Professional and Cultural Exchange Programs - Citizen Exchanges - Assistance Listing No. 19.415 Recommendation: We recommend that the Foundation review its procurement and make necessary changes to comply with the criteria as set out in 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: American Institute For Foreign Study Foundation, Inc. does not agree with the finding. During a visit by representatives of BEGA the existing procurement policy was shared with those representatives. They approved of it and did not recommend any changes. However, a compliant policy that complies with CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326 will be developed.

We review each invoice monthly as they are submitted. Most of the review is insuring the items being invoiced are eligible under HUD and making sure the amounts are added correctly. We will review more closely the match submitted. Match for HUD is now reported based on the entire funding and not by individual grants. All match from all HUD programs is added together and submitted on one final report at the end of each funding year. The requirement is 25% on all budget lines except for Leasing. However, if one program’s match is short of the 25% requirement, the overall CoC is responsible for the filll match, so additional DHS admin costs are used to represent the additional match needed. For our FY23-24 annual report to HUD, we submitted 32.94% in match for the overall fimding. This amount did not include any additional HMIS (data system) costs, Allegheny Link (our coordinated entry system) costs or additional DHS admin costs. With these additional eligible activities, our matching amount could have been over 50%. Therefore, even if some identified items were considered ineligible our match would not be in jeopardy since we have a lot of eligible costs that DHS covers that would be considered match.

2024-002 PAYROLL POPULATION The Organization uses general ledger detail to create draws to submit reimbursement claims. Some reimbursements are for payroll expenses that are paid through a separate system. The Organization could not reconcile the general ledger to the payroll software detail used to submit reimbursements. Recommendation: The Organization should perform and maintain monthly reconciliations of the payroll software, general ledger, and draw detail that all agree. Action Taken: The Organization was billing the grantor for payroll fees, the additional fees for each employee or contract that participated in the grant. Originally, the funds were coded to payroll (compensation) expenses, which generated a discrepancy between the Payroll Register and the General Ledger. The unemployment expense was also coded to benefits, which created a variance between the payroll register (generated from payroll software) and the general ledger. Going forward, the trail balance and general ledger will be reconciled to the draw request. Additionally, the team has been trained in how to properly code these expenses. Contact Person: Shire Kuch Effective Date: 25 September 2025.

2024-005 – Reporting (Repeat Finding) Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. While the City performed the required Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds expenditure reporting for each quarter of 2024, the Project and Expenditure reports for the first three quarters of 2024 did not report any current period expenditures. Rather, the cumulative expenditures for the year were included in the fourth quarter Project and Expenditure report. In addition, the Project and Expenditure reports for the third and fourth quarters of 2024 were not filed within the required timeframe. As a result of this condition, the City did not comply completely with the reporting requirements of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds grant. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the City review the reporting requirements for each grant and complete all required reporting as required under the terms of the grant agreement. Corrective Action. City staff has accessed these reports and attempted to submit all required reports. Ongoing reports have been submitted on time. Assistance will be sought with federal agencies as necessary.

Finding Number: 2024-003 Finding Title: Eligibility - MAXIS Program: 93.778 Medical Assistance Program Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: John Stepien, Financial Assistance Supervisor Corrective Action Planned: •Citizenship verification continues to be an error prone area. As an automated system process, the majority of our cases successfully complete the interface with SSA to determine citizenship. Determining the root cause of these errors is not always simple, but some contributing factors are failed interface links between MAXIS and SSA. Citizenship details on the MEMI panel which isn’t part of the normal review workflow for recertifications as it holds “additional” member information that typically doesn’t change from year to year. Also, human error plays a role as this type of verification is typically requested at the time a case opens and normally doesn’t change throughout the life of the case. Despite reminders and manual reviews, cases are still being missed. System modernization would go a long way to mitigate these types of error. In addition to continuing the reminders for staff, and periodically checking cases for failed interface verifications, the financial assistance supervisor will request ad-hoc reports from DHS specifically for healthcare cases that have a missing citizenship verification field or coded as “N” for no verification on the MEMI panel in MAXIS. This report will be shared with staff to target cases with missing citizenship verifications. In addition, it has been determined that the use of SMI to verify citizenship has been approved, however this verification has not been added to the case file in some instances which results in an error finding. •Asset verification rules have changed over the past year and a half and although the previous CAP stated we would hold reviews of this policy during regular unit meetings, the financial assistance supervisor has only held one review. This area will be revisited using state training in Trainlink and staff will be reminded that any information reported on an application or renewal needs to be compared to the information recorded in MAXIS and conflicting information needs to be verified. In addition, the process of receiving verifications will be reviewed. Currently, verification documents must be accepted from the client by any means, including mail, fax, paper, or email. Email containing verifications may be sent to the primary Financial Assistance email (recommended) but also may be sent to the agency’s primary email or the primary worker’s personal work email (not recommend). This puts the responsibility of moving those verifications to the case file on several different people. This process may lead to verifications being received but not added to the case files. Best practices will be shared with staff. Anticipated Completion Date: Trainlink training was shared and reviewed at the next in person unit meeting, September 4th. Ad-Hoc reports will be requested for the next quarter, October 6th Reviewing receipt of verification procedures will occur over the next several months and modifications (if necessary) or best practices will be shared January 2026.

