Condition The audit was not completed by the deadline. In addition, adequate internal controls were not in place to ensure financial activity was properly reported in the Authority’s accounting records and that the reported amounts were accurate representations of financial activity. Cause Employee turnover and a change in financial reporting software delayed the single audit reporting package. The Authority changed financial reporting systems and there was a lack of training and understanding on how to review the new system’s data for accuracy.

Accordingly, the Uniform Guidance audit report was required to be submitted to the FAC by March 31, 2025. The audit report was not submitted by this deadline. Cause: The untimely submission occurred because the auditee did not engage an auditor until after the fiscal year had ended, which delayed the commencement of audit fieldwork and the finalization of the reporting package. Effect or Potential Effect: Failure to submit the reporting package to the FAC by the required deadline results in noncompliance with Federal requirements. Untimely submission may affect the auditee’s eligibility for future Federal funding, increase Federal oversight, and negatively impact the auditee’s compliance history.Questioned Costs: N/A Context: This condition applied to the FY 2024 audit reporting package, which was not submitted to the FAC by the required due date of March 31, 2025.

2024-004 Type of finding: Federal Award Situation: Significant deficiency; compliance with federal regulations. Federal Program: All Programs Compliance Requirements: Reporting Prior-Year(s) Audit Finding(s): 2023-002, 2022-002 Questioned Costs: None Condition: The Municipality could not provide, on a timely basis, the information needed to complete the preparation of their financial statements, therefore the financial statements were available to be audited after the due date established by the federal government. The Single Audit reporting package, as defined and required in 2 CRF 200.512 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, was not submitted timely. Context: The Municipality is required by law to design and implement procedures that support the preparation of its financial statements. The Municipality could not provide, on a timely basis, the information needed to complete the preparation of their financial statements, therefore the financial statements were available to be audited after the due date established by the federal government. Criteria: As per 2 CRF 200.12, the audit, data collection form, and reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. 2 CRF 200.508 states that it is the auditee's responsibility to to (1) prepare financial statements, including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in accordance with 2 CFR 200.510, (2) promptly follow up and take corrective action on audit findings, including preparing a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a corrective plan, and (3) provide the auditor access to personnel, accounts, books, records, supporting documentation, and any other information needed for the auditor to perform the audit required by this part, among other things. Municipal Code (Law 107, August 2020, as amended) , Chapter 2, Article 2.007 states that the Finance Director will among other things, maintain and guard all books, files and documents related to the accounting and financial activity of the Municipality; take appropriate measures to implement and recommend internal controls procedures to protect and account for Municipal property and funds; and supervise, among other things, the preparation of financial reports. Chapter 8, Article 2.095 states that the Municipality must ascertain that their accounting system complies with the following: (1) Provide complete information on the results of municipal operations; (2) provide the appropriate financial information necessary for an efficient municipal administration (3) has effective control and accounting of all funds, property, and assets belonging to the municipality; and (4) produce reliable reports and financial statements that serve as the basis for the preparation and justification of the budgetary needs of the municipality. Cause: The Municipality’s accounting system does not provide the necessary information for the compilation of their financial statements. In order to address this situation, the Municipality has engaged a consultant to assist with the preparation, analysis, and necessary adjustments to prepare the Municipality’s financial statements. However, this procedure involves the participation of various municipal employees at different levels in the Municipality’s organizational structure which adds time to an already time-consuming task. The financial statements are finally available for audit after being approved by the Municipality. In addition to the situation described above, the Municipality has experienced a backlog in the compilation of the data required for the preparation of their financial statements since the major disaster area declared on September 18, 2022, due to the passage of Hurricane Fiona. Although the federal government granted time flexibilities regarding the submissions of financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, no flexibilities were granted for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, and beyond. The Municipality issued their June 30, 2023 on June 17, 2025 and submitted their data collection form on August 29, 2025. This situation prevented the timely submission of the current fiscal year Single Audit reporting package. Effect: Because of the situation described above, the financial records needed for the preparation and subsequent audit of the financial statements were not obtained timely. The Municipality did not comply with the report submission requirement since the audit was not submitted within nine months after their fiscal period end date. Auditor’s recommendation: Management should design and implement procedures that support the timely compilation of data and the necessary approvals across management for the preparation of its financial statements. Management should continue to fulfill their auditee responsibilities as stated in 2 CRF 200.508, which among other things, require management to prepare appropriate financial statements and provide the auditor with access to personnel, accounts, books, records, supporting documentation, and other information as needed for the auditor to perform the audit to ensure that subsequent financial reporting packages are submitted timely. View of responsible officials: The Municipality is working diligently to publish its statements on time. In 2025 the Municipality published two audited statements (2022 and 2023) and the 2024 audited statements are expected to be published in January 2026. The 2025 audited financial statements will be published on time. Auditor Comments: The submission dates of the Municipality’s financial statements for the last two years, as published in FAC.gov are as follows: Fiscal Year / Published Date June 30, 2023 / August 29, 2025 June 30, 2022 / October 9, 2024 Audit Status: Unresolved

