Finding 2025-003 Finding Subject: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies - Earmarking Summary of Finding: The School Corporation and we could not verify the unused Homeless set-aside funds were transferred to the next grant award. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Randi Libby, Chief Operating Officer Contact Phone Number and Email Address: (260)431-2030, rlibby@sacs.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Official: We disagree with the finding. Explanation and Reasons for Disagreement The School Corporation respectfully disagrees with the conclusion that it failed to comply with Title I homeless setaside requirements. Title I, Part A requires local educational agencies to reserve “such funds as are necessary” to serve homeless children and youth (20 U.S.C. § 6313(c)(3)). Neither the statute nor implementing regulations require that homeless set-aside funds be fully expended each fiscal year, nor do they require unspent homeless set-aside funds to be rolled forward and maintained as a cumulative earmark across successive grant years. During the audit period, the School Corporation increased its homeless set-aside allocation each year based on annual needs assessments. The existence of unspent balances is attributable to year-over-year increases in allocation rather than failure to reserve or obligate funds. Requiring the perpetual rollover of unspent homeless set-aside funds would be inconsistent with Title I’s annual reservation framework and would eventually consume the full 15% Title I carryover limitation, a result not contemplated by federal statute or guidance. While the auditors were unable to verify homeless set-aside expenditures to their satisfaction due to documentation and monitoring gaps, the School Corporation does not agree that this constitutes noncompliance with the earmarking requirement itself. The statutory obligation is to reserve funds based on need, which the School Corporation did. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Although the School Corporation disagrees with the compliance conclusion, it recognizes the need to strengthen internal controls and documentation related to Title I set-aside monitoring. Going forward, the School Corporation will implement enhanced procedures to document: • the annual determination of the homeless set-aside amount, • periodic monitoring of expenditures against the approved reservation, and • year-end reconciliation of reserved versus expended funds within each grant year. These procedures are intended to improve audit transparency and documentation while maintaining compliance with Title I statutory requirements.

All free and reduced meal applications are completed electronically by the parent or guardian through the District's online application system. The parent/guardian inputs household and financial information used to determine eligibility in accordance with the income eligibility guidelines established by the State of Ohio and the National School Lunch Program. To ensure internal controls are in place and that eligibility determinations are accurate, the District will implement a review process whereby all electronic applications submitted by parents or guardians will be reviewed by the Cafeteria Supervisor or a designated staff member prior to final approval. The reviewer will ensure that all required fields are completed, the information provided appears reasonable, and the eligibility determination generated by the system is appropriate based on the information provided on the application. If any application appears incomplete or contains questionable information, the Cafeteria Supervisor or designee will contact the parent or guardian for clarification or correction prior to approving the application. Documentation of the review will be maintained by a checklist or retained electronically to demonstrate that the review occurred. Periodic monitoring of the process will be performed to ensure the control procedures continue to operate as intended and that applications are properly reviewed before eligibility is finalized.

Finding #2025-001: #84.048 -Career and Technical Education - Basic Grants to States Federal Grantor Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Subrecipient Monitoring Condition: During our audit procedures, we noted that the District does not have formal, written procedures governing subrecipient monitoring. Although the District reviews supporting documentation—such as invoices—submitted by subrecipient schools prior to submitting claims to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), these practices are not documented in an established policy or procedure. Criteria: Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.331–200.332) requires pass-through entities to establish and implement written procedures for monitoring subrecipients to ensure compliance with federal program requirements and achievement of performance goals. Cause: The District has not developed or implemented formal written policies and procedures for subrecipient monitoring. Effect: In the absence of formalized procedures, the District’s monitoring practices may be applied inconsistently, increasing the risk of unallowable costs, noncompliance with federal requirements, or misunderstandings between the District and its subrecipients. This could lead to questioned costs or administrative issues during oversight by DPI or other regulatory bodies. Recommendation: We recommend that the District develop and adopt formal written procedures outlining its subrecipient monitoring activities. These procedures should clearly describe monitoring responsibilities, required documentation, review steps, communication expectations, and follow-up actions. Implementing a formalized process will help ensure consistent oversight and compliance with federal regulations. Grantee Response: The District will develop and implement written procedures that outline the required monitoring steps, documentation standards, communication protocols, and follow-up expectations for subrecipient oversight. These procedures will align with the requirements of Uniform Guidance and DPI expectations.

