2025-001 Untimely Completion And Submission Of Single Audit Reporting Package Views of Responsible Officials / Management Response Management acknowledges and agrees with the finding. The Single Audit reporting package was submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse approximately 2.5 months after the deadline required by 2 CFR 200.512(a). Management determined that the late filing resulted from a poorly designed control over the tracking, preparation, and final submission of the reporting package. Management is not aware of any loss of federal funding or other adverse consequences associated with the delay. Planned Corrective Action Management has implemented corrective actions to address the control deficiency. Specifically, management has redesigned the control process for the Single Audit submission, assigned primary responsibility for monitoring and completing the filing to designated personnel, established a formal compliance calendar with advance reminder notifications, and added a review step to confirm that the reporting package is finalized and submitted by the applicable deadline. Management will monitor the operation of these procedures in future reporting periods and believes the revised process will support timely filing going forward. This will be completed by May 15, 2026.

Finding 2025-001 – Reporting – Late Data Collection Form Submission Condition: The audited financial statements were not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the due date of March 31, 2026. Questioned Costs: None. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.512, an entity expending more than $750,000 of federal funds within a fiscal year must submit the data collection form and reporting package by a due date that is the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s) or nine months after the year end of the audit period. Cause: We requested information relating to the completion of the audit. This information was not provided on a timely basis, causing the filing for that audit to be late. Effect: The School District was not in compliance with Uniform Guidance, which could lead to sanctions by the funding agencies.

The Consultant was unable to meet deadlines for submitting audit information. With the employment of a Business Manager for the 2025-26 fiscal year, the District is planning to be more timely with the submission of records to the audit firm.

In addition, the audit process will be initiated earlier to ensure completion and submission by the established deadline of March 31, 2027.

Management acknowledges the delay in submitting the audit report due to staff capacity limitations.

FINDING 2025-017 Name of Responsible Individual: Director of Post Award Compliance and Training Senior Associate Vice President of Financial Strategy Corrective Action: In response to the auditor’s recommendation to strengthen internal controls and ensure timely submission of the Single Audit Report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, Howard University will enhance cross collaboration across the University to improve audit readiness. During the May 2025 transition from the Grants and Contracts Accounting Office to the Sponsored Awards Office, the University experienced significant staff turnover and a loss of institutional knowledge, which contributed to audit readiness challenges. Since that time, the University has focused on stabilization efforts. The Office of Research Sponsored Programs has been restructured and is now almost fully staffed. The University will be establishing monthly check ins with key stakeholders to ensure adherence to a compliance calendar with clearly defined roles and responsibilities across core compliance areas. Additionally, the University has hired a Director of Post Award Compliance and Training to lead audit readiness efforts, strengthen internal controls, and support ongoing monitoring and compliance throughout the fiscal year. Anticipated Completion Date: March 31, 2027

The Municipality shall establish procedures, training programs, and internal controls to ensure compliance with the preparation and timely submission of the Single Audit Report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, as required by the OMB Super Circular Uniform Guidance and in accordance with the nine-month deadline established therein. In addition, the Department of Finance will monitor the progress of the work, including the preparation of financial statements, as well as the external audit and the single audit, so that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, the reports are submitted by the established deadline of no later than March 31, 2027.

The auditee will finalize and submit future Single Audit reporting packages within the Uniform Guidance deadlines and will periodically review compliance procedures as part of its internal control monitoring activities.