Condition: CASA did not submit the required Data Collection Form (DCF) and reporting package to the FAC within the required timeframe for the year ended June 30, 2023. Cause: Due to staff turnover and delays in the completion of the June 30, 2023 audit.

Questioned Costs: None noted. Context: The auditor’s report was finalized after the required Data Collection Form (DCF) and reporting package to the FAC Federal due date. Identification as a Repeat Finding: See finding 2023-001.

Finding 2024-002 – Filing with the State Auditor and Federal Audit Clearinghouse (Repeat) Criteria: In order to comply with filing of reports with the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector (State Auditor), management needs to appropriately monitor the timing of the submission of the filing of the audit report within six months after the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) submission should occur the earlier of nine months subsequent to year end or 30 days from report issuance referenced 2 CFR 200.512(a). Condition: The City did not submit its audit report to the State Auditor prior to the deadline of six months after the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Additionally, the City did not submit its audit report to the FAC within nine months from year ending June 30, 2024. Cause and Effect: Due to delayed financial reporting close out of fiscal year 2024 the City was not in compliance with its required deadline to provide the State Auditor and the FAC with its issued audit report within the established deadlines.

Assistance Listing Number 93.103 Food and Drug Administration Research Grant Numbers 1U01FD00758-01 and 5U01FD04275-08 REV 4 US Department of Health and Human Services Finding 2024-003 Compliance Requirement: Filing of Single Audit Report Type of Finding: Material Weakness Criteria: Pursuant to 2 CFR section 200.512(a), the audit, data collection form, and reporting package must be submitted within 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period (whichever is earlier). Condition: The Organization did not submit the Single Audit Reporting Package for the year ended June 30, 2024, within nine months after the end of the audit period (March 31, 2025). Cause: The Organization had transition in key financial personnel in January 2025. Audit fieldwork had to be delayed while the new part-time outsourced personnel worked to ensure that the records were complete and reconciled. After the auditor performed planning and made selections, additional changes were made to the financial records without being communicated to the auditor, causing further delays. Additional review of these changes resulted in more discussion and further changes, which were completed in December 2025. It then took the auditor additional time to get the testing back onto their schedule and complete the testing. Effect or potential effect: Failure to submit the required Single Audit Reporting Package timely automatically results in the Organization not qualifying for low-risk auditee status for the subsequent year’s Single Audit. Delinquent submission may also result in the inability to receive federal funding. Questioned Costs: None Repeat finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization update their policies and procedures to avoid delays in completion of the audit and to ensure timely submission of the Reporting Package. Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with the recommendation and will work to ensure future audits are completed timely.