The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS – FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS Finding 2025-001 – Account Analyses MATERIAL WEAKNESS Recommendation We recommend that the Agency implement policies, procedures and controls to ensure that all accounting records are analyzed and reconciled on a monthly basis. Action Taken BTQ Financial is spearheading a comprehensive stabilization project to refine the chart of accounts and reconstruct historical tracking for the permanent endowment fund. BTQ already has in place a rigorous monthly closing schedule. This includes establishing automated reconciliation protocols for program service revenue, endowment tracking, and inter-company accounts to ensure GAAP compliance and timely board reporting. These policies, procedures, and controls to ensure that all accounting records are analyzed and reconciled on a monthly basis have already been incorporated into FY2026 monthly close process. Finding 2025-002 – Information Technology – General Control Activities SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Recommendation We recommend the Agency follow their policy for password age. We also recommend the Agency perform a risk assessment over the information technology environment. We recommend a written risk assessment and penetration test to be performed annually and vulnerability scans to be performed quarterly. Action Taken The Agency has configured NetSuite and Active Directory to programmatically enforce password aging and complexity requirements that strictly mirror our established IT Security Policy. Furthermore, we have moved beyond interview-based assessments to an annual cadence of formal, written risk assessments and penetration testing, supported by continuous monthly vulnerability monitoring through our Security Operation Center (SOC). An interview-based risk assessment was performed in Q3 2025, and monthly vulnerability scans are managed by Arctic Wolf, our Security Operation Center (SOC) service provider. To further strengthen our posture, we will initiate an annual cadence of formal external and internal penetration tests starting in Q2-Q3 2026.

This could include maintaining a centralized grant reporting calendar and implementing supervisory review prior to submission. Action Taken With the outsourcing to BTQ now fully operational, a centralized Federal Grant Reporting Calendar has been established. This calendar includes automated alerts for all 30/60/90-day deadlines. BTQ has also implemented a dual-level supervisory review process to ensure that all future reports are validated against the general ledger and submitted well in advance of federal deadlines. This protocol has been strictly applied to all federal reporting for the FY2026 cycle.

Action Taken The Agency, in collaboration with BTQ Financial, has implemented a formalized "Drawdown Authorization Protocol." This new workflow improves upon the existing, and adds a standardized approach to every drawdown request, documented supporting schedules (showing immediate cash needs), and formal approval from BTQ’s PM, SVPF, VPF, or AVPF. This ensures a clear audit trail and prevents the accumulation of excess federal cash on hand.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Unaccompanied Alien Children Program (Assistance Listing Number 93.676), FAIN # 90ZU0603, 90ZU0567, and 90ZU0536, for FY 2025 - Significant Deficiency Finding 2025-004 – Cash Management Recommendation We recommend that management of the Agency implement formal controls over the drawdown process that includes establishing procedures requiring documented supervisory review and approval of all drawdown requests and ensuring drawdowns are based on immediate cash needs so that federal funds are expended within a reasonable amount of time. Action Taken The Agency, in collaboration with BTQ Financial, has implemented a formalized "Drawdown Authorization Protocol." This new workflow improves upon the existing, and adds a standardized approach to every drawdown request, documented supporting schedules (showing immediate cash needs), and formal approval from BTQ’s PM, SVPF, VPF, or AVPF. This ensures a clear audit trail and prevents the accumulation of excess federal cash on hand. If the Health Resources and Services Administration has questions regarding this plan, please call Kenneth Shieh, Chief Administration Officer at (718) 747-4367. Sincerely yours, Kenneth Shieh, Chief Administrative Officer

