Finding 2026-002 CAPBM acknowledges the finding regarding inaccuracies identified in several tenant annual recertifications that required corrected HUD-50059-A forms to accurately reflect the Total Tenant Payment (TTP) and HUD subsidy amounts. The errors were the result of calculation and data entry mistakes during the annual recertification process with past management. Current management is currently reviewing the affected tenant files and will complete any necessary corrections to ensure tenant rent and subsidy calculations are accurate and compliant with HUD requirements. To prevent similar errors in the future, CAPBM has implemented an additional review procedure for all annual recertifications. Once the Compliance Manager completes the annual recertification and prepares the HUD-50059, the Director of Affordable Housing will conduct a secondary review of the certification, including income calculations, asset determinations, applicable deductions, Total Tenant Payment (TTP), and subsidy calculations, prior to final approval and submission. Additionally, staff will continue to receive training on HUD occupancy requirements and annual recertification procedures to ensure compliance with HUD regulations. Management believes these corrective actions will strengthen internal controls and reduce the likelihood of future calculation errors. CAPBM is committed to maintaining accurate tenant certifications and ensuring ongoing compliance with HUD requirements.

To address the noted deficiencies in tenant file documentation, staff and supervisors will continue to follow established processes. Supervisors continue to track and monitor productivity and progress. The current supervisor has implemented clear and concise instructions and rules for completing and managing files. All forms are now saved in tenant files, and not on individual laptops as they were in the past. The supervisor has also implemented schedules and tracking systems for monthly voucher submissions, annual recertifications, quarterly income checks and other processes in the occupancy workflow. In addition, the supervisor and the lead staff for housing compliance perform regular checks on tenant application paperwork and random checks on tenant files to ensure accuracy and completeness and correct any mistakes. Ongoing staff training, support and mentoring continues.

FINDING NUMBER 2025-005 AUDITOR’S DESCRIPTION WIC/SENIORS FARMERS’ NUTRITION PROGRAMS: REPORTING CONDITION The Data Collection Form and related reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, were not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the timeframe required by 2 CFR Part 200.512. This matter represents a repeat finding from the prior year. AUDITOR’S RECOMENDATION We recommend that AEDA establish a formal Single Audit reporting calendar and designate responsible personnel to coordinate the audit process before year-end. Management should establish deadlines for closing the accounting records, completing subsidiary ledgers and reconciliations, preparing the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and supporting schedules, responding to auditor requests, and reviewing and submitting the Data Collection Form and reporting package within the federal deadline. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN AEDA has implemented a new accounting system and is reorganizing its personnel structure to ensure that all accounting information is complete, accurate, and available on a timely basis, enabling the organization to successfully complete future Single Audits within established deadlines. LEADS PERSONS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ACTIONS ITEM COMPLETION Elmer Perez, Administrator of AEDA, and Yimaries Méndez, Finance Director of AEDA. DELIVERABLE June 30, 2025 EVIDENCE INCLUDED YES/NO NO TARGET COMPLETION DATE Finding 2025-005 should be corrected for the Single Audit pertaining to the State fiscal year ending on 6/30/2027.

Finding 2025-002 AL number: 10.561 AL title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Federal award or contract: FFY 2026 SNAP Employment and Training Contract No. 26 IHGA 206885 Questioned costs: $412,100 The Department-approved Employment First Program Operator Plan incorporated into Contract No. 26 IHGA 201182 included a Launch licensing materials cost of $2,600 per participant. The plan described the participantbased fee and related services, and the executed contract incorporated the methodology. Related budget documents also contemplated billing at established component rates rather than reimbursement based solely on actual costs incurred. The Organization billed $412,100 under the participant-based licensing methodology. Based on the approved plan, supporting budget schedules, and executed contract, management believed the methodology was approved by the Department, was reasonable and necessary, and complied with program requirements.After the program began, the Organization engaged with a reputable independent firm to perform a transferpricing and fair value study to evaluate and support the methodology and contribute the technology to a separate legal entity. The Colorado Department of Human Services later questioned whether the retained documentation adequately supported the participant-based fee and the allocation of charges to the federal program. The Department had approved invoices and reimbursed these costs before raising concerns during its fiscal management evaluation. Management recorded a liability for the amounts identified by the State pending final resolution. Corrective Action Plan Management has established a separate legal entity to hold the technology associated with these charges. On May 4, 2026, before the fiscal management evaluation, management engaged an accounting firm to benchmark the fee and independently evaluate the participant-based pricing methodology. Management is also working to value the developed technology for contribution to the separate legal entity. Although documentation was retained, management has developed a plan to enhance the documentation supporting the methodology under federal cost principles. The enhanced records will describe the basis for the participant fee, the supporting assumptions and analyses, and the benefit received by the federal program. Anticipated completion date: October 30, 2026

