Finding: 2023-002 - Deficiency in Internal Controls Over SEFA Preparation and Material Adjustments Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: During the course of our federal single audit, it was observed that the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (“SEFA”) was prepared by the auditor instead of the Township. Although the Township reviewed and accepted the SEFA, the preparation was not independently performed by the Township. Additionally, the auditor proposed and the Township accepted material proposed audit adjusting journal entries that impacted the federal awards reported on the SEFA. Reliance on the auditor to prepare the SEFA and to propose material audit adjustments indicates a deficiency in the Township’s internal controls over financial reporting. This situation increases the risk that the SEFA may not be accurately or completely prepared if the auditor does not perform these tasks. Additionally, this reliance could potentially result in a significant deficiency or material weakness in the Township’s internal control over financial reporting. Auditor Recommendation: To correct this finding in the future, we recommend that the Township take the following actions: • Provide additional training to current staff on the requirements and preparation of the SEFA to build the necessary skills and knowledge internally. • Develop detailed procedures and guidelines for preparing the SEFA, including checklists and timelines, to assist staff in the accurate preparation of this schedule. • Establish a robust review and approval process where a knowledgeable individual within the organization reviews the SEFA for accuracy and completeness before submission. • Enhance internal controls over financial reporting to ensure that material audit adjustments are minimized and that the financial statements and SEFA are prepared accurately and independently. Corrective Action: We agree with the finding and will implement the following steps to address the issue: • Provide additional training to staff on the requirements and preparation of the SEFA. • Develop and document detailed procedures for SEFA preparation. • Establish a review and approval process for the SEFA. • Improve internal controls over financial reporting to reduce reliance on auditors for material adjustments. Responsible Person: Joshua Sutton, Clerk Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2024

Finding: 2023-003 Reporting Department’s Response: We concur Corrective Action: This issue occurred while the Director of Financial Aid was out of the office on Leave.

Recommendation: The auditor recommends the City strengthen the controls in place to provide assurance backup documentation is retained with reports to support amounts reported. The employees responsible for report preparation should be trained to ensure understanding of the relevant Uniform Guidance requirements. Additionally, review procedures should be designed to address proper document retention to substantiate information reported. Action Taken: The City agrees with this finding. In November 2022 (about 5 months into FY23) the City hired a new Airport Manager with substantial experience managing municipal airports and overseeing federal funding for airports. Prior to the hire, the Airport Operations Manager was the acting airport manager, but that position was vacated during FY23. There was a period during FY23 between when the Airport Operations Manager left the City and when the new Airport Manager came on board. In CY24 the Finance Director and the Accounting Officer will work with the Airport staff to implement controls and to provide assurance that Federal Financial Reports have adequate supporting documentation and are reviewed and approved prior to submission the grantor agency timely. The City is in the process of identifying a vendor to contract with Airport to assist with federal compliance and provide training to Airport staff on relevant Uniform Guidance requirements. The vendor’s scope of work will also include helping with developing and documenting standard operating procedures related to documentation requirements and document retention. Due Date of Completion: December 31, 2024 Responsible Official: Emily Oster - Finance Director, James Harries - Airport Manager, Matthew Bonifer - Accounting Officer, Grants Manager (in recruitment)

Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend that the Village work on written policies and procedures over grants and grant expenditures. Management Response: The Village will work with their auditor to develop and adopt written grant procedures that are in accordance with the Uniform Guidance.

Beyond Shelter Frederick, Inc. respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended September 30 2023. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: LSWG, P.A. Certified Public Accountants 1801 Research Blvd., Suite 320 Rockville, Maryland 20850 Audit Period: Year ended September 30, 2023. The finding from the September 30, 2023 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS - FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT Material Weakness 2302-001 Timesheets Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that management work with the supervisors to ensure they are approving the timesheets through the timekeeping system for documentation purposes or appoint an alternative approver in the absence of the assigned supervisor. Verbal approval is not an acceptable way of approving timesheets. We also recommend training for employees to ensure the timesheet hours ae submitted timely. Action Taken: Employees are now notified when timesheets are due and are made aware of the processing deadline. Going forward, if a management is taking time off, they will assign another manager to approve timesheets in their absence and this will be documented. Employees will also receive training from the payroll company applications. If the Department of Treasury has questions regarding this plan, please call Nick Brown, Executive Director at (301) 631-2670. Sincerely, Nick Brown, Executive Director

Management agrees that the closing process needs to be improved to allow for timely closing of the general ledger and financial reporting in compliance with federal and other regulatory deadlines. Effective May 2024, RHD has implemented a shortened monthly and year-end closing schedule to assist in meeting this goal. Management also believes that audit timing for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 was an anomaly based on the identified need for corporate restructuring that was occurring concurrently with audit process. This added complexity to the subsequent event disclosures and testing required. Additionally, RHD intends to formally affiliate with Inperium as disclosed in Note 3 of the accompanying financial statements. Systems and closing procedures will be evaluated and redesigned as part of the affiliation integration process. Position Title of Person Overseeing This Issue: Corporate Controller
