Description of Finding: GBAPP, Inc. was unable to prepare financial statements, a schedule of federal awards and a schedule of state financial assistance that complied with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and governmental professional standards on a timely basis. Significant adjustments, subsequent to year end, were required to conform the financial statements and schedules to professional standards in all material respects. Accordingly, the Federal Data Collection Form and the Connecticut EARS filings were not submitted timely. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: GBAPP, Inc. concurs with this audit finding. Corrective Action: Management has since retained additional personnel to assist in performing these duties and is in the process of implementing additional policies and procedures. GBAPP supplemented its accounting personnel with an external CPA with extensive experience in accounting and reporting for non-profit organizations that receive federal and state funding, and who also possesses the suitable skills, knowledge and experience in financial, government and grants management reporting to ensure that this finding will not be repeated.

During 2020 – 2022, HOMECorp’s management team was significantly impacted by COVID and despite PPP loan retention efforts we lost all our staff and transitioned our HUD Certified Housing Counselor to Property Manager. Due to staffing shortages and restricted to access to apartments as a result of health concerns, our property manager was unable to perform Housing Quality Standards Inspections. The new Executive Director has contracted with a General Contractor to help assist our property manager with Housing Quality Standards Inspections. These inspections are conducted annually with detailed inspection logs for HVAC, Painting, Fire Safety, and major unit renovations maintained and tracked in our digital database. These logs are reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis to ensure timeliness in compliance and maintenance requests.

Management has strengthed both financial reporting controls and ovesight procedures. Sage Intacct ERP system was implemented in 2024 to enhance grant level reporting accurary and reconciliation capabilities. In addition, a comprehensive reporting tracker that monitors deadlines were implemented to improve timeliness of submission of financial and programmatic reports. All federal financial reports are now reconciled with the general ledger and verifying that grant deliverables are met in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. These measures are designed to prevent future late or missing reports and to ensure that funds are properly expended and documented. In addition, all federal financial reports are reconciled to the general ledger prior to submission. A grant reporting reconciliation form is completed and signed by both the Grants Director and Finance staff verifying agreement between accounting records and submitted reports. Reports may not be submitted until the reconciliation documentation is completed and retained.

2023 – 003: Activities Allowed and Unallowed, Allowable Costs, Period of Performance (Compliance; Internal Controls Over Compliance) (Repeat Finding: 2021-003 and 2022-003) Material Weakness – 93.U01 Title V Condition: The Organization’s general ledger did not allow for sufficient identification of transactions related to the major program, Title V. Title V expenditures were recorded through journal entries without supporting transaction-level detail. Because of this, the population of expenditures could not be tied to individual transactions, and pulling samples from this population would not provide a reasonable basis for drawing conclusions about the population tested. As a result, we were unable to select transactions for testing or perform the necessary audit procedures to assess compliance with federal requirements. Corrective Action Plan: As of October 1, 2024, the start of FY25, QuickBooks has been the only software used, and Revenue and Disbursements are being classed by Fund. General ledgers are reconciled monthly. Management is strengthening documentation and recordkeeping procedures to ensure compliance with federal record retention requirements, including improved tracking of Title V expenditures and retention of transaction-level support.

Corrective Action: In alignment with the recent leadership transition, a comprehensive policy and procedure manual has been established to ensure our procurement practices meet HUD guidelines. The following outlines our updated procurement policy: 1. Compliance with Standards: All procurement of property (goods, supplies, or equipment) and services must adhere to the standards of conduct and conflict-of-interest requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.317 and 200.318. 2. Micro Purchases (Under $9,999): Temenos CDC (TCDC) will document the reasonableness of costs for all micro purchases to ensure appropriate spending practices. 3. Small Purchases ($10,000 and above): For small purchases exceeding $10,000, TCDC will solicit a minimum of three bids for services to promote competitive pricing. 4. Vendor Vetting: 1. All new vendors will be vetted through the SAM (System for Award Management) Department prior to the initiation of services. 2. Continuous service providers will be subject to an annual vetting process to ensure ongoing compliance and quality. These measures are designed to reinforce our commitment to transparency, accountability, and compliance with HUD requirements.

Finding ref number: 2023-002 Finding caption: The Town did not have adequate internal controls and did not comply with federal wage rate requirements. Name, address, and telephone of Town contact person: Dan Harwood, Mayor PO Box 248, Malden, Washington 99149 (509) 569-3771 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: We agree with the SAO staff as far as the Town staff being new to federal grants and the requirements of recordkeeping associated with it. It is obvious that the Town staff can not handle the workload of administering all the grants that the town has obtained since the 2020 Babb Road Fire. We are in the process of contracting an outside party that will handle most of the current grants. The Town staff thought they processed all the certified payroll information that was received. We were surprised that there were some missing. The State Department of Commerce has been working with the staff on making sure that the certified payroll process was complete. With any future grants we will make sure that Town staff will pursue training on Certified Payroll to make sure all papers are received. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: These actions will be done when we receive future federal grants.

