Financial Statement Finding: 2023-008 Identification of Federal Awards and Preparation of a Complete and Accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires the auditee to prepare a SEFA for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statement. It is the responsibility of the auditee's management to design and implement internal controlsthat provide reasonable assurance over the completeness and accuracy of the SEFA. The SEFA is the basis for the auditor’s identification of major programs. Cause/Condition: The City does not have a method to accurately track the related expenditures for reporting. The City's initial SEFA provided for the audit was incomplete and contained inaccurate program expenditure amounts. In particular, there were multiple federal programs that were materially misstated; including the following major federal program for the year under audit: 1. ALN 14.228 Community Development Block Grants/State's Program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii In addition, there were multiple federal programs that were not identified on the initial SEFA for the year under audit: 1. ALN 20.600 / 20.616 Highway Safety Cluster 2. ALN 66.818 Brownfield Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements 3. ALN 66.458 Capitalization Grants for Clean Water State Revolving Funds 4. ALN 93.568 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance 5. ALN 97.039 (COVID-19) Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Effect: A Uniform Guidance compliance audit is based on the premise that management must comply with federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the federal awards it receives. Without identifying the funds as federal, the auditee may not have complied with those requirements. In addition, there is increased risk regarding the accurate reporting of grant expenditures and noncompliance with policies and procedures surrounding the recording of federal awards. Recommendation: We recommend the City develop and implement procedures to ensure that information related to all federal awards is accumulated to assist in the preparation of the SEFA. In addition, we recommend management of the City verify the completeness and accuracy of the amounts reported on the SEFA. Response: The City agrees with the finding. Corrective Action Plan: The City will include tracking of federal awards in the Capital Project tracking process. Capital projects will be reflected in a separate budget alongside the operational budget beginning in FY 2026. Anticipated Completed Date: July 31, 2025 for the tracking process; December 20, 2025 for the budget. Responsible Contact Person: Elizabeth Greenwood, Director of Administration & Finance

Financial Statement Finding: 2023-007 Noncompliance with Uniform Guidance Late Filing of Single Audit Reporting Package Criteria: Under the Single Audit Act of 1996 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), §200.512, Report Submission, the Single audit reporting package is required to be filed within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors' report, or 9 months after the end of the audit period. Cause/Condition: Staffing shortages caused the delays in financial reporting. This deadline was not met on a timely basis for the year ended December 31, 2023. Effect: As a result, the entity is not incompliance with §200.512 of the Uniform Guidance. Recommendation: We recommend the requirements of §200.512 of the Uniform guidance be adhered to by striving to have all information required for the audit available on a timely basis. This will help to ensure timely audit report issuance and compliance with the filing deadline. Response: The City is still facing staffing shortages and is working to get the subsequent financial statements completed. It is expected the 2024 reporting package will be filed on time. Corrective Action Plan: The City has hired a full complement of staff in the Finance department, and anticipates timely filings going forward. Anticipated Completed Date: September 30, 2025.

Root Cause: In May of 2020 SEA unexpectedly experienced the loss of its Chief Financial Officer during the mist of a global shut down. SEA was unable to close out the fiscal year in a timely manner due to the challenges of identifying and hiring qualified staff after this loss. This began a domino effect of late audits. SEA hired an accountant who we were confident would be able to keep us on track however, he resigned in early 2024 delaying our ability to complete our audit.
