SEFA preparation procedures have been updated to ensure analysis of grant execution date.

Effective January 2025, RYASAP has transferred all accounting and finance responsibilities to an in-house finance/accounting department. The process of transitioning to this model commenced in October 2023 with the hiring of a Vice President of Finance (a CFO equivalent) who reviewed the current accounting/finance reporting model. Shortly thereafter, based on the VP of Finance’s recommendation, a Controller was hired (March 2024). Later in the year, an additional Staff Accountant was hired (December 2024). Transitioning of financial report preparation began in very early 2024 with almost all reporting being transitioned for the March 31, 2024 reporting period. As a result of this transition, reporting is handled by a central group with consistent reporting processes and procedures as well as improved internal notification tools, including a Grant Cover Sheet in which the program directors, the Director of Development, and the finance/accounting team review at or prior to contract receipt a7nd a Grant Cover Sheet Budgets Report which helps the Finance/Accounting team track and manage financial reporting.

The 2023 audit for Hawkeye Area Community Action Program, Inc (HACAP) was delayed due to a loss of financial data that was stored on an internal server because of a data breach. The back-up of the financial data was also stored on an internal server, was compromised as well, resulting in a complete loss of information. The financial information had to be rebuilt based on support documentation, and the reconstruction of the data took place over the course of several months. HACAP has migrated our financial accounting software to a data center managed by a 3rd party. A full backup of the database is done daily to both the cloud and to a hard drive that is securely stored. Person(s) Responsible: Jason Fisher, Cindy Johnson, Jim McGoldrick Timing for Implementation: Immediate/Completed

Finding ref number: 2023-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls and did not comply with allowable activities and allowable costs requirements. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Mitch Thompson 1620 S. Pioneer Way Moses Lake, WA 98837 (509) 766-2650 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: While the district concurs with the finding that it didn’t have adequate internal controls during the 2022-23 school year, the district disagrees that the monies were not spend on allowable costs under the grants. The district has changed leadership as well as accounting staff. Following the change, the new Executive Director of Finance & Operations instituted measures to ensure that the district complies with grant claims and journal entry procedures. One of the changes was that the person who inputs the journal entries has those entries reviewed by another person. This means that if the Accounting Supervisor inputs the journal entry, the Executive Director of Finance & Operations reviews the entry for accuracy as well as if the expenditures are allowable under the new account code(s). One of the other changes put into place was the implementation of uploading the supporting documentation into the accounting system the district uses so that the documentation doesn’t get lost or misplaced. The district realizes the importance of verifying expenditures and internal reviews to ensure accuracy and these two actions by the district will ensure compliance and proper internal controls. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: 12/31/2024

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Program/Cluster: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Number: 14.871, 14.879 Pass‐through: n/a – direct award Award No. and Year: CA131, 2022/2023 Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance, Material Noncompliance Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The County spent many months contacting multiple agencies trying to report through the FSRS system on the multiple Housing Voucher awards, with no success. The County’s assigned Housing and Urban Development (HUD) office is the San Francisco regional office. Per their director, “These are systems that we don’t work with in HUD PIH so I won’t be able to be of assistance relative to this.” The County is unable to complete FFATA reporting for reasons outside of the County’s control. Responsible Individual(s): James Bezek, Director of Resources Management Anticipated Completion Date: Because the corrective action is outside of the County’s control, we cannot determine an anticipated completion date.

Major Federal Award Programs Audit Material Weakness #2023-006 Condition and criteria: The City is required to file an annual report for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) program. As part of the reporting process, the City designates the portion allocable to revenue replacement to allow for the amount of expenditures that can be claimed as the broad general government services category. In addition, the City reports the amount of funds that were obligated and the amount that was actually expended. All the funds were obligated, but a significant amount had not been expended at the time of the report and the City reported the funds as fully expended. The reporting discussed tranche two funds received in some of the narratives but not in the obligations or revenue loss sections, which should be included in the reports. Cause: There were several changes in staff during the year and the staff that filed the March 2023 report was new to the process. Staff relied on the prior year’s reporting, which also did not meet regulatory requirements. The grant has a wide latitude on allowable costs and management changed their decision on costs charged to the grant causing further difficulties in reporting. Auditor’s recommendation: We recommend that the City only report funds actually incurred as expenditures in future reports, and we recommend additional training for staff reporting under this grant. We also recommend that the City review the intended spending of the remaining funds and to have an updated spending plan approved by Council. Management’s Plan of Action Management concurs with the auditor’s recommendations and future CSLFRF reports will be based on the amounts actually expended. The City has committed all the remaining funds as required by the ARPA deadlines.

CDS recognizes there are significant challenges with respect to obtaining and inputting children's financial information into CINC. In response to this finding, CDS moved to improve by continuing to review current policies and procedures and providing CINC data input training for staff. CDS also budgeted for 1 quality assurance (QA) FTE to centralize the consent to bill workflow and provide payor source validation to improve the accuracy of the data in CINC. Due to a challenging workforce environment, CDS was not able to fill that position with a qualified full-time candidate, hence is utilizing internal staff to supplement. CDS will implement new procedures to clearly update and define timeline expectations at the site level, which will be aided by updating existing forms and full agency staff support.

Completion and Submission of Annual Single Audit – Significant Deficiency/Noncompliance · All Federal Programs Condition/Context: The County's Single Audit and reporting package was delayed for the year ended December 31, 2023, beyond the 9-month due date. As part of the County's year-end close, the Children and Youth federal revenues and expenditures were not timely reconciled between the programmatic reports and the general ledger leading to incomplete and inaccurate information being included in the County's general ledger system and incomplete information for the County’s Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The June 30, 2023 reconciliation was not completed until June 2024 and the December 31, 2023 reconciliation and necessary adjustments were not completed until October 2024. Cause: The Children and Youth fund reconciliations of federal activity and preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards were not completed timely due to staffing limitations, which delayed the completion and filing of the County’s December 31, 2023 Single Audit and reporting package. Corrective Action Planned: In response to Finding 2023-003, the County is taking the following steps to ensure that these issues are rectified going forward. The issues regarding Children and Youth have been ongoing. The delay in the filing of the Single Audit was solely due to their lack of staffing and inability to complete their reconciliations and reporting timely. The Commissioners and Children & Youth Administration are well aware of the lack of staff and are working towards hiring individuals to complete the necessary tasks. The County continues to work with a sub-contractor in an effort to free up time of the full-time staff and assist with preparation and submission of monthly and quarterly reporting. Controller, Erik Diemer, Fiscal Director, Jennifer Barclay, County Commissioners and Director of C & Y are providing all available resources to assist the Fiscal Department of Children and Youth. Interviews are being held for all vacant positions. The County expects vacant positions to be filled by June 30, 2025.

The district continues to find solutions to help segregate duties with our minimally staffed central office (business manager, administrative assistant & nutrition director). Over the past few years, we have begun utilizing our building secretaries for tasks such as entering receipts, writing deposit slips, etc. The district’s business manager & administrative assistant will work with board members on the finance & negotiations committee to develop a plan to add more checks & balances to our current operations. We will use the segregation of duties handbook to help with this process.

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
