Recommendation: We recommend the City enhance its internal control by implementing policies and procedures to track wage rate requirements compliance, and ensure that all certified payrolls and supporting wage-rate documentation are retained. Views of Responsible Officials: Management concurs with the finding. The City of Adelanto experienced higher than expected staff turnover in the finance department during the timeframe noted in this audit, which caused a backlog in audit preparation and submission, along with certain financial controls implementation interruption. At the time of this audit publishing, Management believes that implementation of such procedures is in compliance with the noted recommendation. Persons Responsible for Corrective Action: City Finance Staff (various) City Department Heads applying for grant funding (various) City Project Managers (various) Anticipated Completion Date for Corrective Action: Corrective action has been immediately implemented in response to the auditors’ recommendation. As financial reporting is still in the process of becoming current, the City anticipates finding to be removed in future fiscal years.

Corrective Action Plan: The Utility Commission General Manager or Communications System Supervisor will review the quarterly progress reports prepared by someone else. Section II of the Project Status Report instructions states “Answer each question to the best of your ability.” The work orders do not include all costs related to labor benefits and taxes, and also the electronics and customer premise equipment associated with the projects. These costs are calculated and added in when the project is completed and is being closed out. Estimating these items for the quarterly Project Status Report is providing the project costs spent through the respective quarter to the best of our ability due to the limitations of the work order reporting process. Planned Completion Date for the Corrective Action: On-going Contact Persons Responsible for the Corrective Action Plan: The following Reedsburg Utility staff members are responsible for items outlined above in the Corrective Action Plan: • Brett Schuppner, Reedsburg Utility General Manager • Ken Las, Communications System Supervisor

2023-006 Internal Controls and Compliance over Special Tests and Provisions – Reasonable Rental Rates (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program 2023 Funding Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures to ensure that controls related to special tests and provisions – reasonable rental rates are consistently implemented including maintaining documentation of the verification of rental reasonableness in the program participant's file. Corrective Action: In response to the findings from the 2023 audit regarding the annual requirement for rent reasonableness, we developed the following action plan to ensure compliance with HUD regulations: 1. Annual Schedule: We established that annual rent reasonableness assessments for Temenos TCDC would be conducted each January, as required by HUD. This included comprehensive assessments for all scatter site properties. 2. Staff Reminders: A systematic reminder protocol was implemented for all staff involved in the rent reasonableness process. This included: 1. Calendar alerts 2. Email notifications 3. Regular team meetings to discuss timelines and responsibilities 3. Monitoring and Compliance: The Executive Director (ED) and Director of Operations closely monitored the compliance process to ensure assessments were completed accurately and on time. By implementing this action plan, Temenos TCDC aimed to address the 2023 audit findings effectively and ensure compliance with HUD's annual rent reasonableness requirements, including assessments for all TCDC site properties. Responsible Parties: Sandra Robicheaux – ED Ramona Edwards – Property Manager Wanda Williams – Case Manager Damita Gardner – Case Manager Terence Gomes – Case Manager Date to be Corrected: Implemented in January of 2025

2023-005 Compliance and Internal Controls over Program Income (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program 2023 Funding Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures to ensure that controls related to program income are consistently implemented. In addition, documentation should be included in each participant's files to support income calculations and the participant's share of rent payable to the program. Corrective Action: We would like to clarify our approach to income documentation within client files: 1. Income Documentation: While not all clients have income, we will ensure that clients without income provide a zero-income affidavit (also known as a non-income affidavit) to document their status. 2. Stabilized Case Management: Our current case managers have been with Temenos CDC (TCDC) for over a year, providing stability and experience in verifying client income. 3. Policy and Procedure Updates: Recent updates to our policies and procedures have introduced standardized forms that clearly differentiate between households with income and those without. 1. Households with income will include the mandatory TCDC income calculation sheet. 2. Households without income will be required to submit the zero-income affidavit. 4. File Checklists: We have created file checklists to ensure uniformity across all client files, enhancing our documentation process. 5. Annual Audits: All client files will be audited by a supervisor at least once a year to ensure compliance with our policies. 6. HMIS Training: Case managers are required to complete mandatory HMIS training, which supports effective compliance in file management and income verification. These measures are designed to strengthen our documentation practices and ensure compliance with audit requirements.

