Finding #2024-003 – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Condition and context: During our testing of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and the SESA, we noted that the expenditures were not reported in accordance with GAAP. An adjustment of $268,000 was recorded to properly state the expenditures. Recommendation: Implement policies and procedures to ensure that all expenditures have been properly recorded in accordance with GAAP in the SEFA and SESA. Corrective action plan: Management agrees with the finding. Beginning in fiscal year 2025, a detailed reconciliation process will be implemented to ensure that all expenditures are properly accrued and reported at the grant level in the SEFA and SESA, aligned with the appropriate reporting period, and the general ledger. Responsible officer: Gouri Kulkarni, Vice President of Finance. Estimated completion date: December 31, 2025.

Finding 2024-007 SEFA Reporting Issue: We lacked consistent grant-level financial reporting, which made preparation of the required Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards {SEFA) difficult and time-consuming. • What's been done: We have improved our accounting systems and can now produce regular internal financial reports by grant. All grant managers are given a monthly transaction listing for their grants to ensure transactions are posted to the correct grant. They are also given monthly financial statements for each grant to reconcile with their records. • Next steps: Financial reporting will be done on a timely basis, ideally no more than 5 days after the month closing so grant managers can reconcile their records. • Timeline: By early October, we hope to implement the monthly closing no more than 5 days after the month end. • Responsible party: Finance manager with oversight by President

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The Association believes it has personnel who possess suitable skill, knowledge, or experience to oversee services the auditor provides in assisting with financial statement presentation which requires a lower level of technical knowledge than the competence required to prepare the financial statements, related footnote disclosures, and SEFA in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting.

Finding ref number: 2024-001 Finding caption: The City did not have adequate internal controls and did not comply with federal wage-rate requirements. Name, address, and telephone of City’s contact person: Josh DeLay 271 9th St NE East Wenatchee, WA 98802 (509) 886-4507 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: (If the auditee does not concur with the finding, the auditee must list the reasons for disagreement). All the projects audited this period are still in progress and have not been closed out or accepted by the City. As a result, the final project files were not available, leading to the audit evaluating “working” files. Auditing these files with the expectation that they would be in a finalized state is both misrepresenting the City’s standard of care for accepted projects and created an added financial burden to provide support from working files. The City would like it noted the audit did not find any payments to have been processed that did not include payment of prevailing wage. Additionally, as stated above, these projects are all still in progress and will not be fully closed out until all certified payrolls are received. In a theoretical case where there was an instance of a contractor not paying prevailing wage on one of these projects, the City would address it prior to closeout, which would ensure it is not liable for paying additional wages. The City hires consultants to administer these projects in accordance with all relevant statutes and best practices. The City also provided the SAO with emails showing the City’s consultants requesting overdue certified payrolls as a part of the pay estimate preparation process. To mitigate any risk that may exist in the City’s current process the City will develop a cover sheet to accompany pay estimates on federally funded projects that will require the consultant to certify that certified payrolls from all contractors are up to date, tracks how far overdue any non-submitted certified payrolls are, and ensure the City verifies certified payrolls in a timely manner. The City will also look further into the applicable statutes to determine whether it needs to establish a policy outlining when to withhold payment from a contractor due to outstanding certified payrolls. The City does not believe that an audit finding is necessary on this issue. These certified payrolls will be collected prior to the projects being accepted, ensuring that any noncompliance from contractors are not the financial responsibility of the City. As outlined above, the City acknowledges that there are areas that it could improve its process and will implement policies and systems to continue delivering the best possible projects for taxpayers. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: Immediately, where necessary

MATERIAL WEAKNESS Financial Statement Preparation and Audit Adjustments Recommendation: We recommend that management review controls related to financial statement preparation review at the end of each period. Financial statement preparation should include a review of reconciliations and balances to ensure that financial statement line items are properly stated and classified.

Finding 2024-002 AL No.: 21.027 Program Title: COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Award Number/Year: 1505-0271 / 2021 Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires that local entities receiving federal awards establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. The Uniform Guidance further requires auditors to obtain an understanding of the local entity's internal control over federal programs. To minimize the risk of errors, internal controls should be in place for all program compliance requirements, including the preparation and submission of financial reports, which should be reviewed and approved by a responsible party other than the original preparer before they are submitted to the granting agency. Condition and Context: A sample of one annual P&E report was selected for testing. There was no documentation available to support that the report was reviewed and approved by an individual separate from the preparer prior to submission. This sample was not statistically valid. Cause: The City does not have procedures in place requiring an independent person to review the reports before submission. Effect: Reports could be submitted that contain errors, or reports may not be submitted within the allowed reporting periods. Questioned Costs: None noted. Recommendation: We recommend that an employee other than the preparer review all reports before they are submitted to the Department of Treasury and documentation of the review be retained. Management's Response: The Finance Department will have a staff member initial and review the final report before it is submitted on the Department of Treasury website. This will be corrected right away in September 2025 for future reports being filed. Official Responsible for Ensuring the Corrective Action Plan: Carrie Winklbauer Planned Completion Date for the Corrective Action Plan: September 2025

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: At the time of the Q4 2024 submission, management prepared and submitted the quarterly report prior to the completion of the quarter, resulting in interim financial data being included. This occurred because both weekly and quarterly reports were being produced concurrently, with overlapping information. While the reported numbers were estimates, they had no impact on project outcomes, payments, or work performed, and the granting agency did not raise any concerns following submission. To address this issue, management streamlined the reporting process beginning with Q1 2025 by aligning the quarterly reporting with finalized weekly reports to ensure accuracy and consistency. Additionally, the Organization has instituted a formal control requiring that all reporting submissions be routed through the CFO for review and approval rather than operations personnel. This process will ensure compliance with reporting requirements, prevent premature submission of interim data, and strengthen internal oversight of grant reporting.

2024-002 Special Tests and Provisions - Program Administration The Housing Authority of Okanogan County recognizes we had several oversights in our tenant file documentation and program administrative procedures during 2024. During April 2024, the Housing Authority of Okanogan County underwent a Comprehensive Compliance Monitoring Review review by the Seattle Field Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Their review report dated May 23, 2024 identified a number of findings and recommendations which were implemented in June and July 2024 by the Housing Authority of Okanogan County. The Housing Authority of Okanogan County provided the Seattle Field Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development supporting information documenting resolution and correction of each item identifi ed in thei r report. On October 30. 2024 Seattle Field Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a letter documenting that the Authority has fully remedied each finding.

While we acknowledge the auditor’s observation, management does not concur that the absence of formal timesheets equates to unsupported labor charges. Employees completed assigned responsibilities under the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education grant. Salaries were charged consistent with approved budgets and federal cost principles. During the audited (12-month) period, total payroll expenses allocated to the grant reflected actual performance of program activities as contracted. Accordingly, we believe the costs are fully allowable and the questioned amount of $40,495 is valid program expense. To address auditor concerns, we will utilize the documentation of program detail and timekeeping information within the Educator Tracker to accurately charge time and effort each pay period. The Educator Tracker will include all pertinent details including staff assignments, grant source per assignment, and supervisor approval. Anticipated completion: October 15, 2025. Responsible party: Kimberly Danon, Director of Youth Education.
