Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Chief Seattle Club has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate for federal awards. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Chief Seattle Club under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2023. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Chief Seattle Club, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of Chief Seattle Club.

Finding Details

Federal Agency Program Title Assistance Listing Number Award Number Award Period All awards reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards Identification as a Repeat Finding: Elements of this finding are repeated from Finding 2022-003 Finding: The Organization did not file its annual 2023 Single Audit and Data Collection form timely. Criteria: The Single Audit Reporting Package and Data Collection Form shall be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or 9 months after the end of the fiscal year, whichever comes first. Condition and context: Submission of the Single Audit Reporting Package and Data Collection Form to the FAC was not completed within the timeframe required by the Uniform Guidance. During the audit we noted that the Single Audit Reporting Package and Data Collection Form is expected to be submitted to the FAC during November 2024 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Cause: The Organization implemented a new general ledger system effective January 1, 2024. The time the accounting and finance team devoted to the conversion reduced their availability to prepare for the audit. As such, audit fieldwork commenced three months later than in the prior year. This delay was further compounded by members of the accounting and finance team contracting COVID-19 during audit fieldwork and delays in receiving accurate financial reports from the property managers as noted in Finding 2023-001. Sample size and population: Sampling was not applicable to this finding. Effect: Noncompliance with the Uniform Guidance could reduce access to future funding from Federal sources. Recommendation: General ledger conversions happen infrequently. Therefore, it would be unusual for a similar matter to reoccur; however, it considered a best practice to maintain a schedule of regulatory and compliance deadlines to ensure related tasks are completed in advance of deadlines. Also, see recommendation in Finding 2023-001. Question Costs: None Management Response and Corrective Action Plan: See Corrective Action Plan. Contact Person: Marc Taylor, Chief Finance Officer
