U.S. Department of Health and Human Services U.S. Department of Treasury • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Low-Income Home Energy Assistance - Assistance Listing No. 93.568 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Condition: During our testing of performance and special reporting, we noted that the Organization did not maintain documentation evidencing review or approval of submitted reports. The reports tested did not include evidence demonstrating that an authorized individual reviewed and approved the performance and special reports prior to submission. Recommendation: The Organization should implement formal internal controls over performance and special reporting by establishing documented procedures that require review and approval of all reports prior to submission. Management should define clear roles and responsibilities for report preparation and independent review, ensure that reviews are performed by an authorized individual, and maintain documentation evidencing review and approval, such as signatures, dates, or electronic approvals, to support compliance with performance reporting requirements. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Organization will implement formal internal controls over performance and special reporting by developing and documenting standardized procedures for the preparation, review, and approval of all required federal performance and special reports. These procedures will clearly define roles and responsibilities for report preparation and independent review, including identification of authorized individuals responsible for final approval. Evidence of review and approval—including signatures, dates, or electronic approval records—will be retained in the grant file to support compliance with reporting requirements. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Dawn Godshall, Executive Director Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Planned completion date is June 30, 2026.

Management acknowledges the importance of ensuring that payroll costs charged to the program are consistent between the payroll system and the employee’s timesheet. The City continues to monitor its internal control process to ensure thorough review procedures are being followed. Timesheets are reviewed, bi-weekly, by payroll and adjusted to reflect actual hours as they relate to a specific activity. The City was able to hire a permanent accountant hiring who will provide additional oversight of these processes ensuring that hours worked are both reported correctly on the timesheets and are following the funding allocations that are approved by the grant.

Management agrees with the finding and has taken corrective action to ensure the timely completion and submission of the audit reporting package. With the implementation of Sage Intacct and the strengthening of internal accounting processes, Porchlight is now able to begin audit preparation earlier in the year. Regular monthly reconciliations and improved staff training have significantly reduced the number of adjustments required at year‐end. Financial statements will be prepared internally prior to the audit process, allowing management to review financial information earlier and provide complete information to the auditors in a timely manner. While certain reporting configurations within Sage Intacct continue to be refined, Porchlight is working with outside consultants experienced with the system to ensure reporting functionality operates effectively. Porchlight is also developing a formal year‐end close checklist and reporting calendar to ensure that all financial reporting tasks are completed on schedule and that audit preparation begins sufficiently in advance of reporting deadlines. The Finance Director, with oversight from the Executive Director, is responsible for monitoring audit timelines and, along with our auditors, ensure all deadlines for submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse are met. Staffing improvements and the engagement of external consultants have strengthened the organization’s capacity to complete the audit process in a timely manner. Management will continue to monitor internal timelines and reporting procedures to ensure future audit submissions are completed within required deadlines.

Root Cause Management concurs that federal expenditures totaling approximately $5,842,346 under ALN 21.029 were omitted from the initially prepared SEFA, along with an additional $206,139 of other federal programs, for a total of $6,048,485. Additionally, management discovered that $2,786,421 was omitted from the June 30, 2024 SEFA. The omission resulted from incomplete grant tracking reports not reconciled to the general ledger and grant agreements; absence of an independent secondary review; and procedures that did not fully capture pass-through and subrecipient activity. Objective Design and implement effective internal controls to ensure the SEFA is complete, accurate, and in compliance with 2 CFR §200.510(b) and §200.303; prevent recurrence of material omissions; and sustain readiness for Single Audit reporting. 1. Comprehensive Reconciliation Process Implement a standardized monthly and year-end reconciliation that ties federal award expenditures (including drawdowns and indirect costs) to the general ledger, award agreements/portals, and program manager reports. Create a SEFA Reconciliation Workbook with crosswalks by ALN, passthrough entity, award number, program, and period of performance. 2. Federal Awards Inventory & Certification Maintain a centralized Federal Awards Inventory listing all awards by ALN, award number, passthrough entity, and funding stream. Require annual certifications from responsible leadership team members confirming completeness and accuracy of reported expenditures and period-of-performance coverage. 3. Formal Review Workflow (Independent of Preparer) Establish a documented two-tier review: (1) VP of Finance prepares SEFA and reconciliation; (2) Leadership Team Members perform independent reviews using a SEFA Checklist covering ALNs, pass-throughs, subrecipient disclosures, notes (basis, indirect cost rate), and period-of-performance matching. Evidence the review via dated sign-offs. 4. Subrecipient & Pass-through Controls The VP of Finance create procedures to identify all pass-through and subrecipient transactions. Maintain subrecipient listings with amounts passed through and ensure required disclosures (ALN, pass-through numbers) are captured in SEFA. Reconcile subrecipient agreements and payment registers to SEFA. Leadership Team Members perform independent reviews for accuracy and completeness. 5. Close Calendar & Training Adopt an annual SEFA close calendar with milestones (pre-close, interim, final). Provide annual training for finance and program staff on Uniform Guidance reporting requirements and the SEFA Checklist; include updates to OMB Compliance Supplement as applicable. 6. Monitoring & Continuous Improvement Quarterly CAP monitoring by VP of Finance with status reports to the Finance Committee. Track metrics (e.g., % variance between GL and SEFA, number of checklist exceptions) and remediate promptly. Conduct a pre-audit SEFA "dry run" at least 60 days before year-end close. Roles & Responsibilities • VP of Finance: CAP owner; oversight, quarterly monitoring, reports to Finance Committee, designs reconciliation and review workflow; ensures adherence to checklist and certifications; prepares SEFA, reconciliation workbook, and supporting schedules. • Responsible Leadership Team Member/Program Managers: Certify award activity and completeness; provide supporting documentation. Timeline & Milestones Immediate (within 30 days): Approve CAP; establish Federal Awards Inventory template; draft SEFA Checklist; schedule training. Short term (within 60-90 days): Implement monthly reconciliation; obtain program certifications; pilot independent review on QI data. By next year-end close: Execute full close calendar; complete pre-audit SEFA dry run; document reviewer sign-offs; present monitoring results to Finance Committee. Compliance References • 2 CFR §200.510(h): SEFA preparation requirements (completeness, ALN, pass-through, etc.). • 2 CFR §200.303: Internal controls over federal awards. Management Statement (for 2 CFR §200.511(c) submission) Management agrees with the finding and has initiated the corrective actions described herein. The CAP will be monitored quarterly by the VP of Finance, with status updates provided to those charged with governance until all actions are fully implemented and operating effectively.

