Finding Details

Finding 2024-001
Views of responsible officials: The audit firm has acknowledged that the delay in completing the audit in a timely manner was due to their failure in managing the audit workload. Access to materials necessary to complete a large portion of the audit work was provided within five months of the year end. Furthermore, auditor requests for more information were answered promptly by the Organization throughout the audit process. The Organization is willing to work with the audit firm to create an audit timeline that will work for both auditee and auditor. The goal is to file audit reports in a timely manner for years going forward. As noted, this was the first year with this audit firm and it is the Organization’s intention to stay with this firm for at least two more years. The audit firm showed a level of professionalism and expertise that has been a great benefit to the Organization.
