Finding #2025-011 14.267 Continuum of Care Period of Performance Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management’s Position: Condition 1, 2, & 4 Management concurs with the finding. The questioned cost relates to a payroll charge that was initially assigned to a subsequent CoC Planning Grant during the payroll reimbursement process because funding was available under that grant after the prior funding source had been exhausted. During the drawdown review, management identified that the pay period occurred prior to the start of the grant’s period of performance and therefore was not eligible to be charged to that federal award. Upon identification of the issue, the payroll cost was excluded from the reimbursement request and was not included in a federal drawdown. The appropriate corrective action was to reclassify the expense from the CoC Planning Grant to a local funding source. However, at the time the issue was identified, the accounting staff responsible for overseeing payroll reimbursements and related accounting adjustments were in the process of transitioning responsibilities. As a result, while the ineligible cost was not reimbursed with federal funds, the required accounting reclassification was not completed until the subsequent fiscal year. Corrective Actions: Management has strengthened and formalized its payroll reimbursement review procedures to ensure that grant period-of-performance requirements are verified prior to classification of payroll expenses. Management has also established procedures for documenting and tracking identified exceptions to ensure that required accounting adjustments are completed timely and reviewed by supervisory personnel. The RPE Accounting Department will be responsible for ensuring payroll reimbursement classifications are reviewed for compliance with applicable grant period-of-performance requirements. Accounting personnel responsible for payroll reimbursements and related accounting adjustments will maintain documentation of identified exceptions and ensure required adjustments are completed and reviewed by supervisory personnel. Condition 3 Management does not concur with the finding. Explanation of Disagreement: The Manual Journal Voucher (MJV) referenced by the auditor reflects a reclassification of payroll costs between federal grants. While the payroll expenditure relates to a pay period ending June 14, 2025, the expenditure was not ultimately charged to the grant with a period of performance ending December 31, 2024. The purpose of the MJV was to remove the payroll expenditure from the original grant and reclassify it to the appropriate federal grant. The corresponding entry within the same journal voucher charged the expenditure to a grant whose period of performance encompassed the payroll pay period. As a result, the payroll expenditure was not charged to a federal award outside of its period of performance. Management believes the exception resulted from reviewing only one side of the reclassification entry rather than the complete transaction. The supporting MJV demonstrates that the expenditure was removed from the grant with the expired period of performance and reassigned to the appropriate federal award. Accordingly, management respectfully requests reconsideration of this exception. Responsible Party: Katherine Taitano, Chief Planner Anticipated Date of Completion: Condition 1, 2, & 4 The enhanced payroll reimbursement review procedures and exception tracking procedures have been implemented.

Finding #2025-008 14.239 HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program Special Tests and Provisions – Houisng Quality Standards Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management’s Position: #1 Management concurs with the finding and acknowledges the deficiency identified. Corrective action has been initiated. #2 Disagree, the inspection report was only requested for one of the units, submitted on March 12, 2026. Supporting documentation is available for review for the other units upon request. Explanation of Disagreement: For Item #2, GHURA completed onsite inspections for the two acquisition units reviewed. As these units required no rehabilitation, only one inspection was necessary. The remaining two units are new construction projects currently under development. GHURA has conducted ongoing progress inspections and maintained inspection reports prepared by a third-party inspector throughout the construction process. Units are scheduled to be completed 2nd quarter FY2027 at which time the final inspections will be conducted to ensure compliance with program requirements. Corrective Actions: Item #1 - Guam initiated HOME rental monitoring and technical assistance for the three rental developments currently within their compliance periods. Consistent with the schedule provided to HUD by GHURA, RPE conducted entrance meetings with the Subrecipient organization’s deputy director and key staff on June 17, 2026. The Subrecipient was notified of physical inspections scheduled for June 22, 23, and 25, 2026, to be conducted by GHURA AE. One complex, containing more than ten (10) HOME-assisted units, will also undergo financial viability monitoring. File reviews, interviews, and document collection are currently underway. Item #1 – RP&E has initiated this action and will continue as required moving forward. Responsible Party: Jo Lyn Terlaje, Community Development Manager Anticipated Date of Completion: Item #1 - The monitoring process will conclude within 30 days of the entrance meeting, on July 17, 2026, at which time a letter outlining the monitoring results will be issued.

