In its 2025 Compliance Report, auditors made the following finding: Finding 2025‐001: Reporting – Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and compliance finding. Criteria: Under this grant program, the Foundation is required to complete semi‐annual performance reports in the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system. Condition: During reporting testing, it was noted that the Foundation had not completed or submitted the required performance reports during the year. Cause: The Foundation didn’t implement an effective control for ensuring the required reporting under the grant was completed and submitted timely. Effect: Internal control was not properly designed to identify the required reporting and prevent noncompliance, and the Foundation was not in compliance with the reporting requirement. Recommendation: The Foundation should implement internal controls over the reporting process that ensures the required reporting is submitted in a timely manner. In addition, the Foundation should ensure grant agreements are reviewed in detail so no required reporting is overlooked. In response, Southern Gateway Public Green Foundation commits to the following Corrective Action Plan:  Remedy: In order to remedy this violation, staff will take immediate action to file missing semiannual reports in cooperation with general contractor.  Responsibility for Implementing Remedy: Reports will be filed by Anne Hagan, VP of Strategic Initiatives.  Verification of Remedy: Reports will be reviewed by April Allen, President and CEO, and filing of reports will also be confirmed by April Allen, President and CEO  Deadline for Remedy: As soon as possible but no later than 7/31/26.  Consequences in the event remedy is not undertaken: Failure to file reports could result in request for reimbursement of grant revenue.  Training to Prevent future violations: Reporting requirements and grant agreements will be reviewed by Anne Hagan.  Statement on Consequences of Repeated Violations: If future reports are late or missed, already reimbursed grant payments may have to be repaid and SGPGF may not be eligible for future grant payments.

Finding 2025-004 - Various Federal Programs: Cash Management- Excess Federal Cash, Untimely Reconciliations [Material Weakness}: Condition - At June 30, 2025, the College maintained excess federal cash balances across multiple federal programs, indicating that cash drawdowns and/or payable balances were not aligned with immediate cash needs for allowable program expenditures. These balances represented federal funds drawn or recorded as payable to federal agencies that were not supported by actual and immediate allowable program expenditures at year-end. The following table summarizes excess federal cash balances identified by program as of June 30, 2025: "Federal Program" "Excess Cash" "Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program" 120,031 "Science Consortium of Minority Schools" 169,907 "NSF - Empowerment of Undergraduate STEM Majors" 94,801 "NSF - Tennessee Louis Stokes TLSAMP" 54,834 "Title III" 455,679 "FUTURE" 188,215 "Total Identified Excess Cash" 1,083,467 The College did not adequately reconcile federal cash activity to underlying grant expenditures on a timely basis and did not ensure that drawdowns were limited to amounts necessary to meet immediate cash needs. In addition, the College lacked effective monitoring controls to identify and resolve excess cash positions across federal programs in a timely manner. Federal bank reconciliations were untimely and error prone. Corrections occurred only after auditor inquiry. Federal accounts also earned excess interest. Corrective Action Plan The College requests drawdowns for Title Ill and FUTURE programs on a reimbursable basis, including review and approval procedures. Of the total amount identified for the Title Ill program, a $181,433 receivable related to FY2025. The balance related to prior year(s) activity. The College will review its Federal program cost allocation procedures to ensure all eligible costs are properly identified and supported going forward. The College has engaged two accounting firms to assist with staff training and bring all reconciliations current. In addition, standard month-end and year-end closing procedures will be implemented to address timely, accurate Federal program reconciliations and audit readiness going forward. The College experienced significant staff turnover within its business office. In addition, the College is undergoing conversion to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system which affected its ability to complete some functions within a timely manner.

Management's Response and Planned Corrective Action: This finding relates primarily to the submission of annual grant reports SF-271 and SF-425, which are required by the FAA to be filed each year. The SF-271 (Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement) are used to report project expenditures and request reimbursement of federal funds. It shows how much of the grant has been spent (outlays) and how much reimbursement is being requested from the funding agency. SF-425 (Federal Financial Report) provides a comprehensive summary of the financial status of a grant, including total expenditures, federal funds used, recipient cost share (if applicable), and remaining balances, to ensure proper accountability and compliance with grant requirements. Although these reports were submitted after the established due dates, management maintained the reporting requirements as an active and ongoing priority. These reports were regularly discussed during monthly coordination meetings involving Airport staff and the FAA Airports District Office (ADO), as well as during weekly internal staff meetings. During these regular discussions with the FAA ADO, the Airport was not advised that it was out of compliance with reporting deadlines. Rather, the FAA consistently indicated that reports should be submitted as soon as practicable. The Airport remained aware of its reporting obligations and their importance, particularly in support of ongoing efforts to secure funding for the terminal expansion project. Notwithstanding the above, management acknowledges that formal tracking mechanisms and documented follow-up procedures can be strengthened to ensure earlier identification and resolution of incomplete or missing grant data. To address this, management will enhance internal controls over grant reporting to ensure timely and complete submissions. Improvements will include implementing calendar-based tracking tools and structured notification procedures, with reminders and follow-up communications beginning at the FAA fiscal year-end (September 30) and continuing through the reporting due date (December 31). Additionally, management will coordinate with the FAA and MDOT to secure reliable access to the FAA’s Delphi System, where the data necessary to complete these reports resides. Communication with both the FAA ADO and MDOT will be further strengthened during the critical period leading up to reporting deadlines to ensure that any missing or incomplete information is promptly identified and addressed. Regular internal discussions regarding grant reporting status will also continue to support timely resolution of outstanding items. Management believes these corrective actions will mitigate the risk of delayed or incomplete reporting and strengthen overall compliance with grant requirements. Responsible Party for Corrective Action: Mark Bishop, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: June 2026.

