Condition During the 2024 fiscal year, grant expenditures related to a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania grant (see finding 2024-001) for the public safety building were reported in the American Rescue Plan fund. Since they were reported in the American Rescue Plan fund they were then included in the report submitted for that time period. Cause The decentralized grant administration at the City lead to missing communication between the departments and the improper accounting for the public safety building grant. Recommendation The City should continue to refine its grant administration and accounting functions to allow for a seamless accounting for grant awards. The current decentralized structure for grant administration can allow for grants awarded to not be properly accounted for and grant reimbursement or expenditures not performed timely. Management Response City management agrees with this finding. Grants Manager is in training to use the automated tracking system within Tyler Munis. The system has much greater capability than what we have been using or leveraging to date. During the first 2 quarters of 2026 we are taking steps to use the Tyler Maturity Model to refine and make sure we fully built out and turned on all features, including those for grant activity and project management. We look forward to the opportunity to grow and professionally our operations and grant accounting. Anticipated Completion Date - June 2026 Sincerely, Michael R. Oppenheimer City Controller City of Reading

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Finding – 2024-001 Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Funds, ALN 21.027 Compliance Requirement - Reporting Criteria Recipients of SLFRF funds are required to submit complete, accurate and timely Project and Expenditure Reports in accordance with U.S. Department of Treasury guidance and the Uniform Guidance. Reporting requirements include: • Accurate reporting of obligations and expenditures by project and expenditure category. • Submission of all required data elements prescribed by Treasury. • Retention of documentation is sufficient to support reported financial and programmatic information. Condition The County did not fully comply with U.S. Department of Treasury SLFRF reporting requirements for the period ended December 31, 2024. Specifically, the County’s Project and Expenditure Report submitted through the Treasury Reporting Portal was incomplete and/or inaccurate. Noted exception included: • Inaccurate reporting of obligated and expended amounts for one or more SLFRF projects. As a result, the SLFRF report submitted was not complete, accurate, or fully supported as required. Recommendation We recommend that the County: 1) Establish and document formal SLFRF reporting policies and procedures. 2) Implement a reconciliation process between accounting records and reported SLFRF data. 3) Require supervisory review and approval of all SLFRF submissions prior to reporting to Treasury. 4) Provide ongoing training to staff responsible for SLFRF compliance and reporting. 5) Maintain complete and organized documentation to support all reported obligations and expenditures. Response We are in agreement with the recommendation and management will take steps to strengthen internal controls over SLFRF reporting. These actions include enhancing reconciliation procedures between the accounting records and amounts reported to the Treasury reporting portal and implementing an additional level of supervisory review prior to report submission. Anticipated Completion Date This will be corrected for the December 31, 2025 audit. Person Responsible Deborah Gallo Deputy County Treasurer

