Finding Details

Finding 2023-001
Compliance Findings Finding 2023-001 Noncompliance with Federal and State Reporting Requirements Assistance Listing Numbers 93.667 Social Service Block Grant Federal Agency U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Passthrough Agency Illinois Department of Human Services Award Number/Year 2023 Criteria Uniform Guidance requires that single audits be completed, and the reporting package submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine (9) months after the end of the audit period. Condition UFC did not submit its audited financial statements and SEFA to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse website within nine (9) months of June 30, 2023. UFC also didn’t submit its audited financial statements, SEFA, CFR, CYEFR and other required information to the GATA portal within six (6) months after June 30, 2023. Cause This condition was due to UFC being understaffed within its accounting and finance department resulting in a significant delay in completing the recording of financial transactions, performing account reconciliations and preparing financial reports available for audit. Effect The effect is that noncompliance with financial reporting deadlines could cause funding sources for UFC to suspend funding until compliance is achieved.
