U.S. Department of Health and Human Services U.S. Department of Treasury • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Low-Income Home Energy Assistance - Assistance Listing No. 93.568 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Condition: During our testing of performance and special reporting, we noted that the Organization did not maintain documentation evidencing review or approval of submitted reports. The reports tested did not include evidence demonstrating that an authorized individual reviewed and approved the performance and special reports prior to submission. Recommendation: The Organization should implement formal internal controls over performance and special reporting by establishing documented procedures that require review and approval of all reports prior to submission. Management should define clear roles and responsibilities for report preparation and independent review, ensure that reviews are performed by an authorized individual, and maintain documentation evidencing review and approval, such as signatures, dates, or electronic approvals, to support compliance with performance reporting requirements. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Organization will implement formal internal controls over performance and special reporting by developing and documenting standardized procedures for the preparation, review, and approval of all required federal performance and special reports. These procedures will clearly define roles and responsibilities for report preparation and independent review, including identification of authorized individuals responsible for final approval. Evidence of review and approval—including signatures, dates, or electronic approval records—will be retained in the grant file to support compliance with reporting requirements. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Dawn Godshall, Executive Director Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Planned completion date is June 30, 2026.

Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance The Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative); Commodity Supplemental Food Program (Administrative)– Assistance Listing No. 10.568 and 10.565 Condition: The Organization does not have formal procedures in place to determine the Second Harvest Food Bank expenses incurred during the fiscal year that should be allocated to the TEFAP/CSFP administrative revenue received. The Organization has historically recognized revenue based on when cash is received which is not appropriate. Recommendation: We recommend the allocation of allowable costs and activities be completed at a minimum on a quarterly basis. Also, any direct expenses related to program activities should be recorded to the respectiveidentifying program fund number within the accounting software. The amount of revenue recognized for the programs should be reflected of the expenses incurred up to the administrative funds received from the respective funders. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The organization will implement a standard allocation to be completed on a quarterly basis at the minimum. This process will be reviewed by management to ensure implementation.

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. Person(s) Responsible: Halle Pollay Timing for Implementation: In process

Talmud Torah Darkei Avos-Monsey respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended August 31, 2024. Hirsch | Dinter & Co. CPAs: 21 Remsen Avenue, Suite #302, Monsey, New York 10952 Audit Period: September 01, 2023 - August 31, 2024 The finding from the August 31, 2024 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. Finding 2024-001: Federal Awards Program Audit U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition Cluster Programs Deficiency: See Finding 2024-001 Recommendation: The Organization should develop a compliance calendar that includes financial reporting deadlines and set automatic reminders in advance of each deadline to aid in properly planning and timing submission of reporting packages. Additionally, the Organization should engage the audit firm well before the fiscal year end, and the auditors should put this engagement on their calendar well in advance of the due date. The Organization should establish a timeline with the auditors that aligns with internal deadlines to ensure sufficient time to conduct the audit. The Organization’s Board of Directors should be more actively engaged in the auditing and reporting process to establish a greater degree of accountability and oversight. Anticipated Completion Date: 05/31/2026 Actions Taken: The Organization has begun implementing the above-mentioned recommendations. The Organization will ensure that it has a working compliance calendar to assist in meeting the reporting deadline.

Recommendation The College should continue to work with the accounting department and accounting systems to assist its auditor to catch up its financial reporting and records to allow for the completion of future audits. Corrective Action Unfortunately, due to the untimely completion and release of the June 30, 2023 audit report (released on August 8, 2025 - over two years after the end of the June 30, 2023 fiscal year audit), the College did not have the opportunity to review and begin a timely process of addressing a majority of the audit findings until well after the end of the audit period. While the College is committed to corrective action, the delayed delivery of the June 30, 2023 audit limited the ability to implement corrective measures earlier. The College is working proactively to ensure that these issues are resolved going forward. It is important to note that Southeast New Mexico College was a newly established independent community college, having formally separated from New Mexico State University (NMSU) as of April 2022. During this transition period, many administrative processes, including federal grant compliance procedures, were in the process of being developed, transitioned, and implemented independently from NMSU systems. As a result, certain policies, procedures, and documentation processes were not yet fully established or operational at the time of the audit. To ensure timely future submissions, the following corrective actions have been implemented. Revised Timeline and Calendar Controls: • A compliance calendar has been developed and integrated into the Business Office workflow to monitor federal reporting deadlines, including the DCF due date. This calendar includes reminder notifications at 90, 60 and 30 days before the March deadline. Internal Review Process: • A designated compliance officer or fiscal services staff member has been assigned responsibility for tracking the DCF submission process and coordinating with the external auditors to ensure timely receipt of the final audit. Audit Planning Coordination: • Annual audit planning meetings now include a discussion of reporting deadlines, and the contract with the external audit firm will include a clause requiring delivery of the final audit in a timeframe that supports compliance with federal submission timelines. Training and Awareness: • Relevant staff will have completed training in Uniform Guidance reporting requirements, including DCF submission procedures and deadlines to ensure full understanding of the importance of timely compliance. Due of Completion: August 31, 2025 Responsible Party(ies) Vice President for Business and Finance (or appropriate official), Dean of Business and Finance, Director of Finance, Accounts Receivable Coordinator, Business Office Manager

