2025-003 Period of Performance - Community Development Block Grants/Entitlement Grants Cluster Assistance Listing Number 14.218 Grant Period - Year Ended December 31, 2025 Condition Found The City did not meet program timeliness spending requirements. The City’s unexpended balance at December 31, 2025 of $2,435,653 is more than 1.5 times the $1,303,056 entitlement grant for the current year. We consider this to be an instance of non-compliance relating to the Period of Performance Compliance Requirement. Corrective Action Plan The City of Decatur met CDBG timeliness spending requirements in 2026 and is currently in compliance. To maintain compliance, the Economic & Community Development Department will regularly monitor expenditure rates, unexpended balances, and project schedules; coordinate with staff and subrecipients to address delays; and ensure timely reimbursement processing and drawdowns. These ongoing oversight measures will help identify and resolve spending concerns before future timeliness assessments.

Finding No.: 2025-004 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture AL Program: 10.555 Child Nutrition Cluster Federal Award No.: 7GU300GUB Area: Reporting Questioned Costs: $0 Views of Auditee and Corrective Actions GDOE acknowledges the finding. The corrective action addresses the variances in the first and third quarter FY 2025 FNS-777 reports, related accounting records and reconciliations, and the subawards that were not reported as required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act. Plan of action and completion date: The GDOE Business Office will reconcile applicable MUNIS expenditures against CNP claim and reimbursement records, draw requests, ASAP draw confirmations, bank receipts, MUNIS revenue entries, accounts receivable and other applicable receivable records, and documented adjustments. Differences among amounts requested, drawn, received, and recorded in MUNIS will be documented and resolved. Each quarterly FNS-777 will be supported by a line-by-line workpaper prepared by the GDOE Business Office and provided to GDOE FNSMD CNP, identifying the authoritative source for prior-period amounts, current period outlays, valid unliquidated obligations, federal funds authorized, adjustments, and the unobligated balance. An ASAP draw alone will not determine whether an amount is reported as an outlay or an unliquidated obligation. An earned reimbursement that has not yet been drawn may be recorded as a receivable for reconciliation purposes but will not automatically be reported as an unliquidated obligation. Separately, the GDOE Business Office will establish its controls under 2 CFR part 170 to identify and timely report each CNP subaward of $30,000 or more in the applicable federal system (FSRS). In coordination with GDOE FNSMD CNP, the GDOE Business Office review the FY 2025 subawards, submit any permitted late or corrective reports, and retain evidence of submission or final disposition. Plan to monitor and responsible officials: GDOE FNSMD CNP will conduct monthly follow-ups with the GDOE Business Office to monitor progress and ensure that activities remain on track for completion within the established timelines. Reconciliations will be performed quarterly to ensure that all financial transactions for the quarter are accurately recorded, supported, and ready for required reporting. The GDOE FNSMD CNP Administrator, Anthony S. Monforte and CNP Program Coordinator, Franklin J. Cruz will oversee the reconciliation and reporting controls. The Controller or designated GDOE Business Office official will be responsible for ASAP draws, MUNIS records, cash receipts, receivables, draw confirmations, federal subaward reporting, and supervisory review. The corrective actions will be implemented by October 1, 2026, and first applied to the FY 2027 first quarter reporting cycle. For each quarterly filing, GDOE FNSMD CNP will retain the completed reconciliation, preparer and reviewer sign-offs, and evidence of supervisory review, including supporting documentation provided by the GDOE Business Office, as applicable. The responsible officials will also document an annual review of the control process.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Assistance Listing Nos.: 93.918, Grants to Provide Outpatient Early Intervention Services with Respect to HIV Disease (Ryan White, Part C) and 93.153, Coordinated Services and Access to Research for Women, Infants, Children, and Youth (Ryan White, Part D) Condition: Ryan White, Part C and Part D require the use of program income under the additive method, which requires program income earned from a federally funded program is added to the federal award amount and used to further program objectives. Under the method, allowable expenditures of program income are included on the SEFA. UPMC’s SEFA did not include expenditures related to program income, which were allowable. UPMC’s preliminary SEFA did not include these expenditures, which resulted in the incorrect identification of major programs. The SEFA was subsequently corrected. Corrective action plan: UPMC has remediated the control deficiency as of the period ending December 31, 2025, and has appropriately revised its processes and internal controls to expenditures of program income in the SEFA for impacted programs. Completion: September 2026

