Corrective Action Plan: To address the documentation deficiency related to the application of internal controls for sliding fee scale eligibility determinations, Partnership Community Health Center will reinforce and monitor the following ongoing practices: 1. Staff Training: Ongoing and refresher training is provided to all staff responsible for processing sliding fee scale applications. Training emphasizes the importance of documenting each step in the eligibility review and approval process. 2. Checklist Utilization: Staff continue to use the established checklist for each sliding fee scale application, ensuring all required steps in the eligibility review and approval process are documented, initialed, and dated. 3. Weekly Audits: Patient Services and Outreach Managers conduct regular weekly audits of a sample of sliding fee scale applications to verify that documentation of internal control procedures is consistently maintained. Any identified issues are addressed promptly with targeted corrective actions as needed. 4. Ongoing Monitoring: Results of the weekly audits are reviewed during monthly compliance meetings to ensure that corrective actions are implemented and sustained. Additional Context: This was an isolated case involving a staff member who was in training at the time of the incident and is no longer with the organization. All current staff have completed required training, and ongoing refresher sessions are in place to prevent recurrence. Person(s) Responsible: • Patient Services and Outreach Managers (for weekly checklist oversight, audits, and corrective actions) • Compliance Officer • CFO and PCHC Billing Timing for Implementation: • These practices are ongoing. Continued monitoring and reinforcement will ensure sustained compliance.

Material Weakness in Internal control Over Compliance and Materia Noncompliance – Reporting Condition The Association did not report the current year subaward data to the FSRS within the required time. Additionally, the Association did not retroactively submit the report information for the subawards that were executed in the prior years but had active funding in the current year. Status In Progress Corrective Action In 2026, AVCP has retroactively filed reports in fiscal year 2026 on Tribal Self Governance funding for pass-through funding to Federally recognized Tribes for subrecipient awards including Aid to Tribal Government, Tribal Courts, and emergency funding for the prior years. The Association has implemented controls to ensure that reports are filed within the given timeline.

CONDITION: During my review of the District’s compliance with the laws and regulations related to filing its federal grant program ‘Quarterly Cash On Hand Reconciliations’, and ‘Final Expenditure Reports (FER)’, I noted that the School District did not file the required Quarterly Cash on Hand Reconciliations and required Final Expenditure Report (FER) for the 2024-2025 fiscal year Title 1 grant program within the required reporting timeframes as specified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the Uniform Guidance. CRITERIA: The Department of Education requires the completion of the Quarterly Cash on Hand Reconciliation by the 10th working day after each quarter, and submission of a ‘Final Expenditure Report’ (FER) within 30 days of expending all grant funding. In addition, Section 2 CFR 200.344 of the Uniform Guidance requires the submission of financial reports no later than 90 calendar days after the end date of the grant period for performance (or an earlier date as agreed-upon by the pass-through entity and subrecipient, which in this case is 30 days as required by PDE). RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the District develop fiscal procedures to ensure that ‘Quarterly Cash on Hand Reconciliations’ and ‘Final Expenditure Reports’ for future fiscal years are completed and filed in a timely manner based on supporting financial information obtained from the District’s business office, in order to 1) comply with PDE reporting requirements for the District’s applicable federal programs, and 2) to avoid any future sanctions such as suspension of grant payments by PDE as a result of not filing these reports in a timely manner. These procedures should include, at a minimum, cross-training of business office personnel with regard to the completion of these reports so that the absence of one individual would not result in these reports not being filed in a timely manner. MANAGEMENT’S PLANNED CORRECTIVE ACTION: The School District will implement procedures for timely and accurate reporting of the Quarterly Cash on Hand Reconciliation Reports and Final Expenditure Report (FER). The financial information in the Quarterly Cash on Hand Reconciliation Report and FER will accurately reflect internal reporting contained in the School District’s general ledger according to the Manual of Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pennsylvania Local Educational Agencies and the PA Chart of Accounts. The timeframe for completion will commence during the later part of the 2025-2026 fiscal year and continue into the first half of 2026-2027 fiscal year until completed. These procedures will be applied going forward to ensure the accurate and timely filing of the required federal program Quarterly Cash on Hand Reconciliation Reports and the Final Expenditure Report (FER) for submission to the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

