Boys and Girls Club of Dumplin Valley respectfully submits the follow corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2023. Purkey, Carter, Compton, Swann, & Carter, PLLC P.O. Box 727 Morristown, TN 37815 Audit period: January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023 The finding from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Section A of the schedule, Summary of Audit Results, does not include the finding and is not addressed. FINDINGS – FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT None FINDINGS – FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDIT FINDING NO. 2023-001: The Organization did not timely submit audited financial statements to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Criteria: The Organization is required to submit audited financial statements to OMB 30 days after the date of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the fiscal year end, whichever comes first. Cause of Condition: The Organization did not have systems in place to submit the audited financial statements within the required time period. Recommendation: Auditor recommends management implement systems to ensure audited financial statements are submitted to OMB within the required time period. Action Taken: In 2022, the Organization received a funding award of $1.2 million in ARPA from the Tennessee Department of Human Services (DHS). However, the Organization did not receive any reimbursements until 2024. During this period, the Organization was holding and waiting for reimbursements, which required readjusting funds throughout the year. Additionally, the funds moved the Organization into the Single Audit category, which is rare for the Organization. To remedy these findings and improve our financial management processes in the future, we have implemented new systems and procedures. These include: · Enhanced Financial Tracking: The Organization has adopted a more robust financial tracking system to monitor fund allocations and reimbursements more effectively. · Regular Financial Reviews: The Organization will conduct quarterly financial reviews to ensure timely adjustments and avoid significant disruptions. · Improved Communication with Funding Agencies: The Organization has established a dedicated team to maintain regular communication with funding agencies to expedite the reimbursement process. · Timely Submission of Audited Financial Statements: The Organization has put systems in place to ensure that audited financial statements are submitted to the Office of Management and Budget within the required time period. This includes setting internal deadlines and reminders to meet the 30 day submission requirement after the issuance of the auditor’s report or none months after the fiscal year end, whichever comes first. · Audit Preparation: The Organization will commit to providing all necessary audit items to auditors in the first quarter of each year moving forward. These measures are designed to ensure better financial stability and compliance, preventing similar issues in the future. Very truly yours, Christina Baker-Smith, Chief Administrative Officer Boys and Girls Club of Dumplin Valley

Finding 2023-003 Noncompliance-Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Material Weakness ALN 93.958 Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services Pass-through Entity Identification Number GRK 213195 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Minnesota Department of Human Services Condition: The system used for processing transactions does not include documentation that transactions have been reviewed for compliance with OMB regulations, before they are charged to a federal grant. Actions Planned in Response to the Finding: With the hiring of a full-time staff accountant within the next 2 weeks, the organization will engage in the design, documentation, and implementation of a system of internal control measures that meet the requirement of OMB Uniform Guidance. The in-house accountant will obtain additional training in Uniform Guidance and federal grant management so that a system of internal control over compliance can be installed. Specifically, the new in-house accountant will ensure that transactions have been reviewed for compliance with OMB regulations before they are charged a federal grant.

Finding 2023-002 Noncompliance-Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Material Weakness ALN 93.958 Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services Pass-through Entity Identification Number GRK 213195 U. S. Department of Health and Human Services Minnesota Department of Human Services Condition: Employee time sheets do not identify the hours charged to each federal grant, and do not identify hours worked by employees on non-federal grants. Actions Planned in Response to the Finding: The timeline for hiring an in-house accountant is very compressed. The in-house accountant will undergo various training on Uniform Guidance and federal grant management. These training programs will help the organization to create a system of time and effort reporting that will meet the Standards for Documentation of Personnel Expenses included in OMB Uniform Guidance. Specifically, time sheets will be redesigned to ensure that employees record hours charged to each federal grant, any other projects, and administrative time.

Please contact Akinyele Akinsanya at 763-522-0100. Finding 2023-001 Noncompliance-Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Material Weakness ALN 93.958 Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services Pass-through Entity Identification Number GRK 213195 U. S. Department of Health and Human Services Minnesota Department of Human Services Condition: Expenses charged to the federal grant cannot be traced into the Organization’s general ledger. Invoices submitted to the pass-through agency for reimbursement also cannot be traced into the general ledger. Actions Planned in Response to the Finding: It is clear to management that the Organization needs to boost its accounting team to fulfil effective reporting that could easily be traced into the organization’s general ledger. As a result, the organization will recruit and hire a full-time accountant to work with the current team. Further steps may be required including replacing the organization’s current accounting software that will identify and record expenditure specific to each cost centers for each federal grant. The in-house accountant will also be required to obtain additional training in Uniform Guidance and federal grant management and create a system of financial reporting to record expenditure directly to each federal grant award.

