Corrective Action Plans

CIF grew substantially in FY 24 following execution of the Federal award. This finding reflects the learning phase as CIF came into compliance with the Uniform Guidance. Beginning in FY 26, CIF implemented multiple corrective actions to address this finding: 1. CIF created a new template for Subaward Agreements that includes all elements required under 2 CFR 200.332(b). This template will be used for any future Subaward Agreements into which CIF enters. 2. CIF created an Amendment template for each active Federal award Subaward/Subrecipient Agreement that includes all elements required under 2 CFR 200.332(b), a requirement to submit period financial reports to CIF, and a section on compliance with audit requirements according to 2 CFR 200.332(g) / 2 CFR 200.501. 3. For each Subrecipient of CIF’s grant NR233A750004G045 under ALN #10.937, formerly known as the Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities grant but now known as the Advancing Markets for Producers (AMP) program, CIF will use that template to execute an Amendment to the Subaward/Subrecipient Agreement following the execution of the Amendment to the Grant Agreement between CIF and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). 4. CIF implemented a schedule for reviewing current subrecipients’ FY 25 Audit Reports after they are published in the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in mid-2026, document the impact of any audit findings on the federally funded program, and implement a corrective action plan. 5. CIF made revisions in the FY 26 update to the CIF Subaward Management & Subrecipient Monitoring Policy and Procedures which will apply to any new subawards. The pre-award risk assessment procedures now include dating and ensure that results are documented prior to subaward execution. The monitoring procedures are now explicitly linked to risk assessment results, with greater oversight required for subrecipients without experience managing Federal funds.

Finding 2025-003: Subrecipient Monitoring Condition: The Sponsoring Organization did not consistently perform the required initial on-site review for new subrecipients (centers and FCC providers) within the mandatory 28-day timeframe. View of Responsible Officials: 4C agrees with the audit finding. Corrective Action Plan: 4C will implement a new process of requiring the first visit for new providers to be conducted by the 20th of the month with notes required in kidcare system related to scheduling and rescheduling of visit. Responsible Party: Pagie Runion, Strategic Director of Business Services Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Finding 2025-002: Subrecipient Monitoring Condition: During the review of internal controls related to subrecipient monitoring, it was noted that the monthly meetings required between the Program Manager and the Monitoring Specialist were not consistently performed throughout the fiscal year. Specifically, for the 12-month period tested, the required monthly reviews were not documented for 3 out of 12 months. View of Responsible Officials: 4C agrees with the audit finding. Corrective Action Plan: 4C will improve their control process to include a mandatory monthly check with the department manager to verify visits are completed timely. Responsible Party: Pagie Runion, Strategic Director of Business Services Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Actions Planned in Response to Finding: RAED will develop a set of procedures the will allow them to be in compliance for subrecipient monitoring. Official Responsible for Ensuring CAP: Savannah Walsh, Executive Director, is the official responsible for ensuring corrective action. Planned Completion Date for CAP: June 30, 2026 Plan to Monitor Completion of CAP: The Board of Education will be monitoring this corrective action plan. Savannah Walsh Executive Director

2025-003 Lack of Formal Subrecipient Monitoring Criteria: According to 2 CFR §200.332 (Requirements for Pass-Through Entities), a pass-through entity must monitor the activities of subrecipients as necessary to ensure that federal funds are used for authorized purposes and in compliance with applicable statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the Federal award. Required monitoring includes, but is not limited to, the following: a. Reviewing financial and programmatic reports; b. Performing risk assessments of subrecipients; c. Following up on deficiencies identified through audits or reviews; and d. Ensuring subrecipients have required audits under 2 CFR §200.501. Lack of documented subrecipient monitoring constitutes noncompliance with Uniform Guidance. Client Response: While the organization was in constant contact with subrecipients regarding the progress of their programming, those meetings were not transcribed. In the future, the organization will require mid year and year-end impact reports from each grant subrecipient.