Statement of Condition/Criteria: 2 CFR 200.512 outlines the reporting requirement for single audits, which states, in part: The audit, the data collection form, and the reporting package must be submitted within 30 calendar days after the auditee receives the auditor's report(S) or nine months after the end of the audit period (whichever is earlier). The audit for the year ended June 30, 2023 did not have the audit, data collection form, and the reporting package filed until after the nine-month deadline. Cause/Effect: Failure to properly file the audit, data collection form, and the reporting package prior to the nine-month deadline may result in a reduction of future funding. Recommendation: We recommend the School establish procedures in order to allow for the timely completion of the audit so that the audit, data collection form, and the reporting package are filed prior to the nine-month deadline.

View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan – The Agency will take all reasonable measures to work with the new auditors to complete the audit process and submit the data collection report within the required time period

Section III – Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2024-002 Late Reporting and Noncompliance with Reporting Requirements Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Homeland Security Federal Program: Denali Commission ALN: 90.100 Award Numbers: 1747-00 Award Year: 2024 Type of Finding: Material weakness in internal control over compliance and material noncompliance Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR part 200, subpart F, section 200.512, the reporting package must be submitted the earlier of nine (9) months after year end or 30 days after the report issuance. Condition and context: The City did not adhere to the Uniform Guidance requirement of submitting the reporting package within the earlier of 30 days after the receipt of the audit report, or the nine (9) months after the end of the audit period. Cause: The City was not able to provide the necessary audit documents within a timely matter. Thus, the City was not able to complete the audit within the Uniform Guidance requirement. Effect: The City was not in compliance with reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None noted. Repeat finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the City adhere to Uniform Guidance reporting requirements Management’s Response: Management concurs with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.

Condition The Data Collection Form and the Reporting Package for the year ended June 30 2024 was not timely submitted to the federal government. The Data Collection Form and the Reporting Package must be submitted by the auditee within the earlier of 30-day after the receipt of the auditors’ reports or nine (9) months after the end of the audit period, unless a longer period is agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for audit. No extension from the cognizant or oversight agency was noted. Criteria The Uniform Guidance 2 CFR Section 200.512(a) requires the audit to be completed and the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (“FAC”) nine months after the end of the audit period. Effect The Organization is not complying with the reporting requirements set forth by federal regulations, which could affect the future of its federal grants awarding process. Cause The Organization has not been able to provide the necessary information for the preparation of the single audit report on a timely basis in order to complete its reporting requirement for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2024. In addition, the lack of procedures for the analysis, recording and reconciliation of accounting records on a monthly basis, has resulted in delays in the process of auditing the Organization’s financial statements. Questioned Costs None Recommendation The Organization should adopt policies and procedures to ensure that the annual audit is performed and submitted in a timely manner. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions The Organization agrees with the finding and recommendation will be implemented.

Late Submission of the Single Audit Reporting Package/Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Material Weakness/Non-compliance ALN: All programs Condition The organization did not complete and submit the single audit reporting package to the federal audit clearinghouse within the required timeframe and did not prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Criteria In accordance with 2 CFR §200.512(a)(1) and §200.512(a)(2), a non-federal entity that expends $750,000 or more in federal awards during a fiscal year is required to submit the Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) no later than the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. In addition, in accordance with 2 CFR §200.510(b), a SEFA must also be prepared. Cause This condition primarily resulted from the Organization’s limited prior experience with federal awards and the related Single Audit requirements, including preparation of the SEFA and submission of the reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Additionally, the Organization was not initially aware that certain grant funds received were federal in nature, which contributed to delays in identifying applicable reporting requirements. Effect or Potential Effect Failure to prepare a SEFA and submit the Single Audit reporting package timely may result in increased oversight by federal awarding agencies or pass-through entities and may affect the organization’s compliance status that could ultimately lead to loss of federal grant funding. Questioned Costs No questioned costs. Repeat finding This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation We recommend the Organization implement internal controls to monitor and reconcile federal grant awards for preparation of a complete and accurate SEFA within the requirements of 2 CFR §200.510(b). Additionally, we recommend the Organization evaluate federal grants during the yearend close process to ensure if single audit thresholds are met (federal expenditures in excess of $750,00 through June 30, 2025 and $1 million subsequent) a single audit is performed and submitted within regulation deadlines. Management’s Response We agree with auditors finding and have implemented internal controls to track the expenditures of federal awards to ensure the SEFA is prepare correctly and future single audits are conducted timely and submissions of the single audit reporting package are done within the required timeframe under Uniform Guidance.

