Finding 2025-001: Allowable Cost – Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls Over Compliance Program: Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse (ALN 93.959) Management Response: Management concurs with the finding.

Finding 2025-001: Allowable Cost – Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls Over Compliance Program: Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse (ALN 93.959) Management Response: Management concurs with the finding. The exceptions identified resulted from a lapse in execution of established approval procedures, as 2 of the 25 sampled credit card transactions charged to the grant did not include documented supervisory approval prior to payment. However, compensating controls existed, including Finance Department review of all expenditures prior to payment of the Brex account and additional review of expenses charged to the grant during preparation of monthly grant invoices and reporting. No unallowable costs or, questioned costs, were identified. To remediate the finding, all supervisors have received additional training and reminders regarding requirements for timely review and approval of expenditures prior to payment processing. In addition, the accounting team has implemented procedures prohibiting payment processing until all required approvals have been completed and documented. Management believes these enhanced controls strengthen adherence to existing policies and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Management notes that the supervisor associated with the exceptions is no longer employed by the Organization; however, corrective actions focus on strengthening processes and controls rather than reliance on personnel changes. Corrective Action Planned/Implemented: • Refresher training provided to supervisors regarding expenditure review and approval requirements. • Accounting procedures updated to prevent payment processing prior to completion and documentation of all required approvals. • Existing accounting department monitoring procedures will continue, including review of expenditures before payment and grant expenditure review during monthly reporting. Responsible Party: Controller / Accounting Department Implementation Date: Implemented as of April 2026

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE La Center School District No. 101 September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025 This schedule presents the corrective action the District is planning to take for findings included in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2025-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls and did not comply with time and effort requirements. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Gary McGarvie, Business Manager PO Box 1840 La Center, WA 98629 (360) 263-2131 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: (If the auditee does not concur with the finding, the auditee must list the reasons for disagreement). As a new Business Manager completing year-end processes for the first time, I mistakenly overlooked attaching the semi-annual Time & Effort certification forms to the timesheets for our classified staff. While the District did maintain completed timesheets for all staff throughout the year, the formal Time & Effort certification documentation was not completed as required for federal grant compliance. To correct this and prevent it from happening again, the District has since implemented a more structured process to ensure Time & Effort documents are properly completed. This includes attaching semi-annual certification forms directly to timesheets for classified staff and sending certification forms to certificated staff twice a year. This process will ensure that the dollars being spent from federal grants are being used accurately and in accordance with federal requirements. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: This process has already been implemented and we should not have this issue happen moving forward.

Finding 2025-003: Procurement, Suspension and Debarment The single audit report included the following recommendation: EY recommends that Amtrak include legal expenses within their procurement, suspension and debarment policy as outlined within each of the grant agreements. Management Response/Status of Action Plans: Pursuant to Section 26(j) of Amtrak’s annual grants, Amtrak’s policy is to fund most law firm engagements with Program Income without applying grant requirements that apply to other procurements. In FY2025, this was the case for all law firm engagements charged to operating activities. Also, in FY2025, Amtrak had a portion of its legal expenditures charged to capital projects based on the nature of the legal work performed. These capital projects were funded with federal grants. For legal expenditures which are by their nature related to projects funded by grants, Amtrak acknowledges the need to have the proper procurement process including competitive review and/or securing the contractor/law firms’ acceptance of required Supplemental General Provisions/flow-down based on the grants. By the end of FY2026, the Law Department will review and update its internal procedures to better prevent recurrence of legal expenditures that did not have proper competitive review and/or securing the contractor/law firms’ acceptance of required Supplemental General Provisions/flow-downs from being charged to projects funded by grants. As part of that review, Amtrak will consider whether it may be appropriate to utilize the Company’s broader procurement policies. The contacts for this item are Lucia Butts, AVP Funding and Grants and Thomas Bloom, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Amtrak anticipates fully remediating this finding by September 2026.