Views of Responsible Officials: In practice, BRAC USA has consistently evaluated subrecipient risk prior to issuing subawards by considering factors such as prior experience with similar awards, historical audit results, organizational capacity, and financial stability. However, we acknowledge that these assessments were not formalized or consistently documented in a standardized format, as required by 2 CFR § 200.332(c). To address this gap, BRAC USA will develop and implement written procedures and a standardized subrecipient risk assessment tool to be completed and filed prior to issuing Federal subawards. The tool will capture required criteria, including prior audit results, prior performance under similar awards, financial stability indicators, internal control considerations, and any recent staffing or systems changes. These procedures will be incorporated into BRAC USA’s Fiscal Policies and Procedures Manual. The results of each risk assessment will be used to tailor the level and nature of ongoing subrecipient monitoring, and records will be maintained in the grant file to evidence compliance with 2 CFR § 200.332(c). Planned Completion Date: April 30, 2026

The following actions will be taken to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance requirements over internal controls: Management concurs with the finding. Effective immediately, The Greater Washington Community Foundation has implemented the following corrective actions: (1) Prior to entering into any subaward agreement involving federal funds as well as at the time of each payment, designated staff will verify that potential subrecipients are not suspended or debarred by conducting searches in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov, with documentation maintained in the grant file. This verification will also be performed when subaward agreements are amended or extended. (2) The standard subaward agreement template will be updated to include all required information specified in 2 CFR §200.332(b)(1), including the federal assistance listing number, subrecipient's unique entity identifier, federal award project description, amount of federal funds obligated, total federal award amount, applicable compliance requirements, and reporting and monitoring requirements. To strengthen ongoing compliance, the Foundation's procurement and cash management policies have been updated to incorporate these federal compliance requirements and will be reviewed annually. Given that federal funding is not received on a recurring basis, upon receipt of future federal funding, the Controller will serve as the Compliance Coordinator with full oversight of compliance activities. The Controller will review applicable federal regulations, update internal procedures as necessary, and provide comprehensive training to appropriate staff managing the contract to ensure adherence to all grant requirements. The finance team will complete a quarterly review process to verify that all active federal subawards contain required compliance elements, with the Controller maintaining oversight of this review and reporting any deficiencies to the Chief Financial Officer for immediate remediation.

Finding Number: 2025-001 Condition: The Authority did not provide sufficient evidence that there was adequate monitoring of subrecipients. Planned Corrective Action: SMART has implemented a subrecipient review schedule and created a monitoring checklist. All entities receiving any passthrough funding from SMART are included on the schedule. This will ensure no missed subrecipients, including Monroe agencies. The new checklist will ensure all required monitoring activities are considered during the review and will document all monitoring performed. SMART believes this new schedule and checklist will satisfy all federal monitoring requirements.

Finding Number 2024-014 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (ERA) AL #21.019 Planned Corrective Action Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) partially concurs with these findings. • OMES disagrees that they had sufficient and timely notice to make full corrective actions prior to this FY2024 audit for the following reasons: the FY2021 State auditor & Inspector (SAI) audit was released four days prior to the beginning of FY2024, the FY2022 SAI audit was released near the end of FY2025, and the FY2023 audit was released in FY2026; therefore, OMES could not take corrective action prior to the FY2024 audit began. At the beginning of FY2025, OMES began corrective measures as noted in SAI’s Condition and Context in this finding. • OMES acknowledges OMES subrecipient monitoring process lacked the strength and consistency to ensure subrecipients established and maintained effective internal control. However, OMES has taken steps to correct these findings and follow the recommendations set forth by SAI as noted in SAI’s Condition and Context in this finding. Beginning with FY2025, OMES has taken the following measures:  Oversight and management of the ERA program has been transferred to the OMES Grant Management Office (OMES-GMO) which has staff with several years of grant experience. OMES-GMO has recently hired additional staff, and the two staff members dedicated to the management of the ERA program have 20+ years of combined federal grant specific experience.  OMES ensured that the subrecipient agreement included all the required terms under the ERA Program and that the agreement does not expire, OMES-GMO and the Communities of Foundation of Oklahoma (CFO) executed an updated Subrecipient Grant Agreement Amendment that details the responsibilities of OMES to monitor CFO and the duties and processes that CFO must follow in regard to ERA Program, including detailed cash management policies.  OMES-GMO required the return of the remaining ERA2 Program funds from CFO to ensure proper oversight and review of ERA expenditures is performed.  OMES-GMO has in place a multi-level system of internal controls for grant management and oversight that includes routine monitoring, desk review, and site visits for all projects and associated project/administrative expenditures to ensure allowability, accuracy, and assist in the detection of fraud. For example, OMES-GMO’s process for disbursing funds to a subrecipient requires a written request from the subrecipient with supporting documentation, then OMES-GMO assigns a staff lead and secondary grant analyst to perform a primary and secondary review for compliance and to require additional supporting documentation if needed to approve the request. Once those reviews are completed and approved by the OMES-GMO staff, the Director of the OMES-GMO must approve the request before it is sent to the OMES Finance Division, who will then verify the calculated amount(s) before completing the disbursement to the subrecipient. These internal controls and policies have been implemented for the management and oversight of the ERA Program and provide a multilayer review that will prevent fraud and risk factors applicable to the ERA program. Additionally, the OMES-GMO staff assigned to the ERA program have the training and knowledge to ensure compliance with the Federal grant requirements.  Depending on the level of risk, OMES-GMO conducts monthly, bi-weekly or weekly meetings with each subrecipient to monitor the progress of projects and address any issues or changes that might impact the project. For the ERA Program, OMESGMO conducted bi-weekly monitoring meetings with CFO and reviewed documentation provided by CFO to ensure all ERA projects were eligible under the ERA guidelines and that CFO exercised the proper oversight over their subrecipients and spending.

