Finding Reference Number: 2024-001 Identification of the Federal Program: Grantor: United States Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: Health Centers Cluster Assistance Listing No.: 93.224, 93.527 Name of responsible official: James Geraghty Associate Vice President, Faculty Practice Group Phone: (718) 430-3255 Email: james.geraghty@einsteinmed.edu Projected completion date: October 1, 2025 Condition In accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200.303, Internal controls, “Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award.” The Health System was unable to demonstrate that internal controls were operating effectively to ensure proper application of the Health System’s policy relating to the sliding fee discount schedule (SFDS). Specifically, documentation supporting the application of the SFDS was not obtained within a year of the visit in line with the Health System’s policy. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions Management concurred with the audit finding and implemented standardized procedures to enhance screening and enrollment of patients. Additional controls are in place to ensure timely documentation of income and family size. In order to ensure compliance with the SFDS policy including documentation and retention, a policy was adopted requiring reviews on the day before visit, during visit and day after visit, as well as periodic retrospective reviews. There will be regular staff training on eligibility, determination and documentation requirements.

September 30, 2025 Management’s Response to 2024 Audited Financial Statements Findings and Corrective Action Plan: Coastal Community Action Program agrees with the findings reported and has made corrective actions to rectify the findings. The omission of this award from the SEFA was the result of an unusual reallocation of funding by the Washington State Department of Commerce. The award was originally awarded and recorded as state funds. In September 2024, the Washington State Department of Commerce reallocated a portion of its funding and amended the grant terms to designate the award as being funded under the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (21.027). Because the reallocation and revised terms were communicated late in the fiscal year, management did not identify the change in time to ensure that the award was correctly reported as federal on the SEFA. The adjustment was therefore an oversight and not an intentional misclassification. 2024-001 Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards CCAP Executive Leadership understands the function and necessity of preparing a complete and accurate SEFA. 1. Policy and Procedures Development: By November 15, 2025, management will develop and adopt written policies and procedures requiring formal review of all grant amendments, reallocations, and correspondence from pass-through entities to determine whether funding sources have changed and whether SEFA reporting is affected. 2. Internal Control Implementation: Management will implement a dual-review process in which both the Finance Director and Grants Manager verify the funding source and assistance listing number for all awards and amendments before SEFA preparation. 3. Training: Staff responsible for grants management and financial reporting will complete training on Uniform Guidance financial management and SEFA preparation requirements by November 15, 2025, with refresher training annually thereafter. 4. Ongoing Monitoring: Management will conduct a pre-audit SEFA review each year, reconciling all awards and amendments to source documentation, including grant agreements, amendments, and communications from pass-through entities. Responsible Party: Lucy Machowek, CFO Planned Completion Date: November 15, 2025

Health Resources and Services Administration Brooklyn Plaza Medical Center, Inc. respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2024. CohnReznick LLP 1301 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10019 Audit Period: December 31, 2024 The findings from the December 31, 2024 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS – FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AUDIT U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, COVID-19 Health Center Program Cluster (Assistance Listing Number 93.224/93.527) FAIN # H8000410, H8N53897, and H8L50850 for 2024 Finding 2024-001 – Special Tests and Provisions MATERIAL WEAKNESS Recommendation We recommend that proper training be given to employees at registration to ensure that the sliding fee discounts be monitored and reviewed by a supervisor on a periodic basis to ensure compliance with the sliding fee scale. In addition, management should conduct internal audits to ensure the sliding fee is calculated properly. Action Taken Corrective action for this finding was put in place in September 2024 We agree with the auditors finding. We acknowledge that, within the current audit sample of 57 patient files, 2 were found to contain instances of noncompliance with the Sliding Fee Scale (SFS) requirements. We recognize the importance of full compliance and remain firmly to continuous improvement in this area. It is important to note that this represents a significant improvement from the prior year’s audit. The identification of only 2 errors out of 57 patients’ files selected highlights the effectiveness of the corrective actions plan we implemented in response to the previous finding. Corrective Actions and Improvements Implemented: 1. Staff Training- Following the prior audit, front desk staff received additional training emphasized accurate application of SFS policies, required documentation, and proper income verification protocols. 2. Internal Auditing- Beginning in September 2024, The CEO designated the Compliance Officer to conduct daily audits of SFS related documentation. These real time audits help identify and correct issues promptly, with findings continuously incorporated into staff training programs. While we are encourage with the progress made, we remain focused on achieving full compliance and will continue to refine our processes and training to meet that goal. If the Health Resources and Services Administration has questions regarding this plan, please call Daniel Desire, Chief Financial Officer at 718-596-9800, ext 226. Sincerely yours, Daniel Desire, CFO

