The previous audit firm did not find this to be an issue, we were told that reporting to FFATA was needed once a year for the previous year’s disbursements and that is what we have done. Now we will report every time we pass the $30,000 disbursement to a subrecipient.

The corrective action for this finding was completed following the 2023 audit. The finding did not reoccur since that time but rather the reissue of the finding for reporting periods that occurred prior to the implementation of the 2023 corrective action plan. The position of Grants Coordinator was created and filled to handle grants management functions which ensures proper quarter end dates and expenditures appropriate for the period are reported. Under this process, the Grant Coordinator collaborates with the Construction Financial Administrator to complete forms which are then reviewed with the Director of Grants and CFO prior to submission.

The Administrator and Fiscal Officer will work to ensure all reports for grant funding are completed.

Management intends to implement a monitoring process to ensure compliance with the reporting requirements of the grants. This would include adherence to meeting the reporting timelines. Individual Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Nicole DuPont Director of Strategic Development & Grants (269) 986-0077 Anticipated Completion Date: October 1, 2025

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.

Condition: As of the March 31, 2024, reporting date, the Town reported project amounts voted by the Select Board as obligated rather than purchases, contracts and agreements that met the Federal criteria of an obligation. Corrective Action Plan: Misinterpretation of Federal reporting requirements regarding the definition of an obligation. Reliance on local budgetary approvals (Select Board votes) rather than federally defined contractual commitments. Lack of documented procedures for distinguishing between appropriations/votes and obligations in Federal reporting. This was primarily due to the many changes by the US Treasury on ARPA Federal Reporting. The Select Board did obligate funds for the Town to hire a compliance accountant as an administrative service which is allowable under ARPA to ensure compliance. In addition, the Town hired a full-time grants coordinator to oversee the grants. All future reports will reflect only qualifying obligations supported by contracts, purchase orders, or agreements. Anticipated Completion Dates: o Completed in 2025: Correction of prior misreporting and adoption of revised obligation reporting practice. o By September 30, 2025: Grant Coordinator additional training and issuance of updated reporting checklist. o Ongoing: Federal obligation reports prepared quarterly, reviewed by the Grant Coordinator prior to submission. Quarterly compliance checks will be performed by the Grant Coordinator to confirm obligations are federally compliant. Contact Information: Donna Cotterell, Grant Coordinator

Finding 2024-003 Improper Revenue Recognition (Material Weakness) Assistance Listing Number and Title: 84.010 Title I Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Assistance Listing Number and Title: 10.553 and 10.555 National School Lunch Breakfast and Lunch Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Criteria: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial report-ing. Internal controls should allow management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned func-tions to prevent or detect material misstatements in the financial reporting of all district funds. 2 CFR Part 200.302(b)(1) The financial management system of each non-federal entity must provide for the following: Identification, in its accounts, of all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received. 200.302(b)(2) Accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each Federal award or program in accordance with the reporting requirements set forth in 200.328 and 200.329. Condition: During our audit, it was noted that revenue from certain grant-funded programs was not accurately recog-nized between state and federal sources. Specifically: • Some payments of federal revenue was recorded as state revenue, and some payments of state revenue was rec-orded as federal revenue. • In some cases, revenue was not recognized in the correct reporting period. This caused under recognition of current year federal revenue, and grant reimbursement to be therefore to be claimed in duplicate. Cause: Lack of clear procedures for distinguishing and recording revenue streams for blended funding sources. Internal controls to prevent, detect and correct accounting entries for grant revenues were weak or nonexistent allowing errors in reporting of revenues, overclaiming of federal revenues, and distinguishing revenue between state and federal sources. The lack of timely recognition of revenues caused the overclaiming of Title I. The accounting records were retroactively revised during the audit, for federal award and other reporting purposes. Dis-trict management did not have sufficient training or monitoring policies to recognize and correct the deficiency during the fiscal year. Effect or Potential Effect: Not accurately recording transactions timely into the general ledger, may result in transac-tions not being properly reported in the district’s financial statements and the ability to rely on the general ledger for correct and timely information. This may cause misstatement of financial statements, and inappropriate reporting of federal awards. Questioned Cost: No Context: Due to improper recording of financial activity, Title I grant revenues were overclaimed, and general ledger required adjustment for proper state and federal presentation of grant revenues for National School Lunch Program. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend that Willamina School District implement accounting staff training programs, and implement a standardized revenue recognition policy that clearly distinguishes between state and federal funding sources. Additionally, we recommend that a reconciliation process be established to ensure all federal, state and matching funds are recorded timely and accurately. District's Response: The District concurs with the recommendation. Corrective Action Plan: The District will provide training for staff in order to devise and implement appropriate poli-cies and procedures for accurately recording all financial transactions, including federal award revenues and expendi-tures. Additional internal control policies will be adopted and procedures implemented as on-going improvement efforts are made. Planned Implementation Date: August 1, 2025 Responsible Person: District Business Manager

