View of Responsible Official (This was implemented at the end of the 22/23 Audit, however, that audit was completed after the beginning of the next fiscal year. Therefore, the timing overlapped, and the changes implemented were not yet evident at the beginning of the new fiscal year.) Currently, based on the capacity of the Organization’s staffing pool, the most efficient and effective means of review and reconciliation of cash disbursements and payroll is the Organization’s Board Chair and CEO reviewing the cash disbursements and payroll every two weeks, prior to payments being made. The Organization’s Director of Operations forwards the Board Chair and CEO a listing of cash disbursements and payroll due with the suggested payments. The Board Chair and CEO each will ask questions and formally “approve” or “disapprove” each transaction, prior to any disbursements. Once reviewed, the CEO will return the reviewed materials to the Director of Operations with the amounts to pay. Also, the Organization’s outsourced accountant will review and approve each monthly bank reconciliation and bank statement for all Organizational accounts, as well as the monthly credit card statements. The outsourced accountant does not have the ability to access the monthly bank statements or make purchases.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN July 17, 2025 Health Resources and Services Administration Jewish Child Care Association of New York (d/b/a JCCA) and Affiliated Organization respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2024. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CohnReznick LLP 1301 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10019 Audit Period: June 30, 2024 The findings from the June 30, 2024 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS – FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS Finding 2024-001 – Account Analyses MATERIAL WEAKNESS Recommendation We recommend that the Agency implement policies, procedures and controls to ensure that all accounting records are analyzed and reconciled on a monthly basis. In addition, the Agency should follow the policies and procedures for the proper and timely review of all journal entries. The personnel reviewing the journal entries should agree the journal entries to the source documents or underlying support and should document his or her review of the journal entry. Action Taken Management of the Agency is in agreement with this finding. The Agency experienced turnover in key positions of the finance department and therefore they have outsourced their finance function to BTQ Financial from the end of November. BTQ is focusing on the implementation of reconciling the accounts on a more routine and timelier basis which is consistent with financial policies and procedures of the Agency. Revised Policy and Procedures that incorporate this finding will be in place by 8/1/2025. Finding 2024-002 – Information Technology – General Control Activities SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Recommendation We recommend the Agency follow their policy for password age. We also recommend that the Agency enable multi-factor authentication. Lastly, we recommend the Agency perform a risk assessment over the information technology environment. We recommend a written risk assessment and penetration test to be performed annually and vulnerability scans to be performed quarterly. Action Taken Password policy had been updated with stricter complexity and retention requirements, aligning to or exceeding best practices. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) had been implemented on all VPN and remote access to JCCA resources. HIPAA Risk Assessment will be completed by July 31, 2025. A SOCaaS (Security Operation Center as a Service) with continuous internal and external vulnerability scanning and assessment will be implemented by July 25,2025. A contract to purchase network security and email security solutions was signed and will be implemented in October 2025. Penetration testing is planned for Q1 2026 after all the mentioned security enhancements are in place. FINDINGS – FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AUDIT U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Unaccompanied Alien Children Program (Assistance Listing Number 93.676), FAIN # 90ZU0385, 90ZU0603, 90ZU0567, and 90ZU0536, for FY 2024 - Significant Deficiency Finding 2024-003 – Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Recommendation We recommend that the Agency train its personnel in relation to the exclusion screening and proper documentation thereof and that the Agency conduct regular reviews to ensure the completeness of exclusion search documentation. Action Taken As per the Purchasing policy, new vendors are sanctioned by the Purchasing department prior to the creation of a purchase order. Compliance conducts a monthly sanction review of all vendors. Sanction checks have now been completed for the vendors previously missed, and we have strengthened internal controls to ensure all newly added vendors are screened moving forward. In addition, employees whose salaries are charged to federal grants are also subject to suspension and debarment checks. JCCA ensures to actively conduct these checks in compliance with federal regulations. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Unaccompanied Alien Children Program (Assistance Listing Number 93.676), FAIN # 90ZU0385, 90ZU0603, 90ZU0567, and 90ZU0536, for FY 2024 - Significant Deficiency Finding 2024-004 – Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Recommendation We recommend that the Agency strengthen their internal control policies and procedures to ensure that the allocations per the time and effort attestation forms agree with the amount charged to the grant per the general ledger. Action Taken We acknowledge the recommendation and recognize the importance of aligning time and effort attestations with the amounts charged to grants in the general ledger. We ensure that any changes to employee allocations are reflected timely in our payroll and accounting systems to maintain consistency between documentation and financial records. Additionally, we are reviewing our internal controls and procedures to identify any process gaps and reinforce communication between HR, Payroll, and Finance teams. Going forward, we will enhance oversight to ensure that updates related to employee funding sources are promptly recorded, which will help maintain accurate grant reporting and compliance with applicable regulations The anticipated completion date of this action is August 1, 2025. If the Health Resources and Services Administration has questions regarding this plan, please call Kenneth Shieh, Chief Administrative Officer at (718) 747-4367.

