Management acknowledges the finding related to the timing of federal cash drawdowns. The January 2025 drawdowns occurred during a period of significant uncertainty regarding federal funding and potential changes in federal funding availability. Based upon guidance and recommendations received from the Michigan Primary Care Association during this period, the Organization drew available federal funding to mitigate the potential risk of disruption in access to awarded funds. This action was specific to the circumstances and federal funding environment that existed during 2025 and was not the Organization's standard cash management practice. Management recognizes the importance of ensuring that federal drawdowns are aligned with immediate cash requirements and applicable federal cash management requirements. The Organization has subsequently strengthened its federal drawdown procedures. Grant drawdowns are reconciled to eligible expenditures and the general ledger, supporting documentation is maintained electronically, and additional management review has been incorporated into the process. The Chief Financial Officer will continue monitoring federal cash management procedures to ensure future drawdowns are appropriately supported, documented, and timed in accordance with applicable federal requirements.

The Authority acknowledges the deficiencies identified in the Public Housing Capital Fund Program. The majority of the questioned costs originated before 2024 under prior management. The primary issue was the failure to identify and document the specific property to which each disbursement related. The Authority will strengthen its Capital Fund cash management procedures, including property-level coding and supporting documentation for each disbursement, periodic reconciliation of grant drawdowns to eligible expenditures by property, and supervisory review. Staff will be trained on these procedures to ensure compliance with federal regulations. Dexter Brady, Interim Executive Director, is the responsible official and this will be completed by December 31, 2026.

Management Response: Management will formalize procedures requiring documented review and approval of each cash drawdown or reimbursement submission before submission. The preparer, which is intended to be someone from management will work with the outsourced accounting firm to assemble the supporting documentation, including the reimbursement request or drawdown support, related cost detail, and any applicable reconciliations. The Organization intends 0to have either the head of Finance or CEO review the submission for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with award requirements, and will document approval through sign-off, email approval, or other retained evidence prior to submission. Evidence of review and approval will be maintained with the supporting documentation for each submission. Management and the outsourced accounting firm will monitor compliance with this process through periodic review of grant submission files.

2025-001 – Cash Management Corrective action plan: 1. Remittance of $116,558.82 to the Department of Health and Human Services Payment Management System. Completed September 21, 2026. 2. Adopt a written cash management and drawdown procedure as an amendment to NFEAIE’s Financial Management Policies and Procedures Manual, requiring that each request be limited to disbursements expected within a defined period not to exceed 45 days, that the request identify the disbursements it supports, that the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) approve the request before submission, that the request and its supporting schedule be retained in the award file, and that any direction from an awarding agency to draw on a different schedule, or any award term authorizing a different payment basis, be documented in writing and retained in the award file. 3. Amend the manual to assign the CFO responsibility for computing interest earned on federal advances not less than semiannually, to prescribe the allocation of interest between federal and non-federal funds where accounts are commingled, to apply the $500 annual retention threshold, to require the amount payable to the federal government to be recorded in the period earned, and to require remittance through the Payment Management System. Interest on federal advances is currently being accrued as a payable in the period earned, as reflected in journal entry JE-INT-2026H1 recorded at June 30, 2026, and will continue to be recorded on at least a semi-annual basis. 4. Evaluate holding federal advances in a separate account so that an allocation between federal and non-federal funds is not required, and implement if operationally feasible. 5. Present both procedures to the Finance Committee and the Board of Directors for adoption at the Board's fourth quarter 2026 meeting. Personnel responsible for corrective action: Nicholas Cunningham, CFO Estimated corrective action completion date: December 31, 2026

2025-001: Cash Management: Federal Funds Drawn Down for Indirect Costs not yet Liquidated – Research and Development Cluster Condition During testing of cash management and indirect cost allocations, it was noted that approximately $900,000 in costs included in the Institute's indirect cost pool rem...
2025-001: Cash Management: Federal Funds Drawn Down for Indirect Costs not yet Liquidated – Research and Development Cluster Condition During testing of cash management and indirect cost allocations, it was noted that approximately $900,000 in costs included in the Institute's indirect cost pool remained recorded in accounts payable and had not been disbursed (liquidated) as of December 31, 2025. Despite these costs not yet being paid, the related federal funds had already been drawn down from the awarding agency. Criteria 2 CFR 200.305(b) requires non-federal entities operating under the advance payment method to minimize the time elapsing between the drawdown of federal funds and the disbursement of those funds for program purposes, and to limit draws to amounts needed for immediate cash requirements. Costs recorded in accounts payable but not yet paid do not represent a disbursement and therefore do not constitute an immediate cash need sufficient to support a drawdown. Additionally, 2 CFR 200.1 and 2 CFR 200.413/200.414 contemplate that costs included in the indirect cost pool and allocated to federal awards should reflect costs that are allowable, allocable, and appropriately recognized in the period in which they are incurred and settled in accordance with the Institute's established accounting practices and cash management controls. Cause The Institute's process for requesting federal drawdowns is based on costs recorded on an accrual basis (i.e., invoices entered into accounts payable and included in the indirect cost pool) rather than on the actual disbursement date. As a result, drawdown requests were not reconciled to actual cash outlays, allowing draws to occur before the related liabilities were paid. Effect The Institute drew down federal cash in advance of its immediate cash needs, resulting in excess federal funds on hand for a period during which $900,000 in related costs remained unpaid. This condition represents a noncompliance with federal cash management requirements and may expose the Institute to: • Liability for interest owed to the federal government under the Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA) for the period the funds were held prior to disbursement; • Questioned costs to the extent the $900,000 was allocated through the indirect cost rate prior to liquidation; and • A control deficiency in the reconciliation between the accounts payable subledger, indirect cost pool, and cash drawdown requests. Recommendation We recommend that the Institute: 1. Revise its drawdown procedures so that federal cash requests are tied to actual disbursement dates rather than accrual/invoice entry into accounts payable; 2. Implement a monthly reconciliation between drawdown requests, the accounts payable aging report, and amounts included in the indirect cost pool; 3. Evaluate whether the $900,000 should be removed from the indirect cost pool for the affected period until liquidated, and adjust the indirect cost rate calculation accordingly if required; 4. Calculate potential interest liability under CMIA for the period excess federal cash was held and remit if applicable; and 5. Document and implement written cash management policies and procedures addressing the timing of drawdowns relative to disbursement. Management Response Management acknowledges the finding and the management staff of the Institute take seriously the federal compliance requirements that apply to drawing funds from the DHHS Payment Management System. The Institute recognizes that it has drawn down excess funds. The Institute plans to improve policies and procedures for cash management in 2026 that will ensure the calculation for allowable cash draw for actual immediate cash needs is complete and accurate. Action Taken Scintillon plans to improve policies and procedures for cash management in 2026 that will ensure the calculation for allowable cash draw for actual immediate cash needs is complete and accurate.

