Finding No. 2025-001: Late Submission of Data Collection Form Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Pass-through granting agency: Not applicable – direct federal award. Program name and ALN: Mortgage Insurance for the Purchase or Refinancing of Existing Multifamily Housing Projects ALN 14.155 Federal award year: Year ended December 31, 2025 Criteria: Title 2 CFR 200.512(a)(1) requires auditees to submit the Data Collection Form (SF SAC) and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: The reporting entity did not submit its Data Collection Form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. The auditor’s reports were issued on March 31, 2025; however, the Data Collection Form was not submitted within 30 calendar days of that date. Cause: Management did not have adequate internal controls or monitoring procedures in place to ensure timely submission of the Data Collection Form following issuance of the audit report. Effect: Failure to submit the Data Collection Form within the required timeframe results in noncompliance with Uniform Guidance requirements and may subject the entity to increased federal oversight, delayed access to future federal funding, or other administrative actions by the federal awarding agency. Questioned Costs: None Context: The Data Collection Form submission was completed after the required deadline; however, no federal costs were questioned as a result of this noncompliance. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement formal procedures to ensure the Data Collection Form and reporting package are submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. This may include assigning responsibility to a specific individual, establishing internal submission deadlines, and implementing a post issuance compliance checklist tied to audit report release dates. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management concurs with the finding and has indicated that corrective actions have been implemented to improve monitoring and ensure timely submission of the Data Collection Form in future periods.
Finding 2025-001: Failure to Submit Required Single Audit Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistance Listing Number: 14.181 Federal Program: Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance; Noncompliance Compliance Requirement: Reporting Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.512, the Uniform Guidance requires a non-Federal entity that expends $1,000,000 or more in Federal awards during its fiscal year to have a Single Audit performed and to submit the reporting package and data collection form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. The auditee is responsible for following up and taking corrective action on audit findings and for preparing and submitting the required reporting package. Condition: The Organization has not submitted required Single Audit reporting packages and related data collection forms to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, despite participating in a Federal program subject to Single Audit requirements. Cause: During our testing of compliance with reporting requirements for the Section 811 program, we reviewed available records related to prior Single Audit submissions. Based on those procedures, we noted no evidence that the Organization had submitted the required reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect: As a result, the Organization is not in compliance with Federal reporting requirements. In addition, the absence of controls over Single Audit reporting creates a reasonable possibility that noncompliance with Federal program reporting requirements would not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. Federal awarding agencies, pass-through entities, and oversight bodies may not be provided with the required audit reporting information through the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Questioned Costs: None noted. Recommendation: We recommend management implement formal controls to ensure compliance with Single Audit reporting requirements on the Federal Audit Clearinghouse such as 1) retaining annual documentation of whether the Organization meets the Federal expenditure threshold requiring a Single Audit, 2) assignment of responsibility for submitting the reporting package and data collection form, 3) use of a compliance calendar to monitor deadlines, and 4) retention of documentation evidencing timely submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Management should also consult with the appropriate Federal program oversight personnel to determine whether any remedial action related to prior-year non-filings is necessary or appropriate.

Finding 2025-002 - U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Mortgage Insurance Rental and Cooperative Housing for Moderate Income Families and Elderly, Market Interest Rate, CFDA #14.135 Statement of Condition: The Corporation did not submit the data collection form and required reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) for the year ended December 31, 2024 by the required due date. Criteria: The Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR Part 200 Section 200.512(d), Report Submission, requires any non-federal entity that expends Federal awards which must be audited under Subpart F of 2 CFR to electronically submit to the FAC the data collection form and the reporting package described in 2 CFR Part 200 Section 200.512. The Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR Part 200 Section 200.512(a)(1), Report Submission, requires the data collection form and the reporting package described in 2 CFR Part 200 Section 200.512 to be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor's report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period. Effect: Noncompliance with Uniform Guidance regulations. Cause: Limited available cash flow. Context : A test was performed to review the two most recent fiscal year audits performed under the Uniform Guidance and the required data collection forms were submitted to the FAC by the required due dates to determine if the Corporation qualified as a low-risk auditee. For the year ended December 31, 2023, an audit was performed under the Uniform Guidance and the data collection form was submitted December 29, 2025 which is after the due date of September 30, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024, an audit was performed under the Uniform Guidance and the data collection form was submitted March 17, 2026 which is after the due date of September 30, 2025. Questioned Costs: N/A Recommendation: We recommend management ensure that the data collection forms are submitted electronically to the FAC each fiscal year going forward. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges that the data collection forms for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 were submitted late due to audit delays related to limited cash flow. Management is taking steps to improve cash flow and will ensure the data collection form for the year ended December 31, 2025, is submitted timely.

Compliance Requirement: Reporting Criteria According to the code of federal regulations section § 200.520 (a), single audits must be performed on an annual basis, including submitting the data collection form and the reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (“FAC”) within the timeframe specified in §200.512 which is the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Statement of condition and cause During our audit, we noted the data collection forms for the years 2022 through 2023 remain outstanding and therefore have not been submitted timely. Due to Management being unaware of reporting requirements, the Uniform Guidance Single Audits were not completed. The results of the Uniform Guidance Single Audits are required as part of the submission with the data collection form to the FAC, therefore, the data collection forms were not completed and submitted as required. Effect The Organization was not in compliance with federal guidelines. Questioned Costs None Repeat Finding Yes, see 2024-002 Recommendation The Organization should follow federal guidelines by having a Uniform Guidance Single Audits performed, when required, and submitting the data collection form to the FAC in a timely manner.

Finding 2025-003 Identification of the Federal Program U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, passed through State of Connecticut Office of Early Childhood, No.93.575 - Child Care and Development Block Grant – CCDF Cluster. Compliance Requirement: Reporting Criteria According to the code of federal regulations section § 200.520 (a), single audits must be performed on an annual basis, including submitting the data collection form and the reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (“FAC”) within the timeframe specified in §200.512 which is the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Statement of condition and cause During our audit, we noted the data collection form for the year 2024 was not submitted to the FAC within the timeframe specified in §200.512. Due to Management being unaware of reporting requirements, the Uniform Guidance Single Audits were not completed timely. The results of the Uniform Guidance Single Audits are required as part of the submission with the data collection form to the FAC, therefore, the data collection forms were not completed and submitted timely, as required. Effect The Organization was not in compliance with federal guidelines.

Management response See Corrective Action Plan attached.
