment. • In addition, management will provide refresher training to supervisors and payroll personnel regarding timesheet approval requirements, documentation retention, and payroll review procedures to promote consistent compliance with internal controls and federal grant requirements. Management expects these corrective actions to strengthen internal controls over payroll processing and prevent similar exceptions in the future.

Internal Control Over General Disbursements Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Recommendation: Implement a formal way to document the review and approval of transportation costs charged from Knox County to provide evidence that internal controls are effectively designed and implemented and functioning. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the finding regarding the need to formally document the review and approval of transportation costs charged by the Knox County Service Center (Garage). Action taken in response to finding: CAC’s vehicles are serviced at the Knox County Service Center (garage), with services billed monthly. Although transportation charges from the County were reviewed monthly, documentation of that review was not formally retained. Because the FY2023 and FY2024 audits were conducted concurrently, the enhanced documentation procedures implemented during FY2026 were not yet in operation during the FY2024 audit period. CAC implemented the following corrective actions: • Monthly review and approval of transportation charges by designated Finance personnel, including signature and date of review • Retention of supporting documentation with the monthly review to provide evidence of management approval Management will perform periodic review to ensure documentation controls are consistently applied. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Misty Goodwin, Chief Executive Officer, Anna Roeder, Chief Financial Officer. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Documentation procedures were implemented in February 2026 and remain operational with ongoing monitoring.