Cause of Finding: Organization personnel recorded inputs to the sliding scale fee calculation, such as family size or annual household income, incorrectly in the medical billing software. This resulted in an inappropriate sliding scale fee adjustment for one patient identified during the audit sample. Action: The CFO will ensure that all personnel responsible for determining and entering sliding scale fee information understand and follow the Organization's sliding fee policy and established procedures. The Financial Coordinator, who was hired at the end of 2025, will provide additional oversight of the sliding fee adjustment process and will assist in ensuring that supporting documentation is reviewed and accurately entered into the medical billing software. The Financial Coordinator will review the documentation used to determine patient eligibility and the applicable sliding fee adjustment, including family size and annual household income. The Financial Coordinator will ensure that information entered into the medical billing software agrees with the supporting documentation and that the appropriate sliding fee adjustment is applied in accordance with the Organization's sliding fee policy. The Financial Coordinator will provide training and ongoing support to staff responsible for determining eligibility, calculating sliding fee adjustments, and entering patient information into the medical billing software. Training will emphasize the requirements of the sliding fee policy, including documentation requirements, family size, household income, eligibility requirements, and appropriate fee calculations. The Financial Coordinator will perform monthly audits of sliding fee adjustments to identify data entry errors and ensure that patients receiving sliding fee adjustments meet the requirements of the Organization's policy. The monthly review will include verification of supporting documentation, family size, annual household income, eligibility, and the sliding fee adjustment applied. Any errors identified through the review will be corrected in a timely manner, and the CFO will determine whether additional training or corrective action is necessary. The CFO will also review the sliding fee policy and related procedures to ensure they provide clear guidance to staff regarding the documentation, calculation, approval, and application of sliding fee adjustments. The Organization will maintain documentation of eligibility determinations, monthly reviews, and any corrective actions taken to support compliance with the Health Center Program requirements and to ensure program income is appropriately calculated and collected.

Finding 2025-001 Reporting Community Development Block Grant - Entitlement Grant/Special Purpose Cluster (ALN 14.218) Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding and is implementing procedures to correct it. Due to a large number of turnover throughout the last year and a half, internal controls procedures did not operate as designed and led to this finding. The Corporation’s staffing has since stabilized, and internal control procedures have been restored to ensure compliance with the Reporting requirements.

ACED accounting staff will make the journal entry to reclassify the expenditure. The accounting staff will document more closely all program income and consistently record all expenditures in the appropriate expenditure accounts. D. Timetable of dates for performance of planned corrective action steps including completion date: This will be an immediate action as of July 8, 2026. Description of monitoring to be performed to ensure corrective action steps are taken: The accounting staff will maintain a tracking sheet of the dates of the expenditures and notate the accounts the items were recorded to and this will be reviewed by the Assistant Director of Finance.

Corrective action steps taken and/or planned: We have reviewed the Cash-on-Hand reports and determined that the issue stems from program income balances being carried over and erroneously added to the grant balances each reporting period. Since program income is the first funding drawn down before entitlement funding it should be a zero balance at the end of the quarter. We will implement a process for the accounting staff to pull the PR01 – HUD Grants and Program Income report to compare the program income balance, when completing the Cash-on Hand report each quarter to verify program income expenditures. D. Timetable of dates for performance of planned corrective action steps including completion date: This process will be immediately implemented for the 2nd quarter 2026, Cash-on-Hand report. E. Description of monitoring to be performed to ensure corrective action steps are taken: The Cash-on-Hand report and all supporting documentation will be submitted to the Assistant Director or Finance, as well as the Assistant Director of Operations for review to ensure accuracy before the report is submitted in the IDIS system for HUD’s approval.

