The amount reported on the SEFA for AL No. 93.224 did not agree with the related grant expense schedule. As a result, the SEFA could not be reconciled to the underlying accounting records for audit purposes. Cause: The SEFA was not adequately reviewed or reconciled to the grant expense schedule prior to submission for audit. This condition was attributable to weaknesses in financial reporting controls and the absence of effective oversight to ensure the accuracy of federal award reporting. Effect: Because the SEFA did not reconcile to the grant expense schedule, Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. cannot demonstrate that federal expenditures were accurately and completely reported. This creates a reasonable possibility that material misstatements in the SEFA may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and weakens internal controls over financial reporting. Recommendation: Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. should strengthen internal controls over SEFA preparation by: 1. Reconciling the SEFA to grant expense schedules and accounting records prior to submission. 2. Implementing supervisory review procedures to verify the accuracy and completeness of SEFA amounts. 3. Maintaining documentation to support all federal expenditures reported on the SEFA. Views of the Officials: Kagman Community Health Center, Inc.’s response is documented in the corrective action plan.

MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINIONREPEAT

No expenditure selections were tested for cost principle compliance. The auditors were unable to identify a reliable population of expenditures for this program due to discrepancies between the SEFA and the underlying grant expense records. Cause: The SEFA for AL No. 93.224 did not reconcile to the grant expense records, and supporting documentation for program-specific expenditures was not sufficiently available. In addition, the absence of a formal turnover of accounting and grant records following personnel changes limited the availability of information necessary to identify a complete and accurate population for testing. Effect: Because no expenditures were tested, the auditors were unable to determine whether costs charged to AL No. 93.224 complied with applicable cost principles. This increases the risk that unallowable or unsupported costs may have been charged to the program and weakens internal controls over compliance with federal cost requirements. Recommendation: Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. should strengthen internal controls over federal cost compliance by: 1. Ensuring that expenditures charged to each federal program are accurately tracked, documented, and reconciled to the SEFA and accounting records. 2. Maintaining adequate supporting documentation to substantiate allowability, allocability, and reasonableness of costs charged to federal programs. 3. Implementing supervisory review procedures to ensure program-specific expenditures are complete, accurate, and available for audit review.

Yes Finding Type: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Questioned Cost: Unable to be determined due to discrepancies between the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and the grant expense schedule, which prevented the identification of a complete and accurate population of expenditures for testing. Criteria: Under Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200, Subpart E), costs charged to federal awards must be allowable, allocable, reasonable, and adequately documented. Nonfederal entities must maintain sufficient records to support expenditures charged to federal programs. Condition: No expenditure selections were tested for cost principle compliance. The auditors were unable to identify a reliable population of expenditures for this program due to discrepancies between the SEFA and the underlying grant expense records.

CFO / Finance Department Documented reconciliation Establish a standardized grant expenditure tracking schedule for each federal award to ensure costs charged to the program are properly supported and traceable to accounting records. CFO / Grants Accounting Periodic internal review Maintain supporting documentation (invoices, payroll allocations, grant records) in a centralized electronic filing system for accessibility and audit readiness. CFO / Accounting Staff Ongoing monitoring In FY 2026, management developed and implemented a formal Records Retention Policy to ensure that accounting records, supporting documentation, and organizational records are properly maintained and retained in accordance with applicable regulatory and audit requirements. CFO Reviewed by management Conduct periodic internal reviews of grant expenditures to verify compliance with federal cost principles and ensure adequate supporting documentation. CFO / Finance Management Quarterly review ________________________________________ Management Response Management would like to clarify that the HRSA Health Center Program (No. 93.224) was inadvertently affected by this finding. The organization maintained a SEFA schedule for the HRSA Section 330 program grant; however, because the overall SEFA schedule did not fully reconcile to the general ledger, the auditors were unable to rely on the population of expenditures for testing. As a result, detailed testing samples could not be provided during the audit. Management is strengthening reconciliation procedures to ensure that the SEFA fully reconciles to the general ledger and supporting grant expense schedules prior to audit to support accurate reporting and facilitate audit testing. ________________________________________ Responsible Official: Chief Financial Officer Expected Completion Date: FY 2026

