To avoid future delays, the program will implement an internal procedure to ensure that the auditor hiring process is initiated well in advance of the fiscal year's end. This will allow us to meet the established deadlines for submitting audits to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. During the audit period, the program encountered challenges in securing an auditor within the required timeframe. In mid-2022, the hiring process for the FY 2021 audit was initiated, but most contacted firms were unavailable or exceeded the allocated budget. The final audit report for FY2021 was received in October 2023, at which point the program proceeded with hiring the same audit firm for FY's 2022 and 2023, as their proposal was within budget and timelines. Documentation of efforts made after October 2023 is included, along with the estimated completion date for the fy 2022 audit. These actions reflect our commitment to timely compliance and improved internal procedures to prevent future delays.