SHR will correct the identified non-Ryan White Part B (RWB) patients who were incorrectly included in the RWB program income. The corrective action consists of generating a report of all RWB patients and matching this report to a separate report listing patient receipts collected. This process will occur on a monthly basis, with RW program collections being posted as community income. This process will also include reconciling the results with an independent report generated by our external collection agency. This QA procedure will ensure that patients included in the RWB program income report are appropriately classified as RWB patients and are not community clinic patients who are not eligible for inclusion in RWB program income. SHR will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these controls and will make additional adjustments as necessary to ensure that RWB program income is accurately classified, recorded, and reported in accordance with applicable program requirements.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN2025-001 [2023-001]—TRACKING AND VALUATION OF MORTGAGE RECEIVABLES AND AMOUNTS DUE TO GRANTORType of Finding: (A) Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial ReportingStatement of ConditionWhile the Housing Trust has begun a complete review of its loan portfolio, the project has not yet been completed. Therefore, we were unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence to support the Housing Trust’s tracking and valuation of its mortgage receivables and amounts that are due to grantor.Per our audit procedures, we noted that management was unable to provide the following:A reasonable methodology for estimating its allowance for loan losses.Funding provided by grantors for the loan programs that should also be classified as amounts that are due to grantor.Not all current year loans were recorded in the general ledger (approximative $512,066) and approx. $481,201 were recorded twice.A net prior year adjustment of $36,460 for mortgages receivable and $35,000 for land leases held was necessary.Reclassification between loans accounts and grant revenue were necessaryContextThe Housing Trust has a portfolio of over six-hundred individual mortgage receivables that include both non-amortizing and amortizing loans, which management has valued at approximately $25,291,075. These loans have been funded by several sources, including federal, state, and local funding. Some of the grantors have established in their agreements that these funds do not belong to the Housing Trust, but actually belong to the grantor. CriteriaThe Housing Trust should ensure it has a board-approved policy for its loan portfolio to ensure that these assets are properly tracked, classified, and maintained with specialized loan management software that can perform the following:Loan Classification and TrackingEach loan is properly identified with its funding source (federal, state, local, etc.) and type of restriction Each loan agreement has the funding source specifiedThe current status of each loan is tracked (current, delinquent, defaulted)Loan funding that has been established as due to the grantor is properly tracked.Compliance and ReportingEnsure the loans comply with the specific guidelines of their respective funding source. Audit trails are available for all transactions and valuations.The receivables and related interest accruals supported by the loan management software should be reconciled to the Housing Trust’s accounting software.Financial TrackingThe valuation of the portfolio should be updated periodically (at least quarterly) for any changes in loan status or market conditions.All new loans should be recorded in the general ledger A loan loss policy was established that includes a loan loss methodology incorporating risk classes based on the borrower’s ability to repay. However, the calculations seem to follow a different methodology established afterwards. The policy should be updated with calculation methodology and with the backup research of historical data. A loan review committee should be responsible for reviewing and approving the classifications of loans and the associated allowance for loan losses which should be supported by high-quality data collection on each borrower’s payment history and any relevant economic indicators. The calculations and methodology should follow the approved policy, or the policy should be improved to include all factors mentioned above.EffectThe auditors were not able to verify the accuracy of the loan records and financial statements related to mortgage loans, the related accrued loan interest, the allowance for loan losses and loan funding that should also be recorded as due to grantor. CauseWhile the Housing Trust has begun a complete review of its loan portfolio, the project has not yet been completed. Therefore, the loan portfolio tracking and valuation have not yet been designed or implemented to support its policies and procedures or provide the loan review committee with a workable system for reviewing, approving and monitoring the organization’s mortgage receivable portfolio. The methodology seems to be changing, and the calculations do not seem to be accurate,RecommendationWe recommend the Housing Trust update policies and procedures for its loan portfolio as identified in the “Context” section of this finding to include methodology, risk assessment, historical loan data research, calculations method with reasoning.View of Responsible OfficialThe Housing Trust acknowledges the finding. Due to turnover in prior years, historical loan records and tracking systems