Corrective Action Plans

The School District will review the Uniform Guidance requirements and ensure all expenditures are accurately reported on the School District’s Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.

Finding Number 2024-020 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) acknowledges they did not implement the proper internal controls and oversight of the ERA Program during FY2024. However, OMES has taken steps to correct these findings and has followed the recommendations set forth by SAI as evidenced in the Recommendation section of 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, OMES-GMO 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 2024-039 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 Office of Management Enterprise Services – Grants Management Office Response: The Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services – Grants Management Office (OMES-GMO), in coordination with the OMES Financial Reporting Unit (FRU), agrees that strengthened controls and enhanced processes are necessary to ensure the accurate preparation and reporting of expenditures on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). However, because the SFY 2023 Single Audit was not issued until August 2025, the recommendations from that audit could not be fully implemented prior to the completion of the SFY 2024 SEFA reporting process. OMES FRU worked with the agencies identified by the State Auditor's Office to review and, where appropriate, amend their FY2024 GAAP Package Z submissions. Any necessary revisions to the FY2024 SEFA have been made to ensure federal expenditures are reported accurately and in accordance with applicable federal requirements. OMES FRU reviewed agency-specific exceptions identified during the audit to validate reported expenditures and supporting documentation. In FY2025, OMES FRU implemented additional internal controls designed to improve the completeness and accuracy of SEFA reporting. These enhancements include revisions to the GAAP Package Z template that require agencies to reconcile reported federal expenditures and cash balances to the Summary of Receipts and Disbursements (SRD) reports. OMES FRU reviews these reconciliations against PeopleSoft financial data to identify discrepancies before the statewide SEFA is finalized. Additionally, OMES FRU has established annual SEFA reporting training for agency personnel responsible for federal financial reporting. The training addresses SEFA reporting requirements, completion of the GAAP Package Z, reconciliation procedures, and documentation expectations to promote consistent application of federal reporting requirements across all state agencies. Collectively, these enhancements strengthen statewide internal controls over SEFA preparation and reduce the risk of reporting errors in future fiscal years. Agency 055 – Oklahoma Arts Council The agency submitted a corrected FY2024 SEFA to the State Auditor's Office on February 17, 2026. Agency 060 – Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics The Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics submitted a corrected FY2024 SEFA to the State Auditor's Office on February 10, 2026, correcting the CSLFRF reporting identified during the audit. Agency 452 – Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) ODMHSAS concurs with the finding related to its FY2024 SEFA reporting for ALN 21.027. The agency determined the variance resulted, in part, from expenditures that were not assigned the appropriate Assistance Listing Number (ALN) and therefore were omitted from the original SEFA. ODMHSAS corrected the reporting and submitted updated information reflecting the proper CSLFRF expenditures. The agency will continue coordinating with OMES-GMO to ensure that future CSLFRF expenditures are properly identified, reconciled, and reported. Agency 585 – Oklahoma Department of Public Safety The Department of Public Safety concurs with the finding. The agency indicated that personnel turnover during the implementation of the award contributed to the issue and that staff were not aware the project should be administered as a federal grant. As a result, the Assistance Listing Number (ALN) was not established in PeopleSoft, and expenditures were not tracked using normal federal grant procedures. Additionally, CSLFRF reimbursements were received through transfers reflected on the Summary of Receipts and Disbursements rather than traditional federal reimbursement processes, making identification more difficult. DPS has acknowledged the reporting deficiencies and stated that corrections will also be made to its FY2025 SEFA. Agency 670 – J.D. McCarty Center J.D. McCarty Center determined the variance resulted from two expenditures that were not captured on the Summary of Receipts and Disbursements report used during SEFA preparation. The agency concluded the discrepancy could have been identified through a manual reconciliation of expenditures to the SRD report. An updated FY2024 SEFA was subsequently submitted to correct the reporting. Agency 800 – Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education CareerTech explained the variance resulted from a data entry error on a revised SEFA requested by the State Auditor's Office. While transferring data from the agency's reconciliation worksheet to the GAAP Package Z form, an extra parenthesis was inadvertently retained, creating a double-negative and overstating the adjustment. After the error was identified by the auditors, CareerTech corrected the report and submitted a revised SEFA. Agency 830 – Oklahoma Department of Human Services DHS concurs with the finding and determined that ARPA expenditures were omitted from the agency's payable calculation used in preparing the SEFA. Going forward, DHS will ensure all ARPA and other federal grant expenditures are included in its payable calculations. The Budget Director will review and approve the payables submitted for SEFA reporting, and CARE staff will notify Budget whenever a grant reflects no reported payables to ensure expenditures have not been omitted. Agency 835 – Oklahoma Water Resources Board The Oklahoma Water Resources Board acknowledges that certain cash transfers were incorrectly reported as federal expenditures on the FY2024 SEFA and that some expenditures were recognized in the incorrect fiscal year due to timing and cutoff issues. The agency noted that the underlying GAAP financial statements accurately reflect the PeopleSoft general ledger and that the issue relates solely to federal SEFA presentation. Management evaluated whether prior-year accounting records could be adjusted to better distinguish transfers from expenditures; however, OMES determined prior fiscal years would not be restated. The agency will work with OMES to ensure future SEFA reporting appropriately distinguishes cash transfers from federal expenditures and recognizes expenditures in the proper reporting period.

