Annual Financial Reporting Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Fiscal Year: 2022 City’s Response: We concur. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: We have determined we cannot afford to hire additional staff that is required to properly prepare financial statements, disclosures, supplemental information, schedule of expenditures of federal awards and schedule of state financial assistance per generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. We feel that it makes more sense to work closely with our auditors to meet that criteria. Name of Responsible Person: Tracy Rau, Clerk/Treasurer Projected Implementation Date: Estimated, July 2024

Segregation of Duties Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management will continue to review processes to determine where improvements can be made. Our 2021 findings were not reported until mid-year 2022. As a part of Inspiration’s corrective action, we contracted with professional CPA firm, Butler CPA out of Kendallville, Indiana in August 2022. This has enhanced our efficiency, accuracy, and segregationof duties. The board of directors plays an active role in oversight of Inspiration Ministries Inc.’s ativities. The monthly board packets include but are not limited to reconciled financial statements such as profit and loss statement and balance sheet.

As part of the December 31, 2022 audit process and due to new funding received by Preventionfocus, it was discovered that management did not accurately track the expenditure of federal awards during the fiscal year. This resulted in management not being aware that it had expended federal awards of greater than $750,000, which would require a single audit, and the Agency was unable to timely submit a Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Recommendation: The auditors recommended that the Executive Director and Director of Administration develop policies and procedures to prepare and reconcile total federal expenditures to their general ledger annually to enable timely submission of the Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Action Taken: Management agrees with this recommendation. The Executive Director and Director of Administration are in the process of developing policies and procedures that will help to ensure timely and accurate tracking of federal expenditures on an annual basis. Victoria Simmons, Director of Administration, will assume responsibility for implementation by September 30, 2024.

Item 2022-001 – Eligibility: Eligibility for Individuals Federal Program – Healthy Start Initiative Assistance Listing Number – 93.926 Material Weakness Condition: The Council did not have internal controls established for an independent review that the participants accepted into the program met the qualifying criteria. Eligibility may be determined by the Council employees or by certain health care facilities. Corrective Action: The Healthy Start Program does monitor clients closely for eligibility according to their residential zip code (the primary criteria for eligibility.) and verified perinatal status. The Fatherhood Program, requires participants have a partner who participated in the Healthy Start program. Beginning October 1, 2022, the Program Coordinator for Healthy Start reviewed the eligibility documentation to verify status but did not sign documentation for this verification. The Healthy Start Program transitioned to another local non-profit October 31, 2023.

2022-004 Special Tests and Provisions – Selection from the Waiting List Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program – CFDA Number 14.871 Mainstream Vouchers – CFDA Number 14.879 Material Weakness in Internal Control and Material Noncompliance Condition: 13 out of 123 new admissions were tested. Exceptions were noted as follows: • 3 tenant file errors where the HAP contract was not signed by the Authority until after 120 days of the tenant’s move-in date, but was signed by the landlord within 120 days of the tenant’s move-in date (adoption of HUD COVID waiver). • 1 tenant file error where the tenant’s application date, time, and preference did not agree to the date, time, and preference recorded on the waiting list. The tenant should have been housed earlier based on the tenant’s application date, time, and preference. • 1 tenant file had the following errors: o The HAP was not signed by the Authority until after 120 days of the tenant’s move-in date, but was signed by the landlord within 120 days of the tenant’s move-in date (adoption of HUD COVID waiver). o The tenant’s application date and time did not agree to the date, time, on the waiting list. The tenant should have been housed earlier based on their application date, time, and preference. • A separate waiting list was maintained for tenant based mainstream vouchers in the same county or municipality covered by the regular Section 8 waiting list (the mainstream waiting list has currently been exhausted). The Authority’s administrative plan does not allow a separate waiting list for the mainstream vouchers. In addition, the separate tenant based mainstream voucher waiting list was ranked randomly by the Authority’s system through a lottery ranking technique. This is not in compliance with the Authority’s administrative plan, which states that the waiting list should be organized by preference point and then by date and time of application (first come first serve basis). Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies and ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures as outlined in the Authority’s Administrative plan. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Furthermore, the Authority should utilize an ongoing quality control review process to ensure proper procedures are being followed. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related staff absences and turnover, we were unable to provide an ongoing quality control review processes and provide ongoing staff training and timely management reviews. We are focused on implementing such procedures and will review staffing levels, skill sets, and case load for each employee.

