Management concurs with the findings. Due to staffing transitions and competing priorities during the year-end close process, certain accounting adjustments were not identified and recorded until audit fieldwork commenced. While the adjustments were subsequently recorded and reflected in the final financial statements, management recognizes that all significant year-end adjustments should be identified, reviewed, and posted prior to the start of the audit. Management will strengthen year-end financial reporting procedures to ensure all material adjustments are identified and recorded before audit fieldwork begins. Specific actions include: • Developing and implementing a comprehensive year-end closing checklist that includes all required reconciliations, accruals, estimates, and financial statement review procedures. • Establishing formal timelines for completion and review of year-end account reconciliations and adjusting journal entries.

Finding #2024-005 – Lack of Written Grant Procedures over Federal Programs Criteria: Under Federal Uniform Guidance, all non-Federal subrecipient entities must establish and maintain written policies and procedures over Federal programs. Written grant procedures are required in the areas of verifying allowable costs, cash management, and conflicts of interest, while procurement, subrecipient monitoring, and reporting procedures should also be included. Condition: During their audit procedures, the auditors noted that the City did not have comprehensive written grant procedures governing key compliance areas. Cause: The City’s management has relied on informal practices and institutional knowledge rather than formulating a grant procedures manual. Effect: Without written procedures, there is an increased risk of noncompliance with Uniform Guidance, including improper cost charging, non-compliant procurement, untimely drawdowns or cash on hand, inadequate subrecipient oversight, and ineffective internal controls. This exposes the City to the risk of questioned costs, potential repayment of federal funds, audit findings, and other possible impacts. Recommendation: The auditors recommend that the City develop, approve, and implement a consolidated Federal grant procedures manual. The procedures should not be a replication of the Federal requirements but instead step-by-step processes that are necessary to be in compliance with the Federal guidelines. Response: The City will begin the process of drafting and approving a Federal grant procedures manual in order to be in compliance with Federal requirements going forward.

Finding #2024-001 – Material Audit Adjustments Criteria: Proper financial closing and year-end reconciliation procedures should be in place to identify and adjust the financial records to ensure the financial statements are fairly stated. Condition: The auditors proposed audit adjustments that, if not made, would have resulted in the financial statements being materially misstated. Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and material adjustments were needed in order to correct various transactions. Effect: The City’s system of internal control may not prevent, detect, or correct misstatements in the financial statements. Financial reports generated by the accounting system may not provide an accurate reflection of the City’s financial position or activities. Not reconciling accounts on a timely basis could lead to errors or other problems not being recognized and resolved. Recommendation: The auditors recommend that policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded and reconciled in a timely manner. Response: The City acknowledges their responsibility for the financial statements and recording of the current year activity. Going forward, the City will work toward verifying that all activity is completely and accurately recorded in the financial records and reflected on the financial statements.

The District concurs with the finding and acknowledges the importance of maintaining complete and accessible documentation to support federal expenditures, compliance activities, reimbursement requests, and financial reporting in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. The condition identified in the audit resulted from grant management, documentation retention, and accounting practices that existed prior to the current administration. During fiscal year 2025-2026, the District implemented significant corrective measures to strengthen federal grants management, financial oversight, documentation retention, and compliance monitoring. The District established enhanced grant administration procedures designed to improve the organization, retention, and accessibility of grant records. Grant expenditures, reimbursement requests, budget monitoring documents, approval records, and supporting documentation are now maintained in centralized electronic files to improve audit readiness and support compliance monitoring activities. In addition, the District strengthened coordination among program administrators, the Business Office, and District administration to improve oversight of federal grant activity. Grant budgets, expenditures, reimbursements, and compliance requirements are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure expenditures are properly supported, allowable, and consistent with grant requirements. The District has also implemented procedures to improve grant-level tracking and monitoring of revenues and expenditures and has worked to ensure that grant activity is supported by documentation sufficient to demonstrate compliance with applicable federal requirements. Efforts have been made to strengthen record retention practices, improve financial reporting by grant award, and maintain documentation necessary to support future audit and monitoring activities. The District will continue to formalize written procedures governing federal grant administration, accounting, reconciliation, reimbursement processing, documentation retention, and compliance monitoring. Staff responsible for grant administration will continue to receive guidance and training regarding documentation and record retention requirements. The District believes that the corrective actions implemented during FY26 have substantially strengthened internal controls over federal grants management, documentation retention, and financial reporting and have significantly improved the District's ability to demonstrate compliance with federal program requirements.
