CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (Concerning Finding 2024-001) Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Margaret White, Superintendent Corrective Action: RSU 84 will take the following actions to address finding 2024-001 Wage Rate Requirements. As stated in last year’s Corrective Action Plan, starting on May 1, 2023, RSU 84 began implementing internal control processes and procedures to ensure we followed the criteria for Special Test and Provisions Wage Rate Requirements. We asked for a prevailing wage rate clause in the contract provisions for construction contracts and obtained copies of certified payrolls. Moving forward, current and future year construction projects paid for with federal and/or state funding will include further Davis Bacon language. Starting in the FY 25 Davis Bacon contracts RSU 84 will include the missing language attached to this Corrective Action Plan. Payroll certifications will be received with each invoice submitted for payment to the district and reviewed by the Business Manager for compliance with Davis Bacon guidelines as applicable. A copy of the OMB Circulars containing the CFR guidelines has been received and reviewed by the Business Manager and applicable grant managers/coordinators to implement a more stringent internal control process and procedure to ensure all requirements are followed. The Business Manager will update the district’s administrative team and central office staff on applicable guidelines to ensure compliance with all projects paid for by federal and/or state funding. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2025 Sincerely, Margaret C. White Superintendent RSU 84/MSAD 14 Basic Record Requirements- All regular payrolls and other basic records must be maintained by the contractor and any subcontractor during the course of the work and preserved for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work (or otherwise working in construction or development of the project under a development statute) for a period of at least three years after all the work on the prime contract is completed. Certified Payroll Requirements- The contractor or subcontractor must submit weekly, for each week in which any DBA-or Related Acts-covered work is performed, certified payrolls to the [appropriate Federal agency] if the agency is a party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the contractor will submit the certified payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, owner, or other entity, as the case may be, that maintains such records, for transmission to the [write name of agency]. The prime contractor is responsible for the submission of all certified payrolls by all subcontractors. A contracting agency or prime contractor may permit or require contractors to submit certified payrolls through an electronic system, as long as the electronic system requires a legally valid electronic signature; the system allows the contractor, the contracting agency, and the Department of Labor to access the certified payrolls upon request for at least three years after the work on the prime contract has been completed; and the contracting agency or prime contractor permits other methods of submission in situations where the contractor is unable or limited in its ability to use or access the electronic system.

2024-001 Inadequate Documentation Criteria: Under Uniform Guidance, costs charged to federal programs need to be supported with proper documentation and reviewed to make sure they’re accurate, necessary, and allowed. Condition: During our testing of reimbursement and cost allocations charged to federal awards, we noted multiple instances where documentation supporting the expenditures was incomplete or missing. Specifically: • Several allocations lacked invoices or receipts to support the claimed amounts. • Mileage reimbursements were not recalculated or independently reviewed before payment. • A charge of $410 was identified as fraudulent but was still charged to a federal grant. Cause: The organization’s internal review procedures over cost allocations and reimbursements were not consistently applied. Questioned Costs: We identified $1,101 in costs that may not be allowable. Effect: Without proper documentation and review, there’s a greater risk that unallowable costs could be charged to the grant, which may result in questioned costs or repayment. Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend that the organization strengthen its internal control procedures related to cost allocation and reimbursement by: • Requiring complete supporting documentation (e.g., invoices, receipts) for all claimed costs. • Implementing formal review and approval processes. • Training staff responsible for reimbursement requests and approvals on federal requirements. Grantee Response: WCASA acknowledges the finding and has since transitioned to a new financial services provider with strong knowledge of our systems and Uniform Guidance requirements. As part of this transition, additional procedures have been established to ensure proper documentation and review, including: • Requiring documentation for all reimbursement requests • Training personnel on federal requirements for allowable costs • Strengthening the review and approval process

Corrective Action Planned: The USGA will enhance the procedures within its Policy for the Acquisition of Goods & Services relating to procurements utilizing Federal funding. In particular, the Policy will be amended so that adequate documentation is retained to ensure compliance with the requirements for the procurement methods described in 2 CFR §200.320. Further, the updated Policy will include additional requirements to ensure that applicable documentation of the USGA’s suspension and debarment verification procedures is retained and attached to any related purchase order in the USGA’s ERP system. At the time of the Policy’s approval by the USGA’s Executive Leadership team, the document will be shared with all employees and posted on our internal shared site where Finance related policies are stored and may be referred to. The USGA’s Finance/Accounting Department will be responsible for identifying grants to which the updated Policy applies and to assist with retaining the relevant documentation. The USGA’s Finance/Accounting Department will also develop a unique coding/project identifier to assist with ensuring that the request to purchase via a Purchase Order (PO) is visibly different than a generic PO when Federal funding is involved.

Student Registration and Financial Services (SRFS) and the Office of the University Registrar (OUR) will continue collaboration with school partners and the office of the Provost to reinforce university policies and procedures. Over the course of the last year (as the newly implemented system entered its second year), the university has increased the number and expertise level of employees in the OUR and offered entry level training to key stakeholders. OUR generated its first Enrollment Reporting out of the new system (Banner Student) in Summer 2022. We expect to achieve steady state processing, when moving from the main frame to ERP system within five years of go-live. SRFS will increase the depth of the training sessions by working with school registrars to help bolster their understanding and expertise. The SRFS and OUR will use various monitoring reports and data to identify areas of concern and to inform training offerings.

Management concurs with the finding. As noted in our response to the previous finding, the Organization experienced significant turnover of accounting staff during the audit period, which disrupted monthly reconciliation processes and contributed to delays in finalizing the audited financial statements. These delays ultimately resulted in the late submission of required reporting to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The corrective actions in the first finding, along with taking steps to begin the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 audit process earlier than in previous years, will allow additional time to complete the audit and meet federal filing deadlines. Management is committed to ensuring timely reporting going forward, and will monitor progress closely to ensure all future submissions are completed within the required timeframe.

2024-001 CORECTIVE ACTION PLAN The City attempted to file the required quarterly reports during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024. However, the U.S. Treasury changed the reporting software during the first quarter of 2023. Due to a technical issue with the file validation process, the City was unable to submit the reports. The information was tracked and compiled but the software prevented the City from completing the reporting process. The City contacted the technical support team numerous times for assistance in resolving this issue, however the issue was not resolved until the first quarter of 2025 when the U.S. Treasury staff were able to delete the transaction that was causing the validation error. That transaction was re-entered into the portal and the City was finally able to validate and file a report. Given the successful filing of the report in 2025, the City does not believe this will be an issue going forward. RESPONSIBLE PERSON Linda Read, Comptroller/Deputy Treasurer IMPLEMENTATION DATE OF CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN The technical issue has finally been resolved by the U.S. Treasury and the report for the first quarter 2025 was successfully filed on June 24, 2025. All balances have been properly obligated as of the December 31, 2024 program deadline.

2024-002 CORECTIVE ACTION PLAN The grant award was formally accepted via city council resolution on December 5, 2023, and the mayor signed the grant award in January 2024. Once the award was formally accepted, additional time lapsed while the program was activated, and roles were assigned in the reporting and payment portals. Administration of the police grants is typically handled by the Aurora Police Department and finance staff who are familiar with the policies and procedures associated with administering these grants, however, due to the technical nature of the grant, the information technology staff was administrating the grant and missed the reporting deadlines resulting in two late reports. The City finance staff will continue to diligently monitor the grant reporting requirements to ensure compliance for future grant programs. RESPONSIBLE PERSON Linda Read, Comptroller/Deputy Treasurer IMPLEMENTATION DATE OF CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN All reports for this grant program have been submitted in a timely manner since July 31, 2024.
