Finding Details

Finding 2022-001
Condition: The Authority did not submit its annual budget, projected cashflow, and audited financial statements to the USDA. Criteria: The Authority is responsible for reporting to the USDA throughout the life of the loan, as specifically required within the Authority?s applicable agreement, via the RD 442-2, Statement of Budget, Income, and Equity report or other acceptable report. Cause: These reports are required to be submitted, as specified in the applicable loan agreement, however, management did not maintain a list of required reports to be submitted nor was there a process in place to ensure timely filing.

The audited financial statements are available to the federal agency through the Authority?s website. Effect: The Authority did not follow the guidelines as laid out in the respective loan agreement for its reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Recommendation: The Authority should continue to improve its understanding of the reporting requirements as specified in the applicable loan document and create a process to ensure reports are submitted in a timely manner. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Authority agrees with this finding. See management?s corrective action plan.
