Views of Responsible Officials: In instances where Federal financial and programmatic reports were submitted after the due dates, delays were primarily driven by the time required to obtain and reconcile financial and programmatic data from subrecipients and to complete BRAC USA’s internal reviews and sampling procedures. While this resulted in late submissions, our priority was to ensure the completeness, accuracy, and integrity of reported information rather than compromising quality for timeliness. To strengthen compliance going forward, in any instance where BRAC USA anticipates a delay in submitting required Federal financial or programmatic reports, we will proactively communicate with donor or the pass-through entity in advance of the due date, explain the reasons for the delay (including any timing issues related to subrecipient data), and request written approval of a revised reporting deadline. This approach will help ensure transparency, maintain the donor’s ability to effectively monitor grant performance, and document mutual agreement on adjusted submission dates, while still allowing BRAC USA to complete the necessary review and reconciliation procedures to ensure accurate and reliable reporting. Planned Completion Date: December 31, 2025

Views of Responsible Officials: In practice, BRAC USA has consistently evaluated subrecipient risk prior to issuing subawards by considering factors such as prior experience with similar awards, historical audit results, organizational capacity, and financial stability. However, we acknowledge that these assessments were not formalized or consistently documented in a standardized format, as required by 2 CFR § 200.332(c). To address this gap, BRAC USA will develop and implement written procedures and a standardized subrecipient risk assessment tool to be completed and filed prior to issuing Federal subawards. The tool will capture required criteria, including prior audit results, prior performance under similar awards, financial stability indicators, internal control considerations, and any recent staffing or systems changes. These procedures will be incorporated into BRAC USA’s Fiscal Policies and Procedures Manual. The results of each risk assessment will be used to tailor the level and nature of ongoing subrecipient monitoring, and records will be maintained in the grant file to evidence compliance with 2 CFR § 200.332(c). Planned Completion Date: April 30, 2026

Condition For one of the four reports tested for the Higher Education Institutional Aid Program, City Colleges did not timely submit a quarterly report to the Pass-Through Entity (PTE). A quarterly performance report was due on May 1, 2025 and submitted 14 days late on May 15, 2025. Cause Submission delay was the result of miscommunication between PIs and the grantor. Corrective Action Taken or Planned The Institutional Resource Development (IRD) team will review all subaward grant contracts and work with the colleges to ensure that Tasks are entered into the Salesforce system to provide automatic two-week reminders to the PIs when performance reports are due to the pass-through entity (PTE).

Condition For one out of forty students tested, City Colleges properly recalculated a return of Title IV funds for a student but did not subsequently adjust the student's account to perform the return or notify the student of the adjusted award amount. Cause The lack of return of Title IV funds was an oversight due to human error. Corrective Action Taken or Planned To strengthen internal controls, the District Office assigned an analyst to conduct a review of a random selection of files across all seven colleges scheduled for audit to help identify any discrepancies early and ensure compliance. All R2T4 specialists will receive yearly refresher trainings on R2T4 procedures and controls.

Responsible party: Bethany Johnson, Interim Executive Director and Commercial Lending Manager and Tyler Ward, Interim Finance Director and Commercial Lender Implementation date: December 31, 2025 Corrective Action Plan Both Bethany Johnson, Interim Executive Director and Commercial Lending Manager, and Tyler Ward, Interim Finance Director and Commercial Lender, will continue to monitor the budget vs actuals both on a monthly and quarterly basis. Tyler Ward will provide an initial review and Bethany Johnson will provide a secondary review of the financial statements. If any variances are more than 5% over within a category, this category and the overall variances of each line item will be monitored closely to determine if any cumulative changes would cause a 10% or more increase or decrease overall in addition to a particular category. If a budget revision is determined to be required, Tyler Ward will prepare this document and Bethany Johnson will review and sign before submitting it to SBA. A reminder will be added to both Bethany Johnson and Tyler Ward’s SCKEDD calendars along with the existing reporting reminders. This will serve as a secondary reminder to monitor the budget at 90, 60 and 30 days before the end of the grant year. This will ensure that any changes in the 4th quarter can be addressed before the budget revision cutoff date to SBA. Calendar reminders will be added on 12/15/2025, and financials statement variances towards the Microloan grant will be reviewed with more scrutiny moving forward beginning with December 31, 2025 financial statements.

