Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Program: Family Violence Prevention and Services/Discretionary Assistance Listing Number: 93.592 Major Program Compliance Requirement: Reporting Criteria: The Organization is required to submit annual and semi-annual Federal Financial Reports (FFR) in accordance with the cooperative agreement between the Organization and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Condition: Four of the five report samples selected for testing were filed late in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the cooperative agreement.

Cause: Staffing turnover did not allow for appropriate adherence to reporting requirements. Effect: The absence of timely submission of reports inhibits the Organization from complying with federal program requirements and the potential of loss of funding from federal agency. Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures and controls to ensure financial and performance reports are filed in a timely manner.