Cash Management
MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINIONREPEAT

Cash management testing for cash management could not be adequately performed. Trial balances, cash drawdown records, and supporting documentation necessary to determine whether federal funds were drawn and disbursed in compliance with cash management requirements were not available for audit review. Cause: Because adequate documentation was not available, the auditors were unable to determine whether Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. complied with federal cash management requirements for Assistance Listing No. 93.224. This increases the risk that federal funds may not have been drawn or disbursed in accordance with applicable regulations and weakens internal controls over compliance with cash management requirements. Effect: Because adequate documentation was not available, the auditors were unable to determine whether Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. complied with federal cash management requirements for AL No. 93.224. This increases the risk that federal funds may not have been drawn or disbursed in accordance with applicable regulations and weakens internal controls over compliance with cash management requirements. Recommendation: Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. should strengthen internal controls over federal cash management by: 1. Maintaining complete and accurate records of federal cash drawdowns, disbursements, and related trial balance activity. 2. Implementing procedures to regularly review unearned revenue balances to ensure compliance with cash management requirements. 3. Establishing formal turnover and record-retention procedures to ensure continuity of grant accounting and cash management documentation during personnel transitions. 4. Implementing supervisory review to ensure drawdowns and reimbursement requests comply with Uniform Guidance and applicable federal regulations.

Department of Health and Human Services Cluster: Health Centers Clusters AL No.: 93.224 Program Title: Community Health Centers Area: Cash Management Repeat Finding from Prior Audit? Yes Finding Type: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Questioned Cost: Unable to be determined Criteria: Under Uniform Guidance (2 CFR §200.305), non-federal entities must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of federal funds and the disbursement of those funds. Specifically: • Non-federal entities receiving advance payments must limit drawdowns to immediate cash needs. • Trial balances should be reviewed for unearned revenue to assess whether advances are consistent with cash management requirements. • For cost-reimbursement arrangements, reimbursement requests should generally be limited to costs that have been disbursed or incurred in accordance with applicable regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR §52.216-7(b)). Condition: Cash management testing for cash management could not be adequately performed. Trial balances, cash drawdown records, and supporting documentation necessary to determine whether federal funds were drawn and disbursed in compliance with cash management requirements were not available for audit review. Cause: Because adequate documentation was not available, the auditors were unable to determine whether Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. complied with federal cash management requirements for Assistance Listing No. 93.224.

CFO / Board Finance Committee Quarterly review ________________________________________ Management Response Management notes that no additional federal grants, other than the HRSA Section 330 program grant (Assistance Listing 93.224), were received in FY2025 or FY2026. Prior management did not provide a reconciled SEFA schedule for earlier reporting periods, which contributed to the documentation limitations identified during the audit. Beginning in FY2026, management has developed a detailed SEFA tracking schedule for the HRSA Section 330 grant that identifies the date federal funds were drawn down, the amount received, the related expenditures, and the corresponding disbursement dates. This schedule is maintained to improve reconciliation between drawdowns, expenditures, and the general ledger and to ensure documentation is readily available for audit and compliance purposes. ________________________________________ Responsible Official: Chief Financial Officer Expected Completion Date: FY 2026

Period of Performance
MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINIONREPEAT

No expenditure selections were tested for period of performance compliance. The auditors were unable to identify a reliable population of expenditures to test due to discrepancies between the SEFA and underlying grant expense records. Cause: The amount per SEFA for AL No. 93.224 did not reconcile to grant expense records, and supporting documentation for program-specific expenditures was not sufficiently available. Additionally, the absence of a formal turnover of accounting and grant records following personnel changes limited the availability of information necessary to identify a complete and accurate population for testing. Effect: Because no expenditures were tested, the auditors were unable to determine whether costs charged to AL No. 93.224 were incurred within the approved period of performance or whether obligations were liquidated within allowable timeframes. This increases the risk that costs incurred outside the period of performance may have been charged to the program and weakens internal controls over compliance with federal award requirements. Recommendation: Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. should strengthen internal controls over period of performance compliance by: 1. Ensuring that expenditures are accurately tracked by federal program and period of performance. 2. Maintaining documentation that clearly supports the timing of costs incurred and the liquidation of obligations. 3. Reconciling grant expense records to the SEFA to allow identification of a complete population for compliance testing. 4. Establishing formal turnover and record-retention procedures to ensure continuity of grant accounting documentation.