Condition: The Organization’s single audit reporting package for fiscal year 2024 was due on July 31, 2025. The data collection form and reporting package were submitted to the Federal Audit Clearing House (FAC) on September 3, 2025. Criteria: According to 2 CFR §200.512 (report submission), the audit reporting package and data collection form must be submitted to the FAC within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: Due to turnover in the fiscal office and an extended medical leave of absence by a key member of the finance team in fiscal year 2025, the audit was delayed for fiscal year 2024. Due to the delay, the audit report was not issued prior to the July 31, 2025 deadline and as such, the Organization was not able to submit the reporting package by the stipulated deadline. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the single audit reporting package deadline requirement. Recommendations: The Organization’s single audit reporting package has most always been filed timely in the past, and the late filing was due to unforeseen circumstances. The Organization could implement procedures to ensure the data collection form is filed by the 9 month deadline when unforeseen circumstances arise. Management Response: The Organization acknowledges that the FY2024 Single-Audit Reporting Package was submitted after the required deadline. The delay resulted from unforeseen circumstances that affected the submission process. Historically, the Organization has consistently filed its Single-Audit Reporting Package in a timely manner. As of March 10, 2026, the Organization has implemented new procedures which will ensure the reporting package is filed by the 9 month deadline, when unforeseen circumstances arise, which include if the CFO or Comptroller are both unable to file the form by the 9 month deadline, another member of the leadership team will be responsible for making sure the reporting package is filed in a timely manner.
Submission of Audit Package and Data Collection Form: Criteria - The audit package and the Data Collection Form are required to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within thirty (30) days after receipt of the auditor's report or nine (9) months after the end of the fiscal year - whichever comes first. Therefore, the deadline for submission of the September 30, 2024 audit package and Data Collection Form was June 30, 2025. Condition: Completion of the final submission step for the Single Audit reporting package and Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse occurred after the required due date of June 30, 2025, as prescribed by 2 CFR 200.512. Recommendation: Internal controls be put in place to ensure timely submission of the NEIWPCC's audit package and Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse reporting package going forward.
Finding 2025-001: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - Developmental Disabilities Basic Support and Advocacy Grants Assistance Listing No.93.630 Criteria: Condition: Effect: Other Matters, Significant Deficiency CFR Section 200.512 requires auditees to submit a completed Form SF-SAC (data collection form), along with one complete reporting package, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse on/before the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditor's report or nine months after the end of the audit period. The data collection form was not submitted by the filing deadline for the year ended September 30, 2024. This is a repeat finding from the immediately preceding audit (Prior Year 2024-002). The Organization is at risk of jeopardizing the continued funding provided by federal agencies. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: Filing of the data collection form for the year ended September 30, 2024, was delayed as grant cash management reconciliations, including reimbursement requests matched against expenses incurred and cash received, had to be recreated to capture activities. This reconciliation was not maintained during the year. Considerable time and effort was needed to complete audit procedures over the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization implement processes to ensure compliance with all reporting requirements. Response: By expanding our internal and/or contracted accounting capacity and updating internal controls and accounting processes to include these new roles in the monthly and annual workflow, the Organization will be in better position to perform timely reconciliations and adjustments to federal grant activity, ensuring timely filling of the data collection form and single audit package.
During our review of the auditee’s compliance requirements, we noted the auditee did not electronically submit the reporting package and Data Collection Form (SF-SAC) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the timeframe required by the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR §200.512). The reporting package and Data Collection Form for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 were submitted on December 18, 2025 which is 171 days past the required deadline.
Finding 2025-002 - Untimely Submission of the Single Audit Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (Repeat) Programs: Entity-wide, all federal awards Compliance Requirement: Audit submission, 2 CFR 200.512 (nine months after fiscal year end) Classification: Noncompliance Criteria: 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires submission of the single audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within nine months after fiscal year end (June 30, 2026 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025). Condition: The fiscal year 2025 single audit is the fourth consecutive audit completed near or after the regulatory deadline. The fiscal year 2022, 2023, and 2024 packages were each submitted late; the fiscal year 2024 package was submitted in March 2026, approximately nine months late. Cause: Delays in audit readiness, including accounting system recovery issues in prior years, delayed availability of client records and monitoring documentation, and compressed engagement timelines. Effect: High-risk auditee designation; the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs withheld CEAP award funding as a direct consequence; and potential for additional grantor sanctions and enhanced monitoring. Questioned Costs: None Repeat Finding: Yes. Repeat of Finding 2024-004; fourth consecutive year. Recommendation: Adopt a board-approved audit readiness calendar with records closed and reconciled within 90 days of fiscal year end; engage the auditor by December; deliver complete supporting documentation by February; and target Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission by April each year. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management's response is presented in the accompanying Corrective Action Plan.
Condition: The Organization’s single audit reporting package for fiscal year 2024 was due on June 30, 2025. The data collection form and reporting package were submitted to the Federal Audit Clearing House (FAC) on July 14, 2025. Criteria: According to 2 CFR §200.512 (report submission), the audit reporting package and data collection form must be submitted to the FAC within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: Due to a medical leave of absence by a key member of the finance team in fiscal year 2025, the audit was delayed for fiscal year 2024. Due to the delay, the Organization was not able to submit the reporting package by the stipulated deadline. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the single audit reporting package deadline requirement. Recommendations: The Organization’s single audit reporting package has most always been filed timely in the past, and the late filing was due to unforeseen circumstances. The Organization could implement procedures to ensure the data collection form is filed by the 9 month deadline when unforeseen circumstances arise. Management Response: The Organization acknowledges that the FY2024 Single-Audit Reporting Package was submitted after the required deadline. The delay resulted from unforeseen circumstances that affected the submission process. Historically, the Organization has consistently filed its Single-Audit Reporting Package in a timely manner. As of June 29, 2026, the Organization has implemented new procedures which will ensure the reporting package is filed by the 9 month deadline, when unforeseen circumstances arise, which include if the CEO or COO are both unable to file the form by the 9 month deadline, another member of the leadership team will be responsible for making sure the reporting package is filed in a timely manner.
FAILURE TO SUBMIT THE DATA COLLECTION FORM AND AUDIT REPORT TO THE FEDERAL AUDIT CLEARINGHOUSE TIMELY Condition The auditee did not submit the required Data Collection Form (DCF) and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the timeframe mandated by federal regulations. The submission was made after the required deadline of June 30, 2025. Criteria Per 2 CFR 200.512(a), auditees must submit the DCF and the reporting package to the FAC no later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report, or nine months after the end of the audit period, whichever comes first. Cause The delay occurred because internal processes did not ensure timely preparation, review, and submission of the DCF. Responsibilities for the submission were not clearly assigned, and no monitoring mechanism was in place to track the federal deadline. Effect Late submission increases the risk of noncompliance with federal requirements and may affect the entity's standing with federal agencies. Repeated untimely submissions can lead to additional oversight, questioned compliance history, or potential impacts on future federal funding. Recommendation Management should implement controls to ensure timely submission to the DCF and reporting package to the FAC. This should include assigning responsibility to specific personnel, establishing internal deadlines earlier than the federal due date, and implementing a monitoring process to verify timely completions.