2024-006 – Reporting – Internal Control and Compliance over Reporting City’s Corrective Action Plan: This finding is related to COVID-19 funding that was administered during the height of the pandemic, when multiple funding sources were required to be expended simultaneously. Section 15011 reporting was a new requirement within the CARES Act of 2020, to the Department and the City at that time. By the time this issue was identified as an area of deficiency in the prior audit period, it was no longer possible to retroactively correct or report for that respective audit year, nor for the current audit period. In response to the prior audit report, the City evaluated options to centralize Section 15011 reporting, given that it falls under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) of 2006 and is closely tied to procurement activities of over $150,000. The City explored whether this reporting could be managed through the City’s Grant Manager position under the Administrative Services Department (ASD) The City accepts the finding of noncompliance with WIFIA reporting requirements, as the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the year ended June 30, 2024 was dated September 17, 2025, which exceeded the required 180-day submission deadline of December 27, 2024. The delay was due to challenges in completing the City-wide ACFR resulting from ongoing staff turnover. As a corrective action, the City will strengthen internal processes and oversight to ensure the ACFR is completed and submitted in a timely manner in future reporting periods. The City will implement enhanced internal controls to ensure timely, accurate, and complete submission of Quarterly Project and Expenditure (P&E) Reports for both SLFRF and ARPA Revenue Loss. Corrective actions include establishing a formal internal reporting calendar with assigned responsibilities to meet Treasury deadlines, performing a documented quarterly reconciliation of general ledger obligations and expenditures to P&E report amounts, correcting prior reporting errors or duplications, and requiring supervisory review and approval of all reports before submission to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Additionally, the City will develop standardized reporting templates, provide staff training on Treasury reporting requirements, and maintain oversight by the Finance Director to ensure ongoing compliance, accuracy, and timely reporting of all expenditures. Responsible Person: Grants Manager; Accounting Manager, CFO and Departments Administering Grants Expected Implementation Date: FY 2026

2024-005: Segregation of Duties (Significant Deficiency) Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Organization’s Executive Office Staff are responsible for the financial transactions and communicate frequently and dependably about transactions, receipts, and accounting issues. In this way, a segregation of duties is maximized given the small staff and limited ability of the Organization to expand staff. The Organization has two Office Assistant Managers. The first is the assistant to the CFO. This assistant is responsible for weekly payroll, reviewing client file completions after the first assistant reviews them, assisting with expense reports, and assisting with quarterly and yearly reports. She has Board of Directors approval to sign checks and approve bills on an as-needed basis in the event that other authorized signors are unavailable. This ensures that all checks and payments have dual signatures, as required. In the absence of the CFO or CEO, the checks and bills approved by the assistant are subsequently reviewed. She also is the supervisor of the second Office Assistant Manager. The second assistant is responsible for entering receipts/bills on a daily basis, printing, and balancing accounts payable and checks, and providing the first review of client file completions. This assistant has no check-signing or bill approval authority. She also has no access to payroll, journal entries, or bank information. The CEO also believes that distributing monthly financial reports to the Organization’s Board of Directors creates transparency that compensates for this deficiency in segregation of duties. Anticipated Completion Date - Ongoing, see corrective action plan above. Contact Person - Janelle Anderson, Chief Financial Officer
