The Corporation contacted the local Continuum of Care and regional HUD office in an effort to verify the required number of units occupied by individuals meeting the definition of "homeless". The local Continuum of Care had no record of the original grant agreement or required number of "homeless" to be served. The Corporation contacted three staff in the regional HUD office, including the staff that had been our representative for annually renewed operation and support service grants for the two projects. Regional HUD staff were not able to provide a copy of the original grant agreements which would indicate the number of persons to be served by each project. HUD staff stated that they do not keep copies of grant agreements longer than seven years. Corporation management will continue to work with HUD personnel to determine the continuing compliance requirements of the Continuum of Care funding received for initial construction or rehabilitation. Corporation management will continue to serve individuals meeting the definition of homelessness at its two projects and document evidence in the file.

Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Robert E. Brown II, CPA 25 Cemetery Street P.O. Box 230 Mendon, Massachusetts 01756 Audit period: 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 of expenditures of federal awards. Finding 2024-001 – Education Stabilization Fund – AL No. 84.425U Department of Education Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Other Matters Related to Internal Control over Compliance of the Major Program Criteria: Where employees work solely or partially on a single Federal program or cost objective, their salaries or wages must be supported by periodic certification that the employee worked on this program for the period covered by the program. The certifications should be prepared at least semi-annually, and should be signed by the employee or supervisory official having first-hand knowledge of the work performed by the employee. Condition: During our test of controls over compliance with time and effort certifications the Town was not able to provide evidence that the required certifications of time and effort for those employees whose time was spent either completely or partially spent on this program was performed as required by Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: Unknown Context: During our test of payroll transactions of the major program (Education Stabilization Fund) it was noted that 2 of the employees charged to this major program had time and effort certifications that were only completed annually as opposed to being prepared at least semi-annually. Effect: The Town was not in compliance with the time and effort certification requirements. Cause: In Fiscal Year 2024, the employee in charge of grant management was under the assumption that annual time and effort certifications were sufficient. Individuals involved with the grants were informed in Fiscal Year 2025 that semi-annual time and effort certifications were required. Identification as a Repeat Finding: N/A Recommendation: We recommend the Town of Foxborough follow procedures to ensure that semi-annual certifications and/or monthly certifications are prepared and signed by either the employees and/or supervisory official having first-hand knowledge of the work performed by the employees in a timely manner in order to comply with the time and effort certification requirement. Responsible for Corrective Plan: Karin Sheridan, School Business Administrator Estimated Completion Date: This process of semi-annually began with Fiscal Year 2025.

Management agrees with this finding. Parkview Services will adopt and implement a written policy by October 31st, 2025 that strictly prohibits the use of federal funds for any non-program purpose, including temporary inter-fund loans. The policy will require that all federal program cash remain in the designated account until disbursed for documented, allowable purposes in accordance with federal regulations and grant agreements. Any transfers from the federal account will require pre-approval from the Finance Director, written justification, and documentation that the expenditure is allowable under the grant. The organization will also incorporate additional cash-flow monitoring procedures to prevent situations where federal funds might be considered for operational use. To address related reconciliation issues, the bank reconciliation process will include a review of the federal account by the Board Vice President or Treasurer within 30 days of month-end, starting with the September 30th reconciliation. This reviewer will verify that all transactions are allowable, properly documented, and recorded in the correct period. Any discrepancies will be immediately investigated and resolved.

Finding 2024-05 Inadequate System of Internal Controls over Benefit Limitation Condition: The Organization is required by the federal grant award to limit eligible client families to a maximum of eleven diapering supply "package" distributions per participating child over the course of the grant agreement period. While the program design includes efforts to control this requirement, the eligibility database lacks the capability to assign or track unique participant identifiers needed to reliably enforce this limit. Additionally, there is no documentation to demonstrate that processes related to benefit limits are periodically reviewed or monitored. Due to the nature of recordkeeping in this area, testing compliance is challenging. Although no instances of noncompliance were identified in the sample tested, the Organization has not implemented an adequate system of internal controls to ensure consistent compliance with this grant criterion. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organization will transition to Pantry Soft a new CRM to track benefit limitation and mandatory documentation. We will include mandatory eligibility fields and document upload requirements before service can be recorded. We will develop a standardized eligibility checklist to be completed for all new and returning participants. Staff will be trained on Pantry Soft usage, eligibility requirements and document retention stands.

Finding 2024-04 Insufficient Documentation Supporting Eligibility Determination Condition: The Organization uses a database to collect and store documentation related to eligibility determinations for program participants. While this tool was used consistently throughout the year, the audit identified a lack of documented review procedures to verify that eligibility criteria were appropriately assessed and that all required documentation was obtained and retained. There is no established process to review or confirm the completeness and accuracy of eligibility documentation within the database. As a result, three of the sixty transactions tested did not include sufficient documentation to support eligibility determinations, representing instances of noncompliance with the eligibility requirements under the federal program. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organization will transition to Pantry Soft, a new CRM to centralize client records, eligibility documentation and service dates. We will include mandatory eligibility fields and document upload requirements before service can be recorded. We will develop a standardized eligibility checklist to be completed for all new and returning participants.

Finding 2024-03 Insufficient Documentation of Other Direct Expenses Condition: During testing of direct costs charged to the federal program, the Organization did not maintain sufficient documentation to fully support all expenditures claimed. In one instance, a receipt supporting a claimed expense was missing. In three additional cases, although the expenditures were generally supported, the documentation did not clearly reflect how the amounts allocated to the major federal program were determined. While these issues were isolated and the known and likely questioned costs were immaterial, the lack of complete documentation represents noncompliance with federal requirements for allowable costs. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organization will develop written guidelines specifying the required supporting documentation for each type of direct expense. Set up vendors in QuickBooks. We will hire and train Finance Manager to manage and track revenue and expenses, QuickBooks, grant reporting etc. All receipts and expenses will be scanned in and kept electronically. The Organization will provide training on documentation requirements, proper record submission, and compliance expectations.

