REPORTABLE NONCOMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS – ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS AWARDED UNDER THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE 2023-006 Federal Reporting Deadline Finding Summary 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F, § 200.512(a)(1) requires the Academy’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package to be submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor’s report(s), or 9 months after the end of the audit period. The Academy’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, were not submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse within 9 months after the end of the audit period. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The audit of the Academy’s SEFA for the year ended June 30, 2023 was not completed within the nine-month reporting period. The completion of the Academy’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023, which is a required component of the federal reporting package, was delayed beyond the 9 month deadline pending obtaining sufficient audit evidence. Academy management will ensure that all information required to comply with federal reporting requirements will be completed and submitted in a timely manner going forward. Official Responsible – The Academy’s Executive Director, Farhiya Einte. Planned Completion Date – June 30, 2024. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding – The Academy agrees with this finding. Plan to Monitor – The Academy’s Executive Director, Farhiya Einte, will monitor the year-end financial closing and reporting process to ensure all federal and state reporting requirements are complied with in the future.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE – SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS 2023-005 Reporting Compliance Requirement Finding Summary 2 CFR § 200.510 requires that the Academy prepare appropriate financial statements, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the year ended June 30, 2023, which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR § 200.502. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over compliance with requirements applicable to federal programs, including separately tracking federal expenditures within the finance system to provide for accurate preparation of the SEFA. During our audit, we noted the Academy did not have sufficient controls in place to ensure completeness of the SEFA and compliance with this requirement. The Academy’s SEFA was understated by $158,815 in federal expenditures related to the Emergency Connectivity Fund federal program. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The Academy will implement new processes and procedures which address this internal control finding to comply with the Uniform Guidance in the future. Official Responsible – The Academy’s Executive Director, Farhiya Einte. Planned Completion Date – June 30, 2024. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding – The Academy agrees with this finding. Plan to Monitor – The Academy’s Executive Director, Farhiya Einte, will assure appropriate internal controls and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with reporting compliance requirements in the future.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 2023 – 003 COVID-19 Provider Relief Funding and American Rescue Plan Rural Payments Recommendation: We recommend the Medical Center design controls to ensure documentation is completed timely and sufficiently on how costs are necessary to respond to COVID-19. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Management has identified that the Medical Center has more than a sufficient amount of lost revenues related to COVID-19 to offset this difference. Action taken in response to finding: The Medical Center will ensure that controls are put into place to capture Covid specific costs in accordance with HHS guidelines.

CONDITION: During my review of the District’s compliance with the laws and regulations related to filing its federal grant program Final Expenditure Reports (FER), I noted that the School District did not file the Final Expenditure Report for the ESSER I grant program. The report was required to be filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) no later than 90 days after the end date of the grant period (September 30, 2022), or within 30 days of expending all grant funding. CRITERIA: The Department of Education requires the completion and submission of a ‘Final Expenditure Report’ (FER) within 30 days of expending all grant funding. In addition, Section 2 CFR 200.344 of the Uniform Guidance requires the submission of financial reports no later than 90 calendar days after the end date of the grant period for performance. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the District develop fiscal procedures to ensure that ‘Final Expenditure Reports’ for future fiscal years are completed and filed in a timely manner based on supporting financial information obtained from the District’s business office, in order to 1) comply with PDE reporting requirements for the District’s applicable federal programs, and 2) to avoid any future sanctions or withholding of grant monies from PDE as a result of not filing these reports in a timely manner. MANAGEMENT’S PLANNED CORRECTIVE ACTION: Management is currently implementing procedures to ensure the timely preparation and submission of all required federal financial report filings with the Department of Education, including but not limited to, the Final Expenditure Reports in compliance with PDE rules and regulations. The timeframe for implementation of these duties is effective immediately.

Dayton’s Bluff Neighborhood Housing Service and Subsidiary submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2023. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Lethert, Skwira, Schultz & Co. LLP, 170 E 7th Place, Saint Paul, MN 55101 Audit period: January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023 The findings from the December 31, 2023 schedule of findings, questioned costs and recommendations. FINDINGS - FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT Finding 2023-001 - Auditor Preparation of the Financial Statements Material Weakness Finding Summary: The Organization does not have an internal control system designed to provide for the preparation of the complete consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying footnotes, as required by GAAP. We were also requested to draft the financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements. Corrective Action Plan: It is not cost effective to have an internal control system designed to provide for the preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes. We requested that our auditors Lethert, Skwira, Schultz & Co. LLP, prepare the financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements as a part of their annual audit. We have designated a member of management to review the drafted financial statements and accompanying notes. Responsible Individuals: Jim Erchul, Executive Director, 651-774-6995 Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: In 2024 during the SEFA analysis and in discussion with auditors it was determined that a USG-funded contract, attached to a grant, was incorrectly left off the SEFA. This was amended as soon as the mistake was noted. AL is required to submit financial statements to a non-US Government donor by June of each calendar year. To comply with this grant stipulation AL starts pre-audit document checks in early January and full fieldwork in mid-February following our financial year close on December 31. While the majority of our annual financial statement is complete by mid-January we have one outstanding USG grant which only reports at the end of February for an end-of-January quarter close. As a result, we are only able to provide a preliminary SEFA when the auditors request the first document checks in January. For FY 2025 we will request that the auditors start with a basic audit of Financial Statements and then submit the SEFA once all the quarterly reports have been submitted to USG. Anticipated Completion Date: Already decided for FY 2024 audit. Responsible Officials: Chief Innovation and Operations Officer and Finance Manager.

