Corrective Action Plans

The organization acknowledges that unallowable rent costs were claimed and payment received under government grants and contracts resulting in overstating revenues for FY24, and that adjustments were necessary to the financial statements to correct the resulting deficiencies. As indicated, however, this overstating was due to the unique situation that existed as a result of the landlord’s breaking the organization’s lease, suddenly and without notice. Rent costs were claimed for as long as the organization was liable for the rent. After the liability was forgiven by the landlord, rent costs were returned to the funders.

Views of Responsible Officials: Management understands and agrees. Unfortunately, this issue was identified late into FY24 when the FY23 audit was being completed so the issue persisted into FY24. From the corrective action plans taken from the FY23 audit and desk review, this issue has been addressed and resolved in early FY25. MBN currently has an SOP regarding fixed assets that is already implemented. To address these concerns, MBN updated the SOP to include a clear process for equipment disposals, specifically for assets with a fair market value over $10,000, in accordance with Uniform Guidance. This update will ensure that all disposals are properly documented, and appropriate notifications are made to USAGM. We would like to confirm that the equipment disposal forms have already been updated to ensure that all necessary responses are reviewed and accurately completed as part of the notification process for disposals. Furthermore, we have strengthened our tracking, reporting and disposal processes to ensure the final disposition of equipment, including salvage value, is appropriately recorded.

Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees and if funding had not stopped, audit fieldwork was originally slated to begin April 1st which would have allowed for timely completion. We fully intend to complete our FY25 audit well before the nine-month deadline.

Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees and was fully aware of the situation it found itself in when funding was cut. The Organization was not able to keep enough staff employed during this time to review and correct these errors before the audit fieldwork began. Now that these historical balances have been corrected, the team undergoes a rigorous month-end close process where these issues will be caught and addressed immediately going forward.

Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Amber Swords Planned completion date for corrective action plan: December 31, 2025

A procedure has been created for this and will be implemented and looked at 1/4ly so funds can be spent down during the school year. Immediate steps were taken to do a spenddown plan and the food serviced fund was used for the program to bring down the fund balance to less than the three-month average expenditures.

2024-001 Improper Payroll Approvals Criteria: In accordance with the Agency’s written internal controls, for employee timesheets, “Supervisors review and approve subordinate’s time at the end of the pay period”. Condition: For 21 of 40 payroll transactions selected for testing during the year under audit, there was no approval of the employee’s timesheet by a Supervisor. Cause: Control activities relating to payroll timesheet approvals are not functioning properly, and the Agency was unable to provide written supporting documentation of Supervisor approval. Effect: The Agency is not following its documented internal controls relating to payroll timesheet approvals on a consistent basis. Recommendation: We recommend that the Agency adhere to written internal controls and ensure that all employee timesheets are approved at a level higher than the employee themselves. Additionally, we recommend that appropriate documentation of the approvals is retained. Corrective Action Plan: Employees approve their timesheets electronically, and then it moves to the manager for approval. Once approved the HR Manager reviews and makes any necessary corrections. The COO reviews it once corrected and approves the payroll for processing. The HR Manager will continue working with the payroll vendor to see if they could create a special report to use for our audit. We will create a log for the HR Manager and COO to initial to verify they approved the payroll.

Management acknowledges that there have been challenges with the preparation of the September 30, 2024 financial statements due mainly to the implementation of a new accounting system in January 2024. Three months’ data was recorded in the legacy software system with nine months in the new system. Additionally, implementation of data from the old system to the new system did not mirror each other due to prior management decisions that were made, and so a software consultant was hired to convert all the newly converted data into the old, legacy format. This created duplicate journal entries that took time to identify and correct. These issues have since been resolved. Closing of future fiscal years should not encounter these same challenges. There were additional challenges with the recording of grants. In fiscal year 2024, management of grants had been mainly decentralized. There was a grants department who was responsible for some grants; a grants position in the County Auditor’s office who was responsible for other grants; and the management of even other grants being outsourced to an outside consultant. The Commissioners Court recognized the issues that this caused, and for fiscal year 2026, the grants department has been disbanded. The function of that department will be centralized with the outside consultant – with management oversight by a county employee. The financial recording will be centralized in the County Auditor’s office by an accountant who will be adequately trained in the accounting for grants. The position is currently being advertised, with a hire date of no later than November 30, 2025 being anticipated.

