Condition: The WNCAP Single Audit was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the prescribed period.
Corrective Action: The key position of Director of Finance was filled in October 2022, and will remain appropriately staffed going forward. The main cause for this delay was the delay of the previous Single Audit, since it extended into this fiscal year’s timeline. The Director of Finance was able to complete the SEFSA for this audit in a timely manner, and the audit progressed at a reasonable pace. Management will continue to refine internal processes for efficiency; and WNCAP is on track to submit the next Single Audit (FY 2022-23) by the standard deadline of March 31, 2024.
In addition, management created a risk assessment policy and procedure to be initiated any time there is turnover in key personnel who play a role in the finance-related activities of the organization. The process includes the following steps: naming an assessor/monitor to lead the effort, who must be the staff member at the highest level of financial responsibility; creation of a monitoring plan that identifies risks, their potential impacts, the actionable steps to mitigate said impacts, and assigns actionable steps to specific staff. The assessor/monitor decides the duration of the monitoring period, and is tasked with routinely meeting with responsible staff to ensure mitigation activities are implemented, and update the monitoring plan as needed. One of the potential impacts named in the policy is “past-due submission of the Single Audit into the FAC”.