Finding 2024-008 I. Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Information on the federal program: Grantor: Grantor: Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of Labor, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals, National Science Foundation, Department of Veteran Affairs, Environment Protection Agency, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Agency for International Development Program Name: Research and Development Cluster Assistance Listing No.: Various Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the finding described above. Due to a system failure, vendor payment files from January through September 2024 were not transmitted to Mount Sinai’s sanction screening vendor. Mount Sinai has taken corrective actions to address this issue. All current vendors in our vendor master file, as well as all new vendors added through our new vendor credentialing process, are now processed through our sanction screening vendor on a monthly basis. In addition, a new manual control has been implemented to review, confirm, and reconcile to ensure that the vendor master file has been transmitted successfully, and all vendors are screened for sanctions, and a report thereof is provided each month. Our process will also document and maintain evidence that unverified vendors or those that were indicated as excluded were investigated and evaluated by the Health System. We will also periodically perform independent sanction screening checks on a sample of our vendors to validate the accuracy of the results of our third-party sanction screening vendor. Name of responsible official: Franco Sagliocca Corporate Director, Supply Chain Franco.sagliocca@mountsinai.org Projected completion date: Our vendor credentialing process was establishing with our ERP implementation on October 7, 2024. Our enhanced procedures to reconcile our file transmissions to our independent third-party and perform screening checks on samples of vendors verified by our independent third-party is expected to be implemented by December 31, 2025.

Management concurs with KPMG’s assessment that the risk assessment and monitoring control activities were not sufficiently designed to ensure adequate segregation of duties or to provide evidence of control operation. These gaps were primarily due to limited staffing and processes that have not evolved to meet all compliance requirements. Management will implement new control policies and procedures that ensure proper segregation of duties and introduce review mechanisms at a sufficient level of precision to detect and prevent noncompliance. These policies and procedures will be implemented by December 31, 2025.

Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) Filing for Subawards. Assistance Listing No. 93.493 Congressional Directives: Kupuna Support Navigator Program (KSNP) The KSNP project manager and senior management reviewed and submitted the FFATA required reporting, which included the subrecipient's name, subaward date, and subaward amount on SAM.gov website prior to the completion of this federal grant, which ended on June 30, 2025. The funder confirmed receipt of our reporting and did not specify any implications for late submission. As recommended by the auditors, HIPHI has developed a process to help identify the subawards subject to the FFATA reporting requirements prior to the start of the grant, and to ensure that reporting is reviewed, approved for completeness and accuracy, and filed in a timely manner. The Director of Finance, Finance and Accounting Manager, Program Managers and contract signers will be responsible for implementing these corrective actions by the end of 2025.
Finding: Subrecipient Single Audits.

