VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS It is recommended, among other things, to establish internal controls that provide certainty, effective monitoring, data validation, and accountability for those employees who execute the reporting processes. To this end, the personnel responsible will be convened and written processes will be issued to expedite the information requests and ensure their rapid submission. This will be in accordance with both state and federal regulations. Once the agreements are finalized, they will be submitted to the auditing firm. IMPLEMENTATION DATE During Fiscal Year 2025-2026.

Planned Corrective Action: We have reviewed all billing codes and overrides and research ways to automate controls to apply sliding fee discounts consistently. The error was primarily due to COVID test cost CPT 87635 that was covered by the grants which was wet to ignore the slide. After the grants were closed no one managed this properly as the full charge was being charged to the patient. We performed internal reviews of billing for compliance. Reports were run identifying these patients and we applied the appropriate discount that was applied on a sliding discount at the time of service. NexGen is set to apply sliding fee discounts automatically based on file maintenance setting and patient chart setting. All CPT Codes that are set to slide fees are exempt under special programs and are being managed at the beginning and ending of these programs. Name of Contact Person: Ruth Cable, CFO and Lane Baker, COO Anticipated completion date: September 30, 2025 Managements Response: The District has reviewed the Independent Auditor’s recommendation. The District’s leadership is committed to developing processes to ensure all compliance requirements are met.

Re: 2023-001 Improve Internal Controls over Reporting This letter is in response to the above referenced finding in the FY2023 Single Audit. The Town acknowledges the lateness of the filing of the report for FY2023, which was due to a misunderstanding as to the requirements on the use of ARPA funds that were considered as the standard allowance for revenue loss. Similarly, a reporting delay also happened for FY2024. We have taken action to ensure the issue does not reoccur.

Procurement Auditor's Recommendation: FAM should ensure that the procurement policy subsequently implemented meets all the procurement standards outlined in the Uniform Guidance and should be followed for all purchases meeting the established thresholds. Corrective Action Taken: Management agrees with the auditor's recommendation. We encountered difficulties complying with this criterion because the grant was not awarded and under contract until over nine months after the grant period began. Longstanding vendor relationships were already in place and so costs were incurred prior to award knowledge. On a prospective basis, we will develop and adhere to a procurement policy that meets the procurement standards outlined in the Uniform Guidance including established thresholds. Corrective Action Completion Date: Subsequent to December 31, 2023, FAM has developed a procurement policy that complies with the Uniform Guidance requirements and will apply it to future grants with federal expenditures.

During our Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) Administrative Review, auditors provided technical assistance on using the Edit Check Report in Mosaic to avoid underreporting or overreporting meals. Since that review, we have implemented the use of the Edit Check Report to enter reimbursable meals in the MARS system instead of the Claim Report. This change improves the accuracy of meal counts and reimbursement claims. Additionally, we will establish a formal review process whereby a second staff member verifies montly claims before submission to further ensure accuracy and compliance.

Issue: Summary Condition: The Auditee submitted reimbursement requests to the Mississippi Department of Education (MOE) that were not fully supported: Standard monthly amounts requested for Digital Learning Instructor (DU) labor exceeded actual contract costs, resulting in overstatements. 1 of 60 items sampled lacked support for $11,700 in charges. Cause: The Consortium requested funds before receiving invoices or verifying actual expenses. There was no reconciliation process in place to verify that reimbursement requests matched actual expenditures. Effect: Federal funds were received in excess of allowable costs and not returned to the grantor. These excess reimbursements represent questioned costs which the grantor could request funds to be refunded. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.403 and 200.430, costs must be necessary, reasonable, and allocable, and adequately documented to be allowable under federal awards. Questioned Costs: Total known questioned costs are $49,082, which includes: $37,382 related to Digital Learning Instructor (DLI) contract labor, including $34,445 in excess labor charges and $2,937 in related indirect costs. These charges were identified through a 100% review of all DU contract labor activity for fiscal year 2023. $11,700 from a single reimbursement request that partially lacked supporting documentation. This item was identified during testing of a sample of 60 items totaling $6,545,759.87. Response: The Consortium acknowledges the finding and agrees with the audit's assessment. The practice of requesting reimbursement based on estimated monthly amounts without timely reconciliation to actual expenses was not in alignment with federal cost principles under 2CFR 200.403 and 200.430. We recognize that this oversight led to the disbursement of excess federal funds, and we are committed to promptly resolving this issue and implementing strong internal controls to prevent recurrence. Corrective Action Plan: Reconciliation Process Implementation: We have implemented a formal reconciliation process to ensure reimbursement requests are in line with actual cost. This includes reviewing all invoices and matching them to amounts requested. Return of Excess Funds: We are identifying and preparing to return any excess federal funds that were distributed as a result of these overstatements, as part of our reconciliation review. Corrective Action Timeline: The reconciliation process was initiated in June 2025. The return of fund to Mississippi Department of Education will begin with sending the audit report to MDE and getting directions on how to return overstated funds. Responsible Individuals: Mark Brown, business manager, is leading the implementation of the corrective action measures, in collaboration with Projects Coordinator, Susan Scott.