2022-003 Eligibility – Tenant Files Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program – CFDA Number 14.871 Mainstream Vouchers – CFDA Number 14.879 Material Weakness in Internal Control and Material Noncompliance Repeat of Finding from March 31, 2021 (Finding 2021-003, Significant Deficiency) Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 1,775 tenants, 25 files were selected for testing, but testing was suspended after 24 files due to the number of errors. Exceptions were noted as follows: • 1 tenant file error where the Authority performed their rent reasonableness procedures on a 2-bedroom unit for a 1-bedroom unit, and the comparable rents did not appear reasonable. • 1 tenant file had the following errors and correcting the errors would decrease the HAP rent by $23: o 1 error for miscalculation of the tenant’s social security income o 1 error for miscalculation of the tenant’s medical expense. • 1 tenant file had the following errors: o Two members of the household did not check the box on the 214-affidavit form indicating their eligible immigration status, but based on their birth certificates, they have eligible immigration status. o Miscalculation of the tenant’s utility allowance amount. Correcting the utility allowance amount would not change the HAP rent. • 1 tenant file error where the utility allowance amount was calculated correctly but was reported incorrectly on the 50058 form. Correcting this error would not change the HAP rent. • 1 tenant file had the following errors: o The 50058 form reported the wrong number of bedrooms in the unit. o The tenant did not sign the lease agreement. • 1 tenant file error where the tenant’s utility allowance amount was calculated incorrectly. Correcting the utility allowance amount would not change the HAP rent. • 1 tenant file had the following errors & correcting the errors would decrease HAP rent $11: o Miscalculation of the tenant’s social security income o Miscalculation of the tenant’s medical expense. • 1 tenant file had the following errors and correcting the miscalculation of tenant’s income and utility allowance would decrease the HAP by $8.: o Miscalculation of the tenant’s supplemental security benefit o Miscalculation of the tenant’s utility allowance amount. o The tenant’s supplemental security benefit income was coded as social security income when it should have been coded as supplemental income on the 50058 form. o Missing 214-affidavit form for a member in the tenant’s household, but based on their birth certificate, they have eligible immigration status. o Member of the household, over the age of 18, did not sign and date the 9886 form. o The HAP contract was not signed and dated by the Authority. • 1 tenant file error due to a missing signed lead base paint form. • 1 tenant file had the following errors: o The 50058 form incorrectly reported the tenant’s monthly rent. Correcting this error increases the HAP rent by $8. o The lease agreement’s signature page is missing. • 1 tenant file error where the rent reasonableness procedure was performed one month after the tenant’s move-in date. The rent appears reasonable, but should have been performed before the tenant’s move-in date. • 1 tenant file had the following errors: o Missing HAP contract and lease agreement. o Missing rent reasonableness support. • 1 tenant file error for missing rent reasonableness support. • 1 tenant file had the following errors: o The utility allowance amount was calculated correctly but was reported incorrectly on the 50058 form. Correcting this error would not change the HAP rent. o The lease agreement’s signature page is missing. • 1 tenant file had the following errors: o Miscalculation of the tenant’s social security income. Correcting the miscalculation would decrease the HAP by $2. o Miscalculation of the tenant’s annual unreimbursed medical expense. Correcting the miscalculation would have no effect on the HAP rent. o The tenant’s name was reported incorrectly on the 50058 form. • 1 tenant file had the following errors: o A member of the household did not check the checkbox on the 214-form indicating their immigration status. However, based on the tenant’s birth certificate, the tenant has eligible immigration status. o A member of the household over the age of 18 didn’t sign and date the 9886 form. o General assistance was included as household income when it should have been excluded. Correcting this error would increase the HAP rent by $12. o Missing rent reasonableness support. o The landlord did not sign the lease agreement. • 1 tenant file had the following errors: o A member of the household did not check the checkbox on the 214-form indicating their immigration status. However, based on the tenant’s birth certificate, the tenant has eligible immigration status. o Missing support for total annual unreimbursed childcare costs. o Missing support for total annual unreimbursed medical expense. Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related staff absences and turnover, we were unable to provide an ongoing quality control review processes and provide ongoing staff training and timely management reviews. We are focused on implementing such procedures and will review staffing levels, skill sets, and case load for each employee.