Therefore, the finding is repeated from the prior year. Anticipated Completion Date: Completed

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions A. Improved Documentation for Basis of Cost Allocation for Employee Time Charges Per the Associate Director of Contract Accounting, the Foundation reviewed all the invoices on the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2025 and noted that there were no other adjustments made relating to the invoices within the audit year ended December 31, 2024. To further strengthen internal controls for reimbursement requests, the Foundation will implement the following procedures: 1. Prior to submission of reimbursement requests to the funder, the Contracts Manager for each grant will review the supporting documents and invoice template to ensure only final and fully supported data is invoiced. 2. Continue the practice of reviewing salary costs allocated to each grant in the payroll system, with the percentage charged to the funder to ensure only fully supported costs are billed. B. Improved Documentation of Routinary Reviews of Employee Hours Charged to Grants Per the Associate Director of Contract Accounting, the Foundation has a process to review staff allocated to a grant to ensure that hours and salary costs are allocated correctly at least quarterly, but also additional adjustments and reclasses may be posted at year-end to ensure completeness and that all expenditures are posted in the correct SEFA period as part of the SEFA review process. C. Timecards Lacking Employee and Manager Approvals Per the Associate Director of Contract Accounting, the Foundation has a process in place to ensure that employees and managers approve timecards every pay period and will continue making enhancements to this process to ensure that gaps do not occur subsequently.

Finding: 2024-057 - Insufficient documentation was available to support the manual transfer of time originally coded to another federal program to the TANF program. Questioned Costs: AL 93.558: $1,730 Assistance Listing Number: 93.558 Assistance Listing Title: TANF Views of Responsible Officials (state whether your agency agrees or disagrees with the finding; if you disagree, briefly explain why): The department does not agree with the finding. The Division of Public Assistance (DPA) met with CLA regarding the questioned costs which were explained and documented. For the sample selected, the employee did positive time keep to LDP U6615 - LIHEAP Policy for their time spent processing heating assistance applications. This was during a time when our Policy section was understaffed, and the administrative section absorbed programmatic duties. The division followed the State of Alaska’s payroll correction process. When IRIS-HRM (payroll) interfaced to IRIS-FIN (financial), the payroll transactions errored due to insufficient program budget. The Department of Administration, Division of Finance provides an erroring payroll transaction report. The departments are instructed to update the report with correct financial coding and send to a BOT email address. The BOT enters the correction in the State’s financial system and attaches the spreadsheet to document the update in coding. Department staff do not have permissions to add notes or additional attachments to the payroll transaction. DPA accounting staff reviewed the errored transaction and identified another allowable fund source to code these expenditures to. Therefore, the payroll expenses were adjusted and charged to the TANF program. Corrective Action (corrective action planned): Division of Public Assistance will enhance the process to review payroll transactions and document supporting information for changes. Completion Date (list anticipated completion date): The department anticipates the finding will be resolved in FY2025.

Finding 2024-002 – Allowable costs – payroll Assistance Listing #: 93.243 Condition: During fiscal year 2024, the Organization charged payroll costs to the federal award programs using a set percentage based on budget and not based on employee’s actual time or effort amongst various programs.

Finding 2024-001: Internal controls and adherence to compliance were not followed with regards to an appropriate level of approval of management that is charged to the Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Funds and the Food Cluster Program. The Problem: CEO timesheets were not reviewed or approved by our Board of Directors in 2024 so proper oversight was not being done. Corrective Action: The procedure we had in place was that our Board Chairperson would review and approve our CEO timesheet entries each payroll period. This procedure was followed in prior years. In January 2024 the Chairperson changed to a new Chairperson and this person did not receive proper training on how to approve the CEO timesheet. When the auditors brought our attention to this situation in March of 2025, we immediately contacted the current and previous Board Chairs, HR Director, and Interim CEO. They worked together to train the present Board Chairperson on how to access the CEO timesheet entries, review them and approve them in a timely manner. This process is being used every pay period and our reports show that all timesheets are approved. We also printed out all timesheets going back to January and had the Board Chair review and sign those copies. Going forward we will be sure that proper training is done when there is a change in either the Board Chair or the CEO/Ed position.