were incomplete or inaccurate. Since then, SFCHT has taken the following steps:A second title company has been contracted to obtain final loan data for the 2026 loan portfolio. A title company will also be engaged annually at year-end to identify and resolve any differences arising during the year.Establish one master loan inventory using Portfol data. This inventory will serve as the master loan control schedule for monthly financial reconciliations. All differences will have a documented resolution, including reconciliation of receivables and related interest between the two systems. Reconciliations will be completed by the 15th business day of the following month.Create a new loan-recording process for every loan closing.Create a Due to Grantor Matrix based on findings from the annual loan review performed by the title company. Supporting documentation, such as grant agreements, correspondence, or other applicable documentation, will be maintained.Review the ASC 326 loan loss methodology to ensure it reflects the actual calculation methodology and is supported by appropriate research. This review will be performed quarterly.Establish a formal loan review committee and process to review loan calculations and the allowance for loan losses. The committee will meet quarterly and review reports from Portfol. Meeting minutes will document updates, decisions, and changes.Corrective Action Plan TimelineFinalize and implement the loan loss methodology: by December 2026Begin monthly Portfol-to-QBO reconciliations: by September 2026Fully hand over all loans to Amerinat by end of 2026; Land Leases will remain “in-house”Continue staff training and Executive-level reviewDesignated Employee Responsible for Corrective Action-Director of Operations-Accounting Specialist2025-002 [2023-002]—FINANCIAL CLOSE AND RESTATEMENTS TO BEGINNING NET ASSETSType of Finding: (A) Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial ReportingStatement of ConditionDuring the audit of the financial statements, we noted that material adjustments and restatements were necessary to correct errors in the current and previously reported financial statements. A summary of the areas and the net effect of the changes are as follows: Type Amount, net Accounts Receivable $ (13,490) Grants and Contracts Receivable 830,747 Accrued Interest 5,798 Amortizing Loan Receivable 419,551 Non-Amortizing Loans Receivable (433,722) Land Held in Trust (61,323) Other Assets (145,000) Prepaid Expenses (61,940) Notes Receivable (195,000) Developments Projects (184,559) Real Estate Inventory to Sell (333,079) Fixed Assets (785,081) ROU Accumulated Amortization (7,511) Accounts Payable (807) Due to Grantor 10,000 Grant Advances (97,963) Accrued Expenses (6,249) Other Current Liabilities 52,841 Lease Liabilities 7,845 Notes Payable (9,710) Net Assets 1,154,733 Total $ 146,081 CriteriaAccounting Standards Codification (ASC) 265 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Communicating Internal Control Related Matters Identified in an Audit” requires that deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting be communicated to those charged with governance when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.The correction of material misstatements indicates the existence of a material weakness in internal control over the maintenance of the organization’s financial statements.EffectThe material adjustments and restatements resulted in significant changes to the current year balances and beginning balances of the organization’s unrestricted and restricted net assets. These adjustments could potentially undermine the stakeholders' confidence in the financial information presented by the organization and may lead to difficulties in securing future funding or maintaining current donor relationships.CauseThe material misstatements were caused by a weakness in the development and implementation of internal controls and financial reporting processes, as well as significant turnover in the organization’s management.RecommendationWe recommend the Housing Trust strengthens its internal controls and financial reporting processes to prevent future occurrences of such errors. This could involve adding additional staff, training current accounting staff and implementing more robust review procedures to ensure that all financial reporting is in strict accordance with GAAP. View of Responsible OfficialThe Housing Trust acknowledges the finding. In prior years, however, internal controls were insufficient. There was no formal month-end close or review process, and prior audits relied on outdated balances without verification. Under new leadershipA formal monthly close calendar has been established, with the monthly close to be completed within 10-15 business days.Create a supporting schedule for every balance sheet account. These schedules will be used as part of the monthly reconciliation process and will be certified.A grant receivable roll-forward will be prepared for each grant, compared to QuickBooks, and reconciled monthly.Each development project will have its own subledger, which will be reconciled monthly.A detailed fixed asset register will be maintained and reconciled quarterly.6. To help prevent future restatements, establish a formal journal-entry control process that requires appropriate supporting documentation and approvals.7. Establish a policy requiring documentation and approval for any changes made to beginning balances.8. The CEO and Finance Committee will perform monthly analytical reviews using the balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and actual-to-budget