Finding Number: 2024-009 Planned Corrective Action: The district will implement enhanced procedures for monitoring and tracking federal grant expenditures to ensure expenditures do not exceed awarded grant amounts and are properly reported. The Treasurer will review grant agreements, monitor available grant balances on a regular basis, and maintain supporting documentation for all federal expenditures and reporting to ensure compliance with federal requirements and accurate reporting on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. At the time of the creation of this corrective action plan all COVID-19 related grants have been totally expended. The district is required to provide the board, ODEW, and the Financial Planning Commission with monthly monitoring documents. Within these documents is contained a worksheet that requires the treasurer to list each fund balance for all accounts and explain any negative balances and whether a PCR has been created to eliminate negative balances. This policy forces the district to pay close attention to any grant funds that are carrying negative balances. Anticipated Completion Date: 05/31/2026 Responsible Contact Person: Ashley Miller

Prior Year Finding Number: 2023-005 Criteria: Pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, under Section 200.512(a), the County is required to complete and submit its Single Audit and related Data Collection Form within nine months of the end of its fiscal period (September 30) of the following year. Condition/Context The County's Single Audit and reporting package was delayed for the year ended December 31, 2023 beyond the nine-month due date. Effect: The County is not in compliance with certain requirements of the Uniform Guidance, including the Single Audit reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: Reconciliations and reports were not completed on a timely basis, and therefore, the completion and filing of its December 31, 2023 Single Audit and reporting package was not prioritized. Recommendation: We recommend that County management review its staffing and personnel responsibilities to prioritize the completion of its audit responsibilities within the prescribed timeframes. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The County plans to have information ready for the auditors to get 2024 done in a reasonable time frame. Between staffing and priorities, the County hopes to have cleared by the 2025 audit.

Corrective Action Planned: Management acknowledges the finding related to the lack of formal policies or procedures in place requiring independent review or approval of vaccine inventory reconciliations prior to submission of the Vaccine Order Form during the time of the audit. 1. Inventory Reconciliation Workflow and System Controls The State of Connecticut utilizes CT WiZ, a centralized vaccine ordering and supply management system. To maintain ordering privileges, the program enforces a strict regulatory safeguard: inventory must be fully reconciled every two weeks. Failure to complete this reconciliation triggers an automated, hard stop within CT WiZ, preventing any additional vaccine orders from being placed. To ensure absolute accuracy and data integrity, our practice executes a standardized, threepart reconciliation process that typically leverages a dual-provider verification model: • Part 1: Physical Count (Floor Staff): Clinical nurses on the floor conduct a manual, physical inventory of all vaccine doses, cross-referencing exact lot numbers and expiration dates. • Part 2: Electronic Health Record Alignment (Coordinator): The designated Vaccine Coordinator reviews the physical counts against the electronic Lot Manager log within Epic to identify and resolve any administrative discrepancies. • Part 3: State System Data Entry (Coordinator): The verified quantities are formally submitted into the CT WiZ portal to complete the biweekly cycle and clear the system for subsequent orders. Staffing Redundancy: While a single coordinator may occasionally manage all three steps if cross-covering the floor, the workflow is deliberately structured to divide tasks between floor nurses (physical counts) and site coordinators (via EMR reconciliation and CT WiZ entry). 2. Vaccine Oversight Team Vaccine operations are managed through a centralized leadership structure with site-specific accountability to ensure consistent oversight at clinic locations. Vaccine operations may be managed by a senior nurse practice manager, practice manager, lead nurse or a backup coordinator. This triad ensures continuous coverage, strict adherence to ordering schedules, and immediate troubleshooting for storage or inventory alerts. 3. Storage, Handling, and Annual Training Compliance In alignment with state oversight expectations and the strict guidelines governing CVP asset management, cold-chain integrity and proper handling are heavily protected. To mitigate risk and standardize knowledge across all care teams, the following educational requirements are mandated: • Mandatory Annual Training: All rostered nursing personnel - including core staff, float pool, and per diem nurses - are strictly required to complete annual training modules dedicated to CVP guidelines and CDC Storage and Handling. • Verification of Competency: Training must be completed through the official CDC TRAIN platform, and employees must submit their earned certificates of completion to clinical leadership to be maintained on file for audit readiness.

The agency proactively enacted rigorous internal controls and systemic enhancements for FY25 to ensure optimal oversight and adherence to federal guidelines. Management has addressed this recommendation by deploying a strict, comprehensive expense request process to ensure robust internal controls over all Other Than Personal Services (OTPS) expenditures. To ensure full compliance with 2 CFR 200.303 and 200.403, Finance has deployed the following enhancements to our accounts payable workflows: • Strict Electronic Approval Workflow: Finance has established a stringent review and approval protocol that requires direct involvement from Program Directors and Department Heads. All OTPS expenditures are now routed through a formalized electronic workflow, which mandates documented review and secure electronic signatures from authorized leadership prior to any payment processing. • System-Integrated Documentation: The new process strictly requires that all supporting documentation-including invoices, receipts, and evidence of allowability-be provided upfront. These documents are now uploaded and attached directly to the specific transaction within the accounting program, creating a permanent, easily accessible, and audit-ready trail for every federal charge. • Targeted Training and Oversight: To support this modernized workflow, Finance is providing targeted training to all staff responsible for initiating and approving transactions, ensuring a clear understanding of Uniform Guidance requirements. Furthermore, Finance leadership conducts periodic supervisory reviews directly within the accounting system to verify that all electronic approvals are captured and source documents are properly attached.

