Contacts: Brian Lutz, VP of Accounting; Rob Busteed, Director of Accounting Contact Phone Numbers: 479-967-5570 Ext. 2013; 479-725-5117 Audit Period Ending: June 30, 2025 2025-001: The Corporation failed to meet the 80% level of effort requirements as stipulated in the grant agreements. Management concurs with the finding. Arisa’s time-keeping application is designed to meet FLSA recordkeeping requirements. This system does not contain a solution to subdivide hours worked by project in a manner that would satisfy level of effort reporting. Arisa will require employees in positions that are partially or fully funded through a federal contract containing level of effort requirements to complete and submit a separate paper timesheet documenting time worked on the federal contract. In addition, subcontractors will be required to include a certification on their invoices that applicable level of effort requirements were met. Program Staff were alerted of the deficiencies in April 2026. Completion date: May 2026.

Finding 2025-003: Period of Performance – Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and compliance finding. Management Response The agency has added another level of review for Requests for Reimbursement (RFRs) to improve internal controls. Effective 10.01.2025, grant expense charges are processed as follows: 1. Finance Assistant creates grant Request for Reimbursement (RFR). Upon completion of the RFR, theAssistant signs the RFR as completed, then submits completed RFR along with supportingdocumentation to the EVP of Finance. Formerly, the creation of the RFR was being done by the EVP of Finance, with the addition of staff, we were able to relocate those duties to Finance Assistance in the Fall of 2025. 2. The EVP of Finance reviews the RFR for correct calculations and if the appropriate supportingdocumentation is attached. The EVP of Finance signs the RFR, then presents it to the ChiefOperating Officer for final approval. 3. Chief Operating Officer receives RFR from EVP of Finance, reviews RFR and approves for submissionto the Grantor or sends back for corrections. Adding a staff member in the Finance department allowed us to add another level of approval. In addition, notations have been made on all internal grant tracking documents, as to the start of each grant period. A payroll pay calendar is accessible to verify the exact dates covered on a pay period.

Corrective Action Plan Finding No: 2025-002 Condition: During the audit, the City did not verify that the contractor or subcontractor submitted the required certified payrolls for work performed under the federally assisted construction contract. As a result, the City did not maintain or review sufficient documentation to demonstrate compliance with wage rate requirements for all applicable weeks during the audit period. Management’s Plan: The City recognizes the need to improve internal controls related to grant disbursements for labor provided by our contractors. The project this past year included participation from multiple federal funding agencies and payments by the City as well as direct payments to contractors by the funding agencies. We have already added additional procedures and checkpoints to provide for adequate documentation related to certified payrolls. In addition, the City is planning to procure a grant tracking system to automate tracking the details for every project.

Corrective Action Plan Finding No: 2025-001 Condition: During the audit, our procedures indicated that capital expenditures were primarily reviewed at an individual invoice level to determine whether they exceeded the capitalization threshold. We also noted that communication between the City’s finance department and engineers or other City staff responsible for managing grants and capital projects is not consistently formalized. Management’s Plan: Management is committed to strengthening coordination and oversight of the City’s grant-funded capital projects through centralizing project tracking via grant/project management software, implementing rigorous compliance monitoring, and improving intradepartmental communication. By centralizing our grants through the course of their lifespans, we intend to better track the progress of our grant projects and budgets and with the inclusion of grant document storage, to enhance compliance across departments. We will also designate coordination teams consisting of liaisons across administration, finance, engineering, public works, and grant writers to ensure internal alignment.

The YMCA and Affiliates’ have begun enhancing internal controls related to the reporting process through additional staff training, increased cross-training of personnel responsible for report preparation and submission, and the development of more formalized review procedures.

The Organization acknowledges and concurs with the auditor’s finding as discussed within the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for the year-ended September 30, 2025. During the audit for PTV’s fiscal year 2025, it was determined that we should add an additional layer of confirmation to our approval process. Currently, the President reviews invoices prior to signing the checks, thereby signaling approval. Moving forward, in addition to this review, the President will also confirm approval by initialing the invoice itself. Beyond this initial next step, PTV will also review its current Fiscal Policy to consider implementation of an approval process that allows other authorized approvers the authority to review expenses up to certain thresholds. Policy development at this level requires Finance Committee involvement and full Board approval, so it may take several months to fully implement a new process. We appreciate the opportunity to continue to strengthen PTV’s internal controls and financial operations.

2025-002 PROCUREMENT, SUSPENSION & DEBARMENT Condition: The Organization did not comply with the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirement Recommendation: The Organization executed the contract in question in June 2024, and the related project was completed in April 2025. The Organization's 2024 audit was not issued until May 2025. Consequently, the Organization was not aware of the Davis-Bacon Act applicability during the period of contract execution and project performance and therefore did not have the opportunity to amend the contract to incorporate the Davis-Bacon Act requirements. In response to the findings identified in the prior year audit, the Organization has since implemented new policies and procedures to ensure timely identification of applicable compliance requirements for future contracts. Corrective Action Plan: The Director of Finance/CFO prepared a summary document regarding the federal guidelines on procurement, in particular highlighting this requirement concerning the Davis- Bacon act.

2025-001 PROCUREMENT, SUSPENSION & DEBARMENT Condition: We identified an instance where the Organization did not verify the suspension and debarment status of a vendor prior to awarding the vendor a federal contract. Documentation of verification through SAM.gov or equivalent methods could not be provided by management. Subsequent review of SAM.gov indicated no instances of suspended or debarred vendors used on the project funded with federal awards. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization ensure the staff involved with procuring contracts using federal awards are aware of the federal requirement, including the already established policies that the Organization has regarding such requirements. Corrective Action Plan: The contract associated with this finding was signed on January 24, 2025, before the 2024 financial audit was finished, so before the organization made changes to their procurement policy. Since then, the organization has reviewed its existing procurement policy, and updated it as necessary and will ensure that for future projects, the procurement policy will be carefully followed, including verification through SAM.gov. Staff involved in projects and procurement will receive training regarding the policies and the federal guidelines for federally funded projects.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Title: Supportive Housing for the Elderly Section 232 ALN Number: 14.129 Award Period: Year Ended December 31, 2025 Type of Finding: • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance • Other Matters Criteria or specific requirement: HUD requires a signed management fee agreement when such transactions take place. Condition: Unallowed related party transactions were identified in 2025. Context: Affiliate dues were booked to the Home's cash clearing account as a credit for $400,000 with the understanding that these fees would qualify as a service contract rather than a management fee. However, due to the cash infused into the program by The Carmelite System, the $400,000 will not be noted as questioned costs needing to be repaid into the project. Recommendation: The Home should adhere to the Regulatory Agreement and obtain HUD’s approval prior to taking any actions specifically precluded in the Regulatory Agreement. Action taken in response to finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Management will work to obtain proper approval going forward. If the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has questions regarding this schedule, please call Corrinne Schindler at 518-537-7500 or CSchindler@CarmeliteSystem.org.

Management agrees with the finding and acknowledges that internal controls over inventory issuance were not consistently followed by an individual. While procedures existed requiring documentation of pick tickets, compliance with these procedures was not adequately enforced on a small number of transactions. The Cooperative has begun strengthening its internal control processes to ensure that all inventory withdrawals are properly authorized and documented prior to release. In addition, management will implement monitoring procedures, including periodic reviews of inventory documentation, to ensure compliance with established controls. Training will also be provided to all relevant personnel to reinforce proper procedures and the importance of adherence to internal control requirements. Management expects these corrective actions to be fully implemented by May 15, 2026.
