Finding No. 2025-001 – Late Report Filing (SF-425) Federal Program: Health Center Program Cluster, ALN 93.224 – U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action Guillermo J. Jiménez Ramos, Chief Financial Officer Views of Responsible Officials Management concurs with the finding. Corrective Action Planned 1. The Fiscal Department will implement a Federal Compliance Reporting Calendar covering all required federal financial reports, including the Federal Financial Report (SF-425) and Payment Management System (PMS) submissions, identifying for each report its due date, the individual responsible for its preparation, the reviewer, and the submission evidence to be retained. 2. Responsibility for the preparation of each SF-425 report will remain formally assigned to the Fiscal Department, under the oversight of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Each report will be subject to CFO review and approval prior to submission. Preparation of the reports will commence no later than thirty (30) days before the established due date, in accordance with internal control procedures and reporting timelines. 3. Automated reminders will be configured at thirty (30), fifteen (15), and five (5) days before each filing deadline, directed to both the preparer and the reviewer, to provide adequate oversight and prevent future delays. 4. Confirmation of each submission (PMS acknowledgment) will be retained and filed with the report workpapers as evidence of timely filing, and the status of federal reporting deadlines will be monitored monthly by the Chief Financial Officer. Anticipated Completion Date July 31, 2026
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE – SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS – ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS 2025-002 Reporting Compliance Requirement – Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Finding Summary 2 CFR § 200.510 requires that the City prepare appropriate annu...
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE – SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS – ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS 2025-002 Reporting Compliance Requirement – Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Finding Summary 2 CFR § 200.510 requires that the City prepare appropriate annual financial statements, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA), which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR § 200.502. The City did not have proper controls in place to ensure completeness of the SEFA and compliance with this requirement. During our audit, we noted the City did not have sufficient controls in place to ensure the accurate preparation of the SEFA in compliance with this requirement. The City’s SEFA for fiscal 2025 was overstated by $147,700 in federal expenditures due to the inclusion of costs that were incurred in the previous fiscal year. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned – The SEFA overstatement resulted from including prior-year expenditures in the 2025 reporting period. The City did not prepare a SEFA in the previous fiscal year because federal expenditures did not meet the Single Audit threshold; this contributed to the oversight in tracking the timing of eligible expenditures. To strengthen the year-end reporting process, the City has implemented updated procedures requiring a grant-level reconciliation of expenditures and revenues at year-end to ensure they are recorded in the proper fiscal period before preparing the SEFA. Federal grant coordinators and Finance Department staff will jointly review federal expenditures for accuracy and timing. This strengthened process will help ensure complete and accurate federal expenditure reporting in the SEFA. Official Responsible – Kim Sommerland, Finance Director. Planned Completion Date – June 30, 2026. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding – The City agrees with the finding and has implemented additional procedures to strengthen controls over reporting. Plan to Monitor – The Finance Director will verify that year-end grant reconciliations are completed and reviewed prior to SEFA preparation.

Federal Award Finding 2025-001 Corrective Action Plan: DePelchin has implemented an internal review process whereby a grant specialist on the evaluation team conducts a monthly review of all enrollments to verify that eligibility requirements, including priority characteristics and service area criteria, have been met. Program staff, evaluation staff, and data team members have been provided additional training on the applicable eligibility requirements and documentation standards. Additionally, DePelchin has implemented an annual cross-functional review process involving program leadership, evaluation staff, and fiscal representatives to review eligibility requirements and key contract provisions prior to the start of each fiscal year. This review is intended to ensure that any changes in program requirements are identified, communicated, and incorporated into program operations in a timely manner. Based on these corrective actions and enhanced monitoring procedures, DePelchin believes the risk of similar eligibility documentation issues has been substantially mitigated.

