Corrective Action Plan: The Utility Commission General Manager or Communications System Supervisor will review the quarterly progress reports prepared by someone else. Section II of the Project Status Report instructions states “Answer each question to the best of your ability.” The work orders do not include all costs related to labor benefits and taxes, and also the electronics and customer premise equipment associated with the projects. These costs are calculated and added in when the project is completed and is being closed out. Estimating these items for the quarterly Project Status Report is providing the project costs spent through the respective quarter to the best of our ability due to the limitations of the work order reporting process. Planned Completion Date for the Corrective Action: On-going Contact Persons Responsible for the Corrective Action Plan: The following Reedsburg Utility staff members are responsible for items outlined above in the Corrective Action Plan: • Brett Schuppner, Reedsburg Utility General Manager • Ken Las, Communications System Supervisor

2023-006 Internal Controls and Compliance over Special Tests and Provisions – Reasonable Rental Rates (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program 2023 Funding Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures to ensure that controls related to special tests and provisions – reasonable rental rates are consistently implemented including maintaining documentation of the verification of rental reasonableness in the program participant's file. Corrective Action: In response to the findings from the 2023 audit regarding the annual requirement for rent reasonableness, we developed the following action plan to ensure compliance with HUD regulations: 1. Annual Schedule: We established that annual rent reasonableness assessments for Temenos TCDC would be conducted each January, as required by HUD. This included comprehensive assessments for all scatter site properties. 2. Staff Reminders: A systematic reminder protocol was implemented for all staff involved in the rent reasonableness process. This included: 1. Calendar alerts 2. Email notifications 3. Regular team meetings to discuss timelines and responsibilities 3. Monitoring and Compliance: The Executive Director (ED) and Director of Operations closely monitored the compliance process to ensure assessments were completed accurately and on time. By implementing this action plan, Temenos TCDC aimed to address the 2023 audit findings effectively and ensure compliance with HUD's annual rent reasonableness requirements, including assessments for all TCDC site properties. Responsible Parties: Sandra Robicheaux – ED Ramona Edwards – Property Manager Wanda Williams – Case Manager Damita Gardner – Case Manager Terence Gomes – Case Manager Date to be Corrected: Implemented in January of 2025
2023-005 Compliance and Internal Controls over Program Income (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program 2023 Funding Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures to ensure that controls related to program income are c...
2023-005 Compliance and Internal Controls over Program Income (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program 2023 Funding Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures to ensure that controls related to program income are consistently implemented. In addition, documentation should be included in each participant's files to support income calculations and the participant's share of rent payable to the program. Corrective Action: We would like to clarify our approach to income documentation within client files: 1. Income Documentation: While not all clients have income, we will ensure that clients without income provide a zero-income affidavit (also known as a non-income affidavit) to document their status. 2. Stabilized Case Management: Our current case managers have been with Temenos CDC (TCDC) for over a year, providing stability and experience in verifying client income. 3. Policy and Procedure Updates: Recent updates to our policies and procedures have introduced standardized forms that clearly differentiate between households with income and those without. 1. Households with income will include the mandatory TCDC income calculation sheet. 2. Households without income will be required to submit the zero-income affidavit. 4. File Checklists: We have created file checklists to ensure uniformity across all client files, enhancing our documentation process. 5. Annual Audits: All client files will be audited by a supervisor at least once a year to ensure compliance with our policies. 6. HMIS Training: Case managers are required to complete mandatory HMIS training, which supports effective compliance in file management and income verification. These measures are designed to strengthen our documentation practices and ensure compliance with audit requirements. Responsible Parties: Sandra Robicheaux – ED Ramona Edwards – Property Manager Wanda Williams – Case Manager Damita Gardner – Case Manager Terence Gomes – Case Manager Date to be Corrected: Mandatory Training Implemented 01/2025 Updated Document Requirements 11/2025

