2025-001: Insufficient Controls Over Monitoring Federal Expenditures and SEFA Preparation (Significant Deficiency) The City concurs with the finding and will strengthen controls over monitoring federal expenditures and preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). The Finance Department will implement centralized oversight of federal grant activity and maintain a grant tracking schedule to monitor cumulative federal expenditures by program, including reimbursements and receivables. Departments administering federal programs will be required to report grant expenditures to Finance, and periodic reconciliations will be performed between departmental records, reimbursement requests submitted to the pass-through agency, and amounts recorded in the general ledger. At year-end, the Finance Department will prepare the SEFA and perform a formal management review to ensure all federal expenditures are complete and accurately reported and evaluated against the Single Audit threshold in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Personnel involved in grant administration will receive training on applicable Uniform Guidance requirements to support compliance with federal reporting and monitoring requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: June 2026

Ignacio School District has already taken steps in changing the overall process of managing our Federal Award grants and overall year-end closing entries. The district will be working closely with our new auditors to ensure that Single Audits are completed annually moving forward. Our district has implemented scheduled monthly Requests For Funds and budget reviews for each grant to confirm that the grants are being spent according to their approved applications. The Superintendent and Finance Director meet to review the overall process to ensure grant compliance. This includes, but is not limited to assuring that the district charges a de minimis indirect cost rate and submitting End of Year reports to CDE. The district has assigned responsibility of Federal Grant oversight to new personnel. To assure a segregation of duties, there are three district office personnel involved in the management and oversight of the grants. The district has also been trained on proper closing entry procedures for all year-end closing entries and year-end Annual Financial Reporting of grants.

Corrective Action Planned: The auditee acknowledges that it did not have adequate procedures in place to identify all federal funding sources, track cumulative federal expenditures, and determine the applicability of Single Audit requirements.• Federal Funding Identification Procedures: Establish formal procedures to review all grant agreements, contracts, and funding documents to identify federal funding sources, including Assistance Listing (ALN) numbers and pass-through entity information. • Centralized Tracking of Federal Expenditures: Implement a tracking mechanism ( e.g., spreadsheet or accounting system enhancement) to record and monitor all federal expenditures by program throughout the fiscal year. • Periodic Monitoring of Single Audit Threshold: Perform quarterly reviews of cumulative federal expenditures to determine whether the dollar threshold (currently $1 million) for a Single Audit has been met. • SEFA Preparation and Review Controls: Develop a standardized process for preparing the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA), including a supervisory review to ensure completeness and accuracy prior to issuance. • Training and Awareness: Provide training to key personnel involved in financial reporting and grant management on Uniform Guidance requirements, including SEFA preparation and Single Audit thresholds. Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2026 Planned Monitoring and Follow-Up: Management will periodically review compliance with the new procedures and controls to ensure that all federal funding is properly identified, tracked, and reported, and that Single Audit requirements are evaluated timely.

Name of Contact Person: Karen Gillis Corrective Action Plan: As mentioned in the corrective action plan for finding 2025-001, we have instructed our attorney’s office to develop language for the new Subaward Agreement outlining a new process for verifying single audit requirements and how we will follow up on any findings identified in audits associated with our subrecipients. Our process will identify the level of risk as well as a criterion for evaluating risk, a timeline for our request and review of audits and a correspondence schedule to include monitoring a subrecipient’s adherence to corrective action plans. In the end, BSFA will have a policy and process to annually assess subrecipient federal expenditures to determine single audit requirements, obtain and review subrecipient audit reports, including follow-up on any findings, document management decision and track corrective action until resolution.

