2022-001: Segregation of Duties Name of contact person: Stacey Holbrook, Executive Director Corrective Action: Duties and functions will be reviewed to determine where segregation needs to occur. The duties will be separated as much as possible and alternative controls will be implemented to compensate for lack of segregation. However, the risk of not segregating certain duties is not worth the additional costs. Nonfinancial employees will be trained and provide some assistance. Proposed completion date: The Board will implement the above procedure immediately.

2022-101 Lack of Internal Controls over the Application of the Sliding Fee Scale Condition: The Organization lacks consistently applied processes and procedures related to the application of the sliding fee scale. The Organization also lacks a clear review process related to the sliding fee scale to identify errors quickly to allow for corrections to be made in a timely manner. Corrective Action Planned: The Organization has hired a new Chief Financial Officer as well as additional supporting staff within the finance department. The Organization’s policies for the sliding fee scale were recently updated during fiscal year 2022, by management, based on findings during the monitoring by HRSA performed in 2022, but management will consider discussing potential improvements to their policy with the grantor to potentially update it to allow for certain exceptions. The Billing and Collections Policy will be updated to waive co-pays for students in the School-Based Program. The Billing Department will audit and implement periodic feedback & training sessions for the Operations Department for training and compliance for the Sliding Fee Discount Program. The Organization expects to have the corrective action implemented by May 1, 2025. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Joe Derry, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: May 1, 2025

Corrective Action Plan: In the time since the initial audit was due at the end of 2022, the organization experienced a substantial turnover in its senior administrative leadership team. I was engaged as the new Chief Executive Officer in November 2023, and have since hired a new General Manager, Director of Development, and worked closely with our accounting firm, who was engaged to replace the original CFO, after her retirement in 2022. Since this new team has assumed leadership, we have transitioned to new accounting and billing software platforms and developed or renewed policies and procedures that have improved monitoring, tracking, approval, and reporting procedures for all expenditures and revenues, across the organization. We have also upgraded to a cloud-based server/filesharing system and reorganized the filing and archival systems and procedures to ensure that files and documents are organized more clearly and more accessibly for key staff members, current and into the future. Anticipated Completion Date: Already implemented.

Recommendation We recommend that management enhance its internal control structure, including financial close and reporting, to ensure timely filing of future Single Audit reporting packages. Management Response Corrective Action: FNCH’s management agrees with the auditor’s recommendation. Due to the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Finance Department experienced significant staffing disruptions, resulting in an 80% turnover rate, which notably included the departure of the CFO. Additionally, COVID-19 incidents among staff members adversely impacted attendance, leading to frequent absences that ranged from one to two weeks. This created severe staffing shortages that hampered the department's operations. The pandemic's effect extended beyond immediate staffing, complicating the recruitment of new employees in a competitive job market. Consequently, the Finance Department faced considerable difficulties in meeting its audit and tax filing deadlines. FNCH will implement correction action steps to address the timely submission of audit reports and tax filings. The CFO will ensure audited financial statements are completed in a timely manner by implementing enhanced internal controls, including timely bank reconciliations, financial close, and reporting, to ensure timely filing of audit reports and tax filings. Due Date of Completion: September 30, 2025 Responsible Party(ies): CEO, CFO