comparisons.9. Establish a reconciliation exception and audit adjustment log to track outstanding issues requiring resolution, including a timeline for resolving each item.Corrective Action Plan Timeline The timeline to complete this is prior to December 31, 2026.Designated Employee Responsible for Corrective Action-Director of Operations-Accounting Specialist2025-003 [2024-003] - GRANT TRACKING AND SEFA RECONCILIATIONFederal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)Federal Program: Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA)Assistance Listing Number: 14.241Award Number and Period: [NMH240051], [November 1, 2024 – October 31, 2027]Type of Compliance Requirements: Internal Controls Type of Finding: (B) Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Financial ReportingKnown Questions Cost: NoneStatement of ConditionDuring our audit, we identified initial differences between expenditures reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and the general ledger. Management subsequently provided additional supporting schedules and completed a reconciliation of the SEFA to the general ledger. However, the reconciliation required manual effort because one federal award included program income amounts that had not been properly reconciled or corrected, another federal award had expenses that did not belong to the award, and recycled funds were tracked separately partially only from new grant funds in the accounting records. Some of expenses did not have appropriate backup documentation, however, the billing to the grant was correct. Expenses from program income for salaries did not match the timesheets. CriteriaPer 2 CFR 200.302 and 200.510(b), recipients of federal awards must maintain accurate, current, and complete records that adequately identify the source and application of funds. Grant expenditures must be traceable to the financial records and properly classified. Program income, including recycled funds, must be used and tracked in accordance with federal requirements and grantee policies. Specifically, all grants should be tracked separately in the general ledger, and the revenue and expenses should match the reimbursement grants. The SEFA reconciliation should be done thoroughly and discrepancies reconciled or resolved, if that is the case. The policies for recycling the funds should be updated with the financial tracking in the general ledger and update with all grantor recommendations. The HOPWA program policy was updated in July 2025.The recycled funds received/spent should be separately tracked and used per policies and grantor recommendations.EffectThe lack of properly tracking expenditures and recycled funds increases the risk of misstating the SEFA, billing non-allowable or duplicate costs to the grantor, and not meeting timeliness or use restrictions related to program income. This may lead to questioned costs or future audit findings.Recycled funds not properly tracked separately may result in noncompliance with the application of loan funding. CauseThe issues stemmed from frequent staff turnover and the complexity of accounting for loans and recycled funds across departments. RecommendationWe recommend the Housing Trust:Revise and implement grant management policy and procedures that ensure each grant has a dedicated general ledger account.Require all reimbursement requests to be supported by general ledger detail.Ensure program income and recycled funds are separately tracked in accordance with federal guidelines (separate classes).Establish regular reconciliations between Finance and Program records to maintain consistency.View of Responsible OfficialThe Housing Trust acknowledges the finding. Corrective Action Plan: 1. A master grant register has been created that includes all active grants and federal awards.2. Each grant will have a unique class/project established in QuickBooks to capture payroll and other grant-related expenses. Reports will be generated monthly.3. Each grant will be reconciled monthly.4. Grant reimbursement requests will be supported by appropriate documentation.5. Payroll review procedures have been established to confirm that payroll costs are properly allocated to grants.6. Program income will be tracked separately for all applicable income and expenditures.7. Monthly SEFA reconciliations will be completed for all grants, including grants that do not meet the definition for inclusion in the SEFA.8. A grant reconciliation exception log will be established to track outstanding issues, responsible parties, and timelines for resolution. Corrective Action Plan Timeline- Finalize and adopt new Grant Management Policies: by September 2026- Implement monthly SEFA reconciliations: by September 2026- Complete staff training on program income and federal grant tracking: by September 2026Designated Employee Responsible for Corrective Action-Director of Operations-Accounting SpecialistCurrent Year Findings 2025-004 - Program Income Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)Federal Program: Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA)Assistance Listing Number: 14.241Federal Award: [NMH240051], [November 1, 2024 – October 31, 2027]Compliance Requirement: Program Income Known Questions Cost: None Type of Finding: (F, G) Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance of Federal Awards and Instance of Noncompliance related to Federal Awards Statement of Condition During 2025, the Housing Trust received certain repayments of loans originally funded by HOPWA awards. Of this amount, certain amount may have remained unspent or had not been recorded/reconciled in accordance