Finding 2025-001: Inaccurate and Untimely Enrollment Status Reporting Comments on Finding and Recommendations: Statement of Concurrence: We concur with the finding of Inaccurate and Untimely Enrollment Status Reporting The inaccuracies and delays were mainly the result of our scheduling process. Currently, we update enrollment maintenance every two months, typically on the day prior to the scheduled dates. We now understand that enrollment status updates must be completed within 15 days after the scheduled date. Actions Taken or Planned: We have reviewed the enrollment maintenance schedule and adjusted our process to ensure compliance with the requirement. Moving forward, enrollment status will be updated within 15 days after the scheduled date. This adjustment will be fully implemented starting from the next scheduled update on 09/30/2025. 9/26/2025 Dong-Hua Yang MD, PhD Date Title: Administrative Dean Telephone: 516-739-1545 Email: administrative_dean@nyctcm.edu

Auditor’s Recommendation: “We recommend management implement internal controls to ensure financial reports are submitted accurately, with supporting documentation retained.” Management response: The Family Place has reviewed its financial reporting procedures and concurs with the finding. During the audit period, staffing deficiencies in grants management and compliance oversight contributed to supporting documentation of financial reports submitted not having been retained. In 2025, The Family Place created a new internal compliance department and hired a Grants Manager to provide dedicated oversight of grant drawdowns and reporting. These changes, together with updated procedures and training, are designed to ensure all future financial reports comply with Uniform Guidance requirements and supporting documentation is retained. Corrective actions: The Executive Leadership Team has prioritized strengthening reporting controls and has already implemented several measures: The newly hired Grants Manager and internal compliance department are responsible for reviewing and approving all financial reports to confirm that expenditures have been incurred and liquidated prior to request. Finance sta􀀁 and program managers are being trained on reporting requirements under 2 CFR 200.320. All financial reports will be reconciled to the general ledger with supporting documentation and will be reviewed by the Grants Manager and The Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer before submission. These processes will receive additional oversight by the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive Officer, and the Board of Trustees. Responsible parties for corrective actions: The Grants Manager, working within the internal compliance department, will have direct responsibility for ensuring financial reports are accurate and supporting documentation is retained. The Chief Financial Officer will review and approve reconciliations prior to drawdown. The Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany A. Tate, with assistance from the newly established Compliance Department, will confirm timely compliance and will receive regular status updates. Separately, the Chief Financial Officer will report progress to the Audit & Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees. Anticipated completion date: The new internal compliance department and Grants Manager began operating together in September 2025. Full compliance monitoring is currently in place.

Auditor’s Recommendation: “We recommend management ensure sufficient staffing and oversight to abide by internal processes and procedures which require prior approval of expenditures and reports prior to drawdown or submission.” Management response: The Family Place has reviewed its award compliance procedures and concurs with the finding. During the period, responsible departments—including the finance and accounting and human resources teams—experienced unexpected turnover, a significant shortage of staffing, and a time reporting system conversion. As a result, certain compliance procedures were not performed consistently and timely, resulting in unintentional noncompliance with respect to allowable costs, cash management, and reporting controls. Corrective actions: The Executive Leadership Team reviewed the staffing needs of the finance and accounting and human resources teams in 2024. Hiring and training staff to achieve a full team was established as key objectives for the Executive Leadership Team in early 2025. As of September 2025, all vacant positions in both teams have either been filled or have been posted and are in active hiring process. The Chief Financial Officer and Chief of Human Resources have reviewed all internal procedures related to award compliance and will ensure that compliance is timely and well documented going forward. Specifically, the Chief Financial Officer will ensure that purchase orders, invoices, financial reports, and performance reports are completed, reviewed, and approved prior to submission and funding. These processes will have additional oversight by the Chief Executive Officer, with assistance from the newly established Compliance Department, and the Board of Trustees. Responsible parties for corrective actions: The Chief Financial Officer will have direct responsibility for award compliance and will be supported by Chief of Human Resources. The Chief Executive Officer, Tiffany A. Tate, with assistance from the newly established Compliance Department, will confirm that compliance occurs on a timely basis and prior to submission and funding. Separately, the Chief Financial Officer will report on progress to the Audit & Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Executive Leadership Team will be responsible for ensuring the finance and accounting and human resources teams achieve and maintain full staffing levels. Anticipated completion date: The organization is actively implementing the corrective actions by ensuring sufficient staffing as mentioned above and training to ensure prior approval of all grant reports and drawdown requests. As of October 1, 2025, all grant reports will be appropriately approved and documented as such.

