Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: At the time of the transactions in question, the Organization operated under the understanding that multiple bids were required only for costs exceeding $50,000. The Organization was then provided updated guidance from our audit firm indicating that the correct threshold was $10,000. This shift demonstrates the complexity of interpreting and applying procurement rules. Since the beginning of the grant, the Organization has actively researched and sought clarification on the applicable purchasing and contracting requirements. Unfortunately, different sources provided conflicting thresholds and requirements. Based on the information available at the time, the Organization made a deliberate and well-reasoned decision not to seek multiple bids for certain expenditures. The grant funding source received full documentation for these costs, did not raise concerns, and reimbursed the expenses without issue. The Organization acted in good faith and in alignment with the guidance it had at the time of these purchases. To address this finding the Organization has implemented a revised procurement policy requiring multiple bids or sole source rationale for any purchases exceeding $10,000. Staff have been made aware of this threshold, and procedures are in place to ensure compliance moving forward.

2024-002 Special Tests and Provisions - Program Administration The Housing Authority of Okanogan County recognizes we had several oversights in our tenant file documentation and program administrative procedures during 2024. During April 2024, the Housing Authority of Okanogan County underwent a Comprehensive Compliance Monitoring Review review by the Seattle Field Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Their review report dated May 23, 2024 identified a number of findings and recommendations which were implemented in June and July 2024 by the Housing Authority of Okanogan County. The Housing Authority of Okanogan County provided the Seattle Field Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development supporting information documenting resolution and correction of each item identifi ed in thei r report. On October 30. 2024 Seattle Field Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a letter documenting that the Authority has fully remedied each finding.

While we acknowledge the auditor’s observation, management does not concur that the absence of formal timesheets equates to unsupported labor charges. Employees completed assigned responsibilities under the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education grant. Salaries were charged consistent with approved budgets and federal cost principles. During the audited (12-month) period, total payroll expenses allocated to the grant reflected actual performance of program activities as contracted. Accordingly, we believe the costs are fully allowable and the questioned amount of $40,495 is valid program expense. To address auditor concerns, we will utilize the documentation of program detail and timekeeping information within the Educator Tracker to accurately charge time and effort each pay period. The Educator Tracker will include all pertinent details including staff assignments, grant source per assignment, and supervisor approval. Anticipated completion: October 15, 2025. Responsible party: Kimberly Danon, Director of Youth Education.

orrective Action Plan Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: John Hunt Centra Health Corporate Director, Information Security and Disaster Recovery 561-613-7342 john.hunt@centrahealth.com Anticipated Completion date: December 31, 2025 Corrective Action: 2024-001 – Special tests and provisions: As part of our ongoing GLBA compliance efforts, we completed a comprehensive risk assessment on December 24th, 2024. The assessment identified and ranked risks based on likelihood and potential impact to sensitive financial and customer information. In alignment with GLBA’s requirement to safeguard non-public personal information, our program has prioritized remediation and monitoring efforts toward the highest-risk control items identified. Key focus areas include: • Implementing multi-factor authentication for all privileged access, including access to sensitive back-end IT equipment and web application access. • Implementing a vulnerability management program that includes a regular scan of all systems on the network and a programmatic review of the resulting list of vulnerabilities to ensure that systems are reconfigured and patched to address risk to the organization in order of criticality. • Developing a comprehensive Incident Response Plan that is tested and reviewed at least annually or whenever significant changes to procedures are introduced. • Updating Centra’s third-party risk management procedures to include periodic review of supplier performance, appropriateness of information security and data protection controls, and compliance with required controls. • Improving security awareness training with specialized training for specific higher risk roles to the organization. We continue to make progress on 314.4(d)–(g) controls: safeguards have been designed and implemented for high-risk areas, and ongoing testing, training, vendor oversight, and program evaluation are being conducted. Some lower-priority improvements remain in progress, consistent with our risk-based approach and remediation roadmap. These initiatives are tracked, resourced, and scheduled, ensuring that residual gaps are closed in alignment with GLBA requirements.
Finding #2024-001 – Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: U. S.

Finding #2024-001 – Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, Passed through Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Nonpoint Source Implementation Grants, Low Impact Development 2020, Assistance Listing #66.460, Contract period: 11/06/20 – 04/30/26, Contract number: 582-21-10148. Condition and context: Under the terms of its agreement with the Texas Commission in Environmental Quality, HARC receives reimbursement for a percentage of the expenditures incurred in performance of the funded program. Donated services utilized in performance of the program were included in reimbursement submitted to the grantor. Recommendation: Re-emphasize to program and accounting personnel federal grant requirements for the allowability of in-kind donations. Management’s response: Management concurs with the finding. This issue arose because the non-federal flow-through sponsor required certain in-kind cost share amounts to be invoiced as direct expenses, which conflicted with federal cost principles. It is important to note that while the questioned costs increased reported revenue for 2024, the program had unreimbursed expenditures. Corrective actions were implemented in the first half of 2025, including the hiring of new Grants and Contracts Management staff and strengthening of internal controls, to ensure compliance with federal requirements and prevent recurrence in future reporting. Responsible officer: Carmen Osier, Director of Business Operations. Estimated completion date: June 30, 2025.

