Audit Finding Reference: 2022-003 Corrective Action Taken or Planned: 1. Formal Documentation and Retention Procedures: Going forward, all report submissions will be accompanied by time and date-stamped confirmation of submission ( e.g., email confirmations, screenshots from the federal submission portal, etc.). These confirmations will be retained in a designated compliance folder for each program. 2. Contingency Plan for System Errors: The County will develop a written contingency plan to address delays caused by system outages or data access issues. This plan will include communication protocols with software vendors, documentation of incidents, and immediate outreach to the granting agency when delays are anticipated. 3. Documenting Extensions and Agency Communication: In any case where a reporting deadline cannot be met, staff will immediately request written approval for extensions from the granting agency, and this correspondence will be retained as part of the official reporting record, as applicable and permitted. 4. Training for Program and Compliance Staff: Staff involved in federal reporting will receive training on reporting deadlines, documentation standards, and escalation protocols for delays. This training will be updated annually to reflect current guidance and program requirements.

Audit Finding Reference: 2022-002 Corrective Action Taken or Planned: 1. Formalized Record Retention Policies: A formal record retention policy specific to federal grant programs will be implemented to ensure full compliance with 2 CFR 200.334. This policy will apply regardless of whether documentation is stored internally or by third-party systems. Any documentation downloaded or transferred from third-party systems will be subject to a review process to verify completeness and accuracy before being finalized for County retention. The County shall also take steps to ensure that information downloads and exports from third-party systems represent omplete and accurate records. 2. Audit Timing Advocacy and Preparedness: The County will continue to maintain timely documentation and preparedness for audits and will also advocate for timely initiation and completion of future audits. Significant delays in the audit process, through no fault of the County, as observed during the FY2022 audit, substantially impacted the County's ability to access necessary documentation and demonstrate compliance. Although the County made every effort to retain records in accordance with federal requirements, the timing of the audit fieldwork occurred well after the program had concluded in May 2023. Had the audit been conducted in a timely manner, full access to the third-party platform used for program administration would have been available, along with all supporting documentation. However, by the time the audit took place, the program had been closed for over 18 months, and access to the external software system had lapsed in accordance with the expiration of the service agreement. 3. Internal Audit Readiness Reviews: Beginning with FY2025, the County will conduct internal audit readiness reviews shortly after fiscal year-end to ensure all documentation for closed federal programs is centralized, archived, and accessible for future audit purposes, even if conducted years later. Anticipated Completion Date: October 15, 2025 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Charles Nickerson, Senior Director of Finance

Audit Finding Reference: 2022-001 Corrective Action Taken or Planned: At the time of compiling the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEF A), the County was unaware that the totals reported in Reports 2 and 3 submitted to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) were required to be reported under Federal Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 93.498- COVID-19 - Provider Relief Fund. This resulted in an incomplete reporting of federal expenditures under the appropriate ALN. To address this issue, the County will implement the following corrective actions: 1. Training and Guidance: Staff responsible for SEF A preparation will receive additional training regarding federal reporting requirements, including how to align HRSA filings with SEFA reporting and the appropriate identification of Assistance Listing Numbers. 2. Improved Coordination: The County will establish closer coordination between the departments submitting reports to federal agencies (such as HRSA) and those compiling the SEFA to ensure consistency and completeness. 3. Periodic Reconciliations: The County will implement periodic reconciliations of its general ledger and departmental grant records against federal reporting requirements throughout the fiscal year, rather than waiting until year-end. This will support more timely and accurate SEFA preparation. Anticipated Completion Date: October 15, 2025 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Charles Nickerson, Senior Director of Finance

1. Enhance Document Retention Procedures: *We will update our document retention policy to clearly define retention periods for payroll-related records, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. This will include retaining all necessary documentation such as payroll reports, tax filings, and third-party payroll contracts. *A secure, organized system will be implemented for storing payroll-related documents, whether physical or digital. This will include utilizing secure cloud storage or an enterprise document management system with restricted access controls. *We will conduct a quarterly review to ensure that documents are being retained for the appropriate time frame and securely disposed of when no longer required. 2. Implement Stronger Controls During Payroll Provider Transitions: *We will formalize and document the process for changing third-party payroll providers. This process will include detailed steps for due diligence, transition planning, data transfer procedures, and ensuring continuous payroll processing during the transition period. *A project team will be assigned for every payroll provider change to ensure proper planning, including backup and contingency plans, data verification, and communication with both internal and external stakeholders. *A comprehensive review of the transition will be conducted after each change, including a reconciliation of payroll records to ensure that all data is accurately transferred, and all systems are functioning properly. 3. Vendor Oversight and Service Level Agreements (SLAs): *We will ensure that future contracts with third-party payroll providers include clear Service Level Agreements (SLAs) outlining the provider's responsibilities in terms of document retention, data security, and transition procedures. This will ensure that providers maintain the necessary standards and practices for managing payroll-related documents.