Reporting – Special Reports for FFATA and Subrecipient Monitoring Assistance Listing Number 14.251 – Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Federal Award Identification Number(s): B-22-CP-CO-0165 Award Year – 2022 Condition: During testing of FFATA reporting requirements, it was noted that the City had one applicable first-tier subrecipient; however, the City did not report the subaward information in SAM.gov. Additionally, during testing of subrecipient monitoring, it was noted that the City did not communicate required federal award information or increase in funding to its sole subrecipient as required by 2 CFR § 200.332(a). Planned Corrective Action: The City corrected the FFATA reporting in SAM.gov and the reporting now includes the subaward information for the subrecipient. In addition, the City provided a letter to its sole subrecipient to communicate the required federal award information. Additional procedures will be implemented for Departments to identify subrecipients during the grant set up process with the Controller’s Office to ensure that FAFTA reporting is completed for required grants and subrecipients. Finally, the City will continue to work with the Legal Department to create subrecipient agreements and ensure that federal award information is detailed in the executed agreements.

Management concurs that a formal written procurement policy was not in place during the FY2025 audit period. Procurement activities were governed by established operational practices during FY2025, and a formal Procurement & Contract Administration Policy was adopted and implemented in March 2026. The policy defines staff responsibilities, risk-assessment procedures, monitoring activities, documentation requirements, follow-up procedures, and compliance review requirements. Management has also implemented standardized risk-assessment and monitoring tools to support consistent documentation and oversight of subrecipients. Anticipated Completion Date: March 2026. Responsible Contact Person: Michael Quan, Director of Finance & Operations.

Audit Finding Reference: 2025-004 Improve Compliance and Controls Over Reporting Planned Corrective Action: This finding was identified by the Town’s independent auditor during the FY2025 single audit and was not issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or another federal agency. Before any remaining SLFRF Project and Expenditure Report is submitted, the preparer will reconcile current-period and cumulative expenditures to the general ledger and supporting grant schedule. A second finance official will review the reconciliation and proposed submission. The preparer and reviewer will sign and date the reconciliation, which will be retained with a copy of the submitted report. The same control will be used for a future material federal financial report when circumstances warrant.

Audit Finding Reference: 2025-003 Document Policies and Procedures Over Federal Awards Planned Corrective Action: This finding was identified by the Town’s independent auditor during the FY2025 single audit and was not issued by a federal awarding agency. The Assistant Town Administrator/Finance Director will prepare a concise federal awards procedures addendum addressing allowable costs, employee travel, cash management, procurement, conflicts of interest, and subrecipient monitoring. The addendum will incorporate existing Town policies by reference where they already address a requirement and will identify the responsible finance and departmental roles. Following management review and approval, the addendum will be provided to employees who administer federal awards and retained with the Town’s financial policies. It will be updated when federal requirements or the Town’s federal grant activity materially change. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: October 31, 2026 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Assistant Town Administrator/Finance Director, with oversight by the Town Administrator

