ACT FOR ALEXANDRIA MANAGEMENT CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 TO: MARCUM LLP 1899 L Street NW, Suite 850 Washington, DC 20036 Finding 2022-001: Revenue Recognition ? Conditional Contributions; Finding 2022-002: SEFA Preparation Condition and Context: During our audit, we identified a conditional contribution that ACT had recorded as revenue upon receipt of the advanced funds and before the applicable barrier to recognition had been satisfied. In addition, the full amount of advanced funds was presented on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA). As a result, net assets without donor restrictions were overstated in the financial statements and expenditures were overstated on the SEFA. Recommendation: We recommend management review policies and procedures over contributions received to ensure timely and effective review for any barriers to recognition and over preparation of the SEFA to ensure completeness and accuracy of the SEFA. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: ACT agrees with the finding and the auditors? recommendation. One ACT?s fiscal sponsorship funds received advance payments of conditional awards. This is a rare circumstance. As a result, there was a learning curve on our part related to when fiscal sponsorship fund revenue should be recognized related to conditional award advances. Going forward, we will ensure that fiscal sponsorship fund conditional awards are reported as revenue and expense only once barriers are fully satisfied. This will allow for accurate reporting for both financial statement and SEFA purposes.

Finding 2022-006: Federal Financial Reporting Requirements (Significant Deficiency) Information on the Federal Program: U.S. Department of State ALN 19.040 Criteria or Specific Requirement: Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 200.303(b) requires non-federal entities to establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provide reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the federal award. CFR Section 200.502(a) states that the determination of when a federal award is expended should be based on when the activity related to the federal award occurs. CFR Section 200.510 states that the auditee must prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards 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. Condition: The schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended December 31, 2022, did not originally include indirect costs totaling $43,632. Cause: FCE's management prepared the schedule of expenditures of federal awards using only direct costs. However, FCE had applied the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate when submitting its financial reports. Effect or Potential Effect: The exclusion of indirect costs caused inaccurate amounts to be reported in the SEFA at the start of the audit. This could have caused an inaccurate major program determination. Recommendation: FCE should implement a process for preparing the SEFA that includes comparing amounts reported in the SEFA to amounts included in financial reports of expenditures that are submitted to federal agencies. Action Taken: FCE acknowledges the importance of proper Federal Financial Reporting. FCE will develop and implement formal accounting policies and procedures to ensure that Federal Financial Requirements are met. These will include the steps to follow for preparation of the SEFA, including comparing amounts reported in the SEFA to amounts included in financial reports of expenditures that are submitted to Federal agencies.

Audit Period: Fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 The findings from the June 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule of findings and questioned costs. Findings - Financial Statement Audit MATERIAL WEAKNESS None Reported SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY None Reported Findings - Federal Award Programs Audit MATERIAL WEAKNESS None Reported SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY None Reported Water and Waste Systems -ALN: 10.760 Finding: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Preparation Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented to ensure completion of an entry to the Schedule of Federal Expenditures of Federal Awards to achieve a reliable reporting of total expenditures for an audit period. Action Taken: We acknowledge our responsibility to present the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and related notes in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. To ensure future implementation of this requirement, the City of Cave Spring will record all expenditures on the schedule of federal expenditures.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 Finding No. 2022-002: Incomplete Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards- Material Weakness and Material Noncompliance Finding: During our audit, we identified a grant that is required to comply with the applicable requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 and thus should have been included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Once this grant was properly included, the Organization exceeded $750,000 in qualifying federal expenditures thus meeting the requirement for a Uniform Guidance audit to be conducted. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Management has hired a Director of Grants Financial Management who is heading a team to ensure effective management and compliance with all awards in the agency. In addition, management has acquired an award management system and implemented new processes to identify Federal awards. These processes consist of (1) clearly identifying Federal awards on the new Grant Code Form, (2) conducting new award kick-off meetings within the Awards Management, Budget, and Compliance team, and (3) tracking all awards on an award and contracts matrix, as well as in the new awards management software system. For each new award, a Grant Code Form is created. The form allows the Awards Management, Budget, and Compliance team to direct the Accounting team to create a grant code for tracking purposes in the accounting financial system. When the Awards Management and Budget team complete the form, the grant will be clearly identified as a federal grant. In addition, when KIND receives a new award, the Awards Management, Budget, and Compliance team conduct kick-off meetings within the team to discuss award financial, programmatic and compliance requirements. During this meeting the team completes an awards summary template that clearly identifies an award as a Federal award and any related compliance and other requirements. In addition to the processes mentioned, the Awards Management, Budget and Compliance team has created a new contracts and awards tracking matrix. The awards tracking matrix identifies Federal grants, along with any related award requirements and other identifying information. This matrix is maintained and updated by the Awards Management, Contracts and Compliance Officer and reviewed by the Director, Grants Financial Management on a regular basis. The review includes existing procedures related to awards management and monitoring of processes. This is on-going and already in progress. In addition to the above-mentioned processes KIND will do the following: continuously review existing processes around clearly identifying Federal awards and make adjustments to strengthen internal controls as needed; review and discuss with the awards management software vendor, additional improvements that can be made to the system to better identify and report Federal awards and review the current awards matrix and make additional improvements that will better identify and track Federal awards. Name and Person Responsible: Rochelle Quillman, Director of Grants Financial Management Expected Completion Date: October 31, 2023

FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDIT U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2022-001 Noncompliance and Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance: Requests required to complete the audit were not submitted within sufficient time to allow for audit and reporting prior to the deadline. The following errors and missing required elements were noted and corrected as a result of auditing procedures on the SEFA: ? Expenditures under agreement MHC-22-322B under CFDA 93.665 were not included. ? Expenditures under agreement CBH-22-1003A under CFDA 93.958 were not included. ? Expenditures under Period 4 of Provider Relief Funds (PRF) were included in error. ? There were two instances of COVID-19 programs that did not include the appropriate prefix. ? Subtotals were not included for the following CFDA numbers 93.958; 93.104; and 93.243. ? Expenditures under agreement CDM-21-4462A under CFDA 93.243 were shown included under CFDA 93.959 in error. Recommendations: Management should seek additional training for the fiscal department on preparation of the SEFA standards. In addition, review processes over the SEFA should be strengthened. Both the preparer and reviewer should have a clear understanding of the required minimum elements. As part of the review, all required minimum elements should be vouched to original source documents including copies of awards, reporting, and the trial balance. Any inconsistencies should be resolved before beginning the audit. The compliance supplement should be reviewed for reporting guidance on new Federal programs. Responsible Person for Corrective Action: Timothy D. Floyd, Chief Financial Officer Management will seek additional training in preparation of the SEFA and the applicable standards. The anticipated completion date for this corrective action is December 31, 2023. If the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has questions regarding this plan, please contact Timothy D.

Finding Reference Number: 2022-001 Description of Finding: The auditee omitted a federal award under SEMI Foundation with current period expenditures of $240,245 in its preparation of the 2022 SEFA. The SEFA was, therefore, incomplete and impacted the federal audit applicability determination as well as the auditors? major program determination. Corrective Action: The Organization concurs with this finding and provided the current period expenditures of federal awards on a consolidated basis. The organization provided specific information to support its position. We misinterpreted the reporting obligation for the award on the SEFA. We initially planned to first report the award when cumulative expenditures recognized under the award reached the reporting threshold on a stand-alone basis. We stand corrected on our understanding of its obligation to report on the SEFA report and evaluated the consolidated federal expenditures of all awards and their lifetime value against reporting threshold. Each award included in the evaluation that meets or exceeds the reporting threshold is to be first reported in the year of grant. In compliance with 2 CFR 200.514, we recognize that the SEFA report must be looked at the group level and cover the entire operations of SEMI and be presented in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have coordinated with the appropriate staff to update their understanding and have reinforced our report review process accordingly. In addition, we will include this information in our periodic staff trainings to ensure future compliance. Name of Responsible Person: Kevin Bauer Anticipated Completion Date: The Organization anticipates completing the corrective action by July 31, 2023.