Finding Tax Disclosure Submission. Per the grant agreements to the above awards section 19 Reporting Taxes on Foreign Assistance Funds. The Recipient is required to submit a report detailing foreign taxes assessed under this award during the prior U.S. Government fiscal year (10/01 - 09/30). The report must be submitted to the Grants Officer on an annual basis by February 15. Management had processes in place to submit each tax report on a timely basis; however these processes did not occur. Grant countries impacted: Cameroon, South Sudan, Uganda, Ethiopia, Iraq, and Thailand. Corrective Action Plan Management concurs with the findings. Although internal procedures for timely submission of the foreign tax reports were previously in place, the organization experienced significant turnover in key management positions during the reporting period. This transition disrupted the continuity of compliance processes and led to failure to meet the tax disclosure reporting deadlines. To prevent recurrence of this compliance lapse, JRS/USA is taking the following corrective measures: 1. Formalized Tax Reporting SOP A formal Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) will be developed for the Foreign Tax Disclosure Reporting Process, outlining: a) Roles and responsibilities (JRS/USA and country offices) b) Required data sources c) Timeline for data collection and submission d) Review and approval workflows This SOP will be distributed to all relevant compliance, finance, and grant management staff. 2. Centralized Calendar and Tracker A centralized compliance calendar and submission tracker will be implemented, incorporating the February 15 foreign tax report deadline. Automated reminders will be sent to responsible staff beginning in January each year to initiate the reporting process well in advance. 3. Designated Focal Point A single point of contact at JRS/USA has been assigned as the Tax Disclosure Focal Point, responsible for: a) Coordinating data collection from field offices b) Ensuring timely submission to the Grants Officer c) Maintaining documentation of the submission and confirmation of receipt 4. Training and Onboarding Updates Compliance and finance staff, both at JRS/USA and in the field, will be trained on the tax disclosure requirements and the new SOP. This training will also be integrated into the onboarding process for new hires in relevant roles to reduce the risk of future disruptions due to staff turnover. 5. Quarterly Internal Compliance Check-ins Although the report is submitted annually, quarterly check-ins will be held by the JRS/USA Compliance Team to review upcoming deadlines, including the tax report, to ensure ongoing visibility and proactive planning. Timeline for Implementation All corrective actions have been implemented or will be fully in effect by October 30, 2025. Responsible Party Samira Ahmed, Senior Grants and Compliance Specialist, will be responsible for overseeing the tax disclosure process and ensuring timely and accurate submissions going forward.

Corrective Action Plan: Due to operational management turnover and restructuring experienced in 2024 and 2025, this corrective action plan has been delayed. Atrium Health CMHA management has engaged with outside consultants in the third quarter of 2025 to examine and redesign various processes and work flows. This project is expected to address the gap in SFA transactional review and approval internal controls that are arising due to the SFA program size, limited number of subject matter experts, and the management turn; and result in mitigating controls and policies being implemented to ensure the accuracy and completeness of all SFA transactions. Proposed Completion Date: By December of 2025, Atrium Health CMHA management will complete the corrective action.

2024-002 – Incorrect Filing of Form ED-209 to the EDA Management inaccurately reported balances on Form ED-209 to the EDA. This inaccurate reporting is due to a lack of management review over the reported amounts. Per the ED-209 report, PIDC had $6,048,775 of principal outstanding on loans as of December 31, 2024; however, per the supporting documentation only $5,048,775 of principal outstanding on loans was recorded within the financial statements as of December 31, 2024. Corrective Action During 2024, PIDC initiated an EDA loan to a borrower in the amount of $1,000,000. While the loan was committed at December 31, 2024, the loan was never disbursed. We will establish a dedicated oversight team of existing personnel to monitor the reporting process and to ensure reconciliation of our loan portfolio system. Furthermore, we will streamline our reporting processes by conducting a thorough review and implementing necessary changes. Ongoing training for portfolio management staff on new techniques and software tools will be initiated and continue on a regular basis. Regular progress reviews will be conducted to address quality issues promptly. By implementing these corrective actions, we aim to prevent inaccurate reporting Individual Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Lawrence McComie SVP & Chief Credit Officer 215-496-8145 Anticipated Completion Date: 30 days from issuance, management will file an updated ED-209 report to the EDA.

