Finding 2023-001: Submissions of Data Collection Forms Federal Programs: All Criteria: As stated in 2 CFR §200.303, the non-Federal entity (i.e. the Organization) must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations and terms and conditions of the Federal award. 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 in the “Internal Control Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). According to 2 CFR §200.512(a)(1) 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. Condition: The Data Collection Forms for each of the audits for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 were not filed timely in accordance with the requirements under Uniform Guidance. Cause: The Organization did not have adequate controls in place to allow the Data Collection Form to be filed timely. Effect or Potential Effect: Delinquent data collection forms may result in action by funders such as 1) draw-down restrictions, 2) reimbursable draw-down restrictions, 3) withholding a percentage of Federal funds, 4) suspending Federal funds, or 5) termination of the award. Questioned Costs: None. Context: The past three years of Data Collection Forms have not been filed timely. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization establish an internal control procedure to ensure the required data collection form, along with the reporting package is filed timely.

Finding # 2023-001 Significant Deficiency - Reporting Criteria Pursuant to 2 CFR 200.512(a) of the Uniform Guidance, the auditee is responsible for submitting its data collection form and reporting package, including the auditors’ reports, within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditors’ reports or nine months after the end of the audit period to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Condition, Context, Cause and Effect The Uniform Guidance audit of the System’s federal awards for the year ended December 31, 2023, was not completed within the nine months following the period-end, and as a result, the System did not submit its Uniform Guidance audit reporting package within the required timeframe. As such, the System did not comply with the aforementioned regulatory requirement. The delay in the issuance of the single audit report for the year ended December 31, 2023, was due to staff turnover in the System’s finance department. Questioned Costs There were no questioned costs identified. Recurring Finding This finding is not a recurring item. Recommendation We recommend that the System enhance their closing and reporting process to ensure that the Uniform Guidance audit procedures are timely completed in order to meet the aforementioned regulatory reporting deadlines. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Plan We concur with the findings and recommendation above. Management is in the process of implementing a formal process to ensure accounting records are maintained timely to support amounts recorded including the Uniform Guidance audit preparation and future deadlines.

Item 2023-001 Federal Assistance Listing Number - 93.914 HIV Emergency Relief Project Grants - Public Health Solutions Criteria: The Data Collection Form is required to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse ("FAC") within nine months of year end (2 CFR 200.512(a)(2). Condition: The Data Collection Form was not submitted to the FAC within the nine-month period for the year ended December 31, 2023. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the requirement to complete the filing required by the Uniform Guidance within nine months of its year end, and therefore, the Organization cannot be considered a low risk auditee for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. Context: When performing our audit we noted the Data Collection Form submission to the FAC was not filed on a timely basis. Cause: The Organization's previous audit firm retired without providing ample notice. In addition, there were personnel changes within the Organization. Both incidents caused delays in concluding the audit on a timely basis. Repeat Finding: 2022-001 and 2021-001 Recommendation: We recommend the Organization's Data Collection Form submission to the FAC be filed within nine months of its fiscal year end as required. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Organization concurs with the recommendation. See attached Correction Action Plan.
Criteria: In accordance with 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 200.512, the Organization must submit its single audit reporting package and data collection form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) no later than 30 days after the date of its audited financial statements or 9 months after the fiscal year end, whichever occurs earlier. Condition and Context: The federal reporting deadline for the Organization's December 31, 2023 reporting package was September 30, 2024; however, the organization did not issue its single audit reporting package until November 2024. Effect: Late filing has resulted in noncompliance with timely submission of financial information to grantor agencies. Cause: The Organization did not have adequate procedures to ensure a timely filing process so that it can submit its single audit reporting package to the FAC no later than nine months after fiscal-year end. Recommendation: The organization should improve its financial reporting process so that it can submit its single audit reporting package to the F AC no later than nine months after the fiscal year end. Management Response: Refer to corrective action plan.