Finding Number: 2024-002 Finding Title: Eligibility - METS Program: 93.778 Medical Assistance Program Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: John Stepien, Financial Assistance Supervisor Corrective Action Planned: The Financial Assistance supervisor will run BOBI report MNCM 220A at least 2 times per month to identify outstanding verifications for MA cases in METS. This will identify specific cases missing SSN verifications. Anticipated Completion Date: The MNCM 220A reported is generated quarterly. The anticipated completion date is October 6th for the next quarterly report.

This serves as a response to your audit memo regarding Finding 2024-001 Allowable Costs - Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance in Section II - Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs. The organization concurs with the finding and has made corrective actions effective immediately to ensure the deficiency no longer occurs. Specifically, an active confirmation of billing amounts matching the general ledger from the CPA to the CEO has been added to our internal controls. Previously, the CPA only contacted the CEO if there was a need for correction. As stated in the audit report, this error occurred during the transition time between our contracted CPA and the new CFO beginning. Neither the CPA nor the CFO informed the CEO of the discrepancy between the billing and general ledger amounts, and therefore no correction was made or even looked for. This finding identified a flaw in our existing internal controls if the CPA does not complete the final validation process. Below are the internal control procedures for grant billing that were in place at the time of the error with the new addition in red: • All time sheets are forwarded to the CPA. • The CPA, or their designee, develops a payroll report utilizing the timesheets to allocate payroll by work function. • The payroll report is forwarded to the CEO for approval and billing purposes. • The detailed monthly billing is sent to the CPA for verification that the billing matches the general ledger. • The CPA will send an email to the CEO either confirming the amounts billed match the general ledger or identifying the need for a billing/general ledger correction. • Any discrepancies between billing and the general ledger are corrected via a corrected billing being submitted or a general ledger journal entry being made to reallocate costs. The organization is confident the above augmented internal control procedures will provide the necessary oversight and quality control measures needed to ensure the identified deficiency from recurring. The CEO is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with the revised internal control measures.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE Housing Authority of Asotin County January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 This schedule presents the corrective action the Housing Authority is planning to take for findings included in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2024-002 Finding caption:The Housing Authority did not have adequate internal controls and did not comply with Housing Quality Standards enforcement requirements of its Housing Voucher Cluster program. Name, address, and telephone number of Housing Authority contact person: KayLee Rosgen, Manager, Business and Finance 1212 Fair St., Clarkston, WA 99403 (509) 758-5751 ext. 4 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The Housing Authority does concur with the State Auditor’s Office finding that the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) requirements are to follow up with the landlord if any life-threatening deficiencies are identified during an inspection. The requirement states that “If a deficiency is life-threatening, the owner (landlord) must correct the deficiency within 24 hours of notification” (24 CFR 982.404(a)(3)). Although this finding was also included in the prior year’s audit, the Housing Authority acknowledges that the corrective action did not start until September 2024. When the Housing Authority was notified of this finding, a corrective action plan was immediately prepared and implemented. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) followed up on this finding in June 2025 and the Housing Authority provided the corrective action plan along with supporting documentation to HUD. On June 23, 2025, the Housing Authority received a letter from the HUD Seattle Field Office acknowledging that the Housing Authority had taken the appropriate actions to resolve the finding and avoid the same error in the future. Below is the Housing Authority’s corrective action plan that was implemented in September 2024: - Review HQS/NSPIRE standards with current staff assigned to performing and processing Section 8 inspections during a monthly meeting - Implemented internal controls that ensure life-threatening deficiencies are identified and all required notifications are made - Review of all parts of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and PIH Notices distributed by HUD monthly that pertain to HQS/NSPIRE inspection standards - All pertinent staff have taken the NSPIRE Inspection Standards training (all inspectors and Section 8 Occupancy Specialist) - Updated our process to include the use of a new inspection checklist that separately identifies life-threatening deficiencies, as well as using a new form to document attempts to contact the landlord and track the date that the deficiency was resolved The Housing Authority acknowledges that we lacked the appropriate internal controls prior to September 2024 to identify and notify the landlords of any life-threatening deficiencies that must be corrected within 24 hours. This corrective action plan has been in place since September 2024, and the Housing Authority feels that it is now fully in compliance with the applicable inspection requirements set forth by HUD and any relevant CFRs. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: September 2024