Corrective Action Plan for Finding 2024-002 Finding 2024-002 – Allowable Costs - Assistance Listing: 14.251 – Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding and Miscellaneous Grants Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Views of Responsible Officials: The Organization concurs with the auditor’s finding and appreciates the feedback provided. We acknowledge that documentation submitted in support of draw requests did not always align precisely with the accounting records, specifically the profit and loss by class. Although there were sufficient allowable costs incurred during the audit period to support the drawdowns, we understand that consistency between supporting documentation and accounting system records is essential for compliance with Federal requirements. Corrective Action Plan: We are in the process of developing formal written procedures for managing draw requests under federal awards. These procedures will include verifying that all draw requests are supported by invoices or expenditure documentation that is properly coded in the accounting system. Ensuring that supporting documentation submitted for reimbursement exactly matches the accounting entries, both in amount and coding (by class/funding source). Because the Organization is relatively new to managing federal awards, we will provide targeted training to accounting and program staff on draw request preparation and review.

2024-003 – Grant Reporting Finding Type. Immaterial Noncompliance/Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance (Reporting). Program. Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds; U.S. Department of Treasury; ALN 21.027, Small Business Support Hubs Program passed through the Michigan Strategic Fund. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. Although we were able to review the quarterly reporting due during the fiscal year, we initially noted that the reports quarterly totals did not add up to the year-to-date totals, and total cost for the year reported, as well as quarterly totals, did not agree to the general ledger or the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Management was able to subsequently correct these errors. Additionally, it was noted that there was no formal review and approval process over the completion and submission of the grant reports. As a result of this condition, the Organization reported inaccurate amounts to the grant pass-through agency. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the Organization base all grant financial reporting on general ledger detail of costs and that the reporting be reconciled to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards at year-end. In addition, all reports should be reviewed and approved by appropriate personnel prior to submission. Corrective Action. LEAP will be following the recommendation of basing all grant financial reporting on general ledger detail of costs and being more diligent in reconciling that ledger to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards at year-end. Further all reports moving forward will be reviewed and approved by CFO and COO in addition to the department head who is compiling with their team. LEAP’s modifications to its Grants Management SOP in 2025 are designed to also cover grant reporting process per Uniform Guidance requirements. This grant reporting issue too will be covered in the content of LEAP’s training for all management team members set to occur in August. Responsible Person. Tony Klisch, LEAP CFO Anticipated Completion Date. August 31, 2025

Description of Finding: The Foundation and its affiliates did not ensure proper performance reporting was completed for individual grants. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Tulsa Community Foundation agrees with this finding. Corrective Action: The Foundation will collaborate more closely with project partners of federal grants to establish reporting deadlines and monitor individual reporting requirements throughout the year. This will be in tandem with establishing effective internal controls as per UGG 2 CFR 200.303. The Foundation will take steps to ensure that all required reports are submitted in a timely manner and all relevant documentation and evidence of reports’ submissions are retained in an effective manner. To support this corrective action, the Foundation has hired an experienced senior accountant to strengthen internal capacity. The qualified senior accountant will oversee federal grants and ensure ongoing compliance with internal controls and help to prevent recurrence of the issue. Name of Contact Person: Kristin Karlin, Controller Projected Completion Date: The Foundation projects the new policy documentation to be complete and the process for internal monitoring documentation to be established by December 31, 2025.

Finding 2024-001 Criteria: The Authority did not maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Condition: During audit testing we noted the following:  The Authority recorded a prior period adjustment in order to correct misstatements of deferred inflows of resources and leases receivable.  Numerous adjusting entries were required to present the Authority's financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Cause: Controls were not fully executed to ensure that the Authority recorded and reported financial data consistently and reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Effect: The Authority required an immoderate number of adjustments in order to report accurate results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Auditors' Recommendation: We recommend the Authority implement their internal controls; specifically, the Authority should ensure they are performing monthly procedures whereby financial statements and general ledger accounts are reviewed for accuracy and reconciled to their subsidiary ledgers. Authority Response and Planned Corrective Action: The Authority agrees with the findings and is in process of assessing and modifying internal controls to avoid similar issues. The Authority will reconcile the statement of financial position and other key account balances on an ongoing and periodic basis. The Authority will also reconcile account balances following any large and unusual adjusting entries. Aaron Estabrook, Executive Director, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by December 31, 2025.