The Organization had a significant turnover in both Fiscal Manager Consultant and Executive Director during the year being audited. The Fiscal Manager Consultant was replaced by the Director of Finance in the later part of the fiscal year 2022-2023. This required the new Director of Finance to create and implement as many internal controls that were needed, that were not implemented, and/or recommended by our current CPA firm who had been previously auditing prior years. Additionally, our Director of Finance has engaged the Board of Directors in taking a more active role in the financial statement overview that was not previously recommended to them by our CPA firm.
In the year being audited (July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023), we have removed our Fiscal Audit Consultant and replaced that with a Director of Finance employee that has the skill, knowledge, and education for this matter to be resolved for subsequent audits. Also, moving forward each new grant contract wi...
In the year being audited (July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023), we have removed our Fiscal Audit Consultant and replaced that with a Director of Finance employee that has the skill, knowledge, and education for this matter to be resolved for subsequent audits. Also, moving forward each new grant contract will be discussed with our CPA firm for guidance on the proper application of the grant/contract as it relates to the proper classification of restricted and unrestricted funds. Moreover, since this was our first requirement for a single audit the SEFA form was a new introduction into our internal controls presented by our auditor during the audit and we believe assistance with this form in any subsequent audits will be limited, if needed at all.

Finding 2023-003 – Reporting U.S. Department of Treasury COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF)- ALN 21.027 Reporting – Missoula County has implemented a dual control process over CSLFRF reporting. As part of the month end process the accountant in finance will review all expenditures related to obligated ARPA programs and reconcile this activity with each department. At the end of the quarter after all months have closed and prior to Treasury reporting an additional review of quarter will occur by the Senior Accountant in finance. This documentation will be reconciled to the Treasury quarterly reports to ensure accurate reporting.

Management agrees with the finding of the auditor's report concerning the failure to timely submit our 2023 single audit reporting package and data collection form in a timely manner. We have suffered changes in personnel which had a significant impact on our ability to gather information needed to finalize our accounting records. New staff members who have taken on these responsibilities are in the process of learning those procedures and adapting to our organization's specific requirements. Additionally, there were some communication challenges during the audit process which led to misunderstandings and further delays. In addressing these challenges, we are providing additional training and support for our new staff members and reevaluating our financial closing processes to ensure that reporting deadlines are met in future periods. In addition, we were awaiting two significant financial transactions that will have a direct and substantial impact on our 2022-2023 financial reports. The most significant of those transactions was a very large estate gift that was pending at the close of the fiscal year (gift receivable). The value of this gift was difficult to assess because of the nature of the gift as part of a sizeable and complicated trust (as well as a very lengthy liquidation process). The gift finally arrived in April 2024 which provided us with the correct valuations (an increase in net assets without donor restrictions of over $4 million). A gift of this magnitude had such a substantial financial impact that we needed to wait for its completion in order to properly assess our financial position. The second transaction (a sale of unused property) closed in late May which enabled us to accurately reflect the impact of these previously pending items. Responsible Official: Chris Ronk, Chief Financial Officer (800) 937-5097

SF-425 Federal Financial Report (FFR) Reporting Planned Corrective Action: CCHC's finance department has contacted the HR.SA grants specialist, regarding the carryover of unobligated funds of $1,989,278, and the carryover funds have been approved and successfully moved into the current budget period. The grant compliance manager will assure CCHC's intention to conduct carryover of any unobligated funds by indicating it in the SF-425 reports comments section. This change will strengthen internal controls related to grant management and reporting to prevent future noncompliance incidents. Lastly, CCHC will also review and revise internal procedures for SF- 425 reporting to ensure clarity and adherence to deadlines.

Spectrum Health and Human Services received federal funding in 2023 as a prime recipient of a grant under CFDA #93.243. The grant is subject to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA). Under FFATA, prime recipients are required to report certain information related to subawards to the federal government using the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). Because we did not have a procedure in place to identify federal grants that are subject to FFATA, we did not perform the required reporting under FSRS. To ensure compliance with this requirement, Spectrum Health and Human Services has identified an individual, our Contracts/Grants Manager, who will be responsible for ensuring this reporting is done going forward. Our Contracts/Grants Manager will review all grants for FFATA reporting requirements upon receipt of a federal award and track all deadlines for any reporting required. Additionally, the Contracts/Grants Manager has already reviewed our existing federal awards for any FFATA reporting requirements, and has updated the FSRS system for the required reporting of our subaward under CFDA #93.243.

Criteria or Specific Requirement – Reporting (Reference number 2023-001) Recommendation – The Organization should continue to improve understanding of the guidance related to this type of reporting and work to identify areas for improvement prior to submission to the Provider Relief Fund reporting portal. Management should ensure proper internal controls are put into place to ensure that allowable expenses reported are not reimbursed by other sources or in previous submission period. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan – Management agrees with the finding. The reporting discrepancy was due to a misunderstanding of how the cost portion of the report should have been presented. The presentation was submitted with the same methodology as the lost revenue presentation, which was on a cumulative basis vs. the incremental period required for costs. In addition, staff turnover, including the responsible official (CFO), during this period of time impacted the execution of the last repoting requirement and improper reporting to HHS. The Organization believes that it had sufficient lost revenues to justify retention of all PRF Period 4 funds. There is no expected future reporting for the Provider Relief Funds. Personnel Responsible – John Hydock, Interim CFO Timeline – There is no expected future PRF submissions, but in the event one is required, the Organization will have a quality control process in place to review reporting of expenses to ensure no duplication or carry-over of expenses occurs.
