The annual report for this grant was not filed by the December 28, 2024 deadline. Condition An annual report for USCRI’s grant was submitted after the due date. Context We requested a sample of 6 reports (3 quarterly Federal Financial Report’s, 2 quarterly performance reports, and 1 annual financial report) related to the major program and noted that only the 1 annual report was submitted late. In total across all major programs there were 24 reports tested. The federal government has accepted the late report. Cause USCRI personnel responsible for reporting, erroneously applied guidance on one grant with a deadline of January 31, 2025, to all grants relative to annual reports. Effect USCRI submitted the annual financial report late. Repeat Finding No Questioned Costs None Recommendation USCRI should update its controls to ensure all reports are filed timely and accurately.