with HUD requirements as of December 31, 2025. Management did not maintain a documented control to identify HOPWA repayment receipts, determine the applicable award requirements, reconcile receipts and expenditures among IDIS, QuickBooks, and the program-income subsidiary record, and document approval of their disposition. Criteria Under 2 CFR 200.307(c), program income earned after a Federal award’s period of performance is subject to Federal requirements only when required by Federal agency regulations or the terms and conditions of the award, and the Federal agency may establish appropriate disposition requirements through closeout. HUD may require HOPWA-funded loan repayments received after the original award period to be recorded as program income.CauseThe Housing Trust had not designed and assigned ownership of a formal program-income and grant-closeout control addressing repayments generated from HOPWA-funded loans after the originating award’s period of performance. Effect Program income may have been subject to incorrect or untimely reporting/use, increasing the risk of noncompliance and misstatement of federal expenditures. Known questioned costs were unknown. RecommendationHousing Trust should implement a documented monthly program-income reconciliation and grant-closeout control that identifies the originating award, applicable HUD disposition requirement, IDIS receipt, QBO classification, eligible use, remaining balance, reviewer approval, and resolution of differences. Evidence of HUD determinations for post-period receipts should be retained with the reconciliation.Views of Responsible Officials: SFCHT acknowledges the finding and notes that the New Mexico HOPWA program is the only documented HUD grant that funds mortgages.Management has established a formal process to identify and track repayments associated with HOPWA-funded loans. Management will maintain a subsidiary program income register that identifies the originating federal award, receipts, applicable HUD disposition requirements, accounting classification, eligible expenditures, and remaining balance. Program income activity will be reconciled monthly among loan-servicing records, QBO, IDIS, and supporting program records. Written HUD determinations regarding post-period repayments will be retained when applicable.Corrective Action Plan TimelineAn onsite meeting with HUD HOPWA representatives is scheduled for September 10, 2026, at the Santa Fe offices. During this meeting, policies and procedures, including the program income policy, will be reviewed and formalized, and a HUD determination log will be established.The HOPWA Program Income Register will be implemented, and repayment schedules for HOPWA loans will be documented in the master loan inventory. Implementation date: July 2026.HOPWA program income will be expended before additional HOPWA IDIS reimbursement requests are approved.A historical review of HOPWA loans and funding sources will be completed. Target date: August 2026.QBO, Portfol, Amerinat, and IDIS will be reconciled monthly. Beginning: July 2026 and ongoing.Post-period repayments and related HUD determinations will be reviewed.

Temple Landing II was funded with PRI with a completion deadline of March 2024. The project applied several times for LIHTC from the Massachusetts EOHLC. With the project unfunded, Management notified CDFI of the delays in the project and the missed completion deadline in April 2025 and again in March 2026. The project has since been awarded 9% LIHTC and is scheduled to close in August 2026. Columbia Crossing was funded with PRI with a completion deadline of April 2025. The project applied several times for LIHTC from the Massachusetts EOHLC. Management notified CDFI of the delays in the project and the missed completion deadline in March 2026. The project was awarded 9% LIHTC and gap financing from MA EOHLC and closed in April 2026. Terri Manor was funded with PRI with a completion deadline of April 2025. The project applied several times for gap financing from the Ohio state HFA. Management notified CDFI of the delays in the project and the missed completion deadline in March 2026. The project won a funding award from HUD’s GRRP program and after delays in program funding is scheduled to close in December 2026. On April 20, 2026, CDFI Fund provided a one-year cure period to March 31, 2027 for all three projects. While it is expected that all three projects will have closings in 2026, construction will not be completed on Temple Landing II and Columbia Crossing until 2027 and Terri Manor until 2028.

Management concurs that stronger documentation surrounding the collection and monitoring of Continuum of Care program income would have strengthened internal controls and the audit trail. The finding relates to a program that has since been discontinued. Throughout the audit period, all program income that was collected was used for allowable program purposes; however, management acknowledges that documentation supporting assessment, collection, monitoring, and reconciliation procedures should have been more comprehensive. Although this activity is no longer part of the Organization's operations, Ability1st has strengthened its overall documentation standards. Should the Organization administer future programs involving program income, written policies and procedures will be implemented prior to program implementation and will include: • documented fee assessment methodology; • collection and deposit procedures; • reconciliation requirements; • supervisory review; • record retention standards; and • periodic internal monitoring.

