Finding 2024-005: Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance over Subrecipient Monitoring Responsible Official’s Response and Corrective Action Plan We concur with the findings and acknowledge the significant deficiency and instance of noncompliance related to subrecipient monitoring. We are committed to strengthening internal controls to ensure full compliance with applicable federal requirements. During 2025, we implemented a corrective action plan that included the development and adoption of a comprehensive subrecipient monitoring policy and the establishment of standardized, documented procedures for the review of financial and performance reports. These actions are designed to create a consistent, risk-based, and fully documented monitoring framework that enhances accountability, reduces compliance risk, and ensures proper stewardship of federal funds. We remain committed to continuously improving our processes and maintaining compliance with all applicable regulations moving forward.