Finding 2024-002: Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, Material weakness/other matter noncompliance: Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Management will review its year-end processes and its grant-related internal controls with a specific focus on accrual-basis auditing requirements to ensure that such errors do not occur in the future. Anticipated completion date is June 30, 2025, by the Business Office, Anthony Corsi, Business Manager and Chief of School Business Official

To address the finding, the Authority has implemented corrective actions that include establishing a formal year-end SEFA preparation and review process involving Accounting and Grant Program Mangers; reconciling federal expenditures reported on the SEFA to the general ledger and year end accruals, reviewing active federal awards at fiscal year-end to identify eligible expenditures that may not have been reported; Revising the Grants Management Procedures Manual to formalize year-end cutoff, review, reconciliation, and approval procedures prior to SEFA issuance. These procedures will be incorporated into the FY26 year-end close and reporting process.

Reporting – Incomplete Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Recommendation: Management should implement procedures to ensure all grant agreements, loan agreements, pass-through award notices, and related amendments are reviewed by the finance department to determine whether they include federal funds. Management should also require communication between project management and finance personnel, perform a year-end reconciliation of loan draws and outstanding balances to the SEFA, and document review of the SEFA and related notes before issuance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to the finding: The Authority will strengthen controls over identifying and reporting federal funds. All grant and loan agreements, including amendments, will be reviewed to determine federal funding applicability. As part of this process, a Federal Funding Review Checklist will be developed and required for each agreement. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Lowel Kruger, Executive Director. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: December 31, 2024

To address the finding, the Authority has implemented corrective actions that include establishing a formal year-end SEFA preparation and review process involving Accounting and Grant Program Mangers; reconciling federal expenditures reported on the SEFA to the general ledger and year end accruals, reviewing active federal awards at fiscal year-end to identify eligible expenditures that may not have been reported; Revising the Grants Management Procedures Manual to formalize year-end cutoff, review, reconciliation, and approval procedures prior to SEFA issuance. These procedures will be incorporated into the FY26 year-end close and reporting process.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Finance Department will ensure an accurate SEFA in conjunction with the response for Finding 2024-002.

Organization Response: Management acknowledges the auditors’ comments, with the clarification below, and has taken the actions listed below. The overstatement noted in this finding was a misstatement. The omission noted in this finding references funds received from state and county agencies. Therefore, the funds were recorded consistent with the information and documentation provided by the pass-through entity (Cascade County) which did not clearly identify the original funding source as the federal entity. To ensure internal controls over funding sources and expense reporting, the grant award and processing policy has been reviewed and updated to include due diligence of original funding sources.

