BGCPR acknowledges that the delay in the preparation and submission of its audited financial statements was influenced by several interrelated factors, primarily stemming from the challenges associated with a transitional period and the unexpected resignation of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The absence of a key financial executive during this period significantly impacted on BGCPR’s ability to compile, review, and finalize the required financial documentation in accordance with established timelines. As a result, BGCPR was unable to meet the statutory deadlines for submitting the audited financial statements, including the data collection form and the complete reporting package, thereby resulting in non-compliance with applicable legal and regulatory reporting requirements. Recognizing the importance of timely and accurate financial reporting, BGCPR is committed to implementing corrective measures. These include the development and enforcement of a structured reporting calendar, the allocation of dedicated resources to support audit preparation, and the establishment of internal checkpoints to monitor progress. These actions are intended to ensure that future submissions are completed within the required deadlines, thereby restoring compliance and reinforcing BGCPR’s commitment to transparency and accountability. As a corrective measure, BGCPR will take the following actions: a. Developing and enforcing a structured reporting calendar; b. Allocating dedicated resources to support audit preparation; c. Establishing internal checkpoints to monitor progress and ensure accountability; d. Ensure future submissions meet the required deadlines.

Management acknowledges that personnel turnover during the audit period affected segregation of duties and continuity of financial and program oversight. Because the FY2024 audit was completed after the FY2025 fiscal year had ended, management did not have an opportunity to implement the prior-year corrective actions in time to affect the FY2025 audit period. FY2025 was the first fiscal year in several years in which both the Chief Financial Officer and Accounting Manager were in place during the fiscal year and audit process, improving continuity, institutional knowledge, and supervisory oversight. Since the audit period, the Organization has further strengthened its leadership structure by elevating the Director of Programs position to Vice President of Programs in September 2025 and the Accounting Manager position to Controller in June 2026. The Organization is also implementing Blackbaud Financial Edge in FY2027. These system improvements, combined with stabilized staffing, will strengthen segregation of duties and reduce reliance on manual compensating controls. Management is committed to maintaining appropriate staffing levels, cross-training team members, and clearly defining backup responsibilities to ensure continuity of financial operations and compliance with internal control standards. Actions Taken • Stabilized key fiscal leadership positions and maintained continuity throughout FY2025 and the audit process. • Strengthened supervisory review, cross-training, and backup coverage for key financial functions. • Elevated the Director of Programs position to Vice President of Programs in September 2025. • Elevated the Accounting Manager position to Controller in June 2026. • Initiated implementation of Blackbaud Financial Edge with enhanced approval workflows, role-based access, and audit trails; planned go-live for October 2026.
Finding 2025-001: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance and Scope Limitation Over Special Tests and Provisions (Special Tests and Provisions) Condition: The Authority was unable to provide sufficient documentation and system data necessary for us to perform required audit procedures ...
Finding 2025-001: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance and Scope Limitation Over Special Tests and Provisions (Special Tests and Provisions) Condition: The Authority was unable to provide sufficient documentation and system data necessary for us to perform required audit procedures over certain Special Tests and Provisions applicable to the Federal Family Education Loans (Lenders) Program, ALN 84.032L. Specifically, support was not available for seven of the ten Special Tests and Provisions selected or required for testing. Because the required documentation and system data were not available, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether the Authority complied with the Special Tests and Provisions compliance requirement for the FFEL Program for the year ended June 30, 2025, The Reporting compliance requirement was tested without exception. In conjunction with our FY2025 program audit, please see the Authority's corrective action plan below: Management acknowledges that sufficient documentation was not available to support all audit requirements and agrees with the recommendation. The circumstances described in this finding resulted from the transition of FFEL Program loan servicing to Higher Education Servicing Corporation (HESC) and the subsequent sale of the FFEL loan portfolio to Kentucky Higher Education Student Loan Corporation (KHESLC). Although OSLA transferred borrower-level history and transaction data to the new servicing system, access to the legacy system was discontinued, eliminating access to certain detailed records needed to support portions of the compliance testing. Because the Authority no longer owns or services the FFEL portfolio, the specific circumstances that led to this finding are not expected to recur. Nonetheless, management has implemented enhanced records management controls to help ensure the retention and accessibility of supporting documentation and to mitigate similar risks in the future. Expected completion date: March 31, 2026

