Findings and Questioned Costs Relating to Federal Awards: Late Single Audit Submission, Reporting Management submitted Single Audit reports up to fiscal year 2023. To address the root cause for this finding, management performed the following actions: • Management audit contracts are followed up directly by CFO to ensure timely execution to ensure audits are timely completed and planned. • Management enhancements to the finance function, such as accounting closing checklists, accounting closing meetings and reconciliation processes, among other actions, should improve the timing of audit results. Additional resources (consultants) were hired to assist in the audit process to ensure external auditors have information on a timely basis. In order to ascertain that basic and recurrent information requested by auditors is ready, management prepared an updated list of information normally requested and prepared a OneDrive (cloud backup storage) where all information will be archived and ready to be delivered to the auditors as requested. This should provide the efficiency and agility to response to auditors in a timely manner. Management successfully completed late Single Audit submissions with this 2023 Single Audit Report. With this filing, DDEC is up to date in its regulatory reports. Furthermore, with the process enhancements and improved controls implemented, DDEC expects to continue filing on or before filing due dates.

2023-007 – Data Collection Form and Single Audit Reporting Package Data Collection Form and Single Audit Contact: Alice Bernardi Title: Controller Phone Number: 202-624-5347 Anticipated Completion Date: February 2025 Management’s Corrective Action Plan NGA Management has determined that our business needs and federal requirements mandate the routine completion of our audit before the first week in February. Over the past two years, delays have been encountered primarily due to the timing of NGA's pre-audit and fieldwork assignments. Timely completion of the audit process is a shared responsibility with our audit partners. We have observed that some topics related to NGA's business model require extensive back and forth, and we will seek to develop documentation that can be used as a resource for orienting new auditors on our projects to avoid time-consuming, repetitive conversations. To ensure adherence to this critical timeline, NGA will initiate its pre-audit and fieldwork assignments at least two months earlier than in the past two years. NGA will adjust next year's audit schedule accordingly, with the expectation that this revised timeline will be fully implemented for our fiscal year 2024 audit, which will be completed in February 2025.

The Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) has implemented a Corrective Action Plan on November 2023 and has significantly improved the submission of the Single Audit Report FY 2023 and the data collection.

The late filing of the DCF was caused by disorganized documents during Vision Ed, Inc.'s office move from Manhattan to Brooklyn.

We are confident these measures will enable us to meet all future deadlines.

United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley experienced two major events that coincided. First, a forced system change due to the discontinuation of a shared CRM. This caused delayed engagement between the prior CRM, new CRM, and financial software. Second, unprecedented staff turnover (more than 90%) due to retiring leadership. These two issues drove items noted here by auditors. All staff positions have been filled and fortified, all systems have been adjusted, standards have been updated, and processes have been further documented. An example includes proper financial closing processes by the 10th business day, which will provide sufficient time for financial analysis to identify and address concerns to executive and management teams.