Recommendation: The Authority should retain hard copies or electronic copies of HUD Form 52722, 52723, and the utility ledger for each fiscal year under audit. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related staff absences and turnover, we were not able to locate hard copies or electronic copies of HUD Form 52722, 52723, or the utility ledger. We will retain hard copies or electronic copies of HUD Form 52722, 52723, and the utility ledger for each fiscal year under audit.

2022-002 Reporting – Inaccurate and Late FDS Submission and Late OMB Data Collection Form Submission Public and Indian Housing Program – CFDA Number 14.850 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program – CFDA Number 14.871 Mainstream Vouchers – CFDA Number 14.879 Material Weakness in Internal Control and Material Noncompliance This is a repeat finding of 2021-002 from March 31, 2021 (initially occurred as Finding 2020-002 from March 31, 2020) Condition: The Authority’s original unaudited FDS filing did not include the Authority’s blended component unit. In addition, the unaudited FDS filings were not submitted within the timeframes specified by HUD. The Authority submitted the unaudited FDS filing on May 10, 2023 (the due date was May 30, 2022). The Authority was also required to submit the OMB Data Collection form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (“FAC”) by December 31, 2022 at completion of the single audit, but was not filed timely as the audit was completed on September 9, 2024. Recommendation: The Authority should make every effort to file its REAC submissions accurately and timely and submit the OMB Data Collection form timely. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related staff absences and turnover, we were not able to accurately close the books before the HUD specified unaudited FDS filing deadline and unable to timely file the OMB Data Collection Form. We are very focused on ensuring there is adequate staffing and sufficient processes in place in order to be able to close the books prior to submitting a materially accurate unaudited FDS submission for the following fiscal year as well as timely file the OMB Data Collection Form.

Finding 2022‐002: Eligibility‐(Material weakness in Compliance, Internal Control, and Service Provision within the APA (Assistance Program) Program) Effect: The Organization provided APA/R&P program funding to ineligible refugees and lawful permanent residents due to inadequate verification and inconsistent documentation practices. Auditor's Recommendation: The Organization should enhance its eligibility verification process to ensure that only enrolled refugees receive funding. Implementing regular training for staff and updating guidelines will help maintain accurate and complete documentation, ensuring compliance and maximizing the effectiveness of the APA/R&P program. Management Response: We agree with the recommendation and have also submitted the following response: Ensuring refugee eligibility as a sub-recipient of HIAS involves a comprehensive and diligent process. Staff are trained in verification and eligibility as required by the funder and follow an enhanced eligibility verification process. Screening is completed at the funder level to ensure refugee eligibility and program placement. Once approved, a referral is sent to the designated providers. Eligibility: The referral number designates the refugee to a program; even though the Funder system lists “None,” the referral is eligible. For the 7 in the sample, each refugee had a designated approved number from HIAS Verification: In the one exception where a refugee was a lawful permanent resident, JFSSV conducted its due diligence in the verification process and identified the client. This was immediately reported to the funder and rectified as required by the funder. Documentation: During the fiscal year 21/22, amidst the wrap-up of COVID-19, intake was conducted via telehealth processes, and verbal approval was accepted. Additionally, not all services required forms to be signed, such as “providing information on accessing legal permanent resident status, family reunification procedures, assisting school-age children.” These services were verbally discussed during the intake process and updated in the refugees' case notes in the funder system. JFSSV has provided Harshwal & Company LLP with detailed explanations on all samples and provided testing requirements with refugee backup during the audit. JFSSV ensures proper documentation and support as required by the grantor's requirements, and JFSSV adheres to all monitoring visits and grant program reviews To address the specific concerns raised regarding internal controls over compliance and eligibility verification, JFSSV will: Enhance the Eligibility Verification Process: JFSSV will continue to review and strengthen its eligibility verification process to ensure that only enrolled refugees receive funding. Regular Staff Training: JFSSV will ensure continuous training to ensure they are well-versed in the updated guidelines and best practices for eligibility verification and documentation required from the Funder. Improve Documentation Practices: JFSSV will continue best practices in validating eligibility determinations and related documentation to be complete, accurate, and current. This includes maintaining thorough records in the case note log within the Funder’s system.

