Choice Neighborhood Incentive Grants – Assistance Listing No. 14.889 Recommendation: We recommend that HABC staff review the controls in place to ensure that required FFATA reporting documentation is complete, accurate, and available for audit. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Public Law 109-282, known as the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA), mandates the public disclosure of all entities and organizations receiving federal funds through a single accessible website. Any subcontract exceeding $30,000 must be reported by the prime recipient of federal funds. However, this reporting requirement does not apply to the Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC), similar to the Moving to Work (MTW) block grants and their sub-recipient reporting to the Baltimore Regional Housing Partnership (BRHP). Both awards, the Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) grant awards are not available in the dropdown menu for fulfilling this monthly reporting requirement. This issue was noted because HABC could not demonstrate to the auditors that we had made several unsuccessful attempts to meet this requirement. In response, HABC Finance has established a monthly workflow process to regularly check the website to document the attempts. In addition, we are currently awaiting a formal response from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding the unavailability of these grants for sub-contracting monitoring & reporting on the SAMs website. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Anu Francis, Chief Financial Officer. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: 12/31/2025

Finding No. 2024-001 –Significant Deficiency Personnel Responsible for Section 8 Director Corrective Action: Completion Date: January 31, 2025 Corrective Action Plan: We acknowledge that while reviews of moved-out individuals are occurring, there was insufficient documentation to support this process. We understand the importance of maintaining clear and accessible records to demonstrate our compliance and due diligence. To address this finding and implement the best practice recommendations, we will take the following steps: 1. Documentation Protocol: • Implement a standardized documentation process for move-out reviews. • Create a digital log that records the date of review, the reviewer's name, and the outcome of each review. • Ensure all documentation is easily accessible for future audits and internal reviews. 2. Monthly Landlord Verification: • Establish a monthly process to contact a sample of 3-5 landlords. • Provide these landlords with a current tenant listing for their properties. • Request verification of occupancy status for each listed tenant. • Document all responses and follow up on any discrepancies identified. 3. Move-Out Tracking: • Strengthen our move-out tracking procedures to ensure timely submission of Form HUD-50058. • Implement a system of alerts or reminders to prompt staff when 50058 submissions are due. • Conduct regular internal audits to verify the timeliness of 50058 submissions. 4. Training: • Provide comprehensive training to all relevant staff on the new documentation and verification processes. • Emphasize the importance of timely 50058 submissions and accurate move-out tracking.

The untimely completion of bank reconcilations during the audit period was due to changes in staffing and a transition to a new credit card provider, which created delays in the reconcilation process. To address this, the organization has implemented a calendar-based tracking system to ensure that all reconciliations are completed and documented promptly each month. In addition, reconcilation responsibilities have been reassigned and reinforced through updated financial procedures. Managment believes that these steps will ensure reconciliations are completed within the required timeframe moving forward and the risk of untimely reconciliations will be mitigated.

FISCAL YEAR OF FINDING: December 31, 2024 AUDITOR FINDING: 2024-001 The Authority is responsible for determining client eligibility and entering data into the State of Colorado’s WIC COMPASS system. Although the Medicaid ID number is required for individuals with adjunct eligibility, it is not a mandatory field in COMPASS. Therefore, eligibility can be processed without entering this number. Testing revealed that the Authority did not consistently follow established controls requiring documentation of the state case ID for individuals deemed eligible based on participation in other state programs. Since the Medicaid ID number is not a required field in the COMPASS system, eligibility determinations can be processed without it. The system lacks reporting capabilities to identify missing entries in this field. Additionally, due to a high caseload, the Authority does not have the capacity to conduct 100% case reviews for all clients served. It is recommended that the Authority expand existing case reviews to include five participant records per month per staff member. The results should be incorporated into annual performance evaluations. Additionally, we recommend enhanced training for all staff involved in eligibility determinations. CLIENT PLANNED ACTION: The Authority will implement the following corrective actions: • Denver Health WIC leadership will perform random record reviews of 5 participant records per month per staff member to ensure compliance with Colorado WIC Policies, including accurate income and eligibility documentation. • Include the results of the reviews, including adjunctive eligibility screen, from the 5 reviews per month in the annual employee performance evaluation and communicate the importance of documenting the Medicaid ID. • All Denver Health WIC staff will complete a new training on income determination and documentation. This training will be released by the state WIC office by the end of October 2025 and all staff should complete this training by the end of December 2025. Completion of this training will be documented with an acknowledgment signed by the WIC staff and maintained by the Denver Health WIC Program Manager. CLIENT RESPONSIBLE PARTY: Kate Bennett, WIC Program Manager COMPLETION DATE: 12/31/2025

