Finding 2022-003 Condition: Internal controls over federal grants should be in place to provide reasonable assurance that misstatements in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards would be prevented or detected. Criteria: Non-federal entities 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 City 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 grants is low, and the risk of misstatement in the schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards is high. Auditor?s Recommendation: We recommend that the City work on written policies and procedures over grants and grant expenditures. Management Response: The City will work with their auditor to develop and adopt written grant procedures that are in accordance with the Uniform Guidance.

Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Blue & Co. 12800 N Meridian St, Ste 400 Carmel IN 46032 Audit period: 11/1/2021-10/31/2022 FEDERAL AWARD FINDINDS AND QUESTIONED COSTS 2022-001 ? Matching Requirements Condition: IH grant management system contained errors that led to the misaccumulation of matching dollars reported to the NEH. Recommendation: We recommend that controls surrounding the accumulation of grant information within the grant management system be established to provide accurate accumulation of matching dollars including monitoring of this information and follow up with grantees as necessary. Action Taken: We concur with the audit finding. Since this finding was first discussed in December 2022, we have taken the steps to resubmit the SF-425 for the impacted grant utilizing information from the properly reported and closed subawards. Subawards that have not yet provided a close-out report were excluded from this revised SF-425. Interim SF-425 reporting for January 31, 2023 included the match only from subawards that had been closed during the grant period - open awards were excluded. We are in the process of implementing a new grant database, which includes automated communication tools with grant recipients. One of the challenges that the grants management team has is consistently and timely communicating deadlines and expectations. By sending automated reminders ? triggered by specific events such as the end of a grant year, planned completion date of the project, etc., we can hopefully obtain more timely information from grant recipients. As well, the system will be able to trigger reports to staff of grantees who are delinquent in their reporting such that follow up can occur. If the National Endowment for the Humanities has questions regarding this plan, please call Keira Amstutz, IH President and CEO at 317-616-9379.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (?HUD?) Norwood Life Society respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2022. Audit period: January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS?FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS Department of Housing and Urban Development 2022-001 Mortgage Insurance_Nursing Homes, Intermediate Care Facilities, Board and Care Homes and Assisted Living Facilities ? Assistance Listing No. 14.129 Recommendation: We recommend that the Project work with their Regional HUD representative to discuss the unauthorized loan to result in either approval or a plan for resolution. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Rick Steffens, the CFO, will oversee this plan, and the plan has been implemented and fully resolved. The unauthorized loan was due to an increasing intercompany balance due from an affiliated nursing home (?Bethesda?) who was losing money and unable to reimburse Norwood Crossing for shared bills for items including benefits and insurance. Due to the size of the losses, we realized this issue was unable to be resolved without disposing of Bethesda and began working on selling Bethesda in the second quarter of 2022. Bethesda was supposed to close on the sale on November 30, 2022, which would have solved the intercompany issue during the 2022 audit year, which was our plan. However, the sale was continuously delayed due to numerous serious issues pushing the actual sale date all the way back to July 1, 2023. The audit finding for the unauthorized intercompany loan was for $1,724,731.69. However, the intercompany balance continued to grow in 2023 and had an additional $574,583.86 of expenses that built up in 2023 before the sale occurred. This made a grand total of $2,299,315.55 that needed to be repaid from Bethesda to Norwood Crossing for the unauthorized intercompany loans through the sale date. Bethesda worked to repay the intercompany loans the best it could during 2023 before the sale occurred, and completely paid down the remaining balance on the unauthorized intercompany loans shortly after the sale of Bethesda occurred. The following payments were made from Bethesda to Norwood Crossing: Payment Dates Payment Amounts 5/8/2023 $675,000.00 5/23/2023 $350,000.00 7/17/2023 $1,274,315.55 Total $2,299,315.55 These repayments above fully resolved the unauthorized intercompany loans that were 1) in the 2022 Audit as a finding, and 2) increases that occurred in 2023 after the 2022 year end. Furthermore, Bethesda has officially been sold as of July 1, 2023 and is no longer causing this issue to continue to occur going forward. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Rick Steffens Planned completion date for corrective action plan: July 17, 2023 If the Oversight Agency for Audit has questions regarding this plan, please call Rick Steffens at 773-577-5334.

Finding 2022-005: Cash Management and Reporting (Significant Deficiency) Information on the Federal Program: U.S. Department of State ALN 19.040 Criteria or Specific Requirement: 2 CFR Section 200.303 requires auditees to establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards 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. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in ?Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government? issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the ?Internal Control Integrated Framework?, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Condition: FCE did not maintain documentary evidence of the review and approval of either its requests for cash drawdowns or its performance reports in accordance with the internal control requirements. Cause: FCE's management team works collaboratively to prepare the requests for cash draw downs and prepare the performance reports prior to submission. Per discussion with management, the review and approval is performed verbally during this process. As a result, FCE was not able to provide adequate support to document the review and approval of either its requests for cash drawdowns or its performance reports. Effect or Potential Effect: FCE was not able to provide evidence of the implementation of internal controls related to review and approval for cash draw downs and performance reports. Therefore, these submissions may have been inaccurately prepared. Recommendation: FCE should retain documentary evidence of its review and approval process, which should occur prior to submission of the requests for cash draw downs and performance reports. Action Taken: FCE acknowledges the importance of documentation to support review and approval of cash drawdowns and performance reports. FCE will develop and implement formal accounting policies and procedures to ensure that it completes and maintains the proper documentation with respect to requests for an advance or reimbursement (Form SF-270) and filing a progress report (SF-PPR).

Finding 2022-002: Procurement Policy (Material Weakness) Information on the Federal Program: U.S. Department of State ALN 19.040 Criteria or Specific Requirement: 2 CFR Section 200.318 requires that the non-Federal entity must have and use documented procurement procedures, consistent with State, local, and tribal laws and regulations and the standards of this section, for the acquisition of property or services required under a Federal award or subaward. The non-Federal entity's documented procurement procedures must conform to the procurement standards identified in ?? 200.317 through 200.327. Condition: FCE does not have a formal written procurement policy that conforms to the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. As a result, no procurement files were maintained to document FCE's procurement actions. Cause: FCE has no accounting policies and procedures in place to provide guidance to management on the documentary evidence requirements in accordance with proper internal controls and the Uniform Guidance. Effect or Potential Effect: Without either a procurement policy or procurement documentation, there is a risk that FCE did not perform a proper evaluation of each potential vendor whose costs were charged to federal programs. Recommendation: FCE should develop accounting policies and procedures to provide guidance to management regarding the proper internal controls over both financial reporting and compliance with federal awards. Included in those policies and procedures should be a procurement policy that conforms to the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Furthermore, FCE should maintain documentation in its files to provide evidence to support that it followed the procurement policy. Action Taken: FCE acknowledges the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and the non-compliance implication for Federal awards. FCE is in the process of developing and implementing a procurement policy to ensure proper competitive procedures are followed with respect to its procurements, specifically its vendors. FCE will ensure that proper documentation is maintained in its files in accordance with the policy to be implemented.
