Submission of the Audit Reporting Package and Data Collection Form Recommendation: We recommend the organization strengthen its internal controls over the reconciliation process, including implementing a formal review procedure and ensuring reconciliations are supported by complete and accurate documentation prior to audit fieldwork. Timely and accurate reconciliations are critical to maintaining reliable financial reporting and audit readiness. Action Taken: CMJTS acknowledges the delay and has been making improvements to ensure reconciliations are done timely. Accounting staff have been given additional training on bank reconciliations, and they are now reconciling bank transactions daily. This real time reconciling helps ensure that all transactions are processed accurately. Bank reconciliations are then signed off by Finance Manager and the Board Treasurer monthly. Accounting staff have been given additional training on statement of financial position reconciliations and will be reconciling them monthly. The statement of financial position, with supporting documentation, will then be signed off by the Finance Manager monthly.

Ineffective Grant Management Recommendation: Establish a standardized process for reviewing grant budgets against actual expenditures, with clearly defined roles and timelines. Deliver targeted training to relevant staff on grant reporting protocols and variance analysis. Implement a cross-functional review procedure prior to report submission to ensure accuracy and completeness. Action Taken: Since migrating to the new accounting software in February of 2025, CMJTS program managers have better access to reporting for their budgets. Budgets are also loaded into the system by month, and program managers are then able to track program to date expenses versus the what had been planned. Additionally, CMJTS accounting staff has moved to ‘real-time accounting’, meaning that all transactions are being recorded right away in order to flow through to program manager reports. Additionally, the CMJTS Finance Manager meets with program managers on a monthly basis to review budgets and provide additional training. These additional steps empower the program managers to take ownership of their budgets and be able to make more informed decisions on running their programs.

Documentation of Allocations for Salaries and Wage Costs Recommendation: The Organization should establish and implement a comprehensive documentation retention policy that includes clear procedures for maintaining records supporting the allocation of employee time. This policy should ensure that all relevant documentation—such as timesheets and work allocation records—is retained for the required period and readily accessible for audit purposes. Additionally, staff involved in timekeeping and financial reporting should receive training on documentation requirements under the Uniform Guidance. Action Taken: CMJTS has since worked with DEED to update our cost allocation policy, and DEED approved our new policy. In this policy, the CMJTS fiscal team will work with CMJTS program managers to update allocations for the upcoming month. Changes to allocations will be documents and saved for record retention.

Adjusting Journal Entries, Required Disclosures and Draft Financial Statements - Auditor’s Recommendation: Although auditors may continue to provide such assistance both now and, in the future, under the pronouncement, the Borough should continue to review and accept both proposed adjusting journal entries and footnote disclosures, along with the draft financial statements. Borough’s Response: The Borough has received, reviewed and accepted all journal entries, footnote disclosures and draft financial statements proposed for the current year audit and will continue to review similar information in future years. Further, the Borough believes it has a thorough understanding of these financial statements and the ability to make informed judgments based on these financial statements. Lastly, the Borough considers such assistance provided by the auditors to be the most cost-effective manner to prepare such information. The Borough will also ensure that in the future all transactions will be properly reflected in the accounting software.

Untimely Single Audit Filing - Auditor’s Recommendations: The Borough should establish a system to closely monitor Single Audit deadlines, designate clear responsibilities for the audit process, and proactively communicate with the auditor to ensure timely completion and submission of the report. Borough’s Response: Eldred Borough was unable to contract a CPA to perform the single audit. This process included months of phone calls and emails to over 30 CPA and Accounting Firms across the State of Pennsylvania. The Borough has since contracted with a CPA firm to perform the 2025 single audit and do not anticipate it being delayed in submission.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871, 14.879, 14.EHV Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – Depository Agreements Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: PHAs are required to enter into general depository agreements (GDA) with their financial institutions in the form required by HUD. The agreements serve as safeguards for federal funds and provide third party rights to HUD. Among the terms in many agreements are requirements for funds to be placed in an interest-bearing account (24 CFR section 982.156). Condition: Based on inspection of files and discussions with management, it was determined that the depository agreements were signed after the reporting period. Context: The Authority did not have signed depository agreements with their financial institutions on file during the reporting period, therefore we were unable to verify the existence of depository agreements and unable to determine if the Authority met the terms of the agreements. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance for the special tests and provision type of compliance related to depository agreements. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls for their partnered management company that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster is in noncompliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to depository agreements. Auditors' Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority properly file HUD-51999 forms in accordance with HUD guidelines. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor and will properly file HUD- 51999 forms in accordance with HUD guidelines. Noelle Tackett, Director of the Housing Choice Voucher Program, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by December 31, 2025.

Calendar Controls: Add both the audit and DCF submission deadlines to our compliance calendar and set automated reminders so these dates cannot be missed. Cross-Training: Ensure at least two team members are fully trained on audit preparation and the DCF process, so the work continues smoothly even during staffing gaps or transitions. Document Access: House all required audit and financial documents in a secure, shared folder (e.g., SharePoint) that the finance team can access at any time. This should reduce the time it takes to seek files. Proactive External Support: Engage our audit firm earlier in the fiscal year to prevent last-minute bottlenecks and keep the flow of information moving. Responsible Party: CFO Monitoring: CEO will confirm timely DCF submission each year.

Federal Program: Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Development Grant Assistance Listing No.: 10.311 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-Through Entity: None Federal Award Identification Number: 2022-49400-38205 Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding Criteria – Management is responsible for preparing a complete and accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Condition – During compliance testing, it was determined that the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards provided to us to begin our audit was not complete and accurate. Context – Management was unable to fully reconcile the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to the general ledger. Cause – The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards was not accurate. Effect – As a result of the condition, management was unable to fully reconcile the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to the general ledger. Recommendation – In the future, management should ensure it implements appropriate processes and controls to ensure the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards contains complete and accurate data. Views of Responsible Officials – Management acknowledges the finding and will implement appropriate processes and controls to ensure the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards contains complete and accurate data. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned – MOFGA created a SEFA to capture grant funds by CFDA number during the compliance audit. Grants are spread out throughout various lines of our chart of accounts, with no quick designation in QuickBooks Online for identifying which ones are private, state or federal funds. This was done manually for each income source (and complimentary expense line), and a few corrections were identified during the audit. We have received guidance from external partners about using Customer/Job functionality or Funder functionality in QBO for tracking of federal grants. This is being evaluated to help with the accuracy and expediting of report creation directly from our accounting software. Responsible Parties – Angela Haiss, Director of Operations Anticipated Completion Date – December 31, 2025

Federal Program: Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Development Grant Assistance Listing No.: 10.311 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-Through Entity: None Federal Award Identification Number: 2022-49400-38205 Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding Criteria – MOFGA is required to review and submit certain annual reports as part of its administration of the beginning farmers and ranchers development grant program. Condition – MOFGA filed certain reports after the required reporting deadlines, including the Federal Financial Report (SF-425) and Final Project Financial Report. Questioned costs – None. Cause – Management oversight on due date of required reports. Effect or potential effect – Reports are not submitted in accordance with federal guidelines and amounts within those reports may not be accurate. Context – Our sample of reports was a statistically valid sample. Recommendation – MOFGA should enhance controls over reporting to ensure that due dates are monitored and adhered to. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned – Our Grant writer keeps a running list of deadlines and uses that on a daily basis for checking what is upcoming that needs to be submitted. She also enters the information into Virtuous, our CRM, for tracking purposes. Finally, she uses her calendar to schedule in grant and report deadlines. Responsible Parties – Angela Haiss, Director of Operations Anticipated Completion Date – December 31, 2025
