Action Taken in Response to Finding: A Subrecipient Monitoring Policy was implemented in May 2023 to establish processes for subrecipient identification, agreement requirements, invoice review, and ongoing monitoring. The policy was developed in alignment with guidance provided by the CDLE monitoring team. In subsequent years, the subrecipient monitoring framework was strengthened. As of February 2026, CLA’s grant management team has been engaged to further enhance subrecipient monitoring processes. Enhancements include: • Formalization and expansion of the Subrecipient Monitoring Policy, incorporated into the Financial Policies and Procedures, adopted May 2026 • Implementation of a standardized risk assessment process to evaluate subrecipient risk prior to award issuance • Implementation of a formal Subrecipient Monitoring Memorandum process to document monitoring activities • Implementation of a standardized monthly monitoring checklist to ensure consistent financial and compliance review (effective October 2025) • Establishment of a secondary review control requiring validation by the Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer in addition to the initial review by the Director of Finance & Operations (effective June 2026) These enhancements strengthened documentation, consistency, and oversight, and established a structured and audit-ready subrecipient monitoring framework. Control Enhancement: ActivateWork has strengthened its subrecipient monitoring practices through the implementation of a structured and documented framework that includes: A segregation of duties has been implemented within the monitoring framework, requiring preparer-level review by the Director of Finance & Operations and secondary review by executive leadership (Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer). These controls are integrated into ongoing financial operations to ensure subrecipient monitoring is consistently applied, documented, and reviewed. 1. Subaward Identification & FSRS Reporting Subawards are identified and tracked within the Subrecipient Determination Checklist. First-tier subaward reporting is completed in accordance with federal requirements. The Director of Finance & Operations is responsible for ensuring FSRS reporting is completed timely and accurately in accordance with federal deadlines, and documentation of submission is retained within the subrecipient file. 2. Suspension and Debarment (SAM.gov) Subrecipients are verified against SAM.gov prior to contract execution. Documentation of verification is retained in subrecipient files and is included as part of the Subrecipient Determination Checklist. 3. Risk Assessment (Pre-Award) A formal risk assessment is conducted prior to issuing subawards using a standardized scoring methodology that evaluates: • Experience with grants • Program complexity • Funding size • Documentation quality • Prior monitoring issues This assessment is documented within the Subrecipient Determination Checklist. 4. Ongoing Financial Monitoring Monthly invoice reviews are conducted, including: • Mathematical accuracy • Alignment with contract terms • Allowability, allocability, and reasonableness under 2 CFR Part 200 • Reconciliation to supporting documentation This is documented and maintained in the Subrecipient Monthly Monitoring Checklist. 5. Programmatic Monitoring Ongoing coordination is conducted between ActivateWork and subrecipient program staff to monitor: • Program delivery • Participant outcomes • Alignment with grant deliverables 6. Subrecipient Audit Review Subrecipient audit information is obtained and reviewed when applicable. The Director of Finance & Operations is responsible for review, and documentation is maintained within the Subrecipient Monthly Monitoring Checklist. 7. Subaward Agreement Requirements Subaward agreements include required federal award information, compliance expectations, and reporting requirements. The Director of Finance & Operations utilizes a subrecipient agreement template provided by the CDLE monitoring office and ensures all federal award information is complete. 8. Personnel Cost Monitoring (Payroll / Fringe) Personnel costs are reviewed based on documentation provided and evaluated for: • Alignment with program delivery • Reasonableness of allocations • Consistency with invoice detail Review is performed by the Director of Finance & Operations, with documentation maintained within the Subrecipient Monthly Monitoring Checklist. Monitoring & Review: • Monthly monitoring is conducted using a standardized checklist • All invoices are reviewed prior to approval and payment • Issues are documented and tracked through resolution Testing & Validation: • Beginning in June 2026, quarterly internal reviews will be conducted to validate that subrecipient monitoring controls are operating effectively • Monitoring documentation will be reviewed for completeness and compliance Documentation & Evidence: • Monitoring memorandums maintained for each subrecipient • Monthly monitoring checklists retained • Supporting documentation maintained in Teams / SharePoint Control Owner(s): • Director of Finance & Operations • Finance Team • Program Leadership Responsible Party: Director of Finance & Operations, with executive oversight by the Chief Executive Officer Anticipated Completion Date: All corrective actions will be implemented as of June 30, 2026. Ongoing monitoring, documentation, and quarterly validation will continue as part of standard operations.