Criteria: The Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires the City’s audit to be completed and submitted within nine months after the end of the audit period, or March 31, 2025. Condition: The reporting package was submitted after its due date of March 31, 2025. Cause: The audit was not completed due to resource constraints of the City. Effect: Potential suspension or delayed funding by federal agencies. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend the City file reporting packages in a timely manner. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management recognizes that the City’s audits have not been completed within the required statutory deadlines in recent years, including the reporting delay noted in this finding. These delays were primarily the result of turnover and transition in key financial staff positions, which impacted continuity and the timely completion of audit-related activities. At the same time, management would like to highlight the significant progress that has been made in addressing this issue. Over the past six months, the City has successfully completed two fiscal year audits, representing meaningful advancement toward eliminating the audit backlog. Management is committed to continuing this progress and has established a plan to return to full compliance with reporting deadlines. The City anticipates being fully current beginning with the FY-2027 audit cycle and will continue implementing process improvements and ensuring staffing stability to support timely audit completion. Management understands the importance of timely reporting, particularly as it relates to maintaining eligibility for federal funding and will prioritize adherence to all applicable deadlines moving forward.

If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day”. Condition The data collection form and the reporting package for the year ended on June 30, 2024 was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the timeframe prescribed by the Uniform Guidance. Cause Accounting and reporting processes are being significantly delayed and thus, the information necessary to complete the financial statement audit procedures was not available within the timeframe prescribed by the Uniform Guidance. Effect As a result of this condition, the federal agencies that have granted funds may issue warnings and/or impose penalties to the Corporation. Also, the federal agencies were prevented from the use of accurate reporting data, which is critical for the effective administration of the federal program and for federal agencies’ budgetary policy analysis. Questioned cost None. Context The Corporation did not comply with the timeframe required to file it’s Uniform Guidance Single Audit Report for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2024. Identification of a repeat finding This is a repeat finding from the immediate previous audit, Finding No. 2023-006. Recommendation We strongly recommend the Corporation to institute policies and procedures that stipulate the specific tasks and the personnel in charge of filing the required reports.

Condition: The Airport did not submit the data collection form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) timely. Context and Criteria: As required by 2 CFR section 200.512, the data collection form must be submitted to the FAC nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: The independent audit firm originally engaged to perform the Airport’s audit for the year ending June 30, 2024 informed the Airport of the firm’s inability to complete the audit as engaged, due to scheduling issues resulting from the death of a former partner. The notification was not timely and as a result, the Airport was unable to engage a successor audit firm in sufficient time to complete the data collection form submission to FAC within prescribed due dates. Effect: The Airport did not comply with 2 CFR section 200.512 for timely report submission. Recommendation: Procedures should be put in place to ensure the data collection form is submitted to the FAC timely. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Airport management will ensure the data collection form is submitted to the FAC timely.

(2 CFR Section 200.512). Condition: The Project’s June 30, 2024 audited financial statements were not filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within nine months of year-end. Cause: Turnover in staffing and lack of oversight led to information not being ready for audit in a timely manner. Questioned Costs: Not Applicable. Effect: The Program could have had federal funding delayed or reduced. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Program review its internal control policies and procedures to ensure timely reporting. Response: The Program agrees with the finding and will implement controls to ensure timely reporting for future submissions.

