Finding Details

Finding No. 2024-001 – Late Submission of 2023 Data Collection Form to the FAC Criteria: Under 2 CFR §200.512, auditees are required to submit the reporting package, including the Single Audit report, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within 30 calendar days of receiving the auditor’s report and no later than nine months after the end of the fiscal year. Condition and context: The Organization did not submit its 2023 Single Audit reporting package to the FAC within the required timeframe. The submission occurred after the nine-month deadline.