Clinic management team acknowledges that from the audit selection made of 60 patients, 15 selections had findings. We agree with you that seven (7) of the 15 did not meet either, the six-month recertification requirements or had missing proof of income findings. We agree and are not contesting patient selection numbers: 25, 27, 31, 38, 52, 56 and 59. We will address this in our corrective action plan. Staff have completed the six-month recertifications and gathered the missing income data Four (4) of the findings related to certification data being collected and uploaded in the hospital EPIC electronic medical records but were not formally signed by a case manager. We are in partial compliance with the data requirements, but we needed to finalize and ensure that controls are in place, so the service provider must sign the note. We had situations where the provider passed away or left the Peter Ho clinic, due to relocation. Staff have since completed the notes and we have developed a report within our EMR to notify the service provider that the note requires signature. The four missing signatures by the service provider were patient selections: 9, 24, 29, 41. Four (4) of the findings related to not having the original HIV diagnosis confirmed on the patient not successfully migrated into the new electronic medical record, EPIC. For three of these patients, the staff could not find the original HIV diagnosis on the chart. The patients were treated properly, but the original data was not retained. This was caused by not all data being successfully migrated when Peter Ho updated its EMR during CY 2021. The Peter Ho Clinic switched from Centricity to EPIC during 2021. The selected patients have been treated at Peter Ho prior to CY 2021. We did provide other supporting documentation that the patient has HIV, but we could not find the original documentation. The four patient selections that fell into this category are: 19, 30, 34 and 39. The corrective action plan as developed for CY 2024 will be continued to be reinforced and followed. A few new bullets have been added below to further assist in meeting the compliance guidance. A detailed plan of correction is identified below: • Quality management process, where Clinic clients are called ahead of time to notify them of their recertification requirements. This process will remain in place. • Assistant Manager will implement an EPIC (EMR) precheck process for current assessments. All future assessments will have proof of diagnosis, proof of income, proof of ID, proof of address and proof of insurance on the template to include the dates in which those documents were collected. (new) • Data Analyst(s) generate a report of patients due for recertification 60 days in advance of the due date. The CCC-Lead will remain directly accountable to review the progress of re-certifications. Further monitoring by the Assistant Manager of the clinic will continue. • An EPIC (EMR) report of unsigned encounters will be generated biweekly and reviewed by staff for open encounters and notes to be signed. (new) • The CCC-Lead and the Assistant Manager will continue to monitor retention of income verification documentation to ensure compliance purposes. • Document scanners will be provided to individual Certified Case Counselors to alleviate late or missed filings, documents will be scanned directly into EMR at the time of capture. • The Clinic staff will continue follow up with the patients that were non-compliant during the prior year audit and asked for the missing information. The medical record will be updated with any new information received. • Chart review for all upcoming appointments will be performed to capture/locate missing diagnosis because of data transfer failure from old EMR. If diagnosis is missing, rapid testing to be performed by the Counseling and Testing Department at that time to continue current treatment.

Financial Statement Finds: Accounting Records Criteria: The accounts of the Authority should include all significant transactions in the period of benefit. Condition: During the audit, certain audit adjustments were required to record transactions in the period of benefit for the General Fund, Special Projects Fund, and EDF Fund. Effect: The financial records for the General Fund, Special Projects Fund, and EDF Fund did not reflect the financial activity in the period of benefit, which could result in a material misstatement of the financial statements. This is a repeat finding from a previous year – Finding 2024-001. Recommendation: The Authority should ensure that internal control procedures over financial reporting are sufficient to identify and record all transactions in the period of benefit. Management Response: The Authority has initiated additional levels of review in order to sufficiently identify and record all transactions in the period of benefit.

