Finding Details

Finding 2022-002: Assistance #11.307 - Economic Adjustment Assistance - Revolving Loan Fund, U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration, Award No. 05-39- 01879 (Significant Deficiency) Condition: Reports submitted during the year were not submitted within the deadline. Criteria: All Economic Development Administration (EDA) Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) recipients must submit in electronic format Form ED-209 through EDA’s Revolving Loan Fund Management System (RLFMS) semi-annually based on the entity’s fiscal year-end and submitted within 30 calendar days. Questioned Costs: N/A Context: Two of the two RLF Financial Report (ED-209) and Performance Progress Report were selected for review and were not submitted within the required deadline. Also, the Corporation did not receive a waiver from the EDA on the late submission. The sample size was determined based upon the guidelines provided by the AICPA which is not a statistically valid sample. Cause: The Corporation experienced delays due to a new portal submission process (some historical data was deleted in the transition and their technical team had to rebuild it). Effect: Untimely filling or missed reporting may impact future awards with the EDA. Recommendation: We recommend that the Corporation update process and procedures to ensure that required reports are being prepared, reviewed, and submitted within deadlines. Views of Responsible Officials (Unaudited): The ED-209 reporting requirements ended when the disbursement phase ended on June 30, 2022. The Corporation has procedures in place to meet all future reporting requirements.
