North East Kingdom Community Action, Inc (Organization) has an internal review process to accrue for revenue not yet invoiced for reimbursement grants based on expenditures made. The Organization received a congressional award for the purchase and renovation of a building. This award is directly funded by USDA Rural Development department and has special reporting requirements for reimbursement. Due to USDA staff shortages at the Vermont/New Hampshire offices, there was a delay in receiving the required forms to submit for reimbursement. There were questions regarding the reimbursement request and eligibility of the expenditures, an entry was not made until the requisition had been reviewed and approved. The Organization’s regular accrual process was delayed due to this uncertainty. With the federal government shut down effective October 1, 2025, the Organization did not receive a response until January 9, 2026. The Organization recorded the receivable at the time of submittal of the reimbursement request in January 2026. The auditors recorded an audit adjustment as of September 30, 2025 and identified this as a material weakness due to the timing of the recording. The Organization will continue to accrue revenue not yet invoiced for reimbursement grants based on expenditures made. In the event that there is a similar incident as noted above, the Organization will record revenue based on its best estimate, closer to the year end close, when not known within a reasonable timeframe.

The Agency acknowledges the auditors' findings and agrees that improvements are necessary to strengthen internal controls over the preparation of the SEFA. The Agency has taken immediate steps to correct the errors identified in finding SA 2025-001 and is implementing additional controls to ensure that SEFA amounts are recorded accurately and timely for current and future fiscal years. Management will establish a clear year-end cutoff process to ensure that federal expenditures are recorded in the appropriate fiscal period. A formal review step will also be implemented to verify the completeness and accuracy of reported amounts prior to finalizing the SEFA. Collectively, these measures will help ensure that federal expenditures are consistently reported in the correct fiscal year going forward. Person Responsible: Steve Carrigan - Sr. Director of Administrative Services Implementation date: July 1, 2026

The Manatee Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller’s Corrective Action Plan for the conditions identified on the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs – Federal Programs and State Projects is provided below. Please note that Manatee County has provided separate responses in the letter that follows. 2025-001- Significant Deficiency- Internal Controls over Reporting- Condition- There was no evidence of the controls in place to review and approve reports prior to submission. Response- The Manatee County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller's Office is implementing an enhance tracking procedure in order to ensure the completeness and timeliness of all reporting. The county departments will submit all grant information including but not limited to progress reports and reimbursement requests to the Clerk's Office for our approval before they are submitted to the granting agency. The following are Manatee County's management responses to the internal control findings: 2025-001 Significant Deficincy - Internal Controls over Reporting Finding: There is no evidence of the internal control requiring review and approval prior to submission of the cash on hand quarterly report and the FFATA reports prior to submission. Manatee County has updated our procedures for reporting to clarify both separation of preparation and approvals of reports as well as timeliness of submission. In regard to internal controls for approvals, we have updated our procedures to clarify that signatures are required by both preparers and approvers of the report pre-submission. In regard to timing, for cash on hand quarterly reports, these reports are due no later than the 30th of the month following the quarter being reported (e.g., if the reporting period is October, November, and December, the report must be submitted by January 30th). The Grants Division Manager will be responsible for ensuring that this process is followed, and coordinate with the Fiscal team and CFO for all necessary reports. FFATA reports are due in the sam.gov system no later than the 30th of the month following the month in which the subaward was obligated (e.g., if obligated in November, the report must be submitted by December 30th of that same year). The Grants Division Manager will be responsible for ensuring that this process is followed. The Grants Division plans to perform trainings Spring 2026 for all Manatee County employees who touch grants to ensure awareness across all grants.

Narragansett Bay Commission Corrective Action Plan For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 NBC acknowledges and concurs with the finding 2025-001 in the Fiscal Year 2025 Single Audit of the Narragansett Bay Commission conducted by Bacon & Company LLC. The Bucklin Point Wastewater Treatment Facility Digester Complex Improvements “the Project”) has been funded by state revolving fund loan proceeds from the Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank (RIIB) and a Department of Energy grant. NBC’s contracting for civil projects has procedures in place to ensure the inclusion of all applicable Federal requirements as it relates to the use of RIIB funds. Although the Project followed Federal requirements as it relates to RIIB funds, NBC did not have appropriate controls in place to verify that applicable construction contracts for the Project included additional Federal requirements related to compliance with the Build America, Buy America Act as ostensibly required by the Department of Energy grant agreement. NBC has subsequently verified and received certification from the Project’s prime contractor that the Project satisfies Build America, Buy America Act requirements. Corrective Action Plan: In order to ensure that all applicable grant agreement terms are satisfied, NBC has hired a grant administrator to centralize all grant related activities within the Finance Division. NBC intends to develop additional procedures in conjunction with the acceptance and execution of a grant agreement to accomplish the following: 1) Coordinate with applicable Cost Center (as grant recipient) to verify that NBC has the ability to comply with the terms of the grant agreement, and 2) Create a comprehensive checklist of key obligations, including reporting deadlines, allowable costs, matching requirements, and special conditions and verify continued compliance on a regular interval, and 3) Limit award of contracts, expenditure of funds for grant funded projects, and reimbursement requests for grant funds until grant administrator verifies compliance with applicable terms and conditions. Anticipated Completion Date- May 31, 2026 Contact Person – Kevin McDonald, Chief Financial Officer