2025-002: Reporting – Submission of the Data Collection Form Information on Federal Programs Federal Emergency Management Agency: Assistance Listing Number: 97.036 Assistance Listing Name: Disaster Grants - Public Assistance passed through Florida Division of Emergency Management U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Assistance Listing Number: 93.778 Assistance Listing Name: Medicaid Cluster – Medical Assistance Program Criteria In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.512(a), the audit must be completed and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period, adjusted for any extensions permitted by the Office of Management and Budget. Condition The data collection form and reporting package for the period ended October 31, 2024 was not filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) by the deadline of July 31, 2025. This finding pertains to the federal programs identified and tested as major programs for the audit period ended October 31, 2024, which are noted above. Cause The data collection form and reporting package for the period ended October 31, 2024 was submitted one day after the reporting deadline of July 31, 2025 due to an oversight in management’s identification of the correct record to submit within the FAC system. Effect Untimely reporting could affect future funding from government agencies. Questioned Costs None noted. Recommendation We recommend that management review its internal control process over reporting to ensure there are multiple individuals involved in the process to ensure reporting requirements are properly met. Views of Responsible Officials Management acknowledges finding 2025-002: Reporting – Submission of the Data Collection Form related to the timely submission of the Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC). The established process requires a two-step procedure: (1) certification of the submission and (2) final submission to the FAC. While management completed the certification step by the required due date, the final submission step was not completed until one day after the deadline. As a result, the overall submission was not considered timely. The delay was the result of an oversight in the final step of the submission process. Going forward Management will add a validation step with a secondary review by another team member to validate that both steps have been clearly completed and we will add this to our reporting checklist that is part of the Single Audit Process Narrative. Management believes these enhancements will ensure the completeness and timeliness of future submissions and mitigate the risk of recurrence. The corrective actions have been implemented and are in operation as of June 30, 2026. Management believes these enhancements significantly strengthen the control environment over the submission process and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Finding No. 2025-003 - Late Filing of Single Audit Reporting Package Federal Programs Health Center Program Cluster ALN 93.224 Federal Agency U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Compliance Requirement Reporting Type of Finding Internal Control over Compliance Category Significant Deficiency Criteria As required by the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), § 200.512 Report submission (a) (1), “ the audit must be completed and the data collection form described in paragraph (b) of this section and reporting package described in paragraph (c) of this section must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day”. Condition The Hospital has not submitted the Single Audit Reporting Package for the year ended September 30, 2025. Cause Delays in the completion of accounting procedures and the untimely delivery of supporting financial information to the auditors resulted in a delayed completion of the Single Audit and subsequent late submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect The entity was not in compliance with the reporting requirements of the Uniform Guidance, which may impair the ability of federal agencies and pass-through entities to perform timely monitoring and oversight of federal awards. Questioned Costs None. Identification as a Repeated Finding This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation Management should implement procedures to ensure the timely completion of accounting processes and the timely delivery of financial records and supporting documentation so that the audit reporting package can be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the required due date. Views of Responsible Official (Unaudited) Refer to the corrective action plan on pages 47-50.
Finding 2025-001: Late Submission of Financial Statements to FAC and REAC (Significant Deficiency) Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Title: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Compliance Requirement: Reporting Criteria: Per 2 CFR Section 200.512, the Authority is required to submit the Data Collection Form and the rest of the reporting package within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Per 2 CFR Section 902.33, the Authority is required to submit its audited Financial Data Schedule (FDS) and audited financial statements no later than 9 months after the PHA’s fiscal year end. Condition: The Authority did not submit its audited financial statements to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and to REAC by the required due dates. Context: PHAs are required to submit an audited FDS and audited financial statements to REAC within 9 months of year end, as well as submit audited financial statements and a Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. The Authority did not submit its audited FDS and financial statements by the required due dates. Effect: The Authority did not submit its audited financial statements to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse or to REAC by the required due date. Questioned Costs: None Cause: The Authority did not have the proper controls in place to ensure the audited financial statements were submitted on time. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: The Authority should review and enhance its policies, procedures, and internal controls to ensure the financial reporting package and audited financial statements are submitted by the required due date. Views of Responsible Officials: The Authority agrees with the finding.
Finding Number: 2025-003 Repeat Finding: No Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control and Nonmaterial Noncompliance Description: Late Submission of the Data Collection Form Major Programs: Aging Cluster Questioned Costs: None How the questioned costs were computed: N/A Compliance Requirement: Reporting Condition: The auditee did not submit the required Data Collection Form (SF-SAC) and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the timeframe required by Uniform Guidance. The filing was delayed because the annual audit could not be completed as scheduled due to unresolved accounts receivable balances that required additional reconciliation and audit procedures before the financial statements could be finalized. Criteria: Pursuant to 2 CFR § 200.512(b), an auditee must submit the Data Collection Form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse no later than the earlier of: Thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the auditor's reports, or Nine (9) months after the end of the audit period. In addition, management is responsible for maintaining effective internal controls to ensure the timely preparation of accurate financial records and compliance with federal reporting requirements. Cause: The auditee did not maintain adequate controls over the reconciliation and monitoring of accounts receivable balances throughout the fiscal year. As a result, significant accounts receivable discrepancies remained unresolved at year-end and required extensive analysis and correction during the audit process. The delay in resolving these matters postponed completion of the financial statement audit and, consequently, the submission of the Data Collection Form and reporting package. Effect: Failure to timely reconcile accounts receivable records contributed to delays in the completion of the audit and resulted in noncompliance with Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Untimely submission of the Data Collection Form may hinder the timely availability of audit information to federal agencies and pass-through entities and may subject the auditee to increased monitoring or scrutiny by federal oversight agencies. Recommendation: We recommend management strengthen internal controls over financial reporting and federal compliance by: Implementing formal monthly reconciliations of accounts receivable balances and subsidiary ledgers to the general ledger. Establishing supervisory review procedures to ensure reconciliations are completed timely and discrepancies are investigated promptly. Developing a year-end closing schedule that includes deadlines for resolving significant accounting issues before the audit begins. Maintaining a compliance calendar to monitor Single Audit milestones and federal reporting deadlines. Periodically reviewing the status of audit preparation activities to identify and address issues that could delay completion of the audit and subsequent federal filings. View of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a written corrective action plan.
Criteria or specific requirement: 2 CFR §200.512(a)(1) requires non-Federal entities to submit the data collection form (SF-SAC) and the reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: The District did not submit the data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe for the audit period tested. Questioned costs: None Context: The District did not submit their Data Collection Form on time for FY2024. Cause: The District did not have effective procedures in place to monitor and ensure timely submission of the data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect: The late submission caused the District to be a high risk auditee for FY2025. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the District implement procedures to monitor audit reporting deadlines and ensure the data collection form and reporting package are submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. Views of responsible officials: [There is no disagreement with the audit finding.] Action taken in response to finding: We had a different auditing firm and were under the impression they had submitted it. We will ensure we will not be late again and submit it on time. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Stacy Rodriguez (Director of Finance) Planned completion date for corrective action plan: September 2025
Criteria: Under 2 CFR 200.512(a), auditees that expend $750,000 or more in federal awards must submit their Single Audit report within nine months of the fiscal year end. Condition: The auditee’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. However, as of the date of this report (May 2026), the Single Audit report has not yet been issued — exceeding the nine-month submission requirement. Cause: The delay occurred because the client initially began providing the required data long after the fiscal year-end, resulting in the delayed issuance of the Single Audit report. Effect: Late submission constitutes noncompliance with federal regulations and may delay future federal funding or result in additional oversight. Recommendation: Management should ensure that all required financial and supporting documentation is provided in a timely manner after the fiscal year-end to facilitate completion of the audit within the expected reporting timeline. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding.
