Section III. Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs 2024-001 Reporting Information on Federal Program Assisting Listing Number 21.027, U.S. Department of the Treasury, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds American Rescue Plan Act Criteria or Specific Requirement According to 2 CFR Part 200.512, auditees are required to submit the audit reporting package, including the Single Audit report, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within 30 days after receipt of the auditors report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period, whichever comes first. Condition The auditee did not submit the audit reporting package for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 within the required time frame. The Single Audit report was submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse on April 4, 2025, which is beyond the required deadline of September 30, 2024. Questioned Costs: $0 Context: The reporting package was submitted 186 days past the deadline. Cause - The delay was due to a lack of effective internal controls and oversight to ensure timely submission of the audit reporting package. Effect or Potential Effect - Late submission of the audit reporting package may result in non-compliance with federal requirements, potentially affecting the auditees eligibility for future federal funding and subjecting the auditee to increased scrutiny or penalties. Recommendation - We recommend that the YMCA establish and implement a formal process to monitor and ensure timely submission of the audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. This process should include setting internal deadlines and assigning responsibility to specific personnel for compliance monitoring. Views of Responsible Officials Management has reviewed the finding related to the late filing of the audit report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and has developed the following plan to address this finding and ensure compliance going forward: 1. Root Cause Analysis Previous to 2023, the last time the YMCA was required to have a Single Audit was the year ended December 31, 2012. Because this was a new process to the YMCA, we were unaware that we needed to submit the Single Audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. In past years, the independent audit firm initiated the e-filing process on our behalf. 2. Action Steps The YMCA will develop a year-end Federal Awards checklist to include all necessary preparation steps including but not limited to preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA); corresponding audit documentation; and procedures for filing the completed Single Audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse including confirmation that independent auditors have reviewed and certified the submission to the Clearinghouse. 3. Responsible Parties The Controller will complete the checklist and perform the filing to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and the CFO will review and approve. 4. Timeline Submission of the Single Audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse as well as completion, review, and approval of the checklist will be done within 30 days of receipt of the final Single Audit report. 5. Monitoring & Evaluation The checklist and approval process will be monitored on an annual basis to ensure ongoing compliance and effectiveness of this corrective action plan.
Finding No. 2024-001 – Late Submission of 2023 Data Collection Form to the FAC Criteria: Under 2 CFR §200.512, auditees are required to submit the reporting package, including the Single Audit report, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within 30 calendar days of receiving the auditor’s report and no later than nine months after the end of the fiscal year. Condition and context: The Organization did not submit its 2023 Single Audit reporting package to the FAC within the required timeframe. The submission occurred after the nine-month deadline. Cause: Management oversight and misunderstanding of the final submission process requirements contributed to the delay in submitting the Single Audit package to the FAC. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the federal reporting requirements and could potentially jeopardize its low-risk auditee status for future periods. Questioned Costs: None. Identification as a Repeat Finding: N/A. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that all required audit reporting packages are reviewed, completed, and submitted to the FAC timely in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. Views of Responsible Official: Management agrees with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.

Finding 2024-003: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Mortgage Insurance for the Purchase or Refinancing of Existing Multifamily Housing Projects (Section 223(f)/207) Statement of Condition: The Organization did not submit the data collection forms and required reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) by the required due date for the single audit for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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. Additionally, 2 CFR Section 200.512(a) requires the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the FAC the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period. Effect: Noncompliance with Uniform Guidance regulations. Cause: The completion of the audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 was delayed due to the absence of signatures. 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 to determine if the Corporation qualified as a low-risk auditee. A single audit was performed under the Uniform Guidance for the year ending December 31, 2023, however, the data collection form was not submitted to the FAC within the required due dates. Questioned Costs: $0 Recommendation: We recommend the board of directors and management ensure that the audit and data collection forms are completed timely and the data collection form and required reporting package are submitted electronically to the FAC each fiscal year going forward by the required due date. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges the data collection form for the year ended December 31, 2023 was not submitted to the FAC within the required due date.

The data collection form for the year ending December 31, 2023 was submitted to the FAC on January 2, 2025.

Late Report Submissions to Federal Audit Clearinghouse and HUD Identification as a Repeat Finding: Not a repeat finding Finding: The Authority did not file its annual 2023 Single Audit and Data Collection Form timely with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC), and did not file its audited Financial Data Schedule timely with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Criteria: As stated in 2 CFR 200.512(a)(1), the Uniform Guidance requires submission of the Single Audit Reporting Package and Data Collection Form to the FAC nine months after the fiscal year-end. As stated in 24 CFR 902.33(c), HUD requires public housing authorities to submit an audited Financial Data Schedule (FDS) through FASS-PH no later than 9 months after the fiscal year-end. As such, the Authority’s 2023 Single Audit and Data Collection Form submission to the FAC and the audited FDS submission to HUD were both due September 30, 2024. Sample Size and Population: Sampling was not applicable to this finding. Condition: The FAC submission and the audited FDS submission were each filed more than 30 days late. Cause: During 2023, the Authority underwent a major accounting and tenant management software conversion which resulted in delays in completing the Single Audit. Effect: The Authority was non-compliant with Uniform Guidance and HUD reporting deadlines. Late availability of audit information delayed Federal oversight and public transparency. Recommendations: Develop internal controls that provide for month-end and year-end accounting close milestone that include deadlines that will ensure external reporting deadlines are able to be met.

