Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services State Department/Agency: Kansas Department of Children and Families Federal Program Name: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Assistance Listing Number: 93.558 Award Number: 2301KSTANF, 2401KSTANF, and 2501KSTANF Period: October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2025 Compliance Requirement: Reporting - Federal Funding Accounting and Transparency Act (FFATA) Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance, Other Matters Condition: Kansas Department of Children and Families (Department) was unable to provide FFATA reports for various subawards. Recommendation: We recommend that the Kansas Department of Children and Families implement procedures to identify all subawards subject to Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reporting requirements, including subawards passed through to both in‑state and out‑of‑state subrecipients. DCF should provide training to relevant staff on FFATA requirements and establish a review process to ensure required FFATA reports are submitted accurately and timely for all applicable subaward. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Department for Children and Families (DCF) will update FFATA reporting procedures to include second-tier FFATA reporting for subawards given by other subrecipient Kansas state agencies awarded by an Interagency Agreement. The Interagency Agreement template for subrecipients will be updated to include language detailing any possible subawards given by other state agencies. The subrecipient state agency will determine if the relationship is a subrecipient, vendor or beneficiary for funds passed through to other organizations. If federal funds passed through have a subrecipient relationship, then the other state agency will notify the DCF of subaward amount. DCF staff will provide the other state agency with the federal portion for each subaward and FFATA reporting forms needing completed. The other state agency will complete the FFATA reporting forms for each subaward receiving $30,000 or more federal funds and provide those forms to DCF. DCF staff will submit accurately and timely the FFATA requirements for each subaward given by another subrecipient Kansas state agency.

As a result, required information was not reported in SAM.gov by the last day of the month following the month in which the subaward obligation occurred. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement policies and procedures to ensure compliance with FFATA reporting requirements. This should include identifying all federal awards and subawards subject to FFATA, establishing a process to track reporting deadlines, and providing training to personnel responsible for grant administration to ensure FFATA reports are submitted timely and accurately in SAM.gov. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Currently, all sub awardee payments are being processed by KDHE; however, moving forward, the fiscal analyst will work with the program to make sure that they have the needed information if another state agency is going to be processing the payments on KDHE’s behalf. Moving forward, the fiscal analyst will contact the program to get amounts for any subrecipient agreements/awards, which KDHE will not be the agency processing the payments for, so that any required FFATA reporting can be submitted. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Shelley Russell, Fiscal Management Public Services Executive IV and Danette Cox, Fiscal Analyst Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Immediately. New processes will be used if another state agency will be processing the payments on KDHE’s behalf.

FINDING 2025-006 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) - Period of Performance Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls to ensure transactions made with the Special Education Grant funding occurred within the appropriate period of performance. Claims for the Special Education programs were paid without an appropriate level of review or oversight to ensure the expenditures charged to each grant were within the allowed time frame.

Information on the federal program: Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster, Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Federal Agency: Department of Agriculture Federal Programs: Child Nutrition Cluster Assistance Listings Numbers: 10.553, 10.555 Federal Award Numbers and Years (or Other Identifying Numbers): FY2024, FY2025 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirements: Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Audit Finding: Material Weakness, Qualified Opinion Condition: The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure compliance with the procurement and suspension and debarment requirements. The School Corporation had not designed or implemented adequate policies or procedures to ensure that proper procurement procedures for small purchase and simplified acquisition procurement thresholds were followed. Context: Procurement Federal regulations allow for informal procurement methods when the value of the procurement for property or services does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, which is set at $250,000 unless a lower, more restrictive threshold is set by a non-Federal entity. As Indiana Code has set a more restrictive threshold of $150,000, informal procurement methods are permitted when the value of the procurement does not exceed $150,000. This informal process allows for methods other than the formal bid process. The informal process is divided between two methods based on thresholds. Micropurchases, typically for those purchases $10,000 or under, and small purchase procedures for those purchases above the micro-purchase threshold, but below the simplified acquisition threshold. Micropurchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive price rate quotations. If small purchase procedures are used, then price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources. The School Corporation did not review procurements done by the food service management company to ensure that proper procurement policies were followed. The School Corporation did not ensure that the food service management company did not use suspended or debarred vendors. During the audit period, we noted two small purchases for which the School Corporation did not have evidence of obtaining multiple quotes or documented rationale for selecting the vendor. Only the final invoice, purchase order, and quote from the selected vendor were available. During fiscal year 2024, we noted that for one of the three vendors tested, the correct procurement method was not followed. Purchases from the vendor were in excess of $150,000 during the fiscal year, requiring the simplified acquisition procurement process; however, the School Corporation applied the small purchase procurement process. The purchase was for equipment at two different buildings. The School Corporation issued two requests for quotes, one for each school, and treated them as separate procurements. However, as the purchases were similar in nature, the requests for quotes were dated the same day and sent to the same vendor, this should have been treated as one procurement in aggregate. The School Corporation did not have support for public advertisement, requests for formal sealed bids, or formal documentation for the basis of award. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were systemic issues throughout the audit period. Suspension and Debarment Prior to entering into subawards and covered transactions with federal award funds, recipients are required to verify that such contractors and subrecipients are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded. “Covered transactions” include but are not limited to contracts for goods and services awarded under a non-procurement transaction (i.e., grant agreement) that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000. The verification is to be done by checking the SAMs exclusions, collecting a certification from that vendor, or adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that vendor. During the audit period, we noted two vendors out of three that were sampled, over the $25,000 suspension and debarment threshold for which the School Corporation did not have evidence of a suspension and debarment check. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and has prepared a corrective action plan. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Management will review procurements done by the food service management company. Management will also ensure that appropriate procurement processes are followed for all future purchases and suspension and debarment checks are completed for purchases over $25,000. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: The Treasurer will be responsible for implementing the corrective action plan, which will go into effect immediately.

