We have reviewed the comments provided herein and are in agreement with the comments and will remediate the findings as follows: • We are reviewing the staffing of our finance department in an effort to ensure that on an ongoing basis these issues and findings are addressed and corrected. • Turnover has been due to the retirement of our Chief Financial Officer who had been with the organization for over thirty years. We made the decision to fill the CFO position vacated by the retiring CFO with the currently employed Controller. Although this transition has been in process for approximately a year, we recognize the need for ongoing training and support. We will ensure this. • Additionally, we have recruited a Staff Accountant with a start date of February 2025 to support accounting needs. • Although with this recruitment there are no Finance staff vacancies, we are evaluating to determine if we need to increase current staffing. In closing, we will support turnover and have individuals with adequate training and subject matter knowledge to perform assigned functions in accordance with appropriate standards and expectations. Additionally, we plan to finalize our internal balancing and financial reporting by August 31st thereby allowing for more time to complete the annual financial statement audit. We are always receptive to positive constructive criticism in our effort to improve upon compliance and financial reporting. Sincerely yours, Ann M. Lewis Chief Executive Officer