Finding: Subrecipient Single Audits. The Organization’s grant and subgrant agreements explicitly require subgrantees to undergo a single audit if they expend $750,000 or more in a fiscal year, as stipulated by the Department of State. However, audits were not performed for subgrantees exceeding this threshold in Cameroon, South Sudan, and Iraq. This non-compliance was caused by failures in the subrecipient control monitoring process. Corrective Action Plan JRS/USA recognizes the risk presented when Country Offices (COs) or Regional Offices (ROs) are unable to meet audit requirements, particularly when receiving U.S. federal funds. While JRS/USA does not have direct authority to mandate CO/RO audits in all regions, we recognize our responsibility to ensure federal compliance across the global network. To address this, JRS/USA will implement a stricter due diligence and pre-award assessment process. Specifically, going forward, COs/ROs must demonstrate the ability to meet audit and financial reporting requirements as a condition for receiving federal funding. If these requirements are not met, JRS USA will take corrective action, which may include suspending their inclusion in federal awards until compliance can be assured. JRS/USA will also revisit the previously proposed “go/no-go” framework and explore its formal adoption as part of a broader compliance risk management strategy. To address this gap and strengthen subrecipient oversight related to audit compliance, JRS/USA is implementing the following measures: 1. Reinforced Audit Clause Communication JRS/USA has reviewed and re-communicated the audit requirements to all subrecipients (country offices), particularly those with high federal expenditures. Subgrantees are being reminded annually in writing of their obligation to procure a Single Audit or Program-Specific Audit if they meet the $750,000 threshold. 2. Enhanced Subrecipient Monitoring Process The subrecipient monitoring framework has been updated to include: a) Annual tracking of total federal expenditures by each subrecipient (country office) b) Flagging of subrecipients approaching the $750,000 threshold c) A review checkpoint at year-end to determine audit applicability d) Clear documentation requirements and timelines for submitting audit report 3. Audit Compliance Checklist and Tracker A standardized checklist has been created to track audit requirements and receipt of audit documentation from all subrecipients (country offices). This checklist is maintained centrally by the JRS/USA compliance or grants team and reviewed quarterly. 4. Technical Support to Subrecipients Subrecipients (country offices) that may lack familiarity with the Single Audit requirement are being offered guidance and support on: a) Identifying qualified auditors b) Understanding scope and timing of required audits c) Budgeting for audit costs appropriately 5. Subaward Risk Assessments Updated The risk assessment conducted during subaward issuance and annual monitoring now includes specific indicators for federal expenditure levels and audit compliance risk. This ensures earlier detection and mitigation for high-risk subrecipients. Timeline for Implementation All corrective actions have been implemented or will be fully in effect by January 30, 2026. Responsible Party Samira Ahmed, Senior Grants and Compliance Specialist, will be responsible for ensuring subrecipient audit compliance and ongoing monitoring.

2024-002 – Documentation of Controls over Suspension and Debarment (Repeat Finding) Finding Type. Immaterial Noncompliance/Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance (Procurement, Suspension and Debarment, Subrecipient Monitoring). Program. Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds; U.S. Department of Treasury; ALN 21.027, All Awards. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our testing of suspension and debarment for three vendors and six subrecipients, it was determined that the Organization did not verify that vendors or subrecipients were not suspended, debarred or otherwise excluded when the Organization contracted with them to provide goods or services for five of the nine vendors and subrecipients. The searches at www.sam.gov were done in early 2025 by management, which was well after the date of the applicable contractual agreement and expenditure activity. The failure to monitor suspension and debarment could cause funds to be disbursed to vendors or subrecipients who are not eligible to have goods and services purchased with federal monies. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the Organization retain documentation of their procurement process including checking vendors for potential exclusions from federal award work. We further recommend that these checks be done prior to entering into a contractual agreement. Corrective Action. LEAP will be following the recommendation of retaining all documentation of our procurement process including the checking of vendors both at state and federal levels for any potential exclusions from federal award work, and ensuring these checks be done prior to contract execution. LEAP will be substantially modifying its procurement policy that is part of its Grants Management SOP in order to more explicitly detail expectations and procedural steps to meet the requirements of Uniform Guidance with regards to sequence of events leading up to contract execution, including the state and federal checks for exclusion. Further, LEAP’s leadership will be holding a module within the aforementioned internal training for all management team members to walk through a new check list tool that aligns with policy and Uniform Guidance, and case study exercise will also hit on this topic to ensure learning occurs around the internal controls improvements made with policy revamp. Responsible Person. Tony Klisch, LEAP CFO Anticipated Completion Date. August 31, 2025