Specifically: • Costs recorded at the beginning of the period of performance must not have been incurred prior to the start date unless authorized. • Costs recorded near or after the end of the period of performance must have been incurred within the approved performance period. • Obligations not liquidated as of the end of the period of performance must be liquidated within the time period allowed by applicable regulations.

Procurement & Suspension/Debarment
MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINIONREPEAT

No procurement transactions were tested. The auditors were unable to identify a reliable population of procurement transactions attributable to this program due to discrepancies between the SEFA and underlying accounting and procurement records. Cause: The SEFS for AL No. 93.224 did not reconcile to underlying accounting records, and procurement documentation specific to the program was not sufficiently available. Additionally, the absence of a formal turnover of accounting and procurement records following personnel changes limited the availability of information necessary to identify a complete and accurate population for testing. Effect: Because no procurement transactions were tested, the auditors were unable to determine whether Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. complied with federal procurement requirements, including competition, documentation, and suspension and debarment verification. This increases the risk of noncompliance with federal procurement standards and weakens internal controls over compliance with federal award requirements. Recommendation: Kagman Community Health Center, Inc. should strengthen internal controls over federal procurement compliance by: 1. Ensuring procurement transactions are properly identified, documented, and tracked by federal program. 2. Maintaining complete procurement records, including evidence of competition and suspension and debarment verification. 3.

Management recognizes that the late submission of certain SF-425 reports resulted from prior turnover in accounting and executive management personnel and the absence of formal procedures for monitoring federal reporting deadlines and maintaining supporting documentation. As of FY2026, management implemented supervisory oversight and a personnel exit clearance process to ensure continuity and completeness of financial records. Management also provides the Board with updates on personnel transitions and associated risks to support proper oversight and timely remediation of identified issues. As of FY2026, procedures have been implemented requiring that all supporting documentation and attachments be uploaded and maintained within the online accounting system and google shared drive to strengthen internal controls, improve transparency, and ensure consistent documentation practices.

Cost Allowability
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEATQUESTIONED COSTSOTHER MATTERS

Of forty non-payroll expenditures tested, aggregating $128,258 of a total population of $2,220,614, the following were noted: 1. For one (or 3%), supporting Credit Card No Receipt Form (CCNRF) (document no C16791 totaling $51) indicates the original fuel receipt was provided to KCHC’s accounting office. However, no supporting fuel receipt was provided to the audit team supporting the CCNRF. 2. For one (or 3%), the invoice provided by KCHC did not match the expenditure details (invoice no. 21279098 totaling $5,957). The invoice provided by KCHC (invoice no. 212790986) was incorrect.

Corrective Action Plan

Finding No. 2022-003 KCHC agrees with the finding and understands the importance of maintaining robust recordkeeping and documentation procedures to comply with federal cost principles. We acknowledge the discrepancies noted in the audit findings regarding non-payroll expenditures. To address these issues, KCHC has implemented the following actions: • Strengthening Documentation Controls: KCHC has reinforced its recordkeeping procedures, requiring that all expenditures be fully supported by accurate documentation before approval. The accounting department has implemented additional review layers to ensure that all supporting documents, including receipts and invoices, are properly matched and retained. • Enhanced Training for Staff: Staff responsible for processing and documenting expenditures have undergone training to improve awareness of federal cost principles and documentation requirements. This training will ensure that all expenditures are supported by accurate, complete, and timely documentation. • Monitoring and Oversight: KCHC has introduced regular internal audits to monitor compliance with documentation standards. These audits will help identify any potential discrepancies early and ensure timely corrective action. Implementation Timeline: KCHC began implementation of these changes in FY 2025 under the CFO. The organization remains confident that these measures will address the audit findings and improve compliance with 2 CFR section 200.403(e). KCHC is committed to maintaining the highest standards of financial management and accountability. Responsible person: Arlene DeleonGuerrero, CFO