Management has assessed that all supporting documentation that was unable to be provided for audit support was related to transactions that occurred on the legacy accounting system. The legacy accounting system did not allow for centralized/shared data storage, and as a result, it caused personnel to store information in different locations. In May 2023, the organization made the transition to the new accounting system where data can easily be centralized/shared. Management has also implemented policies and procedures that require review of documents within the accounting system prior to approval, thus creating internal controls to prevent a lack of supporting documentation for future reporting periods.

Audit Finding Reference: 2023-013 Management’s Response and Planned Corrective Action: We currently do not have a grant accountant, but a second pair of eyes would make it easier to manage our federal activities fund. Someone to help reconcile and be a second approver on journal entries + adjusting entries would be a huge source of stability in this area. Management will work with financial support on ensuring our discrepancies are resolved, while we also revamp and complete new grant related procedures – such as monthly reconciliations, timely monthly reporting of expenses/reimbursement, and filing to sure up and make this fund reviewable/auditable. Management has been working to track in an aggregate format – the status of each grant on a live document – which the board has access too so they can see when a grant falls behind. Unfortunately, when management first identified these issues, some grants were behind in reporting to almost a full calendar year, causing issues with getting the fund caught back up to date.

Below is Housing Forward’s response to the audit finding for fiscal year 1/1/2023 through 12/31/2023. Federal Award Finding Finding 2023-001: Allowable costs and activities – significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and compliance finding specific to payroll allocation.  Funding Source: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds ALN 21.027 (CSLFRF).  Condition: During allowable cost and activities testing for the CSLFRF grant, 2 out of 40 timesheets tested did not agree to the number of hours charged to the grant.  Cause: Although the 2 timesheets were filled out completely, signed and reviewed by a supervisor, there was an error in the data entry into the accounting software. Amounts were calculated correctly but inadvertently assigned to the wrong grant. GL detail was provided to the funder as part of the monthly reporting, but neither the funder nor Housing Forward staff noticed this error.  Management’s Response: Management understands the importance of correctly charging time to funders. Housing Forward will continue its timesheet review process and utilize employee timesheets that clearly indicate funding sources and allocate payroll costs based on these records. Housing Forward will implement a second review of the payroll entry at the time it is entered into the accounting system to ensure that errors are corrected before payroll costs are charged to funders. This began in January 2025. The second reviewer will be the VP of Finance/CFO or her designee. In later FY25 the organization also plans to implement a timekeeping software that integrates with the accounting software to prevent future data entry errors. Sincerely, Sarah Kahn Sarah Kahn President & CEO

Condition: Controls did not identify that expenses submitted to the State were outside of the period of performance. Planned Corrective Action: Background: Sinai began the process of risk assessment in the government grants area at the end of 2022. At that time, Sinai engaged outside counsel to assist in this process. In December of 2023, Sinai created the Office of Government Grant Administration (OGGA) and developed a comprehensive grant compliance policy and procedure. The Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board was updated on this initiative. In 2024, the OGGA created a Grant Compliance Manual which sets forth processes and procedures in grant management to ensure compliance with government regulations. Unfortunately, these controls were not implemented until after the relevant time period at issue in this audit. In 2025, Sinai is continuing to improve its compliance procedures with respect to government grants, and has developed the following plan: 1. Working Group: Sinai will implement a process of convening a Working Group for each government grant, which will consist of a representative from Finance, the OGGA, and the stakeholder involved (i.e., nursing, medicine, etc.) The Working group will be responsible for, among other things, ensuring that that the reported qualifying expenditures are incurred during the period of performance of the grant. In other words, allowable costs will be discussed early in the process, so that there is fulsome understanding among the key individuals involved. 2. Record-Keeping: The OGGA will also establish shared folders to house all of the pertinent documentation relative to the grant. 3. Invoice/Supporting Documentation Review. The Grant Accounting Manager will review all invoices and other supportive documentation to ensure that allowable costs are submitted for reimbursement. This compliance check will be completed prior to submission of the documentation for reimbursement. Monthly reviews of these activities will be performed by the Grant Accountant, the Compliance Grant Manager, and other OGGA staff as needed. Proactive review to prevent or resolve issues in the upcoming month’s billings should be pursued. 4. Annual Assessment. The Chief Compliance Officer, with the assistance of the General Counsel, will meet with the OGGA team annually to assess procedures and risk controls; a report of this assessment will be made to the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors Contact person responsible for corrective action: Dimas Ortega - Vice President of Finance, Deputy Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: 06/30/2025

This should have included an analysis of rents in the immediate area of the participants housing. • For 3 out of 41 rental payments tested, we noted the rent paid exceed the HUD-determined fair market rents for the fiscal year. Repeat Finding from Prior Years: Yes, Finding 2022-002 Management’s Response: We concur. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: • Develop policies and procedures for staff working on grants to ensure that all contract rents being paid for individual housing units are reasonable in relation to rents being charged for comparable units. Additionally, the policies and procedures will ensure that grant funds being used to pay rent will not exceed HUD-determined fair market rents. • Train grant staff on new policies and procedures.
