Condition: The Organization did not submit its audit reporting package within the required period as stated in the Criteria section. Context: The audit reporting package for 2024 was not completed within the required timeframe. Cause: The Organization did not have controls in place to ensure it was complying with federal requirements as well as the requirements of the grant agreement. Effect: As a result of not properly identifying the time requirements to file its audit, the Organization did not complete its audit and related reporting in a timely manner. Failure to file timely audits will result in the Organization not meeting the criteria to be a low-risk auditee. Questioned costs: None. Identification of how questioned costs were computed: Not applicable. Repeat finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization submit the required information stated in the Criteria section for the anticipated program-specific audit for fiscal year 2025 by the required deadline as stated in the Criteria section. Management’s Response: Management agrees with the finding. Management is unable to report directly to the United States Department of the Treasury. However, going forward, Management will submit the audit package to the funder by the required deadlines.
