Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution Federal Assistance Listing #93.498 Finding Summary: In some of the quarters for certain entities, it was noted that bad debt expenses were higher than revenues, creating a negative revenue for the quarter. As the HHS reporting portal would not allow negative amounts to be entered, a zero was entered into the HHS reporting portal. These negative amounts should have been offset to other quarters or other revenue line items, but were not, which resulted in higher revenue amounts being reported than the detailed reports supported for two locations for Period 3. Responsible Individuals: Kevin Abel, CEO and Brigid Burke, CFO Corrective Action Plan: The lost revenue calculation for these two locations will be re-evaluated and the amount of lost revenue reported on the HHS reporting portal will be updated in future periods.

Federal Program COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund (ALN 84.425 C, F, & M) Condition The College did not complete the required quarterly reports related to the HEERF funding. These quarterly reports are to be completed quarterly and be publicly available. Cause The College had significant turnover within the accounting office. The current staff cannot locate any quarterly reports for the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2023 and there is no evidence of the reports posted publicly. Recommendation We recommend that the College review and reconcile reports to the underlying accounting records including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards to ensure that the reports completed and finalized to reflect the activity occurred during the reporting period and properly post the reports for public review. The College should assign responsibility for completion of the reports and oversight and accountability for management review. Management Response We agree with the auditor's comments. The College will review and reconcile reports to reflect the activity during the reporting period and post the reports for public view.

ACCOUNTING FOR GRANTS - MATERIAL WEAKNESS Condition The grants accounts receivable account was not reconciled at year end to properly reflect grant activity. It was noted that grant funds drawn down from the G5 system in April, May, and June 2023 were not recorded in the general ledger. When the College made a journal entry to correct the missing deposits, a clearing account was used not the grants accounts receivable account where the entry should have been posted. Cause The College did not have a written year end closing process for grants or cash accounts. The lack of written procedures, the turnover within the grant accounting staff, and lack of proper oversight from management did not allow grants to be properly accounted for. Recommendation Proper accounting for grants is an integral function for the College. The timely and accurate reporting of expenses and the related cash receipts allows for proper grant management of available funds to be expended in the period of availability. The College should review the responsibilities of the staff within the accounting department to ensure that an individual is dedicated to maintaining accurate grant reconciliations and in contact with the various grant managers. The College also should ensure proper oversight is in place to oversee the grant reporting process. Management Response We agree with the auditor's comments. The College is reviewing standard operating procedures for all grant activity. Guidelines for ensuring proper accounting of grant funding, drawdowns, reconciliation, and entry into the general ledger are being reviewed. Procedures and training will be implemented by the end of the FY 2025.

Finding 2023-002 - Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Material Weakness) CFDA Title and Number 84.425 Education Stabilization Fund Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education CFDA Title and Number 10.555 National School Lunch Program cluster Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Compliance/Internal Control over Compliance: Auditee Responsibilities Criteria: CFR Part 200.508, CFR Part 200.510, Auditee Responsibilities state that the auditee must prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, which must list individual Federal awards by Federal Agency, including the total Federal awards expended, name of the pass-through entity, CFDA number, and total amount provided to subrecipients. The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards should be derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Condition: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was presented for audit with values that were not reconciled with the general ledger. Cause: The District relied on individuals with insufficient training or support to prepare the SEFA and ensure that it was reconciled with general ledger amounts. District management did not have sufficient training or monitoring policies to recognize and correct the deficiency. Effect or Potential Effect: Expenditures of federal awards and not be detected and corrected. Because the Auditee’s SEFA was completed incorrectly, and not reconciled to the general ledger the SEFA was materially misstated, prior to auditors’ correction recommendations. Questioned Cost: No Context: Lack of adequate controls over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and related accounting resulted in the following: • SEFA was originally presented for auditors with incorrect information. • No reconciliation between federal expenditures reported on the GL and the SEFA was presented. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs. Internal controls should be designed to prevent, detect, or correct errors in a timely manner by performing periodic reconciliations of the SEFA information to the general ledger throughout the fiscal year. The District should provide appropriate training to staff who are assigned to prepare and review the SEFA. District’s Response: The District acknowledges the deficiencies. Corrective Action Plan: The District will establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs.

Methow Street Wenatchee, WA 98801 (509) 663-7421 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: In 2023, CCWHA resumed its annual inspections of leased units, assigning a specific inspection month to each property. We acknowledge that, during this transition, certain units were not inspected within the expected annual timeline, as noted by the State Auditor's Office. This was primarily due to tenant refusals and necessary rescheduling. To address this, CCWHA has implemented the following corrective measures: 1.Revised Inspection Schedule: We have adopted a new system to ensure that inspections are completed in the month preceding the assigned inspection month from the prior year. 2.Ongoing Staff Training: Housing Authority staff responsible for inspections will continue to receive regular training to emphasize the importance of timely, comprehensive assessments. This training reinforces the need for compliance with federal Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the importance of maintaining accurate records. We fully understand the importance of adhering to HQS requirements to ensure a safe and healthy living environment for our tenants. We are committed to continuously improving our inspection processes and appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: Immediately

The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards should be derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Condition: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was not presented for audit. The City was unaware that funds borrowed through Business Oregon were federally sourced. Cause: The loan documents that were provided to the City were modified and date back several years. No individual, including those employed by the City, project managers engaged by the City, and pass-through managers were apparently aware that the loan proceeds were from federal sources. Consequently, no internal controls were designed or implemented regarding accounting for or preparation of the SEFA. The City did not provide a reconciliation of the expenditures of federal awards with amounts reported on the City’s general ledger. Effect or Potential Effect: Expenditures of federal awards and not be detected and corrected. Because the Auditee’s SEFA was completed incorrectly, and not reconciled to the general ledger the SEFA was materially misstated, prior to auditors’ correction recommendations. Questioned Cost: No Context: Lack of adequate controls over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and related accounting resulted in the following: • No SEFA was originally presented for auditors. • No reconciliation between federal expenditures reported on the GL and the SEFA was presented.