2025-001 – Special Tests and Provisions Auditee’s Response and Planned Corrective Action The Ayer Elderly Housing Partnership, Inc. known as Pleasant Street School is a 21-unit senior housing development with a fiscal year ending June 30. In recent years, the Organization has received audit findings related to not fully funding the required replacement reserve by fiscal year-end. Due to the small size of the development, cash flow can be significantly impacted when large expenditures arise. The primary reason the reserve is not always fully funded by June 30 is that the Organization pays its annual insurance premium in full two to three months before year-end. This premium expense often exceeds three months of reserve contributions, creating a temporary shortfall in reserve funding. The Organization has consistently funded the reserve to the required level as soon as it is practical following year-end. For fiscal year-end June 30, 2025, the reserve was fully funded by August 2025. Management will continue to pursue rent increases through HUD and identify other opportunities to improve cash flow and ensure timely reserve funding for this small development.

Recommendation: We recommend that the City review and update internal controls to ensure that supporting documentation for allowable time charges to grant programs is properly maintained. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management continues to reinforce the policy that requires employees funded by federal grants to document the actual time and effort spent working on those grant activities. Staff continues with the updated timekeeping method for individuals charging partial time to the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program to track actual hours dedicated to the program rather than through budget allocation, and a quarterly certification form is prepared for employees that charge 100% to the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program. Supervisor approvals are documented through the financial system’s electronic workflow. Reports are generated to demonstrate completion. New staff receive training on the payroll approval process to ensure consistent implementation and compliance with procedures.

Finding 2025-005 — Timely Submission of Single Audit Reporting Package Description of Finding: The preliminary audit reports that the Single Audit reporting package for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 was submitted after the September 30, 2025 deadline. The audit attributes the delay to issuance of the 2023 audit and completion of the 2024 trial balance, and states that the completed 2024 trial balance was not available until after the filing deadline. The finding is designated a repeat of 2024-006. Statement of Concurrence and Cause: Management acknowledges that the FY2024 Single Audit reporting package was submitted after the applicable deadline and accepts the recommendation to strengthen audit coordination and submission tracking. Management reports that a change in independent auditors contributed to the delay: the predecessor auditor did not provide documentation requested by the successor auditor in a timely manner, delaying commencement of the FY2024 audit. This delay subsequently affected the scheduling and progress of the FY2025 audit. WCAI recognizes its responsibility for monitoring audit completion and federal submission deadlines notwithstanding delays involving external auditors. Corrective Action: WCAI has strengthened coordination with the independent auditors. For each audit cycle, management will maintain a written timetable with target dates for year-end reconciliations, delivery of requested schedules, predecessor-to-successor auditor document transfers when applicable, fieldwork, draft review, governance review, and Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission. The CEO and CFO will track outstanding requests and follow up in writing on delayed documents; unresolved delays will be escalated promptly to the audit firm leadership and, when appropriate, the Board. Management will document revised milestones and contingency steps when auditor transitions or third-party delays threaten the filing deadline. Proof of submission and FAC acceptance will be retained. Responsible Party: Chief Executive Officer, working with the Chief Financial Officer and independent auditor. Implementation Status / Timeline: Enhanced audit coordination began during the FY2025 audit cycle. Written scheduling, outstanding-request tracking, escalation, and deadline monitoring are ongoing for the FY2025 and subsequent audit cycles. Effectiveness will be evaluated based on documented completion and timely filings. Monitoring and Evidence: Audit engagement and transition correspondence; predecessor-auditor document requests and follow-up dates; written audit timetable; outstanding-items log; dated deliverables; status meeting notes; escalation correspondence; revised milestones; completed Data Collection Form; and Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission and acceptance confirmation. Management Oversight and Verification Oversight: The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will review implementation and monitoring documentation, communicate significant exceptions to the appropriate governance bodies, and ensure follow-up is documented. The FY2026 audit will provide independent evaluation of whether the corrected procedures operated effectively during the period tested. Supporting records: FY2025 preliminary audit findings; FY2024 Corrective Action Plan; 2026 account reconciliations, grant accounting and cost-allocation schedules, reporting logs, auditor correspondence, and audit submission records, as applicable.

