Federal Program: Consolidated Health Centers Grant Assistance Listing No. 93.224 & 93.527 Recommendation: Our auditors recommended the Organization to review internal controls in regards to retaining the completed sliding fee applications in the patients record to support the sliding fee discount provided to the patient. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Organization is aware of the importance of properly applying the sliding fee scale to all eligible patients. We feel that we have strong policies and procedures to ensure this is performed accurately. However, the process is dependent on many individuals and is susceptible to human error. We will implement the following process to mitigate this risk. We will increase our internal audit procedures to audit sliding fee applications on a more frequent basis for any Enrollment Specialist who fails to maintain a 5% error rate. We will increase the number of Sliding Fee Discount applications to 5 every month. We will also conduct a retraining with the team to ensure all documents are uploaded into the document management system correctly for each patient. If the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has questions regarding this plan, please call Brian Johnston, CFO at 303-665-3036.

Recommendation: Our auditors recommended the Organization to review internal controls in regards to the determination, recording, and monitoring of the sliding fee process to ensure that appropriate sliding fee rates/categories are utilized for each sliding fee encounter and that the support for the sliding fee discounts is retained. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Organization recognizes the deficiency of internal controls regarding determination, recording, and monitoring of the sliding fee process from application through adjustment. The Organization has acknowledged that along with our Finance Team being new to the position for all of 2023 along with the realization that our electronic medical record was making an automatic adjustment on the Federal Poverty Level.

For the Kahle Complete Street Project 22‐DG‐11051900‐022, the first semi‐annual report covering July 1 – Dec 31, 2022 was 2 months late due to a misunderstanding in when reports needed to be submitted. Per the agreement, staff thought that reports only needed to be submitted when expenditures on the grant commenced. Expenditures on the grant did not commence until after January 1, 2023. Once the grant administrator expressed that reporting had to be completed even if no grant funds were spent, the report was completed. In the future, staff will be advised to add all calendar dates in the agreement to their calendar upon receipt of an executed agreement. For Marlette Creek 20‐PA‐11051900‐018, annual reports are required per the agreement by March 31 each year. The report on for the calendar year of 2022 due on March 31, 2023 was submitted on April 3, 2023. March 31 fell on a Friday and staff was out of the office and completed and submitted the report on Monday as a result, so the report was effectively one business day late. Staff should add a buffer to their calendar reminders for the report due dates to avoid possible vacations as well as weekends. For Burke Creek Rabe Meadow Riparian Restoration Project 19‐PA‐11051900‐021, the semi‐annual report covering July 1‐December 31, 2022 was due January 31, 2023 and was submitted one day late on February 1, 2023. While staff was reminded on this due date, other work items likely took precedence on the date this date delaying the submission of the report until February 1, 2023. Staff should add a buffer to their calendar as described above. A 10 day buffer should be sufficient.

U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Recommendation: We recommend that CAC Discontinue the use of unrestricted gift cards for CSBG funded participant assistance. Implement policies requiring that any gift cards or vouchers be restricted at the vendor level to allowable CSBG purposes or replaced with alternative assistance mechanisms that provide adequate safeguards. Consult state CSBG administering agency guidance prior to implementing participant assistance methods to ensure costs are allowable and properly controlled. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: CAC does not disagree with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management acknowledges the finding regarding the provision of direct assistance using Relief Assistance (RAP) gift cards under the CSBG program. In its role as a designated essential service provider, CAC used CSBG funds to provide direct assistance to eligible individuals and families in need. RAP cards were used for allowable purchases such as food, household items, clothing, and personal necessities. Management explored options to implement vendor-based restrictions on card usage; however, no vendors were identified with the capability to apply such restrictions. As an alternative, CAC implemented participant acknowledgment forms outlining allowable uses and restrictions. Due to COVID-related conditions at the time, post-distribution verification procedures were not feasible. Upon further evaluation of Uniform Guidance requirements and program-specific restrictions, management determined that this approach did not provide sufficient control to ensure allowability. Based on this determination, CAC has discontinued the use of unrestricted gift cards for CSBG-funded participant assistance and will not utilize federal funds for direct assistance cards unless they can be appropriately restricted and controlled in accordance with program requirements. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: The prohibition against using CSBG funds for unrestricted gift cards is currently in effect.

U.S. Department of the Treasury Internal Control Over General Disbursements Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Recommendation: Implement a formal way to document the review and approval of transportation costs charged from the Knox County garage to provide evidence that internal controls are effectively designed and implemented. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the finding regarding the formal documentation of the services and approval of transportation cost charged from the Knox County Service Center (garage.) Action taken in response to finding: Agency vehicles are serviced at the Knox County Service Center (garage), with services billed monthly. Although transportation charges from the County were reviewed monthly, documentation of that review was not formally retained. CAC is implementing the following corrective actions: • Monthly Transportation Costs will be signed and dated by reviewer. • Establish grant compliance documentation retention protocol. • Establish Centralized federal grant compliance documentation repository. Management will perform periodic review to ensure documentation controls are consistently applied. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Misty Goodwin, Chief Executive Officer, Anna Roeder, Chief Financial Officer.

Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2023-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Housing Quality Standards Inspections. The PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least biennially to determine if the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the PHA must conduct quality control re-inspections. The PHA must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)). For units that fail inspection the PHA must correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours and all other deficiencies within 30 days. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there was a failed inspection that did not pass reinspection within 30 days without penalty. Context: There were approximately six hundred ninety four (694) failed inspections during the audit period. Of a sample size of twenty-five (25) failed inspections, one (1) unit did not pass reinspection within 30 days. HAP was not abated nor was the tenant transferred. Known Questioned Costs: $4,107 Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement a corrective action plan that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Authority Response: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor and will make the necessary changes to its inspection process to ensure enforcement of Housing Quality Standards (or any subsequent replacement). Sanford Riggs, Director of Operations, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by December 31, 2024 Schedule of Prior Year Audit Findings Context: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s procurement files, there was one vendor who was contracted utilizing non competitive (sole source) proposals in violation of the Authority's approved Statement of Fiscal Policies, dated August 16, 2018.