Finding 2024-004: Failure to Notify Secretary of HCM1 Reporting Events while Participating under the Zone Alternative Comments on Finding and Recommendations: The College agrees with this finding as determined in the examination and states that the College had deficiencies related to the Institution's failure to properly notify the Secretary of a violation of a loan agreement and a failure to make a payment in accordance with its debt obligations,that resulted in a creditor filing suit to recover funds under those obligations. Actions Taken or Planned: The College was unaware of the requirement to notify the Secretary of the concerns with the loans and is taking action to notify the Secretary at the time of generating this document. The College has hired an Accreditation and Compliance Officer to ensure that lack of understanding of requirements does not happen in the future. The College would also like to note the following: the individual referenced in the suit had given verbal, though not written permission to not pay the loan past the due date while she served as the Vice Chair of the Governing Board. Upon removal from the Board due to failure to perform duties the individual filed suit, the suit is being partially argued by the College’s attorney noting the complainant had failed in their duties while on the board and may have engaged with another individual to defraud the College. Additionally while the College is submitting notification currently, there is a Government shutdown that may interfere with the notification process.

FINDING 2024-002: Financial Responsibility Comments on Finding and Recommendation: The College agrees with this finding as determined in the audit and states that the College had a net reduction in student enrollments and had incurred additional expenses as it operated and maintained the rent at two separate locations within Florida. The College incurred additional losses in tuition revenue and services revenue as it restructured how to operate both locations appropriately during 2024 while incurring additional costs as the previous entrenched management was moved out. Additionally the previous board had chosen to continue to push debt into following semesters, impacting each semester's ability to produce a profit. Actions Taken or Planned: The College acted in 2024 and 2025 to increase enrollment through, targeted advertising, bringing on a Director of Marketing and Media relations, examining the curriculum to remove waste and elevate the quality of education, changing the vision and mission statement, in 2025 requesting the Foundation investigate and remove the inactive Governing board who was engaging in practices furthering the school's financial difficulties. This has all led to a steady increase in the student population. Additional changes have been made to the program including recruitment criteria all leading to DRCOM quickly becoming a leader in East Asian medical education. While other colleges are closing DRCOM continues to experience growth. While reporting the Gainesville FL location as no longer offering instruction, but maintaining a clinical facility to allow - 15 - students to complete the requirements of their academic program in 2024 and 2025. The College also removed and replaced the Executive Director and other members of administration that contributed to the financial issues faced by the College.

Finding Number 2024-001: Eligibility Determination Process (Material weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance – Eligibility) Program: Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Assistance Listing Number: 14.241 Response and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding that the internal controls required for this program had material weaknesses. To ensure proper program management, program staff have created appropriate procedures and processes to demonstrate internal controls. These include a manager review of potential clients, a checklist for ensuring that the program collects and maintains required records, and a procedure for collecting and storing third-party documentation for client program intake/eligibility, diagnosis, and income. Anticipated Completion Date: by September 1, 2025 Responsible Person: Tiffany Major, Deputy Director