Finding 2025-010 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) AL No. 14.241 Housing Opportunity for Persons with AIDS Material Weakness in Internal Controls and Noncompliance over Subrecipient Monitoring Repeat Finding: Yes; 2024-014 Auditee’s Corrective Action Plan: MOHS will enhance and formalize subrecipient monitoring procedures to ensure full compliance with Uniform Guidance requirements. Subrecipient agreement templates will be revised to require inclusion of the subrecipient’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN) for all subawards, in accordance with 2 CFR §§25.300 and 200.332. MOHS has previously developed subrecipient risk assessment and monitoring tools for the Continuum of Care (CoC) program. These tools and procedures will be reviewed, updated as needed, and expanded to apply to all MOHS grants, including HOPWA. This includes documented risk assessments, monitoring plans, and verification that required Single Audit reports are obtained, reviewed, and retained when applicable. MOHS will maintain centralized subrecipient monitoring files containing executed agreements, audit reviews, monitoring documentation, and follow-up actions. Program and fiscal staff will receive training on updated subrecipient monitoring policies and documentation standards to ensure consistent implementation across all funding sources. MOHS will utilize the GMO’s subrecipient monitoring templates provided on their centralized SharePoint platform which include risk assessments, reporting forms, expenditure forms, and metrics forms to ensure all required subrecipient monitoring reporting is completed. Additionally, MOHS will require all grant staff to attend GMO monthly trainings and quarterly grant monitoring meetings to ensure subrecipient monitoring is being conducted and completed. MOHS will also require all grant staff to familiarize themselves with Administrative Manual policy 413-51 Subrecipient Monitoring and Management, which specifies all city-wide requirements for subrecipient monitoring. MOHS will maintain copies of all subrecipient monitoring documents in Workday, the City’s financial system.

Further, OMH initiated an expense report process to review award specific expense reports for the Mental Health Block grant in SFY2024-25. Additionally, while a formalized risk assessment was not conducted, one has been developed to assess subrecipient risk of noncompliance. This risk assessment will be used in conjunction with the review of award specific expense reports to determine those subrecipients that need additional monitoring. Applicable policies and procedures will be updated as appropriate upon completion. Lastly, OMH has adopted a tracking mechanism that will be used to track and review all subrecipient single audit submissions during the upcoming review cycle.

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.

Finding Reference: 2024-004 Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions The Agency agrees with this finding and recommendation as presented. In some contexts, the Agency experienced significant turnover in the Finance department during the third quarter, and a new Finance Director was hired during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. The turnover in fiscal staff hindered the accounting processes and oversight that included journal entry review and postings and account reconciliations promptly. As a corrective measure to ensure adhering to a closing schedule and maintaining timely account reconciliations, the Agency reevaluated the fiscal department’s needs and hired new staff, including a finance director, accounts payable, part-time fiscal support specialist, and contracted with a CPA to assist with the following scope of work:  Review all trial fund balance processes.  Prepare a closing schedule that includes reporting and data processing deadlines.  Reconcile all balance sheet accounts in the general ledger chart of accounts.  Timely prepare and file all financial reports required by each award.  Work with the independent auditor to implement an interim audit fieldwork schedule to reduce required work subsequent to fiscal year-end.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions We acknowledge the finding regarding the delayed submission of the FY 2024 Single Audit Report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, and we appreciate the opportunity to provide our explanation and corrective action plan. To address this finding and prevent future recurrence, the following corrective actions have been initiated: Hiring of CFO Replacement: A qualified replacement for the Chief Financial Officer has been identified and is currently in the final stages of the hiring and onboarding process. This individual will assume responsibility for financial oversight, including audit preparation and timely submission of compliance reports. Interim Oversight and Delegation: In the interim period, the duties previously overseen by the CFO have been temporarily assigned to the Controller and Chief Executive Officer, with close coordination with the Finance Committee of the Board. This ensures proper oversight and continuity of compliance functions during leadership transition. Revised Internal Calendar and Milestone Tracking: An internal compliance calendar is being updated to reflect all critical reporting deadlines, including those under Uniform Guidance. Key deliverables (e.g., SEFA preparation, audit milestones, report reviews) will be tracked and monitored monthly by management to ensure deadlines are met. Enhanced Communication with Auditors: Management will work closely with external auditors to formalize an earlier schedule for yearend fieldwork, allowing for earlier identification of issues and timely resolution to support ontime audit completion. We have determined that the year-end single audit must start no later than January 31of the end of the year. Internal Controls Improvement: Hillcrest is enhancing its internal control framework (aligned with COSO standards) by documenting audit preparation procedures and establishing written protocols for contingency planning in the event of future staff turnover. Hillcrest Children and Family Center is committed to strong financial management, regulatory compliance, and transparency in all its operations. We view this incident as an isolated disruption resulting from an unanticipated leadership transition and are taking proactive steps to strengthen our internal processes. We are confident that the corrective actions outlined above will ensure timely audit completion and reporting in future years. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Carroll Parks, Chief Executive Officer Planned completion date for the corrective action plan: The corrective action plan is currently active and will be moving forward.