Finding Number: 2025-002 Condition Found: Through testing a statistically valid sample of 25 individual patient balances, we identified four instances in which the sliding fee discount applied was inconsistent with the Organization's policy. Specifically, in two instances, sliding fee adjustments were applied based on individual procedure codes rather than the date of service. In one additional instance, an incorrect sliding fee adjustment was applied to the patient's balance. Collectively, these three errors resulted in patients being charged $311 more than required under the Organization's sliding fee discount program. We also identified one patient who received a sliding fee discount without an active sliding fee application for the applicable date of service and was therefore not eligible for the discount. Individual(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Dean Correnti, CFO Planned Corrective Action: Sliding fee schedule is completed by the Dental Practice Manager on a case-by-case status. On a monthly basis, they are to be presented to the CFO for him to sign off on to verify all is correct. Any adjustments will be made quickly and correctly. The current policy for sliding fees has been updated, reviewed, and signed off by all parties involved. Anticipated Completion Date: Completed on March 1, 2026
RESPONSES FOR HSB-HOLDING FY25 PROGRAM-SPECIFIC AUDIT 2025-001: Data Collection Form Submission Criteria: Non-federal entities that expend $1,000,000 or more in federal funds are required to submit Form SF-SAC and the program-specific audit reporting package online utilizing the Internet Data Entry ...
RESPONSES FOR HSB-HOLDING FY25 PROGRAM-SPECIFIC AUDIT 2025-001: Data Collection Form Submission Criteria: Non-federal entities that expend $1,000,000 or more in federal funds are required to submit Form SF-SAC and the program-specific audit reporting package online utilizing the Internet Data Entry System (IDES). The package must be uploaded by the earlier of nine months after the close of the fiscal year or 30 days after the audit report is received by the entity consistent with 2 CFR 200.512. Condition: The organization failed to timely submit the audited schedule of expenditures of federal awards to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) database by the required due date related to the program-specific audit for fiscal year 2025. Cause: The organization's system of internal controls did not identify the need for a program specific audit which resulted in delay of the performance and finalization of the engagement. Effect: The organization's reporting package was not timely submitted to the FAC. Recommendation: We recommend management design and implement a system of internal controls whereby internal controls over compliance related to federal awards are understood, monitored, and implemented consistently throughout the fiscal year. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: St. Jude's Ranch for Children (the parent entity of HSB Holding Company) will conduct a comprehensive review of the flow of federal funds across affiliated entities to clearly identify which entities are direct recipients or subrecipients of awards to ensure proper identification of entities requiring a Single Audit. This includes documenting the source, amount, and purpose of federal funds received. Moving forward, this will be conducted upon execution of federal awards. SJRC will implement an internal review step in the year-end close process to evaluate whether a Single Audit is required based on federal expenditures. This will include a review of federal funding by entity and program. 2025-002: System of Internal Controls Over Compliance:Procurement, Suspension,and Debarment; U.S. Department of Treasury, Assis tance Listing #21.027, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, Passed Through St. Jude's Ranch for Children, Boulder City Campus Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.62(a)(3), the auditee must maintain a system of internal control over compliance to provide reasonable assurance that expenditures under federal award programs adhere to procurement standards as outlined in 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart D. Condition: The organization did not adhere to the procurementstandards as required under 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart D, and/or the written purchasing and procurement policy. Context: On July 15, 2022, the organization entered into a construction contract to construct a capital asset. Subsequently, on June 24, 2024, the organization was awarded funding through the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund to construct said capital asset. As the capital project construction contract was executed prior to the federal award being received, the organization did not adhere to the procurement standards as required under 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart D, and/or the written purchasing and procurementpolicy. These construction contracts finalized in October 2024 which is prior to the identification of the finding for internal control over procurement, suspension, and debarment on the Single Audit for the year ended June 30, 2024 and therefore remained an internal control deficiency for the year ended June 30, 2025. Effect: Lack of adherence to procurement standards as outlined in 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart D, could result in contractual liabilities incurred by the organization that are related to suspended, debarred, or otherwise unauthorized contractors. Cause: Upon receipt of the federal award intended to fund the capital project, the organization did not appropriately consider the potential remedial action(s) needed as related to adherence to 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart D. Recommendation: We recommend management design and implement a system of internal controls over compliance whereby procurement standards are adhered to for all expenditures requested for reimbursement under federal award programs. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The CFO, Accounting Manager and/or outsourced accountant will review all contracts involving federal funds prior to execution to verify adherence to 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart D. Given the unique nature of the contract in question being executed prior to the awarding of federal funds but subsequently using the federal funds to cover expenditures related to the contract, St. Jude's Ranch for Children (the parent entity of HSB Holding Company) does not anticipate a similar scenario in the future. However, SJRC will meet with legal counsel to review existing boilerplate contracts and incorporate a 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart D compliance clause for use in any contracts with the potential to be funded by federal awards. Training will be provided to SJRC finance and program staff, led by legal counsel, covering: (i) contract negotiation basics; (ii) federal clauses that are non-negotiable (e.g., 2 CFR 200 provisions); and (iii) when legal review is required.

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. Compensating controls are in place; however, this continues to be an ongoing finding. Recommendation-In our judgment, management 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 with 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.

Cause of Internal Control Issue: Transform 1012's grant reporting procedures included a verbal approval of reports and therefore, management approval could not be confirmed or reperformed. The effect of this is that bi-annual reporting was not fully documented in accordance with internal control procedures over compliance. Actions To Rectify Internal Control Issue: Management's Response: Carlos Gonzalez-Jaime, Executive Director, will ensure his written documentation of review and approval of all grant reports is kept on file by using electronic signature to indicate review and approval and storing signed copies of the documentation. • This will be completed by October 31, 2025, for 2025 reports through October 31, 2025. Going forward, signed documentation will be stored within seven days of the report being issued.

