View of Responsible Official and Corrective Action The delay in the submission of the Data Collection Form was a direct result of the audit team moving to a new accounting firm and a miscommunication as to which firm was going to assist with the completion of the Data Collection Form. Management has taken steps to ensure that the Data Collection Form for the year-ended June 30, 2025 will be submitted timely. Upon identifying the late submission, management immediately completed the submission of the 2024 Data Collection Form and reporting package on August 12, 2025.

Management acknowledges the delay in submitting the Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The late submission was primarily the result of delays in the year-end financial close process caused by a vacancy within the accounting department and the additional time required to fill and train for that position. These staffing challenges impacted the timing of the audit and, consequently, the submission deadline. To address this going forward, management has strengthened its close process by reallocating responsibilities during staffing gaps, cross-training existing personnel, and ensuring adequate coverage for key accounting functions. Management has also implemented a compliance calendar and designated responsibility for monitoring all audit-related deadlines to help ensure timely preparation and submission of future reporting packages. All corrective actions will be fully implemented prior to the next audit cycle.

Response: The Organization realized its Single Audit requirement in September of 2025 and immediately made plans to fulfill its requirements. Going forward, the Organization will track federal expenditures contemporaneously in order to determine when a reporting threshold is tripped. This should allow the Organization enough time to comply with the applicable laws and regulations.

Heading Home management is in agreement with this finding. After years of turnover in key management positions steps have been taken to address staffing challenges and these positions have been successfully staffed with high-quality individuals who bring extensive knowledge and expertise to their roles. These positions include a new Chief Executive Officer, Director of Operations, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Human Services. To address challenges in accounting and finance Heading Home had contracted with a local CPA firm specializing in nonprofit accounting and financial reporting to assist the CFO with daily accounting tasks, the monthly close, financial reporting to management and the board of directors, and to facilitate and ensure audits are completed timely each year. The new management group is committed to maintaining a skilled and competent team in key financial roles. The FY23 audit was completed in May 2025 and the Heading Home’s accounting team anticipates the FY24 audit to be completed by November 2025. While this will once again result in a late filing, the new management team has made significant strides in a short amount of time and anticipates that the 2025 and all future audits will be submitted on or before the March 31st due date. Management anticipates the above corrective action plan to be fully implemented by November 30, 2025. Personnel responsible for ensuring implementation include Connie Chavez, Executive Director, and Debbie Brickman, Chief Financial Officer.

Enhanced monitoring and tracking. Assignment of oversight responsibility. Improved coordination with external auditors. Staff Training. Anticipation Completion Date: These corrective actions were initiated in the 2025 fiscal year and will be fully in place for the 2025 audit cycle, ensuring timely submission by September 30. 2026 Management Statement: Management believes these corrective steps will ensure full compliance with federal reporting requirements going forward and prevent recurrence of late submissions.
