September 24, 2024 To whom it may concern: Sealaska Heritage Institute (SHI) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ending December 31, 2023. Our independent single federal audit was performed by Kendall, Prebola and Jones, LLC 133 Mann Street, PO Box 259, Bedford PA 15522. The following finding was discovered, and a corrective plan has been implemented: ALN Number 84.356A ALN Title Alaska Native Educational Programs Federal Award Years: 10/01/22 – 09/30/23 09/30/23 – 09/29/24 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Condition and Context: SHI is engaged in a construction project, and it is partially funded by federal funds. While SHI primarily oversees educational programs and their reporting requirements, SHI was aware that Federal prevailing wage requirements apply to construction projects funded with Federal monies, and had conveyed this to its prime contractor for the construction project. SHI concurs with the auditor finding that SHI did not have timely submittal and review of the certified payrolls as required. Upon late review of the certified payrolls furnished to SHI by the design-build contractor and its subcontractors employed on this project, SHI confirmed that all wages paid met or exceed the prevailing wage rates for Juneau, Alaska. In order to ensure timely tracking and compliance with Federal prevailing wage requirements for this project, SHI has committed to the following corrective action plan. Corrective Action: • SHI’s design-build (prime) contractor for this project has been informed that it must provide certified payrolls to SHI for all workers on this project employed by itself or its subcontractors with contracts valued at $2,000 or more within seven (7) days of the end of each weekly pay period. Contractor will provide these either by e-mailing them to SHI’s Project Manager and/or by posting them on Procore, the construction management application it uses and to which SHI’s Project Manager has access. • SHI’s Project Manager will log and review the certified payrolls weekly, comparing them against the prevailing wage rates indicated in General Decision Number AK20240001 or any preceding or superseding document, and will maintain a record of said payrolls. • Should any construction project happen in the future, SHI will ensure an experienced federal audit consultant provides proper training in the particulars of construction project compliance requirements to the Project Manager and Finance Staff before the start of the project. • Prior to the start of any future construction project, SHI will develop a reporting requirement calendar that is checked/implemented during the course of the project. Completion Dates: Grant Award Compliance Review.……………………………………….. 06/24 Development of Compliance corrective action…………………….. 07/24 Implementation of Compliance corrective action………………… 07/24 Project Manager review/training in reporting requirements.. 06/24 SHI, the COO, and their contracted financial firm have discussed the corrective action plan and are working cooperatively to ensure that all deadlines are met for construction compliance and reporting purposes.

Finding Number: 2023-002 Finding Title: Eligibility Program: Medical Assistance Program (AL No. 93.778) Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Quinn Jaeger, Director and Karen Syverson, Supervisor Corrective Action Planned: To address the findings from the recent audit, Clay County Social Services will take both immediate and long-term corrective actions. First, the case files identified with discrepancies will be revie.wed in detail, and necessary corrections will be made to ensure that the documentation in both the case files and the MAXIS system aligns with program requirements. Requests for case file numbers have already been submitted to the MA team lead to identify the cases needing correction. This will include reverification of asset amounts, we will match MAXIS's citizenship status with the appropriate documentation within the case file. In addition, one-on-one reviews will be conducted with the staff responsible for administering the affected cases. During these reviews, case-specific feedback will be provided, detailing the nature of the errors and explaining corrective actions to prevent recurrence. For long-term preventative measures, Clay County will implement a more comprehensive and mandatory training program for all staff involved in eligibility determination. This training will focus on key areas such as proper documentation for citizenship, asset verification, and data entry protocols to reduce human errors in MAXIS. We will continue conducting periodic case file audits with increased frequency to detect errors early and provide timely feedback to staff. Audit results will be shared with the entire team to promote learning from errors and reinforce best practices in documentation and data entry. Anticipated Completion Date: The cases found in error will be corrected by November 15, 2024. Case file reviews will continue monthly.

Segregation of Duties Condition/Context-Council staff have limited segregation of duties for all transactions of the entity. The Council's staff is not large enough to permit adequate segregation of duties. This lack of segregation of duties does not allow management to detect and correct a material misstatement if present. Due to the size of the Council's staff, it is anticipated that this will be an ongoing finding. Compensation controls are in place; however, this continues to be an ongoing finding. Recommendation-In our judgment, managment and those charged with governance need to understand the importance of this communication. However, due to the lack of resources available to management to correct this weakness, we recommend that management mitigate this weakness wiht possible compensating controls such as close supervision and monitoring by management and the Board of Directors. Corrective Action Planned- The Council of Community Services has a full-time bookkeeper with adequate experience, continues to have Board involvement, and actively seeks new Board members with financial expertise. We also have a board member who is a Certified Public Accountant that also sits on the Finance Committee of the Board. This additional oversight adds layers of supervision and monitoring which should allow any intentional fraud or unintentional errors to be prevented and detected and corrected in a timely manner. Contact-Mikel Scott, Executive Director Anticipated Completion Date-Due to the size of the staff, this is expected to be an ongoing finding, all compensating controls have been in place since 2015.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: This condition was primarily the result of a heavy reliance on external subject matter experts (SMEs) for technical aspects of programmatic workplan deliverables, as well as the use of single-sourcing selection carveouts in the interests of efficiency, that are provided for in the organization’s procurement policies & procedures. These instances of single sourcing nonetheless required additional levels of documentation and justification when in use, which was always not the case. Starting in August 2024, all program and compliance staff will be re-trained on federal procurement policy documentation and justification requirements. The Organization will also embark on concerted efforts to expand its pool of qualified and eligible SME vendors, to ensure more reliance on competitive bidding and minimize the future use single-source procurement. A comprehensive review of current Organizational policies and procedures will also be undertaken, to ensure that they are aligned and consistent with current federal procurement guidelines and requirements. Responsible Official: Peter Kiburi, Senior Director of Finance.