FINDING: 2025-001 (Noncompliance) Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) Program Name: Supportive Housing for the Elderly CFDA #: 14.157 Federal Award Identification Number: 024-EE088-WAH Criteria The Organization is required to prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (“SEFA”) in accordance with the prescribed guidelines of the Uniform Guidance. In addition, 2 CFR Section 200.512(a) of the Uniform Guidance requires the reporting package and Data Collection Form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditor or nine months after the Organization’s year end. Condition / Context The Data Collection Form was not submitted by its due date of November 11, 2024. The late report submission is a condition identified per examination of the audit report date, in comparison to the required submission deadline date of the Data Collection Form and reporting package. Questioned Costs None Cause Change by audit team to a new firm and miscommunication between the audit firm and the Organization regarding submission of Data Collection Form. Effect Such finding could impact subsequent federal funding. Identification as a Repeat Finding, if Applicable N/A Recommendation Improve the timeliness of financial information and submit the Data Collection Form by the due date. View of Responsible Official and Corrective Action The delay in the submission of the Data Collection Form was a direct result of the audit team moving to a new accounting firm and a miscommunication as to which firm was going to assist with the completion of the Data Collection Form. Management has taken steps to ensure that the Data Collection Form for the year-ended June 30, 2025 will be submitted timely. Upon identifying the late submission, management immediately completed the submission of the 2024 Data Collection Form and reporting package on August 12, 2025.
Finding No. 2025-001: Current Year Reporting Package and Data Collection Not Filed Timely a. The Clayton Improvements Association, LTD. June 30, 2024 reporting package and data collection form was not filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse on time. b. Criteria: 2 CFR section 200.512(a)(1) requires the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 days after the reports are received from the auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period. c. Effect of condition: The effect is that the project would not be considered a “Low Risk Auditee” for at least the fiscal years ending June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2027. This designation will require the auditor to audit at least 40% of the project’s programs as Major programs until such time that the project may be considered a “Low Risk Auditee” again. d. Cause of condition: The reporting package and data collection form was submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse late due to management not monitoring CPA firm to enter data in data collection form as agreed upon resulting in a late filing. The form was submitted April 4,2025. e. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that reporting packages and data collection forms are filed timely in the future. f. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Clayton Improvement Association, LTD. agrees with the finding and the auditor’s recommendations have been adopted.
Finding 2025-002: Untimely Submission of Data Collection Form Federal Agency-U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ALN: 93.297 and 93.217 Criteria: 2 CFR 200.512(a) states the auditee must submit the completed Data Collection Form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: The auditee did not submit the Data Collection Form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. The June 30, 2024 audit report was dated November 15, 2024, but the Data Collection Form and reporting package was not submitted until January 6, 2025, exceeding the 30-day window. Questioned Costs: None. Context: The Council has spent greater than $750,000 of direct and indirect federal funds during its fiscal year, As a result, the Council is required to have an audit conducted under Uniform Guidance and upon completion of the audit is required to submit a reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearing House. Cause: The delay was due to internal administrative oversight and lack of a formalized process to track and ensure timely submission of the Data Collection Form and reporting package. Effect: Failure to submit the Data Collection Form and reporting package timely may result in noncompliance with federal requirements and could impact future federal funding or trigger additional oversight. Repeat Finding: This was not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the auditee implement a formal tracking system and assign responsibility to specific personnel to ensure timely submission of the Data Collection Form and reporting package in accordance with 2 CFR 200.512(a). Management Response: We acknowledge the finding and take full responsibility for ensuring timely submission of the Data Collection Form and reporting package in accordance with 2 CFR 200.512(a). The delay was due to internal administrative oversight and the absence of a formalized process to track submission deadlines. To prevent recurrence, we have implemented two key measures: • Compliance Calendar: A centralized compliance calendar with automated reminders has been established to ensure all reporting deadlines are met promptly. • Alternate Signatory: Our Executive Vice President is now authorized to serve as an alternate signer for the reporting package in the event the CEO is unavailable, ensuring that submission is never delayed due to signature requirements. These actions strengthen our internal controls and ensure full compliance with federal reporting requirements going forward.

Finding 2025-001 Type of Finding: Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and immaterial noncompliance Criteria: In accordance with the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.512), it is the responsibility of Connected Lane County’s management to ensure there are properly designed and implemented internal controls in order to timely complete the Organization’s annual audit and submit it to the federal audit clearinghouse. Condition and Context: The audit for the year ended June 30, 2024 was not able to be completed within nine months of the fiscal year end as required due to required corrections to the accounting records and delays in providing information required to complete the audit. The audit was submitted more than nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause of Condition: The audit for the year ended June 30, 2024 was not able to be completed within nine months of the fiscal year end as required due to required corrections to the accounting records and delays in providing information required to complete the audit. Effect of Condition: The effect of the condition is that the Organization did not comply with the provisions in 2 CFR 200.212. This is considered immaterial non-compliance. Questioned Costs: None. Repeat Finding: Yes, see Finding 2024-002. Recommendation: We recommend management and the Board work closely with the Finance Manager to remedy the internal control over financial reporting deficiency and also to find efficiencies in the accounting systems to allow for timely close of the Organization’s financial records in order to allow for the audit to be completed timely. Additionally, we recommend the Organization review its document retention and storage policies to ensure documentation is well organized and easy to locate when requested for the audit.
Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place to ensure compliance with requirements related to the timely completion and submission of the audit and data collection form. Criteria: 2 CFR section 200.512(a)(1) states: • The audit must be completed and the data collection form described in paragraph (b) of this section and reporting package described in paragraph (c) of this section must be submitted withing the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. Cause: CICOA's management did not maintain a system of internal controls to ensure compliance with the compliance requirements listed above. Effect: The June 30, 2024, audit was completed in August 2025; therefore, the audit was not submitted by March 31, 2025 deadline. Recommendation: As corrective actions on the other findings reported are successfully implemented by new fiscal management leadership, audits can be performed efficiently, finalized, and submitted within the required timeframe. The audit of June 30, 2025 should be completed and submitted to the Federal Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We acknowledge that the absence of an on-site Chief Financial Officer has presented considerable challenges in ensuring compliance with the timely completion of audits and data collection initiatives. In response to this issue, we are pleased to announce the appointment of a qualified on-site CFO who will oversee our financial operations. Furthermore, our Fiscal team will also be present in the office to enhance our financial management practices. The introduction of the new CFO, along with the support of the Fiscal Department, will significantly improve our capacity to meet compliance requirements and deadlines. This change will enable us to optimize our financial processes more effectively. We remain committed to maintaining a high standard of compliance and ensuring that all necessary submissions are completed promptly.