2023-004 Compliance and Internal Controls over Earmarking (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program Contract No. TX0425L6E002106 Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures to ensure that controls related to earmarking are consistently implemented which should include reconciling the administrative costs to all drawn funds on individual grants. Corrective Action: In response to the findings from the 2023 audit, we are implementing several corrective actions to enhance our financial management processes, ensuring compliance and preventing future discrepancies. 1. Monthly Reporting: The Director of Operations is required to send monthly ELLOC (HUD account balances) reports to both Your Part Time Controller (YPTC) and the Executive Director (ED). This ensures transparent tracking of funds. 2. Expenditure Budgets: Monthly expenditure budgets have been established for each grant to maximize the use of grant funds and prevent shortages in administrative expenditures. 3. Regular Reviews: Balances are reviewed monthly in conjunction with drawdown preparations. YPTC will provide recommendations for any necessary adjustments to expenditures, which will be communicated to the ED during monthly drawdown closeouts. 4. Budget Adjustments: For the 2025 NOFO budgets, adjustments will be made to align with the grant history from the past three years. This historical analysis highlights areas of both funding shortages and overages, allowing for more accurate future budgeting. 5. HUD Notification: Notifications for adjustments to the 2024 NOFO will be sent to HUD to prevent the recurrence of findings in the upcoming 2024 audit. Through these measures, we aim to strengthen our financial oversight and ensure compliance with HUD requirements. Responsible Parties: Sandra Robicheaux – ED Madelyn Wages – Director of Operations Tyler Starkel - YPTC Date to be Corrected: 1. Implementation of drawdown process began 06/01/2024 2. HUD budget adjustment to be submitted by 01/31/2026

2023-003 Compliance and Internal Controls over Matching (Material Weakness) Internal Controls over Period of Performance and Earmarking (Material Weakness) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program 2023 Funding Recommendation: We recommend that part of the review process for payroll include verification that the cost charged to the grant does not exceed the grant hours reported on employee timesheet. Corrective Action: In response to the first finding, we have implemented a comprehensive payroll review process that addresses both the initial concern and the subsequent finding. The new payroll process that has been established will ensure that costs charged to the grant do not exceed the hours reported on employee timesheets, effectively eliminating both issues: Responsible Parties: Sandra Robicheaux – Executive Director Claudia Dixon – CFO Tyler Starkel - YPTC Date to be Corrected: Implementation for above changes went into effect 6/01/2024

Response to finding 2023-005 – Reporting Views of Responsible Officials: CSforALL management agrees with the conditions identified by SAX Advisory Group, including the noted causes and resulting effects under 2023-005. During the audit period, recordkeeping was not centrally maintained, and key documents were often stored under individual employee drives rather than within a shared, organization-controlled system. Due to the organizational pause at the end of 2024 and the transition period throughout 2025, the Organization had limited capacity to implement formal reporting controls; however, foundational corrective steps were initiated in 2025 to support full compliance during the 2026 operating year. Corrective Action taken in 2025: The Operations Manager conducted a full triage of existing accounts and transferred organizational documents into centralized CSforALL Drives. Files were reorganized by year and subject matter to ensure accessibility, consistency, and proper retention. This restructured system now provides a unified location for all grant-related documents, reporting records, and compliance materials, establishing a baseline for future Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Corrective Action Planned for 2026: Beginning in 2026, CSforALL will implement formalized policies and procedures to ensure records are maintained in accordance with applicable compliance requirements and that all Uniform Guidance reports are submitted timely. The Operations Manager and Accounting team will oversee ongoing documentation, retention, and periodic internal review to ensure the reporting structure remains organized, accessible, and compliant throughout the 2026 operating year and beyond.

