• The Fiscal Director position has not been continuously filled, and since COVID 19 it has proven difficult to hire qualified staff at the rate of pay offered by the Agency . The Fiscal Director is responsible for providing training and supervision to staff, and for completing such tasks as working with our Auditors and scheduling the annual audit. The Organization has hired a CFO for hire however, there are still sometimes difficulty in maintaining steady work flow, meeting deadlines and ensuring year end closing entries and reconciliations are completed timely. In addition, the Auditors contracted with the Agency have begun their reviews much later than they had pre-Covid, also lending to difficulty in meeting deadlines. • Community Action of Greene County Inc. will work to improve employee retention and engagement through coaching, training, wage equity, and improved Human Resource practices. • Community Action of Greene County Inc. will continue to incorporate automated accounting and payroll processes to improve the efficiency and accuracy of fiscal reporting. • A year end closing checklist and calendar has been developed and utilized by the fiscal staff as of Spring 2024. The completed checklist will be shared with the Executive Director following the close out period. • The Executive Director will schedule the Auditors to begin their reviews within 90 days of year end as a condition of their contract. • The Executive Director is responsible for ensuring this corrective action plan is implemented.

The Office of Mental Health (OMH) has updated the federal certification forms in March of 2022 for the MHBG COVID Relief and ARPA awards to include the following award identification information: federal fiscal year of award, federal award period, federal award identification number (FAIN), and federal award document number. The federal certification forms for the annual MHBG awards are created to align with each new Notice of Award (NOA) and include the same award identification information noted above. Due to the timing of when we received the Federal NOA’s in comparison to when the federal certification forms were distributed to sub-recipients, not all sub-recipients may have received the updated form in fiscal year end March 31, 2024. These revised forms were used for all subrecipients in SFY 2024-25. OMH will continue to amend the certification and applicable policies, procedures, and internal controls to incorporate all required identifying characteristics outlined in 45 CFR 75 Section 352 (a) in SFY 2024-25. Additionally, OMH initiated an expense report process to review award specific expense reports for all COVID Relief and ARPA federal grant subrecipients to ensure provider expenditures are following federal guidelines. This process will be rolled out to the other MHBG awards in SFY 2024-25. While a formalized risk assessment was not conducted, one has been developed to assess subrecipient risk of non-compliance. This risk assessment will be used in conjunction with the review of reward 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 subrecipients single audit submissions during the upcoming review cycle.

As noted, 1 of the 25 selections tested was not included in the Post-Award review of subrecipient Uniform Guidance reports. Following a comprehensive review, 12 subrecipients were identified as inadvertently omitted from the overall report data used to conduct the subrecipient Uniform Guidance report analysis for the year ended June 30, 2024. After identification of the missing subrecipients and completed prior to the issuance of this report, the University reviewed the 12 respective entities’ Uniform Guidance reports or appropriate documentation and determined that there was no impact on Tufts University and no follow-up was deemed necessary. By June 30, 2025, and on an annual basis, the University’s Post-Award office will utilize automated reports including the complete data set to review all subrecipient Uniform Guidance reports, consistently document report information, findings noted, and follow-up performed with the subrecipient, if necessary. The consolidated analysis will be reviewed by the Director of Post-Award Research Administration and the University Controller.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 2023-003 Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance 14.218 – Community Development Block Grant District of Columbia, Department of Housing and Community Development Contract Number: 2019-009 and 2010-38 Condition: The $200,000 predevelopment and $3,800,000 construction loans from the District of Columbia Department of Housing and Community Development were financed with federal funding. Management and the prior auditors were not previously aware of the federal funding source, and the loan had not been evaluated for applicable federal compliance requirements under OMB Circular A-133 or the Uniform Guidance since the inception of the agreement. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement a formal process to review all loan, grant, and financing agreements to determine whether funding is derived from federal sources and whether the arrangement is subject to federal compliance or single audit requirements. This review should be performed at inception of each agreement and updated at least annually, with documentation maintained in the Organization’s debt and contract repository and reviewed by personnel responsible for compliance and financial reporting. Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: In addition to the steps mentioned in the related finding above (2023-002), management has also engaged CliftonLarsonAllen LLP to catch up with any official disclosures related to this issue including single audit compliance and any related or resulting compliance disclosures remaining to be completed.

