2025-002 – Late Submission of Uniform Guidance Report Cluster: Not applicable Sponsoring Agency: Tennessee Emergency Management Agency Award Name: All awards on the SEFA Award Number: All awards on the SEFA Assistance Listing Title: All awards on the SEFA Assistance Listing Number: All awards on the SEFA Award Year: All awards on the SEFA Pass-through entity: Not applicable We acknowledge the late submission of the Uniform Guidance report. The delay is attributed to the delayed release of the Office of Management and Budget Compliance Supplement and business disruptions experienced by NES as a result of the catastrophic Winter Storm Fern in January 2026. In conjunction with our storm response post-incident analysis, we are including staffing redundancies to ensure timely compliance with future reporting requirements. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Tabitha Beach at tbeach@nespower.com who is responsible for the corrective action.

2025-001 – Completeness of certain programs on the prior years’ Schedules of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Cluster: Not applicable Sponsoring Agency: Tennessee Emergency Management Agency Award Name: Presidential Disaster Declaration for Severe Storms, Straight-line Winds, and Flooding May 3-4, 2020; Presidential Disaster Declaration for COVID-19 beginning January 2020 Award Number: FEMA-4550-DR-TN; FEMA-4514-DR-TN Assistance Listing Title: Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Assistance Listing Number: 97.036 Award Year: 2022, 2024 Pass-through entity: Not applicable A reconciliation process was implemented by the Electric Power Board of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (the “Board” or “NES”) in FY2025, the result of which was the discovery of the understatement referenced in the finding. FEMA expenses are now reconciled to, and obligation dates retrieved from, the Federal FEMA Grants Portal to ensure project expenses are accurately reported in the proper fiscal year. Further, NES leadership and staff have been trained on the new policies and procedures, with trainings occurring in October and November 2025. The Corporate Controller, Controls and Compliance Manager, and their respective teams will meet on a quarterly basis, beginning in December 2025, to discuss SEFA activities to ensure future SEFA reports are complete. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Tabitha Beach at tbeach@nespower.com who is responsible for the corrective action.

Finding Number 2025-002 Enrollment Reporting ASCC Action Plan - 3 Contact Person(s): Shanell Tilo, Financial Aid Officer, Cr. Emilia Le'i, Dean of Student Services Dr. Letupu Moananu, Vice President of Academics, Community, and Student Affairs Explanation and specific reasons for disagreement with the audit finding or that corrective action is not required (if applicable): No disagreement. Corrective actions taken/planned: The Financial Aid Office ensures strict adherence to NSLDS reporting timelines. Institutionally, enrollment is certified monthly and the school responds within 15 days of the date NSLDS issues a roster file. Any errors identified through the NSLDS are reviewed, corrected and resubmitted within 10 days. To strengthen accuracy, completeness, and compliance, the Financial Aid Office has implemented a dual-review control system; Control #1 - The Processor (Financial Aid Coordinator) is responsible for retrieving the NSLDS Enrollment Roster, performing the initial review, data entry, and status updates. Control #1 cross-checks the roster against the SIS Pell Reconciliation Report (PRER) and ARGOS Enrollment Report. Control#1 identifies and adds students who are currently enrolled and have received Title IV at ASCC or another institution. Upon completion, notifies Control #2 via email for secondary review. Control #2 The Reviewer (Financial Aid Manager) conducts a secondary review to validate accuracy and completeness. Any discrepancies are documented and returned to Control #1 for corrections if necessary. Once data is verified, Control #2 authorizes final processing. Following approval, Control #1 manually reports and adds students via NSLDS website and completes the final sign-off, confirming that all required updates have been reported accurately and timely. A confirmation email is sent documenting the date of submission. A log of all NSLDS submissions is maintained, including submission dates and supporting documentation. The log includes evidence of both the processor and reviewer sign-off to ensure proper documentation and accountability. This tracking was implemented in January 2026 and is now part of the standard operating procedures.

Recommendation: We recommend that management implement a control to review PAI time entries to ensure they are accurate. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with this finding. Action taken in response to finding: While issues with PAI time for non-case activity were successfully remediated with the implementation of a required drop-down activity description field in the LegalServer case management system, the two erroneous entries in 2025 involved case time and resulted from cases that were opened as PAI “Yes” due to the intake occurring at a volunteer clinic and the expectation of volunteer attorney involvement that did not ultimately occur. Legal Aid Chicago's Deputy Director/General Counsel has already contacted the employees who made the errors with respect to PAI time and has included their supervisors in the communication to ensure compliance on a forward-looking basis. The Deputy Director/General Counsel will also hold a compliance training for staff covering LSC regulations by the end of Q3 2026.