Finding 2025-004 — Timely Submission of Financial Status Reports Description of Finding: The auditor reported late monthly Financial Status Reports for LIHEAP and Weatherization funding sources. Management’s review identified 60 required reports, of which 56 were timely and four were late; one report due April 15 was submitted April 16 because the responsible staff member missed the deadline. Statement of Concurrence: Management concurs that all required reports must be submitted by established deadlines, including when a delay is only one day. Corrective Action: WCAI has corrected its reporting process during 2026. A centralized reporting calendar and tracking log identify required reports, reporting periods, due dates, assigned staff, internal review dates, and actual submission dates. Responsible staff must prepare and submit reports on time; supervisory review and follow-up are required for approaching or missed deadlines. Submission confirmations are retained. Responsible Party: Grants Manager and assigned reporting staff, with supervisory review by the Chief Financial Officer. Implementation Status / Timeline: Reporting-calendar and monitoring procedures were initiated during the FY2024 audit process and formalized in April 2026, with full operation targeted for May 2026; management reports the process has been corrected. Ongoing monthly monitoring. Monitoring and Evidence: Reporting calendar; monthly checklist; supervisor sign-off; dated submission confirmations; exception log and corrective follow-up for any late reports. FY2026 performance will establish sustained compliance.

Warwick Public Schools has implemented several procedures to strengthen grant management, improve the accuracy and timeliness of required reporting, and ensure appropriate coordination between the Grants and Business Offices. 1. Grants Management Calendar: A shared Grants Management Calendar has been created and is actively used by the Grants and Business Offices to monitor reporting deadlines and ensure required reports are completed and submitted on time. The calendar identifies the individual responsible for each reporting requirement and is managed by the Director of Federal Programs & Grants, Paul Heatherton. 2. Grant Tracker: A centralized Grant Tracker has been implemented to document key grant information, including the Grant Award Notification (GAN), approved budget, grant-funded positions, and grant end dates. This tracker is shared with the Grants and Business Offices and, when applicable, Human Resources. It supports coordination across departments, particularly for positions funded through grants with defined end dates, such as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. This process helps the district identify upcoming grant expirations and plan for the continuation or transition of funding for grant-funded positions. 3. Annual Grant Position and Funding Notifications: The Grants Office has established an annual process for providing Human Resources with a transaction notice identifying grant-funded positions and their associated grant fund numbers. This procedure strengthens communication regarding grant-funded staffing and helps ensure that positions are accurately associated with the appropriate funding sources. 4. Federal Grants Management Procedural Guide: Warwick Public Schools intends to develop a Warwick Public Schools Federal Grants Management – Procedural Guide by April 2027. This working guide will include both programmatic and financial procedures to promote consistent grant administration and ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and grant-specific requirements. The guide will establish clear expectations for grant oversight, reporting deadlines, financial documentation, expenditure monitoring, and coordination among the Grants Office, Business Office, and other relevant departments. It will serve as a reference for staff responsible for administering and monitoring grant-funded programs and expenditures. The Grants Management Calendar, Grant Tracker, and annual grant position and funding notification procedures were implemented as of September 30, 2026. Completion of the Federal Grants Management Procedural Guide by April 2027 will serve as an additional step toward strengthening internal controls, standardizing grant administration, and supporting ongoing compliance.