Management's Response: Olympic Community Action Programs (OlyCAP) acknowledges this finding and agrees that additional internal controls are required to ensure eligibility is verified, current, and fully documented prior to the provision of services. The instance identified resulted from a misinterpretation of system information and insufficient verification procedures to confirm current eligibility. In response, OlyCAP has initiated corrective actions to strengthen eligibility determination controls, including reinforcing documentation requirements prior to service initiation, clarifying staff procedures for reviewing eligibility system data, and providing additional training to ensure eligibility requirements are consistently understood and applied. Management is committed to maintaining compliance with federal program requirements and improving internal controls to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Management's Response: Olympic Community Action Programs (OlyCAP) acknowledges this finding and agrees that stronger internal controls over the single audit reporting process are necessary. During the audit period, the organization did not have sufficiently formalized procedures to ensure timely submission of the SF-SAC reporting package. Since identifying this issue, OlyCAP has begun implementing improved internal controls. During the first half of 2024, the department experienced the loss of all lead fiscal staff, which required subsequent corrections and adjustments to 2024 reporting once external consultants were engaged. This work occurred concurrently with the organization’s transition from antiquated systems to newer platforms. As part of the corrective actions, OlyCAP has established clearly defined responsibility for audit submissions, implemented internal deadlines that precede federal filing requirements, and strengthened management oversight to verify timely completion and submission. OlyCAP is committed to improving its internal control environment to ensure future single audit submissions are completed accurately and within required deadlines. Estimated Completion Date: Completed Responsible Party: Executive Director

Corrective Action Plan - Audit Finding 2024-002 Reportable finding considered a significant deficiency - Inadequate support for distribution of donated food 1. Documentation Procedures The Organization has updated its policies in 2025 to ensure all food distributions—including goods received, distributed, used for on site meal preparation, and leftover items transferred to partner nonprofits—are supported by appropriate documentation. A standardized set of templates will be used to record: • Distribution logs at each location • Congregate Aggregate Feeding Reports • Documentation of leftover or transferred goods All documentation will be retained in a centralized repository accessible to program and compliance staff. ________________________________________ 2. Distribution Tracking Controls The Organization has implemented strengthened controls to ensure accurate and complete tracking of all food commodities. These controls include: • Required completion of distribution logs at all partner locations • Mandatory retention of Congregate Aggregate Feeding Reports • Reconciliation of monthly distribution activity to the Monthly Distribution Report • Documentation of discarded or transferred goods A compliance checklist is being developed to verify that all required documents are collected each month. ________________________________________ 3. Designation of Responsibility A Chief Operating Officer has been assigned responsibility for ensuring that all distribution documentation is collected, retained, and reviewed. Program staff and site partners will receive ongoing training to ensure consistent adherence to the updated tracking requirements. ________________________________________ 4. Review and Approval A formal review and approval process has been established. Monthly Distribution Reports will be reviewed by: • The Chief Operating Officer • The Warehouse Manager Any discrepancies or missing documentation will be investigated and resolved prior to monthly reporting. ________________________________________ 5. Monitoring and Follow Up Beginning in 2025, the Organization implemented ongoing monitoring procedures, including periodic internal audits of distribution files. Quarterly compliance reviews will be performed to assess adherence to documentation requirements and to identify additional training needs. The Warehouse Manager will report quarterly to senior leadership on distribution documentation compliance. Management will continue refining the new processes and providing ongoing training to ensure full, consistent adoption across all distribution sites. The Organization anticipates that these corrective actions will fully address the documentation gaps identified in the audit and strengthen internal controls moving forward. ________________________________________ Implementation Timeline All corrective action steps were initiated in 2025, and full implementation of updated procedures is ongoing. The Organization anticipates complete adoption across all distribution sites by December 31, 2026. ________________________________________ Responsible Personnel • Chief Operating Officer-Food Bank Operations: Thomas Deramore • Warehouse Manager-Food Bank Operations: Sean Conner • Chief Financial Officer: Kate Stefan • Executive Director: Timothy Hawkins ________________________________________ This Corrective Action Plan is designed to address the auditor’s findings, recommendations and prevent recurrence of similar issues to ensure compliance with Uniform Guidance documentation standards and internal control requirements ________________________________________ Signature: ________________________________________ Kate Stefan, Chief Financial Officer Community Action Agency of Butte County, Inc.

Finding: 2024-003 Condition Found: Through testing a statistically valid sample of 25 individual patient balances, we noted one instance in which the sliding fee discount applied was inconsistent with the Organization’s policy. Based on income and family size, the patient received a discount of $115 but qualified for a discount of $215, resulting in a $100 difference. Individual(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Tafta McCain, Interim CEO, Fraction CFO – Community Link Consulting, Financial Team Planned Corrective Action: The Organization has revised its sliding fee discount policies and has established controls that streamline the path of sliding fee documentation from time of receipt to patient notification in a spreadsheet shared between front office, financial and billing staff. All pertinent documents are uploaded and hyperlinked to the spreadsheet for easy reference. The corrective action includes implementing quarterly supervisory reviews of sliding fee discounts, defining a sample size, and documenting corrective actions when errors are identified. Additional attention will be given to areas with greater manual processing, including Dental services. Staff training has been reinforced to ensure understanding of policy requirements, and management oversight will verify that monitoring procedures are performed consistently and documented appropriately. These actions will strengthen compliance with Section 330 requirements and reduce the risk of future inconsistencies. Anticipated Completion Date: Document tracking is in progress with quarterly review to begin in April 2026.