Federal Program: U.S. Department of Homeland Security - FEMA Assistance Listing Number: 97.036 - Disaster Grants - Public Assistance Passthrough Entity - Arkansas Department of Emergency Management Program Year: 2025 Management concurs with the finding. Corrective Action Planned: 1. Process Improvement: Management has updated its internal grant reimbursement request process. All future reimbursement requests now require a "Duplicate Payment Verification" step, where the preparer must reconcile the current request against the cumulative total of previous requests to ensure no individual transaction is billed twice. 2. Enhanced Oversight: A secondary review by Julie Haney will now explicitly include a cross-reference of payroll periods to the general ledger to confirm the uniqueness of each request. Anticipated Completion Date: The repayment will be initiated by 05/01/2026, and the updated reconciliation procedures have been implemented as of 03/31/2026. Responsible Official: Julie Haney CFO

FINDING 2025-004 – FINANCIAL REPORTING-DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE-NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM - CFDA 10.555-SCHOOL BREAKFAST PROGRAM - CFDA 10.553-CONDITION: The School District did not make the necessary monthly adjustments to the Cafeteria Fund general ledger to properly reconcile all of the balance sheet, revenue, and expense accounts to the underlying supporting documentation on hand at the School District. Accordingly, the financial position and results of operations for the Cafeteria Fund were stated incorrectly during the 2024-2025 fiscal year. This is a repeat finding (2024-003) from the previous fiscal year.CRITERIA: Prudent internal control over accounting for federal program funds requires non-federal organizations such as the School District to maintain financial records which account for federal funds in such a manner as to be able to properly track the receipt and use of federal funds as stated in Section 2 CFR Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance.RECOMMENDATION: I am recommending that the management of the School District establish written procedures for all accounting functions, but most notably for the function of making the necessary adjustments to the School District’s Cafeteria Fund general ledger in order to properly present the financial position and results of operations of this Fund over the course of the fiscal year. Consideration should be given to either performing this process in-house based on available manpower or contracted to a third-party accounting Firm quarterly or annually independent of the audit process. Management needs to ensure the performance of these procedures monthly in order to ensure its compliance with Section 2 CFR Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance.MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: District management is reviewing its current system of processing the transactions for the Cafeteria Fund to ensure that all necessary adjustments are made on a monthly basis to the balance sheet, revenue, and expense accounts in order for them to properly reflect the financial position and results of operations of this Fund during the course of the fiscal year. The timeframe for completion of this review will occur during the last four months of the 2025-2026 fiscal year to enable the School District to comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in 2 CFR Part 200 of the Uniform Guidance.

Recommendation: We recommend that management re-evaluate its policies and procedures to ensure an appropriate member of management is in place to review all expenditures charged to federal awards, as well obtaining the approval of the federal agency when changes are made that would impact funding and or amounts charged to the federal program. Action Taken: Management has implemented revised policies and procedures in place to strengthen the controls over activities allowed and unallowed and allowable costs to reduce the risk of inaccurate, unallowable, or wrongly allocated expenses charged to the federal program.

Finding: 2025-002 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Treasury Assistance Listing Number(s): 21.027 Program Name: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) Finding Summary: Non-Federal entities other than states, including those operating federal programs as subrecipients of states, must follow the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.326. They must use their own documented procurement procedures, which reflect applicable state and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable federal statutes and the procurement requirements identified in 2 CFR Part 200. 2 CFR sections 200.212 and 200.318(h); 2 CFR section 180.300; 48 CFR section 52.2096 outlines the requirements the Non-Federal entity verify vendors for which it plans to enter into a covered transaction are not debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded. It was noted that while the County does have a purchasing policy, elements as required by Uniform Guidance are absent from the policy. In addition, we noted the County did not retain the supporting documentation indicating they had verified vendors they were entering into covered transactions with were neither suspended nor debarred. While our testing noted no instances of noncompliance, the absence of internal controls over compliance as it relates to having a Uniform Guidance compliant policy, could lead the County to enter into covered transactions that are not compliant with federal regulations. Responsible Individuals: Kyle Wilmot, Canyon County Controller. Corrective Action Plan: Members of the audit office will review each vendor in the SAM.gov database to ensure that they are not suspended, debarred or otherwise excluded. The search of these entity(s) will then be saved to the shared drive for the upcoming ACFR season and the supervisor will be notified of the search to ensure that the files have been properly saved. Anticipated Completion Date: Canyon County will complete the corrective actions for the September 30, 2026, reporting period.
