FINDING 2004-006 Finding Subject: COVID-19-Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Reporting Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Celita Green, City Controller Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 219-881-5085 Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding that Total Cumulative Expenditures reported for Quarter 2 report (April 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024) and Quarter 3 report (July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024) were understated. However, there is no mechanism to file corrective to the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“SLFRF”) Compliance Quarterly Reports with the Treasury reporting system once they are submitted. The City did make cumulative adjustments in the Quarter 4 report (October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024) to agree with Cumulative Expenditures in the Report with the City’s accounting records, once the City determined the cumulative totals were inaccurate prior to being audited. Description of Corrective Action Plan: As stated above, the City did make cumulative adjustments in the Quarter 4 report (October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024) to agree with Cumulative Expenditures with the City’s accounting records, in accordance with the periodic updates to the “Compliance and Reporting Guidance for State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds” issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which indicates how to make cumulative adjustments in the current quarter’s report. Since the 4th Quarter 2024 Compliance Report, the City’s totals agree with Treasury Quarterly Reports to date. . Anticipated Completion Date: Actions were completed on January 30, 2025

Condition: The Organization’s expenditure reports filed with the grantor for the cost reimbursement-based grant were overstated, and the Organization was overpaid by $182,167, of which $26,730 was received after yearend. The overpayment has not yet been refunded back to the grantor, over a year after the performance period of the grant had ended. Recommendation: The Organization should coordinate with the grantor the return of the unspent funds. The Organization should reevaluate its grant expenditure reporting procedures to better mitigate the risk of inaccurate filing and improper reimbursement. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Organization agrees with the finding and recommendation. The anticipated completion date for the corrective action is October 30, 2025.

Finding ref number: 2024-001 Finding caption: The City did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with federal allowable costs, matching and reporting requirements, and it did not comply with federal allowable costs and matching requirements. Name, address, and telephone of City contact person: Cindy Niemeier, Finance Director 609 2nd Street Cheney, WA 99004 509-498-9215 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The City of Cheney recognizes the error in classifying a grant received from the Washington State Department of Commerce as a state grant rather than a federal pass­ through grant, which makes this funding source ineligible as matching funds in the funding awarded from the Department of Reclamation. The City has contacted the Department of Reclamation federal program to disclose the error and determine the required corrective action. The City of Cheney has proposed replacing the submitted reimbursement requests with City expenses as allowable matching expenses. The City is currently waiting on the Department of Reclamation for direction. The 2024 reporting error was corrected in 2025. Future projects with multiple funding sources will continue to be managed by the individual departments. The additional internal control will require the departments to meet quarterly with Finance to conduct internal audits of the reimbursement requests and completed reporting. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: December 31, 2025

The Methodist College Registrar has been working with NSC to get the college relinked to the correct college in their system, which was fixed 11/2023. The registrar redeveloped database query to pull the old data that had been deleted by NSC due to FERPA and began sending accurate file submissions to NSC in June 2024. Files generated and submitted under the College’s new processes are taking roughly one week to process from initial submission, through error correction, and finalization.

Additionally, the Credit Union has corrected and resubmitted the PPR and UOA reports which were accepted by the CDFI in August 2025. Internal control procedures will be developed and implemented in December 2025 and the Credit Union has corrected and resubmitted the PPR and UOA reports which were accepted by the CDFI in August 2025.

Management’s Response/Corrective Action Plan: The City of Bangor’s Community Development Block Grant program receives direct oversight by the Community Development Officer, responsible for ensuring compliance with Federal regulations, including the determination of eligibility, allowability, and allocability of all financial expenditures. Previously, the City’s practice concerning CDBG funds provided to other departments allowed those project managers to directly charge the CDBG account through payroll, requisition or direct charges which are not first reviewed and approved by the Community Development Officer. The Community Development Officer has implemented the following procedural changes: 1. Executing Interdepartmental Subrecipient Agreements. This document establishes certain standards and expectations for CDBG-funded programs. In 2025-26, Agreements will create new procedural safeguards including submitting requisitions for all expenditures not contained in the approved budget, and to submit receipts or invoices to the Community Development office directly to back up all approved expenses. 2. The Community Development Officer must review and sign off on all expenses charged to the CDBG account by Community and Economic Development Staff, including “OK To Pay” charges, and requisitions. The Community Development Officer recommends the following changes: 1. The issuance of a separate credit card to be used exclusively for CDBG expenditures. The reconciliation process is very tedious and involves sifting through unrelated expenses, and some expenses which are allocated to CDBG which have not been initiated by the Community Development Division and were deemed ineligible by the Community Development Officer. This creates some challenges finding another account to charge to, often a month or more after the expense occurred. The CDBG program does a monthly drawdown for administrative costs, which requires the CDO to make adjustments for expenses that are discovered during the reconciliation process. 2. Eliminating the practice of providing CDBG account numbers to individual departments to directly charge expenses. This leaves the program particularly vulnerable, as when a department charged nearly $435,000 to the CDBG account, requiring reversal of charges that were not eligible. The CDO believes that this change should be initiated by the Finance department with cooperation by the CED. 3. Establishing a review process for personnel expense outside of Salary and Fringe Benefit. Many charges in SunGard related to 701 charges are not viewable as they are deemed privileged expenses. However, some charges for personnel expenses have required review and reversal, and in one case a charge for “travel” was discovered for a program that does not involve this activity. The Finance Department might consider a change to include review if necessary.

