View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan We acknowledge that the purchase of gift cards was not an allowable expense under federal grant guidelines. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our staff were tasked with responding to urgent and overwhelming public health demands, particularly as the New Mexico Department of Health became overextended. To recognize staff who went above and beyond to ensure timely case reporting and investigations for tribal communities, gift cards were used as a form of appreciation. Corrective Action Plan Timeline Moving forward, we will ensure full compliance with federal grant requirements. Specifically: 1. We will adhere strictly to the cost principles and allowability guidance outlined in federal regulations and the terms of each Notice of Award. 2. In instances where the allowability of an expense is unclear, we will proactively seek guidance and written approval from our Federal Grant Management Officer before incurring the cost. 3. We will provide refresher training to program and fiscal staff on allowable costs under federal awards to prevent recurrence of similar findings. These corrective actions will ensure future expenditures are fully compliant with federal guidelines and that staff recognition practices remain appropriate, allowable, and consistent with award terms. Corrective Action Plan Timeline • Immediate (Already in Effect): Ceased use of gift cards and other unallowable incentives. • Within 30 Days: Finance and program leadership will review current grant guidance and distribute a written summary of allowable/unallowable costs to all program managers. • Within 60 Days: Refresher training on federal cost principles (2 CFR 200) and Notice of Award guidance will be provided to all program and fiscal staff. • Ongoing: When ambiguity exists regarding allowable costs, staff will consult with the Federal Grant Management Officer prior to obligating or expending funds. Designation of Employee Position Responsible for Meeting Deadline Program Managers/Directors, Finance Officer, and Accounting Manager.

Audit Finding Reference: 2022-002 Corrective Action Taken or Planned: 1. Formalized Record Retention Policies: A formal record retention policy specific to federal grant programs will be implemented to ensure full compliance with 2 CFR 200.334. This policy will apply regardless of whether documentation is stored internally or by third-party systems. Any documentation downloaded or transferred from third-party systems will be subject to a review process to verify completeness and accuracy before being finalized for County retention. The County shall also take steps to ensure that information downloads and exports from third-party systems represent omplete and accurate records. 2. Audit Timing Advocacy and Preparedness: The County will continue to maintain timely documentation and preparedness for audits and will also advocate for timely initiation and completion of future audits. Significant delays in the audit process, through no fault of the County, as observed during the FY2022 audit, substantially impacted the County's ability to access necessary documentation and demonstrate compliance. Although the County made every effort to retain records in accordance with federal requirements, the timing of the audit fieldwork occurred well after the program had concluded in May 2023. Had the audit been conducted in a timely manner, full access to the third-party platform used for program administration would have been available, along with all supporting documentation. However, by the time the audit took place, the program had been closed for over 18 months, and access to the external software system had lapsed in accordance with the expiration of the service agreement. 3. Internal Audit Readiness Reviews: Beginning with FY2025, the County will conduct internal audit readiness reviews shortly after fiscal year-end to ensure all documentation for closed federal programs is centralized, archived, and accessible for future audit purposes, even if conducted years later. Anticipated Completion Date: October 15, 2025 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Charles Nickerson, Senior Director of Finance

1. Enhance Document Retention Procedures: *We will update our document retention policy to clearly define retention periods for payroll-related records, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. This will include retaining all necessary documentation such as payroll reports, tax filings, and third-party payroll contracts. *A secure, organized system will be implemented for storing payroll-related documents, whether physical or digital. This will include utilizing secure cloud storage or an enterprise document management system with restricted access controls. *We will conduct a quarterly review to ensure that documents are being retained for the appropriate time frame and securely disposed of when no longer required. 2. Implement Stronger Controls During Payroll Provider Transitions: *We will formalize and document the process for changing third-party payroll providers. This process will include detailed steps for due diligence, transition planning, data transfer procedures, and ensuring continuous payroll processing during the transition period. *A project team will be assigned for every payroll provider change to ensure proper planning, including backup and contingency plans, data verification, and communication with both internal and external stakeholders. *A comprehensive review of the transition will be conducted after each change, including a reconciliation of payroll records to ensure that all data is accurately transferred, and all systems are functioning properly. 3. Vendor Oversight and Service Level Agreements (SLAs): *We will ensure that future contracts with third-party payroll providers include clear Service Level Agreements (SLAs) outlining the provider's responsibilities in terms of document retention, data security, and transition procedures. This will ensure that providers maintain the necessary standards and practices for managing payroll-related documents.