Finding No.: 2023-050 AL Program: 97.036 – Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) COVID-19 97.036 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Area: Subrecipient Monitoring Questioned Costs: $7,350,898 Contact Person(s): Patrick Guerrero, Governor’s Authorized Rep., PAO Corrective Action Plan: Condition 1-2: The CNMI Public Assistance Office (PAO) acknowledges and agrees with the compliance deficiencies identified regarding subrecipient monitoring and documentation requirements under 2 CFR §200.332 and has developed corrective actions to address these weaknesses. However, PAO respectfully disagrees with the questioned cost determination. The finding relates to deficiencies in monitoring procedures and documentation rather than the allowability, eligibility, or support for the underlying expenditures. The expenditures identified were associated Finding No.: 2023-050, continued AL Program: 97.036 – Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) COVID-19 97.036 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Area: Subrecipient Monitoring Questioned Costs: $7,350,898 Contact Person(s): Patrick Guerrero, Governor’s Authorized Rep., PAO Corrective Action Plan: with FEMA-approved projects and no specific costs were identified as unallowable, unsupported, outside the approved scope of work, or otherwise ineligible for federal participation. While PAO recognizes that monitoring documentation was insufficient to demonstrate compliance with subrecipient monitoring requirements, PAO believes the appropriate classification is a compliance finding without questioned costs. Accordingly, PAO respectfully requests consideration that questioned costs associated with this finding be reduced to $0. Subrecipient monitoring activities were historically performed alongside project management responsibilities and were not supported by a centralized tracking system. As the number and complexity of Public Assistance projects increased, monitoring activities, documentation, and audit follow-up procedures were not consistently performed or documented. In addition, delays in the completion of CNMI-wide Single Audits and limited responsiveness from certain subrecipients affected PAO's ability to obtain timely financial reports, audit reports, and supporting documentation. PAO is implementing corrective actions in phases to establish a sustainable and documented subrecipient monitoring framework. Phase I – Immediate Actions (Completed/In Progress) • Responsibility for subrecipient monitoring activities has been assigned to the Compliance Manager and Risk Officer to provide dedicated oversight independent of project management functions. • PAO has begun conducting biannual subrecipient risk assessments and documenting risk ratings for active subrecipients. • For nonresponsive subrecipients, PAO will maintain documentation of all attempts to obtain required information and will perform additional follow-up as appropriate. These records will be maintained as evidence of monitoring activities and due diligence. • Standardized monitoring checklists, risk assessment forms, audit review checklists, and follow-up procedures are being developed to improve consistency and documentation. Finding No.: 2023-050, continued AL Program: 97.036 – Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) COVID-19 97.036 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Area: Subrecipient Monitoring Questioned Costs: $7,350,898 Contact Person(s): Patrick Guerrero, Governor’s Authorized Rep., PAO Corrective Action Plan: • PAO will initiate a centralized tracking process using existing tools, including Excel spreadsheets and shared electronic files, to monitor: o Subrecipient risk assessments. o Financial and performance report submissions. o Single Audit report status. o Monitoring activities performed. o Corrective actions and follow-up requirements. o PAO will continue to document requests for financial reports, audit reports, risk assessment information, and other monitoring documentation. Supporting records, including request emails, follow-up correspondence, meeting invitations, telephone call logs, and responses received from subrecipients, will be retained to demonstrate monitoring efforts and follow-up actions. Phase II – Process Formalization • PAO will finalize written updates to the Subrecipient Monitoring Procedures establishing requirements for: o Risk assessments. o Monitoring frequency. o Financial and performance report reviews. o Single Audit follow-up. o Documentation retention. o Escalation procedures for nonresponsive subrecipients; and o Management review. • PAO will establish a formal Subrecipient Monitoring Register that consolidates monitoring activities, risk ratings, audit status, corrective actions, compliance deadlines, and follow-up actions. • Quarterly management reviews will be implemented to monitor completion of required monitoring activities, assess high-risk subrecipients, and address outstanding compliance issues. • PAO will establish formal procedures to review subrecipient Single Audit reports, verify reporting of FEMA-funded expenditures on the SEFA, document audit reviews, and track corrective actions resulting from audit findings. Finding No.: 2023-050, continued AL Program: 97.036 – Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) COVID-19 97.036 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Area: Subrecipient Monitoring Questioned Costs: $7,350,898 Contact Person(s): Patrick Guerrero, Governor’s Authorized Rep., PAO Corrective Action Plan: Phase III – Compliance & Monitoring Portal (Future Implementation) • Upon acquisition and implementation of Microsoft 365 resources, PAO will develop a centralized Compliance & Monitoring Portal to serve as the official repository for subrecipient monitoring records. • The portal will include electronic tracking of risk assessments, monitoring activities, audit findings, corrective actions, reporting deadlines, communication logs, and supporting documentation. • Automated reminders, management dashboards, workflow tracking, and document retention controls will be incorporated to strengthen oversight and improve monitoring documentation. These corrective actions will establish a documented, risk-based monitoring framework that improves oversight of subrecipients, strengthens documentation and audit trails, formalizes monitoring procedures, enhances accountability through dedicated compliance personnel, and improves compliance with the requirements of 2 CFR §200.332. Phase I – Ongoing Phase II – June 30, 2027 Phase III – Upon acquisition and implementation of Microsoft 365 resources and completion of staff training. Proposed Completion Date: June 30, 2027 (For Phase II). Phase I & II is Ongoing.