The previous audit firm did not find this to be an issue, we were told that reporting to FFATA was needed once a year for the previous year’s disbursements and that is what we have done. Now we will report every time we pass the $30,000 disbursement to a subrecipient.

The initial eligibility determinations are currently handled by the HCV department and are centralized. It has been determined that considerable investment in staff training has been made during the past twelve months. As a result, there has been staff turnover, some at the decision of TGHA, and some at the decision of staff. Initial eligibility is currently being restructured with an emphasis on new admissions. All procedures and processes are being evaluated for accuracy, with emphasis on the noted area of noncompliance and includes a complete review and update to the Administrative Plan. There will be increased staff training and file review. In July 2024, TGHA transitioned project-based files from a property management team to the Housing Choice Voucher Department. The files had not been electronically stored. Evidence pointed to deficiencies in file maintenance. TGHA has hired temporary staff for an extended period to focus on file organization and to correct documentation deficiencies. All HCV staff have completed Rent Calculation courses provided by NAHRO or Nan McKay during the fiscal year. There have been two managers hired for the department, one exclusively for project-based vouchers. Both attended NAHRO supervisory training in September. There will be an intensive focus on program integrity throughout the programs, including staff capability, training and monitoring. TGHA has contracted with a professional recruiter to assist in hiring a Director of the HCV and MTW programs. Recertification transactions will be monitored on a monthly basis. This will include validation of calculations and verification of correct documentation. TGHA files were fully in order by July 2025.

All grant expenditures are reviewed by the Director of Grants and Compliance so that no grant expenditures are paid prior to services being received. The current Director of Grants and Compliance took over this position and procedure in November 2024. The material weakness occurred during a time of significant turnover among leadership staff at First Step, prior to the new DIrector of Grants and Compliance taking over this position and procedure. The Director of Grants and Compliance will have the responsibility to ensure the corrective action plan is in place.

We agree with the finding that internal controls were not sufficient to maintain compliance with federal procurement standards under Title 2, Subtitle A, Chapter II, Part 200, Subpart D, 200.318 to 200.327 for a non-federal entity.

We agree with the finding that internal controls were not sufficient to maintain compliance with federal procurement standards under Title 2, Subtitle A, Chapter II, Part 200, Subpart D, 200.318 to 200.327 for a non-federal entity. However, the funds were expended for the intended purpose of the federal award. The Health System is committed to implementing internal controls to ensure procurement related to federal awards follow 2 CFR section 200.318 to 200.327. The Health System will create a procurement policy to ensure it complies with the requirements of 2 CFR section 200.318 through 200.327, that includes the written standards of conduct covering conflicts of interest, governing the actions of its employees who select, award and administer procurement contracts. This policy will include procedures to ensure proper procurement for small purchases to ensure sufficient price quotations are obtained from the required number of qualified sources, proper sealed bids or proposals are obtained through public advertising, an appropriate cost or price analysis is performed for procurement actions exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, documentation is retained, and proper oversight is exercised to demonstrate compliance with 2 CFR section 200.318 through 200.327.

Corrective Action Plan Xavier complies with the loan disbursement notification rules. During the audit we learned that, while our system was sending the emails to each student with a loan disbursement, our process for copying each individual email to xufinaid was not functioning. Further, the notification report was being overwritten daily, causing us to lose the audit trail for these notifications. We have implemented two steps to be able to document each individual email. 1. The xufinaid@xavier.edu email address is copied on every disbursement notification and each notification email is delivered into the xufinaid inbox in Outlook. Every Wednesday those emails are moved by financial aid personnel into a folder in Outlook where they remain stored. This weekly review allows personnel to know in a timely manner if there are issues with the email delivery process. 2. A log file which saves a list of the disbursement notification emails is saved on a daily basis. It includes the content of each email.

The City concurs that maintaining strong internal controls is appropriate and remains dedicated to ensuring Federal funds are spent in compliance with all governing laws and regulations. Management is committed to taking corrective action to ensure compliance with federal requirements and have done so immediately on notice of this instance. Since the enactment of the SLFRF, city staff made significant efforts to keep up with the multiple and evolving guidelines rules and FAQs issued by Treasury, and attended numerous trainings. City staff also enjoys good communication with State Auditors Office staff in order to stay abreast of new guidelines arising from training SAO attends. City staff took steps in prior years to eliminate recipients that cannot 1) register on SAM.gov, 2) contractually attest compliance or 3) provide self-attestation. The City also disseminated communication to staff alerting them to this finding and the need for vigilance and attention to checking Sam.gov for federal suspension and debarment. Communication to citywide purchasing staff has been repeated and reinforced. The City believes that adequate controls and procedures are in place and that internal training and communication are the appropriate corrective step
