U.S. Department of Justice U.S. Department of Health and Human Services AUDIT FINDINGS: Finding Reference Number: 2025-001 Description of Finding: Family Centered Services of CT, Inc. had not updated its procurement policy to conform to requirements in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. The policy in effect during the first part of fiscal 2025 did not specify a micro-purchase or small purchase threshold above which written quotes would be required, although this was addressed in January 2025. A formal written policy for ensuring vendors are not suspended or debarred was not included in the old policy and, although the new policy does include such language, no specific procedures were performed regarding the determination as to whether vendors were suspended or debarred. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Family Centered Services of CT, Inc. concurs with this audit finding. Corrective Action: A new procurement procedure to ensure vendors are not suspended or debarred, was prepared and implemented effective in fiscal 2026. Relevant staff have been and continue to be trained appropriately regarding execution of related procedures to ensure all aspects are being properly performed, Name of Contact Person: Jacquelyn Farrell, LCSW Executive Director 203-624-2600x204 jfarrell@familyct.org Projected Completion Date: Immediately

Finding 2025-001 – COVID 19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund - AL No. 21.027 U.S. Department of Treasury Other Matters Related to Internal Control over Compliance of the Major Program Criteria: Non‐federal entities other than states, including those operating federal programs as subrecipients of states, must follow the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. They must use their own documented procurement procedures, which reflect applicable state and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable federal statutes and the procurement requirements identified in 2 CFR Part 200. Condition and Context: During our testing as it related to compliance with procurement we noted that an expense for engineering services for the Waste Water Treatment Assessment services charged to the major program would have required a formal bidding process as the project exceeded the simplified acquisition threshold. The Town had selected the engineering company for “On Call” engineering services as it related to the DPW through a request for qualifications process. The contract does include as part of the services to be provided Waste Water Treatment Assessment services. However, the contract is not specific to federally funded projects. The Town of Medfield had submitted the request for qualifications documentation as well as the executed contracted for “On Call” services to both the Town’s consulting service and the pass through entity for approval of the Waste Water Treatment Assessment. The pass through entity and the pass through entities Auditors did not have any concerns with the request for qualifications as it relates to the Waste Water Treatment Assessment project. Questioned Costs: $175,500 Cause: Based on the judgement of the pass through entity (Norfolk County) and their auditors, the Town was approved to procure engineering services for the Waste Water Treatment Assessment as part of a larger “On Call” services contract. The Town did select the contractor through a competitive request for qualifications process, but did not initiate a separate procurement for the sub-project. Effect or Potential Effect: There is risk that amounts charged to the federal awards major program may not be in accordance with procurement, suspension, and debarment principles. Identification as a Repeat Finding: 2024-001 Recommendation: Going forward, the Town of Medfield should consider a separate bidding process for expenses related to federal grant funds. Responsible for Corrective Plan: Contact Person: Kristine Trierweiler, Town Administrator Estimated Completion Date: May 7th, 2026 Action Taken: On an ongoing basis, the Town will initiate separate procurements for projects covered under federal grants.

Finding: 2025-002 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Treasury Assistance Listing Number(s): 21.027 Program Name: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) Finding Summary: Non-Federal entities other than states, including those operating federal programs as subrecipients of states, must follow the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. They must use their own documented procurement procedures, which reflect applicable state and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable federal statutes and the procurement requirements identified in 2 CFR Part 200. 2 CFR sections 200.212 and 200.318(h); 2 CFR section 180.300; 48 CFR section 52.2096 outlines the requirements the Non-Federal entity verify vendors for which it plans to enter into a covered transaction are not debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded. It was noted that while the County does have a purchasing policy, elements as required by Uniform Guidance are absent from the policy. In addition, we noted the County did not retain the supporting documentation indicating they had verified vendors they were entering into covered transactions with were neither suspended nor debarred. While our testing noted no instances of noncompliance, the absence of internal controls over compliance as it relates to having a Uniform Guidance compliant policy, could lead the County to enter into covered transactions that are not compliant with federal regulations. Responsible Individuals: Kyle Wilmot, Canyon County Controller. Corrective Action Plan: Members of the audit office will review each vendor in the SAM.gov database to ensure that they are not suspended, debarred or otherwise excluded. The search of these entity(s) will then be saved to the shared drive for the upcoming ACFR season and the supervisor will be notified of the search to ensure that the files have been properly saved. Anticipated Completion Date: Canyon County will complete the corrective actions for the September 30, 2026, reporting period.