2025-003 ACTIVITES ALLOWED/ALLOWABLE COST PRINCIPLES Planned Corrective Action: This CMHSP will strengthen its grant financial management procedures. Finance staff will verify that all indirect cost calculations comply with the approved grant budget and the requirements of the federal award before indirect costs are charged to the grant. A grant expenditure tracking process will be established to monitor direct and indirect costs against the approved budget throughout the grant period. The Chief Financial Officer will review indirect cost calculations and budget-to-actual expenditures monthly to ensure expenditures remain within approved budget limitations and comply with applicable federal regulations and grant requirements. This CMHSP will create grant management policies and procedures, outside of the County of Lapeer’s grant management policy, to include documented reviews of indirect cost calculations, monthly budget monitoring, and supervisory approval of grant expenditures to ensure compliance with federal awards.

SEGREGATION OF ACCOUNTING FUNCTIONS Recommendation: The County should be aware of the inherent risks associated with improper segregation of accounting functions. The County should also develop mitigating controls to reduce the risk of errors or fraud associated with improper segregation of accounting functions. Action Taken: The County has assessed the benefits and costs associated with proper segregation of duties for all County departments and offices and has determined that cost would outweigh any benefits received. The County understands the inherent risks associated with improper segregation of accounting functions. Action has been taken to ensure timely deposits to the General Fund from the accounts held by individual departments, and County Management has communicated the need to be transparent regarding the transactions handled within these accounts. The County requires monthly reporting to the Board of Commissioners for various department officials to ensure transactions are recorded, and potential errors and irregularities are identified on a timely basis. The County will continue to review accounting procedures and processes to further mitigate this internal control deficiency whenever possible and feasible.

The Town agrees with this finding. We understand that while the total project budget was correct, $324, 641 for the Park St. Sewer Main, the project was accidentally listed as a current expense instead of a past expense. Corrective Action Plan: To fix this and make sure it does not happen again, the Town will take the following steps: Before sending any future reports to the federal government, the Finance Department will match the report numbers directly to the Town's official accounting records (the general ledger). A second person in the finance department will review and sign off on the report before it is submitted. We will save copies of the accounting records and the signed approval forms to show future auditors. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: September 1, 2026 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Town Accountant/ Finance Director

Finding 2025-001 Financial Close Process Condition: During the audit, it was noted that the Organization lacked a robust financial close and review process. This deficiency resulted in multiple material audit adjustments across key financial statement accounts, including inventory, net assets, revenues, deferred revenue, and related activity accounts. These adjustments were proposed by the auditors and subsequently recorded by management in order to fairly present the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The extent and materiality of the adjustments indicate that the Organization's existing closing procedures were insufficient to identify and correct errors prior to the audit. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: A Part-Time Accounting Manager was hired in October 2025 to assist with financial reporting and documentation. The Organization implemented a review and sign-off process for financial reports at board meetings. The Organization will develop a financial close calendar with clear deadlines. We will create a standard operating procedure for account reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting with assignments to specific staff.

Finding 2025-004 Inadequate System of Internal Controls over Benefit Limitation Condition: The Organization is required by the federal grant award to limit eligible client families to a maximum of eleven diapering supply "package" distributions per participating child over the course of the grant agreement period. While the program design includes efforts to control this requirement, the eligibility database lacks the capability to assign or track unique participant identifiers needed to reliably enforce this limit. Additionally, there is no documentation to demonstrate that processes related to benefit limits are periodically reviewed or monitored. Due to the nature of recordkeeping in this area, testing compliance is challenging. Although no instances of noncompliance were identified in the sample tested, the Organization has not implemented an adequate system of internal controls to ensure consistent compliance with this grant criterion. A new system was implemented in December 2025 which improved the deficiencies identified for the remainder of the year. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The new CRM, Pantry Soft will allow us to monitor and control benefit limitation. While not documented, the President and CEO did periodically review and monitor benefit eligibility and limits. We will begin documenting this procedure.

Finding 2025-003 Inadequate System of Internal Controls over Eligibility Determination Condition: The Organization uses a database to collect and store documentation related to eligibility determinations for program participants. While this tool was used consistently throughout the year, the audit identified a lack of documented review procedures to verify that eligibility criteria were appropriately assessed and that all required documentation was obtained and retained. There is no established process to review or confirm the completeness and accuracy of eligibility documentation within the database. A new system was implemented in December 2025 which improved the deficiencies identified for the remainder of the year. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: In September 2025, the Organization began its transition to Pantry Soft, a new CRM to centralize client records, eligibility documentation and service dates. This went live in December 2025. We included mandatory eligibility fields and document upload requirements before service can begin. We developed SOPs to include a standardized eligibility checklist to be completed for all new and returning participants. Staff were trained on Pantry Soft usage, eligibility requirements and document retention stands. The Executive Team performed spot checks on these records but will begin documenting this procedure.
