Management concurs with the auditor's finding. The omission of certain federal expenditures from the orginally issued Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was identified by management while reconciling federal expenditures for fiscal year 2025 to previously reported balances. It was determined that the fiscal year 2024 SEFA did not fully capture all grant-related transactions recorded in the general ledger. The SEFA has been corrected and reissued to include all qualifying expenditures, and updated procedures have been implemented to strengthen controls over SEFA preparation. Specifically, the Finance Department has designated certain expenditure accounts to be used only in conjunction with grant related expenditures and implemented a new procedure to identify any grant related transactions not recorded to those specified accounts.

Management response/corrective action plan: The condition occurred during a period of significant disruption. The 2024 budget was adopted by Trustees on November 13, and thirteen days later the General Manager unexpectedly passed away during the Thanksgiving holiday. In the aftermath of his passing, District staff and Trustees worked closely with USDA Rural Development to ensure the capital project moved forward and that all required project-related documentation was submitted. USDA Rural Development requires submission of the annual budget to ensure that the funded entity has sufficient revenue to cover upcoming debt payments, as well as operation and maintenance costs. For 2024, USDA RD staff were aware that the Sewer District was implementing a 13.42% rate increase to address inflationary operational costs and increased sludge disposal costs, as well as establishing a 5% infrastructure improvement surcharge to begin preparing for the upcoming USDA debt payments. Through the ongoing communications, USDA did not express any concerns regarding the District’s financial position or readiness for upcoming payments. Going forward, the project manager will ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements for this project, including the timely submission of the annual budget to USDA.

We have reviewed the comments provided herein and are in agreement with the comments and will remediate the findings as follows: • We are reviewing the staffing of our finance department in an effort to ensure that on an ongoing basis these issues and findings are addressed and corrected. • Turnover has been due to the retirement of our Chief Financial Officer who had been with the organization for over thirty years. We made the decision to fill the CFO position vacated by the retiring CFO with the currently employed Controller. Although this transition has been in process for approximately a year, we recognize the need for ongoing training and support. We will ensure this. • Additionally, we have recruited a Staff Accountant with a start date of February 2025 to support accounting needs. • Although with this recruitment there are no Finance staff vacancies, we are evaluating to determine if we need to increase current staffing. In closing, we will support turnover and have individuals with adequate training and subject matter knowledge to perform assigned functions in accordance with appropriate standards and expectations. Additionally, we plan to finalize our internal balancing and financial reporting by August 31st thereby allowing for more time to complete the annual financial statement audit. We are always receptive to positive constructive criticism in our effort to improve upon compliance and financial reporting. Sincerely yours, Ann M. Lewis Chief Executive Officer

Management concurs with the finding and has initiated immediate steps to strengthen record retention and succession planning for federal award management. A key element of our response is the engagement our outsourced accounting provider, to ensure compliance with federal regulations and establish robust processes. To address this finding, the following actions are underway: - By December 31, 2025, management, with the expertise of the outsourced CPA firm, will implement a comprehensive record retention policy tailored to federal award management. This policy will outline retention periods, storage protocols, and access requirements, ensuring all documentation is systematically organized and readily available. - For fiscal year 2025, the outsourced CPA firm is assisting in the creation and retention of adequate reconciling schedules to support all grant draw requests, aligning our processes with federal compliance standards. - The outsourced CPA firm is also supporting the development of detailed procedure manuals for federal award processes and the implementation of a document management system to centralize and secure critical records. These efforts will mitigate the risks associated with staff turnover and ensure continuity of operations. - By December 31, 2025, management will formalize a succession planning process for key positions involved in federal award management, incorporating cross-training of staff under the guidance of our CPA firm to facilitate knowledge transfer and operational resilience. The transition to our outsourced accounting provider addresses the root causes of this finding by bringing specialized expertise and structured processes to our federal award management. We are confident that these actions will result in sustainable improvements and full compliance with federal requirements. Anticipated completion date for these initiatives is December 31, 2025. Anticipated completion date is December 31, 2025.

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.
