Finding #2022-002 ? Grant Program: Department of Transportation Airport Improvement Program ? Assistance Listing #20.106 The Great Falls International Airport Authority agrees with the audit recommendations. This was a unique program that unlike other grants allowed us to be reimbursed for operating expenses and likely will never be seen again. The Authority normally receives grants for capital projects each year through the Airport Improvement Program (?AIP?). The Airport employee?s professional construction managers for these projects, such that the normal process is that a contractor invoice is submitted, reviewed and recommended for payment by our construction manager and then submitted for reimbursement from AIP. The COVID relief grants used to reimburse operating costs did not follow this normal process and controls. We will correct the issue identified by re-structuring the process of handling and reconciliation of the grant funds. Airport Accountant, Chayleen Person, will be the one handling the federal funding reimbursement requests. Actions, responsible individuals, and anticipated completion date: - Airport Accountant, Chayleen Person, will handle the reimbursement requests and the review of the federal funding. - Airport Accountant, Chayleen Person, will reconcile these funds monthly to ensure the federal account matches our GL account.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: CSS requires its subrecipients to submit their financial and progress program reports five days after the end of the reporting period. This is done so that CSS can review the underlying documentation in those reports to ensure that proper payments are made to the subrecipients and, in turn, proper and timely reports are filed by CSS with the State of New York. There are instances when, because of delays in receipt of information from the subrecipients, or information from the subrecipients needs to be revised, reports are submitted late to the State of New York. CSS notifies the State of New York when reports will be submitted late. In addition, CSS is working with its subrecipients to improve their reporting procedures, as well as the timeliness and accuracy of their reports. This will result in CSS improving the timeliness of its reporting to the State of New York.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE Freeman School District No. 358 September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022 This schedule presents the corrective action planned by the District for findings reported in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2022-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with wage rate requirements. Name, address, and telephone of the District contact person: Alan Steinolfson, Director of Fiscal & Administrative Services S. 15001 Jackson Road Rockford, WA 99030 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: As mentioned previously in this finding, the District Management relied upon the contracted Project Manager & company to ensure all applicable laws were followed. The original contract mentioned local prevailing wage, which is higher than federal prevailing wages; the district and the project manager considered this to be compliant. The District used the funds to replace the middle school HVAC unit, which was a recommended use of funds by WA OSPI. As a recipient of the funds and using the funds as suggested, the District was never made aware of the requirement to collect weekly, certified payroll reports from the contractor. Should the district utilize Federal Funds for a future construction project, district management will work with an experienced Project Manager in federal funds; in addition, the Director of Fiscal of Freeman will collect weekly certified payrolls from the construction company. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: August 31, 2023

2022-001 Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Federal program information: Funding agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Title: Emergency Rental Assistance Program Assistance Listing number: 21.023 Award year: 2022 Condition: Pursuant to our testing of disbursements and internal controls over disbursements, Wipfli LLP noted the following control deficiency and noncompliance: Eight of the 42 cash disbursements selected for testing were incorrect. These all related to utility payments, where the current portion due was paid out twice. The Authority submitted the same cost twice for reimbursement totaling $691 of the invoices tested. From our sample of 42 disbursements, we examined 8 utility payments consisting of $7,689. Total utility payments for the grant were $283,105. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Recommendation: Wipfli recommends the Authority provide proper training and supervision over employees responsible for cash disbursements to ensure federal grant expenditures are allowable. Corrective Action Plan: CHA is in the process of restructuring our Finance department. In this process we will be updating our finance policies to stress/identify our areas of material weakness so they align and address our current audit findings and to eliminate any future findings. We will be transferring job titles and duties with current in-house personnel that clearly states job functions and responsibilities that best fits each staff persons unique skill set and aptitude. Once restructuring of our Finance department is completed (30-60 days) moving forward this will address our areas of material weakness.

Name of Responsible Individual: Brenda Willis - Senior Director of Financial Grants and Contracts Corrective Action: Workday implementation challenges and the September cyberattack caused delays in allocating personnel earnings to grants during the first half of the fiscal year. As a result, certificates were not generated for employees with unallocated earnings for the first six-month reporting period. Certificates were issued on an ad-hoc basis as earnings were allocated. This issue was resolved for the second half of the fiscal year. To further address this finding, Grants and Contracts will adjust the effort certification process to expand the pool of secondary approvers, improve the user interface, and allow for easier reassignments of certificates. In addition, a training module will be developed to assist employees during their review. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2023