2024-001 – Lack of Subrecipient Monitoring Activities Finding Type. Immaterial Noncompliance/Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance (Subrecipient Monitoring). Program. Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds; U.S. Department of Treasury; ALN 21.027, All Awards. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. Six subrecipients were selected for testing during the audit procedures. There was no subrecipient agreement noted for one of the subrecipients selected, therefore the required federal award information was not properly communicated. Additionally, no risk assessment was performed, nor was a monitoring plan within documentation of monitoring activities noted for this subrecipient. For the remaining five subrecipients selected for testing, the required federal award information was not properly communicated within the agreements. Lastly, the Organization does not have a procedure requiring the review of subrecipient audits. As a result of this condition, the Organization did not fully comply with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that management become familiar with the subrecipient monitoring requirements and draft a policy and procedures that provide reasonable assurance that future subrecipient arrangements will be in compliance with the Uniform Guidance. Corrective Action. In an effort for LEAP to become more familiar with the subrecipient monitoring requirements and drafting policy and procedures that provide assurance that future subrecipient arrangements will be in full compliance with the Uniform Guidance federal regulations, LEAP will be modifying its Grants Management SOP to more explicitly detail expectations and procedural steps to meet the requirements of Uniform Guidance. Further, LEAP’s leadership will be holding an internal training for all management team members to discuss this revamped set of policies, go through case study exercises and question and answer session to make sure that all those managing grants or the employees that manage grants have a full understanding of what is expected of them, and their role in various management and oversight processes for the organization.

Program Name - STOP Violence Grant- Victim Services CFDA Number - 16.588 Pass-through Entity - Michigan Department of Health and Human Service Condition and Description - For 4 out of 20 samples tested, during our testing of participant eligibility under the STOP Violence against Women Formula Grants, the Organization was unable to provide enrollment forms or supporting documentation. These forms are necessary to verify that participants met the program's eligibility criteria. YWCA Response- The YWCA Victim Services acknowledges this finding and has implemented the following corrective action plan to ensure compliance. Corrective Action Plan - Procedures exist to ensure all clients are enrolled and eligible for services under the STOP grant. In addition to documentation in the Apricot system, an additional legal screening process and intake forms are used to determine eligibility and complete client enrollment within a Victim Services application called MyCase. During the audit, documentation for the four identified cases from MyCase was erroneously excluded, causing the finding. As a subsequent event, the documentation for intake and eligibility for the four identified cases was provided to the external auditors. This process will continue, and future audits will include client documentation for both systems. Additionally, Enforcement of enrollment procedures within Apricot, and oversight from department Directors, has been made a priority. Time Frame for Correction -Appropriate procedures were in place during the full audit year of 2024 and will continue into future years. Corrective action related to documentation within the Apricot system was implemented in August 2025. Individuals Responsible - Jessica Glynn, Vice President of Victim Services and Kellie Swikoski, Grant Manager.

Views of Responsible Officials: The delay resulted primarily from turnover within the grants management team and the concurrent implementation of a new subaward monitoring system during the reporting period. These factors temporarily affected the timely completion and review of FFATA submissions. To address the issue and prevent recurrence, HI has taken the following corrective actions: 1. Process Strengthening: Internal grants management procedures have been updated to include a detailed FFATA reporting checklist and a pre-submission timeline that allows for earlier internal review. 2. Staff Training: All grants and compliance staff received refresher training in February 2025 on FFATA reporting requirements and internal deadlines. 3. Oversight and Monitoring: The Director of Grants and Compliance will review FFATA submissions monthly to ensure adherence to Federal reporting deadlines. HI is committed to maintaining full compliance with Federal requirements and will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these corrective measures throughout the current fiscal year.Anticipated Completion Date: February 2025 (with ongoing monthly monitoring throughout the current fiscal year).