Action Taken in Response to Finding: In 2023, invoices were submitted using a format aligned with initial guidance from the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), reflecting a per-learner, activity-based approach. Beginning in October 2024, updated guidance required invoices to be based on actual costs incurred, supported by documentation such as timesheets and receipts. As of October 2025, CDHS no longer required supporting documentation at the time of submission; however, supporting documentation continues to be maintained and is provided upon request for monitoring or audit purposes. Standardized Excel-based tools provided by CDHS are utilized for reimbursement submission (Invoice and Ledger). Transaction-level cost tracking was implemented to ensure allowable and eligible costs are recorded and supported. Financial and grant-related policies were standardized and incorporated into Financial Policies and Procedures in May 2024, with a comprehensive grant management framework implemented in May 2026. Control Enhancement: Beginning in 2025, all grant-related expenditures are recorded and tracked at the transaction level within the accounting system. Each transaction must include appropriate supporting documentation and be coded to the correct funding source. A standardized payroll-to-invoice reconciliation process has been implemented to ensure that all costs charged to federal awards are allowable, allocable, and properly supported. Monitoring & Review: • Costs are reviewed by the Senior Accountant prior to inclusion in reimbursement requests • A secondary monthly review is performed by the Director of Finance & Operations to validate allowability, completeness, and alignment with funding requirements • Exceptions are documented and resolved prior to submission Testing & Validation: • Beginning in June 2026, quarterly internal reviews will be conducted to test a sample of transactions for compliance with documentation and allowability requirements • Results will be documented and tracked, and any identified deficiencies will require corrective action Documentation & Evidence: • Supporting documentation is maintained in Microsoft Teams / SharePoint • Review and approval are evidenced via email approval and retained as part of the audit record Control Owner(s): • Director of Finance & Operations • Finance Team Responsible Party: Helen Young Hayes, Founder / Chief Executive Officer, in coordination with the Finance Staff Anticipated Completion Date: All corrective actions will be implemented as of June 30, 2026. Ongoing monitoring, quarterly testing, and policy updates will continue.

August 20, 2026 To: Clausell & Associates, P.C. From: Mary Harrison, Executive Director of CSRA Economic Opportunity Authority, Inc. Below is the Authority’s corrective action plan as it relates to the findings for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023, Single Audit Act audit. Comment #2023-001 INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION, GRANT CLOSE-OUT, AND COMPLIANCE WITH RELATED PROVISIONS OF GRANTS AND CONTRACTS SHOULD BE IMPROVED GENERAL Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We concur with this finding. Management is in the process of assessing the organizational structure and capacity to provide adequate financial reporting. With Board review and approval of the Authority’s financial funding sources, the Authority will require additional specialize training for fiscal staff and improve in the segregation of duties to ensure adequate internal controls are fully implemented. The Executive Director will have the overall responsibility of properly reconciling and closing out the accounting system and grant activity each month in an efficient and timely manner to eliminate the risk of significant errors occurring. Budget-to-actual schedules will be an integral part of the grant accountant analyst’s basic responsibilities. The fiscal policies and procedures will be updated with the enhancements implemented within the fiscal department. Staff will be trained on revised policies and procedures and Uniform Guidance regulations. The Executive Director will take the lead in financial reporting to ensure that all reporting meet GAAP and GAS requirements and to provide informative reports for Board and Management. All enhancements will be implemented by September 30, 2026. Concerning the preparation of external reports required by various funding sources (i.e., SF-425, DHS’s reports for LIHEAP, etc.), the Authority will ensure adequate training is performed to improve the skills and knowledge of key personnel. Policies and procedures will also be revised to support external reporting. Implementation Date: The plan correction date will be completed no later than September 30, 2026 Responsible Person: Mary Harrison, Executive Director, will be responsible for the corrective action.

Finding No.: 2023-005 AL Program: 10.555 National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Area: Reporting Questioned Costs: $-0- Views of Auditee and Corrective Action Plan: Management’s Position: PSS Management concurs with the findings. Financial and Grants Management procedures were promulgated in a SOP on September 18, 2024. The financial management system was subsequently changed to Tyler Munis to conform with CNMI central government requirements which will enhance capabilities. The SOPs and the Tyler Munis implementation are under review by an external consultant and recommendations made to improve coding of grant details and expenditures, increased frequency of reconciliations, and a specific SOP for report preparation. Corrective Action Plan: I. Implementation of a Comprehensive Grant Tracker: PSS will develop and implement a centralized Grant Lifecycle Tracker for all active federal awards. This tool will serve as the primary monitoring mechanism for compliance by recording all financial and programmatic reporting due dates, assigning specific preparers for each report, and establishing automated milestones to ensure sufficient lead time for both the preparation phase and the subsequent supervisory review. II. Deployment of Enhanced Data Analysis Tools: To ensure that quarterly program reporting is both consistent and timely, PSS will develop and implement specialized data analysis tools. these tools will streamline the aggregation of program data, reducing manual entry errors and allowing for more efficient evaluation of program performance against federal benchmarks. Proposed Completion Date: In progress for FY 2024 with completion by August 2026.

Management Response: Management concurs with the finding. During the FY2023 audit period, the Organization experienced significant administrative and staffing challenges that affected the timely organization and retention of audit documentation necessary to complete the Single Audit within the required timeframe. While management recognizes the importance of timely audit completion, there was no intent to delay compliance with federal reporting requirements. Since FY2023, SWIWC has substantially strengthened its financial management and audit readiness processes. The Organization has substantially revised its financial policies and procedures, centralized audit documentation, established standardized record retention practices, enhanced grant-specific compliance files, and implemented audit preparation checklists and tracking systems designed to support timely completion of future audits. Management believes these improvements significantly reduce the likelihood of similar delays occurring in future audit periods. Anticipated Completion Date: Planned Implementation completion by 9/30/2026; ongoing monitoring. Responsible Party: Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer.