Name of Responsible Individual: Vice President of Enrollment Management (Dr. Stacey Sowell), Director of Financial Aid (Dr. Ojebe Ifegwu) Corrective Action: The University concurs with the findings. Shaw University acknowledges the findings regarding variances between institutional records and the amounts reported on the FISAP, as well as the delay in submitting corrections by the required deadline. The variances were due to insufficient reconciliation between the University’s records and the FISAP prior to submission. In addition, controls were not adequate to ensure that identified discrepancies were corrected within the required timeframe. The University has since completed a full reconciliation of the FISAP, and further corrections will be made. To prevent recurrence, the University has implemented procedures requiring a formal reconciliation of supporting records to the FISAP prior to submission, along with enhanced review and approval controls to ensure accuracy and timely reporting. Management will continue to monitor this process to ensure ongoing compliance. Anticipated Completion Date: April 30, 2026

Finding #2025-003 – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: U. S. Department of Treasury, COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, Assistance Listing #: 21.027, Contract #: 220163. Condition and context: In testing 40 nonpayroll transactions, we found one instance of an unallowable cost for a late fee charged to the grant and 2 instances of transactions recognized in the incorrect fiscal year. Additionally, 1 out of 9 payroll transactions were incorrectly allocated resulting in the understatement of payroll charged to the grant. Recommendation: Amend NBHP’s policies and procedures to include independent review of allowability of cost and payroll allocations. Planned corrective action: NBHP will modify its policies and procedures to include independent review of transaction for allowability and accuracy. Responsible officer: Lisa Albert, Executive Director. Estimated completion date: April 30, 2026.

Finding 2025-001 Condition There were 2 invoices out of 40 tested that were incorrectly entered into the Organization’s billing system related to the Rehabilitation Services Vocational Grant program. The Organization erroneously recorded the invoices, and the error was not detected during the Organization’s daily operations. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: The process for internal verification will be strengthened by centralizing the internal controls to include one individual responsible for the approval of the pre-bill and one individual responsible for entering the invoice into the internal billing system. This process will be changed from a monthly to a weekly verification. The person responsible for the approval of the pre-bill will review the amounts entered into the internal billing system for accuracy by verifying that all invoices entered match the dollar amount listed on the invoice.

SEFA expense overstatement originated from a misunderstanding of how to categorize COVID funds. Due to program staffing changes since 2021, it took several inquiries to verify that funds originally categorized as Federal and included on the schedule, were done so in error. It was through an abundance of caution that the agency chose to include the funds on the schedule. The thought was it would be better to include than not. This will not be an issue in the future as we have adjusted our grant and project tracking systems to tag transactions that are attached to our funding types. Program and accounting staff work together to verify that information at least quarterly and better tracking systems now exist through the agency’s use of OneDrive, Teams and other centralized Microsoft filing tools. We have also increased communication between the programs, contracts unite, and finance team.

Recommendation We recommend the District implement documented daily edit checks reconciling meal counts to attendance records and maintain records of this review. For food inventory, the District should establish a formal inventory system, including perpetual inventory records, monthly physical counts, and supervisory review. Staff involved in Child Nutrition operations should receive training on USDA and federal compliance requirements Management Response Corrective Action The Food Service Director will implement the federally required daily edit check process. This will include comparing daily meal counts against the attendance and enrollment figures to ensure that claims do not exceed the number of students present. Any discrepancies identified during this process will be investigated and documented prior to submission of the monthly claim. The District will also change the tracking of meals served by using an official meal tracking device or by having students use their badge/ID cards to get a more accurate meal count each day. The District has a formal inventory process for all food service supplies including canned goods, dry goods, and freezer items. This system tracks items from receipt through consumption.

