VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS ADSEF acknowledges the findings regarding the lack of documentation for one employee and the payroll discrepancies identified in the FY 2024 single audit.

ADSEF will conduct a comprehensive reconciliation of all payroll registers against personnel records for the affected periods to ensure that only eligible, verified, and properly documented costs are charged to the TANF program. Action step: 1. Personnel Record Audit 2. Policy Update 3. Payroll Reconciliation 4. Training IMPLEMENTATION DATE During Fiscal Year 2026-2027 RESPONSIBLE PERSON Eddie J.

Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Recommendation: We recommend the Organization develop and implement formal policies and procedures to ensure required performance reports are prepared, reviewed, and submitted in a timely manner. Such procedures should include clearly defined roles and responsibilities, tracking of reporting deadlines, and documented evidence of supervisory review and approval prior to submission.

Since then, management has implemented formalized procedures for grant reporting. All performance reports are now prepared by designated program staff, tracked against reporting deadlines, and subject to supervisory review and approval by the Executive Director prior to submission. These procedures establish clear roles and responsibilities and ensure timely, documented review and submission of required reports.

Finding #2024-005 – Lack of Written Grant Procedures over Federal Programs Criteria: Under Federal Uniform Guidance, all non-Federal subrecipient entities must establish and maintain written policies and procedures over Federal programs. Written grant procedures are required in the areas of verifying allowable costs, cash management, and conflicts of interest, while procurement, subrecipient monitoring, and reporting procedures should also be included. Condition: During their audit procedures, the auditors noted that the City did not have comprehensive written grant procedures governing key compliance areas. Cause: The City’s management has relied on informal practices and institutional knowledge rather than formulating a grant procedures manual. Effect: Without written procedures, there is an increased risk of noncompliance with Uniform Guidance, including improper cost charging, non-compliant procurement, untimely drawdowns or cash on hand, inadequate subrecipient oversight, and ineffective internal controls. This exposes the City to the risk of questioned costs, potential repayment of federal funds, audit findings, and other possible impacts. Recommendation: The auditors recommend that the City develop, approve, and implement a consolidated Federal grant procedures manual. The procedures should not be a replication of the Federal requirements but instead step-by-step processes that are necessary to be in compliance with the Federal guidelines. Response: The City will begin the process of drafting and approving a Federal grant procedures manual in order to be in compliance with Federal requirements going forward.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action While the Organization concurred with the prior year (2023-002) and current year renumbered recommendation (2024-002), the Organization notes the corrective actions that have been implemented, specifically, related to the subrecipient monitoring and management provision of 2 CFR§ 200.331 and 2 CFR §200.332 of the Uniform Guidance, that emphasizes accountability and compliance in managing federal funds and subrecipients, and that have been in practice, from the effective date(s) noted below, to the present period of the report dated June 17, 2026: A. Subrecipient Monitoring and Management. Implemented internal process changes, effective November 1, 2024, specifically, prospectively, and consistently the: 1. Use of a checklist, to comprehensively assess risk of determining subrecipient or contractor classification, before entering into any subrecipient agreement; 2. Provision of identification details such as CFDA number, amount of federal funds obligated, and the award period for determined subrecipient awards; 3. Submission of programmatic and financial reports as specified in the subrecipient agreement; 4. Review of a single audit in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F for subrecipients that expend $750,000 or more in federal funds during a fiscal year, if applicable; and 5. Review of their audit report(s) and addressing any finding(s) related to their federal award(s), including the related appropriate corrective actions, when applicable. B. Retroactive Subrecipient Portfolio Risk Assessment and Correction(s). The Organization performed a risk assessment of the existing subrecipient portfolio to identify risks, for the audit periods July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023, and July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024. The objective of this risk assessment was to identify, evaluate, and prioritize risks that could adversely impact the Organization’s ability to achieve its strategic, operational, compliance and quality assurance goals. The completion of the Organization’s portfolio risk assessment resulted in correction of identified non-compliant subrecipient agreement(s). C. Subrecipient Policies and Procedures. By December 31, 2024, the Organization updated and implemented financial policies and procedures aligned to the subrecipient monitoring and management provision of 2 CFR §200.331 and 2 CFR §200.332 of the Uniform Guidance, including checklists, flowcharts, samples, data sheets, data sharing agreements, etc.; and the current practices of the Organization to the present period of the report dated June 17, 2026, is consistent with such developed subrecipient policies and procedures.

FINDINGS - U.S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION, ALN# 11.307 SIGNFICANT DEFICIENCY Finding 2024-001 - Reporting: The U.S. Economic Development Administration ALN # 11 .307 require reports to the appropriate federal agency for revolving loan funds and grants. Response to Aydjt finding 2024-001: Background: The FY2024 Semi-Annual Revolving Loan Fund Financial Reports were not submitted within the required timeframe. Current accounting and RLF management were not responsible for report preparation during the reporting period and unable to verify the specific circumstances that resulted in the late submissions. The finding indicates that report controls and monitoring procedures in place at the time were not sufficient to ensure required deadlines were met primarily due to accounting and RLF staff turnover. Conclusion: Staffing turnover was mitigated in Fall 2025 allowing significant progress towards existing corrective action plan. Progress was as follows: • Developing updated and written procedures for RLF reporting. • Ensuring current key staff members and management have access to reporting instructions and supporting documentation. • Ensuring periodic management review of reporting deadlines and requirements.