Finding Number 2024-093 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) 97.036 – Disaster Grants – Public Assistance Planned Corrective Action Management acknowledges risk assessments were not performed in SFY24. Going forward, OEM will conduct risk assessments that are an annual review for all open projects and a monthly review for any new applicants. They will involve feedback from both the subrecipient and OEM’s data and is completed in EMGrants. Anyone has the ability to see the applicant risk rating on the applicant homepage in the system. While there was a grant wide extension for period of performance, management acknowledges the applicants identified by SAI did not request time extensions for their specific project and therefore, did not meet period of performance requirements. OEM will implement procedures to ensure applicants meet period of performance deadlines and have proper time extensions documented when required.

Finding Number 2024-025 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) 93.658 – Foster Care Planned Corrective Action Oklahoma Human Services (OKDHS) concurs with the recommendation. OKDHS has been working to centralize and strengthen its contract and subrecipient monitoring processes to improve consistency in the identification, documentation, risk assessment, and monitoring of subrecipient relationships across the agency. As part of this effort, OKDHS is updating its procedures and standardized documentation to better ensure that subawards include required federal award information, program responsibilities and deliverables are sufficiently defined, required documentation is obtained and retained, and subrecipient risk assessments and monitoring activities are completed and documented consistently. OKDHS will implement updated, centralized contract and subrecipient monitoring procedures, including standardized tools and documentation requirements designed to address the conditions identified in the finding. The updated process will clarify responsibilities for documenting subrecipient risk assessments, required federal award information, contractual requirements, deliverables, and ongoing monitoring activities.

Finding Number 2024-016 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) AL #84.425 – EDUCATION STABILIZATION FUND (ESF - AL #84.425D; #84.425U) Planned Corrective Action The agency acknowledges that certain ESSER II and ARP ESSER III claims were approved without adequate review of supporting documentation by authorized claims reviewers. To address this finding, the agency has strengthened its claims review procedures and internal controls related to reimbursement processing. Additional training will be provided for all claims reviewers regarding: • allowable use of funds requirements, • supporting documentation standards, • verification of invoice documentation, • program coding requirements, and • review and approval expectations for federal claims. The agency will also implement enhanced supervisory review and monitoring procedures to help ensure claims are consistently reviewed in accordance with federal requirements prior to approval. The agency acknowledges that allocation notices were not consistently generated and provided to certain LEAs in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR § 200.332(a)(1). Additionally, one allocation notice did not contain all required elements, including the Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) and Federal award date. Although the audit confirmed that allocation amounts and approved budgets within the grants management system were accurate, the agency recognizes the need to strengthen procedures related to issuance and documentation of subrecipient award notifications. To address this finding, the agency will revise and strengthen internal procedures to ensure all required allocation notices are generated, maintained, and distributed timely and consistently to subrecipients. The agency will also coordinate with our third party vendor to implement additional quality control measures and staff training to ensure all required federal award information, including the FAIN and Federal award date, is included in future allocation notices in accordance with 2 CFR § 200.332 requirements.

Finding Number 2024-018 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) 20.509 – Formula Grants for Rural Areas Planned Corrective Action Contract Template and Review Process Improvements: OMPT has updated and corrected the standard contract templates to ensure all required federal award information is accurate and consistently included. In addition, the contract agreement review process has been strengthened and formalized into a two-step review. Agreements are now reviewed by a supervisor and/or manager prior to submission to the division head for final signature. This enhanced review structure is designed to ensure the completeness and accuracy of grant information and to reduce the risk of errors in subrecipient agreements. For active subrecipient agreements identified as containing incorrect federal award information, OMPT will issue formal written notifications (via letter or email) to provide corrected grant details and ensure subrecipients have accurate information for compliance purposes. Subrecipient Monitoring and Single Audit Procedures: OMPT will continue implementation of enhanced subrecipient risk assessment procedures as part of its monitoring process. This includes formal documentation of risk assessments, as well as required inquiries with subrecipients to determine the appropriate audit type based on expected federal expenditures. Procedures related to Single Audit tracking and followup are being strengthened. The Single Audit Tracking Sheet will be updated monthly and reviewed for completeness and timeliness.