Condition: The Single Audit packages for the City’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 should have been submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The City missed the filing deadlines, making the filings for 2024, 2023 and 2022, late. Cause: The cause is the lack of effective controls over financial reporting resulting in delays in both the Financial Statement Audit and Single Audit. Effect: This can result in disallowance of expenditures / future awards by the grantor due to lack of proper reporting. In addition, late filings result in noncompliance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and makes the City ineligible for consideration as a low risk auditee under Uniform Guidance, expanding the scope and cost of the single audit. Context: The June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022 Single Audit packages. Questioned Costs: None Repeat Finding: 2023-002 Recommendation: We recommend the City evaluate the process and design of internal controls over financial reporting, including the SEFA and SESA, in order to ensure readiness for the audit and to avoid late filing of the data collection form. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.

Criteria: Per guidance provided in 2 CFR part 200.512, the audit must be completed, and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. A six-month extension was provided for submission of the data collection form and reporting package for the reporting period. Condition: The financial statement audit was not completed within the allowed timeframe and the data collection form and reporting package were not submitted timely. Cause: The delay was caused by limited staffing and competing operational priorities. Effect: CCUIH filed a late submission of the data collection form and reporting package for the audit period. Recommendation: Management should implement procedures to ensure all required reports are prepared, reviewed, and submitted timely.

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING Significant Deficiency Immaterial Noncompliance 2024-039 Strengthen Controls over Subrecipient Monitoring to Ensure Compliance with Uniform Guidance Auditing Requirements. ALN Number(s) 93.558 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) 93.489, 93.575, 93.596 Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) 93.568 Low Income Household Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Federal Award No. All Current Active Grants Questioned Costs N/A Criteria Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR 200.512(a)(1)) states the audit must be completed and the data collection form described in paragraph (b) of this section and reporting package described in paragraph (c) of this section must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR 200.332(d)(2)) states all pass-through entities must monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subaward is used for authorized purposes, in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward; and that subaward performance goals are achieved. Pass-through entity monitoring of the subrecipient must include following-up and ensuring that the subrecipient takes timely and appropriate action on all deficiencies pertaining to the Federal award provided to the subrecipient from the pass-through entity detected through audits, on-site reviews, and written confirmation from the subrecipient, highlighting the status of actions planned or taken to address Single Audit findings related to the particular subaward. Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR 200.332(f)) states all pass-through entities must verify that every subrecipient is audited as required by Subpart F of this part when it is expected that the subrecipient's Federal awards expended during the respective fiscal year equaled or exceeded the threshold set forth in 200.501. Condition When performing testwork related to OMB Single Audit Monitoring as of June 30, 2024, the auditor noted the following: • Four instances (or 33.33 percent) in which there was no documentation of communication between the agency and the subrecipient regarding audit reports that had not been received within nine months of the subrecipients fiscal year-end. • One instance (or 8 percent) in which there was no documentation that a corrective action plan was provided. Cause Staff were either unaware or did not follow identified policies and procedures for monitoring requirements. Effect Failure to properly monitor subrecipients could allow noncompliance with federal regulations to occur and go undetected, potentially resulting in fraud, waste, and abuse within the agency. Recommendation We recommend the Mississippi Department of Human Services' Division of Program Integrity - Division of Monitoring (DM) strengthen controls over subrecipient monitoring for Uniform Guidance audits to ensure recipients expending $750,000 or more in Federal funds during their fiscal year are meeting Uniform Guidance Audit requirements. Repeat Finding Yes, 2023-018, 2022-018, and 2021-014. Statistically Valid Yes.