Criteria In accordance with 2 CFR §200.512, auditees are required to submit the single audit reporting package, including the single audit report and the Single Audit Collection Form (SF-SAC) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditors’ report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition and Context The single audit reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 was submitted beyond the required reporting deadline. The submission exceeded the 30-day timeframe following the auditors’ report date. Cause The Organization did not have a robust compliance review processes to monitor the single audit filing deadline. Effect or Potential Effect Failure to timely submit required filing documents represents noncompliance with federal reporting requirements and could impact future federal funding if not corrected. Questioned Costs None. Recommendations We recommend that the Organization strengthen its year-end reporting procedures to ensure timely submission of the single audit reporting package to the FAC. Management should assign responsibility for monitoring submission deadlines, create a submission checklist, ensure calendar reminders for key dates, and establish a formal review process to confirm that the reporting package is submitted prior to the required due date. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions Management agrees with the finding and recommendations. See the attached corrective action plan.
Finding 2025-002: Material Weakness, Late Issuance of the 2024 Single Audit Reporting Criteria/Context: Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires that each organization’s audit must be completed and the data collection form and reporting package should be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Applicable to all assistance listing numbers (ALN’s) and federal agencies (and passthrough entities) included on the accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended June 30, 2025. Condition/Finding: The Single Audit package for the Town’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, should have been submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by January 2026. The Town missed the filing deadline, making the filing for 2025 late. Cause: The cause is the lack of effective controls over financial reporting resulted in delays in both the Financial Statement Audit and Single Audit. Effect or Potential Effect: This can result in an inaccurate amount reported in the SEFA, SESA, or basic financial statements or the disallowance of expenditures / future awards by the grantor due to lack of proper reporting. In addition, late filings result in noncompliance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and makes the Town ineligible for consideration as a low-risk auditee under Uniform Guidance, expanding the scope and cost of the single audit. Recommendation: We recommend the Town evaluate the process and design of internal controls over financial reporting, including the SEFA and SESA, in order to ensure readiness for the audit and to avoid late filing of the data collection form. Management’s Response:: The Town will implement internal controls to ensure the filing deadline is met. Jason Vieira of the Towns Finance Department is responsible for the corrective action plan.
Criteria: Per 2 CFR 200.512 (Reporting on Audit Results), the auditee must submit the single audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the auditee’s fiscal year, whichever is earlier. Condition: For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 the auditee's reporting package was submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse on November 13, 2025, which is 317 days past the required due date. Effect: Untimely submission constitutes noncompliance with federal reporting requirements which can impair federal oversight and increase the risk of enforcement actions, such as heightened monitoring, restrictions on future funding, or other administrative remedies deemed appropriate by awarding agencies. Cause: Insufficient procedures to ensure submission was accepted and finalized. Recommendation: Procedures should be updated to include report acceptance confirmation by the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Views of Responsible Officials: AppalCART agrees with this finding. Finance procedures will be updated to include recommended submission confirmation which will be implemented immediately.

Questioned Cost: N/A Cause: The completion and submission of the federal reporting package was not done on time due to the audit not be completed in time to allow for the filing of the data collection by March 31, 2025. Recommendation: Management should make the audit a high priority and develop a system of monitoring to ensure that the audit is progressing as expected.

Management should also consider having audit procedures performed, where appropriate, prior to the yearend in order to move up the start time of the audit and increasing the chance of an earlier completion.
Type of Finding: (G) Instance of Non-compliance related to Federal Awards and (H) Other Non-compliance Required to be Reported per Section 12-6-5 NMSA 1978 Funding Agency: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Title: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) AL #: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Award #: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Award Period: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Questioned Costs: None Statement of Condition The County’s year ended June 30, 2024, data collection form was submitted to the Federal Audit clearinghouse database on April 19, 2025, and was due by March 31, 2025. Management’s Progress Toward Prior Year Corrective Action Plan: Significant progress was achieved during the year ended June 30, 2025, and the data collection form is expected to be submitted on time for that period. Criteria Per 2 CFR 200.512(a)(1), Report Submission: The audit must be completed and the data collection form described in paragraph (b) of this section and reporting package described in paragraph (c) of this section must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. Cause The County audit was not completed in a timely manner in order to submit the data collection form within the 9-month period after year ended June 30, 2024. Effect Not submitting the data collection form denies access to the public and grantor agencies which could lead in loss of funding needed. Recommendation The County should work with the auditors to ensure the audit is submitted within a time frame that allows the data collection form to be submitted prior to the nine-month period following the close of the fiscal year.
Finding No. 2025-001: Prior Year Reporting Package and Data Collection Not Filed Timely a. The Sherrill-Kenwood Community Retirement Housing Corporation June 30, 2024 reporting package and data collection form was not filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse on time. b. Criteria: 2 CFR section 200.512(a)(1) requires the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 days after the reports are received from the auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period. c. Effect of condition: The effect is that the project would not be considered a "Low Risk Auditee" for at least the fiscal years ending June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026. This designation will require the auditor to audit at least 40% of the project's programs as Major programs until such time that the project may be considered a “Low Risk Auditee” again. d. Cause of condition: The reporting package and data collection form was submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse late. Management made multiple attempts to follow up with the prior CPA firm to ensure timely completion of an audit. Responses from CPA firm were significantly delayed, often requiring multiple follow-ups before action was taken. The form was submitted on April28, 2025, 28 days late. e. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that reporting packages and data collection forms are filed timely in the future. f. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Sherrill-Kenwood Community Retirement Housing Corporation agrees with the finding and the auditor’s recommendations have been adopted. Management has since engaged a new CPA firm to perform audit services.