Finding No. 2024-001 Implement System-Based Tracking of Federal Expenditures Finding: During our review of the SEFA, we noted that CAIR-CA utilizes workbooks outside of its accounting software to track federal expenditures. The workbooks do not reconcile directly with the general ledger (GL), so management performs a separate reconciliation to support the SEFA amounts. This approach was similarly observed in the prior year's audit. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management concurs with the finding and has already updated the accounting system to incorporate grant-specific tracking codes to further align with federal reporting standards. Because the organization’s first single audit in FY2023 was conducted concurrently with the FY2024 single audit, there was limited opportunity for these procedural improvements to be reflected in the FY2024 single audit testing cycle. As a result, the impact of these changes will be more fully reflected in the FY2025 single audit, which is scheduled to commence this year. As part of a layered approach to internal controls, excel worksheets will continue to be used as a supplementary monitoring tool, providing an additional cross-check to the system-generated reports. Responsible person: Jackie Ramirez, Operations & Finance Associate Director Implementation date: November 20, 2025

Finding Number: 2024-033 Finding Name: Inaccurate Reporting of Federal Expenditures Finding Condition(s): The Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) did not accurately report federal expenditures under the Unemployment Insurance (UI) program. Additionally, the auditors noted IDES’ controls over reporting federal expenditures were not designed at a sufficient level of precision to ensure complete and accurate reporting in a timely manner. Name of Contact Person(s): Kelly McGrath, Manager of Accounting and Reporting – Illinois Department of Employment Security, Accounting Services Division Corrective Action(s): This was a one-time event, which resulted in a finding in two fiscal years, resulting from the return of unused funds on debit cards held by a bank. As of December 2021, the bank was no longer IDES’ debit card provider. The bank asked to return the unused funds and the United States Department of Labor (DOL) agreed we could. If this was to happen again, the IDES will now know how to record it properly. No further action is needed at this time. Proposed Completion Date: February 28, 2026 – Completed

Finding Number: 2024-028 Finding Name: Inaccurate Reporting of Federal Expenditures Finding Condition(s): The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) did not accurately report federal expenditures, including amounts passed-through to subrecipients, under the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) Cluster. Additionally, the auditors noted ISAC’s controls over reporting federal expenditures, including amounts passed-through to subrecipients, were not designed at a sufficient level of precision to ensure complete and accurate reporting in a timely manner. Name of Contact Person(s): Rolake Adedara, Chief Financial Officer - Illinois Student Assistance Commission, Finance & Accounting Corrective Action(s): The CCDF Cluster program ended as of June 30, 2024. Lapse period payments (reported on a cash basis) made to beneficiaries during the year ended June 30, 2025, have been properly classified, and are not included as payments to subrecipients on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Finding Number: 2024-014 Finding Name: Inaccurate Reporting of Federal Expenditures Finding Condition(s): The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) did not accurately report federal expenditures, including amounts provided to subrecipients, under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) Cluster, the Food Distribution Cluster (FDC), the Supplemental Nutrition for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) programs, the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the Child Care Development Funds (CCDF) Cluster, the Social Services Block Grants (SSBG), the Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse (SAPT) program, and the Disability Insurance/SSI (SSDI) Cluster. Specifically, the auditors noted differences between the expenditure amounts provided for audit by the IDHS and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) amounts reported to the IOC, differences relative to amounts provided to program subrecipients, the cash basis expenditures provided by the IDHS for audit procedures included accrued (not paid) expenditures, and amounts passed through to other State agencies from the IDHS provided by the IDHS for audit procedures included expenditures paid outside of the fiscal year. Finally, IDHS’ controls over reporting federal expenditures were not designed at a sufficient level of precision to ensure complete and accurate reporting in a timely manner. Name of Contact Person(s): Sarah Eves, Deputy Chief Financial Officer – Illinois Department of Human Services Corrective Action(s): The IDHS will hire additional staff to ensure accurate review, reconciliation, and presentation of its federal grant expenditure data. Additionally, the IDHS has written draft procedures that will include (1) the identification and exclusion of accruals from total expenditures, ensuring cash-basis reporting, (2) how to identify and include/exclude current and prior year vouchers in transit, and (3) the review and validation of federal expenditures (and subrecipient expenditures). Proposed Completion Date: June 1, 2026

