Views of Responsible Officials at Auditee: We recognize that the necessary documentation was unavailable during the audit. To address this issue, we are collaborating with professionals to ensure that all documentation is properly generated and securely stored for future retrieval of processes that we already have in place. We have engaged a new bookkeeping firm to assist us in continuing consistent monthly processes and accurate documentation. Additionally, we are implementing a monthly checklist to track our internal controls, highlighting our ongoing review and approval processes. We will ensure that all expenses are reviewed monthly and approved with initials by either the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial & Outreach Officer on invoices and receipts. This review will also encompass all bank and credit card statements. Furthermore, we will ensure that all staff compensation documents are updated and reviewed annually to keep them current. This comprehensive process will form an integral part of our financial internal control checklist. While we have established internal controls, recent staff changes during the audit process made it challenging to locate all necessary documentation. This absence of documentation stemmed from these transitions, and we are actively working to improve our documentation procedures moving forward.

Community Health Center in Cowley County, Inc. acknowledges the repeat finding regarding application of sliding fee discounts. To address this, we have: • Continued weekly meetings between frontline staff and the billing/revenue department to reinforce policy alignment. • Enhanced and formalized training programs for all staff involved in eligibility screening and discount application. • Updated our Financial and Sliding Fee policies to clarify procedures and eligibility criteria. These actions are part of our ongoing commitment to improving internal controls and ensuring compliance with federal program requirements. Effectiveness will be monitored through periodic audits and staff feedback.

Management agrees to maintain separate trial balances for the allocation of cash, property and equipment, interest rate swap asset and loans payable between Palmyra Area Interfaith Housing Council and Palmyra Interfaith Manor HUD Project No. 034-EH015. Management notes that this represents a difference of opinion from the prior auditors, who found the financial records of the two entities to be properly reconciled through the use of schedules to separate the council and project’s allocation of cash, property and equipment, interest rate swap asset and loans payable between the Council and the Project for 19 years with no consequence.

Views of Responsible Officials: CIF grew substantially in FY 24 following execution of the Federal award. This finding reflects the learning phase as CIF came into compliance with the Uniform Guidance. This FY 24 Program Audit immediately preceded the FY 25 Single Audit in fall 2025. Given this timing, the earliest possible implementation of corrective action is in FY 26. Beginning in FY 26, CIF implemented a system for documenting time and effort in a manner that complies with Federal requirements which involves timesheets that record actual time spent on a funding source and are accompanied by supervisorial approvals. This system has been formally documented in the FY 26 update to the CIF Financial Policy and includes annual training for staff responsible for managing payroll allocations and Federal reporting. Charges to Federal awards for salaries and wages are now based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. The records are supported by a system of internal control that provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable, and properly allocated. The records support the distribution of the employee's salary or wages among specific activities or cost objectives if the employee works on more than one Federal award; a Federal award and non-Federal award; an indirect cost activity and a direct cost activity; two or more indirect activities allocated using different allocation bases; or an unallowable activity and a direct or indirect cost activity.

Finding 2024-002 Delta Regional Authority ( material weakness): Management recognizes the significance of properly segregating transactions relating to restricted grant programs in our accounting software. To address this issue, we will: 1. Reprogram Accounting Software: We will work with our software vendor to reprogram or adjust our accounting software to ensure that it can effectively segregate transactions related to restricted grants from other general ledger activities. 2. Revise Account Code Structure: We will review and redefine our general ledger account code structure to create more detailed categories that support accurate tracking and reporting of restricted funds. 3. Training for Staff: We will provide training for relevant staff on the updated accounting procedures to ensure they understand how to correctly use the new accounting software features and reporting structures. 4. Hire grant accountant: We have contracted a Grants Accountant who has already began organizing and file maintenance of grant records as well as working with the CFO, staff accountant and Grants Administrator to consolidate files, records, and supporting documentation for all active grants affecting the current fiscal year and FY 2025. II. Other Cause and Effect Management acknowledges that these weaknesses were caused by oversight from responsible employees and recognizes the risks associated with material misstatements and potential fraudulent activity. To mitigate these risks, we will enhance our internal controls, ensure accountability, and promote a culture of compliance and vigilance within the organization. Conclusion Management is committed to improving our internal controls over financial reporting to ensure compliance with federal regulations and enhance the accuracy of our financial statements. We appreciate the recommendations provided and will implement these corrective actions in a timely manner to strengthen our financial practices and restore stakeholder confidence. We will keep the board informed of our progress in addressing these material weaknesses. Management is dedicated to resolving these material weaknesses in a timely manner and will implement the recommended actions to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting. We will keep the Board updated on our progress and provide necessary training for our staff to ensure adherence to new procedures. We appreciate the auditors' recommendations and are committed to making the necessary improvements to foster greater transparency and accountability in our financial reporting practices. Finding 2024-002 Delta Regional Authority (Material Weakness) – Accounting has worked with the Abilla System program coordinators and have set up codes within the accounting system to identify grants, restricted and unrestricted, for more effective reporting and identification.