Finding 2025-001. The management company is required to use the Enterprise Income Verification for eligibility determination per the compliance supplement. There are numerous reports required to be created and reviewed by management on a periodic basis. (1) Recommendation: The management company should acquire access to the HUD EIV, and begin producing and reviewing the required reports within required timeframes. The organization should further establish procedures that will ensure ongoing compliance. These procedures should include training and monitoring of responsible staff. (2) Actions Taken: Management has worked with HUD to obtain access and will begin performing this responsibility. The appropriate reports will be produced and reviewed once management has access to the HUD EIV system. Procedures are being implemented to assure that this process is taking place.

Finding 2025.002 - Sliding Fee Scale Discount Recommendation The Organization should strengthen internal controls in place to effectively ensure that patients receive the correct sliding fee discount. Action Taken • Monthly Audits o The Front Office Coordinators at each location will routinely audit sliding fee verification on a monthly basis to verify that information has been captured and recorded correctly and all proof of income documentation is received.

Description: Significant deficiency in internal control over compliance related to reporting. Cause: Though the Organization has established internal controls for submitting covered subawards as required by the Transparency Act, the Organization made an incorrect determination that the covered subaward was under the required reporting limit. Effect: The Organization did not comply with the subaward reporting requirements as specified in 2 CFR 170. Corrective Action: • The Organization’s management and Board of Directors understand the requirement and importance of complying with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act. Our Accounting & Finance Policy and Subrecipient Monitoring Policy have both been updated to clearly assign the responsibility for timely reporting of subawards. The covered subaward that was not reported in FY25 was reported promptly as soon as this issue was raised as part of the audit.

The following actions will be taken to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance requirements over internal controls: Management concurs with the finding. Effective immediately, The Greater Washington Community Foundation has implemented the following corrective actions: (1) Prior to entering into any subaward agreement involving federal funds as well as at the time of each payment, designated staff will verify that potential subrecipients are not suspended or debarred by conducting searches in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov, with documentation maintained in the grant file. This verification will also be performed when subaward agreements are amended or extended. (2) The standard subaward agreement template will be updated to include all required information specified in 2 CFR §200.332(b)(1), including the federal assistance listing number, subrecipient's unique entity identifier, federal award project description, amount of federal funds obligated, total federal award amount, applicable compliance requirements, and reporting and monitoring requirements. To strengthen ongoing compliance, the Foundation's procurement and cash management policies have been updated to incorporate these federal compliance requirements and will be reviewed annually. Given that federal funding is not received on a recurring basis, upon receipt of future federal funding, the Controller will serve as the Compliance Coordinator with full oversight of compliance activities. The Controller will review applicable federal regulations, update internal procedures as necessary, and provide comprehensive training to appropriate staff managing the contract to ensure adherence to all grant requirements. The finance team will complete a quarterly review process to verify that all active federal subawards contain required compliance elements, with the Controller maintaining oversight of this review and reporting any deficiencies to the Chief Financial Officer for immediate remediation.

Audit Finding: ALN: 10.565 Grant No.: 204642 Grant Period: Year ended September 30, 2025 Type of finding – Significant deficiency in internal control over compliance Response: Agree Explanation/Corrective Action:  Scanning Applications: o CSFP staff scan applications daily. These applications are then stored in SharePoint. We have 2-3 volunteers weekly who rename applications based on Client ID, Name, and Expiration Date, then file them electronically based on their expiration date. This ensures that we are always up to date on having an electronic version of our CSFP applications. o Before shredding any applications that have been scanned, we confirm that the application exists in the system (done by CSFP staff).  If an application is missing: o Confirm that application information is in ClientTrack and document through a generated printed application. o Send application to distribution site for next distribution, to ensure participant signs new application before they receive another CSFP box. Anticipated Completion Date: This process was fully implemented at the end of May 2024. It should be noted that the applications have a 3-year certification period, so the full effect of the new process won’t be realized until spring of 2027.