US Department of Treasury Passed through Colorado Department of Human Services Federal Financial Assistance Listing 21.027 Award 24 IBEH 18932 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Finding Summary: In our testing of procurement, suspension and debarment it was identified that the Organization did not have a written policy on procurement that satisfied the requirements of 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326 implemented at the beginning of the fiscal year. In addition, there was no formal review of vendors to ensure they are not suspended or debarred prior to entering into transactions. Corrective Action Plan: Both of these two deficiencies will be dealt with through an updated procurement policy as well as a check list to ensure contracts comply with all federal guidelines. In addition, all processes needed to ensure compliance will be updated or created as needed. This recommendation has been implemented last fiscal year, however the deficiency remains as the corrective action wasn’t in place for the entire fiscal year. Responsible Individual(s): Karen DeGroot, Director of Finance Anticipated Completion Date: July 2025

We again thank Crowe LLP for their hard work in this matter. This single audit has and will continue to serve as a roadmap for future financial operations. Finding 2025-001: Special Tests – Wage Rate Requirements – Significant Deficiency In two out of seven selections tested for required certified payrolls for contactor or subcontractor work performed during the fiscal year end September 30, 2025, the certified payrolls were not obtained by the City until subsequent to audit fieldwork. In addition, the City did not have internal controls in place to identify that these certified payrolls were not being obtained. Response: The City acknowledges that the required supporting documentation was not available at the time compliance testwork was completed by Crowe LLP. The City recognizes its responsibility to obtain and review certified payroll records from contractors and subcontractors for all laborers working on City grant funded projects to ensure wages and fringe benefits are paid in compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act. Corrective Action Plan: The City has an established Grants Management Policy and quarterly reporting from departments stating compliance with grant requirements. To strengthen compliance and address the documentation deficiency identified in the audit finding, the City will conduct mandatory training sessions with designated grant personnel in each department to reinforce policy requirements, required documentation standards, and applicable federal and state regulations, including certified payroll monitoring requirements where applicable. Training will be completed by June 30, 2026, and will be provided annually thereafter.The City will implement a grant review process that includes a master checklist to assist departments in verifying compliance prior to processing payments. The checklist will include verification that required supporting documentation, including certified payroll records when applicable, has been received, reviewed, and approved. Implementation of this checklist will occur by March 31, 2026. A centralized electronic repository will be established to allow Finance access to grant agreements, supporting documentation and relate records maintained by City departments. This control will be implemented by March 31, 2026. Additional internal controls will be incorporated into the financial software system to ensure that all required supporting documentation is attached and reviewed prior to payment approval. This control will be implemented by March 31, 2026. The City will conduct periodic internal compliance review testing of grants, including verification of required labor compliance documentation where applicable, to confirm ongoing adherence to federal and state regulations. Pre-award and post-award meetings will be held between Finance and the respective grant departments to establish reporting parameters, documentation requirements, monitoring responsibilities and compliance expectations prior to project implementation. When bids are solicited that include grant funding, the City will continue to communicate to all prospective bidders that compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including labor standard requirements when applicable, is a condition of award. Bid documents will include a sample copy of the U.S. Department of Labor Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Weekly Certified Payroll form.

2025-001 Program: Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects Financial Assistance Listing Number: 20.934 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Transportation Pass-through: California Department of Transportation Award Year: 2019 Grant Award Number: INFRALUL-5459(031) Compliance Requirements: Special Tests and Provisions – Wage Rate Requirements Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Instance of Noncompliance Management’s Response: We concur. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: During most of the fiscal year (July through April), the City monitored certified payroll reports (CPRs) monthly as part of its construction oversight procedures. Documentation of this monitoring was maintained through email communications and supporting records. In April 2025, following the FY24 Single Audit, the City evaluated its procedures and implemented enhanced controls to better align with federal requirements by requiring weekly monitoring and tracking of CPR submissions. These enhanced procedures were implemented to strengthen internal controls over compliance with federal prevailing wage requirements. Beginning in May 2025, CHA Consulting (formerly Falcon Engineering), the City’s outside consultant, began providing a weekly certified payroll tracking spreadsheet and the requested payroll documentation for selected contractors to the City’s Project Manager for review. The City documented the receipt, review, and follow-up actions through email correspondence and maintained supporting records of these activities. In addition, Public Works staff and the City’s consultants responsible for contract administration and labor compliance monitoring were provided updated guidance regarding federal prevailing wage requirements, including the requirement for weekly certified payroll submissions and documentation of review. Project Manager oversight was incorporated into the process to verify the accuracy of the certified payroll tracking log and ensure that reviews are performed consistently. This oversight provides an additional level of verification that monitoring procedures are conducted in accordance with federal requirements. Although the City enhanced its monitoring procedures, contractors and subcontractors did not always submit certified payroll reports within seven days as required under 29 CFR §3.4. The City continues to reinforce timely submission requirements with contractors and monitors compliance through the weekly tracking process. When certified payroll submissions are not received within the required timeframe, the City follows up with the contractor requesting immediate submission and documents the corrective actions taken. The City remains committed to strengthening its monitoring procedures to ensure timely submission, tracking, and documented review of certified payroll reports. In the event of payroll delinquencies, the City will take appropriate follow-up actions with contractors and may withhold progress payments when necessary to enforce compliance. In addition, the City is implementing new contract provisions in federally funded Public Works contracts to establish clear authority and enforce compliance with federal labor standards. These provisions include: • Requiring weekly certified payroll reporting in accordance with federal regulations • Authorizing the withholding of progress payments for non-compliance • Requiring contractors to communicate labor compliance requirements to all subcontractors • Requiring the use of electronic certified payroll reporting systems, where applicable • Allowing the City to conduct payroll audits and worker interviews as permitted under federal labor compliance regulations These contract provisions are intended to further strengthen the City’s internal controls and ensure compliance with federal prevailing wage requirements on federally funded projects. The City will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these procedures and will update its internal controls as necessary to ensure ongoing compliance with federal labor compliance requirements.