Finding 2025-002 Recommendation: We recommend controls be strengthened to ensure all donations are supported with verification of count, weight, product identification, and other inspection of the product as evidenced through signature of the person(s) receiving inventory items. This could be made through a checklist attached to the bill of lading and used with entering the items into the inventory system that includes verification was properly made and items properly set up in inventory. Corrective Action: A majority ofTEFAP orders arrive with a BOL that will have the USDA secondary 5000 PO number as well as a 4000 Customer sales number and many times a 2000 Solicitation number. These are requirements t he USDA has with the vendors supplying the items. We report both the 5000 and 4000 numbers to GA OHS/SC Dept of Ag upon receipt of the goods. If either or both numbers are missing from the BOL, we note that in t he receipt report sent to these agencies. These numbers, although unique to USDA product, are not the only designation we use for TEFAP loads. We can access the TEFAP Requisition Status Report that indicates items that we have ordered and the status such as approved and delivery period. By contract the vendors/delivery brokers are required to give us a 48-hour notice prior to delivery. Moving forward, we will attach the TEFAP report sent to the respective state agencies in the event that either the 4000 or 5000 number is not on the BOL to the required retention paperwork for audit purposes.

Finding # 2025-002: Type: Significant deficiency in internal controls over financial reporting Finding: Audit procedures identified certain year-end cutoff adjustments related to grant revenue and predevelopment costs. The adjustments related to timing differences identified during the year-end close process, including grant revenue earned in 2025 that was recorded when cash was received in 2026 and certain 2025 predevelopment costs that were not accrued at year-end. Corrective Action: Management will strengthen year-end accrual procedures, particularly for grant revenues and housing development activities, and will include review of significant subsequent receipts and disbursements to help ensure grant revenue and housing development activities are recorded in the proper period.

Finding # 2025-001: Type: Significant deficiency in internal controls over financial reporting Finding: Audit procedures identified a land acquisition financed through a promissory note that was not recorded when the transaction occurred. The matter related to a significant noncash real estate development transaction that was nonroutine and did not involve a typical cash disbursement through the normal accounts payable process. Corrective Action: Management implemented procedures to identify and evaluate significant nonroutine transactions. These include early communication with finance through regular meetings and pipeline and work-in-process updates, implemented in November 2025, and a monthly close procedure for nonrecurring transactions, implemented in August 2026.

Finding #2025-002- Material Adjustments Condition: Johnson Block and Company, Inc. proposed adjusting journal entries during the audit process. We deem these entries to be material in relation to the financial statements. Since the Village did not make these adjustments in its accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness exists in the Village’s internal controls. Criteria: Material adjusting journal entries not prepared by the Village before the audit are considered an internal control weakness. Cause: The Village does not have policies and procedures in place to ensure that all transactions are properly recorded on the general ledger prior to the audit. Effect: This means that the proper recording and reporting of financial information may not occur within a timely manner.

Finding #2025-001- Segregation of Duties Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the control areas reviewed. Criteria: Segregation of duties is an aspect of internal control intended to prevent or decrease opportunities of intentional and unintentional errors and fraud. Duties and responsibilities are properly segregated if no single individual either has control over all phases of a transaction or can both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities because of the lack of segregation of duties. Recommendation: We recommend that the Village consider the benefits of implementing additional policies and procedures to address key controls related to its significant transaction cycles as noted. Response: We agree with the finding but do not believe it is cost-effective to increase the office staff in an attempt to bring about a more effective segregation of duties.

Program: HOME Investment Partnerships Program Federal Financial Assistance Listing Number: 14.239 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Award Number and Year: M16-MC060227; M17-MC060227; M20-MC060227; M21-MC060227; M23- MC060227; M24-MC060227 Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions – HQS Enforcement Management’s Response: We concur. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: The City’s Housing Division are aware of HUD’s requirement to have written policies and procedures in place for each HUD formula grant funding source (CDBG & HOME), including environmental reviews, financial management, uniform relocation assistance, and lead paint abatement. The barriers to carrying out rental housing monitoring activities have largely been centered around: 1) lack of sufficient number of staff to perform all job tasks, including training and monitoring and, 2) insufficient training information and opportunities on the subject of rental housing monitoring, including how to properly calculate restricted rent amounts and tenant income. As part of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan implementation creation and adoption of Policies and Procedures to perform this work was identified. Name of Responsible Person: Director of Development Services – currently vacant Housing Program Supervisor - Kimberly Nutt Projected Implementation Date: The consultant assisting the City has prepared a Draft of the Policies and Procedures which are currently being reviewed. We anticipate final approval and implementation by end of January 2027.