Finding 2025-001 Identification of the federal program: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Assistance Listing: 93.926 Healthy Start Initiative (HSI) Pass-Through Grantor: Not applicable Award Number: H4903591 Award Period: 5/1/2025-3/31/2026 Summary of Finding: Four instances where the required Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reports were not submitted in SAM.gov timely in FY 2025. In addition, we noted for all six FFATA reports that were submitted in SAM.gov, there was no evidence of review and approval of the reports prior to submission. Under the HSI program, there were five subrecipients that had a total of six subawards (one new agreement and five amendments) in FY 2025. Total subrecipient’s costs are $750,822 in FY 2025. The total federal expenditures for the HSI program for FY 2025 were $1,052,118. Corrective Action Plan: Management has implemented a comprehensive corrective action plan to address the FFATA reporting deficiencies identified in the prior audit. Effective September 1, 2025, Corewell Health established a formal written FFATA reporting procedure that includes detailed requirements for identifying and reporting amended subawards throughout the award lifecycle. The procedure also requires documented supervisory review and approval of all FFATA submissions prior to filing to ensure completeness, accuracy, and compliance with federal reporting requirements. The procedure has been formally communicated to and implemented by the Office of Sponsored Programs and Research Finance teams. Ongoing training, monitoring, and periodic reviews of compliance with the procedure have been incorporated into operational processes to reinforce adherence to reporting requirements and to prevent recurrence. Although these corrective actions were implemented effective September 1, 2025, certain FFATA reporting deadlines applicable to the current audit period occurred before the implementation date. As a result, reports due prior to September 1, 2025 were not submitted within the required timeframe and did not include documented evidence of review before submission. Consequently, the finding was reported as a repeat finding in the current audit period. Management believes the corrective actions now in place adequately address the underlying control deficiencies and will support timely and compliant FFATA reporting going forward. Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action: Paula Schuiteman-Bishop, Vice President, Research Administration, Joe Fugitt, Senior Director, Research Administration, Development and Billing Integrity, Jodi Bohnhorst, Director, Research Development, Brandy Jurdzy, Manager, Research Sponsored Programs Timing of corrective action: September 1, 2025 and going forward.

Program: Public Housing Operating Fund AL Number: 14.850 Finding Number: 2025-002 Audit Finding (Copied & Pasted Directly from Auditor’s Report): Condition: During the audit we observed documentation showing employees recording a full 8 hour work day on time sheets while leaving work early. Management was instructed to cease tracking and compensate employees for full time anyway. Context: Employee(s) doing the following activities and still getting compensated for a full 8 hour work day; Employee(s) leaving their assigned worksite prior to the end of work day, employee(s) not calling off or leaving early for appointments without correctly calling off nor submitting the proper leave slips, employee(s) arriving late and leaving early daily. Cause: Management override and lack of monitoring/enforcement Criteria: According to 2 CFR 200.430 Compensation - personal services, charges to federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed Corrective Action to Be Taken: Reinstatement of accurate timekeeping with outlined policy and procedures including a discipline action plan for inaccurate payroll and leave slips submission. Strengthened controls and training; Support of management without overrides.

Condition: The Town incurred and charged expenditures totaling $30,826 to a FEMA Public Assistance project after the approved period of performance ended on October 31, 2024. The Town submitted a formal request to extend the period of performance on September 8, 2025. As of March 19, 2026, FEMA had communicated that the extension request has been denied. However, FEMA reimbursed the Town for the expenditures incurred after October 31, 2024. As of the date of this audit report, FEMA has not indicated whether the reimbursement will ultimately be retained or subject to recovery. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: The Town will implement a grant expenditure review checklist requiring pre-approval for any costs beyond the approved period; train all grant staff on compliance requirements; update internal controls. The Town will also document all correspondence whether that be by phone, email or written correspondence with FEMA when it comes to deadline extensions. The Town’s FEMA-funded recovery projects are complex, multi-year projects associated with rebuilding the community. Many projects have extended beyond their original completion dates due to factors including the pandemic, supply-chain and world trade impacts, weather, labor availability, construction timelines, and contract procurement requirements. In addition, frequent turnover among FEMA personnel assigned to the Town’s recovery projects has at times resulted in changes in points of contact, delays in responses, and extended processing times for approvals, determinations, and extension requests. These circumstances have contributed to the length and complexity of administering projects that already require significant coordination over multiple years. The Town has continued to work closely with FEMA throughout this process and has received approvals for extensions on recovery projects. In this instance, the expenditures identified in the finding occurred after the original October 31, 2024 period and were ultimately reimbursed by FEMA. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Aimee Beleu, Finance Director Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action will be implemented to take effect for the audit of the FY 2025-26 financial statements.