2023-002 PROGRAM INCOME - MATERIAL WEAKNESS Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks and HOME Investment Partnership Program ALN 14.239; passed through the County of Berks. Condition/Cause During our testing of program income received during 2023, it was noted that the Authority did not report all program income received into IDIS. As a result of not entering all program income into IDIS, our testing indicated that new entitlement funds were drawn down prior to utilizing all available program income on hand. The Authority utilizes a separate general ledger account in the financial reporting software to record all program income received for each federal grant program. The Fiscal Officer enters the program income into IDIS. No internal control existed to ensure the completeness or accuracy of the program income information entered into IDIS. Recommendation We recommend the Authority develop and implement an internal control procedure to ensure that all program income is entered timely within the IDIS system. Prior to drawing down new entitlement funding, the program income general ledger account associated with the grant program should be reviewed and compared to the program income reported within IDIS to ensure all program income is recorded and fully utilized before drawing down additional entitlement funding. Management Response The Authority implemented a new policy to track and document program income: a. Upon receipt of program income, it shall be entered individually into IDIS and assigned to an activity or activities within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt. b. At the next request for funds for an activity which includes funding from program income, program income shall be used prior to requesting federal funds for the activity. c. The request for federal funds shall be prepared by the Fiscal Officer and reviewed by one of the Assistant Fiscal Officers to determine if program income is being used prior to the request of federal funds. d. If it has been determined and documented that program income is being used prior to the request for federal funds, the request shall be forwarded to the Executive Director for approval. Current Status of Corrective Action Plan This finding has been resolved by management. The new policy was implemented on April 1, 2025.

Finding: 2023-003: Material Weakness and Questioned Cost - Grant Claim Support Description of Finding: SacAsian’s accounting system design did not align grant billings with the general ledger’s underlying expenses, as only direct costs were coded to the grant and other allowable costs flowed to unrestricted. As a result, the ledger detail did not clearly demonstrate the grant claim support without additional reconciliation. Cause: A comprehensive system for allocating and documenting grant-related costs had not yet been implemented. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: SacAsian agrees with the finding. Corrective Action: SacAsian understands and acknowledges the significance of this finding and the potential that it creates for documentation gaps. The Controller and Director of Finance have implemented an ERP system which allows for better cost reporting and reviews of the grant-related expenses for accuracy, reliability, and reconciliation. While the general ledger details do not align, SacAsian did provide full documentation to substantiate the expenses claimed in each billing. Moving forward, all expenditures that have been billed will be reconciled to the general ledger monthly by the Director of Finance, Controller, and external CFO firm to ensure that billings match to expenditure detail and have been correctly allocated.

Finding: 2023-001: Material Weakness - Untimely Audit Submission in Accordance with 0MB Uniform Guidance Description of Finding: The Sacramento Asian-Pacific Chamber of Commerce (SacAsian) did not submit its December 31, 2023 Single Audit reporting package—including the audited financial statements, Data Collection Form, prior-year status, and Corrective Action Plan—to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the required deadline. Cause: The submission was delayed because the Single Audit could not be completed on time due to change in audit firm and staffing shortages. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: SacAsian agrees with the finding. Corrective Action: SacAsian understands the seriousness of this deficiency and the need for strict adherence to timely audit submissions per the OMB Uniform Guidance. Additional staff have been hired to assist in accounting processes, including a Controller to review all accounting processes and procedures with the Director of Finance and implement best practice recommendations and stronger month-end closing procedures and schedule. The delay in performing the 2023 audit was caused by a change in auditors. Our previous auditor did not have the capacity to continue our audit engagement due to staff shortages related to COVID. A new audit firm identified and engaged. However, there were delays in beginning the audit, and staffing challenges internally with completing the audit such that deadlines were not met. Additionally, an external finance and accounting firm was hired in September 2025 to provide additional capacity and high-level support to bring our audits current by March 2026. The additional staffing, external expertise, and improved procedures will prevent untimely submissions in future years.

CUAHSI Corrective Action: Action by CUAHS! impacting audit year 2023: NA Corrective actions to processes and responsibilities impacting subsequent years: CUAHSI is behind on submitting an audit for fiscal year (FY) 2023. Management has made clearing this backlog its highest priority. The schedule is to complete and file the FY 2023 package by fall 2025 and the FY 2024 package shortly thereafter, at which point CUAHSI expects to return to on-time Federal Audit Clearinghouse filings. Recent upgrades to the accounting system, the hiring of in-house finance staff, and revised closing procedures are designed to streamline and accelerate future audit preparation so that all subsequent audits are filed by the required deadlines.