AHC has revised its patient intake procedures to ensure that all required documentation is collected and verified at the point of service. An electronic eligibility checklist has been integrated into the EHR, and staff have been trained to collect alternative income documentation where appropriate. Monthly audits of ten patient files per site are conducted, and exceptions are logged and resolved within ten business days. Policies and procedures have been updated to reflect documentation and compliance standards. Ongoing monitoring and periodic staff retraining continue to support program integrity and compliance with federal requirements. Moving forward, responsibility for managing the sliding fee discount process will transition from front-desk personnel to the Revenue Cycle department to ensure stronger oversight and accountability.

AHC has fully implemented enhanced reconciliation procedures to ensure that all grant drawdowns are reconciled to the general ledger prior to submission, with supporting documentation retained electronically. Quarterly internal audits of drawdown packets are conducted to ensure compliance with federal requirements. These improvements eliminate timing discrepancies and strengthen federal cash management controls. All federal expenditures year-to-date have been verified. It is important to note that AHC did not maintain a single consolidated record of drawdown support but instead retained multiple supporting documents. Despite this documentation issue, all drawdowns were found to be in compliance with HRSA guidelines and were determined to represent allowable costs.

Corrective Action Plan For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 Finding Reference Number: 2023-001 Finding Title: Late Submission of Single Audit Report Corrective Action Plan: INDESOVI de P.R., Inc. acknowledges the late filing of the Single Audit Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The report was submitted on February 27, 2025, which was 150 days after the required deadline of September 30, 2024. To correct and prevent recurrence of this finding, the following steps have been implemented:  Compliance Calendar: A compliance calendar has been developed and implemented to track all key federal reporting deadlines, including the Single Audit Report due date.  Assignment of Responsibility: The Controller has been designated as responsible for monitoring audit progress and ensuring timely submission of the audit package to the FAC.  Earlier Audit Scheduling: Audit planning and fieldwork will be scheduled earlier in the fiscal year to allow sufficient time for completion of audit procedures and report submission.  Oversight by Management: Senior management will review the compliance calendar quarterly to verify that all reporting requirements are on track for timely completion. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action plan has already been implemented as of March 2025.

Response to finding 2024-004 – Reporting Views of Responsible Officials: CSforALL management agrees with the conditions identified by SAX Advisory Group, including the noted causes and resulting effects under 2024-004. During the audit period, recordkeeping was not centrally maintained, and key documents were often stored under individual employee drives rather than within a shared, organization-controlled system. Due to the organizational pause at the end of 2024 and the transition period throughout 2025, the Organization had limited capacity to implement formal reporting controls; however, foundational corrective steps were initiated in 2025 to support full compliance during the 2026 operating year. This finding continued into the 2024 audit period due to the decentralized recordkeeping practices described above. Corrective Action taken in 2025: The Operations Manager conducted a full triage of existing accounts and transferred organizational documents into centralized CSforALL Drives. Files were reorganized by year and subject matter to ensure accessibility, consistency, and proper retention. This restructured system now provides a unified location for all grant-related documents, reporting records, and compliance materials, establishing a baseline for future Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Corrective Action Planned for 2026: Beginning in 2026, CSforALL will implement formalized policies and procedures to ensure records are maintained in accordance with applicable compliance requirements and that all Uniform Guidance reports are submitted timely. The Operations Manager and Accounting team will oversee ongoing documentation, retention, and periodic internal review to ensure the reporting structure remains organized, accessible, and compliant throughout the 2026 operating year and beyond.