Finding 2023-001 Name of Contact Person: Debra Hansen, Accounting Manager – Grants and Gifts Corrective Action Plan: In December 2022, changes were made to the MCHS lab ordering process and a new report was created to track employee COVID test results. This report reflected two rows of information for each individual employee tested. One for the test order and a second for the test result. Each row was counted and costed as two separate employee tests and therefore a portion of the cost for employee COVID tests was accidentally doubled and overstated in the portal for Period 5. However, although these expenses were overstated by $49,000, the grant was not overcharged as these questioned costs would be fully replaceable by an allowable amount of unused eligible lost revenues of approximately $109,516,000. Management will implement a procedure that requires a second level review of expenditures reported to ensure accuracy of reimbursement claimed for federal- and state-funded expenditures.Completion Date: September 30, 2024

Action Item Title 2023-003 – Federal Award Findings Status (Open: In-process) Condition Matching Non-Federal Funds The Corporation expended $523,590 from FEMA funds but did not meet the required cost-sharing amount of $52,359 from the Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds. On September 9, 2021, the Corporation signed a Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Non-Federal Match Program Agreement with the PRDOH, to comply with FEMA's matching requirement. The Corporation only requested a reimbursement of $4,224. Identified root cause The Corporation’s failure to request the full matching amount was due to inadequate monitoring and oversight of the matching requirement. The Corporation did not ensure that the necessary CDBG funds were allocated to meet the 10% cost-sharing requirement. Grantee resolution plan Matching Non-Federal Funds The Corporation’s CDBG Subrecipient Agreement does not currently support FEMA’s 10% local match requirement due to stricter federal compliance rules under HUD, which exceed FEMA’s. As a result, the Corporation contacted the Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction, and Resiliency (COR3), its pass-through entity, to request assistance in identifying alternative funding sources to fulfill the 10% matching requirement. We recognize the importance of complying with the matching requirements established by the federal regulations applicable to the program. We clarify that the funds used as "matching" come from eligible sources by the regulations of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and have been properly documented in our financial records. During the audited period, all necessary actions were taken to ensure that the matching funds met the requirements of eligibility, proportionality, and traceability. Nevertheless, we have considered the auditor’s comments and, as a corrective and proactive measure, we are strengthening our controls and documentation procedures to ensure full compliance with future audits. We appreciate the observation noted in the Single Audit report regarding compliance with the matching fund requirements for CDBG funds. We would like to clarify that our entity has complied with the applicable federal provisions regarding the contribution of equivalent funds, as established in 24 CFR Part 570 and the guidelines issued by HUD. Supporting documentation that validates compliance with the required match has been collected. It is available for review, including financial statements, reports of local contributions, and project records demonstrating the investment of non-federal resources applicable to the program. If there is any discrepancy in the interpretation regarding the source or eligibility of the matching funds presented, we are willing to clarify and provide additional evidence to support their use in accordance with the regulations. It should also be noted that the Corporation is periodically audited by the Housing Department, ensuring compliance with all relevant requirements. We remain committed to transparency and the rigorous fulfillment of all federal requirements. We appreciate the recommendations provided to continue strengthening our internal control and documentation processes. Completion date Pending assistance and resolution from COR3.

2023-001 REPORTING - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The auditee did not have any documented or implemented internal controls over the review of federal program reporting requirements. Reports were prepared and submitted without documentation of supervisory review or verification of accuracy and completeness. Management did not design or implement procedures to review reports prior to submission, relying solely on the preparer's knowledge without formal oversight. Recommendation We recommend that all grant reports are reviewed by a person independent of the preparer who has knowledge of the grant requirements. This review should include comparing the amounts reported to detailed support for accuracy. We also recommend the Authority review its recordkeeping procedures for documentation related to grant reporting. There should be a process in place to ensure all required documentation is maintained and filed in an orderly system that allows the Authority to locate and provide documentation when required. Management Response In general, management agrees with the finding. It should be noted that internal controls for supervisory review of reporting requirements were in place but were not written controls or processes. Reporting for the CDBG Program is accomplished through the preparation of the annual Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Repo11 CAPER). Written policies and procedures for the CAPER have been developed. Reporting for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program is accomplished through an online reporting system of the U.S. Treasury and by email to the Pennsylvania Human Services Department. Written policies and procedures have been developed.