Finding 2025-002: Equipment and Real Property Management The single audit report included the following recommendation: EY recommends Amtrak set up a system with certain criteria for identifying sites at a higher risk for noncompliance with safeguard requirements, and creates an action plan for evaluating, and remediating potential noncompliance. EY recommends that management consider redesigning one of its key controls to help ensure that the monitoring of the observations is occurring on a preventive basis to help identify any exposure to non-compliance before it occurs and clearly identifies any follow-up steps and actions. For example, there should be established a protocol as well as timeline for when required observations are to take place, additionally, as it is known in advance, which items are coming up for inventory, Amtrak could prepare an annual schedule of inventories, that could be revised quarterly. Management Response/Status of Action Plans: Amtrak acknowledges the recommendation that Amtrak should have a system with certain criteria for identifying sites at a higher risk for noncompliance with safeguard requirements and create an action plan for evaluating and remediating potential noncompliance. As part of this effort, the Enterprise Asset Management and Disposition Team will work with Corporate Security to review and, as appropriate, align existing governance processes to reduce the likelihood of similar noncompliance. Amtrak agrees with the recommendation to redesign key controls to help ensure that the monitoring of the observations happens on a preventive basis to help identify any exposure to non-compliance before it occurs. Amtrak published an updated Equipment Control Policy and created an eLearning course, as well as implemented several processes, technologies, and reporting that help to proactively monitor and identify equipment that is 90 days or less of needing an inventory. This has improved the compliance rate from less than 70% in FY22 to over 97% in FY25. Amtrak understands that this is a repeat finding and will review with Infrastructure Maintenance and Construction Services, the owner of equipment that was out of compliance to strengthen the practice and reduce the likelihood of noncompliance. The contact for this item is Robert Hoban, Director Asset Management. Amtrak anticipates fully remediating this finding by September 2028.

Finding 2025-001: Review of Compliance Matrices and Narratives – Special Tests and Provisions The single audit report included the following recommendation: EY recommends that Amtrak update the control design with enough precision to ensure that reviews and updates to the compliance matrices are made on a regular cadence to ensure that any updates, amendments or changes are monitored and updated timely. Management Response/Status of Action Plans: Amtrak recognizes the need to improve our controls over the updates of the compliance matrices and will review its control processes. The company specifically notes the need to update its compliance matrices in a regular cadence and after every amendment. Amtrak will develop a process document to create or update compliance matrices that will be used as a guide by compliance matrices preparers and reviewers when one is created or updated. The contact for this item is Lucia Butts, AVP Funding and Grants. Amtrak anticipates fully remediating this finding by September 2026.

Tuerk House, Inc. recognizes the importance of maintaining compliance with federal grant requirements related to allowable costs and documentation standards. The Organization acknowledges the continued deficiencies identified in the areas of time and effort reporting and supporting documentation for expenditures charged to grant programs and reaffirms its commitment to achieving full compliance. To address this repeat finding, Tuerk House has implemented or is continuing to implement the following corrective actions: • Implemented a formal time and effort certification process requiring employees to certify actual time worked on federal grant activities on a regular basis, rather than relying on budgeted allocations. • Developed a standardized cost allocation methodology that aligns with actual grant activity and is supported by verifiable documentation. • Required that all expenditures charged to federal awards be supported by complete and accurate source documentation, including vendor invoices, timesheets, and approvals. • Established a document retention policy consistent with 2 CFR § 200.334 to ensure all supporting records are retained for the required period and readily accessible for audit or review. Training sessions for program and finance staff have been conducted, and ongoing training will continue to ensure consistent understanding and application of these updated policies and procedures.

Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls and did not comply with federal suspension and debarment requirements Name, address, and telephone of School District contact person: Heather Judd 217 S Hofstetter Colville, WA 99114 (509) 684-7856 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: (If the auditee does not concur with the finding, the auditee must list the reasons for disagreement). The District will strengthen internal controls over suspension and debarment compliance for Nutrition Services vendors. Effective immediately, all vendors expected to meet or exceed the $25,000 federal threshold will require documented suspension and debarment verification prior to contract execution or renewal. The Nutrition Services Director will be responsible for completing and maintaining documentation of the verification; however, the Business Office will implement an annual review each September 1 to ensure all required checks are completed, properly documented, and retained. Additionally, procedures will be updated to require submission of all debarment and suspension documentation to the Business Office for centralized recordkeeping, with periodic monitoring throughout the year to ensure compliance despite staff turnover.

