Late Reporting and Noncompliance with Reporting Requirements Name of Contact Person: Ross Waddell Corrective Action Plan: The Native Village of Barrow (NVB) experienced significant operational disruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the loss of several long-term employees. Due to the limited availability of qualified personnel in the local labor market, these vacancies were difficult to fill, which resulted in delays and backlogs in financial accounting and reporting functions. While efforts to establish a long-term staffing solution remained ongoing during 2022, NVB was required to engage out-of-town contract personnel and implement a transition of accounting and payroll systems during FY 2022, as sufficient internal expertise with the legacy systems was no longer available. For FY 2023, all financial activity was processed using a single accounting and payroll system (QuickBooks). However, FY 2022 required extensive reconciliation and integration of data from two separate systems to ensure accurate financial reporting for grant compliance and audit purposes. As a result of the circumstances described above, audited financial statements for FY 2023 and FY 2024 will not be issued in a timely manner. NVB was able to get grant reporting current by the end of calendar year 2025. Management is actively working to complete the accounting records for FY 2023 through FY 2025 to facilitate the timely completion of the upcoming audits. Proposed Completion Date: December 31, 2025.