Finding No. 2025-002 – Failure to Properly Apply Current Federal Poverty Guidelines in the Sliding Fee Discount Program (SFDP) Federal Program: Health Center Program Cluster, ALN 93.224 – U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action Guillermo J. Jiménez Ramos, Chief Financial Officer Views of Responsible Officials Management concurs with the finding. Corrective Action Taken and Planned 1. Resolution of the two identified cases. The Hospital reviewed and resolved the two patient accounts identified in the audit sample in which an incorrect sliding fee discount percentage was applied: • In the first case, the discount applied resulted in a charge to the patient below the amount that corresponded under the correct Federal Poverty Guidelines discount tier, and a lower amount was collected from the patient. Management evaluated the account and determined not to retroactively bill the patient for the remaining difference, consistent with the Hospital’s mission and its policy of not creating barriers to care for patients eligible under the Sliding Fee Discount Program. • In the second case, the Hospital billed and collected from the patient an amount higher than the amount that corresponded under the correct discount tier. This case was resolved and the amount collected in excess of the correctly discounted amount was returned to the patient by check no. 95274, issued on May 29, 2026. Documentation of the refund is retained in the patient’s account file. 2. Questioned cost. The known questioned cost of $245.97 has been repaid and offset by the Hospital. Supporting documentation of the resolution is available for review by the awarding agency. 3. Current Federal Poverty Guidelines implementation. The Sliding Fee Discount Schedule will be updated to the current Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) issued annually by HHS, and a standing procedure will be established requiring that the updated schedule be approved and incorporated into the Hospital’s billing system (eClinicalWorks) within thirty (30) days of the annual publication of the FPG. 4. Review of sliding fee determinations. The review process over sliding fee discount determinations, which had previously been performed by the Billing Department and was later delegated to the information management staff, has been returned to the Billing Department to ensure that discounts are properly applied to patients in accordance with the Sliding Fee Discount Program policies and the updated fee schedule. 5. Strengthened internal controls. A secondary review control will be implemented under which a quarterly sample of new and renewed SFDP eligibility determinations will be re-verified by the Billing Department against the current FPG schedule, income documentation, and household size, with the results documented in a monitoring log subject to review by the Chief Financial Officer. 6. Training. Formal training on the SFDP policy, the current FPG schedule, and the related documentation requirements will be provided to all registration, billing, and eligibility staff, with attendance documented. Refresher training will be provided annually upon each FPG update. Anticipated Completion Date Items 1 and 2 – Completed. Items 3 through 6 – October 31, 2026.

Memo: Cause and Corrective Action Plan for Finding 2025-003 This correspondence serves as Cook County Health (CCH) and Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) response to Finding 2025-003. During the FY2025 Single Audit, one audit finding was identified by Washington, Pittman & McKeever, LLC. The root cause and corrective action plan is identified below. Condition During the current audit period, the Cook County Department of Public Health (DPH) did not comply with federal regulations regarding the use and reporting of program income as it relates to funds awarded through the RWHAP Root Cause Analysis The HIV grants transitioned to CCH from an external organization in July 2025. Award amounts were granted in multiple phases, requiring four budget revisions, with the final revision approved in December 2025. The contractual period covered March 2025 through December 2025. During the transition period, CCH lacked formal operational procedures to identify, record, and track program income. Several operational and administrative challenges contributed to this issue, including: • No written internal procedures were in place to define or track program income requirements. • No formal transition teams were established to identify core grant obligations, resulting in unclear interpretation of sponsor requirements. • CCH had not yet identified the appropriate internal systems or interdepartmental collaborations necessary to retrieve and reconcile program income data. • Organizational priorities during the transition focused on maintaining existing deliverables, including vouchering, budget compliance, hiring, and onboarding of direct and administrative staff. • Staffing Shortages, CCH onboarded personnel quickly as contractual employees, direct staff transitioned onboard as CCH employees in phases upon execution of grant contracts. Corrective Action Plan CCH Director of Grants Accounting is implementing formal written processes and procedures to ensure compliance with Federal Uniform Guidance requirements related to program income. The corrective action plan includes: • Developing standardized written procedures that clearly define program income requirements and tracking responsibilities. • Establishing shared roles and responsibilities across departments to support consistent data collection, reconciliation, and reporting. • Identifying the specific data elements required to accurately record and monitor program income. • Formalizing interdepartmental collaboration processes necessary to retrieve and validate program income information. • Defining the systems and reporting tools that will be used to track and maintain program income records. • Providing staff training on program income requirements, documentation standards, and compliance expectations. These actions will strengthen internal controls and ensure timely, accurate identification and tracking of program income moving forward, official approval/implementation is expected December 2026
Management agrees controls over dual counts of program income should be complied with and will follow up with centers that do not comply with controls.