Finding No. 2022-004 We agree and acknowledge the identified discrepancy in Finding No. 2022-004. However, we clarify that drawdowns were not higher than actual expenditures. The variance was due to timing differences between the reporting of cumulative expenditures on SF-425 reports and the figures in our accounting records. To address this, while the findings pertain to FY 2022, we have taken corrective actions that can be seen in FY 2025: 1. Change in Responsible Personnel: In FY 2025, we assigned a new team to manage the cash management process. This change brings greater accountability and expertise to ensure accurate alignment of federal grant drawdowns with actual recorded expenditures. 2. Enhanced Year-End Closing Procedure: In FY 2025, we introduced a robust year-end closing procedure to ensure that expenditures reported in our grant documents are aligned with actual allowable costs as per our accounting records. This process helps ensure consistency between our SF-425 reports and internal records. 3. Stricter Monitoring and Internal Controls: We have strengthened monitoring and internal controls in FY 2025 to ensure that future drawdowns strictly adhere to our reimbursement policy. This includes closer oversight of cumulative expenditures to prevent any variance between reported and actual expenditures. Implementation Timeline: These corrective actions, implemented in September 06, 2024, are designed to prevent similar issues from arising in future audits and ensure full compliance with federal grant reporting requirements.

Corrective Action Plan

Finding No. 2022-005 KCHC disagrees with the finding that it is in noncompliance with the applicable period of performance requirements. The sample request was received after the August 19 meeting with the CEO and board representative, during which it was noted that no further samples would be accepted as the audit had extended beyond one year. The delays were due to staffing challenges both on the part of the auditor and within KCHC. In FY 2025, KCHC has started the following corrective actions ensuring that all records are systematically filed and digitized for easy retrieval, regardless of changes in staff. This new system allows for seamless access to documents and a clear audit trail: 1. DocuSign for Document Management: In FY2025, KCHC adopted DocuSign to facilitate the management of financial documents. While DocuSign does not automatically upload supporting documents to the accounting software, it provides an efficient way to manage approvals and ensure an audit trail. After approval, the assigned accountant is responsible for manually uploading the supporting documents into the accounting software to ensure they are properly recorded and retrievable for audit purposes. 2. Timely Upload and Filing of Documentation: To address the delays, KCHC has updated its procedures requiring that all financial staff upload supporting documents at the time of expenditure approval or payment. This process will ensure that no documentation is missing or delayed, and all records are maintained in compliance with federal guidelines. 3. Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting: The CFO will oversee quarterly internal audits to ensure that the enhanced recordkeeping system is functioning effectively and that all expenditures continue to comply with the period of performance requirements. Progress will be reported to the Board of Directors to ensure transparency and ongoing compliance. By taking these corrective actions, KCHC will ensure that all expenditures are supported by proper documentation, uploaded timely, and readily available for audit review, preventing any future delays or compliance issues. Implementation Timeline: Completed as of August 31, 2024 with continued updates and monitoring. Responsible person: Arlene Deleon Guerrero, CFO

The focus will be on maintaining adequate documentation, ensuring open competition in procurement processes, and complying with suspension and debarment regulations. 3. Strengthening Monitoring and Internal Audits: KCHC will continue to enhance internal monitoring and audit activities. The Finance department will collaborate with procurement personnel to review all transactions, ensuring that procurement packages include price quotes, purchase orders, and contracts as required. Internal audits will be performed regularly to identify and rectify any documentation gaps. 4. Optimizing Existing Systems: The integration of ProcurementExpress with the accounting system and the use of DocuSign for approval routing will be fully utilized to ensure that all procurement steps are documented and compliant with federal standards.