CONDITION: During the calendar year 2022, the City did not utilize a formal general ledger system of accounting to track the financial activity (financial position and results of operations) for several ‘Funds’ held at the City. The activity of these funds is either 1) maintained in spreadsheet fashion similar to a checkbook used in personal finances, 2) recorded partially (expenses only with no revenue), or 3) not tracked at all. As these funds are not maintained using the City’s accounting software package, management does not have the ability to efficiently generate financial reports necessary to provide management with the proper fiscal oversight. This condition included the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. However, it should be noted that City personnel were able to prepare spreadsheets to document which expenditures were utilized to prepare the necessary quarterly reporting requirements to the Department of Treasury. This is a repeat finding (2021-002) from the prior year. CRITERIA: Prudent internal control procedures in the areas of general ledger management and financial reporting include maintaining a formal general ledger system of accounting to track the activity of all ‘Funds’ maintained by the City. In specific as it relates to federal programs, Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance requires that federal costs must be adequately documented which would include the maintaining of a formal general ledger system of accounting for all ‘Funds’ of the City. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: Management of the City will assess the current workload and expertise of the City’s business office personnel in an effort to determine a feasible timeframe to continue the process of creating a formal general ledger system of accounting for all City ‘Funds’ that are not already entered into the software accounting system. The timeframe for completion of this review will occur during the first nine months of calendar year 2025 with the intention of having the City be in full compliance with Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance which requires federal costs to be adequately documented which would include the maintaining of a formal general ledger system of accounting for all ‘Funds’ of the City.

CONDITION: During the calendar year 2022, the City did not record the necessary adjustments to the various ‘Fund’ general ledgers of the City to properly reconcile the balance sheet accounts, such as cash, receivables, payables, and payroll-related liabilities to the underlying supporting documentation available at the City (which includes reconciliations of cash prepared independently by City personnel but do not agree to amounts reported in the various general ledgers). This included ‘Funds” containing significant federal funding such as the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. CONDITION (Continued): As a result, the financial position and results of operations as shown throughout the calendar year were inaccurately stated. However, it should be noted that the Community Development Department of the City and other City personnel maintain separate financial reporting for these federal funds, independent of the aforementioned ‘Fund’ general ledgers sufficient to ascertain the revenues and expenditures of the federal programs. This is a repeat finding (2021-001) for the prior year. CRITERIA: Prudent internal control procedures in the areas of general ledger management and financial reporting include the reconciliation of all general ledger account balances to underlying supporting documentation monthly with independent oversight and approval as part of the process. In specific as it relates to federal programs, Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance requires that federal costs must be adequately documented which would include the applicable general ledgers of the City. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: Management of the City will review the recommended options as presented by the Audit Firm’s recommendation for feasibility considering current manpower, expertise, and budgetary constraints. In addition, the City plans to ensure that written procedures for all accounting functions are implemented, reviewed and updated as necessary with the objective of ensuring that all balance sheet account balances are supported by the underlying documentation available at the City. The timeframe for completion of this review will occur during the first nine months of calendar year 2025 with the intention of having the City be in full compliance with Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance which requires federal costs to be adequately documented which would include the applicable general ledgers of the City.

Contact person(s) responsible: Executive Director, Keri Moran-Kuhn Recommendation: We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that all required reporting is submitted in a timely manner and in accordance with CFR 200.512 deadlines.

Contact person(s) responsible: Associate Director, BB Beltran Recommendation: The Coalition should establish monitoring procedures to ensure that charges to federal awards and other funders are adequately documented and approved and comply with all established policies. Specifically, adequate documentation should include original itemized invoices or receipts, and clear documentation of review and approval. Management Response: NEW Corrective Action Plan: OCADSV implemented a third-party service for tracking the Coalitions costs by program in January of 2023. The submission, coding, approval and payment are processed within this software, which also allows for an audit trail of the processes performed by user and quick access to scanned original documentation. Quarterly budget expense reimbursements are prepared and submitted for review to the Associate Director and/or the Grants Manager. The monthly/quarterly reports are reviewed and approved, with general ledger support, before sending them to the funding agency as the quarterly invoice for reimbursements. Anticipated completion date: 09/30/24