Reporting of Prior Year Program Income Auditor Description of Criteria, Condition, and Effect: In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.307, program income must be used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the federal award and must be accounted for and reported accurately. Recipients are required to reconcile program income received and expended during the grant period to ensure it is used for allowable purposes and properly reflected in financial reports. Failure to reconcile and report program income may result in noncompliance with federal grant regulations and could impact the allowability of costs charged to the award. The County recognized a substantial amount of program income during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, for program income that was received in prior periods but incorrectly reported as unearned over many years. It is unclear what portion of this prior year unearned revenue was reported to the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") through the Integrated Disbursement and Information System ("IDIS") now that the revenue has been properly recognized in the general ledger. The County has a risk of inaccurately reporting program income to HUD. The County is also exposed to an increased risk noncompliance could occur and not be prevented or detected by the County's internal controls. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend the County review its prior year records to determine which portion of the currently recognized revenue has already been reported to HUD. Additionally, the County's Neighborhood and Housing Development ("NHD") department should coordinate with HUD to establish the appropriate approach for reporting and expending this program income going forward. Corrective Action: An in-depth review of all program income activity dating back to 1995 is currently underway within both the general ledger and the IDIS system. The purpose of this review is to determine the total amount of program income received and reported to HUD. Upon completion of the review, the County will collaborate with HUD to determine the appropriate use and expenditure of the identified funds in accordance with applicable program requirements. Responsible Persons: Khadija Walker-Fobbs Neighborhood and Housing Development Officer, Curtis Smith, Chief, Neighborhood and Housing Development and Brian J. Lefler, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: September 2026

Finding 2025-001: Rural Rental Housing Loans Assistance Listing Number: 10.415 U.S. Department of Agriculture (Repeat of Finding 2024-001) Compliance Requirement: Eligibility, Program Income Type of finding: Internal Control Over Compliance (significant deficiency) Recommendation: The Organization should strengthen its internal controls with adopted policies and procedures to ensure a review process is established through adequate segregation of duties. The Organization should consider assessing and realigning the duties and responsibilities of the Executive Director, Administrative Assistant, and Alamosa Property Manager to provide for a review process of tenant eligibility determinations and the monthly housing assistance payment requests for the Sierra Vista Alamosa Housing Complex. Action Taken: This finding was from the actions of the pervious on-site manager, concerning the Alamosa Complex only. Sierra Vista/Alamosa Complex has already implemented the internal control concerning compliance in house. Priscilla and Alonzo will make sure that all internal compliance issues are segregated and check by at least 2 persons in the office, and if needed, the Executive Director can request viewing of internal control procedures as well. Alonzo and Priscilla prepare and review along with signatures of the review and approval dates of internal affairs. "This institution is an equal opportunity provider." If there are questions regarding this plan, please call the responsible party at (719)852-5505. Sincerely yours, Corinna Garcia Executive Director Monte Vista Community Center Housing Authority, Inc.

During the period that was reported on the finding, the manager in charge of the CDGB-MIT program was taking on additional workload while carrying out onboarding and training procedures for the program coordinator that would be assigned to assist with carrying out both programatic and administrative duties under the grant. Although the coordinator's training period concurred with the report's deadline, causing the one-day delay in submitting the required information, subsequent reports are being completed in a timely manner due to the addition of program personnel.