2025-001 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control and Compliance over Major Programs Funding Agency: Department of Defense ALN: 12.002 Recommendation: JSP recommends the Organization strengthen internal controls over cash management by establishing formal payment processing timelines, implementing monitoring procedures to track outstanding reimbursement requests, and conducting supervisory reviews to ensure subrecipient payments are made promptly. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Taylor McEachern, Accounting Manager The EDC agrees with the findings. Management acknowledges that reimbursement payments to subrecipients were not consistently made within 30 calendar days of receipt of the payment request as required by 2 CFR 200.305(b)(3) and agrees that internal controls over cash management should be strengthened. Management notes that during the audit period the EDC experienced delays in receiving payments from the federal awarding agencies associated with this and other grants, which contributed to the condition; management is taking action to ensure that the EDC’s cash-flow timing does not affect the timeliness of subrecipient reimbursements going forward. To correct the conditions, management will implement the following: • Establish formal, written payment processing timelines governing the review and disbursement of subrecipient reimbursement requests, with a defined internal deadline that ensures payment within the 30-calendar-day requirement. • Implement monitoring procedures to log and track all outstanding reimbursement requests from date of receipt through payment, so that requests approaching the deadline are flagged and prioritized. • Conduct periodic supervisory reviews of the payment log to confirm requests are being processed timely and to identify and resolve any delays. • Monitor the timing of drawdowns and reimbursements from the federal awarding agencies and, where recurring delays affect the EDC’s ability to pay subrecipients timely, have an action plan to process the payments within the 30-calendar-day requirement. The Accounting Manager will be overseeing the payment tracking process and report monthly to the C&I Director and Grant Manager to reinforce accountability for timely disbursement Anticipated completion date: September 2026

There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: Management concurs with the finding. The Organization acknowledges that reimbursement requests were not consistently supported by reconciliations to actual expenditures and that existing review procedures did not provide sufficient assurance that draw requests complied with federal cash management requirements. Management is implementing revised procedures requiring all draw requests to be supported by detailed expenditure reconciliations, payroll reports, invoices, and other supporting documentation prior to submission. In addition, management has formally instituted a policy requiring all reimbursement requests to be submitted on an official Request for Reimbursement form, accompanied by a written statement describing the purpose of the reimbursement and the related expenditures, and supported by appropriate source documentation. The Organization will also establish an enhanced review process requiring independent verification of supporting documentation before reimbursement requests are submitted. Each completed Request for Reimbursement form, together with the related expenditure reconciliation and supporting documentation, must be reviewed and approved by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) before any drawdown or reimbursement request is submitted. Evidence of the CEO’s review and approval will be retained with each request to demonstrate compliance with federal cash management requirements under the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.305). Management is committed to ensuring future draw-down requests (including those already submitted during the subsequent year) are based solely on actual allowable expenditures incurred and are submitted in compliance with federal cash management requirements. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Edward Murphy, Asante Muyungga, Charity Gutierrez, Anthony Parker, Bennett Baber, Jannell Robinson. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30th, 2027

Condition: During testing of subrecipient payments, we identified 15 instances in which payments to subrecipients were made more than 30 calendar days after receipt of a complete and approved invoice. Planned Corrective Action: During the audit period, the organization experienced delays in processing certain subrecipient invoices. As a result, some subrecipients were not paid in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.305(b)(3). To address this finding, management has implemented the following corrective actions: Revised internal procedures to ensure payments are made within 30 calendar days of the approval of subrecipient invoices, regardless of when reimbursement is received from the federal awarding agency. Implemented a weekly aging report to identify subrecipient invoices approaching payment due dates and to ensure timely resolution. Provided additional training to the program, finance and the management teams on federal payment requirements and internal procedures. Established periodic management reviews to monitor compliance with payment timeliness requirements and identify process improvements as needed. Management fully implemented all corrective actions as of June 30, 2026. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Nancy Cummins, Controller Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges and concurs with this finding and is developing formal policies and procedures related to cash management compliance requirements. NICJR’s drawdowns were due to extraordinary circumstances. There was an unprecedented action taken by the federal government in announcing the pending cancellation of more than $800 million grants to thousands of non-profit organizations around the country. During the significant uncertainty surrounding the changing funding environment as well as our commitment to our subgrantee organizations, NICJR continued submitting reimbursement requests while awaiting additional guidance. NICJR will create a cash management policy to minimize the time elapsed between payment and request of funds to meet requirements of 2 CFR 200.305(b).
