Management Corrective Action Plan: The District acknowledges the finding regarding the untimely submission of required reports to the Pennsylvania Department of Education related to federal grant programs. Management recognizes the importance of timely and accurate reporting to ensure compliance with grant requirements and maintain effective oversight of federal funding. The delays in submission were primarily the result of staffing transitions within the Business Office and challenges associated with completing prior year financial information needed for reporting purposes. The District has worked cooperatively with the Pennsylvania Department of Education throughout this process and has taken steps to address outstanding reporting requirements. To address this matter, the District has begun implementing corrective actions which include: Establishing internal reporting calendars and compliance deadlines for all required state and federal submissions; Assigning specific staff responsibilities for grant reporting and monitoring; Implementing supervisory review procedures to ensure reports are completed accurately and submitted timely; and Providing additional oversight and coordination related to federal grant compliance and reporting requirements. Individual(s) Responsible: CFO, Finance Officer Anticipated Completion Date: Prior to issuance of the Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Statements

The Organization should develop a compliance calendar that includes financial reporting deadlines and set automatic reminders in advance of each deadline to aid in properly planning and timing submission of reporting packages. Additionally, the Organization should engage the audit firm well before the fiscal year end, and the auditors should put this engagement on their calendar well in advance of the due date. The Organization should establish a timeline with the auditors that aligns with internal deadlines to ensure sufficient time to conduct the audit. The Organization’s Board of Directors should be more actively engaged in the auditing and reporting process to establish a greater degree of accountability and oversight.

Prior Year Finding Number: 2023-005 Criteria: Pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, under Section 200.512(a), the County is required to complete and submit its Single Audit and related Data Collection Form within nine months of the end of its fiscal period (September 30) of the following year. Condition/Context The County's Single Audit and reporting package was delayed for the year ended December 31, 2023 beyond the nine-month due date. Effect: The County is not in compliance with certain requirements of the Uniform Guidance, including the Single Audit reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: Reconciliations and reports were not completed on a timely basis, and therefore, the completion and filing of its December 31, 2023 Single Audit and reporting package was not prioritized. Recommendation: We recommend that County management review its staffing and personnel responsibilities to prioritize the completion of its audit responsibilities within the prescribed timeframes. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The County plans to have information ready for the auditors to get 2024 done in a reasonable time frame. Between staffing and priorities, the County hopes to have cleared by the 2025 audit.

Parties responsible for all action items: CEO First Person Care Clinic – Harsh Chhawchharia, harsh@firstpersonclinic.org, phone 702-572-3500 Controller First Person Care Clinic – Demetrio Ordas, dordas@firstpersonclinic.org, phone 702-572-3500 Finding 2024- 001 Reporting (L) Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance. Throughout 2024, our organization struggled to overcome ongoing obstacles due to a lack of personnel. Despite our efforts to hire additional administrative support, the process proved arduous, and we encountered difficulties in finding suitable candidates. In our quest for solutions, we proactively engaged with other FQHCs and NV PCA, exploring the potential for collaborative personnel arrangements. Moreover, our existing staff members underwent periods of illness, as did their families, further straining our capacity to fulfill our responsibilities effectively. As a result, the burden on our small team, consisting of just one additional staff member alongside myself and the CFO, became overwhelming. Juggling multiple roles and responsibilities amid personal and familial health challenges made it exceedingly difficult to keep up with the demanding workload. These circumstances underscored the urgent need for additional support and highlighted the critical importance of finding viable solutions to address our staffing limitations. CEO and CFO Timeframe: 2-4 months a. Staff Augmentation: We are actively working on hiring dedicated administrative support staff who will be responsible for assisting with routine tasks. This strategic addition to our team will allow the CEO and CFO to focus more effectively on their core responsibilities. b. Streamlined Processes: We are in the process of reviewing and optimizing our internal processes. This critical step will help enhance the overall efficiency of managing tasks related to federal reporting and grants management. c. Task Delegation: With the inclusion of additional staff members, we will delegate specific responsibilities to ensure that FFR quarterly reports are not only prepared but also submitted promptly. d. Reporting Calendar: We will be implementing a comprehensive reporting calendar that clearly outlines deadlines and assigns responsibilities. This organized approach will assist us in staying on track and meeting our reporting obligations consistently. e. Training and Development: Our team is committed to continuous improvement. To this end, we will be providing training and development opportunities for our staff to enhance their skills and knowledge in grants management and federal reporting. This investment in their professional development will result in greater accuracy and efficiency. In addition to these measures, we are exploring the possibility of engaging a third-party company if we encounter challenges in hiring employees directly. We are actively in discussions with other hiring companies and Locum tenants companies as needed to ensure that we have all the resources required to address this issue effectively. By implementing these measures, we aim to overcome historical challenges related to understaffing and limited access to essential resources. The collaborative efforts of the FPCC finance team, combined with streamlined processes and improved technology, will position us to submit FFR quarterly reports and the annual submission to the federal clearinghouse promptly and efficiently.

