Finding ref number: 2024-001 Finding caption: The City did not have adequate internal controls and did not comply with federal suspension and debarment requirements. Name, address, and telephone of City contact person: Corrine Schmid, 609 8th St Hoquiam, WA 98550, 360-538-3969 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: Historically the City has complied with the federal suspension and debarment requirements through (1) ensuring each of its direct award and subrecipient contracts contain a clause or condition in the award contracts that states the contractor or subrecipient is not suspended or debarred, (2) requesting a certification to that effect, or (3) checking the SAM system to insure the contractor was not debarred or suspended. In this situation, the city procured equipment from a vendor under a "piggy-back" agreement under which debarment and suspension verification had been completed by another state agency. Regardless of the isolated nature of this incident, the City’s management remains committed to ensure this situation does not re-occur going forward, and as a result has or will be implementing the following corrective actions: • To the very limited extent disbarment/suspension language does not appear in contracts for goods or services being funded through federal funds, expenditures for all projects involving purchases of goods and services will have grant administration staff who will verify disbarment/suspension status prior to the entering into contracts or the disbursement of funds. • In the cases of piggy-back agreements, grant administration staff will verify disbarment/suspension requirements have been met prior to payments for goods or services being approved that are funded with federal funds. We thank the SAO staff for identifying this issue and bringing it to our attention. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: September 2025

The Organization acknowledges the finding and appreciates the clarifications regarding the expiration of the temporary waiver of the “credit not otherwise available” requirements. Upon identification of this issue, we conducted a full review of all loans originated after June 30, 2022. As a result we have retrofitted all loan files issued after the waiver expired to include appropriate documentation demonstrating that credit was not otherwise available on terms and conditions that would permit the completion or successful operation of the financed activity. Management has also implemented the following preventive measures going forward: • All new loan reports include a section on “credit not otherwise available” for loan committee members to review. • The Organization will annually review EDA guidance and policy changes to ensure that internal documentation practices remain aligned with current federal requirements.

Criteria: Federal and state grant agreements typically require recipients to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. These include accurate and timely submission of required reports; proper documentation and retention of supporting records and review and approval processes to ensure compliance and accuracy. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Containment: To prevent miscoding of expenses, we implemented a change in the prior fiscal year to allocate all CACFP-related expenses to a distinct program code. This ensures that CACFP costs are tracked independently and not charged to direct programs. Root Cause Reconciliation of the reimbursement from USDA can vary on the reimbursement of the cost of food. Where there is less cost than reimbursement we are reconciling the overage to staff wages of kitchen staff and supplies for the kitchen at the end of the year instead of monthly. Action Taken Reconciliation of the monthly reimbursement amount from CACFP to the food expenses will be reviewed each month by the 10th (for the following month) and reconciliation to the appropriate programs will be journal entries and included in the monthly review of revenue and expenses.

To further avoid discrepancies, BFCOG will move to a semi-annual administrative expense reimbursement cycle to align with the semi-annual reporting periods. By doing this instead of only once at year's end, we will lessen the chance of those expenses being missed in reporting. 9.
