The District concurs with the finding. Following the 2024 Single Audit, the District assigned separate report preparation and review responsibilities and implemented a report review checklist. However, the procedures did not include a comprehensive mechanism for tracking recurring, final, and closeout reports or a requirement to resolve uncertain reporting obligations sufficiently in advance of the deadline. The District will take the following actions: 1. Establish and maintain a Grant Reporting Requirements Matrix and calendar for each federal award and pass-through grant. The matrix will identify each recurring, final, and closeout report; the applicable grant provision; reporting period; due date; submission method; assigned preparer; assigned reviewer; and evidence of submission. 2. Set documented reminder dates in advance of each deadline and require the assigned preparer to confirm, for every reporting period, whether a report is required. Final and closeout reporting requirements will be reconfirmed before project completion. When a requirement is uncertain, the District will request written clarification from the grantor or passthrough entity as soon as the uncertainty is identified. Unless written confirmation is received that a report is not required, the District will prepare and submit the report. 3. Require the Finance Manager or designated supervisory reviewer to review the reporting calendar at least monthly while an award is active and to verify completion of each required submission. 4. Retain the completed review checklist, approved report, supporting documentation, correspondence concerning reporting requirements, and proof of timely submission in the grant file. 5. Incorporate these controls into written grant-reporting procedures and provide training to staff assigned to federal award administration. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: William Clayton, Finance Manager Anticipated Completion Date for Corrective Action: September 30, 2026. The reporting matrix, advance reminders, and supervisory monitoring will be used immediately for all open federal and pass-through awards, with written procedures and staff training completed by this date.
