2023-004 – Late Audit Report Federal program information: Funding agency: All Title: All Assistance listing number: All Award year: Various 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, 2024). Condition: SFRC’s fiscal year 2023 single audit reporting package was not submitted by the due date of March 31, 2024. Context: N/A Questioned Costs: None Cause: SFRC was significantly impacted by turnover in the accounting department during and after fiscal year 2023, which caused significant delays in completion of the year-end reconciliations of the financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Effect: SFRC was unable to completely reconcile certain general ledger accounts timely, which resulted in significant audit adjustments. As a result, the audit started late and was not issued within 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 implemented correction of this finding in early 2024, after stabilizing the staffing of the accounting department. Beginning with the March 2024 close, each month has been closed timely with reconciliation of all key accounts.
Single Audit Report Submission – Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance and Noncompliance Federal program information: Funding agency: All Title: All Assistance Listing Number: All Award year and number: All Criteria: The Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires the audit package and data collection form be submitted 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s report or 9 months after the end of the fiscal year, whichever comes first. Condition/Context: The Phoenix Indian Center’s fiscal year 2023 single audit reporting package was not submitted within nine months after the end of the audit period. Questioned Costs: None. Cause and Effect: The Phoenix Indian Center experienced significant turnover in key positions that generally ensure accounting records and financial statements were reconciled timely and the audit was performed to meet the compliance requirements. As a result, the single audit reporting package was submitted after the required reporting time period. Auditors’ Recommendations: To ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance, the Department should prepare accurate, complete and timely financial statements and ensure an audit is performed to ensure the timely submission of the Single Audit reporting package. Management’s Response: Books of records were not maintained as required. Upon becoming aware of the deficiencies, management hired an outside firm to provide support for bringing records up to date.

2023-007: Single Audit Report Submission Criteria or specific requirement: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.512, the Center was required to complete and submit the data collection form within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: The Center did not submit the single audit within the required period for submission. Cause: The Center did not have sufficient staffing in place to properly monitor and adhere to the respective due dates. Effect or potential effect: The Center did not comply with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.512. Recommendation: Staffing should be sufficient to ensure that all external reports are prepared and submitted on a timely basis. Staffing should contemplate not only the preparation of the various reports, but also a formal, documented review process. Views of responsible officials: Refer to the Corrective Action Plan prepared by the Center in regard to this matter.
CRITERIA: § 200.512 Report submission. (a) General. (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. CAUSE: The entity did not have controls in place to verify that they have expended over $750,000 in federal awards to qualify for a single audit. CONDITION: The audit was no submitted on time to the federal audit clearinghouse. The deadline for the submission was April 1, 2024. EFFECT: The funders that require the reports and audits will not have received the report in time and it could affect monitoring of the federal awards. QUESTIONED COSTS: N/A RECOMMENDATION: T&C recommends engaging auditors early and working with them on a timely basis. Grants from the majority of the sources are federally funded, if the expenditures of these federal awards exceed $750,000, they should contact their CPA and begin preparing for a single audit and applicable compliance requirements.

FINDING 2023-005 Internal Control over Compliance and Compliance with Reporting Programs: Federal Agency: Department of Health and Human services AL Number: 93.224/93.527 Federal Agency: USAID AL Number: 98.001 Criteria: CFR Section 200.303, Internal Controls, Section (a) states the Organization must establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the Organization is managing the federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the federal award. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control that should include controls over its reporting process. 2 CFR section 200.512(a) states that the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the audit period to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC). If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. The Uniform Guidance does not have a provision addressing whether the cognizant or oversight agencies may extend due dates. Condition: During the fiscal year, we noted that the Organization failed to submit the data collection form and reporting package to FAC on a timely basis. Cause: Policies and procedures were not appropriately adhered to in certain instances to ensure timely submission of required reports to federal funding source. Effect: Failure to properly track all reporting submission deadlines could lead to delayed funding.