Finding Reference Number: 2024-002 Condition Found: The Organization expended more than $750,000 in federal awards during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, but did not have Single Audits performed for those periods. Recommendation: The auditors recommend the Organization establish procedures to monitor annual federal award expenditures and ensure timely compliance with Single Audit requirements. Corrective Action Planned: Management acknowledges that the Organization did not comply with the Single Audit Act requirements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023. This was due to a lack of awareness regarding the Single Audit threshold requirements. The Organization has taken the following corrective actions: 1. Quarterly Review of Federal Expenditures: Internal procedures have been implemented to review federal expenditures quarterly to determine whether the Single Audit threshold of $750,000 (increased to $1,000,000 for fiscal year 2025) has been met. 2. Designation of Compliance Officers: The Director of Accounting and the Director of Finance have been designated as responsible for monitoring compliance with 2 CFR §200.501 and ensuring auditors are engaged annually. 3. Compliance Calendar: A compliance calendar has been established to track key federal filing deadlines, including submission of the Data Collection Form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. 4. Agency Notification: The Organization will contact the relevant federal awarding agencies to inform them of the missed audits for 2022 and 2023 and to seek guidance on any required remedial actions.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN July 10, 2025 Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit The Praxis Project, Inc. (the Organization) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2024. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: AAFCPAs, Inc. 50 Washington Street Westborough, MA 01581 Audit period: January 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024 The findings from the July 10, 2025 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS-FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS 2024-001 Schedule of Federal Awards Management Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization implement formal procedures to regularly track and monitor cumulative Federal expenditures across all departments, projects and programs. This should include a centralized review process on at least a quarterly basis to assess whether the Single Audit threshold is approaching or exceeded. Procedures should be updated to include: · Establishing a formal process to track all Federal awards on an ongoing basis, including grant numbers, Assistance Listing Numbers (ALNs), contract periods, award amounts, and qualifying expenditures. · Calculating Federal expenditures based upon expenses incurred rather than cash received or invoiced. · Assigning responsibility to a specific individual or department for maintaining the SEFA throughout the year. · Implement quarterly monitoring procedures to track cumulative Federal expenditures and proactively assess whether the Single Audit threshold is likely to be met. · Ensure that program managers and finance personnel are regularly trained to understand the reporting, compliance and audit requirements tied to Federal awards. Implementing these steps will improve the Organization's ability to meet Federal reporting deadlines and meet compliance and audit requirements. 2024-001 Schedule of Federal Awards Management (Continued) Action Taken: In response to the finding, we are taking the following corrective actions: · Effective June 24, 2025, the finance department will implement a standardized process for tracking all Federal awards. · We will ensure that all Federal expenditures are tracked and reported on an incurred-expense basis. · The responsibility for maintaining and updating the SEFA will be formally assigned to the Assistant Director of Finance. · Beginning in the next fiscal quarter, the finance team will conduct quarterly reviews of cumulative Federal expenditures to proactively assess our proximity to the Single Audit threshold. Findings will be documented and reviewed by the Sr. Director of Finance. · We will ensure program managers, finance personnel, and the FS Team are aware and understand Federal compliance, reporting requirements, and audit thresholds. We believe these actions will significantly strengthen our compliance framework, enhance transparency, and ensure that the Organization remains fully prepared for future audits.

Finding 2024-001: Significant Deficiency - Audit Completion and Submission to the Federal Government Compliance Area: Reporting (L) Based on the finding in the fiscal year 2023 audited financial report, the county commissioners set aside $100,000 in their budget to hire or contract with a CPA to assist with audit preparation. This was in addition to $30,000 set aside in the county treasurer's budget for audit consulting. The county commissioners hired an individual in September 2024. That individual left employement with the county in November 2024 and the position was not refilled through the end of fiscal year 2025. The remainder of the FY2024 audit preparation was completed in-house. Due to reductions in revenue and budget constraints, both the $100,000 allocation for a new employee and the $30,000 for consulting services were cut from the commissioners' and treasurer's budgets, so the county is pivoting on audit preparation resposibilities and expanding the number of in-house employees working on different facets of the preparation. With the exception of the CPA that was on staff for two months, the rest of the finance staff has been stable for at least two years and have grown in their knowledge of county finances. We are utilizing 6-7 different staff members on parallel tasks with oversight and assistance from the county treasurer and clerk.
