Recommendation: This control deficiency is not unusual in a small company. However, it is the responsibility of management and the board of directors to decide whether to accept the degree of risk associated with this condition based on the cost of correction and other considerations. Management’s Response and Actions Planned: The Company’s management is aware of this significant deficiency. Management reviews and approves the draft annual audited financial statements and distributes them to the users. For entities of this size, it generally is not practical to obtain the internal expertise needed to handle all aspects of the external financial reporting. Management recognizes this and feels it is effectively handling its reporting responsibilities with the procedures described above.
Familiarize our staff with financial reporting requirements to the extent possible.

2025-001: Insufficient Controls Over Monitoring Federal Expenditures and SEFA Preparation (Significant Deficiency) The City concurs with the finding and will strengthen controls over monitoring federal expenditures and preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). The Finance Department will implement centralized oversight of federal grant activity and maintain a grant tracking schedule to monitor cumulative federal expenditures by program, including reimbursements and receivables. Departments administering federal programs will be required to report grant expenditures to Finance, and periodic reconciliations will be performed between departmental records, reimbursement requests submitted to the pass-through agency, and amounts recorded in the general ledger. At year-end, the Finance Department will prepare the SEFA and perform a formal management review to ensure all federal expenditures are complete and accurately reported and evaluated against the Single Audit threshold in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Personnel involved in grant administration will receive training on applicable Uniform Guidance requirements to support compliance with federal reporting and monitoring requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: June 2026

Condition: The tenant security deposit cash account was insufficient to cover the tenant security deposit liability. - Response: The reserve for replacement has ample funds to request reimbursements of qualified expenditures and Management plans to make a sizable request for funds in April 2026. If approved, management can fund the deficiency in the security deposits. Management is also going to request a Budget Based Rent increase in May 2026 for the property due to the extraordinary escalation of operating costs of the last three years. Management believes that with these steps it will be able to return to its previous cash flow position.

2025-004 LACK OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER REPORTING U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ALN 14.251 – Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants Contract No. B-22-CP-KY-0347 (2022) and B-23-CP-KY-0612 (2023) Criteria and Condition: During our audit procedures, we noted there was no process in place to ensure periodic reporting was submitted timely and accurately. Cause: Certain internal controls were not in place to prevent or detect lack of periodic reporting, or inaccurate reporting. Effect: Federal funds could be withheld if periodic reports are not submitted, or are inaccurate. Questioned Costs: None Recommendation: We recommend management obtain a greater understanding of the Compliance Supplement requirements over HUD grants, and implement a review process whereby there is a review control over the submission of period reports. Action Taken: The Authority will gain a greater understanding of HUD grants, and will implement a review process over required periodic reporting. Individual(s) responsible for implementing: Maureen Carpenter, CEO Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2026

2025-005 Lack of Reporting Review Recommendation: The City should have controls in place to ensure all reports are reviewed prior to submittal. Management Response: Management agrees that reports should be reviewed prior to submission and notes that the City does have controls in place to ensure appropriate review procedures are performed. In this instance, the report was prepared and submitted by the City Manager, and due to limitations within the Federal Government’s online reporting system, there was not a built-in approval workflow available to document the review process. To strengthen our controls, the City will print and retain a copy of the report prior to electronic submission to allow for documented review and approval. This will ensure appropriate oversight is evidenced and that sufficient supporting documentation is maintained to demonstrate the review process was completed. Responsible Parties: Brittany Retherford, City Manager, Mindy Brown, Comptroller, and Bethany Messersmith, Assistant Comptroller Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2026