In its 2025 Compliance Report, auditors made the following finding: Finding 2025‐001: Reporting – Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and compliance finding. Criteria: Under this grant program, the Foundation is required to complete semi‐annual performance reports in the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system. Condition: During reporting testing, it was noted that the Foundation had not completed or submitted the required performance reports during the year. Cause: The Foundation didn’t implement an effective control for ensuring the required reporting under the grant was completed and submitted timely. Effect: Internal control was not properly designed to identify the required reporting and prevent noncompliance, and the Foundation was not in compliance with the reporting requirement. Recommendation: The Foundation should implement internal controls over the reporting process that ensures the required reporting is submitted in a timely manner. In addition, the Foundation should ensure grant agreements are reviewed in detail so no required reporting is overlooked. In response, Southern Gateway Public Green Foundation commits to the following Corrective Action Plan:  Remedy: In order to remedy this violation, staff will take immediate action to file missing semiannual reports in cooperation with general contractor.  Responsibility for Implementing Remedy: Reports will be filed by Anne Hagan, VP of Strategic Initiatives.  Verification of Remedy: Reports will be reviewed by April Allen, President and CEO, and filing of reports will also be confirmed by April Allen, President and CEO  Deadline for Remedy: As soon as possible but no later than 7/31/26.  Consequences in the event remedy is not undertaken: Failure to file reports could result in request for reimbursement of grant revenue.  Training to Prevent future violations: Reporting requirements and grant agreements will be reviewed by Anne Hagan.  Statement on Consequences of Repeated Violations: If future reports are late or missed, already reimbursed grant payments may have to be repaid and SGPGF may not be eligible for future grant payments.

Recommendation – As the Organization continues to improve in processes and as time allows, completion of the annual audit and required work earlier in the year to allow for more timely reporting will assist in relieving this compliance finding. Management’s Response – The Organization will work to establish policies and procedure, and management took steps in 2026 to change personnel within the finance functions and hired a new Chief Financial Officer in 2026 with extensive hospital finance and accounting experience. The Chief Financial Officer’s duties will include additional reviews and assistance with account reconciliations as well as training of current staff and process improvements in this area, with a goal of removing this deficiency in the future.

Management will implement procedures designed to ensure the timely preparation, review, and completion of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards ("SEFA") and the timely submission of the Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Specific actions include: • Reviewing and adjusting the formal year-end timetable for preparation of the SEFA. • Assigning responsibility for accumulating and reconciling federal expenditure information to a single accountable resource. • Enhancing periodic management and auditor review of the status of the audit and reporting process. • Conducting a post-audit review to ensure recurring delays do not occur.• Engaging external consultants to evaluate accounting department staffing levels, workflow processes, and internal controls and to provide and implement recommendations for strengthening the financial reporting function. Management believes these corrective actions will reduce the risk of undetected errors, improve the timeliness of account reconciliations, and strengthen the overall system of internal control over financial reporting.

Finding 2025-005 - Untimely Release of Title IV Credit Balances (Significant Deficiency): Condition - During testing of student account activity, we identified that fourteen (14) out of sixty (60) sampled students had Title IV created credit balances that remained on their accounts for more than 14 days without being released to the student or parent.

Management's Response and Planned Corrective Action: This finding relates primarily to the submission of annual grant reports SF-271 and SF-425, which are required by the FAA to be filed each year. The SF-271 (Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement) are used to report project expenditures and request reimbursement of federal funds. It shows how much of the grant has been spent (outlays) and how much reimbursement is being requested from the funding agency. SF-425 (Federal Financial Report) provides a comprehensive summary of the financial status of a grant, including total expenditures, federal funds used, recipient cost share (if applicable), and remaining balances, to ensure proper accountability and compliance with grant requirements. Although these reports were submitted after the established due dates, management maintained the reporting requirements as an active and ongoing priority. These reports were regularly discussed during monthly coordination meetings involving Airport staff and the FAA Airports District Office (ADO), as well as during weekly internal staff meetings. During these regular discussions with the FAA ADO, the Airport was not advised that it was out of compliance with reporting deadlines. Rather, the FAA consistently indicated that reports should be submitted as soon as practicable. The Airport remained aware of its reporting obligations and their importance, particularly in support of ongoing efforts to secure funding for the terminal expansion project. Notwithstanding the above, management acknowledges that formal tracking mechanisms and documented follow-up procedures can be strengthened to ensure earlier identification and resolution of incomplete or missing grant data. To address this, management will enhance internal controls over grant reporting to ensure timely and complete submissions. Improvements will include implementing calendar-based tracking tools and structured notification procedures, with reminders and follow-up communications beginning at the FAA fiscal year-end (September 30) and continuing through the reporting due date (December 31). Additionally, management will coordinate with the FAA and MDOT to secure reliable access to the FAA’s Delphi System, where the data necessary to complete these reports resides. Communication with both the FAA ADO and MDOT will be further strengthened during the critical period leading up to reporting deadlines to ensure that any missing or incomplete information is promptly identified and addressed. Regular internal discussions regarding grant reporting status will also continue to support timely resolution of outstanding items. Management believes these corrective actions will mitigate the risk of delayed or incomplete reporting and strengthen overall compliance with grant requirements. Responsible Party for Corrective Action: Mark Bishop, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: June 2026.