Finding 2023.004 - Allowable Costs/Activities Allowed or Unallowed Recommendation The Center should establish a system of internal controls to ensure that all cash disbursements are properly approved. Action Taken I will work directly with the Chief Executive Officer, Alexis Charpentier, to develop written policies requiring cash disbursements to follow a clear, tiered approval process based on the amount. For example: • Up to a set threshold: Department manager approval • Above threshold: Department manager plus finance director/CFO approval • High-value disbursements: Additional executive or board-level approval. Requiring supporting documents (invoices, contracts, purchase orders) for every disbursement. Approvers must verify accuracy and completeness before authorizing payment. If there are any questions regarding this plan, please e-mail Yumiko Molden at ymolden@waikikihealth.org. Sincerely, Yumiko Molden CFO

Finding 2023.003 - Special Tests and Provisions - Sliding Fee Scale Documentation Recommendation The Center should establish a system of internal controls to ensure that all sliding fee discounts are properly calculated and supported based on family size and income. Action Taken I will work directly with the Director of Clinical Operations, Kei Wee, to conduct a comprehensive review of the Center's existing sliding fee scale policy to ensure alignment with federal guidelines and best practices, clarifying documentation requirements, including acceptable forms of income verification and definition of family size. The Clinical Operations Director, Kei Wee, will develop and implement a step-by-step standard operating procedure (SOP) for staff to consistently assess and apply sliding fee discounts. The SOP will include clear instructions for verifying documentation, calculating discount eligibility, and recording determinations in the patient's record. The Clinical Operations Director, Kei Wee's management team, will conduct monthly spot audits of a sample of sliding fee files to verify correct application and documentation. The managers will report the findings to management for corrective follow-up and provide training for registration/front-desk staff and billing personnel on the updated policy and procedures as needed.

Finding 2023-003 - Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance (Qualified Opinion) - Inadequate Tracking of Expenditures and Retention of Documentation: Activities Allowed or Unallowed: Allowable Costs/Cost Principles and Reporting (A/B/L) for Assistance Listing Number 19.510 and 93.567 Criteria: The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 200.510(b) states in part, “The auditee must also prepare a schedule of federal expenditures for the period covered by the auditee’s consolidated financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 200.502.” Also, in accordance with CFR Section 200.302(b) - Financial Management, the auditees financial management system must provide 1) identification of all federal awards received and expended; 2) accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each federal award or program; 3) records that identify adequately the source and application of funds for federally‐funded activities; 4) effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets; 5) comparison of expenditures with budget amounts for each Federal award; 6) written procedures to implement the requirements of section 200.305 and; 7) written procedures for determining the allowability of costs in accordance with Subpart E and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Recipients of federal awards must submit accurate, complete and timely financial and performance reports. The Organization should have internal controls designed to ensure compliance with those provisions. The Organization should retain sufficient documentation such as invoice and allocation support for expenditures to retain documentation for audit purposes. Condition: During detail testing of expenditures, it was noted that the Organization did not maintain adequate documentation to support how certain costs were allocated to the federal program. Several transactions lacked sufficient detail, such as invoice or expense reimbursement form. Several expenditures selected for testing did not obtain sufficient approval by an individual at the Organization. It was noted that quarterly reports provided to the federal program were not reviewed by an individual at the Organization prior to submission to ensure accurate report of expenditures. Cause: The Organization does not have an adequate system in place to ensure quarterly reports have sufficient supporting documentation, proper approval/review, and accurate reporting prior to submission. Responsibilities for expenditure tracking were not clearly assigned, and there was no formal review process in place. The Organization is not following their Document Retention Policy. Effect: The effect of this condition increases the possibility that quarterly financial reports are misstated or inaccurate and increase the risk of noncompliance with federal requirements. The effect of this condition also increases the risk that expenditures are unallowable per the grant, federal regulations, or cost principles due to the insufficient support of proper approval retained. Questioned costs: None Repeat Finding: Yes - 2022-004 Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be in place to ensure quarterly financial reports are properly supported, accurately reported, and adequately approved and reviewed. A formal review process should be established to ensure compliance. The Organization should following the Document Retention Policy that was put in place and required by law. Management Response: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Management has taken steps to address these deficiencies in fiscal year 2025 including but not limited to: the implementation of a new accounting system that includes document retention and review/sign off logs, the engagement of a third-party CPA firm to provide client advisory and accounting services and the review and updating of accounting policies and procedures for best practices.