Finding Number: 2024-006 Finding Name: Inadequate Process for Monitoring Interagency Program Expenditures Finding Condition(s): The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) does not have an adequate process for monitoring interagency expenditures claimed under or used to meet maintenance of effort (MOE) requirements of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) Cluster programs. Name of Contact Person(s): Sarah Eves, Deputy Chief Financial Officer – Illinois Department of Human Services Corrective Action(s): The IDHS will request quarterly certifications, control assessments, and program expenditure questionnaires for those agencies receiving funds from federal awards. Additionally, the IDHS will sample interagency expenditures and request that the agency provide supporting documentation for the expenses. This documentation will be reviewed by the IDHS to ensure that the expenditures meet federal program requirements. Proposed Completion Date: October 1, 2026

Other finding – SEFA Preparation Preparation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Assistance Listing 21.027 – COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Federal Agencies: Department of Treasury Recommendation: The Corporation should update its policies and procedures and internal controls to ensure accurate reporting of the Schedule as required by the Uniform Guidance. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the finding and recommendation. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Corporation established a centralized UMMS Office for Research and Sponsored Programs Administration (ORSPA) department in December 2025. The ORSPA department created a standard pre-award approval process for all sponsored proposals prior to submission or award acceptance. The pre-award approval process applies to all federal, state, local, private and commercial funding opportunities across all UMMS entities and covers new, renewal, resubmission and supplemental proposals. The establishment of a central intake process through one department, for all grants across the Corporation, enhances the controls to ensure complete and accurate reporting of the Schedule as required by the Uniform Guidance. Additionally, ORSPA and Corporate Financial Reporting implemented the following controls to ensure all expenditures of federal awards are included on the Schedule. These controls include:  Reconciliation of the grants from the pre-award approval process to the grants tagged in the accounting system;  Use of a specific grant identifier within the accounting system to track expenditures and revenue recognition and tag grants as federal, state or private funded;  Comparison of grant expenditures per the accounting system to the grant agreement;  Comparison of grant expenditures per the accounting system to the financial reporting submissions made to the federal agencies;  Certification from legal entity Finance Executives that the draft Schedule is complete and accurate;  Comparison of the prior year Schedule to the current year Schedule with further investigation around changes in grants and agencies included, and significant changes in the expenditures.

The City will ensure that all future expenditures are tracked and reported to the proper periods and recorded appropriately.

We have developed a communication procedure that any such project documents that are provided to the City of Vermilion Service Department or City Engineer reflecting revenue and/or expenditures related to work conducted in the City of Vermilion will be promptly provided to the Finance Office for any transaction recording required to have the dollars accurately reflected on our financial statements. This would include road work, water, waste water, storm water or other future project areas that may be included. Once received in the Finance Department, the funding status will be verified to determine if federally sourced. All federally sourced projects will be promptly recorded as revenue or expenses of the city as well as included on the SEFA for the year in question.

2024-006: Material Weakness and Noncompliance – Preparation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Statement of Condition/Criteria: The Code of Federal Regulations requires a non-federal entity to prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in accordance with CFR Section 200.502(a) and must reconcile amounts reported in the SEFA to the amounts reported in the auditee’s financial statements. Planned Corrective Action: County management will develop a closing process to ensure all federal expenditures are identified, recorded, and reconciled on the SEFA. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Emily DeSalvo, County Administrator Anticipated Completion Date: March 2026

The Authority will develop and implement a standardized fiscal year transition and grant charging process to ensure controls are in place for accurate and timely recording of grant eligible expenditures. As part of this process, WMATA will develop a verification checklist for all funding source reclassification journal entries to ensure compliance prior to posting. This process will: - Identify all stakeholders responsible for year end grant reconciliation and reporting. - Establish a required review and approval process to be completed before any change in funding source or charging mode. - Update Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual to include guidelines to limit reclassification of expenditures incurred in prior fiscal years. - Set a formal annual cut-off date for Program Offices to request current year funding source reclassifications, allowing sufficient time for the Funds and Grants Management team to review and meet fiscal year end reporting deadlines. - Refine current monitoring mechanism for “yet‑to‑bill” transactions throughout the fiscal year for transferred transactions that originated in the general ledger to ensure all federal expenditures incurred within the period are reviewed and reported in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting. - Ensure the requirements for eligibility of expenses for Federal grants from 2 CFR 200.403 are enforced.

