Reference Number: 2024-001- Timeliness of Financial Reporting (Material Weakness/Material Noncompliance) Name of Contact Person: Janet Franco, Principal Budget and Financial Analyst or Scott Williams, Director of Finance Corrective Action: The City acknowledges that the financial information and documentation, including the trial balance, was not prepared in a timely manner. This prevented the auditors from completing the audit, and the Single Audit, by March 31, 2025. The implementation of the new financial software system, which went live on July 1, 2023, necessitated almost all of the Finance Department’s staff hours to be allocated to ensuring the software system was accurate in its financial reporting. This allocation of resources prevented the City from producing timely financial information. The Finance Department also had the loss of key staff in the department that added difficulty in providing necessary items in a timely manner. The Finance Department has corrected all of the financial and reporting issues that arose in the Summer and Fall of 2024 and is also working on fully staffing the department to be able to complete reporting in timely manner. The Finance staff has reviewed and updated its procedures for closing the financial records for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and has already begun the process of closing the books for 2024-25. The City fully expects to file the financial audit in a timely manner for the 2024-25 fiscal year. Proposed Completion Date: Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2025.

Section III. Findings and Questioned Costs for Federal Awards Item 2024-001 Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 – Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass-through Entity: N/A Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions Questioned Costs: None Criteria 24 CFR 982.305(a) requires that grantees must inspect housing units at least biennially, and annually per their Housing Administrative Plan, to determine whether housing units meet Housing Quality Standards. 2 CFR 200 requires that internal control over compliance be established to provide reasonable assurance for compliance. Condition During our audit testing, we haphazardly selected a sample of 40 tenants to determine if the admission criteria were met. Of those 40 tenants, we identified 7 instances where an inspection was not conducted on an annual basis. Cause The City’s established procedures did not include sufficient controls to ensure that the criteria were met in accordance with policy and regulation before the housing assistance payments were authorized. Effect The City was not in compliance with these program requirements. Recommendation We recommend that management strengthen controls to ensure that housing assistance payments are not authorized before the required criteria are met. Ideally, this would include changes to the authorization process that prevent authorization from being made without the review having been completed. Management’s Response 131 Management acknowledges the audit finding related to Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance for 14.841 – Housing Voucher Cluster. We agree with the assessment and recognize the importance of addressing the underlying issue to enhance the organization's operations and internal controls. To resolve this issue, the City has already implemented staffing changes aimed at addressing this material weakness and better program management for housing These changes include the hiring of Terrence Hamilton. Terrence comes to the City with a strong background in housing and has already implemented structural changes to address housing division needs. Management is confident that the hiring of Terrence and the support for his actions have effectively remediated the material weakness and will help prevent similar issues in the future. We remain committed to maintaining strong internal controls and will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these changes regularly. Person responsible for corrective action: Terrence Hamilton Anticipated completion date: May 31, 2025

Department of Homeland Security Hazard Mitigation Grant-Assistance Listing No. 97.039 Recommendation: It was noted that improvements were observed compared to the previous year, however, we advise the County to maintain a review process to ensure quarterly reports are thoroughly examined before submission to FDEM. Additionally, monitoring procedures should be established to guarantee the proper submission of close-out reports. Implementing a technology solution could aid the grant manager in gathering the necessary reports for the grantor, facilitating easier oversight and monitoring of grant compliance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The County will further strengthen oversight of programmatic reporting by developing and implementing a system of monitoring procedures to guarantee that periodic reports contain the appropriate data, have an adequate review performed by the relative Division Director, and are submitted within the timeframe required by the funder. The proper submission of close-out reports will also be accomplished through the developed monitoring procedures. A grant management software will be purchased and implemented and become a foundational component of the County's grant management infrastructure, allowing for more effective oversight by the County grant manager and ensuring greater compliance with all applicable regulations. Additionally, the County will implement mandatory trainings focusing on 2 CFR Part 200, to ensure fiscal and project managers involved with grant projects are fully educated on uniform administrative requirements, including proper reporting and close-out procedures, cost principles, and audit requirements related to federal and pass-through awards. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Terri Saltzman, Grants and Community Investment Manager. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: September 30, 2025.

Finding Number: 2024-001 Management concurs with the finding. During FY2024, The Unity Council experienced significant transitions in its Finance/Accounting Department, including the sudden departure of the Controller and CFO. These changes resulted in delays to reconciliation and reporting processes. At the beginning of FY2025, an Interim Chief Operating Officer was retained, who assisted with the FY2024 audit preparation, and key account reconciliations are resuming on a monthly or quarterly basis. Human Resource consultants were retained to assess the department structure and provide a framework to attract and retain highly skilled finance staff. An Executive Recruitment firm was retained to assist with recruitment of the CFO and Controller roles, expected to be filled by Fall 2025. A detailed monthly close checklist and supervisory review process are being developed and will be implemented with new leadership. In FY2026, the organization expects to have completed monthly financial statements internally, with adequate internal controls and account reconciliation review procedures in place. The corrective actions are being led by the Interim CFO and will continue with the incoming permanent CFO and Controller.