Contact person(s) responsible: Accounting Manager, Nancy Wilson Recommendation: We recommend that Coalition develop controls and procedures to correctly allocate cost to all activities and funding sources that benefited from the costs. Management’s Response: Corrective action plan: OCADSV added an Administrative Cost Center to its General Ledger effective 10/01/22, the beginning of FY23 and began costing administrative payroll cost to that cost center. Additionally, the organization retrained administrative staff on direct cost allowable activities vs. administrative activities relative to timekeeping and timesheet preparation and the necessity of daily work descriptions supporting the hourly allocation. The Payroll policy that requires supervisors to review and sign off on timesheets and hourly allocations to cost centers was also reviewed. Audit costs for FY22 will be allocated in accordance with 2 CFR 200.405 requirements. Beginning with FY23 all accounting and other admin payroll related cost will be allocated to the administration cost center with the exception of time related to specific grant or other cost center. FY22 grant expenditures were reviewed post year-end and a line-by-line review was conducted to bring the direct and indirect expense cumulative total into compliance with audit findings. Any outstanding reports were adjusted to reflect the adjusted Life of grant to current date reporting. Executive, Financial and Grant Management staff will, during FY24, complete the Online Grants Financial management Training available at onlinefmt.training.ojp.gov to improve knowledge and compliance with 2 CFR 200 guidance and requirements. The said training will be incorporated into onboarding processes for any newly hired employee who have direct responsibilities related to grant management and/or reporting. Effective 6/21/23 and ongoing UPDATED Management’s Response: OCADSV is continuing its’ efforts to implement controls and procedures for directly or indirectly allocating costs to Programs based on the benefit of the cost. The updated policies and procedures manual was approved December 2024 by the board. Direct allocation is continued to be used when a specific budget program line for funding exists, or where Program(s) can be identified. For indirect cost allocation different allocation methods are used, depending on the cost type and only after the Program(s) where the costs benefited are identified. Processes implemented in FY24 and FY 25. Financial staff review grant expenditures line by line, using program budgets to actual provided by the accounting software as additional support, in preparing quarterly funding reimbursements for FY25. Anticipated completion date: 09/30/24

Condition: Due to the limited number of personnel within the Financial Aid Department, the director of financial aid is solely responsible for packaging, awarding, and disbursing to student accounts Federal Student Financial Aid (Title IV) as well as calculating return of Title IV funds for students who withdraw from the School to student accounts. The packaging of Title IV aid and the return of Title IV funds are complex calculations that are not formally reviewed by another employee. Planned Corrective Action: The Iliff School of Theology has contracted with a professional, third-party processing company to administer its student aid programs. This third-party processing company is structured to properly segregate financial processing and includes a quality review function. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Jason Warr, VP for Business, Controller Anticipated Completion Date: May 2024

2022-005 - Drafting Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and Related Notes Condition: Like other entities of similar size, the Village requires the assistance of the auditor to prepare the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. Criteria: Internal controls over preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards should be in place to provide reasonable assurance that a misstatement in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards would be prevented or detected. Cause: Management relies on the auditor to assist with the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Effect: The Village's system of internal control may not prevent, detect, or correct misstatements in the financial statements. Auditor's Recommendation: The auditor will continue to work with the Village, providing information and training when necessary, to make the Village's personnel more knowledgeable about its responsibility for the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Management's Response: The control deficiency has been discussed with management and they acknowledge their responsibility for the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. The Village accepts responsibility for the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Due to the technical nature of preparing the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and due to the limited resources, the Village does not anticipate the need for this assistance to change in the foreseeable future. Contact Person: Deanna Copsey Anticipated Completion: Not applicable

2022-004 Federal Grant Procedure Manual Condition: Internal controls over federal and state grants should be in place to provide reasonable assurance that misstatement in the schedules of expenditures of federal and State of Wisconsin awards would be prevented or detected. Criteria: Villages who receive federal or state grants or have grant programs should have documented policies and procedures in place over grants and grant expenditures. Cause: The Village does not have documented policies and procedures in place over grants and grant expenditures. Effect: Without documented policies and procedures, the internal control over federal and state grants is low, and the risk of misstatement in the schedules of expenditures offederal and State of Wisconsin awards is high. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that the Village adopts written policies and procedures over grants and grant expenditures. Grantee Response: The Village will work with their auditor to develop and adopt written grant procedures that are in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. Contact Person: Deanna Copsey Anticipated Completion: December 31, 2023