Redesign Schools Louisiana respectfully submits the following schedule of current year audit findings for the year ended June 30, 2025. Audit conducted by: Kolder, Slaven & Company, LLC 1428 Metro Dr. Alexandria, LA 71301 Audit Period: Fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 The findings from June 30, 2025 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned on the schedule. FINDING – FINANCIAL AUDIT Material Weaknesses Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 2025-001 Federal Grant Awards Reporting Fiscal year finding initially occurred: 2025 RECOMMENDATION: Management should strengthen internal controls over financial reporting, including reconciliation of grant expenditures to reimbursement requests and review of grant receivable balances prior to issuance of the financial statements. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: 1. Management’s Response & Context Redesign Schools Louisiana (RSL) acknowledges the auditor’s position regarding the period of recognition for $862,239 in federal ESSER grant revenue. RSL maintains that the timing of this revenue recognition was driven by specific administrative guidance from the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) to prevent the expiration of federal funds. While management acted in accordance with grantor instructions to secure critical resources, we recognize that GAAP (ASC 250) requires a prior-period adjustment for material misstatements regardless of grantor timing. 2. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned To ensure future compliance with GAAP and Uniform Guidance reporting requirements, RSL will implement the following: ● Enhanced Year-End Reconciliations: Management will continue to perform robust year-end reconciliation procedures for all federal grant expenditures. These procedures will specifically require cumulative eligible federal expenditures to be reconciled against recorded grant receivables and revenue for every federal program. ● Period-End Cutoff Review: RSL will refine its accrual process to ensure that revenues are recorded in the fiscal year in which the underlying expenditures are incurred, provided they meet the "available and measurable" criteria, even if grantor reimbursement authorization is pending. ● SEFA Accuracy Controls: RSL will utilize these reconciliations to ensure the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) is accurate and complete, specifically verifying that expenditures are reported in the period they were incurred. ● Technical Accounting Oversight: All grant-related year-end adjustments and reconciliations will be reviewed and approved by personnel with specific expertise in federal grant compliance and GAAP accounting to ensure proper fiscal year alignment. ● Standardized Grant Close-out: RSL will implement a formal grant close-out checklist that includes a review of "availability" and "realizability" of funds to ensure transparency and accuracy in both the financial statements and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Internal Control Over Compliance – Uniform Guidance U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 2025-002 Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Reporting Fiscal year finding initially occurred: 2025 Education Stabilization Fund #84.425 RECOMMENDATION: Management should enhance its year-end grant close-out reconciliation process by requiring cumulative eligible federal expenditures to be reconciled to recorded grant receivables and revenue for each federal program. Any adjustments identified should be reviewed and approved by personnel with federal grant and accounting expertise prior to issuance of the financial statements. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: 1.

The findings noted above will be evaluated and corrective action will be taken as indicated in each respective finding.

The University acknowledges the auditor’s finding regarding the late submission of the June 30, 2025, Single Audit reporting package. Although the submission exceeded the required federal deadline by only one day, management recognizes that any delay constitutes noncompliance with 2 CFR 200.512(a), and we take full responsibility for this timing exception. Over the past six months, the University has undertaken significant steps to strengthen its financial, accounting, and compliance infrastructure. As part of this effort, the University has hired several key leaders and staff members, including a new Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, a Controller, and a Director of Financial Aid, among other critical staff additions. These new appointments have already begun enhancing oversight, accountability, and operational capacity within the Financial Affairs and Student Financial Aid functions. The slight delay in the FY 2025 submission occurred during a period of substantial organizational transition, when newly onboarded leadership was assessing existing workflows and implementing corrective improvements. To ensure that no future deadlines are missed—and to fully eliminate repeat findings—the University has established enhanced internal controls and strengthened reporting processes, including: • Implementing a detailed Single Audit reporting calendar with accelerated internal milestones. • Assigning clear roles, responsibilities, and escalation procedures across all involved departments. • Deploying an automated tracking and reminder system for federal reporting deadlines. • Conducting quarterly compliance and readiness reviews to ensure alignment with Uniform Guidance requirements. Management is committed to ensuring timely and accurate compliance with all federal reporting obligations. With the addition of new, experienced leadership and the implementation of strengthened processes, the University is confident that this issue has been addressed and will not recur.

Student Status Confirmation Report The University acknowledges the finding regarding the timeliness of providing required reports to support audit testing of student enrollment status. We recognize the importance of accurate and timely reporting to the student status confirmation process and regret that the requested documentation was not supplied within the audit timeframe. Corrective Actions Taken / Planned 1. Process Redesign and Timeliness Controls The University has implemented revised internal procedures to ensure that all requested enrollment reports are generated promptly. This includes establishing defined timelines for responding to audit requests and assigning responsibility to specific staff members to track and manage reporting obligations. 2. System and Reporting Enhancements We are reviewing and updating our reporting workflow within our student information system to strengthen data retrieval capabilities and reduce delays in report generation. Additional user training will be provided to ensure staff can efficiently extract the required information. 3. Improved Communication With the Guaranty Agency The University will review past enrollment status submissions and implement additional checks to ensure that future enrollment reporting to the guaranty agency is complete, accurate, and timely. A 45-day reconciliation process has been added to verify that all required status updates have been transmitted. 4. Ongoing Monitoring The University has established ongoing oversight to ensure consistent compliance with reporting requirements. Internal reviews will be performed periodically to confirm that corrective actions remain effective. Management Conclusion We believe these measures will address the root causes identified in the finding and will ensure the timely delivery of required information for future audits. The University is committed to maintaining full compliance with federal and state reporting standards.
