2023-003 ALLOWABLE ACTIVITIES AND ALLOWABLE COSTS - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks. Condition/Cause For 23 out of 60 cases tested, the amount paid for rent or utilities did not agree to a lease agreement or bills on file for the following reasons: (I) clerical errors, (2) duplicate payments due to multiple staff working on the same file, or (3) failure to request or maintain support before payment was made. Known questioned costs associated with the 23 exceptions noted in our testing were $9,867. Based on the projection of the sampling results to the remaining population, we project additional likely questioned costs of approximately $173,400. The Authority did not have controls in place to detect the noncompliance prior to issuing payments. We recommend the Authority revisit and strengthen internal controls over tracking individual payments for transactions entered as batches, particularly when related to federal awards. We encourage the Authority to continue working to identify the individual transactions making up the remainder of the federal expenditures under this program. We also recommend the Authority revisit and strengthen internal controls over allowable activities and allowable costs related to grant programs. Management Response The Authority launched the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) with little administrative guidance from the U.S. Treasury. The Authority contracted with the Berks Coalition to End Homelessness (BCEH) to undertake various aspects of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program and in the late fall of 2021, the Authority began reviewing all case documentation provided by BCEH. This review eliminated the vast majority of the errors noted. The Authority also updated case documentation checklists as well as provided training for staff involved with ERAP. Current Status of Corrective Action Plan The Authority has resolved this finding. An additional review was added at the close of each case.

2023-001 REPORTING - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The auditee did not have any documented or implemented internal controls over the review of federal program reporting requirements. Reports were prepared and submitted without documentation of supervisory review or verification of accuracy and completeness. Management did not design or implement procedures to review reports prior to submission, relying solely on the preparer's knowledge without formal oversight. Recommendation We recommend that all grant reports are reviewed by a person independent of the preparer who has knowledge of the grant requirements. This review should include comparing the amounts reported to detailed support for accuracy. We also recommend the Authority review its recordkeeping procedures for documentation related to grant reporting. There should be a process in place to ensure all required documentation is maintained and filed in an orderly system that allows the Authority to locate and provide documentation when required. Management Response In general, management agrees with the finding. It should be noted that internal controls for supervisory review of reporting requirements were in place but were not written controls or processes. Reporting for the CDBG Program is accomplished through the preparation of the annual Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Repo11 CAPER). Written policies and procedures for the CAPER have been developed. Reporting for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program is accomplished through an online reporting system of the U.S. Treasury and by email to the Pennsylvania Human Services Department. Written policies and procedures have been developed.

Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Family Wellness Outreach Center of Georgia agrees that the 2023 audit was not able to be completed within the 9 months after the end of the audit period due to our 2022 audit being significantly delayed. However, our agency acted responsibly, professionally, reasonably and in a timely manner to secure our 2022 audit within the required timeline. Despite our diligence, the previous auditing company and their representatives were grossly non-responsive and ultimately, we had to dispute our payment that was made in full for not receiving the 2022 audit services in a timely manner. This impacted our 2023 audit not being completed as indicated in the finding. Corrective Action: The Organization chose a new audit company that is responsive, professional and highly experienced in non-profit audits. The Organization continues to have a process in place to ensure that required audits are completed in accordance with established guidelines. In advance, we seek at least three bids from reputable audit companies; our finance team provides documentation in a timely manner; we utilize a designated person to ensure the audit process is not delayed including conducting routine follow-ups or check-ins and ensuring any issues are resolved quickly; and we pay our bills on time.

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.