Finding No. 2025-001 Type of Finding: Compliance; Other Matter; Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Compliance Requirement: Reporting – Submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse Assistance Listing: 93.045 – Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services (Aging Cluster) Questioned Costs: None Criteria Uniform Guidance requires non-federal entities that expend $750,000 or more in federal awards in a fiscal year to have a Single Audit conducted and to submit the data collection form (DCF) and Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) by the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the auditee’s fiscal year, in accordance with 2 CFR 200.512. Condition For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Organization was required to submit its Single Audit reporting package and DCF to the FAC. The Organization did not submit the 2024 Single Audit reporting package and DCF to the FAC. In addition, management represented that the Organization has not submitted Single Audit reporting packages or DCFs for prior years in which Single Audits were performed. Cause The Organization did not have formal policies and procedures to ensure that required Single Audit filings were completed, including monitoring of FAC submission and acceptance. Responsibility for preparing and submitting the FAC filing was not clearly assigned, and management was not aware of the FAC submission requirement. Effect As a result, the federal government and pass-through entities did not have access to the Organization’s Single Audit reports through the FAC for the current year and prior years in which Single Audits were required. This could affect federal agencies and pass-through entities’ ability to monitor the Organization’s use of federal funds and may impact future funding decisions. Recommendation We recommend that the Organization: Develop and document written policies and procedures to ensure timely submission of the Single Audit reporting package and DCF to the FAC. Assign responsibility for preparing and submitting the FAC filing to a specific position, with clear timelines and review procedures. Establish a monitoring control to verify that each year’s Single Audit reporting package and DCF are successfully submitted to and accepted by the FAC. Consult with the FAC and applicable federal agencies or pass-through entities regarding the appropriate corrective actions for prior-year audits that were not submitted. Views of Responsible Officials Management agrees with the finding. The Organization is in the process of developing and implementing written procedures to ensure that Single Audit reporting packages and DCFs are submitted to the FAC timely and is working with the FAC and applicable agencies to address prior-year submissions.
Type of Finding Significant Deficiency and Compliance – Other Matter Criteria or Specific Requirement According to 2 CFR Section 200.512(a) of the Uniform Guidance, auditees are required to submit the audit report and Data Collection Form (DCF) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditor or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition The DCF was not submitted by its due date of December 13, 2024. Cause Prior auditor did not communicate to management timely that the DCF was available to be certified and submitted, as a result, it was not filed timely. Effect or Potential Effect Oversight by management resulted in the FAC deadline being missed. Failure to submit the DCF and single audit report timely constitutes noncompliance with federal audit requirements and could impact subsequent federal funding. No questioned costs are reported as this requirement is administrative in nature. Recommendation The Organization should enhance current internal controls ensuring the timeliness of preparation and accuracy of financial information required to ensure the DCF and single audit report are submitted by the due date. Views of Responsible Officials Management’s corrective action plan is included at the end of this report.

The Office of the Budget’s Bureau of Accounting and Financial Management (OB-BAFM) ensures the reports meet technical standards through a centralized desk review process. The various funding agencies in the Commonwealth are responsible for making a management decision on each finding within six months of the Federal Audit Clearinghouse’s (FAC) acceptance date for audits subject to Uniform Guidance and to ensure appropriate corrective action is taken by the subrecipient (except for Uniform Guidance audits under U.S. Department of Labor programs which are permitted 12 months for management decisions in accordance with 2 CFR Section 2900.21). Each Commonwealth agency is also responsible for reviewing financial information in each audit report to determine whether the audit included all pass-through funding provided by the agency to ensure pass-through funds were subject to audit. Most agencies meet this requirement by performing Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) reconciliations. The agency is also required to adjust Commonwealth records, if necessary. Our fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 audit of the Commonwealth’s process for review and resolution of subrecipient Single Audits included an evaluation of the Commonwealth’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 subrecipient audit universe for audits due for submission to the FAC during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. We also evaluated the Commonwealth’s review of 47 subrecipient audit reports with findings in major programs/clusters which were identified on the Commonwealth agencies’ tracking lists during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and required management decisions by Commonwealth agencies. Finding 2025 – 014: (continued) Our testing disclosed the following audit exceptions regarding the Commonwealth agencies’ review of subrecipient audit reports: • Pennsylvania Department of Aging (PDOA): Our testing disclosed that PDOA did not have adequate procedures in place for tracking and making management decisions on findings timely. The time period for making management decisions on findings was approximately 13.4 months to over 19 months after the FAC acceptance date for four out of four audit reports with findings. For the four items selected for testing, PDOA had not completed SEFA reconciliations or performed alternative procedures to ensure the subrecipient SEFAs were accurate so that major programs were properly determined and subjected to audit. • Department of Agriculture (PDA): The time period for making a management decision on findings was approximately eight months to over 15 months after the FAC acceptance date for four out of six audit reports with findings. There were also delays in PDA’s procedures to ensure the subrecipient SEFAs were accurate so that major programs were properly determined and subjected to audit. In addition, our testing disclosed that PDA subgranted federal funds of approximately $8.9 million to one subrecipient during fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, for which the Single Audit was not submitted to the FAC as of our February 2026 testing date. This was over 10 months after the March 31, 2025 due date. • Department of Education (PDE): The time period for making a management decision on findings was approximately 6.9 months to over 12 months after the FAC acceptance date for nine out of 30 audit reports with findings selected for testing. Three of the 30 audits reports were improperly classified on PDE’s audit tracking list as not having federal award findings. There were additional audit reports with findings listed on PDE’s audit tracking list where management decisions were not made timely. • Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST): The time period for making a management decision on findings was over 15.9 months after the FAC acceptance date for one out of three audit reports with findings. For one out of three items selected for testing, PENNVEST had started but had not yet completed reconciling the SEFA to ensure the subrecipient SEFA was accurate so that major programs were properly determined and subject to audit. Criteria: 2 CFR Section 200.332, Requirements for pass-through entities, states in part: A pass-through entity must: (e) Monitor the activities of a subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subrecipient complies with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward. The pass-through entity is responsible for monitoring the overall performance of a subrecipient to ensure that the goals and objectives of the subaward are achieved. In monitoring a subrecipient, a pass-through entity must: (2) Ensure that the subrecipient takes corrective action on all significant developments that negatively affect the subaward. Significant developments include Single Audit findings related to the subaward, other audit findings, site visits, and written notifications from a subrecipient of adverse conditions which will impact their ability to meet the milestones or the objectives of a subaward. When significant developments negatively impact the subaward, a subrecipient must provide the pass-through entity with information on their plan for corrective action and any assistance needed to resolve the situation. (3) Issue a management decision for audit findings pertaining only to the Federal award provided to the subrecipient from the pass-through entity as required by §200.521 [Management decision]. (g) Verify that a subrecipient is audited as required by Subpart F [Audit Requirements] of this part. (h) Consider whether the results of a subrecipient’s audit, site visits, or other monitoring necessitate adjustments to the pass-through entity’s records. Finding 2025 – 014: (continued) (i) Consider taking enforcement action against noncompliant subrecipients as described in §200.339 [Remedies for noncompliance] and in program regulations. In order to carry out these responsibilities properly, good internal control dictates that state pass-through agencies ensure subrecipient Single Audit SEFAs are representative of state payment records each year, and that the related federal programs have been properly subjected to Single Audit procedures. 