The County acknowledges deficiencies related to the timeliness of federal reporting, including delays in the submission of required financial reports. Certain reports were not submitted within required timeframes due to challenges in obtaining timely and complete data, delays in completing reconciliations during and following the ERP transition, and the timing of required reporting templates provided by the grantor. The County is strengthening reporting procedures by improving coordination between departments, enhancing reconciliation processes, and reinforcing internal timelines for report preparation and review. As system functionality and staff familiarity continue to improve, reporting timeliness is expected to stabilize, with full resolution anticipated in the 2025 audit cycle.

Reference Number: 2023-04 Finding Type: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Description of Finding: During the audit, it was noted that the Organization was unable to provide formal support for the internal review of required reports under the major program before they were submitted to the pass-through grantor. The Organization lacks established procedures which provide formal evidence that the accuracy and completeness of required reports was verified before submission. Without formal review controls in place, the Organization is more susceptible to reporting errors and/or noncompliance with federal requirements. Statement of Concurrence: Management agrees with the finding. Corrective Action: The Chief Financial Officer prepares the required reports, and the Chief Executive has informally approved the reports prior to submission. A formal review by the Chief Executive Officer has been implemented to document in writing the review by the Chief Executive Office prior to submission.

Reference Number: 2023-02 Finding Type: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Description of Finding: During the audit, it was noted that the Organization was unable to provide formal support for the internal review of costs submitted to the pass-through grantor under the major program. The Organization lacks established procedures which provide formal evidence that the allowability, accuracy and completeness of transactions were verified before submission. Without adequate internal controls in place to ensure that all charges to the federal program are properly reviewed for allowability, the Organization faces increased risk of noncompliance with the allowability requirement and could request funds for unallowed costs. Statement of Concurrence: Management agrees with the finding. Corrective Action: Beginning July 2025, management implemented a formal review process in Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT for the Director of RISE and the Chief Operating Officer to review and approve all invoices prior to submission to the Chief Financial Officer to ensure all charges are allowed. All invoices $25,000 and over are also reviewed and approved by the Chief Executive Officer prior to submission to the Chief Financial Officer for payment. Prior to July 2025, written approvals were obtained through either email or initial sign-off on invoices.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FISCAL YEAR OF FINDING: June 30, 2023 AUDITOR FINDING: 2023-005 According to 2 CFR Part 200.403 factors affecting allowability of costs - costs must meet the following general criteria in order to be allowable under Federal awards: (a) be necessary and reasonable for the performance of the Federal award and be allocable thereto under these principles, (b) conform to any limitations or exclusions set forth in these principles or in the Federal award as to types or amount of cost items, (c) be consistent with policies and procedures that apply uniformly to both federally-financed and other activities of the non-Federal entity, (d) be accorded consistent treatment, (e) be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (f) to be included as a cost or used to meet cost sharing or matching requirements of any other federally-financed program in either the current or a prior period and (g) be adequately documented. In addition, according to 2 CFR Part 200.303, the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. The Organization did not maintain documentation to support that costs and reimbursement invoices had been approved in accordance with their internal control design. CLIENT PLANNED ACTION: To address the audit finding, we affirm that all reimbursement invoices and cost-related documentation are submitted to a Director-level staff member for review and approval prior to sending. All approved invoices and associated documentation are now stored in a centralized shared drive and onsite file cabinets accessible to relevant finance staff to ensure consistent retention and accessibility for audit and review purposes. These documents will also be accessible within the accounting information system, when organization switches to Sage, which is accessible to all parties that have approval responsibilities. CLIENT RESPONSIBLE PARTY: Cassie Kenney, Director of Accounting COMPLETION DATE: This process started as of June 30, 2024. Documents will be stored within Sage as soon as the switch to this software is effective (tentative July 1st, 2025).

The required homeless set-aside is monitored using department-level data. The same expenditure code is applied to both the mandatory parental involvement set-aside and any additional parental involvement funds. This allows the district to track the spend-down of the mandatory set-aside and determine how much must be carried over into the next grant year. Schools are expected to use the mandatory set-aside funds first, following a FIFO (first-in, first-out) approach, before accessing any parental involvement funds beyond the required amount. We are actively coordinating with the homeless liaison to ensure that fund balances remain current and transparent to all stakeholders. This collaboration supports more effective planning and helps ensure that the funds are spent down appropriately and on schedule. Correction Date 6/30/2025