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Program Name: Continuum of Care Program Center for Substance Abuse Treatment - Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Assistance Listing Number: 14.267 93.696 Direct Federal Award Program: PA0029L3T002316 - Tioga Arms PA0568L3T002308 - Shelton Court 22TI85374A – Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Type of Finding: - Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance - Other Matters Condition: As part of our audit procedures over the Organization’s procurement policy and the small purchase requirements under 2 CFR 200.320(a)(2), we sampled a total of five vendors who incurred costs exceeding $10,000 for each of the two major programs. For three of the five vendors selected, management was unable to provide written documentation demonstrating that price or rate quotations were obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources (generally 2-3 quotes) for purchases above the micro-purchase threshold ($10,000) and below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold ($250,000). This documentation should have included the names of suppliers contacted, prices quoted, and the justification for vendor selection. Recommendation: We recommend management update its policies and procedures over procurement to ensure compliance with 2 CFR Part 200. This includes requiring and retaining documentation supporting the use of small purchase procedures, obtaining price or rate quotations from an adequate number of qualified sources, and monitoring vendor expenditures on an aggregate basis to ensure the appropriate procurement method is applied. Management should also provide training for staff responsible for procurement activities to promote consistent compliance with federal requirements. Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management acknowledges the deficiency related to procurement documentation and compliance. While the Organization has procurement practices in place, documentation supporting the solicitation of price or rate quotations from an adequate number of qualified sources was not consistently maintained for certain purchases during the audit period. In certain instances, vendor selection was influenced by the need to ensure continuity of care and avoid disruption to critical services provided to clients. As a result, management prioritized maintaining established vendor relationships to support uninterrupted service delivery; however, formal documentation supporting this rationale was not consistently retained in accordance with procurement requirements. To address this matter, management will update and formalize procurement policies and procedures to ensure full compliance with federal requirements. This will include clearly defined documentation standards for all purchases exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, including retention of vendor quotes, identification of suppliers contacted, and justification for vendor selection—including instances where continuity of care is a determining factor. In addition, training will be provided to all staff involved in procurement activities to reinforce compliance expectations and documentation requirements. Management expects these corrective actions to be implemented in the current fiscal year and will conduct periodic reviews to ensure adherence and ongoing compliance.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Name: HOME Investment Partnership Program Assistance Listing Number: 14.239 Pass-Through Agencies: City of Philadelphia, Redevelopment Authority: Venango – Loan Thompson Street – Loan County of Schuylkill - Home Investment Partnerships and Housing Trust Funds Programs: Fountain Springs - Loan Mayor and City of Baltimore: Baltimore Housing - Park Heights Women and Children - Loan Type of Finding: - Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance - Other Matters Condition: As part of the eligibility requirement for the HOME Investment Partnership program, we are required to review files of client residents who were provided residential drug and alcohol treatment services at the Organization’s locations in Venango (Re-Entry), Fountain Springs, Thompson Street, and Park Heights Women and Children. We sampled a total of 40 resident clients at these four locations covered by HOME loans and requested documentation within client resident files, including proof of residency, proof of income (low income or homeless). Of 40 resident client files reviewed, management could not provide proof of income or residency status for 16 clients, or policies and procedures manuals for 22 clients. Recommendation: We recommend that management adopt and implement formal policies and procedures to ensure compliance with HOME eligibility requirements. Such policies and procedures should include clear communication of compliance requirements between staff and locations, standardized documentation and processes for determining and verifying income eligibility during intake, and procedures for the redetermination of income eligibility for residential clients residing at a location for more than one year. Repeat Finding: 2024-001 Explanation of Disagreement with Audit Finding Management acknowledges the finding and continues to strengthen internal controls related to HOME program compliance, including eligibility documentation and file retention practices across all residential program locations. Management agrees that consistent documentation of eligibility, including proof of income and residency status (as applicable under HOME requirements), is critical. We are currently reviewing and enhancing intake procedures, documentation standards, and internal monitoring processes to ensure all required eligibility documentation is properly obtained, maintained, and uniformly applied across all locations. Action taken in response to finding: In response to the recommendation, management will develop and implement formalized policies and procedures to strengthen compliance with HOME requirements. These will include standardized guidance for eligibility determination at intake, clear documentation requirements across all sites, and procedures for ongoing eligibility review for clients residing in programs beyond one year.