Condition and Context: The City did not adhere to the Uniform Guidance requirement of submitting the reporting package within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the audit report or nine months after the audit period. Cause: Lack of internal control over Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Effect: The City was not in compliance with reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None. Repeat Finding: Yes, this is a repeat of Finding 2023-004. Since it is a repeat finding we believe this to be a systemic issue. Recommendation: We recommend that the City comply with Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Management’s Response: Management concurs with this finding. See corrective action plan

Finding 2024-2 – Late Filing of Required Reporting of Federal Awards Type of Finding: Material Weakness; Noncompliance U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, passed through New Jersey Department of Human Services Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse Assistance Listing No. 93.959. Condition: The Organization’s Data Collection Form and reporting package were not submitted to the Federal Clearinghouse within the required timeframe of the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the audit report or nine months after fiscal year end. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR §200.512, a non-Federal entity that expends $750,000 or more in Federal awards during its fiscal year is required to have a single audit conducted. The Data Collection Form and reporting package, including the audited financial statements and single audit reports, must be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditors' report or nine months after fiscal year end. Cause: The Organization did not have sufficient procedures in place to ensure that all information necessary to complete the audit was prepared and provided in a timely manner, resulting in delayed submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect: The Organization is not in compliance with the reporting requirements of 2 CFR §200.512, which could affect future funding. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization strengthen its year-end closing and audit preparation procedures and establish controls to ensure timely submission of the federal single audit reporting package. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Due in part to delays from the Organization’s prior auditor addressed in the Corrective Action Plan for the June 30, 2023 audit, the 2024 and 2025 audits were significantly delayed. Management has already taken steps to strengthen controls for year-end closing and audit preparation procedures to ensure timely submission of the federal single audit reporting package. These steps included replacing the Chief Financial Officer and engaging an accounting firm to assist with the closing process. Furthermore, the Organization is working quickly to complete the 2025 audit to bring federal reporting fully up to date. Lastly, the Organization is updating its accounting procedures manual to reflect these improved practices.

These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)…” In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.512(a), the audit must be completed and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period, adjusted for any extensions permitted by the Office of Management and Budget. Condition The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended June 30, 2024, were not filed by the deadline of March 31, 2025, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Cause Although the schedule and notes thereto were prepared accurately and timely, additional time was required to comply fully with reporting on, and audit of, compliance requirements of the federal award programs. Effect or Potential Effect The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended June 30, 2024, were not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in a timely manner. Questioned Costs None Context The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended June 30, 2024, were submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse after the due date of March 31, 2025. Repeat Finding No Recommendation We recommend the System Fund adopt policies and procedures, including tracking and monitoring of reporting requirements, to ensure that the audit, reporting package, and data collection form are electronically filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the applicable deadline.

Finding Number: 2024-004 Repeat Finding: Yes, prior year finding 2023-004. Program Name/Assistance Listing Title: Indian School Equalization Program Assistance Listing Number: 15.042 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of the Interior Federal Award Number: A23AV00827 Questioned Costs: None Type of Finding: Noncompliance, Material Weakness Compliance Requirement: L. Reporting Criteria: 2 CFR § 200.512(a) provides, in part: "The audit must be completed and the data collection form ... must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period." 2 CFR § 200.520 provides, in part: "That to qualify as a low-risk auditee and be eligible for reduced audit coverage the following condition must be met: Single audits were performed on an annual basis in accordance with the provisions of this Subpart, including submitting the data collection form and the reporting package to the FAC within the timeframe specified in § 200.512." Condition: The School did submit their audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 timely. The audit was submitted May 1, 2026, which was 396 days past the March 31, 2025 deadline. Effect: Not making all audit documentation available in a timely manner resulted in the audit and data collection form submissions to be late and, therefore, not available to the public within the required timeframe. This late submission also excludes the School from qualifying as a low-risk auditee. Cause: Management did not provide the trial balance until 14 months after the end of the fiscal year and five months after the federal reporting deadline. Throughout the audit process, management continuously refused to provide the requested information for the expenditure testing related to federal programs. Recommendation: The School should implement procedures to ensure that all audit documentation is available for the audit in a timely manner and the audit report is completed and submitted within the appropriate timeframe. View of Responsible Official: The School’s corrective action plan presented in a separate document includes the views and planned corrective action of its responsible officials. We are not required to and have not audited these responses and planned corrective actions and therefore provide no assurances as to their accuracy.

