FINDING 2024-002 Criteria: Recipients of federal awards must follow the costs principles set out at 2 CFR section 200.430 to substantiate compensation and other purchases charged to a federal program. “Charges to Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. These records must: …(iii) reasonable reflect the total activity for which the employee is compensated by the non-Federal entity” 2 CFR section 200.430(i). The Organization’s processes did not maintain sufficient documentation of the approval of the activity of each employee or the purchase of goods/services. Audit Recommendation: We recommend the Organization ensure it 1) maintains records of each employee’s activity and 2) monitors compliance with the job-costing system implemented. Auditee Response: Organization believes that prior leadership and lack of supervision allowed paychecks to be approved without the proper flow. FY24 Turnover was roughly 75% in leadership and 60% across the organization. Corrective Action Plan: UICSL moved away to Paycom early 2024 to better help account for Labor Allocation and Grant Codes. With Paycom, employees are automated to each program and there is a designated reporting function allowing us to review what is assigned. UICSL going into 2025 has better defined leadership and Directors for each division so there are clearly defined approvers and supervisors for each purchase and transaction – leadership turnover was high. Person Responsible: Som Chivukula, Finance Director; Matt Poss, Executive Director; Eva Leyer, Human Resources Manager Timeline: UICSL filled all leadership positions by mid-2025 and went through two organizational restructures, creating more mid-level management. This will help ensure compliance with FY25 Audit.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action The Organization concurred with the prior year (2023-004) and current year renumbered recommendation (2024-004), 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) continue to challenge the Organization, however, the Organization notes the status and progress of the following single audits: • June 30, 2022, filed in the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) in February 2025. • June 30, 2023, filed in the FAC in March 2026. • June 30, 2024, final review by Board in progress, projected filing in the FAC in June 2026. • June 30, 2025, engagement field work in progress with projected filing date no later than September 2026. • June 30, 2026, engagement letter signed with scheduled field work to commence after the June 30, 2025, audit FAC filing; projected to be completed with related FAC filing, no later than March 2027.

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 June 17, 2026 is consistent with established process and review controls for timely submission of single audit reports.

Federal Agency Name: Department of Agriculture Assistance Listing Number: 10.766 Program Name: Community Facilities Loans and Grants Finding Summary: The Hospital did not have an adequate internal control policy in place to ensure the proper disbursement and funding of the reserve account. Although management obtained a waiver for the noncompliance, the lack of adequate policies governing proper funding of reserve increases the risk that employees participating in the federal award administration may not be able to detect and correct noncompliance in a timely manner. Corrective Action Plan: Management will review and enhance internal control policies to ensure that there is proper funding of the reserve accounts. Responsible Individuals: Jody Nelson, CEO and Megan Peterson, CFO

FINDINGS - U.S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION, ALN# 11.307 SIGNFICANT DEFICIENCY Finding 2024-001 - Reporting: The U.S. Economic Development Administration ALN # 11 .307 require reports to the appropriate federal agency for revolving loan funds and grants. Response to Aydjt finding 2024-001: Background: The FY2024 Semi-Annual Revolving Loan Fund Financial Reports were not submitted within the required timeframe. Current accounting and RLF management were not responsible for report preparation during the reporting period and unable to verify the specific circumstances that resulted in the late submissions. The finding indicates that report controls and monitoring procedures in place at the time were not sufficient to ensure required deadlines were met primarily due to accounting and RLF staff turnover. Conclusion: Staffing turnover was mitigated in Fall 2025 allowing significant progress towards existing corrective action plan. Progress was as follows: • Developing updated and written procedures for RLF reporting. • Ensuring current key staff members and management have access to reporting instructions and supporting documentation. • Ensuring periodic management review of reporting deadlines and requirements.

Significant Deficiency Finding Number: 2024-003 Federal Award Finding and Questioned Costs Corrective Action Plan The City will evaluate their processes and procedures over internal controls to ensure that all employee rate changes and payroll registers are appropriately documented and maintained. While we maintain that oversight was in place, we concur with the finding and have identified the responsibility of the process to be placed on the finance department's fiscal assistants. The lack of documented review of the reporting process is noted, and procedures are now in place for documentation of the review and approval of the data as it is reported on portals as required. The Finance Officer will direct an accountant on staff or a professional consultant to complete the preparation of the reporting so that he/she can review and authorize the submission of reports. The implementation of upgraded software and strengthened internal control policies and procedures is a priority. Anticipated Completion Date September 30, 2026 Responsible Party The Finance Officer

NAME OF CONTACT: Terri Brown, Director of Finance CORRECTIVE ACTION: Management acknowledges the finding; however, it is important to clarify that the circumstances leading to the deficiency were significantly impacted by delated and unresponsive actions from the federal agency. Specifically, the Organization submitted required reports and sought timely guidance and approvals from the federal agency, but responses were not received within the federal deadlines. These delays were outside of the Organization’s control and directly affected the timely reconciliation and finalization of reported amounts. Notably, the federal government has acknowledged delayed reports and there were no findings in their FY24 audit. Management will continue to improve internal controls and documentation practices while also documenting all federal communications and follow-up efforts to document the impact of future federal delays.

The agency proactively enacted rigorous internal controls and systemic enhancements for FY25 to ensure optimal oversight and adherence to federal guidelines. Management has addressed this recommendation by deploying a strict, comprehensive expense request process to ensure robust internal controls over all Other Than Personal Services (OTPS) expenditures. To ensure full compliance with 2 CFR 200.303 and 200.403, Finance has deployed the following enhancements to our accounts payable workflows: • Strict Electronic Approval Workflow: Finance has established a stringent review and approval protocol that requires direct involvement from Program Directors and Department Heads. All OTPS expenditures are now routed through a formalized electronic workflow, which mandates documented review and secure electronic signatures from authorized leadership prior to any payment processing. • System-Integrated Documentation: The new process strictly requires that all supporting documentation-including invoices, receipts, and evidence of allowability-be provided upfront. These documents are now uploaded and attached directly to the specific transaction within the accounting program, creating a permanent, easily accessible, and audit-ready trail for every federal charge. • Targeted Training and Oversight: To support this modernized workflow, Finance is providing targeted training to all staff responsible for initiating and approving transactions, ensuring a clear understanding of Uniform Guidance requirements. Furthermore, Finance leadership conducts periodic supervisory reviews directly within the accounting system to verify that all electronic approvals are captured and source documents are properly attached.
