U.S. Department of Treasury • Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Condition: During audit testing of financial reporting for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program, the Organization was unable to locate three of ten financial reports requested for review. As a result, auditors were unable to verify the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the reported financial information for those reporting periods. Recommendation: The Organization should strengthen internal controls over financial reporting and record retention by establishing clear procedures to ensure that all required reports are accurately prepared, timely submitted, and retained in accordance with federal requirements. Management should designate responsible personnel and implement monitoring procedures to verify compliance with reporting and documentation standards. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Organization will require that all supporting documentation related to financial reporting—including reports, source data, approvals, and correspondence—be retained electronically within Sage Intacct using standardized attachment and naming conventions. Management will implement periodic monitoring procedures, including supervisory review and internal spot checks, to verify that reports are timely submitted and that documentation is properly retained in Sage Intacct in accordance with applicable federal record-retention requirements.

Management agrees with the finding and has taken corrective action to ensure the timely completion and submission of the audit reporting package. With the implementation of Sage Intacct and the strengthening of internal accounting processes, Porchlight is now able to begin audit preparation earlier in the year. Regular monthly reconciliations and improved staff training have significantly reduced the number of adjustments required at year‐end. Financial statements will be prepared internally prior to the audit process, allowing management to review financial information earlier and provide complete information to the auditors in a timely manner. While certain reporting configurations within Sage Intacct continue to be refined, Porchlight is working with outside consultants experienced with the system to ensure reporting functionality operates effectively. Porchlight is also developing a formal year‐end close checklist and reporting calendar to ensure that all financial reporting tasks are completed on schedule and that audit preparation begins sufficiently in advance of reporting deadlines. The Finance Director, with oversight from the Executive Director, is responsible for monitoring audit timelines and, along with our auditors, ensure all deadlines for submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse are met. Staffing improvements and the engagement of external consultants have strengthened the organization’s capacity to complete the audit process in a timely manner. Management will continue to monitor internal timelines and reporting procedures to ensure future audit submissions are completed within required deadlines.

Management agrees with the finding and has implemented several corrective actions to strengthen internal controls and financial reporting processes. Porchlight implemented new accounting software in 2025, Sage Intacct, which includes a grants dimension that allows the organization to track financial activity by individual grant and sub‐grant at the transaction level. This system enables the preparation of detailed grant‐level financial reports, including profit and loss statements for individual grants. Internal accounting working papers further document detailed line‐item tracking instructions of grant revenues and expenditures. These processes provide improved transparency and audit support for grant expenditures. Indirect costs are now allocated using a nights‐of‐shelter allocation methodology, which is consistent with guidance provided by Porchlight’s government partner organizations. This methodology has been documented and is applied consistently across applicable programs. Monthly reconciliations of significant general ledger accounts are now performed and documented on a regular basis. These reconciliations are reviewed by the Executive Director, who is currently completing additional training in our new accounting processes to further support this oversight function. Management will continue monitoring the reconciliation process to ensure it is completed in a timely and consistent manner. Journal entries will be reviewed on a monthly basis during scheduled meetings between the Executive Director and the Finance Director to ensure proper documentation and approval. Cash disbursement controls have also been strengthened. Accounts Payable staff prepare a weekly payment list, which is reviewed and approved by the Finance Director. The Executive Director then performs a secondary review and signs checks or approves payments. ACH transactions are submitted to the bank by the AP accountant, and require final authorization through the bank’s online system by either the Executive Director, or the Finance Director when the Executive Director is unavailable. These procedures provide documented authorization of cash disbursements. Consistent financial reporting to the Board is in the final processes. The reporting component of the Sage Intacct implementation has required additional refinement, and we are working with outside consultants who are familiar with our specific system setup to ensure reporting processes operate effectively. Financial reports will be presented to the Board of Directors Finance Committee, which meets with the Executive Director and Finance Director every two months to review financial performance and discuss financial results. Financial statements will be prepared internally prior to the audit, which improves management oversight and reduces the need for audit adjustments. Additionally, Porchlight has significantly strengthened its finance department staffing. A new Finance Director began full‐time employment in June 2024. New Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable accountants, as well as accounting assistants, have been hired and trained on Porchlight’s financial procedures and Sage Intacct. External accounting consultants have also been engaged to assist with audit preparation, reconciliations, and other accounting functions when additional capacity is needed. Management will continue to evaluate internal controls and financial reporting processes to ensure compliance with applicable financial reporting and grant requirements.

To address this finding and prevent future delays, CPA has implemented the following corrective actions: 1. Centralized Grant Reporting & Billing Tracker CPA has developed and implemented a centralized Master Grant Reporting and Billing Tracker to monitor all grant-related submissions. The tracker captures, at a minimum: o Required financial, programmatic, and performance reports o Grantor and pass-through entity reporting requirements o Reporting frequency (monthly, quarterly, and annual) o Internal preparation and review deadlines o Final grantor submission due dates 2. Defined Roles and Accountability The Finance Department is responsible for maintaining the tracker and monitoring compliance with all reporting deadlines. Program Leadership is responsible for providing timely programmatic and supporting documentation to Finance in accordance with established internal deadlines. 3. Ongoing Monitoring and Oversight The Master Grant Reporting and Billing Tracker is reviewed on a regular basis by Finance and shared with Program Leadership and Executive Management to ensure visibility, accountability, and timely escalation of potential delays. 4. Preventive Controls Internal deadlines have been established in advance of external due dates to allow adequate time for review, reconciliation, and approval prior to submission. These corrective actions strengthen CPA’s internal controls over grant reporting and billing, will improve coordination between Finance and Program teams, and are expected to ensure timely submission of all required reports and billings going forward.

To ensure the financial information to complete the Government Wide and Governmental Funds financial statements and Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are available at a timely basis and free of errors, the Municipality has implemented a plan to improve the accounting reconciliation function and correct the financial system accounting balances that had not been in agreement with the financial statements for many previous years, therefore, was required extensive analyses of the information provided by the accounting system that results in significant manual adjusting entries to present accurate financial information in accordance with GAAP. The plan also includes training of current employees, recruiting capable finance personnel, and timely oversight from the Finance Director over the year end reconciliation process and correction of errors. This will improve the flow and accuracy of the financial information and accounting balances being produced by the finance department that in turn will result in time savings and a more effective process of preparation of financial statements that will lead to having them available with enough time to be audited by the corresponding audit firm and be submitted to the federal government in compliance with the March 31 deadline. As mentioned before, part of this lag in accounting and reporting of the financial statements have been caused by the limitation on the personnel to perform accounting and financial reporting tasks on a timely basis due to a series of uncontrollable weather and COVID health factors that required the use of the personnel to address the emergency for the benefit of the community. In September 2022 we suffer a hurricane strike (Hurricane Fiona) that partially affected the working conditions of the municipal employees and their duties assigned. All the municipal employees were assigned also to attend the Fiona effects in the community, delivery of goods, coordination and attending the immediate needs, therefore the municipal efforts were directed to assist in hurricane recovery and address the community needs rather than at focus on administrative duties. Also, we still are working with the work integration of finance and administrative after the COVID Pandemic, we still have some employees that prefer to work on a remote status and part time basis. Part of these conditions had caused some of the delays in recording and submissions, however these are not intentionally situations. Such situations are in process of analysis and improvement taking into consideration the size of the municipality and its actual financial and budgetary resources.