Finding 2022-001: Material Weakness in internal controls over compliance for earmarking and material noncompliance for earmarking in the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program: Effect: The Organization may not have met earmarking requirements outlined in the underlying award agreements nor have controls to monitor that earmarking requirements were met effectively. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization implement a process to identify the value of direct assistance provided to each eligible refugee as recorded within the financial records. Further, we recommend that internal controls over compliance be implemented to monitor direct aid distribution and meet the earmarking requirements included within the grant terms. Management Response: We agree with the recommendation and have also submitted the following response. In accordance with the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) FY 2019 Reception & Placement (R&P) Cooperative Agreement, all affiliates are required to have written documents available for review evidencing the following: · R&P refugee per capita disbursement policy · How refugee per capita funds beyond the $975 minimum are spent (i.e., Flex Funds policy) · Pocket money disbursement policy · Structured training plan for new and existing staff · Policy on protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) · Grievance policy · Policy on cultural orientation (CO) delivery and assessment of refugee understanding · Implementation of accountability to affected populations (AAP) framework Jewish Family Services of Silicon Valley ( JFSSV) has adequate policies and procedures and follows the grantor's guidelines on per-capita earmark funds as stated by the Funder. JFSSV will continue to follow the funder-approved policies and procedures, which state the following: “Per capita funds can be paid by the affiliate directly to the third party, or the affiliate may reimburse U.S. ties or clients for purchases as long as receipts are provided evidencing that the purchases were for allowable material needs. If there are per capita funds remaining at the end of the R&P period and all possible material needs have been provided to the case, including paying rent and utilities forward, the affiliate may write a check to the client for the remainder of the funds. The affiliate must ensure that the situation has been thoroughly documented in the case note log and that the case has no outstanding material needs. This option should be considered an exception and used sparingly.” JFSSV makes every effort to provide the minimum amount to all referred clients as required by the funder. JFSSV meets with clients to provide the initial per capita funding and reviews program requirements for the next per capita funding. If the client follows the program, they are funded. Sometimes, clients leave the program or do not provide adequate documents to be funded, resulting in unspent per capita funds. When this occurs, JFSSV follows the Cooperative Agreement #12.9 Availability of Per Capita Funds: A written statement must be submitted on or before December 31, 20xx, as a Post Award Task through [website link] reporting the amount of per capita funds and accrued interest unexpended and available as of September 30, 20xx. This statement must confirm the amount of those funds expended and reported as a part of the quarterly financial reports for October 1, 20xx, through September 30, 20xx. Should the Recipient have any unexpended per capita funds as of the financial report due on March 31, 20xx, such funds must be returned to the Bureau no later than April 30, 20xx. In addition, JFSSV undergoes vigorous monitoring visits, monthly invoice reviews, and program/fiscal audits, which they pass. JFSSV has provided Harshwal & Company LLP with contracts, cooperative agreements, program guidelines, internal Funder-approved policies & procedures, and all testing requirements with client backup. To address the specific concerns raised regarding internal controls over compliance and earmarking requirements, JFSSV will continue to: Enhanced Monitoring Process: JFSSV will continue monitoring processes to track the value of direct assistance provided to each eligible refugee. Internal Controls Implementation: JFSSV will continue reviewing its internal controls to oversee direct aid distribution with the funder and ensure all requirements are met effectively. Documentation and Reporting: JFSSV will continue to review all disbursements to ensure they are thoroughly documented and reported. This will include maintaining receipts, case notes, and other relevant documentation to provide clear evidence of compliance with earmarking requirements.

Condition: The City did not have sufficient controls in place to ensure that the schedule of expenditures of federal awards was prepared correctly. Planned Corrective Action: The City hired a full-time Grants Manager in February 2024 to establish procedures to track grants that are awarded and expended at the City. A grant committee has been established with key personnel in the City that works with grants and monitoring spreadsheets have been developed to track pending grant applications and awarded grant activity. These tools will be further enhanced with key due dates to ensure that grants are applied for by the required deadlines and requests for reimbursement are completed in a timely manner. In addition, the City will research grant management software options to further enhance grant monitoring.

2022-001 Provider Relief Fund Reporting of Lost Revenue Corrective action planned: The District moved to a new EHR in the first quarter of 2021. The new system performs an automated allowance calculation; however, a manual distribution of the allowance is required to record the adjustment in the proper period. Unbilled receivables are not adjusted by the system; therefore, a manual journal entry is required to record the allowance. The District was not familiar with the system design and the distribution was not recorded in each month. A manual journal entry must be performed at the end of each month to distribute the allowance in the proper period. The District’s monthly closing procedures have been modified to record the allowance at the end of each month. Anticipated completion date: February 17, 2023 Contact person responsible for corrective action: Kim Manus, Chief Financial Officer