Contact Person(s): Brianna Mariani - BriannaMariani@housinghope.org Kathryn Opina - KathrynOpina@housinghope.org Explanation and specific reasons for disagreement with the audit finding or that corrective action is not required (if applicable): N/A Corrective action planned: This was the first and only grant Housing Hope has administered that required subrecipient monitoring. The grant has since ended and the organization does not anticipate entering any future agreements that would require subrecipient monitoring. To ensure compliance should such an agreement arise again, Housing Hope adopted a Subrecipient Monitoring Policy. This policy outlines the criteria for identifying subrecipient relationships and establish a standardized process for monitoring subrecipients, if any are engaged in the future. Anticipated completion date: The Subrecipient Monitoring Policy was adopted October 2025 by the Board.

2024-003 Program: WIOA Cluster Federal Financial Assistance Listing Number: 17.258, 17.259, 17.277, 17.278 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Labor Pass-Through: California Department of Employment Development Award No. and Year: AA011008 and 2019 Compliance Requirements: Subrecipient Monitoring Type of Finding: Material Weakness Management’s or Department’s Response: Imperial County Workforce Development Office (ICWDO) agrees with the finding. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The questions from finding 2021-008 relate to a formalization of the fiscal processes and protocols. ICWDO operates under WIOA guidelines and follows Imperial County’s fiscal policies. Internal policy will be formally updated to reflect compliance with WIOA regulations, as well as Imperial County policies. These policies will include formal controls and procedures to evaluate each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance. Once the formal procedure is drafted, it will go through the ICWDO Policy Committee for comment and direction, and then finally reviewed and approved for implementation by the full Workforce Development Board. Additionally, for any future Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) between this Imperial County department and any outside agency, there will be an additional step to include review by Imperial County Counsel to reflect that recital around the funding source will specify the following required information: • Federal Award Identification Number • Federal award date of award to recipient by the Federal agency • Name of Federal awarding agency • CFDA Number • Specific identification of whether the award is research and development ICWDO will develop internal policies for formalizing all subrecipient monitoring process. ICWDO operates under WIOA guidelines for monitoring; therefore a formal internal policy for future contracts will be developed and implemented using the usual review and approval procedures followed by the department. ICWDO will develop a formal internal documentation system, with appropriate checks and signatures, for the evaluation and assessment of each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance. ICWDO will utilize this formal process to properly document the risk assessment of all subrecipients. ICWDO anticipates to implement the corrective action by December 31, 2025.

Concur: · 8 instances where the Government was unable to obtain Quarterly Progress Reports. As a result of the audit finding and in accordance with grant requirement, a Governor's Authorized Representative (GAR) Memo is being implemented, requiring Subrecipients to submit Quarterly Progress Reports within 10 days of quarter end. All reports are reviewed and retained in a centralized location for documentation and audit compliance. · 8 instances where the Government was unable to obtain completion/inspection certificate. Project inspection/certification report(s) are now required for all payment request federal fund drawdowns. The reports must now be uploaded to the Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) and retained in centralized location for documentation and record keeping purposes. · 8 subrecipients with no supporting documentation that VITEMA verified that subrecipients expected to be audited as required by 2 CFR part 200, subpart F. The Program will annually notify subrecipients of their audit responsibilities, monitor compliance, obtain required audit reports, and maintain documentation in a centralized location for audit and recordkeeping purposes.

The Government concurs with the auditor’s findings and recommendations. Corrective action plan as follows: - Develop subrecipient monitoring policies (2 CFR 200.331–200.332) - Conduct risk assessments - Monitor financial and performance reports - Establish tracking system - Require follow-up on audit findings

To address this finding, OMB will strengthen its subrecipient monitoring controls and formalize procedures to ensure compliance with 2 CFR 200.303 and 2 CFR 200.332, including requirements related to identifying subawards, assessing subrecipient risk, documenting monitoring activities, following up on deficiencies, and maintaining evidence of supervisory review. OMB will also conduct periodic internal quality control reviews of subrecipient files to confirm that monitoring documentation is complete, timely, and consistent with federal requirements.