Federal Agency Name: Department of Homeland Security Pass-Through Entity: State of South Dakota Office of Emergency Management Assistance Listing Number: 97.039 Program Name: Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Finding Summary: Material expenditures were claimed for reimbursement with no documented formal review and approval. Corrective Action Plan: We will continue to have the approvals of material expenditures happen at the requisition level when the materials are ordered. If we must use material from our internal inventory stock, we will use a material charge out sheet that will provide the following information: work order number of project, name of work order, date, material item number (SBR#), quantity, charged by, approved by and posted by. This charge out sheet will then be posted in our IVUE system, and the paper copy will be scanned into vault for documentation. This same procedure will be used for salvage and credit material. For cash management, we will send the final summarized report to the Operations Manager for approval before it is sent to FEMA. Responsible Individuals: Mike Letcher, Operations Manager; Brendan Nelson, Operations Supt.; and Sanden Simons, Operations Supt.; Anticipated Completion Date: The anticipated date of completion is September 2025, as we have notified our employees of this change.

Federal program title - Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund program (LATCF) CFDA 21.032 Recommendation: We recommend the County refine its understanding and interpretation of the standards and ensure that the County policies and procedures are consistent with that understanding and interpretation. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The LATCF funds were reported on the SEFA under CFDA 21.032 by the CAO’s department because the funds were transferred from the CAO’s fund to the DOT fund, with the understanding it would be expended. However, DOT did not spend the funds within the same fiscal year in which they received the transfer due to a misunderstanding that the funds could not be used for prior year expense. As a result, the funds were recorded as unearned revenue in fiscal year 2023/24, and the related expenditures will be reported in the following fiscal year.

FINDING 2024-003 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Reporting Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Dana Gault, Controller Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 765-382-3762 dgault@cityofmarion.in.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Explanation: While the City concurs with the finding that funds were reported as expended in the April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 program reporting period, while in fact, these funds were merely transferred from the City’s American Rescue Plan Act Local Fiscal Recovery Fund to accounts for the City’s Redevelopment Commission and Airport Authority, and were not actually expended during said program reporting period from the accounts to which they had been transferred. The City wishes to make it clear that the City made the relevant transfers appropriately and did so to advance permissible programs and projects under the Award Terms and Conditions of the City’s Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Program award. At all times, the City maintained awareness of the funds in question and the status of the programs and projects being undertaken by the Redevelopment Commission and Airport Authority, respectively. The only matter with which the City concurs is the finding that, for purposes of reporting in the City’s Project and Expenditure Report, these funds were in fact transferred to allow the Redevelopment Commission and Airport Authority, respectively, to expend the funds, and that this transfer was reported as an expenditure of such funds in error. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Deputy Controller will prepare the report and the Controller and the Financial Advisor will review and approve the current reporting period dates and data are correct. We will update the INTERNAL CONTROL to require that the Deputy Controller, Controller and Financial Advisor will include in their preparation and review, identification of the specific expenditure underlying any report of expended funds to avoid future incidents of a transfer of funds being mischaracterized as an expenditure of funds.

Finding 2024-003 Federal assistance listing number and name: 10.415 Rural Rent Housing Loans Awards numbers and years: 2024 Federal agency: United States Department of Agriculture Compliance Requirement: Activities allowed or unallowed, allowable costs/ cash management, eligibility, equipment, period of performance, procurement, program income, reporting, special tests Questioned Costs: None Name of contact person and title: Pat Bishop, President Condition and Context: Management has requested that the auditor propose certain year-end adjustments to bring the financial statements into conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). For example, cash to accrual adjustments, depreciation calculations and adjustments, adjustments to debt and interest expense, interest subsidy adjustments, etc. Management Response: Management has evaluated the risk that a material misstatement might occur and not be detected in the financial statements. Management believes that the risk of material misstatement is not significant for the following reasons: 1. The entries are standard entries required to be made each year. If an entry was not made it would be obvious in the financial statements. A calculation error that would be material to the financial statements would also be obvious. 2. Management reviews and approves both the proposed adjusting journal entries and the financial statements prior to release. Based upon management’s consideration of the risk of material misstatement, management believes the costs of hiring, training, and monitoring part-time accounting personnel far exceed any potential benefits from implementing additional controls.
