Finding 2024-002 Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: Cathy Gorrell, Registrar Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2024 Corrective Action Plan: The Office of the Registrar recognizes the systematic programming of a pseudo academic program after a pseudo course has been added with a future date after the student’s current program has been inactivated or graduated. This process has been at the request of the Office of Student Accounts for the graduation fee. The Office of the Registrar will work with the Office of Student Accounts to move to the system Graduation Application process rather than the customized and manual process of pseudo courses. Further, the Office of the Registrar has increased its data quality checks on the pseudo programs and courses. In conjunction, this should eliminate the reporting of active programs when the student has graduated.

August 20, 2024 Department of Housing and Urban Development Washington DC East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended March 31, 2024. SSC CPAs, PA 3320 Clinton Parkway Court, Suite 120 Lawrence, KS 66047 Audit Period: Year ended March 31, 2024 The finding from March 31, 2024, schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS – MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS 2024-001 Compliance and Controls over Eligibility of the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program (Significant Deficiency) Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Program Name: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Award Period: March 31, 2024 Recommendation: The Board of Directors and management review the controls over the eligibility process to ensure the process is being followed and implemented correctly. Action Taken (Unaudited): ECKAN will create a policy in its Admin Plan, using any new HOTMA rules that may apply, to require zero-income forms in client files for households claiming zero-income. This Admin Plan edit will be presented to the ECKAN Board of Trustees for approval. Effective immediately (as of date of file inspection) ECKAN will use the Zero Income Verification Form for any new families claiming zero income. This had been a practice within the department but had not been formalized or provided oversight. ECKAN will also take steps to ensure current client files are searched for any families who claimed zero income prior and either locate the form or initiate contact with the family to obtain a completed form. A tracking spreadsheet will be created to ensure a complete list of zero-income households is maintained and monitored by the ECKAN housing staff. Anticipated completion date is March 31, 2025. If the Department of Housing and Urban Development has questions regarding this plan, please call Crystal Anderson at 785-242-7450. Sincerely yours, Crystal Anderson Crystal Anderson CEO East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation

Federal Program: Consolidated Health Centers Grant Assistance Listing No. 93.224 & 93.527 Recommendation: Our auditors recommended the Organization to review internal controls in regards to retaining the completed sliding fee applications in the patients record to support the sliding fee discount provided to the patient. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Organization is aware of the importance of properly applying the sliding fee scale to all eligible patients. We feel that we have strong policies and procedures to ensure this is performed accurately. However, the process is dependent on many individuals and is susceptible to human error. We will implement the following process to mitigate this risk. We will increase our internal audit procedures to audit sliding fee applications on a more frequent basis for any Enrollment Specialist who fails to maintain a 5% error rate. We will increase the number of Sliding Fee Discount applications to 5 every month. We will also conduct a retraining with the team to ensure all documents are uploaded into the document management system correctly for each patient. If the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has questions regarding this plan, please call Brian Johnston, CFO at 303-665-3036.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Organization recognizes the deficiency of internal controls regarding determination, recording, and monitoring of the sliding fee process from application through adjustment.

Incomplete Documentation – Material Weakness Condition: During testing of the Center's activities, one (1) of the nine (9) disbursements selected for testing did not have an application checklist that was reviewed and approved prior to awarding and disbursement of funds. Corrective Action Planned: The Center will implement a standardized pre-disbursement checklist for all award applications, requiring that the checklist be fully completed, reviewed, and signed by an authorized reviewer before any funds are awarded or disbursed. No disbursement will be processed without a completed checklist on file. This step will be incorporated into the Center's written internal control procedures.

Segregation of Duties – Material Weakness Condition: The responsibility for performance of certain accounting duties, principally as related to review and approval of the award application and eligibility criteria, was vested in a limited number of employees wherein there was also a familial relationship amongst individuals overseeing the program, such that there was an overall lack of segregation of duties. Corrective Action Planned: Effective August 1, 2026, Covation Center completed a planned leadership transition: the Center's founder, who was previously involved in program oversight alongside a family member, has fully departed the organization and holds no ongoing role, formal or advisory, in the review or approval of CDBG program awards. Going forward, review and approval of grant applications and eligibility determinations will require sign-off from at least two unrelated individuals, with the Board of Directors (or a designated Board committee) providing independent oversight of program activity. The Center will formally document this approval workflow as part of its written program procedures (see response to Finding 2023-003). Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Stephanie Desaulniers, Executive Director; Covation Center Board of Directors Anticipated Completion Date: Implemented August 1, 2026; formal documentation of the workflow to be completed by December 31, 2026.

Finding Reference: 2023-001 Description of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance. Identification of the Federal Program: U.S. Department of the Treasury CFDA 20.019 Criteria or Specific Requirement: Recipients of federal awards must establish internal controls over reports that are prepared and submitted. Finding/Condition: Pursuant to the reporting requirement set forth by the Department of the Treasury, the Organization is required to submit the single audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within 30 days of the issuance of the audit report or nine months after the end of the Organization’s fiscal year. During our reporting period we noted that the audit was not completed and filed timely. Cause: The Organization met the requirements for a single audit for the first time during the year ended December 31, 2023. Due to a lack of expertise in federal grant reporting requirements, the Organization overlooked the requirement to perform a single audit and file with the clearinghouse in a timely manner Corrective Action: In June 2025, Monterey County Business Council employed a CFO Consultant with 30+ years’ experience in finance and accounting who has performed a deep dive into the accounting framework. The Consultant has been engaged to assist the Organization in completing financial and single audits for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024. It is expected that the Organization will be caught up with federal clearinghouse filings by the end of 2025 or early 2026 at the latest. Under the consultant’s guidance, the Organization has made progress in financial reporting and will be filing the 2023 audit by September 30, 2026. Audits for subsequent years will be audited thereafter. Name of Responsible Person: Chris Steinbruner, CPA Questioned Cost: None Chris Steinbruner, CPA MCBC Board Member (831)-222-6111
