Finding Reference Number: 2023-003 Description of Finding: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was not reconciled and complete prior to the beginning of the audit. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The identified issue pertaining to the incomplete SEFA is accurate and clearly defined. Corrective Action: • The Authority has since contracted with a consultant to assist staff with project and budget management of the same project the grant was funding. • Reporting requirements will be completed by the consultant or finance department going forward rather than the engineering manager. • Monthly meetings are held with staff from both accounting, engineering, and the grantor to discuss grant expenditures, invoice submittals and reimbursements, and project updates. • Director of Finance has looked into grant management certification courses in order to further educate staff on grant tracking and reporting requirements.
Finding Reference Number: 2023-002 Description of Finding: The Authority did not complete and submit the February 28, 2023 audited financial statements and single audit by the required deadline of November 30, 2023 or 9 months from fiscal year end.

Finding Reference Number: 2023-002 Description of Finding: The Authority did not complete and submit the February 28, 2023 audited financial statements and single audit by the required deadline of November 30, 2023 or 9 months from fiscal year end. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Authority staff agrees the audited financial statement and single audit were significantly delayed. Corrective Action: • Development of audit timeline and “needs” list to be compiled from all staff prior to audit submittal. • Engage with auditors earlier in order to meet required reporting deadlines. • Implementation of month-end closing process rather than waiting for year-end to complete all reconciliations. • Begin contacting vendors for estimates on any potential accruals prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: According to Appendix: American Rescue Plan CSLFRF HVAC Replacement and Improvement Grant Assurances of the 2021 CSLFRF HVAC Application it is stated the LEA/grantee assures: IX. It will submit such reports to the state educational agency as the state educational agency and Secretary may require to enable the state educational agency and the Secretary to perform their duties under the program; The LEA has also submitted an official correspondence to the Auditors from the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Education’s Director of the Office of Federal Pandemic Relief Programs stating the following: On April 25, 2023, the Virginia Department of Education conducted monitoring to ensure that certain federally funded programs and activities supported with Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) formula grants; ESSER and Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) state setaside grants; and Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (CSLFRF) HVAC grants were implemented as stipulated by law. These federally funded programs were reviewed as operated by Richmond City Public Schools. Furthermore, RPS is a subrecipient. As such it is our stance that RPS was not required to create or submit quarterly financial activity reports to US Treasury. We were also not required to submit quarterly financial reports to the recipient (i.e. the Commonwealth of Virginia). Instead, RPS regularly submitted expenditures for reimbursement to VDOE on a nearly monthly basis via OMEGA. We also maintained financial records (invoices, GL transactions) via AS400 and LINQ and conducted annual single audits as required by the Single Audit Act & 2 CFR part 200, subpart F. We also complied with all monitoring activities conducted by VDOE. In turn, VDOE (the award recipient) used these artifacts to create and submit its quarterly financial reports to US Treasury, as required by statute. For more evidence of this "passthrough" structure of reporting, see the attached SLFRF Compliance and Reporting Guidance published by US Treasury and Updated October 2025 Part 2 Section B (p. 21-22) for a detail of which entities are required to submit quarterly reports. The following recipients are required to submit quarterly Project and Expenditure Reports: - States and U.S. territories - Tribal governments that are allocated more than $30 million in SLFRF funding - Metropolitan cities and counties with a population that exceeds 250,000 residents Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds C - Metropolitan cities and counties with a population below 250,000 residents that are allocated more than $10 million in SLFRF funding - NEUs [Non-Entitlement Units of Government] that are allocated more than $10 million in SLFRF funding RPS does not fall into any of the aforementioned categories. We humble ask that you reconsider this finding.

