Starting in May 2024, the Alliance adapted its monthly Time and Effort Report that is reviewed by Kim Atkins, Executive Director, to be used for allocation of expenses other than payroll. This ensures a consistent, reviewed and authorized report is being used for expense allocation. This report is shared monthly with the Alliance’s funding agencies along with the submission of monthly vouchers for processing. During the year ended June 30, 2025, the Alliance has ensured that allocations were signed off on by Kim and has significantly reduced the amount of finance staff time required to process the allocation of administrative costs. As of July 1, 2025, the approved staff allocations are being uploaded into ADP in the anticipation of a direct link between ADP and the NetSuite general ledger so that personnel costs will be allocated automatically going forward. As of July 1, 2025 the Alliance is modifying all of its grants to adopt the 15% de minimis cost rate for all expenses other than personnel, direct program, and space costs.

Recommendation: After thoroughly reviewing the unique circumstance that led to this audit finding, we have determined that it is highly unlikely to recur. Given the organization's strong compliance history and familiarity with SEFA reporting under Uniform Guidance, we do not see a cost-effective benefit to revamping internal controls specifically for the issue. Instead, we recommend continuing to: review government awards, provide refresher trainings to staff, and conduct periodic reviews of internal controls to ensure ongoing compliance. These measures will effectively address the finding without incurring unnecessary costs. Planned Action: The organization acknowledges this was a unique situation and it is unlikely to recur. As a precaution, we will be reviewing training with staff and conduct periodic and annual reviews of the SEFA related funds. We will also continue to bring unique situations to the attention f the auditors to maintain our strong compliance history.

Finding 2024-002: Federal Transit Cluster – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment (Noncompliance and Significant Deficiency in Internal Control) Condition: In some procurement files, TANK had missing documentation of procurement history, missing required contract clauses, lack of evidence of contractor responsibility determination and missing lobbying and Buy America certifications. Corrective Action: TANK implemented new procurement procedures and a revised checklist which outline and confirm all of the FTA-required clauses for any federal procurement. TANK documented and submitted procedures for obtaining signed lobbying and Buy America certifications in all procurements over $100,000/$150,000. TANK documented our procurement procedure which requires a responsibility determination to verify that contractors were not debarred or suspended from participating in federal awards by checking for System Award Management (SAM) certification. TANK included in the new procurement procedures an update of the record-keeping of procurement history to include elements such as rationale for the method of procurement; selection of contract type; reason for contractor selection or rejection; and basis for the contract price. Responsible Party: Lyndi Whiteker, Procurement Analyst Anticipated Completion Date: Complete and findings were closed between 7/19/2024-11/26/2024.

Finding 2024-001: Federal Transit Cluster – Cash Management/Financial Management and Capacity (Noncompliance and Significant Deficiency in Internal Control) Condition: TANK staff drew down federal funds in advance of allowable expenditures and did not disburse the federal funds within the required three business days. Corrective Action: TANK has worked with the FTA to address this finding. We have developed procedures for: adherence to federal regulations related to federal grants management, training of all staff involved in the management of federal grants, and identifying back-ups who are trained/educated on doing this work. The procedures include explicit instruction on federal drawdown procedures and timelines, ECHO Reimbursement procedures, cash management of federal funds and training plans/compliance associated with these drawdowns. The procedures have been accepted by the FTA and are now active. Repayment was made to the grant in May 2025 and no penalties were assessed. Responsible Party: Sutton Rowley, FP&A Manager Anticipated Completion Date: Complete and finding was closed on March 24, 2025.

Management of Franciscan Alliance, Inc. and Affiliates (“Franciscan”) considers the implementation and monitoring of effective internal controls to be one of its most important responsibilities, especially as they relate to the funds received from the Federal government. Management has continued to promote sound business practices and effective internal controls across the organization through communication, training, and consistent enforcement of the Franciscan’s policies. The following are the Views and Corrective Action Plans of Management regarding the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 for Franciscan. AUDIT FINDING 2024-001 – Compliance with Reporting Requirements MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSE: Management concurs that the sole source justification was not formally documented prior to the time of procurement. Franciscan’s procurement policy already includes clear criteria for sole source contracting, including the requirement that such procurements be supported by documented justification and approved by the Vice President Supply Chain. The policy outlines specific conditions under which sole source justification is permitted and requires Supply Chain to verify price reasonableness using benchmarking tools or known pricing data. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: Franciscan implemented a new procurement software in the fourth quarter of 2024. The software has a required field for users to select if the procurement is sole-source and if it is, another required field activates for the user to provide a reason for sole-source. Once a procurement request is submitted by the user, the sourcing team reviews the request and verifies it has the appropriate approval if it is sole-sourced. RESPONSIBLE PERSONS: Sarah Burdick, Administrative Director Strategic Sourcing, Franciscan Alliance, Inc. COMPLETION DATE: December 2024