Finding ref number: 2025-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with federal procurement requirements. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Tom Hitt, Purchasing and Compliance Manager 1215 W. Lewis Street Pasco, WA 99301 Phone: (509) 543-6700 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: Pasco School District concurs with the audit finding. The District has evaluated the circumstances surrounding this issue and determined that the root cause was a lack of specific procedural controls and staff training related to cooperative (“piggyback”) procurement requirements, particularly regarding vendor regional assignments under Department of Enterprise Services (DES) contracts. As noted in the audit, staff were not aware that contractors were assigned to specific geographic regions, which resulted in the selection of a vendor outside the District’s designated region. The District recognizes that the selected vendor in question was local to the District, and following the DES contract requires the District to instead order from a Spokane company, which is 2-3 hours away. The District places a strong emphasis on supporting local businesses as part of its commitment to the community, and this priority was a contributing factor in procurement decisions in this instance. However, the District recognizes that all procurement activities involving federal funds must strictly adhere to applicable federal, state, and contract requirements. Upon discovery of the issue during the audit process, Nutrition Services immediately initiated corrective action. The department transitioned to the appropriately assigned vendor, and within a short timeframe completed all necessary onboarding, ordering, and delivery processes. Procurement activities are now aligned with DES contract requirements. Additionally, while the District had been utilizing a vendor outside of the assigned DES contract region for these purchases, that vendor is an approved provider under the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s Department of Defense (DoD) Fresh Produce Program. The District will continue to utilize that vendor when procuring produce through DoD-funded programs, where appropriate. To prevent recurrence, the District will implement the following corrective actions: 1. Staff Training and Capacity Building Provide training on federal procurement requirements and DES contracts Reinforce that local preference cannot override compliance requirements 2. Ongoing Monitoring and Internal Controls Conduct periodic internal reviews of procurement activity Perform documentation audits and provide corrective feedback 3. Coordination with DES and OSPI Guidance Require staff to reference DES and OSPI guidance when utilizing cooperative contracts Through these actions, the District will strengthen internal controls and ensure compliance with federal procurement requirements moving forward. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: June 30, 2026

Management’s Response Community Council of Idaho, Inc. acknowledges the finding related to untimely reconciliations, material audit adjustments, and delayed financial statement issuance. Management agrees that improvements are necessary to strengthen internal controls over financial reporting, ensure timely account reconciliations, and improve the overall financial close and audit preparation process. Management recognizes that turnover within the business office during the audit year significantly impacted continuity, institutional knowledge, and the timely completion of reconciliations and closing procedures. Subsequent to year end, management has initiated corrective actions designed to improve financial reporting accuracy, accountability, and timeliness. Corrective Actions to Be Implemented 1.

Actions include: Reconciling grant receivable balances to supporting reimbursement requests and funding agency records, Reviewing deferred revenue and earned revenue calculations monthly, Investigating and resolving variances timely, and Implementing supervisory review of grant reconciliations. 3. Enhanced Review and Oversight Controls Management will implement additional review controls over financial reporting and account reconciliations. These controls will include: Documented supervisory review and approval of reconciliations, Review of significant or unusual journal entries, Periodic review of financial statements and supporting schedules by senior finance leadership, and Earlier audit preparation and interim review procedures to identify issues prior to year end. 4. Strengthening Staffing and Organizational Structure Management and executive leadership have evaluated the operational needs of the business office and have taken steps to improve staffing stability and oversight capacity. Actions include: Clarifying accounting roles and responsibilities, Enhancing cross-training within the finance department, Providing additional training related to grant accounting and reconciliations, Utilizing external resources or consultants, as needed, to support complex accounting areas and transition periods. 5. Improvement of Clinic Reporting Processes Management will continue evaluating clinic reporting systems and procedures to ensure operational growth is adequately supported by accounting and financial reporting processes. This includes: Improving coordination between clinic operations and accounting, Standardizing reporting procedures, Evaluating system-generated reports for accuracy and completeness, and Implementing additional reconciliation and review controls related to clinic financial activity. 6.
