H. Period of Performance Timely Payment of Financial Obligations Assistance Listing 93.959: Block Grants for Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Federal Agency: Department of Health and Human Services Recommendation: As the grant period has ended, we recommend that the Corporation works with the funding agency to remedy the period of performance noncompliance. In addition, we recommend that the Corporation reassess the design of its period of performance controls to identify where enhancement or additional controls are needed over liquidation of financial obligations subsequent to the end of a grant award. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the finding and recommendation. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Corporation went live on its new ERP system in April 2024. Since go-live, management has continued to optimize the system and find ways to strengthen our internal controls, including automating certain processes. Management will continue to educate all grant managers on (1) the reporting capabilities within the system that can be utilized in the execution of monitoring payment status on individual invoices that have been submitted to granting agencies for reimbursement, and (2) the requirement to use their grant specific general ledger coding when orders are placed with vendors that are set up under the Corporation’s group purchasing process. For the specific vendor noted in Finding 2024-003, a grant number input field has been added to the group purchasing orders to allow for enhanced tracking and review of expenditures associated with grants and the monitoring of payment of those expenditures. The use of the accurate grant general ledger coding by grant managers when orders are placed will reduce the time between placement of order and payment of the invoice. The grant manager responsible for oversight of BHSB grants will work with BHSB to remedy the period of performance noncompliance noted in Finding 2024-003.

U.S. Department of Treasury • Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Condition: During audit testing of financial reporting for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program, the Organization was unable to locate three of ten financial reports requested for review. As a result, auditors were unable to verify the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the reported financial information for those reporting periods. Recommendation: The Organization should strengthen internal controls over financial reporting and record retention by establishing clear procedures to ensure that all required reports are accurately prepared, timely submitted, and retained in accordance with federal requirements. Management should designate responsible personnel and implement monitoring procedures to verify compliance with reporting and documentation standards. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Organization will require that all supporting documentation related to financial reporting—including reports, source data, approvals, and correspondence—be retained electronically within Sage Intacct using standardized attachment and naming conventions.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services • Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Community Service Block Grant – Assistance Listing No. 93.569 Condition: During our testing, we noted there were several salary expenditures charged to the grant based on the payroll period ending date, however the costs were incurred for the period 12/23/23 - 1/5/24, which the first nine days were prior to the start of the period of performance. Recommendation: The Organization should work with the federal agency to provide additional documentation or justification for the expenses, or to adjust the budget or funding limits to ensure that all expenses are within the approved period of performance. It is important to address any period of performance findings as soon as possible to avoid potential penalties or repayment obligations. The Organization should also review its process of entering invoices and payroll related expenses into the accounting software to ensure the correct period is used for federal expenditures. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Organization will strengthen internal controls over the recording of grant-related invoices and payroll expenditures by requiring expenses to be recorded based on the actual date services are incurred rather than invoice date or payroll period end date. Finance staff will be retrained on period-of-performance requirements for federal programs, and a secondary review will be implemented for all federal grant postings to verify proper timing prior to submission for reimbursement or drawdown.

Management agrees with the finding and has implemented corrective actions to improve documentation, grant tracking, and compliance processes. Grant transactions are now recorded and tracked within Sage Intacct using appropriate invoice dates and general ledger posting dates to ensure that expenses are recorded within the correct period of performance for each grant. Sage Intacct provides detailed grant reporting capabilities, allowing the organization to generate transaction‐level reports for individual grants. Documentation procedures have also been strengthened. Supporting documentation for expense transactions is attached directly to transactions within Sage Intacct and is also stored in organized files on Porchlight’s internal server to ensure documentation is readily available for review and audit purposes. Procurement approvals and related documentation are retained within Sage Intacct on a transactional level, archived email records, and internal file storage, ensuring that approvals are documented and accessible. The Financial Director is currently responsible for preparing and submitting grant performance reports. Porchlight is also in the process of recruiting a staff Grants Manager to further strengthen grant management, monitoring, and reporting responsibilities. Porchlight maintains a grant reporting calendar and tracking system, which is maintained electronically on the organization's internal server to ensure that all reporting deadlines are monitored and met. Grant documentation is now maintained in centralized and organized compliance files on the internal server, allowing staff and auditors to easily access grant documentation and supporting records. Management will continue to monitor grant compliance processes and documentation procedures to ensure ongoing compliance with funding requirements and reporting obligations.

Management agrees with the finding and has implemented several corrective actions to strengthen internal controls and financial reporting processes. Porchlight implemented new accounting software in 2025, Sage Intacct, which includes a grants dimension that allows the organization to track financial activity by individual grant and sub‐grant at the transaction level. This system enables the preparation of detailed grant‐level financial reports, including profit and loss statements for individual grants. Internal accounting working papers further document detailed line‐item tracking instructions of grant revenues and expenditures. These processes provide improved transparency and audit support for grant expenditures. Indirect costs are now allocated using a nights‐of‐shelter allocation methodology, which is consistent with guidance provided by Porchlight’s government partner organizations. This methodology has been documented and is applied consistently across applicable programs. Monthly reconciliations of significant general ledger accounts are now performed and documented on a regular basis. These reconciliations are reviewed by the Executive Director, who is currently completing additional training in our new accounting processes to further support this oversight function. Management will continue monitoring the reconciliation process to ensure it is completed in a timely and consistent manner. Journal entries will be reviewed on a monthly basis during scheduled meetings between the Executive Director and the Finance Director to ensure proper documentation and approval. Cash disbursement controls have also been strengthened. Accounts Payable staff prepare a weekly payment list, which is reviewed and approved by the Finance Director. The Executive Director then performs a secondary review and signs checks or approves payments. ACH transactions are submitted to the bank by the AP accountant, and require final authorization through the bank’s online system by either the Executive Director, or the Finance Director when the Executive Director is unavailable. These procedures provide documented authorization of cash disbursements. Consistent financial reporting to the Board is in the final processes. The reporting component of the Sage Intacct implementation has required additional refinement, and we are working with outside consultants who are familiar with our specific system setup to ensure reporting processes operate effectively. Financial reports will be presented to the Board of Directors Finance Committee, which meets with the Executive Director and Finance Director every two months to review financial performance and discuss financial results. Financial statements will be prepared internally prior to the audit, which improves management oversight and reduces the need for audit adjustments. Additionally, Porchlight has significantly strengthened its finance department staffing. A new Finance Director began full‐time employment in June 2024. New Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable accountants, as well as accounting assistants, have been hired and trained on Porchlight’s financial procedures and Sage Intacct. External accounting consultants have also been engaged to assist with audit preparation, reconciliations, and other accounting functions when additional capacity is needed. Management will continue to evaluate internal controls and financial reporting processes to ensure compliance with applicable financial reporting and grant requirements.