Finding 2024-02 Insufficient Documentation of Personnel Expenses Condition: The Organization charges a material amount of payroll-related costs to its major federal program. However, it does not maintain sufficient documentation to support the level of effort charged to the award, as required by federal regulations. While staff members are required to complete timesheets, the current format does not capture the level of detail needed to substantiate payroll allocations to federal programs. Additionally, there is no formal process for supervisory review and approval of these timesheets. Although no overcharges or double-dipping were identified, the lack of adequate documentation results in known and likely questioned costs due to noncompliance with documentation requirements. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Organization will develop and implement a standardized timesheet template (Gusto) that captures employee name, pay period, hours worked by funding source, and supervisory approval. Provide mandatory training for all staff whose salaries are charged in whole or in part to grants on documentation and time allocation requirements. Require monthly reconciliation of time sheets to payroll records before submission to grants. The Organization will conduct quarterly internal reviews to ensure compliance and adjust as needed.

The Chickahominy Indian Tribe respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2024. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Brown, Edwards & Company, L.L.P. 1909 Financial Drive Harrisonburg, Virginia 22801 Audit period: December 31, 2024 The findings from the December 31, 2024 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (the “Schedule”) are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the Schedule. FINDINGS – FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT 2024-001: Material Audit Adjustments (Material Weakness) Condition: Multiple material audit adjustments were proposed. Criteria: Financial information should be materially correct. Cause: The Tribe switched from using an excel spreadsheet to an accounting software for tracking financial information in 2023. During the year, there were reconciliation issues between the software and the spreadsheet which did not get resolved. Material audit adjustments needed to be made to ensure the accuracy of the financial statement, but the cumulative effect of these entries was significantly less than in the prior year. Effect: Audit adjustments were required to ensure the financial statements are materially correct. Recommendation: We do not consider it necessary to reconcile between the Tribal Ledger and Abila; however, we strongly encourage adding a procedure to the monthly bank reconciliations. Bank deposits should be matched to Abila revenue, and bank disbursements to Abila expenses. This will ensure revenues and expenses are properly recorded in addition to ending cash balances being reconciled. Corrective Action: The accounting software is the only source of accounting information now. The Tribal Ledger is no longer being maintained. We continue to learn the intricacies of the new software and the proper way to use it. We are instituting a more formal schedule for review of accounting entries, to ensure they are done in a more timely manner. We have been developing a handbook which will list proper procedures, including proper entry of non- typical transactions. It will also include the procedure for bank reconciliation. We anticipate that material audit adjustments will not be required in the future. FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS – MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT 2024-002: Child Care Development Fund Cluster ALN 93.575 and 93.596 Condition There was one expenditure tested under the CCDF American Rescue Plan Act Child Care Supplementary Discretionary grant that did not get obligated by the required date. Criteria Funds should be obligated by the end of the succeeding federal fiscal year after award and expended by the end of the third federal fiscal year. Cause The CCDF ARP Supplementary Discretionary grant was the only grant that did not receive a federal extension or Tribal waiver. The Tribe was under the impression that all CCDF grants would have waivers. Effect One item was not obligated by the required date, total $13,604. Perspective Information One tested of one in the ARP discretionary, but one of 25 in all CCDF. Recommendation We recommend establishing a formal policy regarding definitions of obligation and liquidation. This should be formally approved by Council with a resolution. Corrective Action: During a meeting prior to the end of the obligation period, we decided how we would use the referenced funds. We documented that decision in the meeting minutes and believed we had met the obligation requirements. The Funding Agency was satisfied with our explanation of the funds being considered obligated, as Tribes can define obligation in their own terms. However, the actual contract wasn’t executed until after the obligation period was over. In addition, we also thought the obligation and liquidation periods for this particular grant had been extended along with those of similar grants that we have from this agency, but realized later that they had not been. We immediately started a review at the beginning of each month of all grants to determine those whose obligation period ends that month. We also review at that time for grants whose liquidation period ends that month. When either of these occurs, I issue a notification to FinanceStaff to make them aware. I also notify the manager of those grants to ensure they are aware of the obligation and liquidation deadlines. We will also review our Financial Policy and clarify our definition of Obligation as needed. If the Federal Audit Clearinghouse has questions regarding this plan, please call Wayne Adkins, First Assistant Chief and Finance Officer at 804-829-2027.

Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2024-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Housing Quality Standards Inspections. The PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least biennially to determine if the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the PHA must conduct quality control re-inspections. The PHA must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)). For units that fail inspection the PHA must correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours and all other deficiencies within 30 days. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there was a failed inspection that did not pass reinspection within 30 days without penalty. Context: There were approximately six hundred ninety four (694) failed inspections during the audit period. Of a sample size of twenty-five (25) failed inspections, one (1) unit did not pass reinspection within 30 days. HAP was not abated nor was the tenant transferred. Known Questioned Costs: $5,322 Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement a corrective action plan that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement.

Finding 2024.003 – Cash Management Recommendation The Center should develop written procedures to review all drawdowns that occur to ensure accuracy. Not a repeat finding. Action Taken Since September 2023, the Center has implemented weekly grants management reviews with the grants team and key executives. Action items are tracked through meeting agendas, minutes, and NMH’s project management platform, Monday.com. Meetings include invoice approvals for grant-funded expenditures, and review of allocations, payroll dates, and stipends for drawing down calculations. The meetings going forward will document the amounts for federal grants drawdowns and will be logged within Monday.com and through an external verification spreadsheet. Starting May 2025, an updated verification spreadsheet along with an itemized attestation was implemented.
