Description of Finding: Lack of documentation on sole source contracts and verification of vendors Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian) agrees with the finding. Corrective Action: CalAsian understands the serious nature of this finding and the compliance required with 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.327, as well as Part 1326 for vendor exclusions. The Interim Controller and Director of Finance will be revising procedures to document requirements for all procurement activities, regardless of type. We also understand these findings are repetitive from the 2021 audit; however, due to catch-up of the prior year audits, we were unable to address these issues prior to completion of the 2022 audit. This delay was caused by a change in auditors as our previous auditor did not have the capacity to retain us as clients due to staff shortages related to COVID. Resolution of this issue began in 2024 as staff were trained and provided the updated procedure to ensure all procurement activities adhere to the company policies. Continuing education will be provided in 2025 to ensure continued compliance with these policies. In 2025, a formal procurement system in the new ERP structure will be implemented and utilized for vendor quotes, requisitions and POs to ensure compliance. Periodic reviews of the procurement activities will be performed to ensure compliance with these procedures to mitigate the risk of continued deficiencies. Name of Contact Person: Ryan Fong, Director of Finance, 916-446-7883, rfong@calasiancc.org Pat Fong Kushida, President & CEO, 916-446-7883, patfongkushida@calasiancc.org Projected Completion Date: December 2024

Description of Finding: Untimely audit submission in accordance with OMB Uniform Guidance Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian) agrees with the finding. Corrective Action: CalAsian understands the seriousness of this deficiency and the need for strict adherence to timely audit submissions per the OMB Uniform Guidance. Additional staff have been hired to assist in accounting processes; and an Interim Controller has been hired to review all accounting processes and procedures with the Director of Finance, provide best practice recommendations and month-end closing schedule. We also understand these findings are repetitive from the 2021 audit; however, due to catch-up of the prior year audits, we were unable to address these issues prior to completion of the 2022 audit. This delay was caused by a change in auditors as our previous auditor did not have the capacity to retain us as clients due to staff shortages related to COVID. A subcontractor has been retained to assist with providing information for the 2023 audit to bring the audits current by March 2025. This issue will be further mitigated in subsequent periods with the implementation of the new accounting system on 1/1/2025. Monthly reviews of the 2024 financial data, including reconciliations of all accounts will be performed and reviewed by the Controller and Director of Finance.This will allow us to provide the 2024 financial data to the auditors in a more timely manner to ensure completion and submission of the audit per the OMB guidance. Continued compliance with these new procedures will help to mitigate the risk of untimely submissions in future years. Name of Contact Person: Ryan Fong, Director of Finance, 916-446-7883, rfong@calasiancc.org Pat Fong Kushida, President & CEO, 916-446-7883, patfongkushida@calasiancc.org Projected Completion Date: March 2025

New Inventory Accounting System (NetSuite) implemented for reporting of the 2023 Fiscal Year.

Best Practices • Maintain standing engagement with accounting/business consultants to review practices, resolve unique challenges, and obtain best practice updates. • Individually wrap TEFAP orders in Harvest Hope Florence facility per agency guidance. • Reached out to other state and regional food banks to learn inventory “best practices.” • Moved all USDA packing to Harvest Hope Greenville facility. • Centralized and created CSFP process expertise in one facility. • Engaged accounting and other professionals to help understand issues.