Corrective Action Plan

Finding No. 2022-007 We agree and acknowledge the audit findings related to the reporting discrepancies identified in Finding No. 2022-007, associated with our Federal Awards: H8031624, H8F41048, and H8D36529 under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (AL Program 93.224). To address this issue and ensure that future SF-425 reports are accurately aligned with the underlying accounting records, KCHC has implemented the following corrective actions: 1. Enhanced Reporting Procedures: A rigorous review process has been put in place to reconcile the SF-425 reports with the underlying accounting records before submission. The finance team will reconcile program expenditures and income monthly, ensuring that all figures match the accounting system's data. 2. Monthly Reconciliations: To maintain accurate and up-to-date records, we have implemented a monthly reconciliation schedule for all federal grants. This practice allows us to monitor the program's financial data consistently, reducing the possibility of variances between the reported and actual figures. 3. Training and Education: Our finance personnel have undergone additional training on SF-425 reporting requirements and reconciliation processes. This ensures that they are fully aware of federal guidelines and capable of handling reporting tasks accurately. 4. Improved Internal Controls: To further ensure compliance, we have enhanced our internal controls by requiring dual approval of all SF-425 reports. Both the preparer and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) will review the reports to verify that the data aligns with the accounting records before final submission. We have also incorporated periodic internal audits to detect potential errors early. 5. Use of Integrated Software Systems: To improve accuracy and tracking, KCHC has integrated its accounting and procurement systems (ProcurementExpress) to facilitate real-time data entry and reconciliations for grants. These systems enhance the workflow and reduce the risk of manual errors. Implementation Timeline: Implemented in August 01, 2024 and by the end of Fiscal Year in April 30, 2025, KCHC will be in full compliance with the SF425 reporting requirements.

MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINIONREPEATQUESTIONED COSTS

1. Of forty-one non-payroll expenditures tested, aggregating $147,563 of a total population of $976,884, the following were noted: a. For one (or 2%), a board meeting and strategic plan session was held at an off-island site for which the travel expense was not included in the approved budget, and no written authorization from the Grantor was provided. In addition, documentation to justify the need to hold the board meeting and strategic plan session off-island was not on file. Further, a blank trip report was signed and submitted for TA #19-25, while trip reports for TA #19-16 and #19-24 were not on file. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table b. For four (or 10%), the expenditures were for unallowable incentive costs, such as gift cards for gasoline, shopping, and movie passes associated with team building activities held during a board/staff meeting. No written authorization from the Grantor was provided. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table c. For three (or 7%), the check amounts exceeded the $10,000 threshold; however, the checks were signed by only one signatory. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table No questioned costs are presented as the contract was approved by the Board of Directors. d. For four (or 10%), expenditures were paid through a form of electronic funds transfer (EFT), which is inconsistent with KCHC?s written policy that no payments can be made by EFT. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table No questioned costs are presented as expenditures are determined to be allowable based on invoices provided. 2. For one (or 3%) of thirty-eight payroll expenditures tested, aggregating $95,983 of a total population of $664,933, Board approval for the Chief Executive Officer?s salary wage increase was not evident. The increased amount of $7,350 is questioned. Cause: KCHC did not enforce recordkeeping and monitoring controls over compliance with applicable allowable costs/cost principles requirements. Effect: KCHC is in noncompliance with applicable allowable costs/cost principles requirements, and questioned costs of $24,343. Recommendation: Responsible personnel should establish a recordkeeping system whereby underlying support for each transaction is processed timely and is filed to facilitate easy retrieval substantiating costs. The responsible personnel should not approve program expenditures unless underlying support is provided for review and should make certain that checks exceeding the $10,000 threshold are signed by two authorized signatories before the checks are released. Further, KCHC should consider revising its check disbursement policy if EFT transactions are acceptable. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Finding No. 2019-001 Views of Responsible Officials: KCHC?s Corrective Action Plan states agreement with Condition 2 and states disagreement with Condition 1 for the following reasons: Condition 1a - KCHC disagrees with the finding. Written authorization from the Grantor for travel expenses performed by the Board of Directors and Management of KCHC is not needed. Travel was necessary in order to have the majority of the Board of Directors in one place, where their undivided attention as well as their complete focus, are given for the strategic plan sessions in order to complete their tasks as Board of Directors in regards to the Strategic Plan. Condition 1b - KCHC disagrees with the finding. All four expenditures totaling $675 were charged to account 8700 - Program Income and classified as KCHC - Non Federal. Federal funds were not drawn down for the $675. Condition 1c - KCHC disagrees with the finding. All three expenditures, GL dates 12/6/19, 1/22/20 & 2/6/20, document numbers 1584, RNV 2020-4628 & RNV 2020-4651, account number 7500, totaling $43,924, $45,601 & $67,609, respectively, were a part of Contract No. RNV19-0093 in which the contract was approved by the Board of Directors on 12/6/19 prior to the check disbursements. Condition 1d - KCHC disagrees with the finding. KCHC, as recommended by Deloitte during the presentation of the FY2019 draft audit reports to the Board of Directors, revised the section of the Check Disbursement Policy to strike out the sentence in the policy stating that no payments are made by electronic fund transfer (EFT). Auditor Response: Condition 1a: No documentation was provided to substantiate the necessity of travel to Korea over any available place within Saipan or neighboring islands that offers seclusion. Condition 1b: In accordance with KCHC?s Fiscal Policies and Procedures, any revenue generated as a result of activities funded with federal funds must be used for that same purpose and cannot be set aside as unrestricted funds. The Fiscal Policies and Procedures also states that KCHC is to ensure program income is used appropriately and meets the federal administrative requirements of 45 CFR ?75.307, to further eligible projects or project objectives and/or to finance the non-federal share of the project or the program. Condition 1c: We do not dispute Board approval of the contract. KCHC?s Fiscal Policies and Procedures for check disbursements over $10,000 requires a second signatory for each cited check that was well above the threshold. Condition 1d: Our recommendation was made on January 23, 2020, and KCHC effected the recommendation on May 28, 2020. The cited payments did not follow KCHC?s existing policy that was in effect at the time of each transaction.

MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINIONQUESTIONED COSTS

Of forty-eight nonpayroll expenditures tested, aggregating $178,573 of a population of $976,884, the following deficiencies were noted: 1. For three (or 6%), documentation in the procurement file was not sufficient to demonstrate price or rate quotes from an adequate number of sources. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table 2. For three (or 6%), documentation justifying the selection of a contractor who submitted a higher bid was not provided. The higher bid amount of $188,913 exceeded the lower bid amount of $133,815 by $55,098, which is a questioned cost. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table 3. For two (or 4%), sole source procurement was used. Written justification for sole source procurement was not provided. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table 4. For one (or 2%), audit services were not procured using the required Request for Proposal procedures in accordance with KCHC?s Fiscal Policies and Procedures. Instead, a request for quotation was sent to two identified public accounting firms. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table No questioned costs are presented as KCHC?s selection resulted from a competitive process. 5. For two (or 4%), Board approval for procurements exceeding the $10,000 threshold was not provided. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table No questioned costs are presented as the amounts are questioned at Condition 1. 6.Two Board members declared potential conflicts of interest wherein the individuals are employed at companies for which KCHC does business; however, no documentation was provided to demonstrate that such exceptions to KCHC?s procurement policy were ratified by the Board of Directors. No questioned costs are presented due to our inability to quantify the extent of noncompliance. Cause: KCHC did not enforce recordkeeping and monitoring controls over compliance with applicable procurement requirements. Effect: KCHC is in noncompliance with applicable procurement requirements, and questioned costs of $230,867 exist. Recommendation: Responsible personnel should establish a recordkeeping system whereby underlying support for each transaction is processed timely and is filed to facilitate easy retrieval substantiating procurement compliance. In addition, responsible personnel should enforce compliance with procurement regulations. Views of Responsible Officials: KCHC?s Corrective Action Plan states agreement with Condition 1 for document numbers 19090 and 1138, Condition 5 and Condition 6. KCHC disagrees with other conditions, as follows: Condition 1 - KCHC disagrees with one (GL date 3/11/2020, document number 43922) of the three findings. During fiscal year 2019, three different quotes from three different Vendors were obtained. These documents were provided to Deloitte during fiscal year 2020 audit fieldwork. For fiscal year 2020, the health plan was renewed. Condition 2 - KCHC disagrees with the finding. The higher bidder amount of $188,913 was selected due to the Board of Directors (BOD) anticipation that the lower bidder could not complete the job due to lack of references, therefore, the BOD was not satisfied with the lower bidder. Condition 3 - KCHC disagrees with the finding. Other office spaces in Kagman were looked at, however, Chen Ya Zhen was the only building that was move-in ready, the rest were under renovation/construction. Condition 4 - KCHC disagrees with the finding. Under Table A of the Procurement of Contracted Services & Contract Monitoring Policy, small purchase procedure which is $10,001 to $250,000, only two price quotations are necessary in which we obtained. These documents were provided to Deloitte during fiscal year 2020 audit fieldwork. Auditor Response: Condition 1 for document number 43922: Since there was a 20% rate increase when the health insurance plan was renewed, KCHC should have obtained quotes from other health insurance providers for rate comparison purposes similar to the manner in which KCHC obtained a quote from another health insurance provider on August 5, 2020 covering fiscal year 2021. Condition 2: The Board?s rationale for selecting the higher bidder over the lowest bidder was not documented in the board minutes. The November 26, 2019 minutes set forth one opinion against the lowest bidder, one recommendation for the lowest bidder, and a tabling of the discussion. The January 23, 2020 board minutes state approval of a motion to ratify the renovation contract, with no documentation of any discussion. KCHC provided copies of email discussions among the Board members during the period between 11/29/2019 and 12/04/2019, and the discussions resulted in a vote via email in favor of the higher bidder. Contractor selection based on a vote is not in accordance with applicable procurement requirements since (1) KCHC chose which specific contractors to solicit for this small purchase procurement, and (2) concerns over performance could be addressed through a performance bond. As there is no evidence that the lowest bidder was debarred or suspended, the lowest bidder should have been awarded the contract. Condition 3: The procurement file contains neither documentation of the other office spaces that were looked at nor a written assessment of only one building being move-in ready. Condition 4: We acknowledge that the small purchase procedure under Table A allows for only two price quotations; however, the expenditure pertains to audit services which fall under the Audit and Tax Compliance Policy section of KCHC?s Fiscal Policies and Procedures that require a minimum of three proposals.