Condition During the 2024 fiscal year, grant expenditures related to a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania grant (see finding 2024-001) for the public safety building were reported in the American Rescue Plan fund. Since they were reported in the American Rescue Plan fund they were then included in the report submitted for that time period. Cause The decentralized grant administration at the City lead to missing communication between the departments and the improper accounting for the public safety building grant. Recommendation The City should continue to refine its grant administration and accounting functions to allow for a seamless accounting for grant awards. The current decentralized structure for grant administration can allow for grants awarded to not be properly accounted for and grant reimbursement or expenditures not performed timely. Management Response City management agrees with this finding. Grants Manager is in training to use the automated tracking system within Tyler Munis. The system has much greater capability than what we have been using or leveraging to date. During the first 2 quarters of 2026 we are taking steps to use the Tyler Maturity Model to refine and make sure we fully built out and turned on all features, including those for grant activity and project management. We look forward to the opportunity to grow and professionally our operations and grant accounting. Anticipated Completion Date - June 2026 Sincerely, Michael R. Oppenheimer City Controller City of Reading

Significant Deficiency Finding Number: 2024-003 Federal Award Finding and Questioned Costs Corrective Action Plan The City will evaluate their processes and procedures over internal controls to ensure that all employee rate changes and payroll registers are appropriately documented and maintained. While we maintain that oversight was in place, we concur with the finding and have identified the responsibility of the process to be placed on the finance department's fiscal assistants. The lack of documented review of the reporting process is noted, and procedures are now in place for documentation of the review and approval of the data as it is reported on portals as required. The Finance Officer will direct an accountant on staff or a professional consultant to complete the preparation of the reporting so that he/she can review and authorize the submission of reports. The implementation of upgraded software and strengthened internal control policies and procedures is a priority. Anticipated Completion Date September 30, 2026 Responsible Party The Finance Officer

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Finding – 2024-001 Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Funds, ALN 21.027 Compliance Requirement - Reporting Criteria Recipients of SLFRF funds are required to submit complete, accurate and timely Project and Expenditure Reports in accordance with U.S. Department of Treasury guidance and the Uniform Guidance. Reporting requirements include: • Accurate reporting of obligations and expenditures by project and expenditure category. • Submission of all required data elements prescribed by Treasury. • Retention of documentation is sufficient to support reported financial and programmatic information. Condition The County did not fully comply with U.S. Department of Treasury SLFRF reporting requirements for the period ended December 31, 2024. Specifically, the County’s Project and Expenditure Report submitted through the Treasury Reporting Portal was incomplete and/or inaccurate. Noted exception included: • Inaccurate reporting of obligated and expended amounts for one or more SLFRF projects. As a result, the SLFRF report submitted was not complete, accurate, or fully supported as required. Recommendation We recommend that the County: 1) Establish and document formal SLFRF reporting policies and procedures. 2) Implement a reconciliation process between accounting records and reported SLFRF data. 3) Require supervisory review and approval of all SLFRF submissions prior to reporting to Treasury. 4) Provide ongoing training to staff responsible for SLFRF compliance and reporting. 5) Maintain complete and organized documentation to support all reported obligations and expenditures. Response We are in agreement with the recommendation and management will take steps to strengthen internal controls over SLFRF reporting. These actions include enhancing reconciliation procedures between the accounting records and amounts reported to the Treasury reporting portal and implementing an additional level of supervisory review prior to report submission. Anticipated Completion Date This will be corrected for the December 31, 2025 audit. Person Responsible Deborah Gallo Deputy County Treasurer