2024-008 - Late Submission of Single Audit Reporting Package and Data Collection Form Finding Type: Noncompliance. Criteria: The Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.512(a)(1)) requires that the audit, data collection form, and reporting package be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the required submission deadline was March 31, 2025. Condition: The City did not submit the data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the required deadline of March 31, 2025. Cause: This condition is the result of delays in completing the audit and finalizing the reporting package for submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect: As a result of this condition, the City was not in compliance with Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Continued noncompliance may result in increased Federal oversight. Recommendation: The City should implement procedures to ensure that the data collection form and reporting package are submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. Management Response: See Corrective Action Plan.

2025-005: Noncompliance related to FAC Reports for fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024 Federal Assistance Listing Number: 10.553, 10.555, 10.559, 10.649, 84.010, 84.367, 84.424A, 84.358, 84.425U, 84.048, 93.354, and 93.981. Federal Award Year(s): June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023 Program Title(s): Multiple Name of Federal Agency(ies): U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Education, and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Name of Pass-Through Entity(ies): Various, including the Colorado Department of Education, Colorado Community Colleges System, and Colorado Department of Human Services COVID-19 Program(s): Yes Criteria: In accordance with Section 200.512 of the 2CFR200 Subpart F, a non-Federal entity that received a Single Audit must submit the reporting package to the Federal government through the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC), also known as the data collection form. The FAC report is required to be submitted the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: Based on our search through the FAC website (www.FAC.gov), the District did not submit the data collection report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse for the audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, Single Audit conducted. In addition, the District was not able to provide accurate accounting records to the auditors in a timely manner to conduct the Single Audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, which delayed the submission of the data collection report to the FAC in a timely manner. Cause: The District lacked internal controls and awareness of the requirements noted above to certify and submit the annual data collection form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse report in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, the District’s internal controls over grants management and accounting records was inadequate, which caused material audit adjustments and additional time for the District to reconcile grants. This caused the District’s Single Audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, to be significantly delayed. Effect: The District was noncompliant with 2 CFR 200.512 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024. Repeat Finding: No. Questioned Costs: None noted. Recommendation: In the future, we highly recommend that the District maintain proper internal controls and accurate grant records to prepare an accurate SEFA that will allow auditors to perform the Single Audits on major Federal programs, and submit the FAC report in a timely manner. Corrective Action Plan: Reported on page 59.

Finding No. 2024-001 Finding Type: Noncompliance / Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Program: Crime Victim Assistance Federal Agency: US Dept of Justice Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.512(a), the audit must be completed, and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period, whichever is earlier. Condition: The Organization did not submit its Single Audit reporting package for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 & 2024, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within nine months of the fiscal year-end. The report, which included the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA), was submitted December 11, 2024 which is 255 days late for the June 30, 2023 and is yet to be submitted for the June 30, 2024. Context: The Organization’s financial records were not closed, and the SEFA was not prepared or reconciled to the general ledger by the required deadline, preventing the auditors from completing the audit within the prescribed timeframe. Effect: Late filing of the Single Audit reporting package is a violation of federal regulations and, per 2 CFR § 200.512(b), may result in federal agencies taking action to disallow costs, suspend, or terminate the federal award. Furthermore, it prevents federal agencies from having timely data to conduct oversight. Cause: The Organization experienced turnover in key positions and lacked documented, formalized procedures to ensure the timely preparation of the SEFA and the coordination of the audit timeline. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization establish a year-end closing schedule to ensure the trial balance is finalized within 60 days of year-end. Additionally, management should establish a checklist for the preparation of the SEFA, including a review of grant agreements for Assistance Listing Numbers (ALNs) and a reconciliation to the general ledger, to ensure timely submission. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding. The Organization has hired new staff, changed accounting systems and is developing a strict month-end and year-end close procedure to ensure timely financial reporting and future compliance.