The County acknowledges the deficiency in internal controls over financial reporting. The transition to the Workday ERP system in 2023 resulted in delays and challenges in producing timely and accurate financial data. The County is strengthening reconciliation and review processes while continuing to refine system functionality and staff proficiency. Although the 2024 audit represents the first full year in the new system, some delays have continued. The County expects processes to stabilize and reporting timelines to improve, with full resolution anticipated in the 2025 audit cycle.

Trailhead is establishing a new Contract and Compliance Coordinator role to oversee contract compliance processes and to ensure that Trailhead’s policy on subrecipient monitoring is followed. This role will be responsible for ensuring that compliance requirements are integrated at the outset of each grant. This role will be responsible for internal monitoring and auditing. This role will ensure that all grant kick-off meetings follow a standard procedure and include: 1) A clear understanding of federal requirements for all involved fiscal, program, and compliance staff 2) Delegated assignments to program staff for implementing and documenting: a) Suspension and debarment prior to contracting with subrecipients b) Subrecipient vs contractor determinations c) Evaluation of each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance i) Establish the appropriate subrecipient monitoring level based on risk. This compliance role will have the authority to ensure the procedures are completed by the assigned staff. Evidence of the completed procedure must be documented and saved in a newly created contracts database. This database will be a centralized storage that will be reviewed during internal compliance checks to ensure all required steps have been completed and documented. These documents and associated grant and contract documents will be part of an official repository.