Condition Found: The audit for the year ended December 31, 2023, was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse until October 8, 2025, after the required submission deadline of September 30, 2024. Questioned Costs: None. Cause and Effect: The Organization was unable to make submit the DCF and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse before the submission deadline due to delays in the audit of the consolidated financial statements due to a delay in the debt workout plan from USDA. The late submission placed the auditee in noncompliance with Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. This could impact the auditee’s eligibility for future federal funding and may be considered in the federal agency’s risk assessment Recommendation: Management should implement procedures to help ensure the timely completion of future audits and submission of the reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Views of Responsible Official and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding and recommendation. See Corrective Action Plan attached.
Finding 2024-001: Lack of Internal Control over Financial Reporting Information on the Federal Program: Assistance Listing Number 11.405 - Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research. Award Number NA22NMF4050043 (MA 1797). Compliance Requirement: Reporting. Type of Finding: Material Noncompliance. Criteria: Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR § 200.305 Report Submission requires that a non-federal entity submit its Single Audit report, data collection form (SF-SAC), and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 days after the receipt of the auditor's report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: The auditee's fiscal year-end is December 31, 2024. Per 2 CFR § 200.512, the reporting package was due on September 30, 2025. The auditee did not submit the completed Single Audit package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse until after the required due date. Context: A review of the auditee's internal records and the FAC website confirmed that the Single Audit reporting package was not submitted by the required deadline. The delay was primarily caused by the lack of timely reconciliation of the auditee's financial records, which postponed the auditor's ability to complete their fieldwork. Cause: Management had not established and maintained effective internal controls over reporting to ensure timely submission of audited financial statements to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect or Potential Effect: The late submission put the auditee in noncompliance with federal regulations. This hinders the oversight agency from getting timely information about the auditee’s financial and compliance status. A lack of internal controls over required compliance requirements could affect the Organization receiving future federal funding. Questioned Costs: None Repeat Finding: Repeat finding of 2024-001 Recommendation: We recommend that management timely submit annual audit report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. To do this, management should develop and implement a clear timeline with internal milestones for completing audit preparation and review. Management should also establish internal control procedures that assign specific responsibilities to staff to ensure that all federal reporting deadlines are met. Views of Responsible Official: Management of the Organization concurs with the audit finding and will immediately implement the auditors’ recommendations. Internal control procedures will be put into place to establish milestones and overseen by the Executive director.

Effect: The County is not in compliance with Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements (Subpart F: 2 CFR 200.512). Recommendation: The County should strengthen its internal controls over year-end financial close and reporting with adopted policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the Report submission portion of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements section. Management’s Response: See corrective action plan.

Condition: The Data Collection Form was not submitted to the FAC within the nine-month period for the year ended December 31, 2024. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the requirement to complete the filing required by the Uniform Guidance within nine months of its year end, and therefore, the Organization cannot be considered a low risk auditee for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2026. Context: When performing our audit we noted the Data Collection Form submission to the FAC was not filed on a timely basis. Cause: Delays in finalizing the Organization's financial statements and obtaining supporting testing documentation caused the audit report and accompanying reporting package to be completed later than planned, which in turn delayed submission to the FAC. Repeat Finding: 2023-001, 2022-001 and 2021-001 Recommendation: The Organizaion should implement or enhance internal controls and procedures to ensure timely completion of financial statements, timely gathering of audit documentation, and monitoring of the submission deadline for the FAC reporting package. The Organization should consider establishing an internal deadline ahead of the regulatory deadline to provide a buffer for final review and submission. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Organization concurs with the recommendation. See attached Correction Action Plan.

