Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. For cost-reimbursement awards, revenues are recognized to the extent of expenditures. Expenditures have been recognized to the extent the related obligation was incurred within the applicable grant period and liquidated within 90 days after the end of the grant period. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: CCA has a federally approved indirect cost rate agreement and therefore, is not subject to the 10-percent de minimis cost rate under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Community Action Partnership of Providence County (the Organization) under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 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 (Uniform Guidance).

Finding Details

Statement of Condition: The September 30, 2023, audited financial statements and data collection form for the Organization were not filed within the time required by Uniform Guidance. Criteria: Uniform Guidance requires that non-federal entities that expend more than $750,000 or more in a year in federal awards shall have a single audit conducted and Section .320 requires that the audit shall be completed, and the data collection form and reporting package shall be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditors’ report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: The Organization’s filing process to ensure timely filing of the data collection form and the financial statements was attributed to the delay of the audit due to the turnover of staff, thus causing a delay in the submission of the required reports. Effect: Late filing of the data collection form and reporting package will cause an auditee to be determined to be a “high-risk auditee” and could affect future federal grant funding. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve its year-end closing processes in order to meet all filing requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management acknowledges the finding. The Organization's corrective action plan is included at the end of this report