In addition, justification of the use of noncompetitive proposal and any research on availability from multiple sources must be documented. Additionally, documentation of authorization must be retained and any initial solicitations from multiple sources which are concluded to be inadequate, and such reasoning, must be documented. ? The Chief Executive Officer has purchasing authority and dollar limits of $10,000, while the Board of Directors? purchasing authority and dollar limits are for amounts over $10,000. ?

MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINIONQUESTIONED COSTS

Tests of major program expenditures noted the following: 1. For ten (or 91%) of eleven payroll expenditures, aggregating $5,090 of a population of $581,869, the notice of personnel action (NOPA) was not prepared during the fiscal year. No questioned cost is presented as the approved PAFs were subsequently prepared in September 2019, and the approved pay rates agree with the approved budget details applied during fiscal year 2019. 2. Of thirty-three non-payroll expenditures, aggregating $17,977 of a total population of $636,857, the following were noted: a. For four (or 12%), purchase orders and vendor invoices substantiating the expenditures were not provided: See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table. b. For four (or 12%), the expenditures were for unallowable meal costs associated with such social activities as a farewell party and a Thanksgiving gathering. No written authorization from the Grantor was provided. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table. c. For twelve (or 36%), the purchase orders were not provided. KCHC?s written policy defines an adequately documented cost as that which is supported by accounting records and source documentation such as purchase orders. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table. No questioned cost is presented for the net amount of $4,010 as expenditures are determined allowable based on invoices provided. d. For four (or 12%), the expenditures were paid through a form of electronic funds transfer (EFT), which is inconsistent with KCHC?s written policy that no payments can be made by EFT. See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table. No questioned cost is presented for the net amount of $3,224 as expenditures are determined allowable based on invoices provided. Cause: KCHC did not enforce recordkeeping and monitoring controls over compliance with applicable allowable costs/cost principles requirements. Effect: KCHC is in noncompliance with applicable allowable costs/cost principles requirements, and questioned costs of $1,325 exist since projected questioned costs exceed the threshold. Recommendation: Responsible personnel should establish a recordkeeping system whereby underlying support for each transaction is processed timely and is filed to facilitate easy retrieval substantiating costs. The responsible personnel should not approve program expenditures unless underlying support is provided for review. Furthermore, KCHC should consider revising its check disbursement policy if EFT transactions are acceptable. Views of Responsible Officials: KCHC agrees with the finding and provided a Corrective Action Plan.