Description of Corrective Action Plan: \ This program is completed and the period of performance is over therefore there is not a need to formally adopt any Corrective Action Plan. The Subrecipient Contractor that administered the program has agreed that this finding was due to their internal error in submitting administration invoices too late to be properly processed and approved by the County. They will be reimbursing the ERA1 fund for the error in the amount of $154,812.56 that will be sent back to the US Treasury. Reservation: The US Treasury required the local grant recipient to prosecute ERA1 fraud activities. There were two fraud cases that were prosecuted by our local attorney. His fees were then deducted from the ERA1 fund as administration costs. The grant recipient should not be penalized for doing as directed to prosecute fraud cases without being able to pay for the services rendered. We do not control the timelines of the local courts nor the responses/actions of the defendants delaying the actions beyond the Period of Performance.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action The Organization understands the criteria cited re: Title 2, Subtitle A Chapter II, Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the Uniform Guidance), §200.334, requiring “Financial records, supporting documents, statistical records, and all other non-Federal records must be retained for a period of three years from the date of submission of the final expenditure report…”, and recommendation made. However, because two programs are listed U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Organization will work with the auditors to: A. Better understand the findings (i.e., inconsistent document retention substantiating contractor performance of services) identified by the field work and expenditure and contractor testing, as it relates to which program, and which subrecipient contractor the findings relate to; B. Clarify the specific source and subcontractor awarding and payment criteria as noted in the Organization’s award and sub-award criteria, and subsequently reflected in the subcontractor contract(s); C. Analyze the findings to identify root causes and/or conditions in related contract monitoring processes that resulted in inconsistent document retention practices; and D. Address and implement corrective actions through identified needs (e.g., policy development and implementation, contract monitoring processes and procedures). The Organization will prioritize the above with the auditors as soon as possible, so the appropriate corrective actions can be addressed.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action The Organization concurred with the prior year (2022-004) and current year renumbered recommendation (2023-004), acknowledging that the unexpected resignation of the former independent auditor (January 2023), and the domino effect of a delay in securing a new independent auditor (April 2023) and related Organization and new auditor scheduling and staffing challenges, persists. The Organization notes the status and progress of the following single audits: • June 30, 2022, filed in the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in February 2025; • June 30, 2023, field work began March 2025, report draft issued February 2026 and scheduled for Board action; • June 30, 2024, field work began January 2026 and in progress; and • June 30, 2025, pending receipt of auditor engagement letter. The Organization notes the corrective actions that have been implemented, regarding internal controls to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance with respect to the submission deadline of single audit reports and the Data Collection Form: A. Internal Controls in Practice Since Inception of New Auditor Engagement – April 2023 As noted in the prior year corrective action response, the Organization established internal compliance controls related to the timely submission of single audit reports. Such process and review controls are implemented by the director of administrative operations, chief of staff (since December 2024), and chief executive officer; and subsequently communicated to the Board finance sub-committee and full Board, including the documented Board action(s) taken (e.g., Board agenda, minutes). B. Financial Policies and Procedures – May 2025. By May 2025, the Organization completed financial policies related to: implementation of significant accounting policies, internal control environment, cash and banking, cash disbursements and check issuance, payroll processes, procure to pay and revenue recognition policies, processes and procedures. Note the internal control policy of the Organization documents process and review controls, which were already in practice, applying to the timely filing of single audit reports. The current practices of the Organization, to the present period of the report dated March 2, 2026, is consistent with established process and review controls for timely submission of single audit reports.

Condition: During audit fieldwork, testing resulted in a restatement of fund balance related to the implementation of a new capital asset policy, implementation of GASB Statement No. 87, and the write-off of forgivable loan balances. Plan: The City and its Finance Department will continue implementing revised policies and new accounting standards, some of which may require retroactive restatements. The City will also continue to evaluate the appropriateness of receivable balances, including forgivable loans, prior to audit fieldwork. Anticipated Date of Completion: Fiscal Year 2024 Name of Contact Person: Eric Dubrowski, Finance Director Management Response: As part of its internal review of capital assets, the City implemented a revised capital asset policy. This policy significantly reduced the number of assets required to be tracked while retaining the vast majority of assets on the City’s books, resulting in improved compliance and increased administrative efficiency. The City reviews the implementation of new GASB pronouncements with its auditors in advance of each applicable reporting period. Forgivable loan balances previously corresponded to liens placed on properties and notes issued to borrowers. Upon reevaluation of the criteria required for forgiveness, the City concluded that these loans were highly likely to be forgiven. In the limited circumstance where forgiveness would not occur, such as a borrower ceasing operations, collection of the loan would also be unlikely. As a result, the City determined that these balances should be removed retroactively from the balance sheet, resulting in a restatement of fund balance.

Colfax County agreed to be the fiscal agent for a collaborative project involving several state and federal agencies within NM, CO, and KS along with private corporations including BNSF and AMTRAK. Colfax County did not have the staffing or cash flow necessary to facilitate such a large project. County Manager and Financial Specialist were not trained in Railroad project management. Changes in staff within the County Manager’s Office and private corporations as well as state and federal agencies resulted in change in requirements, poor communication, and delay in reporting ultimately resulting in disruption of reimbursement to the County. Colfax County worked with NM Department of Transportation and Federal Railroad Administration to collect project status information and submit all outstanding progress reports. To date Colfax County has been successful in maintaining open communication and receiving support from NMDOT and FRA. All reporting requirements are current and reimbursement has been issued to the County.

Finding 2023-008 – Eligibility – Material Weakness in Internal Controls over Compliance and Instance of Noncompliance Low-Income Home Energy Assistance ALN# 93.568 (Repeat 2022-015) US Department of Health and Human Services Passed through Oregon Housing and Community Services Federal Grant/Contract Number: 2302ORLIEA, 2202ORLIEA Grant period – 2022 & 2023 ORCCA is aware of lack of documentation and internal control during the audit period due to various reasons, mainly short staffing and staff turnover and has been working hard to prevent such occurrences. The Finance staff (Finance Director, Accounting Manager, Program Fiscal Compliance Coordinator) have already started communicating with program directors if any such issues are observed. The Energy program has been current on the required reporting since the referenced audit period. The program is aware of the grants’ requirements now. Additionally, ORCCA plans to utilize grant tracker system with the ability to send reminders for important dates to avoid future delinquent reporting that was experienced during the audit period. The system will be utilized by the program directors as well as finance team (Finance Director, Accounting Manager, Program Fiscal Compliance Coordinator) working with grants/directors. The estimated date of completion of this process is January 31, 2026. ORCCA’s current process at the Energy program level has already improved to ensure proper documentation of eligibility. The Energy program director and staff are implementing this internal control at the program level to review the supporting documents and information and proper coding to the correct period.