Corrective Action Planned: Management acknowledges the finding related to the lack of formal policies or procedures in place requiring independent review or approval of vaccine inventory reconciliations prior to submission of the Vaccine Order Form during the time of the audit. 1. Inventory Reconciliation Workflow and System Controls The State of Connecticut utilizes CT WiZ, a centralized vaccine ordering and supply management system. To maintain ordering privileges, the program enforces a strict regulatory safeguard: inventory must be fully reconciled every two weeks. Failure to complete this reconciliation triggers an automated, hard stop within CT WiZ, preventing any additional vaccine orders from being placed. To ensure absolute accuracy and data integrity, our practice executes a standardized, threepart reconciliation process that typically leverages a dual-provider verification model: • Part 1: Physical Count (Floor Staff): Clinical nurses on the floor conduct a manual, physical inventory of all vaccine doses, cross-referencing exact lot numbers and expiration dates. • Part 2: Electronic Health Record Alignment (Coordinator): The designated Vaccine Coordinator reviews the physical counts against the electronic Lot Manager log within Epic to identify and resolve any administrative discrepancies. • Part 3: State System Data Entry (Coordinator): The verified quantities are formally submitted into the CT WiZ portal to complete the biweekly cycle and clear the system for subsequent orders. Staffing Redundancy: While a single coordinator may occasionally manage all three steps if cross-covering the floor, the workflow is deliberately structured to divide tasks between floor nurses (physical counts) and site coordinators (via EMR reconciliation and CT WiZ entry). 2. Vaccine Oversight Team Vaccine operations are managed through a centralized leadership structure with site-specific accountability to ensure consistent oversight at clinic locations. Vaccine operations may be managed by a senior nurse practice manager, practice manager, lead nurse or a backup coordinator. This triad ensures continuous coverage, strict adherence to ordering schedules, and immediate troubleshooting for storage or inventory alerts. 3. Storage, Handling, and Annual Training Compliance In alignment with state oversight expectations and the strict guidelines governing CVP asset management, cold-chain integrity and proper handling are heavily protected. To mitigate risk and standardize knowledge across all care teams, the following educational requirements are mandated: • Mandatory Annual Training: All rostered nursing personnel - including core staff, float pool, and per diem nurses - are strictly required to complete annual training modules dedicated to CVP guidelines and CDC Storage and Handling. • Verification of Competency: Training must be completed through the official CDC TRAIN platform, and employees must submit their earned certificates of completion to clinical leadership to be maintained on file for audit readiness.

NAME OF CONTACT: Terri Brown, Director of Finance CORRECTIVE ACTION: Management acknowledges the finding. The delayed submission of the Data Collection Form and reporting package was primarily the result of an extended audit timeline caused by the transition to a new audit firm. In addition, delays associated with the completion of prior audit matters and the new auditor's initial review process contributed to the timing of the final audit report and subsequent FAC submission. Since that time, the Organization has hired a new auditor, improved internal closing procedures, and implemented enhanced monitoring of audit and federal reporting deadlines. Management is committed to timely compliance with all Uniform Guidance reporting requirements and believes these improvements will help prevent future delays. PROPOSED COMPLETION DATE: May 30, 2026

NAME OF CONTACT: Terri Brown, Director of Finance CORRECTIVE ACTION: Management acknowledges the finding; however, it is important to clarify that the circumstances leading to the deficiency were significantly impacted by delated and unresponsive actions from the federal agency. Specifically, the Organization submitted required reports and sought timely guidance and approvals from the federal agency, but responses were not received within the federal deadlines. These delays were outside of the Organization’s control and directly affected the timely reconciliation and finalization of reported amounts. Notably, the federal government has acknowledged delayed reports and there were no findings in their FY24 audit. Management will continue to improve internal controls and documentation practices while also documenting all federal communications and follow-up efforts to document the impact of future federal delays. PROPOSED COMPLETION DATE: Implemented and Ongoing

Management has reviewed the finding and recommendations. We note that this item was identified as a repeat issue primarily due to the timing of the prior year's audit. Because the FY23 findings were delivered after FY24 had already concluded, the Organization did not have the opportunity to incorporate the auditors' feedback during the FY24 audited period. However, the Organization took immediate, proactive steps to deploy enhanced internal controls for FY25 to ensure continuous alignment with federal standards. To ensure strict adherence to 2 CFR § 200.302(a), we are actively implementing a more regular reconciliation process between government grant revenue claimed and actual revenue earned. As a key part of this initiative, the Organization has developed and deployed new internal financial tools designed to incorporate automation into our daily workflows. By utilizing these automated tools-such as standardized templates for recording cash receipts and systematically clearing Accounts Receivable-we have significantly enhanced the accuracy of our data entries and reduced the risk of manual misstatements. Our ongoing objective is to leverage these tools to establish clear, standardized documentation procedures, ensuring that all financial reports and claims are consistently generated from a reconciled general ledger. Management remains fully committed to dedicating the necessary time and resources to mature these financial controls and ensure robust compliance with federal regulations.