Finding 2025-002 Significant deficiency in internal control over compliance with procurement procedures meeting the requirements of 2 CFR Part 200. Contact Person(s): Nicholas Lee, Chief Financial Officer Corrective action planned: Management will revise the organization's procurement policy to amend the current dollar threshold, which was determined to be overly restrictive and inconsistent with operational needs and federal procurement standards under 2 CFR Part 200. The updated threshold will align with the Uniform Guidance requirements and provide clear guidance for competitive procurement processes. In addition, the organization will implement a standardized Vendor Justification Form. This form will be required for applicable purchases and will document the rationale for vendor selection, including the price analysis, sole source justification (if applicable), and confirmation that the procurement procedures were followed in accordance with federal requirements. These corrective actions are intended to strengthen internal controls over procurement, improve documentation consistency, and ensure compliance with 2 CFR 200 requirements.

Finding 2025-001: Special Tests – Wage Rate Requirements – Significant Deficiency In two out of seven selections tested for required certified payrolls for contactor or subcontractor work performed during the fiscal year end September 30, 2025, the certified payrolls were not obtained by the City until subsequent to audit fieldwork. In addition, the City did not have internal controls in place to identify that these certified payrolls were not being obtained. Response: The City acknowledges that the required supporting documentation was not available at the time compliance testwork was completed by Crowe LLP. The City recognizes its responsibility to obtain and review certified payroll records from contractors and subcontractors for all laborers working on City grant funded projects to ensure wages and fringe benefits are paid in compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act. Corrective Action Plan: The City has an established Grants Management Policy and quarterly reporting from departments stating compliance with grant requirements. To strengthen compliance and address the documentation deficiency identified in the audit finding, the City will conduct mandatory training sessions with designated grant personnel in each department to reinforce policy requirements, required documentation standards, and applicable federal and state regulations, including certified payroll monitoring requirements where applicable. Training will be completed by June 30, 2026, and will be provided annually thereafter.The City will implement a grant review process that includes a master checklist to assist departments in verifying compliance prior to processing payments. The checklist will include verification that required supporting documentation, including certified payroll records when applicable, has been received, reviewed, and approved. Implementation of this checklist will occur by March 31, 2026. A centralized electronic repository will be established to allow Finance access to grant agreements, supporting documentation and relate records maintained by City departments. This control will be implemented by March 31, 2026. Additional internal controls will be incorporated into the financial software system to ensure that all required supporting documentation is attached and reviewed prior to payment approval. This control will be implemented by March 31, 2026. The City will conduct periodic internal compliance review testing of grants, including verification of required labor compliance documentation where applicable, to confirm ongoing adherence to federal and state regulations. Pre-award and post-award meetings will be held between Finance and the respective grant departments to establish reporting parameters, documentation requirements, monitoring responsibilities and compliance expectations prior to project implementation. When bids are solicited that include grant funding, the City will continue to communicate to all prospective bidders that compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including labor standard requirements when applicable, is a condition of award. Bid documents will include a sample copy of the U.S. Department of Labor Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Weekly Certified Payroll form. Contact Person Responsible/Anticipated Completion Date: The Finance Director is responsible for oversight of this corrective action plan, with day-to-day management and implementation delegated to the Assistant Director of Finance. Implementation of these corrective actions is scheduled to begin immediately, with full completion anticipated by June 30, 2026. Once implemented, the procedures will be monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance and to prevent recurrence of the finding.

Finding 2025-004 U.S. Department of Agriculture Federal Financial Assistance Listing/ALN #10.855 Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grants Federal Award #IA0714-BI17 2025 Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Material Noncompliance and Material Weakness in Internal Controlover Compliance Criteria: Uniform Guidance and 2 CFR §§ 200.318 through 200.326 establish the procurement standards that non-federal entities (other than states) must follow when expending federal awards. These standards require non-federal entities to maintain written procurement policies and procedures that ensure full and open competition, use of appropriate procurement methods based on dollar thresholds, and inclusion of required contract provisions as outlined in Appendix II to Part 200. Condition: The Hospital does not have a written procurement policy that conforms to the procurement standards under Uniform Guidance and 2 CFR §§ 200.318 through 200.326. In addition, testing of the Hospital’s only procurement transaction during the audit period disclosed the following instances of noncompliance: The procurement method used was not in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements, as the contract amount exceeded the simplified acquisition threshold and a sealed bid or other allowable competitive procurement method was not obtained. The executed contract did not include all required contract provisions as prescribed by Appendix II to 2 CFR Part 200. Planned Corrective Action: Management is aware of the deficiency of internal control over the procurement, suspension and debarment direct and material requirement and subsequent to fiscal year end has implemented a formal procurement policy. Planned Completion Date: June 30, 2026 Person Responsible: Denise Hook, Chief Financial Officer