2 CFR Section 200.512, Report submission, states in part: (a) General. (1) The audit, the data collection form, and the reporting package must be submitted within 30 calendar days after the auditee receives the auditor's report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period (whichever is earlier). The cognizant agency for audit or oversight agency for audit (in the absence of a cognizant agency for audit) may authorize an extension when the nine-month timeframe would place an undue burden on the auditee. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. 2 CFR Section 200.521, Management decision, states in part: (a) General. The management decision must clearly state whether or not the finding is sustained, the reasons for the decision, and the expected auditee action to repay disallowed costs, make financial adjustments or take other action. (d) Time requirements. The Federal agency or pass-through entity responsible for issuing a management decision must do so within six months of the FAC’s acceptance of the audit report. The auditee must initiate and proceed with corrective action as rapidly as possible and corrective action should begin no later than upon receipt of the audit report. 2 CFR Section 200.505, Remedies for audit noncompliance, states: In cases of continued inability or unwillingness of a non-federal entity to have an audit conducted in accordance with this part, Federal agencies or pass-through entities must take appropriate action as provided in §200.339 [Remedies for noncompliance]. 2 CFR Section 200.339, Remedies for noncompliance, states in part: The Federal agency or pass-through entity may implement specific conditions if the recipient or subrecipient fails to comply with the U.S. Constitution, Federal statutes, regulations, or terms and conditions of the Federal award. See §200.208 for additional information on specific conditions. When the Federal agency or pass-through entity determines that noncompliance cannot be remedied by imposing specific conditions, the Federal agency or pass-through entity may take one or more of the following actions: (a) Temporarily withhold payments until the recipient or subrecipient takes corrective action. (b) Disallow costs for all or part of the activity associated with the noncompliance of the recipient or subrecipient. (c) Suspend or terminate the Federal award in part or in its entirety. (d) Initiate suspension or debarment proceedings as authorized in 2 CFR Part 180 and the Federal agency’s regulations, or for pass-through entities, recommend suspension or debarment proceedings be initiated by the Federal agency. (e) Withhold further Federal funds (new awards or continuation funding) for the project or program. (f) Pursue other legally available remedies. Finding 2025 – 014: (continued) To ensure Commonwealth enforcement of federal regulations for subrecipient noncompliance with audit requirements, Commonwealth Management Directive 325.08, Amended – Remedies for Recipient Noncompliance with Audit Requirements, Section 5 related to policy, states in part: (a) Agencies must develop and implement remedial action that reflects the unique requirements of each program… (b) The remedial action should be implemented within six months from the date the first remedial action is initiated. At the end of the six-month period, the recipient should take the appropriate corrective action or the final stage of remedial action should be imposed on the recipient. Examples of remedial action include, but are not limited to: (1) Meeting or calling the recipient to explain the importance and benefits of the audit and audit resolution processes, emphasizing the value of the audit as an administrative tool and the Commonwealth’s reliance on an acceptable audit and prompt resolution as evidence of the recipient’s ability to properly administer the program. (2) Encouraging the entity to establish an audit committee or designate an individual as the single point of contact to: (a) Communicate regarding the audit. (b) Arrange for and oversee the audit. (c) Direct and monitor audit resolution. (3) Providing technical assistance to the recipient in devising and implementing an appropriate plan to remedy the noncompliance. (4) Withholding a portion of assistance payments until the noncompliance is resolved. (5) Withholding or disallowing overhead costs until the noncompliance is resolved. (6) Suspending the assistance agreement until the noncompliance is resolved. (7) Terminating the assistance agreement with the recipient and, if necessary, seeking alternative entities to administer the program. Management Directive 325.09, Amended – Processing Subrecipient Single Audits of Federal Pass-Through Funds, Section 7 related to procedures, states in part: a. Agencies. (2) Evaluate single audit report submissions received from BAFM to determine program purpose acceptability by verifying, at a minimum, that all agency-funded programs are properly included on the applicable financial schedules; that findings affecting the agency contain sufficient information to facilitate a management decision; and that the subrecipient has submitted an adequate corrective action plan. (5) Issue management decisions relative to audit findings and crosscutting findings assigned to the agency for resolution, as required by 2 CFR §200.521. If responsible for the resolution of crosscutting findings, notify the affected agency or agencies upon resolution of such findings. (7) Impose or coordinate the imposition of remedial action in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.339 and Management Directive 325.08 Amended, Remedies for Recipient Noncompliance with Audit Requirements, when subrecipients fail to comply with the provisions of Subpart F. Finding 2025 – 014: (continued) Management Directive 325.12, Amended – Standards for Enterprise Risk Management in Commonwealth Agencies, adopted the internal control framework outlined in the United States Government Accountability Office’s, Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government (Green Book). The Green Book states in part: Management should establish and operate monitoring activities to monitor the internal control system and evaluate the results. Management should remediate identified internal control deficiencies on a timely basis. Cause: One reason provided by Commonwealth management for untimely audit resolution in the various agencies, including making management decisions, approving corrective action, and performing procedures to ensure the accuracy of subrecipient SEFAs, was either a change in staff or a lack of staff to follow up and process subrecipient audit reports more timely. Regarding the late and outstanding audit report submission, PDA did not take timely remedial action steps in accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.339 and Commonwealth Management Directive 325.08 in order to ensure compliance with federal audit submission requirements. Effect: Since required management decisions were not made within six months to ensure appropriate corrective action was taken on audits received from subrecipients, the Commonwealth did not comply with federal regulations, and subrecipients were not made aware of acceptance or rejection of corrective action plans in a timely manner. Further, noncompliance may recur in future periods if control deficiencies are not corrected on a timely basis, and there is an increased risk of unallowable charges being made to federal programs if corrective action and recovery of questioned costs is not timely. Regarding the SEFA reviews or alternate procedures which are not being performed timely, there is an increased risk that subrecipients could be misspending and/or inappropriately tracking and reporting federal funds over multiple year periods, and these discrepancies may not be properly monitored, detected, and corrected by agency personnel on a timely basis as required. Finally, additional federal pass-through funds may be unaudited in the future without timely and effective remedial action from Commonwealth agencies to enforce compliance. Recommendation: We recommend that the above weaknesses that cause untimely subrecipient Single Audit resolution, including untimely management decisions on findings, and untimely review of the SEFA or alternate procedures be corrected to ensure compliance with federal requirements and Commonwealth Management Directives, and to better ensure timelier subrecipient compliance with program requirements. Commonwealth agencies should promptly pursue outstanding audits and implement remedial action steps on a timely basis in accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.339 and Commonwealth Management Directive 325.08. PDA Response: PDA agrees with the finding. PDOA Response: PDOA agrees with the finding. PDE Response: PDE agrees with the finding. PENNVEST Response: PENNVEST agrees with the finding. Questioned Costs: The amount of questioned costs cannot be determined.
§ 200.512 - The audit, the data collection form, and the reporting package must be submitted within 30 calendar days after the auditee receives the auditor's report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period (whichever is earlier). The cognizant agency for audit or oversight agency for audit (in the absence of a cognizant agency for audit) may authorize an extension when the nine-month timeframe would place an undue burden on the auditee. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. The required submissions were not submitted within the due dates for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. The basic audit for the year ended June 30, 2024 was issued in June 17, 2025,and the audit submissions were not completed and accepted until February 2026.