Management has reviewed the finding regarding the documentation of program eligibility. We recognize the importance of maintaining clear, audit-ready files that explicitly demonstrate case ownership and supervisory approval. To ensure full alignment with 2 CFR § 200.300, we have drafted and instituted the following corrective actions: • Updated Internal Signature Policy: We have drafted a strict internal policy requiring the primary case manager-and any other staff actively working on a case-to sign and date all required enrollment documents. This explicitly includes signing intake forms and completing the interpreter sections, where applicable. This policy ensures there is never any ambiguity regarding who is handling the case. • Mandatory Supervisory Review: To enforce this new standard, our internal policy now requires Program Managers and Directors to systematically review each individual case file. Leadership must verify that all required staff signatures, interpreter sign-offs, and eligibility approvals are fully documented before a client's enrollment is considered complete. • Standardized Case Coversheet: To immediately resolve the issue of identifying case handlers, we are implementing a standardized enrollment coversheet for all new files. This document clearly assigns the primary case manager on day one and requires a final supervisory signature to formally authorize the eligibility review. • Targeted Training and Spot-Checks: We are conducting immediate refresher training for all program staff to clarify exactly which signatures are required on each document. Furthermore, leadership will conduct routine, random spot-checks of active case files each month to verify that staff are consistently adhering to this policy in real-time. By formalizing our signature requirements and mandating director-level reviews, we are confident this updated workflow establishes clear accountability and fully resolves the finding.

Management has reviewed the finding and recommendations. We note that this item was identified as a repeat issue primarily due to the timing of the prior year's audit. Because the FY23 findings were delivered after FY24 had already concluded, the Organization did not have the opportunity to incorporate the auditors' feedback during the FY24 audited period. However, the Organization took immediate, proactive steps to deploy enhanced internal controls for FY25 to ensure continuous alignment with federal standards. To ensure strict adherence to 2 CFR § 200.302(a), we are actively implementing a more regular reconciliation process between government grant revenue claimed and actual revenue earned. As a key part of this initiative, the Organization has developed and deployed new internal financial tools designed to incorporate automation into our daily workflows. By utilizing these automated tools-such as standardized templates for recording cash receipts and systematically clearing Accounts Receivable-we have significantly enhanced the accuracy of our data entries and reduced the risk of manual misstatements. Our ongoing objective is to leverage these tools to establish clear, standardized documentation procedures, ensuring that all financial reports and claims are consistently generated from a reconciled general ledger. Management remains fully committed to dedicating the necessary time and resources to mature these financial controls and ensure robust compliance with federal regulations.

The District acknowledges the failure to submit the Single Audit data collection form for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required 30-day post-opinion deadline. The form was never submitted for that fiscal year. Additionally, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the District’s accounting records were not available until March 2026, causing the audit to extend well beyond the required nine-month completion deadline and resulting in further noncompliance with Single Audit reporting requirements. Current management has improved procedures related to the management of Single Audit compliance obligations. The District, in coordination with the third-party accounting firm and the external auditor, has established a compliance calendar that identifies all Single Audit submission deadlines and assigns responsibility for preparation, certification, and submission of the data collection form. Procedures have been implemented to ensure accounting records are available on a timely basis to support completion of the audit within the required nine-month window, starting with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. We plan to ensure that the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 data collection form is submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and that the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 Single Audit is completed and submitted within 30 days of the audit opinion date, and that all future Single Audit data collection forms are submitted in a timely manner.

The District acknowledges the material correction of an error to the District’s financial statements. This situation occurred due to a material weakness in internal controls over compliance with federal award requirements for the Education Stabilization Fund (CFDA 84.425U), passed through the Colorado Department of Education, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Specifically, the District lacked adequate segregation of duties over payroll and human resources processes, both of which were performed by a single employee without a secondary review. In addition, the District did not maintain adequate reimbursement request documentation or regularly reconcile ESSER grant expenditures to reimbursement requests, as required under 2 CFR 200.303. These conditions resulted in material audit 60 adjustments, significant audit delays, and the engagement of a third-party accounting firm to reconstruct grant records. Notwithstanding these control deficiencies, the District was in compliance with allowable activities, allowable costs, and cash management requirements, as allowable costs exceeded the amounts requested for reimbursement. Current management has improved procedures related to the oversight of federal grant compliance and payroll processes. The District has engaged a third-party accounting firm and hired new staff to assist with grants reconciliation, reimbursement request preparation, and internal controls over federal awards. A secondary review process has been established for payroll and human resources transactions to ensure that no single employee has unchecked control over these functions. Grant reconciliation responsibilities have been reassigned to incorporate segregation of duties, and a defined schedule for monthly ESSER reconciliations and reimbursement submissions has been implemented. We plan to have all ESSER grant activity fully reconciled, reimbursement documentation complete and available for review, and monthly reconciliation and secondary review procedures operational and documented for all applicable federal grant programs prior to the start of the audit process. Estimated date of implementation of the corrective action plan: June 30, 2026 Person responsible for implementation of the corrective action plan: Dr. Kirk Henwood