Finding Number: 2024-001 - Represents a material weakness in internal control over compliance and nonmaterial noncompliance with AIDS United's major federal program Repeat Finding: No Questioned Costs: None Major Program: AL#93.928 - Supporting Public Health Capacity Condition: During the audit, Wipfli LLP proposed several adjusting journal entries to properly record cash, investments, grants receivable, promises to give, funds held under agency agreements, grant revenue, and net assets which we deem to be material in relation to the financial statements. We noted that not all accounts were consistently reconciled on a timely basis and there is no indication that adjusting journal entries are consistently reviewed by someone other than the preparer. Since the internal controls of AIDS United did not detect and record the adjustments described above prior to the audit, a material weakness exists in AIDS United's internal controls over financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Due to the issues described above, the audit was delayed and as a result the 2024 data collection form and reporting package was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in a timely manner. Criteria: Internal controls are effective if they are properly designed and implemented to prevent or detect account misstatements prior to the audit. The Report Submission that is codified in 2 CFR Part 200.512 requires the auditee must submit the applicable data elements of the data collection form 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. Cause: The internal controls of the Organization were not effective in preventing or detecting and correcting the misstatements described above prior to the audit. The 2024 audit was not completed prior to the due date. Effect: As a result of the financial reporting matter identified in the condition paragraph, a material weakness exists in the Organization's internal controls over financial reporting. The Organization was also not in compliance with audit submission requirements, resulting in nonmaterial noncompliance. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization implement procedures, such as timely reconciling of accounts and review of all reconciliations and adjusting journal entries by someone other than the preparer, to provide sufficient internal control over financial reporting so all necessary transactions are recorded in accordance with GAAP. This will ensure timely completion of the audit and submission of the audit package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. View of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding and has committed to a corrective action plan.
Criteria - In accordance with Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR § 200.512(a)(1), non-federal entities that are required to have a Single Audit must submit the audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receiving the auditors’ reports, or nine months after the end of the fiscal year. The non-federal entity is responsible for submitting the reporting package, which includes the Data Collection Form (DCF) and the required audit reports. Condition - Management did not submit the reporting package including the DCF for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, to the FAC by the deadline of September 30, 2025. Cause - The County experienced delays in providing necessary information to the external auditors, which led to the late filing. Effect of Condition - Failure to submit the single audit on time is a violation of Federal regulations and will result in the County not being a low-risk auditee for the next two audit periods. Statistical Sampling - The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Questioned Costs - None noted. Recommendation - Management should implement internal controls and procedures to ensure the timely submission of future reporting packages and the DCFs to the FAC. This should include establishing a project timeline and assigning responsibilities of key tasks to County employees as necessary. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action - The County Treasurer and Board of Supervisors will develop and implement internal controls and procedures to ensure the timely submission of future reporting packages to the FAC. Management expects to have this developed in time for the audit of the year ended December 31, 2025.
Condition: The auditee did not submit its fiscal year 2023 Single Audit reporting package to the FederalAudit Clearinghouse by the required due date. The audit report was finalized on and submitted tothe FAC on October 24, 2024, approximately one month late. Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.512(a) and (b), the auditee must submit the reporting package (including thedata collection form and the Single Audit report) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within theearlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: The Agency failed to have an audit completed and data collection from submitted before therequired deadline. Effect: Failure to timely file the reporting package to the FAC constitutes noncompliance with Uniform Guidance requirements and may affect the entity’s eligibility for future federal funding or trigger additional oversight. Recommendation: We recommend that management establish and monitor internal controls to ensuretimely submission of the Single Audit reporting package to the FAC in accordance with 2 CFR §200.512. Acompliance calendar and secondary review process should be implemented to prevent recurrence. View of Responsible Officials: See auditee prepared Corrective Action Plan.
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 reporting package and data collection form for the year ended December 31, 2024, was not filed by the deadline of September 30, 2025 to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Context: The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended December 31, 2024, was filed late to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect: The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended December 31, 2024, was not accessible to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in a timely manner. Cause: Due to delays in completing the financial statement audit, which was issued on November 14, 2025, The Booker T. Washington Community Center of Auburn, N.Y., Inc. was unable to submit the reporting package and data collection form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the required timeline. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization adopt policies and procedures, including tracking and monitoring of reporting requirements to ensure that the audit, reporting package, and data collection form are electronically filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the applicable deadline. Views of Responsible Official: See management’s Corrective Action Plan on page 26.
2024-003. Single Audit Report Submission Criteria or specific requirement (including statutory, regulatory, or other citation): In accordance with 2 CFR 200.412, the City is 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 and context: The City did not obtain an independent audit within the required period for submission. Cause: Lack of internal controls to ensure that an independent audit was completed timely. Effect or potential effect: The City did not comply with requirements of 2 CFR 200.512. Questioned costs: None. Identification as a repeat finding, if applicable: Repeat finding of 2023-002. Recommendation: The City should develop a course of action to ensure that future single audit reports are completed and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.512. Views of responsible officials: As detailed in the Corrective Action Plan, management has agreed to the findings and recommendations noted above.
The reporting package and data collection form for the 2023 audit was not filed by the September 30, 2024 deadline. CBPSC was in violation of 2 CFR Section 200.512(a). The delays in preparing for the 2023 single audit appeared to be the result of a combination of internal restructuring and procedural inefficiencies, which resulted in a very late audit start date. Uniform Guidance and 2023 Compliance Supplement, 2 CFR Section 200.512(a) requires the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditor, or nine months after the end of the audit period. CBPSC should ensure that its records are completed and reconciled in a timely manner, so that the single audit can be performed and completed on time, and the reporting package and data collection form can be submitted before the deadline. Management acknowledges that the reporting package and Data Collection Form for the 2023 audit were not filed by the required September 30, 2024 deadline. This delay resulted from setbacks regarding the system transition while separating from a fiscal sponsor. To help guarantee future submissions are on time, the organization has put new steps in place: stricter internal deadlines, improved monitoring processes, and closer staff supervision. Management believes these actions will prevent recurrence of this issue.