Views of Responsible Officials: Thank you for bringing these findings to our attention, as they clarify some issues we have faced in our internal controls. The following 3-step approach has been implemented to rectify these concerns. 1. Personnel Changes: In Q2 of 2024, the CEO began significant staffing changes within the accounting and finance department. First, the former internal CFO position was replaced by an external fractional CFO team following a thorough vetting process. The selected CFO team is led by a CPA and former auditor who understands internal control matters, processes, and procedures. As a part of a large national firm, the team has ample resources and has developed procedures for the monthly financial statement close to address the issues raised in this audit. Secondly, following the transition of the former Accounting Manager, we began recruiting for a Director of Finance position. This role will serve as the organization’s controller. We anticipate completing this recruitment effort and welcoming the new employee by Q3 2025. 2. Executive Oversight: Since Q2 2024, the COO and CEO have been more actively involved in the financial management of the organization. This has included effectively engaging department directors in the development and oversight of their respective budgets, reviewing financial reports monthly, and keeping the Board of Directors informed of fiscal matters on a regular basis. 3. Process Improvements: During the staffing changes mentioned above, it became clear that the organization lacked or had outdated protocols for many accounting functions. We are working to update/develop policies and procedures for the respective business processes. The updated financial manual will be available for staff to reference to ensure standard processes are followed in the future.

Finding Reference Number: 2023-004 Description of Finding: The allocation of payroll costs to programs are done manually instead of done based on entity-wide timesheets. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian) agrees with the finding. Corrective Action: CalAsian acknowledges the serious nature of this finding and the potential for damage to relationships with the grantors and Federal entities. The Controller and Director of Finance have implemented an ERP system which allows for better cost collection, reporting and reviews of the grant-related expenses for accuracy, reliability, and reconciliation.We also understand these findings are repetitive from the 2021 and 2022 audits; however, due to catch-up of the prior year audits, we were unable to address these issues prior to completion of the 2023 audit. This delay was caused by a change in auditors as our previous auditor did not have the capacity to retain us as clients due to staff shortages related to COVID. The implemented ERP system includes electronic timesheets for daily charging to specific grants, as well as more visibility into the proper separation of direct, indirect, and unallowable costs per the CFR. Timesheet training has been performed and timesheet completion is required for all employees each day. This began effective January 1, 2025 and provides support for hours worked/billed, as well as documentation of the certification and approvals that all staff time entered is accurate and in compliance with contract requirements and provides proper support for all grant labor costs and indirect costs. Monthly reviews by the Project Directors/Managers plus Accounting will be performed to identify any potential cost charging issues and corrective action(s) required.

2023-007 – Completion and Submission of the Annual Single Audit Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Federal Program Name: Various Assistance Listing Numbers: 17.258, 17.259, 17.277, 17.278, 17.283, 20.205, 21.023, 21.027, 93.558, 93.959, 93.778, 97.036 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: Various Pass-Through Agency: Various Pass-Through Number(s): Various Award Period: 1/1/2023 – 12/31/23 Type of Finding: Other Matters and Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Condition: The County’s single audit and reporting package was delayed for the year ended December 31, 2023, beyond the due date. Recommendation: The County should evaluate its procedures around timely submission of the single audit. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned and taken in response to finding: The reason for the recurrence of the finding is in part a result of the timing of when the finding was issued. The 2023 ACFR was issued on February 14, 2025. The Single Audit began after that in late February 2025. At that point the 2023 Single Audit was already past the submission deadline. The County prioritized completion of the 2023 Single Audit and has allocated staff time from the Controller’s department and hired outside temporary professional staffing to complete the audit. Throughout the process, the Grant Accountant and Controller staff have facilitated communication and information between grant-funded departments and CLA resulting in a quick turnaround and completion of the Single Audit. Continued use of Infor’s grant management system and Project codes are increasing efficiency in accurately completing the SEFA and providing documentation as requested for programs being audited. The County began implementing a grant accounting system as part of our implementation of Infor in mid-2021 and are continuing to work with departments to refine their use of the systems. The County is working to compile information required for the 2024 ACFR, and the 2024 SEFA preparation is underway. To expedite this process, the County has engaged additional contract professional staff and is also in the process of hiring an additional full-time employee in the Grant Accounting area. Depending on external auditor availability and other Financial Audits being conducted, the 2024 SEFA will be complete and ready for review by August 2025, with a goal of timely completion of the 2024 Single Audit by the due date of September 30, 2025. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Thomas Landauer and Fonta Reilly Planned completion date for corrective action plan: September 2025