Corrective Action Planned: Management acknowledges the finding related to the lack of formal policies or procedures in place requiring independent review or approval of vaccine inventory reconciliations prior to submission of the Vaccine Order Form during the time of the audit. 1. Inventory Reconciliation Workflow and System Controls The State of Connecticut utilizes CT WiZ, a centralized vaccine ordering and supply management system. To maintain ordering privileges, the program enforces a strict regulatory safeguard: inventory must be fully reconciled every two weeks. Failure to complete this reconciliation triggers an automated, hard stop within CT WiZ, preventing any additional vaccine orders from being placed. To ensure absolute accuracy and data integrity, our practice executes a standardized, threepart reconciliation process that typically leverages a dual-provider verification model: • Part 1: Physical Count (Floor Staff): Clinical nurses on the floor conduct a manual, physical inventory of all vaccine doses, cross-referencing exact lot numbers and expiration dates. • Part 2: Electronic Health Record Alignment (Coordinator): The designated Vaccine Coordinator reviews the physical counts against the electronic Lot Manager log within Epic to identify and resolve any administrative discrepancies. • Part 3: State System Data Entry (Coordinator): The verified quantities are formally submitted into the CT WiZ portal to complete the biweekly cycle and clear the system for subsequent orders. Staffing Redundancy: While a single coordinator may occasionally manage all three steps if cross-covering the floor, the workflow is deliberately structured to divide tasks between floor nurses (physical counts) and site coordinators (via EMR reconciliation and CT WiZ entry). 2. Vaccine Oversight Team Vaccine operations are managed through a centralized leadership structure with site-specific accountability to ensure consistent oversight at clinic locations. Vaccine operations may be managed by a senior nurse practice manager, practice manager, lead nurse or a backup coordinator. This triad ensures continuous coverage, strict adherence to ordering schedules, and immediate troubleshooting for storage or inventory alerts. 3. Storage, Handling, and Annual Training Compliance In alignment with state oversight expectations and the strict guidelines governing CVP asset management, cold-chain integrity and proper handling are heavily protected. To mitigate risk and standardize knowledge across all care teams, the following educational requirements are mandated: • Mandatory Annual Training: All rostered nursing personnel - including core staff, float pool, and per diem nurses - are strictly required to complete annual training modules dedicated to CVP guidelines and CDC Storage and Handling. • Verification of Competency: Training must be completed through the official CDC TRAIN platform, and employees must submit their earned certificates of completion to clinical leadership to be maintained on file for audit readiness.

Corrective Action Planned: Management acknowledges the finding related to the lack of formal documentation maintained evidencing a hindsight review of employee working hours to verify alignment between actual hours. The Effort Reporting requirement is now met with a revamped process that includes an updated institutional effort reporting policy and development of a newly developed effort reporting workflow that aligned with the relatively recent (April 2024) implementation of new ERP system Oracle. This new process applies to those team members who have effort either charged, in-kind or cost-shared, to a grant funded project. The new Effort Reporting workflow formally went live institution wide on 10/1/25, with a pilot implementation done in September 2025. Effort reporting is conducted monthly and requires a preview of all team members with effort allocated to grants from an automated report. Each report is reviewed for accuracy and then each line item is entered into a Smartsheet format for automated delivery of an individual effort report to each team member. A mid-month report is automated to flag and identify upcoming end dates of grant funding in preparation of the next month effort report. This midmonth review is necessary to adjust for any edits needed in preparation for the next month effort report workflow. In addition, the new process allows for follow up with escalation if individual effort report(s) are not signed by respective team member(s) within the prescribed monthly due date.