Description of Finding: Reporting - Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls Over Compliance and Noncompliance · Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.328 (Uniform Guidance), recipients of federal funds must file complete, accurate, and timely financial reports using the prescribed standard reporting forms (e.g., SF-425). These reports must be supported by the recipient's underlying accounting records and signed by authorized personnel. · Condition/Context: The Tribe was unable to provide documentation demonstrating that the required Federal Financial Report (FFR) for the year ended September 30, 2024, was submitted. As a result, the auditors could not determine whether FFR was filed in a timely manner or whether it included the proper authorization signature. · Cause/Effect: The apparent lack of formal procedures or controls for retaining evidence of FFR submissions contributed to the unavailability of supporting documentation. The absence of evidence of submission and authorization could result in noncompliance with federal reporting requirements. If the report was not submitted timely or was not signed by authorized personnel, the Tribe may be subject to adverse consequences, including potential questioning of costs, additional oversight, or delays in future funding. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Tribe agrees with the finding as stated by the auditors. Corrective Action: The Tribe has drafted a comprehensive Financial Management Policies and Procedure Manual, which includes a section specific to grants management and procurement, that will provide guidance for month end close, asset management and preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Reporting, etc. The Financial Management Policies and Procedure Manual will be presented to the Tribal Council for review and adoption by December 2025. Additionally, the Tribe has a third-party CPA firm to conduct mandatory Uniform Guidance training and regular grant compliance and accounting training for all program and accounting staff working with grant awards.

Finding 2024-002 Identification of the federal program: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistance Listing: 93.817 Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) Ebola Preparedness and Response Activities Pass-Through Grantor: Not applicable Award Number: U3REP220676 Award Period: 9/30/2024-9/29/2025 Summary of Finding: For one of the two Federal Financial Reports (FFRs) submitted in FY 2024, incorrect project/grant period dates and federal share of expenditures amount was reported in the FFR. Two FFR reports were submitted in FY 2024. The FFR instructions required reporting the cumulative Federal share of expenditures amount ($2,253,211) from the date of inception of the award (9/30/2022) through the end date of the reporting period specified. However, Corewell reported only the current period expenditures ($933,054) for the current grant year and consequently, this error also resulted in incorrect amounts reported for the Unliquidated balance of Federal funds. The total federal expenditures for HPP for FY 2024 were $1,292,999. Corrective Action Plan: Leadership acknowledges the need for more robust deliverable tracking and review of Federal Financial Reports (FFRs) prior to submission. A written protocol and tracking matrix will be developed to record and track all federally funded projects that report through the Payment Management System (PMS) to ensure the correct period of performance report is created and a second level of review performed on a timely basis in accordance with sponsor requirements prior to submission. Individuals responsible for corrective action: Brittany Kruse, Vice President Finance and Assistant Controller David Ross, Director, Research Finance and Analysis Timing of corrective action: September 1, 2025, and going forward

Reports were not sent in a way that does not show proof that they were received and reviewed. In the future all reports will be sent and approved through a channel that can be proven and pulled upon request at any time.

The Town acknowledges the finding related to the delayed submission of the 4th Quarter 2024 ARPA report and concurs with the auditor’s recommendation. While the Town ultimately recognizes its responsibility to meet the filing deadlines for all federal reporting, the Town has instituted efforts to mitigate the reporting lapse since the oversight. To prevent recurrence, the Town has implemented the following corrective actions: 1. Formal Reporting Calendar: A centralized ARPA reporting calendar has been created. This calendar will include internal deadlines at least 14 days in advance of federally mandated submission dates. 2. Assigned Reporting Officer: A designated ARPA Reporting Officer has been appointed, responsible for coordinating all necessary documentation and submissions related to ARPA funding. 3. Pre-Submission Review Process: A new protocol has been established requiring internal review and sign-off from both the Comptroller and the Town Supervisor’s designee no less than one week prior to each deadline. 4. Ongoing Training and Coordination: The Town will continue to work closely with its auditors and legal counsel to remain current on federal guidance, ensure continued compliance with Uniform Guidance standards, and maintain internal staff awareness of applicable obligations under ARPA. We believe these measures will ensure timely and accurate reporting for all future quarters and strengthen our internal compliance infrastructure.