Criteria: Per Title 2 CFR 200.512(d), "the data collection form must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: The District did not file their Data Collection form on time. The 2024 Data Collection Form was not filed until July 15, 2025. Questioned Costs: None. Context: The Data Collection Form must be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in a timely manner. Effect: The District is not in compliance with the Single Audit Act of 1984 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200. Cause: The District requested assistance from the auditing firm to upload the required form with oversight by the District. The submission was overlooked after the audit was completed. Recommendation: We recommend that all required filings be submitted timely according to the Single Audit Act of 1984 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations guidelines. Management's Response: The auditors discussed the issue with the District. A new checklist will be used with audit completion to ensure timely submission for the 2026 fiscal year.

Condition: M. Carter Plaza did not electronically submit its June 30, 2024 Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required time period. Cause: M. Carter Plaza’s 2024 accounting records were not closed in a timely matter. Effect: M. Carter Plaza did not comply with CFR §200.512. The late submission results in non-compliance for all federal programs. Audit Recommendation: We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that all required reporting is submitted in a timely manner and in accordance with CFR §200.512 deadlines. Management’s Response: The closing of books and preparation for audit procedures is being addressed via improvements in internal controls related to property accounting and month end closing procedures as well as the hiring of more experienced staff during fiscal year 2025-2026. The organization anticipates that these improvements will allow for the audit to be completed within the required timeframe in the upcoming cycle.
2025-001 Submission of Audit Package and Data Collection Form Criteria: The audit package and the Data Collection Form are required to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the auditor’s report or nine (9) months after the end of the fiscal year – whichever comes first.

S. Department of Education Pass-Through Entity Not applicable Criteria Pursuant to the requirement of Uniform Guidance 2 CFR Part 200.512(a), single audit are required to be completed and the data collection form and reporting package submitted within the earlier of thirty (30) days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine (9) months after the end of the audit period. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. Conditions and Contexts The June 30, 2025 audit report was not submitted within the prescribed time frame required by the federal regulations. The audit report was outstanding nine (9) months after the entity’s fiscal year end. Cause Management failed to ensure the audit report was issued within the prescribed time frame. Questioned Costs For the purpose of this condition, I have no questioned costs. Effect The University has not complied with the audit requirements of the Uniform Guidance 2 CFR Part 200.512(a). Repeat Finding Yes. See 2024-005. Recommendation I recommend that management of the University take steps to ensure the Single Audit report is submitted within the prescribed deadlines. Management’s Response The University acknowledges the auditor’s finding regarding the late submission of the June 30, 2025, Single Audit reporting package. Although the submission exceeded the required federal deadline by only one day, management recognizes that any delay constitutes noncompliance with 2 CFR 200.512(a), and we take full responsibility for this timing exception. Over the past six months, the University has undertaken significant steps to strengthen its financial, accounting, and compliance infrastructure. As part of this effort, the University has hired several key leaders and staff members, including a new Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, a Controller, and a Director of Financial Aid, among other critical staff additions. These new appointments have already begun enhancing oversight, accountability, and operational capacity within the Financial Affairs and Student Financial Aid functions. The slight delay in the FY 2025 submission occurred during a period of substantial organizational transition, when newly onboarded leadership was assessing existing workflows and implementing corrective improvements. To ensure that no future deadlines are missed—and to fully eliminate repeat findings—the University has established enhanced internal controls and strengthened reporting processes, including: • Implementing a detailed Single Audit reporting calendar with accelerated internal milestones. • Assigning clear roles, responsibilities, and escalation procedures across all involved departments. • Deploying an automated tracking and reminder system for federal reporting deadlines. • Conducting quarterly compliance and readiness reviews to ensure alignment with Uniform Guidance requirements. Management is committed to ensuring timely and accurate compliance with all federal reporting obligations. With the addition of new, experienced leadership and the implementation of strengthened processes, the University is confident that this issue has been addressed and will not recur.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management will continue to submit documentation, data and other information in a timely manner. Obtaining the additional legal information requested by our external auditors through the confirmation process was delayed due to certain attorneys not being present in the office due to vacationing and/or handling other court cases. Although these things are not within the control of the Lafayette Parish School Board, management will be proactive in coordinating efforts between both parties; auditors and attorneys.
2025-007 – Late Audit Report Federal program information: Funding agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Title: Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics; Rural Health Outreach and Rural Network Development Program Assistance listing numbers: 93.696; 93.912 Award year: 7/1/2024 – 6/30/2025 Criteria: According to 2 CFR Part 200.512, the annual single audit must be completed and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report or nine months after the end of the audit period (March 31, 2026). Condition: SFRC’s fiscal year 2025 single audit reporting package was not submitted by the due date of March 31, 2026. Context: N/A Questioned Costs: None Cause: There was significant turnover in the accounting department at SFRC during fiscal year 2025. Additionally, the data collection form and reporting package were ready to be submitted by the deadline, but SFRC was unable to submit the information by the deadline. Effect: The data collection form and reporting package was not submitted by the reporting deadline. Auditor’s Recommendation: SFRC should implement the provisions from its Accounting & Financial Management Policies and Procedures Manual so that monthly and annual account reconciliations are performed timely to ensure that the data collection form and reporting package are submitted by the due date. Management’s Response: Management reviewed existing accounting staffing structure, revised position descriptions, and have advertised to fill two of three open positions. Management feels with these revised position descriptions, more focus on accounting operations and procedures.
2025-002 — LATE DATA COLLECTION FORM SUBMISSION Type of Finding: (G) Instance of Non-compliance related to Federal Awards and (H) Other Non-compliance Required to be Reported per Section 12-6-5 NMSA 1978 Funding Agency: U.S. Department of the Treasury Title: COVID 19 - Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Fund AL #: 21.027 Award #: 23-002 Award Period: July 16, 2024 – December 31, 2026 Questioned Costs: None Condition For the Authority’s year ended June 30, 2025, the data collection form was not submitted to the Federal Audit clearinghouse database by March 31, 2026. Criteria Per 2 CFR 200.512(a)(1), Report Submission: The audit must be completed and the data collection form described in paragraph (b) of this section and reporting package described in paragraph (c) of this section must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. Cause The fiscal agent’s implementation of the new ERP system resulted in challenges related to system configuration, data conversion, and staff familiarity with the new system. Additionally, the fiscal agent experienced significant staffing changes within the Finance Department during the transition period, which contributed to delays in completing reconciliations, reviewing accounting records, and finalizing financial information in a timely manner. Effect Not submitting the data collection form denies access to the public and grantor agencies which could lead in loss of funding needed. Recommendation The Authority should work with the auditors to ensure the audit is submitted within a time frame that allows the data collection form to be submitted prior to the nine-month period following the close of the fiscal year.
