However, the Village did not complete quarterly program reports during the year, nor the Final Report when the project was completed. We have modified our opinion accordingly. By not submitting the required reports as required by the grant agreement, the Village could adversely affect future grant awards. The Village should develop controls and procedures to help ensure the reports are filed with the Ohio Department of Development as required by 2 CFR § 200.329(c)(1) and the grant agreement.
