Condition Due to the delay in financial close of CUAHSI’s books and records, a federal single audit for fiscal year 2024 was not performed in a timely manner and the DCF was not submitted by its due date of September 30, 2025. The UG requires the reporting package and DCF to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditor (February 10, 2026) or nine months after CUAHSI’s year end (September 30, 2025).Cause & Context CUAHSI did not have effective controls in place to allow for a timely year-end closing. This caused significant auditor delays which resulted in CUAHSI’s inability to meet the filing requirements under the UG. Effect CUAHSI noncompliance could result in financial or programmatic consequences to CUAHSI. Questioned Costs None Prior Year Audit Finding Yes, previously reported as MW2023-001. Recommendation Management should implement policies to ensure timely financial reporting and ensure the timely completion of an audit.