FINDING 2025-004 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Jamesi Lemon Contact Phone Number and Email Address: jlemon@lakelandlakers.net Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The expenditures referenced in the finding were expended from the American Rescue Plan Special Education grant funds which were fully expended during the audit period. All future expenditures triggering procurement and suspension and debarment requirements will include implementing the following procurement policies. Reference Procurement Standards 2 CFR 200.318 Districts may not enter into contracts with entities that have been suspended or debarred from participating in contracts with federal funds. For contracts over $25,000, districts must verify a contractor is not excluded or disqualified. Contractors must be verified in one of three ways: 1. Checking the System for Award Management (SAM) (www.SAM.gov) 2. Collecting a certificate from that contractor. 3. Adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that contractor. (Recommended) **Proper verification and documentation must be sent to the LEA for audit purposes. Methods of Procurement Where specific EDGAR/UG thresholds apply, Districts must meet baseline requirements for procurement. If State or local rules have more restrictive thresholds, the most restrictive rule must be followed. Informal Procurement Procedures 1. Micro-purchase (0-$50,000) INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS 36 Lakeland School Corporation 0825 E 075 N, LaGrange IN 46761 Phone: (260) 499 - 2400 Fax: (260) 463 - 4800 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Educating and preparing ALL students for career & life success! Dekalb County Eastern CSD has self-certified micro-purchases for up to $50,000 Micro-purchases may be awarded without soliciting competitive quotes if the district considers the price to be reasonable. Quotes must be attached to the invoice/checks for proper documentation and retained by the LEA. 2. Small Purchase ($50,000 – $150,000) Three quotes are required prior to purchase unless the purchase comes from a “Sole Source” vendor. Small purchases are required to be ordered under a purchase order unless in an emergency. Additional quotes must be presented along with the purchase order prior to being approved by the LEA. Formal Procurement Procedures 1. Sealed Bids (above $150,000) Bids must be solicited from an adequate number of suppliers, providing them with sufficient response time prior to the opening of the bids. Proper advertisement and procedures must be followed per IC 5-22 and corresponding documentation must be presented to the LEA prior to any final approval or purchases being made. 2. Competitive Proposals (above $150,000) The Request for Proposal method is used for procurements in which factors other than cost play a significant role. Per IC 5-22-9, when a purchasing agent makes a written determination that the use of competitive sealed bidding is either not practicable or not advantageous to the governmental body, the purchasing agent may award a contract using this procedure instead of competitive sealed bidding. This provides a formal process for the procurement of goods and/or services for which price is not the sole factor in the selection of a vendor or vendors. Proper advertisement and procedures must be followed per IC 5- 22 and corresponding documentation must be presented to the LEA prior to any final approval or purchases being made.

COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN MUNICIPALITY OF NARANJITO FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 Audit Report: Reports on Compliance and Internal Control in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards and 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards Audit Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Fiscal Year: 2024-2025 Principal Executive: Hon. Orlando Ortíz Chevres - Mayor Contact Person: Mrs. Meyleen Hernández, Finance Director Phone: (787) 869 – 2200 Finding Reference Number: 2025-003 Federal Award: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (Assistance Listing No. 21.027) Compliance Requirement: Reporting (L) Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency (SD), Instance of Noncompliance (NC) Description of Finding: In our Reporting Test, we evaluated the Project and Expenditure Report submitted to the U.S. Department of Treasury during fiscal year 2024-2025. During our audit procedures, we identified differences between the amounts reported as current period expenditures, and the amounts recognized in the accounting system. Additionally, during the fiscal year the Municipality received new funds called Service of Excellence to Citizens also related to the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Program. This allocation was granted through the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority. In our Reporting Test, we evaluated six (6) reports and could not validate their submission. Auditor’s Recommendations: We recommend training for the authorized personnel who administer the program, to better understand the reporting requirements and prepare timely reports. The Municipality should establish a monitoring system to ensure compliance with requirements established by the passthrough agency such as: submitting the reports during the required time frame and where the fund expenses will be reported as incurred. This will ensure better control of the program. Corrective Action: The authorized personnel understand the reporting requirements. We are in the process of training additional personnel to have more resources to comply with all reporting requirements. The Finance Department is working with external consultants to address this situation, and be able to comply with all reports as required. Name of Contact Person: Meyleen Hernández Rivera, Finance Director Projected Completion Date: June 30, 2026