F&RM will complete the following actions to ensure compliance with 2 CFR Part 200: 1. Establish written internal control policies and procedures for federal program reporting. All federal financial reports will undergo an independently documented review before submission to ensure accuracy, allowability, and proper reporting periods. 2. Implement documentation standards requiring staff to retain supporting materials such as system reports, financial queries, screenshots, and reconciliations, in accordance with federal and County retention requirements. 3. Pima County has been working with each of its grant implementing entities to use Euna Grants calendaring and reminders to prompt the entities’ timely reporting activities. Grants Management and Innovation (GMI) Department sets the reminders schedule at the onset of the performance period. The reminders are then automatically emailed to the grants manager and the assigned accountant for each grant on a set schedule throughout the course of the grant. GMI and Finance – Grants will continue to work with grant implementing entities to use these reminders to trigger the necessary actions in a timely manner. Pima County was still in the process of institutionalizing this system during FY25. 4. Provide training for staff who prepare and review federal reports, focusing on reporting requirements, documentation standards, internal controls, and record retention. 5. Conduct periodic management oversight reviews to confirm that internal controls are followed and that reports are complete, accurate, and submitted on time. The County is also planning to implement the Workday Grants Module with an anticipated go-live of July 1, 2027. This solution will enhance our ability to manage the full fiscal lifecycle of grant awards and ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements. The Workday Grants Module is a native Workday solution, purpose-built to support the full fiscal grant lifecycle. The module supports the following financial grant objectives: • Grant setup and award and fiscal tracking • Cost allocation and allocability controls • Real-time grant financial reporting • Compliance with federal Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) • Integration with Workday Financial Management, Procurement and Human Capital Management (HCM) In addition, F&RM has submitted FY 2026/27 budget requests to fund three additional Accountant III positions in our Finance – Grants Division. These positions will expand our capacity to manage our grant portfolio and strengthen our reconciliation, billing and SEFA preparation processes. The contract for the Workday Grants Module is scheduled to go before the Board of Supervisors for approval in April. These new positions will be included in the County Administrator’s Recommended Budget and will be considered by the Board as part of the full budget adoption process in June.

AUDIT FINDINGS Finding Reference Number: 2025-001 Description of Finding: The District is required to submit semi-annual Performance (Technical) Reports where the reporting of grant expenditures must reconcile to the expenditures reported on SF-425 for the same reporting period. For the reporting period ended March 31, 2025, the District's CMC Performance Report Line Bk (Totals) agreed to SF-425 Line 1 Ob (Federal cash disbursements) rather than SF-425 Line 1 Oe (Federal share of expenditures). The Performance Report did not accurately present total expenditures for the CMC award for the period. This results in noncompliance with the program's reporting requirements. The Performance Report reported cash disbursement data instead of accrual-basis expenditure data. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Management acknowledges that due to an oversight of cash vs. accrual basis accounting, an immaterial misstatement not resulting in questioned costs or returned funds occurred in grant reporting. Corrective Action: To ensure the increased accuracy of future grant reporting, Management will implement a dual-review process for all future performance reporting. The grant accountant responsible for the financial Performance Report data will now complete a standardized quality assurance checklist before submission. This report will then be formally reviewed and cross-referenced against source data by a secondary finance administrator to verify the accuracy of reported metrics. The CMC (Technical) Performance Report in question has been adjusted to reflect the accurate expenditure values and resubmitted to the grantor.

Cochise County Corrective Action Plan Year ended June 30, 2025 2025-101 Assistance Listings number and name: 10.557 WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Award number and years: CTR067930, October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2028 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-through grantor: Arizona Department of Health Services Compliance requirement: Eligibility Questioned costs: Unknown The County did not perform eligibility certification requirements, resulting in an increased risk of program participants receiving benefits they are not eligible to receive Contact: Barbara Lang Completion date: March 2026 Corrective Action: Cochise County WIC leadership and staff are committed to full adherence with WIC policy and will continue to implement training, monitoring, and communication to ensure compliance with federal and state regulation. This audit timeframe produced findings primarily related to issues that have already been corrected through the departure of staff that contributed to the findings (to include the previous Directors), hiring of new staff with a more thorough and comprehensive training plan implemented, and staff effort to retroactively collect all required signatures at subsequent appointments to ensure all WIC clients have current signatures and understanding of Rights & Obligations and Consents for their certification period. We recognize that these new processes were not put into plan until June 2025, due to the timing of the previous audit, and therefore did not reflect on the July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 audit period. In addition to the above resolved issues, a new WIC director was hired in September 2025 and new policies and procedures were immediately developed and put into place. These new policies and procedures that serve as our already implemented corrective action plan are as follows: Staff Training a. All staff are required to complete the full ADHS WIC-sponsored live cohort training courses upon hire, and every 3 years of their employment to ensure competencies are maintained over time. b. All staff complete their annual Civil Rights, Conflict of Interest, and Confidentiality upon hire and annually. Last annual training was completed Fall 2025. c. A staff dedicated as Training Coordinator monitors training logs and ensure all training requirements are met, with additional oversight by the WIC Director and the ADHS WIC State office. d. In-person staff meetings are held monthly, with a significant portion of time dedicated to staff training on programmatic expectations to ensure all staff obtain the same information so that tasks are carried out in a standardized method. e. Weekly team huddles to review any timely findings or discuss issues as a group. f.
