The accounting staff will continue searching for supporting documentation related to the disbursements amounting $17,565. The Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFR) Department of Treasury Final Rule of January 2022., offers a standard allowance for revenue loss of $10 million, allowing recipients to select between a standard amount of revenue loss or complete a full revenue loss calculation. Recipients that select the standard allowance may use that amount, in many cases their full award, for government services. The Municipality’s management selected the standard allowance, since the amount awarded of CSLFR funds were less than $10 million ad determined that the use of these funds was for governmental services, which are services traditionally provided by recipient governments. The Municipality determined that the payroll expenditures of several departments of the Municipality’s General Fund will be charged to the CSLFR fund as government services. The transfer of $1,468,197 of CSLFR to other Municipality’s bank accounts was to cover the payrolls related to governmental services accounted in the Municipality’s General Fund during the fiscal year 2021-2022. Due to an involuntary omission, these transfers were not recorded as expenditures in the CSLFR fund in the accounting system of the Municipality. To correct this accounting error the Municipality’s management gave instructions to the accounting staff to start reclassifying in the accounting system as soon as possible, these transfers to payroll expenditures accounts in the CSLFR fund. Municipality’s management believes that this finding should be related to an issue of reporting because the Municipality complied with the requirements of activities allowed or unallowed and allowable costs, since the Municipality disbursed CSLFR funds related to governmental services in accordance with the Department of Treasury Final Rule of January 2022. No actions are required related to this finding.

Finding 2022-001 Condition Bread & Roses Community Fund did not submit its June 30, 2022 reporting package within the required timeframe. 2 CFR 200.152(c) requires that an entity submit the audited financial statements and data collection form ("reporting package") within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the audit or nine months after the end of the audit period. Criteria Bread & Roses Community Fund is responsible for establishing internal controls to make sure the reporting package is submitted timely. Cause Bread & Roses Community Fund was not able to complete the reporting package by the required time period due to staffing issues. Effect Bread & Roses Community Fund did not submit its June 30, 2022 reporting package within the required timeframe. Recommendation Bread & Roses Community Fund should develop a reporting package timeline and submit the required documents within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the audit or nine months after the end of the audit period. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management agrees with this recommendation. The COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges for Bread & Roses Community Fund. During the global pandemic, we doubled our commitment to the grassroots organizations we support and our stakeholders when other organizations paused programming. Despite key staff departures and substantial changes to service providers, we remained steadfast in our mission, working tirelessly to orchestrate fiscal operations and connect programmatic processes. This resulted in us needing more operational capacity to redirect resources to assist our 2 communities and those most affected by the pandemic. These shifts in operations contributed to a delay in submitting the reporting package for FY22. Management and the Board of Directors of Bread & Roses Community Fund are actively working to address the capacity challenges that lead to reporting delays through an extensive process review. The organization aims to build the necessary capacity to support and develop its fiscal infrastructure. In September 2023, Bread & Roses successfully hired our first internal Senior Director of Finance and Operations. Since then, Management has been diligently working to streamline processes, standardize procedures, and improve workflows between Bread & Roses's programmatic areas and finance. These improvements are designed to ensure operational efficiency, including the timely preparation and submission of the reporting package. We have established a routine month-end close through the checklist implementation completed by the Senior Director of Finance & Operations and reviewed by the Executive Director. The addition of this monthly process will ensure timely submission of the reporting package at year-end. While the work to develop BRCF's fiscal infrastructure is ongoing, we anticipate having a complete set of systems and controls to remediate findings by the end of FY25.

Harrington Group Certified Public Accountants, LLP 2698 Mataro Street Pasadena, CA 91107 Audit period: January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022; and January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2023 The findings from the 2022 and 2023 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs are discussed below. FINDING—FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS Finding 2022-001 – Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Reconciliation U.S Department of the Treasury Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds—Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Significant Deficiency: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was inaccurate and incomplete for the fiscal years-ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 as it did not include all programs that were federally funded. The original funding for the programs identified were not initially federally based. However, during COVID-19, the renewal of the programs continued through federal funding that were omitted from the SEFA reconciliation. Recommendation: Implement procedures to designate management members responsible for the completion and accuracy of the SEFA. All government grants and contracts should be thoroughly reviewed to determine the funding source. Those identified as federal should be included in the SEFA. Corrective Action: Under the direction of the Chief Financial Officer and as a new member of the fiscal team, the Director of Grants Management and Compliance will conduct a thorough review of all contracts, including renewal contracts, to confirm the funding source, whether NLSLA is the lead agency or a passthrough agency. If the renewal funding source is federally based, NLSLA will request a Notice of Federal Award to ensure proper inclusion in the annual SEFA and related Single Audit report. Under the direction of the Chief Financial Officer, the Controller will prepare the annual SEFA reconciliation to include all identified federally funded grants based on the contract agreements and provided Notice of Federal Awards. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date for Corrective Action: The Corrective Action has been immediately implemented. If there are questions regarding this corrective action plan, please contact Lynne Hiortdahl, Chief Financial Officer, at (818) 291-1763 or LynneHiortdahl@nlsla.org. Sincerely, Lynne Hiortdahl Chief Financial Officer

The National Harm Reduction Coalition (NHRC) leadership takes the findings seriously and concurs with the critical importance of understanding of and compliance with specific grant terms and consistency of reporting for all such grant agreements; including requisite polices and procedures to ensure compliance by appropriate personnel. NHRC acknowledges that significant turnover and vacancies within the finance department including the Senior Finance & Compliance Lead and other key leadership positions within the organization is the primary cause of the finding. In response to the audit finding, we have initiated corrective actions to address the identified deficiency as follows: 1. We established Post Grant Award meetings with personnel that are responsible for financial, contractual and programmatic reporting; identifying their requisite roles to ensure compliance within the project management platform. 2. We have established bi-monthly meetings with requisite staff to review and evaluate financial and program compliance performance. 3. We hired a Senior Finance & Compliance Lead very knowledgeable in Uniform Guidance. 4. NHRC is also requiring requisite staff to take Uniform Guidance training and annual updates as made available. 5. Implementing processes and controls that ensure a complete and accurate SEFA and other related compliance reporting.