Finding Number 2023-014 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) ALN: 21.027 Federal Program name: Coronavirus State And Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) Planned Corrective Action Management Response The Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services – Grants Management Office (OMES-GMO) partially agrees with the finding. OMES-GMO acknowledges the importance of robust subrecipient monitoring in accordance with 2 CFR § 200.332(d) and (f), which includes ensuring that all subrecipients expending $750,000 or more in federal funds obtain a Single Audit, as required by 2 CFR § 200.501. OMES-GMO concurs with the identified inconsistency with agencies notifying subrecipients of the single audit threshold amount, despite having deficient tracking of the total of federal expenditures across all federal programs that an entity was engaged in. OMES-GMO holds a good faith belief that this deficiency on behalf of the agencies was the result of a lack of clarity; and ergo, a misinterpretation between individual program thresholds and aggregate thresholds across all programs in a fiscal year. Error may further be attributed to the limitations in tracking mechanisms, rather than a lack of awareness or intent to comply. OMES-GMO has followed up with each of the agencies named in the finding and has verified that, although subrecipient monitoring was in place, additional controls are needed to ensure accurate tracking of total federal expenditures and timely collection of required audits. Listed below are the corrective actions that have or will be implemented. Corrective Actions • Standardized Monitoring Procedures: OMES-GMO will issue updated subrecipient monitoring guidance to all state agencies administering federal funds. This guidance will include clear expectations for tracking total federal expenditures, identifying subrecipients approaching the Single Audit threshold, and documenting audit compliance. • Improved Tracking Mechanisms: OMES-GMO will work with agencies to assess their internal systems for tracking cumulative federal expenditures across funding sources, ensuring timely identification of entities requiring a Single Audit. • Ongoing Support and Oversight: OMES-GMO will incorporate further Single Audit compliance into established review processes. Agency-Specific Actions • Agency 619: Single Audits through 2022 have been obtained and archived. Requests for FY2023 audits have been issued, and responses are currently being collected. FY2024 audits will be requested no later than September 30, 2025, to allow sufficient time for completion and submission. • Agency 340: The Finance Division will begin tracking all subrecipient expenditures, including secondary recipients. Verification of Single Audit compliance will be incorporated into the agency’s annual site visits. • Agency 830: A process is already in place through the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to identify subrecipients exceeding the $750,000 threshold. All subrecipient contracts include language requiring submission of a Single Audit if the threshold is met. These audits are collected, reviewed, and stored accordingly. These corrective actions reflect OMES-GMO’s and the respective agencies’ commitment to strengthening internal controls, ensuring proper oversight of federal funds, and maintaining compliance with all applicable federal requirements.

Finding Number 2023-026 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) ALN: 21.019 Federal Program name: Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERA) Planned Corrective Action Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) acknowledges the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector Office’s (SAI) findings that OMES did not implement the proper internal controls and oversight of the ERA Program during FY2023. However, OMES has taken steps to correct these findings and follow the recommendations set forth by SAI. 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. • To ensure that the subrecipient agreement includes 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) have recently executed a 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. See Attached – Grant Agreement Amendment. (See page 15 of attached Grant Agreement.) • 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 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 OMESGMO 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 multi-layer 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. • Risk assessments have been obtained and are attached. • 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, OMES-GMO conducts biweekly monitoring meetings with CFO and is currently reviewing documentation provided by CFO to ensure all current ERA projects are eligible under the ERA guidelines and that CFO is exercising the proper oversight over their subrecipients. • OMES-GMO will continue with their current ERA monitoring steps and internal controls and will work with CFO to ensure ERA program funds are spent in accordance with ERA program guidelines and state and federal regulations.

Rural Coalition has implemented clear, standardized procedures for all program and services. We have also implemented a comprehensive review of current resource allocation and set in place a more effective budget management plan so the grant funds can be managed efficiently removing the reporting backlog we believe we will no longer face. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: In Fiscal Year 2023 we are still managing additional complex projects, and though we closed out our grant reporting and deliverables sooner, the delay in the start and therefore the completion of the FY 2022 still left us behind schedule. We completed the close out process much more quickly with new procedures in place, but we are still delayed. We also once again had an increased workload corresponding to additional grant funds, which coupled with the backlog we faced, we exacerbated the challenges surrounding this year’s year end closing process. We moved during late FY 2023 to a new credit card that allowed us to collect and code receipts as expenditures were made, and this helped us for 2024 get closer to a quicker closeout. Our FY 2024 audit is now underway and we believe for 2024 we will be able to complete the single audit in time to meet the deadline for submitting the single audit report to the Office of Management and Budget. We guarantee that in future years, the year-end closing will be completed earlier now that we have overcome the backlog and have developed and implemented the necessary systems. We also guarantee that we will start the single audit within 4 months after the fiscal year-end and that the single audit will be completed timely moving forward.
