FINDING 2023-002 (Auditor Assigned Reference Number) Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Summary of Finding: The Town's policies related to SLFRF suspension and debarment requirement did not include checking the EPLS for vendor suspension and debarment. All three covered transactions tested did not have documentation provided to show the vendor was checked for suspension and debarment. Additionally, the Town did not have a formalized procurement policy outlining its processes and procedures with regards to the procurement of goods and services using federal grant funds. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Matt Sumner Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 317-732-4532, msumner@whitestown.in.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: We will be more diligent in finding out if our grants are federal and what requirements they have for us to follow. We will check applicable vendors for suspension and debarment and implement a control/review over those searches. Anticipated Completion Date: November 1, 2024

The Organization secured Attain Partners, a professional services firm, to assist with grants management and reporting. Attain Partners reviewed the SEFA report, as well as the grantbudget, general ledger information, documentation, and drawdowns for the grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (CFDA 93.958) internally known as theSAMHSA R&R grant. They discovered that the budgets were submitted incorrectly, without requesting any indirect costs (IDC), which led to the grant being awarded without IDC. The FY23 draws totaled $2,094,362.95, while the FY23 expenditures recorded in the general ledger amounted to $1,754,696.48, excluding IDC, resulting in $339,667 in questioned costs. As the grant closed on 9/30/2023, the organization is unable to request reimbursement for the IDC. The Grants Management team will undertake a comprehensive revision of the existing policies and procedures and will develop new ones as needed. These policies and procedures will encompass the following processes to ensure proper levels of review and compliance with authorized drawdowns: • The Grants Management team will ensure grant budgets are submitted with the correct IDC and the award includes the IDC in the total amount. • The Grants Management team will ensure the IDC is calculated correctly and included in the drawdown amount. • The Grants Administrator and the Sr. Grants and Budget Analyst will reconcile the grant expenditures monthly to ensure the expenditures allocated to grants are documented, allowable and the drawdowns are equal to actual expenditures.

FINDING - FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2023-001 Head Start – Assistance Listing #93.600 Recommendation: The Organization should establish more defined written policies and procedures regarding credit card rebates that are in line with Uniform Guidance requirements, as well as establish organizational controls to ensure that such policies and procedures are being followed. Explanation of disagreement with audit findings: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The issue was recognized by management shortly after the close of the fiscal year. The entire balance of accumulated points was converted to gift cards. A historical analysis of the coding for all purchases charged to the credit card during the year under audit is being performed. A proportional amount of the total value of the gift cards will be credited to each federal award as a reduction of costs. This process will continue to be performed on a regular basis for the duration of the use of the credit card in question. Action Plan: OCDC will move to utilizing credit cards that do not have a rewards program. Inquiries have been made with OCDC’s banking institution regarding the available options. The policies and procedures surrounding the use of credit cards will be documented in writing, and anyone who is entrusted to use an agency credit card will be required to sign a document acknowledging their understanding of those policies and procedures.

Planned Corrective Action: The Foundation followed the express instructions of the State of Alabama, Department of Finance (the “Grantor”) to The Alabama Nursing Home Association Education Foundation (the “Foundation”), which permitted the Foundation to rely upon the certifications of nursing home applicants that the applicant had or will have sufficient unmet needs related to qualifying purposes due to the COVID‐19 pandemic to support the receipt of the various allocations of the herein described COVID‐19 Funds. Under the terms of the certification, each applying nursing home further certified that for ten (10) years it would maintain auditable records supporting the unmet need and use of the COVID‐19 Funds. This manner of requiring only a certification for the distribution to health care providers is consistent with the requirements the federal government used when distributing an array of emergency funding (e.g., provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds) to health care providers to meet the unmet needs caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic. The term “COVID‐19 Funds” means those funds the Foundation received from the Grantor with respect to (i) The CARES Act Corona Virus Relief Funds for the period from January 31, 2020, through December 31, 2021, and (ii) America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for unmet needs for qualifying purposes incurred or to be incurred during the period March 11, 2021, through December 31, 2024. To provide further assurance that the COVID‐19 Funds were properly applied by the nursing home beneficiaries receiving COVID‐19 Funds through the Foundation, the Foundation is working with its outside accountants and legal counsel to develop a look‐back review plan. The framework of the lookback review plan will be for each nursing home beneficiary that received COVID‐19 Funds to submit during the calendar year 2024, a worksheet similar to the period reporting worksheets that are required by the federal Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) to justify the COVID‐19 provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds received by health care providers. In addition to these HRSA type worksheets, a more in‐depth examination of a sample of nursing homes will be made by randomly selecting 10 nursing homes from a pool of the 30 nursing homes that received the most COVID‐19 Funds through the Foundation, plus another 10 nursing homes from the remainder of the pool of beneficiary nursing homes. These randomly selected nursing homes will be required to supply actual documentation supporting the COVID‐19 Funds received. This documentation will include invoices, payroll records, revenue journals, and cost reports. Among the provisions of the certifications submitted by each applying nursing home, is an acknowledgement that (i) the nursing home is subject to audit by the applicable State and federal agencies, and the Foundation, (ii) any COVID‐19 Funds received through the Foundation and not properly applied must be refunded, and the nursing home will comply with the requirement that it must maintain for ten (10) years auditable records supporting its use of the COVID‐19 Funds it received through the Foundation. In the event that it is determined that one or more nursing homes were unable to properly apply the COVID‐19 Funds to an unmet need for a qualifying purpose, those COVID‐19 Funds will be recouped and either redistributed to any nursing homes that are able show an unmet need continues to exist using a distribution formula consistent with past distributions of refunded COVID‐19 Funds, or returned to the Grantor. This redistribution or return to the Grantor will occur no later than December 31, 2024. Person(s) Responsible: John Matson, Executive Director

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN 2023-001 - Equipment and Other Capital Expenditure Type of Finding: Federal Award Finding and Questioned Cost Responsible for Implementation of Corrective Action Plan: Chase Palmer CEO & Cynthia Pinkerton CFO Estimated Date of Completion: December 2024 Actions to Address the Finding: Sunny Glen will continue to pursue formal written clearance from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) regarding the questioned vehicle lease expenditures. While prior email guidance and budget approvals have been received, Sunny Glen recognizes the importance of securing formal documentation from ACF to fully resolve this matter. We will: • Engage in direct communication with ACF to expedite the final determination process regarding the vehicle lease arrangements. • Submit any additional documentation, if requested by ACF, including lease agreements, budget approvals and prior communications. • Maintain a log of all communication and follow-up actions to ensure transparency and documentation of our efforts. Responsible Individual: The CFO, Cynthia Pinkerton, will be responsible for overseeing this corrective action plan and ensuring all steps are taken to resolve the finding. Timeline for Implementation: Sunny Glen will initiate this follow-up process immediately upon issuance of this report and will aim to secure formal written clearance within the next audit period, subject to response from ACF. Disagreement with Finding: Sunny Glen continues to disagree with the prior finding regarding the allowability of the vehicle lease expenditures. The lease terms were provided to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) as part of the budgeting process, and the amounts were approved as necessary and reasonable to facilitate the program. Email guidance was also received from ACF indicating the appropriateness of the lease arrangements. We believe the expenditures were appropriate and compliant with grant guidelines. Monitoring of Progress: The CFO will provide regular updates to management and the audit committee regarding the status of the corrective action and any responses from ACF. Sunny Glen will adjust its actions as necessary based on ACF's feedback to achieve full resolution.