2023-004 Compliance and Internal Controls over Earmarking (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program Contract No. TX0425L6E002106 Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures to ensure that controls related to earmarking are consistently implemented which should include reconciling the administrative costs to all drawn funds on individual grants. Corrective Action: In response to the findings from the 2023 audit, we are implementing several corrective actions to enhance our financial management processes, ensuring compliance and preventing future discrepancies. 1. Monthly Reporting: The Director of Operations is required to send monthly ELLOC (HUD account balances) reports to both Your Part Time Controller (YPTC) and the Executive Director (ED). This ensures transparent tracking of funds. 2. Expenditure Budgets: Monthly expenditure budgets have been established for each grant to maximize the use of grant funds and prevent shortages in administrative expenditures. 3. Regular Reviews: Balances are reviewed monthly in conjunction with drawdown preparations. YPTC will provide recommendations for any necessary adjustments to expenditures, which will be communicated to the ED during monthly drawdown closeouts. 4. Budget Adjustments: For the 2025 NOFO budgets, adjustments will be made to align with the grant history from the past three years. This historical analysis highlights areas of both funding shortages and overages, allowing for more accurate future budgeting. 5. HUD Notification: Notifications for adjustments to the 2024 NOFO will be sent to HUD to prevent the recurrence of findings in the upcoming 2024 audit. Through these measures, we aim to strengthen our financial oversight and ensure compliance with HUD requirements.

2023-003 Compliance and Internal Controls over Matching (Material Weakness) Internal Controls over Period of Performance and Earmarking (Material Weakness) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 14.267 – Continuum of Care Program 2023 Funding Recommendation: We recommend that part of the review process for payroll include verification that the cost charged to the grant does not exceed the grant hours reported on employee timesheet. Corrective Action: In response to the first finding, we have implemented a comprehensive payroll review process that addresses both the initial concern and the subsequent finding. The new payroll process that has been established will ensure that costs charged to the grant do not exceed the hours reported on employee timesheets, effectively eliminating both issues: Responsible Parties: Sandra Robicheaux – Executive Director Claudia Dixon – CFO Tyler Starkel - YPTC Date to be Corrected: Implementation for above changes went into effect 6/01/2024

The following outlines our updated procurement policy: 1. Compliance with Standards: All procurement of property (goods, supplies, or equipment) and services must adhere to the standards of conduct and conflict-of-interest requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.317 and 200.318. 2. Micro Purchases (Under $9,999): Temenos CDC (TCDC) will document the reasonableness of costs for all micro purchases to ensure appropriate spending practices. 3. Small Purchases ($10,000 and above): For small purchases exceeding $10,000, TCDC will solicit a minimum of three bids for services to promote competitive pricing. 4. Vendor Vetting: 1. All new vendors will be vetted through the SAM (System for Award Management) Department prior to the initiation of services. 2. Continuous service providers will be subject to an annual vetting process to ensure ongoing compliance and quality. These measures are designed to reinforce our commitment to transparency, accountability, and compliance with HUD requirements.

Finding 2023-001 Name of Contact Person: Debra Hansen, Accounting Manager – Grants and Gifts Corrective Action Plan: In December 2022, changes were made to the MCHS lab ordering process and a new report was created to track employee COVID test results. This report reflected two rows of information for each individual employee tested. One for the test order and a second for the test result. Each row was counted and costed as two separate employee tests and therefore a portion of the cost for employee COVID tests was accidentally doubled and overstated in the portal for Period 5. However, although these expenses were overstated by $49,000, the grant was not overcharged as these questioned costs would be fully replaceable by an allowable amount of unused eligible lost revenues of approximately $109,516,000. Management will implement a procedure that requires a second level review of expenditures reported to ensure accuracy of reimbursement claimed for federal- and state-funded expenditures.Completion Date: September 30, 2024

Bernard Robinson & Company, L.L.P. 1501 Highwoods Blvd., Suite 300 Post Office Box 19608 Greensboro, North Carolina 27419-9608 The findings for the year ended December 31, 2023 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS - Financial Statement Audit and Federal Award Program Audits Finding 2023-001 - U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Mortgage Insurance Rental and Cooperative Housing for Moderate Income Families and Elderly, Market Interest Rate (Sections 221d(3) and (4) Multifamily - Market Rate Housing), CFDA #14.135 Recommendation: That management review/enhance its accounting and internal control procedures to ensure that all key accounts are reconciled and reviewed with supporting evidence of such review.

2023-001 REPORTING - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The auditee did not have any documented or implemented internal controls over the review of federal program reporting requirements. Reports were prepared and submitted without documentation of supervisory review or verification of accuracy and completeness. Management did not design or implement procedures to review reports prior to submission, relying solely on the preparer's knowledge without formal oversight. Recommendation We recommend that all grant reports are reviewed by a person independent of the preparer who has knowledge of the grant requirements. This review should include comparing the amounts reported to detailed support for accuracy. We also recommend the Authority review its recordkeeping procedures for documentation related to grant reporting. There should be a process in place to ensure all required documentation is maintained and filed in an orderly system that allows the Authority to locate and provide documentation when required. Management Response In general, management agrees with the finding. It should be noted that internal controls for supervisory review of reporting requirements were in place but were not written controls or processes. Reporting for the CDBG Program is accomplished through the preparation of the annual Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Repo11 CAPER). Written policies and procedures for the CAPER have been developed. Reporting for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program is accomplished through an online reporting system of the U.S. Treasury and by email to the Pennsylvania Human Services Department. Written policies and procedures have been developed.
