Management's View and Corrective Action Plan Audit Finding for the Year Ended December 31, 2025 2025-001 – Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Reporting Significant Deficiency - Community Development Block Grant Cluster Entitlement/Special Purpose Grants Response Management agrees that the Community Development Block Grant Cluster Entitlement/Special Grant was not identified in the system as federally funded at the time of grant set up in 2024. During the preparation of the prior year Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (“Federal Schedule”), this award was omitted from the Federal Schedule since it was not identified as a federal grant within the grant listings. Management has implemented the following improvements: • Management will confirm federal grants with all government agencies the Association has received grants from each calendar year end • Retrain staff on identification of federal grants • Institute appropriate review procedures of the Federal Schedule Completion date: March 31, 2026 Responsible person contact name: Heather Livernois, Vice President, Finance/Chief Accounting Officer

April 1, 2026 U.S. Department of Justice Green River Regional Rape Vicitm’s Services, Inc. respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Alexander & Company CPAs PSC 2707 Breckenridge St., Suite 1 Owensboro, Kentucky Audit period: Fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 The findings from the June 30, 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 AUDIT DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 2025-001 16.575 Crime Victims Assistance Recommendation: Management should review all grant agreements for CFDA numbers and pass-through identification information. Management should reconcile the SEFA to the general ledger periodically throughout the year. Action Taken: Management has updated the SEFA process to incorporate safeguards.

Federal Program: 93.045/93.053, Department of Health and Human Services, Aging Cluster Condition per Auditor: The County did not maintain effective internal control over the reconciliation of expenditures reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) to amounts billed to the funding agency. Planned Corrective Action: The County has established procedures for reconciling general ledger activity to supporting documentation and Federal Financial Reports (FFRs/FSRs) throughout the fiscal year, including additional reconciliation procedures performed at year end to capture late or adjusting entries. The condition was further impacted by timing differences between departmental reporting and subsequent adjusting entries, as well as the aggregation of adjustments across multiple programs without sufficient program level detail at the time of review. While follow up was initiated to obtain supporting breakdowns, the process did not require resolution of these items prior to final classification and inclusion in year end reporting.The County is strengthening internal controls over grant related financial activity and SEFA preparation by enhancing and enforcing requirements for accurate transaction recording, supporting documentation, and independent validation.Key improvements include:• Enhanced documentation and classification requirements for grant related entries • Strengthened review and validation controls to ensure proper support and classification • Improved reconciliation and adjustment protocols, including post reporting revalidation • Control enforcement and escalation for unsupported or unresolved items • Training and guidance on federal compliance requirements Anticipated Completion Date: 9/30/2026 Responsible Contact Person: Shauntika Bullard

SEFA Reporting Significant Deficiency - Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A and B Management’s Views and Opinion Sunset Park Health Council, Inc. acknowledges the finding and agrees that the Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America — Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A and B grant should have been identified and reported as a federal award on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (“SEFA”) beginning with the applicable award period. Management notes that the omission resulted from the Assistance Listing Number (“ALN”) not being identified at the time of the initial grant setup, which impacted the subsequent classification of the award for SEFA reporting purposes. Once identified during the FY2025 audit process, management corrected the matter by including the cumulative federal expenditures under the award on the FY2025 SEFA. Management also notes that there were no questioned costs and that the omission did not impact the prior-year major program determinations. Sunset Park is committed to strengthening its grant setup, award identification, and SEFA review controls to ensure that all federal awards, including federal pass-through awards, are accurately identified, classified, and reported in accordance with Uniform Guidance. The corrective actions described below are intended to improve the completeness and accuracy of federal award reporting and to prevent similar omissions in future reporting periods. Corrective Action Plan: To mitigate this risk, the following controls and procedures will be implemented: 1. Quarterly Grant Review All active and new grants will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Director of Grants and Grant Accountants to ensure completeness and accuracy of key award data, including CFDA/ALN identification. Any discrepancies will be identified and corrected timely. 2. AAW (Award Authorization Workflow) Control All Award Authorization Work (AAW) forms submitted to NYU Research Data Management (RDM) will require review and initial approval by the Director of Grants prior to submission, confirming that all required fields, including CFDA/ALN, are complete. 3. RDM Submission Verification Each submission to RDM will require confirmation and acknowledgment that all award data has been properly entered and recorded for both new and existing grants. 4. Chartstring Verification Control As part of the chartstring distribution process, Grant Accountants will confirm that all relevant grant attributes, including CFDA/ALN numbers, have been accurately established and communicated to program teams. 5. SEFA and Interim Review Procedures During interim reviews and annual SEFA preparation, each Grant Accountant will verify that all assigned grants are properly classified as federal or non-federal and that all applicable CFDA/ALN numbers are included and accurately reported. Responsible Parties: • Director of Grants • Grant Accountants • NYU Research Data Management (RDM) Implementation Timeline: Full implementation of corrective actions by August 31, 2026 Training: Grants Fiscal staff will undergo CFDA/ALN identification and SEFA reporting training by August 31, 2026. Training will be recorded and incorporated into onboarding for new staff. Conclusion: These corrective actions strengthen internal controls over grant setup and reporting, ensuring accurate identification of federal funding sources and completeness of SEFA reporting in compliance with Uniform Guidance.

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.

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.