Finding #2025-007 14.239 HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program Eligibility Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management’s Position: #1 Management concurs and acknowledges that approving the matter without a more thorough evaluation was an oversight. #2 Management disagrees. HOME maximum subsidy per 3-bedroom unit is $338,419.00. Total HOME investment is $112,500.00. Corrective Actions: Corrective actions include strengthening internal controls and oversight. Management will implement a more comprehensive review process moving forward. This process will include additional supervisory review, verification of supporting documentation, confirmation of regulatory and policy compliance, and consultation with appropriate program and legal staff, when necessary, before approvals are granted. Management will also establish review checklists and documentation standards to ensure that all relevant factors are consistently evaluated and adequately documented. Moving forward, the Community Development Division will undergo a more rigorous evaluation process standardized review checklists and documentation requirements will be implemented to promote consistency, accountability, and proper recordkeeping. Management will monitor compliance with these enhanced procedures to reduce the risk of future deficiencies, oversights and ensure approvals are supported by adequate due diligence. Responsible Party: Jo Lyn Terlaje, Community Development Manager Anticipated Date of Completion: Final approval checklists will be implemented by August 1, 2026.
Finding #2025-005 14.225 CDBG – Endtitlement Grants Cluster B19ST660001, B20ST660001, B20SW660001, B21ST660001, B22ST660001, B23ST660001, B24ST660001 Reporting - Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management’s Position: Ma...
Finding #2025-005 14.225 CDBG – Endtitlement Grants Cluster B19ST660001, B20ST660001, B20SW660001, B21ST660001, B22ST660001, B23ST660001, B24ST660001 Reporting - Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management’s Position: Management partially concurs with the finding. Management acknowledges that documenting FFATA lagged in some instances during the earlier periods reviewed. In some instances, challenges with the reporting system complicated our ability to submit timely reports. This was discussed with the audit team. A review of additional requests by the auditor was not completed in time to be incorporated into this commentary. Explanation of Disagreement: FFATA submissions in FSRS are often complicated by limitations in the reporting system. For example, validation of an awardee’s address was often an impediment to completing the FFATA submission. The result is the inability to complete the reporting process. Responsible staff would make multiple varied attempts to enter verified information that would be rejected. In an effort to comply, responsible staff make attempts to resolve this either through the funder or the reporting system. Corrective Actions: To strengthen FFATA reporting, management will review its established processes of pre-award through award documentation. Management will review assigned responsibilities to ensure confirmation of FFATA submission. The RPE Division is responsible for FFATA reporting into SAM.gov. Specific responsibilities to oversee this process are assigned and necessary accesses assigned. Responsible Party: Katherine Taitano, Chief Planner Anticipated Date of Completion: Immediate. The processes of FFATA reporting are in place for all FFTA submissions. Personnel are assigned to ensure the FFTA process is executed and documented for all funded activities.
Finding #2025-004 14.225 CDBG – Endtitlement Grants Cluster B23ST660001, COVID-19 B20SW660001, B20ST660001 Reporting - CDBG Financial Summary Report Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management’s Position: Management partially concurs with the finding.