Finding number 2024-005, material weakness in internal controls over compliance – subrecipient monitoring. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that all subrecipient agreements include the information required by 2 CFR 200.322. This should include a standardized checklist or template for subaward agreements and periodic reviews to verify compliance. We further recommend the entity implement and document procedures to (1) perform and retain evidence of subrecipient risk assessments, and (2) verify and document whether sub-recipients are subject to the Since Audit and, if so, obtain and review the audit reports for findings related to the federal program. Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned in response to the finding: KRJC will develop a standardized checklist for all subaward agreements and will conduct semi-annual reviews to verify compliance with that checklist. As part of this updated review, KRJC will perform updated risk assessments with all sub-awardees and will retain evidence of those risk assessments in sub-awardee files. KRJC will also verify and document whether sub-recipients are subject to the single audit, and, if so, obtain and review the audit reports for findings related to the federal program. KRJC will ensure that any existing sub-awardees are reviewed for compliance no later than November 1, 2025. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: November 1, 2025.
Management agrees with the finding. The Organization hired a new Executive Director in the fall of 2024 and has discussed the matter with the Department of Agriculture and legal counsel to ensure compliance requirements are followed.

Audit Finding: During the 2024 audit, it was noted that there was a miscalculation in the facility use expenses charged to grants. While the error was not material, it highlights a need for improved oversight to prevent future errors. Root Cause: The spreadsheet used to calculate facility use expenses was not reviewed or verified by a second party prior to posting, which led to a calculation error. Corrective Action: Beginning in Quarter 4 of 2025, the facility use expense calculation spreadsheet will be reviewed and verified by a second staff member prior to submission or charging to grants. The reviewer will sign off (physically or electronically) to confirm accuracy of the calculation and grant allocation. Responsible Parties: Allison Hrestak, COO Tina Fornstrom, Business Manager Implementation Date: October 1, 2025 (start of Q4 2025) Ongoing Monitoring: The COO will conduct periodic spot checks (quarterly) to ensure the review and sign-off process is consistently followed. The Business Manager will conduct monthly reviews on the SALBENT AX workbook and facility use workbook for accuracy. Expected Outcome: This added level of review is expected to prevent future calculation errors, ensure accurate cost allocations to grants, and strengthen internal controls related to expense tracking.
The County will implement procedures to ensure this isn’t an issue in the future.

Finding 2024-001 Audit Finding: In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.332(a) of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), pass-through entities are required to “clearly identify to the subrecipient” certain information and requirements at the time of subaward, including the Federal award identification, all compliance requirements, and any additional terms and conditions imposed by the pass-through entity. The Town did not execute a formal subrecipient agreement with Fishers Island Ferry District, to whom federal funds were passed through during the audit period. Specifically, no written agreement was in place outlining the subrecipient’s responsibilities, applicable compliance requirements, or the terms and conditions of the award. Recommendation: We recommend that the Town develop and implement procedures to ensure that formal written subrecipient agreements are executed prior to the disbursement of federal funds. These agreements should contain all elements required by 2 CFR § 200.332(a), including the identification of the federal award, applicable compliance requirements, and any additional terms and conditions. Corrective Action Plan: In coordination with the Supervisor’s office, Town Attorney’s office, and Comptroller’s office, formal subrecipient agreements will be prepared and executed, with adoption of Town Board resolutions, between the Town of Southold and pass-through entities concurrently as Federal grant contracts are awarded, as applicable. Responsible Individual: Albert J. Krupski Jr., Town Supervisor Paul DeChance, Town Attorney Michelle Nickonovitz, Town Comptroller Planned Date of Implementation: Corrective action plan procedures have already been communicated and implemented to ensure that formal written subrecipient agreements with pass-through entities are executed prior to the disbursement of federal funds.

Actions Taken: The institution has implemented an automated process for Exit Counseling to ensure compliance with Title IV requirements. As of August 2025, the system has been configured to automatically send an exit counseling notification to students when they enter one of the following statuses: • Withdrawal • Graduation • Less than half-time enrollment System Workflow: When a student’s status changes, the system immediately generates and sends an email alert containing exit counseling instructions and the necessary links for completion. This ensures timely notification without requiring manual tracking by staff. Monitoring and Compliance: • Reports will be reviewed monthly to confirm that all required students received the exit counseling notifications. • Any discrepancies will be immediately investigated and resolved. Outcome: This automation eliminates the manual process previously in place, ensuring 100% notification compliance and greatly reducing the likelihood of future deficiencies in this area.