Condition: During review of student activity expenditures it was noted that documentation was not retained for all expenses. Context: We selected 50 total expenditures for testing and noted that 2 of the expenditures did not have documentation of the expense. Effect: We selected 50 total expenditures for testing and noted that 2 of the expenditures did not have documentation of the expense. Cause: The District is not in compliance with State requirements for the accounting for student activity expenditures. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that the District review its policies and procedures pertaining to student activity expenditures and receipts and ensure that is up to date and that it can be easily followed and replicated in case of personnel turnover. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: We concur with this finding. It is an on-going issue. Our policies and procedures concerning student activity funds are up to date. We have held meetings with the school bookkeepers to review the MASBO Student Activity Fund Accounting Manual and have provided electronic and paper copies to the principals, activities/athletic directors and bookkeepers. Our next meeting with this group is August 6, 2026. 2023-002 Late Submission Federal Program Information: Funding agency: U.S Department of Education U.S Department of Agriculture Title: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief ESSER) Fund, American Rescue Plan - Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER), American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief - Homeless Children and Youth and Special Education Cluster Child Nutrition Cluster CFDA number: 84.425D, 84.425U, 84.425W, 84.027, 84.173 10.553, 10.555, 10.559 Award year and number: 32-0583-912020, 32-0584-922021, 32-0583-972021, 32-0583- 932021, 32-0584-772021, 32-0584-772022, 32-0584-79-2022 Criteria or Specific Requirement: 2 CFR section 200.512(a) requires the reporting package and data collection form be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: The fiscal year audit and reporting package is being submitted after the required due date. Context: We reviewed the audit submission date in comparison to the required due date. Questioned Costs: To be determined by grantor Effect: There is a potential for suspension or cessation of federal and/or state funding. Cause: The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic caused a delay in the audit and as such the required deadline could not be met. Repeat: Yes Auditor's Recommendations: The District should take steps to ensure that its financial records are maintained on a current basis, reconciled timely, and audited within nine months after year end. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: In November 2022, the District was informed by its then auditor that they could not complete the audit for FY2022. By that time, most audit firms were booked solid and the District had a difficult time contracting with a new firm. Wipfli, LLC entered into a 3-year contract with the District with the understanding that the FY2022 audit would likely not be filed on time. The FY2022 audit was issued on May 7, 2024. The District committed to having financial information ready for the FY2023 audit by the end of June 2024, which was already twelve months after the end of the audit period. Unfortunately, the financial information for FY2023 was not ready as promised and this had an adverse effect on Wipfli LLC's ability to perform its work as scheduled. To further complicate matters, key accounting personnel left the District in August 2024 and June 2025. These individuals had 30 years and 20 years’ experience, respectively, in the District. Even though this will be a repeat finding for the FY2024 and FY2025 audits, the current accounting personnel and their staff are committed to maintaining the District's financial records on a current basis, reconciling accounts timely and will work to have them audited within the required deadlines.

Condition: Management lacked adequate controls at the transaction level to ensure compliance with activities allowed or unallowed, allowable cost principles, and period of performance, which resulted in the improper inclusion of duplicate costs and costs from a prior fiscal period. Further, a lack of effective controls over financial reporting and over preparation of the SEFA resulted in management reporting activity on a cash basis, inconsistent with the basis of reporting established in Note 1 and with requirements established by the passthrough funding agency. Planned Corrective Action: Management will implement a new review, reconciliation and oversight process to ensure that compliance with activities allowed or unallowed, allowable cost principles, and period of performance standards are followed for future grant submissions.

Finding Reference Number 2023-001 Finding The Hospital’s internal control processes regarding usage of funds received under the Provider Relief Fund allocation within the American Rescue Plan Act, 2021, did not provide for adequate segregation of duties. Internal controls around approving, tracking, and reporting expenses were not sufficient. Management agrees with the finding. Corrective Action Plan In September 2023, the Hospital implemented a policy regarding the usage of grant funding received through HRSA. This policy includes review of program guidelines, education of responsible staff, maintenance of separate general ledger accounts for program expenditures, approval of purchase orders by appropriate levels of management, and establishment of logs for program expenditures. It also provides for review of general ledger accounts and review of reports submitted to granting agencies. These changes were implemented to ensure allowable costs are properly approved, tracked, reviewed, and reported in accordance with federal requirements and to provide for adequate segregation of duties in these responsibilities. Responsible Personnel Lisa Hart, former Chief Executive Officer (responsible for implementation of corrective action). Megan Corbin, Chief Executive Officer (current contact for any follow-up regarding corrective action). Completion Date Corrective action was completed in September 2023.