Finding #2025-004 14.225 CDBG – Endtitlement Grants Cluster B23ST660001, COVID-19 B20SW660001, B20ST660001 Reporting - CDBG Financial Summary Report Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management’s Position: Management partially concurs with the finding. Management acknowledges that supporting documentation explaining differences between the PR26 – CDBG Financial Summary Report, PR26 – CDBG-CV Financial Summary Report, and the Authority’s accounting records can be further strengthened. However, management does not concur that the identified differences resulted in noncompliance with CDBG expenditure requirements or applicable Public Service (PS) and Planning and Administration (PA) expenditure limitations. Explanation of Disagreement: Management notes that the PR26 report referenced in the finding is not the final CDBG Financial Summary Report submitted for Program Year 2024. Management requests that the PR26 report submitted in response to audit request #204 be considered for purposes of evaluating the reported CDBG financial activity. Management also notes that the FY2025 expense detail does not represent the full amount of CDBG expenditures reflected in FY2025 draw activity. This is because certain payroll expenditures incurred during FY2024 were drawn during FY2025 and are therefore included in FY2025 cash activity reported through HUD. Management notes that the purpose of the PR26 reports is to summarize CDBG and CDBG-CV financial activity and demonstrate compliance with applicable program expenditure limitations, including the Public Service and Planning and Administration caps. Management has reviewed these calculations and confirmed, in coordination with HUD representatives, that the applicable caps were not exceeded. Management further notes that differences between the PR26 reports and the Authority’s accounting records may occur due to differences in reporting methodologies. The PR26 reports are prepared based on cash activity reported through HUD, while the Authority’s financial records are maintained on an accrual basis. As a result, differences may occur due to timing of draws, prior-period expenditures drawn during the current reporting period, and other applicable reconciling items. Based on the above, management maintains that the identified differences are attributable to reporting basis and timing differences rather than noncompliance with CDBG expenditure requirements. The final CDBG Financial Summary Reports and supporting documentation have been provided for the auditor’s consideration. Corrective Actions: Management will enhance existing PR26 preparation procedures by maintaining supporting documentation identifying significant reconciling items between HUD-reported activity and the Authority’s accounting records. The purpose of this documentation will be to explain differences resulting from reporting methodology, timing of draws, prior-period expenditures drawn during the current reporting period, and other applicable reconciling items. The RPE Accounting Department, will be responsible for maintaining supporting documentation for PR26 reporting and documenting significant reconciling items. Supervisory review will continue to be performed prior to submission of future PR26 reports to ensure reported information is supported and appropriately documented. Responsible Party: Katherine Taitano, Chief Planner Anticipated Date of Completion: The enhanced documentation procedures will be implemented beginning with the next PR26 reporting cycle.
The County will develop procedures to ensure that required federal reports will be reviewed and approved by an independent person who is knowledgeable about the program. Indpendent review will be documented.

Finding 2025-003 Accounting for Grants, Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, and Fiscal Man-agement (Material Weakness) Assistance Listing Number and Title: 84.184H Title IV ESEA, School Based Mental Health Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.510(b), ...
Finding 2025-003 Accounting for Grants, Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, and Fiscal Man-agement (Material Weakness) Assistance Listing Number and Title: 84.184H Title IV ESEA, School Based Mental Health Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.510(b), the auditee must prepare a complete and accurate Schedule of Federal Expenditures (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements and submit it with the reporting package by the date required by auditors. The SEFA must include total federal awards expended by Assistance Listing (ALN, formerly CFDA), pass-through entity identifying numbers as applicable, the amount provided to subrecipients (if any), and other required disclosures. The SEFA must include all federal expenditures and awards for the year reported and be reconciled to the General Ledger. Condition: The District did not timely prepare an accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). The SEFA provided for audit did not reconcile to the District’s general ledger and contained multiple inaccuracies, including reporting federal expenditures in excess of current-year general ledger activity and misclassification of awards, with certain state programs incorrectly reported as federal programs. Cause: The District lacked effective internal controls over the preparation and review of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Specifically, expenditures reported on the SEFA were not reconciled to the District’s general ledger, and there was no documented review process to verify program classification or reported amounts. Changes in finance staff and the incomplete status of the District’s general ledger at year-end further contributed to the errors and untimely completion of the SEFA. Effect or Potential Effect: Expenditures of federal awards may be reported incorrectly and not be detected and corrected. Because the Auditee’s SEFA was completed incorrectly and not reconciled to the general ledger the SEFA was materially misstated, prior to auditors’ correction recommendations. Questioned Cost: None noted Context: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) is a required supplementary schedule for Single Audit reporting and is intended to accurately reflect federal award activity in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. During the audit, the District provided an initial SEFA that was not timely and contained material inaccuracies. The re-ported expenditures did not reconcile to the District’s general ledger. Certain programs were incorrectly identified as feder-al rather than state awards, and some federal expenditures exceeded amounts recorded in the accounting records. Because the SEFA was neither complete nor accurate at the time of submission, auditors were required to perform addi-tional procedures to identify errors, investigate discrepancies, and propose audit adjustments. Thei extended the audit timeline and increased the risk of noncompliance with federal reporting requirements. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: No Recommendation: The District should strengthen internal controls over SEFA preparation by ensuring the general ledger is finalized prior to preparation, reconciling all reported expenditures to accounting records, and implementing a docu-mented review and approval process to verify accuracy and proper program classification. Strengthening procedures, cross training staff, and implementing supervisory review and approval process to verify accuracy, completeness and proper classification of federal versus state awards will enhance compliance with Uniform Guidance, and reduce the risk of future audit findings, and support a more efficient and timely audit process. District’s Response: The District agrees with the finding and recognizes that staffing changes and an incomplete year-end close contributed to the SEFA issues. The District is strengthening reconciliation, review, and oversight procedures to en-sure timely and accurate SEFA reporting in future years. Corrective Action Plan: The District transitioned to a new accounting software for the year ended June 30, 2026. The new system will allow for more clear tracking of individual federal awardS. that are required to be reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Additionally, the new business manager for the 2026-2027 fiscal year has multiple years' experience in preparing Schedules of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Planned Implementation Date: August 1, 2026 Responsible Person: District Finance Director

FINDING 2025-002 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Jeffrey Spalding Contact Phone Number: 317-776-6328 Views of Responsible Official: The City concurs with the finding and recommendation. While monitoring activities were performed for all subrecipients of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, the City acknowledges that a formal written procedure and a standardized tracking mechanism were not in place to ensure all monitoring activities were consistently documented in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. Description of Correction Action Plan: The City is in the process of developing and implementing formal written procedures for subrecipient monitoring to ensure compliance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.332 and other applicable Uniform Guidance provisions. The procedures will establish responsibilities for evaluating subrecipient risk, performing monitoring activities, following up on identified deficiencies, and maintaining documentation supporting monitoring efforts. The City will continue to maintain a centralized tracking system, within its new ERP system, for all federal awards passed through to subrecipients. The tracking system will document subrecipient agreements, risk assessments, reporting requirements, monitoring activities performed, required follow-up actions, and the status of corrective actions, if applicable. Prior to issuing federal funds to a subrecipient, the City will perform and document a risk assessment considering factors such as the subrecipient's prior experience with federal awards, results of previous audits, financial stability, personnel and systems responsible for federal compliance, and any identified compliance concerns. Monitoring procedures will be tailored based on the assessed level of risk. Throughout the period of performance, the City will review required financial and performance reports, verify compliance with applicable award requirements, review audit reports when required, and follow up on any identified deficiencies. Documentation supporting all monitoring activities will be maintained in accordance with federal record retention requirements. Management believes these procedures will strengthen compliance with Uniform Guidance requirements and ensure subrecipient monitoring activities are performed consistently, timely, and appropriately documented.

AUDITOR FINDING: 2025-001 Eligibility. We noted the following issues in the 25 cases tested: 1. One instance in which client income was incorrectly entered and as such, was ineligible for benefits as they were over the income limits for all of 2025. 2. Three instances in which, although case notes indicated general contact with the participant, the County did not retain sufficient documentation that a required meeting specifically addressed or confirmed engagement in an eligible work activity or was completed within required timeframe. Recommendation: We recommend that the County continue to strengthen internal controls related to eligibility determinations. This includes issuing training alerts related to the differences of subsidized and unsubsidized employment income and the impacts to eligibility. Additionally, we recommend continued periodic quality assurance reviews of TANF case files to ensure ongoing compliance with federal and state eligibility requirements and identification of employees with performance issues. Finally, we recommend the County develop monitoring reports to identify those clients who have not had a workforce contact in the required timeframe. CLIENT PLANNED ACTION: Jefferson County agrees with the findings and has taken or will take the following steps to address the errors. The findings were caused by workers on both the eligibility and workforce teams so varying measures will be implemented based on the finding and responsible team. Jefferson County will continue and implement the following actions to address and prevent future findings. • Eligibility Team Actions o Jefferson County will issue a training alert to all eligibility staff by June 20, 2026, detailing the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized employment, correct data entry, and the impact of each on TANF eligibility. o To monitor compliance, the County will continue completing Internal Quality Assurance reviews utilizing the state mandated list to assess the case and payment accuracy. • Workforce Development Team Actions o Performance concerns related to inconsistent client contact and incomplete documentation were identified during regular performance reviews in January 2026 and have been successfully addressed via the county Employee Relations coaching and disciplinary framework. •To monitor compliance, the County will continue completing Internal Quality Assurance reviews utilizing the state mandated list. In addition, Colorado Works Supervisors review at least one case per worker each month. Beginning in June 2026, the number will be increased to a minimum of 10 cases per month if a performance concern is identified. o Tableau reports have been created or enhanced to monitor compliance. • Individual case worker accuracy reports for all IQA and Supervisor reviews were released in March 2026. Progress reviews have been incorporated into monthly supervision meetings with staff. • Enhancement to report titled, Cases Needing Action, which tracks data entry of client contact and Individual Plan development in CBMS was completed on June 1, 2026. Workers will now be notified if client contact exceeds 30 days. Workers and supervisors will review the report monthly and take proactive measures for client contact prior to exceeding rule requirement of 90 days.

