Audit 395836

2025-001 (Repeat finding of 2024-002) Criteria: 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires that the reporting package (the single audit report) and the data collection form be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: NH Housing Development’s June 30, 2024 reporting package and data collection form was due no later than October 20, 2024, which was 30 days after the submission of the auditor’s report; however, the reporting package and data collection form were not submitted until December 6, 2024. Cause: There were delays in completing the certification. Effect: This delay in reporting to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and to pass-through entities will cause a delay in closing out grants and reporting results of the grants to various organizations. Auditor recommendation: We recommend that NH Housing Development ensures all required information for the data collection is submitted in a timely fashion to ensure timely filing of the data collection form. Management response: Management acknowledges that the reporting package and Data Collection Form were not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the timeframe required under 2 CFR 200.512(a). Management recognizes the significance of this repeat finding and acknowledges that prior corrective measures were not sufficiently formalized to ensure compliance. To prevent recurrence, Management will implement a documented submission timeline, assign clear primary and backup responsibility for certification and filing, and require documented confirmation of Federal Audit Clearinghouse acceptance. Management is committed to strengthening oversight controls to ensure timely submission in future reporting periods.
