Appalachian Community Capital Corporation respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2023. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Brown, Edwards & Company, L.L.P. 105 Arbor Drive, 3rd Floor Christiansburg, VA 24073 Audit period: December 31, 2023 The findings from the December 31, 2023 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (the “Schedule”) are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the Schedule. FINDINGS – FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS – MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDIT 2023-001: Community Development Financial Institutions Fund – Assistance Listing No. 21.024, Rapid Response Program, Restatement of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, Material Weakness Criteria and Condition: Recipients of federal funds are required to prepare a complete and accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Additionally, recipients must establish and maintain effective internal controls over federal awards to provide reasonable assurance of accurate financial reporting Context: The Company restated the 2023 Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards by a material amount a result of misinterpretation of reporting requirements for loan loss reserves and allocations of other allowable purposes. Cause: The omission occurred due to a misinterpretation of reporting requirements involving the treatment of grant expenditures for the purpose of loan loss reserve funds, which differs in nature from general program expenditures. Management identified the issue and determined a change in reporting was needed to simplify tracking and reporting of federal grants, and to ensure compliance with the technical definition of expenditures in the guidance. Effect: Loan loss reserves allocated in the wrong period resulted in an understatement of total federal expenditures on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Recommendation: We recommend that the Company implement a formalized review process to ensure all applicable expenditures, including loan loss reserves, are properly recorded in the period in which assigned. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We agree with the finding and have established a process to ensure all expenditures are properly included in the SEFA.

Recommendation: The City should implement controls for filing federal financial reports in a timely manner. Action Taken: In the past few years, the city has experienced turnover in management from the City Clerk, Finance Director, and the HR Director along with being significantly understaffed. With the stabilization of appropriate staffing levels along with appropriate procedures, and clear job duties this should no longer be an issue. The Mayor and City clerk have sent out instructions to all department heads that the documentation for all grants must be sent to the Admin Department. With the completion of the FY 2024 audit and the continued support of leadership this should no longer be an issue.