The Puerto Rico Ports Authority (PRPA) acknowledges the audit finding regarding the unused capital advances as of June 30, 2025. It is important to clarify that these funds were received under the Working Capital Advance (WCA) Program, an initiative led by COR3 to expedite the implementation of FEMA-funded recovery projects. The WCA Program provides subrecipients, such as PRPA, with a 25% upfront advance of the total project cost to address initial project expenses and mitigate delays due to cash flow constraints. The WCA advance is disbursed by PRPA upon completion of contracted deliverables by vendors or suppliers, particularly during the design and early implementation phases of projects. As of the audit date, most of PRPA’s FEMA projects under the WCA were still in the design phase, and the disbursements made thus far correspond to completed design services. The remaining balance of WCA funds will be disbursed as vendors fulfill the contractual milestones tied to architectural and engineering (A&E) and construction services. The apparent delay between fund receipt and disbursement reflects the timing of deliverable completion rather than a lack of project activity. PRPA continues to monitor the progress of A&E and construction services to ensure timely disbursement aligned with actual project progress. To strengthen the oversight of WCA funds and ensure timely utilization, PRPA management is implementing enhanced administrative controls. These include the development and formal adoption of internal procedures aimed at improving the handling, identification, and classification of FEMArelated funds. These measures will support be􀄴er alignment between fund disbursement and project execution timelines and demonstrate PRPA’s commitment to the prudent and compliant management of federal funds.

Finding No. 2025-006 – Internal control deficiencies over accounting for federal funds received from the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Corrective Action Plan Single Audit 2025 Page 6 April 30, 2026 Condition During our procedures over the Authority’s funds received from FEMA we noticed the following: 1. Return of interest earned on FEMA-related funds totaling approximately $211,853 was not timely recorded in the general ledger and was subsequently recorded through a post-closing entry dated January 26, 2026. 2. Management initially misclassified approximately $6 million received under the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds as state funds rather than federal awards. As a result, the amount was originally excluded from the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule). Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions It should be noted that, although certain funds received were not properly identified as working capital advances, those funds were properly considered as received from FEMA through the COR-3 office of the Government of Puerto Rico. This situation basically arises because the federal funds coming from FEMA are being handled by outside consultants, without any coordination with the Federal Funds Management Office (FFMO). The Authority’s management will ensure that, in the future, the FFMO will coordinate with the assigned outside consultants all the efforts necessary for the proper handling, identification and classification of funds received from FEMA.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN -For FY 2025 Audit Finding FINDING: 2025-001-ALN 14.871 & 14.879: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program & Housing Quality Standards Inspection/HQS Enforcement CRITERIA: 24 CFR 982.405 & 983.103 require units leased, under the HCV Program, to be inspected at least biennially to determine if the unit meets Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the PHA must conduct quality control re-inspections. CONDITION: During the audit, three (3) failed HQS inspections, with life threatening issues as defined by the WVHA’s Administrative Plan, was found that did not receive a pass in conformance with the Criteria noted above and no HAP abatement process was enforced. Additionally, two (2) HCV units were found to have not been inspected at least biennially. PLAN FOR CORRECTION: Inspection Protocols- With the limitation of time imposed by the 24-hour remedy period, staff were calling and/or emailing the landlords as soon as they noted a Life, Health & Safety deficiency. Inspection staff have been informed that all Life Health and Safety deficiencies will immediately trigger a letter to the landlord (with a copy to the HCV caseworker) stating that Housing Assistance Payments will be placed in abatement and the HCV caseworkers will perform such abatement action as soon as the 24-hour period has elapsed (unless informed by the inspector that the property has subsequently corrected the deficiencies). Documentation- Physical inspection records will be provided to each HCV caseworker and be added to the tenant household’s HCV file within 24 hours of the inspection. HCV caseworkers are required to ensure all inspection documentation is properly located within each HCV file and such documentation is in accordance with the program’s rules and regulations.