March 19, 2026 Greg Lunsford, Town Manager, respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Brown, Edwards & Company, L.L.P. 1909 Financial Drive Harrisonburg, VA 22801 Audit period: June 30, 2025 The findings from the June 30, 2025 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs (the "Schedule") are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the Schedule. Findings - Financial Statement Audit 2025-001: Material Audit Adjustments (Material Weakness) Condition During the audit, we detected material misstatements in the trial balance. Generally accepted auditing standards dictate that detection of errors in an audit is a strong indicator of a significant deficiency or material weakness. Accordingly, we are required to communicate this finding as such. Criteria The financial statements must be presented fairly, in all material respects. Cause The Town does not have a formal process for annual and monthly entries. Effect The financial information presented to us for the audit was missing or inaccurate. Recommendation We recommend that management implement processes to ensure accuracy of accounts. View of The Treasurer has drafted a Monthly Close Process and has been following it each month Responsible without fail. This has provided the opportunity to find errors and get them corrected in a Officials timely manner, which alleviates issues during the audit review. 2025-002: Segregation of Duties {Material Weakness) Condition Multiple duties in a transaction cycle are performed by the same individual. Consequently, errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Criteria Ideally, no individual would perform more than one duty in connection with any transaction or series of transactions. In particular, no one individual should have access to both physical assets and the related accounting records. Cause Incompatible duties and the limited number of staff. Effect A lack of separation of duties could allow error or fraud to go undetected. Recommendation While we understand that limited staff can make this difficult, controls should be in place to mitigate the risk. We have suggested specific controls in a separate communication. View of This continues to be a work in progress. The Treasurer has divided up the duties among her Responsible employees. Now one employee is processing the utility bills and two other employees are Officials collecting/inputting payments. 2025-003: Annual and Monthly Close Process (Material Weakness) Condition The Town does not have a complete monthly or annual close process in place that accurately reflects all needed adjustments. Criteria Each period should be closed to properly reflect accruals or other transactions not previously recorded to ensure the period reporting is materially correct. Cause The annual and monthly close process does not currently capture adjustments needed for all accruals. Effect Material audit adjustments were required. Recommendation We recommend the Town improve a monthly and annual close process to ensure financial records are accurate and complete. View of The Treasurer has drafted a Monthly Close Process and has been following it each month Resp onsi ble without fail. This has provided the opportunity to find errors and get them corrected in a Officials timely manner, which alleviates issues during the audit review. The Treasurer is also drafting an Annual Close Process that will assist with collecting information for review by the auditing firm. Findings and Questioned Costs - Major Federal Award Programs Audit 2025-004: Federal Procurement Policies Condition The policy created in 2024 specific to the federal awards cost principle requirements under Uniform Grant Guidance is not compliant. Criteria Federal award recipients must have written policies, procedures, and standards of conduct as required by 2 CFR 200, Subparts D and E. Cause Certain required policies under 2 CFR 200, Subparts D and E are not present. Effect Lack of compliant policies may create noncompliance with regulations as stated requirements may not be followed. Recommendation Develop compliant procurement policy that meets federal st an dards . View of The Treasurer will review the Policy and submit recommended edits to the Town Council for Responsible review and approval. Officials If the Federal Audit Clearinghouse has questions regarding this plan, please call Donna Curry, Treasurer at 540-298-1951.