Understated SEFA (Material Weakness) Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: BGCA State Alliances Fiscal Team (Shelby Mahoney) Corrective Action: Management will enhance controls over the preparation and review of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) to ensure completeness and accuracy in accordance with Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200). Corrective actions include: - Establishing a formal secondary review and approval process by management prior to submission to the auditors. - Maintaining detailed supporting schedules that reconcile the SEFA to the general ledger and grant documentation. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

While PCRI does have systems in place to adequately track federal expenditures, the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards was delayed in large part due to the deficiencies outlined in Finding 2024-001, which led to delays in accurately compiling the information required for the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. The transition of relevant accounting processes to the outsourced accounting firm will resolve this deficiency going forward. The timeline for full transition of relevant accounting processes to the outsourced accounting firm which started in January of 2025 was approximately twelve months due to the complexities of PCRI’s operations. PCRI has completed this transition as of December of 2025.

2024-001 – SEFA REPORTING Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization implement additional controls over financial reporting, including the SEFA, to ensure accuracy of financial data. Action Taken: • RVCDS will utilize a checklist, updated monthly by the Director of Finance, to track federal awards received. o The checklist will be reviewed quarterly by the Compliance Specialist and/or Director of Compliance. • The Director of Finance will complete a reconciliation between grant records and the general ledger quarterly to ensure all federal awards are captured. o Reconciliation reports will be reviewed by the Executive Director. o The Compliance Specialist and the Director of Compliance will review the reconciliation reports each quarter for accuracy. • A SEFA checklist will be created that includes assigned monthly, quarterly and year end responsibilities. The checklist will indicate each position’s assigned responsibilities and due dates for entries and compliance reviews. • The following staff will attend training on SEFA requirements under 2 CFR 200.510(b): o Executive Director o Director of Operations o Director of Finance o Director of Compliance o Compliance Specialist o Finance Clerks

Finding #2024-003: Internal Control Over Compliance and SEFA Reporting Contact Person Responsible: Jennifer Patrick, Project Manager Milk River Joint Board of Control Corrective Action Planned: 1. Develop SEFA preparation procedures, including grant identification, Assistance Listing Number verification, and reconciliation to the general ledger. 2. Establish a dual review process where the SEFA is reviewed and approved by a party independent of the preparer prior to submission to auditors. 3. Perform an annual reconciliation of SEFA totals to audited financial statements before audit fieldwork. Completion Date: This item was corrected during the 2024 audit process. A tracking spreadsheet has been implemented for 2025 to ensure proper identification, classification, and reporting moving forward. This control will remain in place as an ongoing activity for all federal funding to ensure continued compliance with reporting requirements. Disagreement with Finding: MRJBOC agrees with the finding; however, we would like to clarify that the reporting discrepancy was primarily the result of timing and classification factors. Specifically, certain funding initially received through the State of Montana was not identified as federal pass-through funding until after the SEFA was completed. Once it was determined that the funding required federal reporting under SEFA guidelines rather than state grant reporting, adjustments were necessary to properly reflect the award information. MRJBOC recognizes the importance of accurate grant identification and reporting and will implement the corrective actions outlined to strengthen internal controls, grant tracking procedures, and SEFA preparation processes moving forward. We have also taken steps to ensure a clear understanding of the findings and will continue to monitor and address them in future fiscal years. I certify this Corrective Action Plan has been prepared in accordance with 2 CFR §200.516 and addresses all audit findings for the year ended December 31, 2024.