Reference Number: 2024-002 Program: 21.027 CORONAVIRUS STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS Condition: The December 31, 2023 reporting package dated November 7, 2025 was submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) in November 2025. Recommendation: Review total federal funding each year and engage or amend auditor engagement letter as necessary to ensure a single audit is performed if federal funding received during the year exceeds the limit for single audit completion. Current Status: The recommendation will be adopted by June 2026. Management’s Response: Management understands the audit findings and the associated risks and will take the appropriate action to monitor the need for single audits in the future.
Reference Number: 2024-001 Internal control material weakness Program: 21.027 CORONAVIRUS STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS Condition: The agreements to receive these grants and loan them out to a specific development project were signed in July and October 2024 for $648,718 and $525,000, respec...
Reference Number: 2024-001 Internal control material weakness Program: 21.027 CORONAVIRUS STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDS Condition: The agreements to receive these grants and loan them out to a specific development project were signed in July and October 2024 for $648,718 and $525,000, respectively. The funds for the July agreement of $648,718 were received by the entity and paid back out to the development project. The $648,718 was recorded to the general ledger twice. It was recorded once when the funds were received and paid out to the development project and a second time when the Organization was closings its books for the fiscal year. When the funds were paid out to the development, the funds were also incorrectly recorded as an expense instead of a loan receivable. Recommendation: The Organization should employ financial literate staff who are familiar with GAAP accounting to ensure financial transactions are recorded in accordance with current accounting standards. Also, the Organization should implement a process for a final detailed review of financial data when performing post-closing audit adjustments to ensure proper and complete capture of all transactions. Current Status: The recommendation is in process of being implemented. Management’s Response: Management understands the audit findings and the associated risks and will take the appropriate action to hire either staff or vendors with appropriate financial statement review skills and knowledge of GAAP. The organization will implement a process for a final detailed financial statement review before providing final yearend financial statements to the auditors.

CONDITION: During the calendar year 2024, the City did not record the necessary adjustments to the various ‘Fund’ general ledgers of the City to properly reconcile the balance sheet accounts, such as cash, receivables, payables, and payroll-related liabilities to the underlying supporting documentation available at the City (which includes reconciliations of cash prepared independently by City personnel but do not agree to amounts reported in the various general ledgers). This included ‘Funds” containing significant federal funding such as the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund.CONDITION (Continued): As a result, the financial position and results of operations as shown throughout the calendar year were inaccurately stated. However, it should be noted that the Community Development Department of the City and other City personnel maintain separate financial reporting for these federal funds, independent of the aforementioned ‘Fund’ general ledgers sufficient to ascertain the revenues and expenditures of the federal programs. This is a repeat finding (2023-001) for the prior year. CRITERIA: Prudent internal control procedures in the areas of general ledger management and financial reporting include the reconciliation of all general ledger account balances to underlying supporting documentation monthly with independent oversight and approval as part of the process. In specific as it relates to federal programs, Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance requires that federal costs must be adequately documented which would include the applicable general ledgers of the City. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: Management of the City is continuing their review of the recommended options as presented by the Audit Firm’s recommendation for feasibility considering current manpower, expertise, and budgetary constraints. In addition, the City plans to ensure that written procedures for all accounting functions are implemented, reviewed and updated as necessary with the objective of ensuring that all balance sheet account balances are supported by the underlying documentation available at the City. The timeframe for completion of this review will occur during the first nine months of calendar year 2026 with the intention of having the City be in full compliance with Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance which requires federal costs to be adequately documented which would include the applicable general ledgers of the City.