The Enrollment Division at The Cooper Union has seen recent turnover in leadership and personnel coinciding with the 2024-2025 data submission cycle. A new Vice President for Enrollment, Troy Cogburn, joined the community in October 2024 and the College experienced continued transition and turnover. In May 2025, an Assistant Registrar was hired, and Troy stepped in as Interim Registrar, while also overseeing a search to fill the position permanently, which did not come to fruition until a new Senior Registrar was hired/started working for The Cooper Union during the first week of January 2026. Moving forward, the new Senior Registrar, Bryan Cracchiolo, has resumed responsibilities for timely enrollment and graduation reporting through the National Clearinghouse. Additionally, Bryan is working in closer collaboration with the Offices of Institutional Effectiveness and Research, to ensure accurate processing of all institutional data. Furthermore, the Vice President and Senior Registrar, as an interim step, are teaming with campus executive leadership to revisit a long-held, multi-step conferral confirmation practice which has contributed to certain delays in the processing of student enrollment records. Their goal is to implement an expedited review process by the Spring of 2026 that will lead to the timely submission of student enrollment changes to the NSLDS.

February 27, 2026 Re: Corrective Action Plan in response to Federal Single Audit Introduction On February 27, 2026, Crowe LLP issued the Independent Auditor’s Report as required and in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Controller General. The Corrective Action Plan, submitted by the City of Richardson more specifically, responds to the Report and outlines the City’s corrective action plans to address the finding. We again thank Crowe LLP for their hard work in this matter. This single audit has and will continue to serve as a roadmap for future financial operations. Finding 2025-001: Special Tests – Wage Rate Requirements – Significant Deficiency In two out of seven selections tested for required certified payrolls for contactor or subcontractor work performed during the fiscal year end September 30, 2025, the certified payrolls were not obtained by the City until subsequent to audit fieldwork. In addition, the City did not have internal controls in place to identify that these certified payrolls were not being obtained. Response: The City acknowledges that the required supporting documentation was not available at the time compliance testwork was completed by Crowe LLP. The City recognizes its responsibility to obtain and review certified payroll records from contractors and subcontractors for all laborers working on City grant funded projects to ensure wages and fringe benefits are paid in compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act. Corrective Action Plan: The City has an established Grants Management Policy and quarterly reporting from departments stating compliance with grant requirements. To strengthen compliance and address the documentation deficiency identified in the audit finding, the City will conduct mandatory training sessions with designated grant personnel in each department to reinforce policy requirements, required documentation standards, and applicable federal and state regulations, including certified payroll monitoring requirements where applicable. Training will be completed by June 30, 2026, and will be provided annually thereafter.The City will implement a grant review process that includes a master checklist to assist departments in verifying compliance prior to processing payments. The checklist will include verification that required supporting documentation, including certified payroll records when applicable, has been received, reviewed, and approved. Implementation of this checklist will occur by March 31, 2026. A centralized electronic repository will be established to allow Finance access to grant agreements, supporting documentation and relate records maintained by City departments. This control will be implemented by March 31, 2026. Additional internal controls will be incorporated into the financial software system to ensure that all required supporting documentation is attached and reviewed prior to payment approval. This control will be implemented by March 31, 2026. The City will conduct periodic internal compliance review testing of grants, including verification of required labor compliance documentation where applicable, to confirm ongoing adherence to federal and state regulations. Pre-award and post-award meetings will be held between Finance and the respective grant departments to establish reporting parameters, documentation requirements, monitoring responsibilities and compliance expectations prior to project implementation. When bids are solicited that include grant funding, the City will continue to communicate to all prospective bidders that compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including labor standard requirements when applicable, is a condition of award. Bid documents will include a sample copy of the U.S. Department of Labor Davis-Bacon and Related Acts Weekly Certified Payroll form. Contact Person Responsible/Anticipated Completion Date: The Finance Director is responsible for oversight of this corrective action plan, with day-to-day management and implementation delegated to the Assistant Director of Finance. Implementation of these corrective actions is scheduled to begin immediately, with full completion anticipated by June 30, 2026. Once implemented, the procedures will be monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure continued compliance and to prevent recurrence of the finding.