The District acknowledges the failure to submit the Single Audit data collection form for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required 30-day post-opinion deadline. The form was never submitted for that fiscal year. Additionally, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the District’s accounting records were not available until March 2026, causing the audit to extend well beyond the required nine-month completion deadline and resulting in further noncompliance with Single Audit reporting requirements. Current management has improved procedures related to the management of Single Audit compliance obligations. The District, in coordination with the third-party accounting firm and the external auditor, has established a compliance calendar that identifies all Single Audit submission deadlines and assigns responsibility for preparation, certification, and submission of the data collection form. Procedures have been implemented to ensure accounting records are available on a timely basis to support completion of the audit within the required nine-month window, starting with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. We plan to ensure that the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 data collection form is submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and that the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 Single Audit is completed and submitted within 30 days of the audit opinion date, and that all future Single Audit data collection forms are submitted in a timely manner.

The District acknowledges the material correction of an error to the District’s financial statements. This situation occurred due to a material weakness in internal controls over compliance with federal award requirements for the Education Stabilization Fund (CFDA 84.425U), passed through the Colorado Department of Education, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Specifically, the District lacked adequate segregation of duties over payroll and human resources processes, both of which were performed by a single employee without a secondary review. In addition, the District did not maintain adequate reimbursement request documentation or regularly reconcile ESSER grant expenditures to reimbursement requests, as required under 2 CFR 200.303. These conditions resulted in material audit 60 adjustments, significant audit delays, and the engagement of a third-party accounting firm to reconstruct grant records. Notwithstanding these control deficiencies, the District was in compliance with allowable activities, allowable costs, and cash management requirements, as allowable costs exceeded the amounts requested for reimbursement. Current management has improved procedures related to the oversight of federal grant compliance and payroll processes. The District has engaged a third-party accounting firm and hired new staff to assist with grants reconciliation, reimbursement request preparation, and internal controls over federal awards. A secondary review process has been established for payroll and human resources transactions to ensure that no single employee has unchecked control over these functions. Grant reconciliation responsibilities have been reassigned to incorporate segregation of duties, and a defined schedule for monthly ESSER reconciliations and reimbursement submissions has been implemented. We plan to have all ESSER grant activity fully reconciled, reimbursement documentation complete and available for review, and monthly reconciliation and secondary review procedures operational and documented for all applicable federal grant programs prior to the start of the audit process. Estimated date of implementation of the corrective action plan: June 30, 2026 Person responsible for implementation of the corrective action plan: Dr. Kirk Henwood

Controls Over Reporting for SMT Program Management acknowledges that encounter notes were not entered on a timely basis and that an inactive participant remained on the program listing during the audit period. The Organization will implement a supervisory review process requiring that encounter notes are entered within a defined timeframe following each program interaction and reviewed by a supervisor for completeness and accuracy. The participant listing will be reconciled monthly to ensure that inactive individuals are promptly flagged and removed. Monthly reports will be documented as reviewed and dated at the time of submission to maintain an auditable record of timely reporting. This process has already taken place in late 2025 and the CFO and Controller will oversee the process.

Controls Over Federal Programs Management acknowledges that documented control procedures were absent across all selections tested for federal expenditures, and that payroll allocations were not consistently reviewed or supported throughout the year. The Organization will require that all invoices coded to federal award programs include documentation of review, proper allocation rationale, and management approval before payment is processed. Payroll allocations will be updated in both the payroll and accounting systems on a regular basis, supported by actual time records or documented time studies rather than year-end estimates. This process has already taken place in late 2025 and the CFO and Controller will oversee the process.

Vaccine Education Grant Reporting Management acknowledges the repeat finding that quarterly reports required under the NYS OMH Vaccine Education Block Grant were not submitted as required by the contract. The Organization will designate a staff member responsible for tracking all grant reporting deadlines and will implement a reporting calendar that captures submission requirements for each active grant contract. Grant contracts will be reviewed in full prior to execution so that all reporting obligations are understood and built into operational workflows. Management will also establish an internal review and approval process for all grant reports prior to submission to ensure completeness and timeliness. This will be overseen by the Controller in FY26.