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Oversight Agency for Audit: U.S. Department of Education The City of Quincy, Massachusetts respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2024. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: CBIZ CPAs P.C. 53 State Street, 17ᵗʰ Floor Boston, MA 02109 Audit period: July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 The finding from the June 30, 2024, schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Financial Statement Finding Finding 2024-001: Certain Department Expenditures Exceeding Appropriated Amounts – General Fund – Significant Deficiency Condition: During 2024, it was noted that expenditures in the public safety and education functions exceeded the amounts appropriated by the City Council for the fiscal year. Criteria: Massachusetts general law prohibits the City from incurring liabilities in excess of appropriations in each department with certain specific exceptions, such as snow and ice removal costs, state and county charges, and debt service. Prudent budgetary control and monitoring are essential to ensure compliance with such requirements. Cause: The overspending of these appropriations occurred due to an inadequate internal control system to ensure timely budget amendments. Effect: Overspending appropriations in the General Fund constitutes noncompliance with state law and exposes the City to potential fiscal consequences, as the state may require the City to raise such deficits in the subsequent fiscal year. It may also indicate a weakness in the City's internal controls over budgetary compliance. Recommendation: We recommend that City management strengthen internal controls over budgetary compliance. Management should strengthen its’ procedures throughout the year to monitor budget-to-actual expenditures and ensure timely action, such as requesting formal budget amendments when actual expenditures approach or exceed authorized appropriations. Views of Responsible Officials: The Municipal Finance Office will be implementing procedures to ensure that the Municipal Finance Office and relevant department heads document reviews of budget to actual reports monthly throughout the year, with increased review intervals during June. The purpose of this increased monitoring is to ensure that potential budgetary appropriation deficits are identified in a timelier manner that will allow for any necessary budgetary amendments to be approved by the City Council. Finding 2024-002: Information Technology Controls in Financial Statements – Significant Deficiency Condition: During 2024, we noted the following deficiencies relating to information technology controls in the financial statement reporting process: • User Access Mirroring: When new users are provisioned in the accounting system, access rights are often “mirrored” from existing users without sufficient review of job responsibilities. This practice results in users receiving access to system functions beyond what is necessary for their roles and may compromise segregation of duties. • Privileged Access: A review of privileged user listings indicated access accounts with no exclusionary parameters. • Inadequate Controls Over System Upgrades: When implementing accounting system upgrades, controls over change management including testing, documentation, and approval, were not adequately designed or consistently applied. Instances were noted where upgrades were implemented without thorough pre-deployment testing and formal approval from finance or IT management. Criteria: Best practices and standards for internal control require: • Role-based access provisioning aligned with users’ responsibilities and effective segregation of duties. • The use of exclusionary parameters enhances the ability to monitor system access for unauthorized access. • Robust change management controls over system upgrades, including testing, documentation, and management approval, to ensure system integrity and minimize the risk of errors or unauthorized changes impacting financial reporting. Cause: These deficiencies appear to result from a lack of formalized policies and procedures for user access provisioning and for managing and documenting accounting system upgrades. Effect: The deficiencies increase the risk of: • Unauthorized access or inappropriate transactions due to excessive or incompatible user rights, undermining segregation of duties and accountability. • Errors, omissions, or unauthorized changes introduced during system upgrades, potentially affecting the integrity and accuracy of financial data and financial statement preparation. Recommendation: We recommend that City management: • Implement procedures to provision user access based on individual roles and responsibilities, with documented review and approval to ensure segregation of duties is maintained. This should be evidenced by written approval that is approved by Municipal Finance and Information Technology office. • Enhance the current process of implementing accounting system upgrades, including requirements for comprehensive pre-deployment testing, clear documentation, and explicit written approval from the Municipal Finance Office and the Information Technology office, prior to going “live” with the upgrade. • Periodically review system access and upgrade processes to ensure ongoing compliance with internal control standards. Views of Responsible Officials: The City will keep these recommendations in mind as it works to upgrade its already existing best practice IT control environment. Finding and Questioned Costs – Major Federal Program Audit Criteria or Specific Requirement: Uniform Guidance section 2 CFR § 200.430(g) requires non- Federal entities to maintain records that accurately reflect the work performed by employees whose salaries are charged, in whole or in part, to Federal awards. For employees working on a single Federal program, semi-annual certifications are required to document time and effort. Condition and Context: During testing of 40 payroll transactions for employees charged to the Special Education program, the City was unable to provide semi-annual certifications supporting that salaries and wages were properly allocated to the grant. Cause: The City did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that required time and effort certifications were retained and readily available for payroll charged to Federal awards. Effect or Potential Effect: Failure to maintain required time and effort documentation resulted in the questioned costs documented below. Questioned costs are reported as follows: AL Number: 84.027 Name of Federal Program or Cluster: Special Education Cluster Questioned Costs: $2,572,675 Recommendation: We recommend the City establish and implement procedures to ensure that semiannual certifications are completed, maintained, and reviewed for all personnel whose salaries are charged to Federal awards. Views of Responsible Officials: This is a questioned cost due to the School Department not having completed certain administrative paperwork, required by grant regulations. We have implemented procedures during FY2025 to address this matter. The required paperwork will be retained on file going forward.

Finding 2024-004: Internal Control over Compliance Type of finding: Internal Control (material weakness) and Compliance (material noncompliance) Recommendation: The County should strengthen its internal controls over year-end financial close and reporting with adopted policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the Report submission portion of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements section. Action Taken: This finding is very similar to 2024-002. So, the action taken will be the same as noted for that finding and is as follows. The new accountants are not anticipating any issues with meeting the deadline of June 30, 2026 for the 2025 audit. As they have been busy implementing the new processes that are mentioned in the action taken plan for finding 2024-001. These new processes will ensure that they are able to meet any audit requirements for the 2025 audit in a timely manner. In addition, they are already making plans to start submitting reports, etc. to the auditor immediately beginning in the first quarter of 2026. Another thing that will help with the completion of the audit by deadline is that the accounting office and Treasurer's office have developed a good relationship and have a great line of communication, which helps in getting tasks completed on time. If there are questions regarding this plan, please call the party responsible listed below. Sincerely yours, Tressesa Martinez County Administrator Conejos County, Colorado

Finding 2024-003: Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund, Assistance Listing No. 21.032, U.S. Department of Treasury Compliance Requirements: Reporting Grant No.: N/A Type of finding: Internal Control (material weakness) and Compliance (material noncompliance) Recommendation: The County should strengthen its internal controls with adopted policies and procedures to ensure accurate financial reporting in compliance with the Reporting Guidance for the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund. Action Taken: During conversations between the auditor, one of the accountants and myself, it was discovered that the LATCF reporting had been completed by the deadline, but what was reported was not necessarily correct. The accountant will take time to review the reporting guidance for the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund that is found at https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/LATCF-Reporting-Guidance.pdf. This will better equip the accountant with the knowledge they need to complete accurately not just on time. In addition, the accountant will go back and fix the incorrect reporting.

Walla Walla County is taking significant steps to address the recent audit finding regarding inadequate internal controls for compliance with federal requirements. Development of a New Policy To rectify this issue, the county is committed to formulating a new policy specifically tailored to meet federal standards. This development process is already in motion, with the expected completion date set for December 2025. Enhancing Internal Controls We believe that the new policy will significantly improve our internal controls and ensure full compliance with federal mandates. Training Initiatives Additionally, we will seek training opportunities to increase the knowledge of all staff regarding federal programs and compliance requirements, ensuring adherence to these programs and grants.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action — Grace House has created and will implement the following new controls: a) Every reimbursement request made by any employee will require approval from the Executive Director, Assistant Director, or board of directors vote where appropriate. b) For rental invoices, the immediate supervisor must approve all rental invoices for payment processing before being submitted to the administrative office. If the immediate supervisor is absent, the invoice must be approved by the Executive Director or Assistant Director. c) When a new client invoice is submitted for approval for an existing approved landlord, the invoice along with the traditional client identifying information will be reviewed by both the immediate supervisor and the Executive Director. d) When a new client invoice is submitted for approval for a new landlord, the invoice will be reviewed by both the immediate supervisor and the Executive Director. Each invoice requires a W9 form to validate the legal name, property records verifying ownership matching the legal name on the W9, a picture ID of the individual listed on the W9, and a copy of the agreement if a property management company is listed on the W9 instead of an individual. e) All new clients and landlords will be researched through an investigative software to prove there is no evidence of false identity. f) Grace House has contracted an independent certified fraud investigator to conduct periodic reviews for compliance with fraud prevention policies at least semiannually but beginning quarterly through 2025.

Finding 2024-01 Financial Close Process Condition: During the audit, it was noted that the Organization lacked a robust financial close and review process. This deficiency resulted in material audit adjustments across key financial statement accounts, including revenue, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, nets assets, and related activity accounts. These adjustments were proposed by the auditors and subsequently recorded by management in order to fairly present the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The extent and materiality of the adjustments indicate that the Organization's existing closing procedures were insufficient to identify and correct errors prior to the audit. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organization acknowledges this finding and agrees with the auditor’s assessment regarding the need for a more robust financial close and review process. We recognize that the absence of such a process contributed to the material audit adjustments noted during the engagement. Management and the Board are committed to strengthening internal controls and financial oversight to ensure that future financial statements are materially accurate and compliant with GAAP prior to audit. We are confident that the measures underway will address the deficiency and prevent recurrence. To address this finding, the Organization will implement a comprehensive monthly and quarterly financial close and review process to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with GAAP prior to the annual audit. Specific actions include: 1. Monthly Close Procedures - Develop and document a formal month-end closing checklist. - Reconcile all key accounts monthly (cash, accounts payable, receivables, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, and net assets). - Require dual review and sign-off from the Accountant (FTM) and Co-Executive Director. 2. Quarterly Financial Review - Conduct quarterly reviews of financial statements and reconciliations with the Treasurer of the Board. - Compare actual results against budget and prior-year trends to identify anomalies early. - Engage an external accountant (FTM) quarterly (if feasible) for review and guidance. 3. Training & Capacity Building - Provide finance staff with training in GAAP reporting and nonprofit accounting best practices. - Implement cross-training to ensure continuity if staffing changes occur. 4. Documentation & Controls - Maintain detailed documentation of all reconciliations and adjusting entries. - Establish a clear approval hierarchy for journal entries, ensuring all significant entries are reviewed by leadership prior to posting. 5. Audit Readiness - By implementing these processes, management will be positioned to present materially accurate financial statements prior to auditor review. - The goal is to minimize, if not eliminate, material audit adjustments in future years. Progress will be tracked by requiring the Finance Committee to review and approve quarterly financial packages. Any discrepancies or deficiencies will be documented and corrective steps taken promptly.

Management has implemented enhanced review processes to ensure accuracy in key accounts and prevent discrepancies. A formal review procedure is now in place to examine journal entries before they are posted.

Management will ensure that the books are closed within 45 days of the end of each reporting period. To support this timeframe, we have put a dedicated team in place. Additionally, a month-end checklist has been established to confirm that all tasks are completed on schedule.
