2024-002 (2023-006) – LATE DATA COLLECTION FORM Type of Finding: (G) –Instance of Non-Compliance Related to Federal Awards 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 Heading Home submitted the data collection form after the required due date. Context Heading Home was required to submit its data collection form for the year ended June 30, 2024, by March 31, 2025. Criteria The audit shall be completed, and the data collection form and reporting package shall be electronically transmitted within the earlier period of 30 days after receipt of the auditor's reports, 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 (2 CFR 200.512(a)). Cause Heading Home did not submit the June 30, 2024, data collection form and reporting package by the due date due to significant program expansion and a backlog created within the administrative team. T Effect Heading Home is not in compliance with Federal Award data collection form requirements and could jeopardize future federal funding. Recommendation Heading Home should implement procedures and controls to ensure that all future audit reports and data collection forms are completed promptly. View of Responsible Official and Corrective Action Plan Heading Home management is in agreement with this finding. After years of turnover in key management positions steps have been taken to address staffing challenges and these positions have been successfully staffed with high-quality individuals who bring extensive knowledge and expertise to their roles. These positions include a new Chief Executive Officer, Director of Operations, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Human Services. To address challenges in accounting and finance Heading Home has contracted with a local CPA firm specializing in nonprofit accounting and financial reporting to assist the CFO with daily accounting tasks, the monthly close, financial reporting to management and the board of directors, and to facilitate and ensure audits are completed timely each year. The new management group is committed to maintaining a skilled and competent team in key financial roles. The FY23 audit was completed in May 2025 and the Headin Home accounting team anticipates the FY24 audit to be completed by November 2025. While this will once again result in a late filing, the new management team has made significant strides in a short amount of time and anticipates that the 2025 and all future audits will be submitted on or before the March 31st due date. Management anticipates the above corrective action plan to be fully implemented by November 30, 2025. Personnel responsible for ensuring implementation include Connie Chavez, Executive Director and Debbie Brickman, Chief Financial Officer.

Condition: CCS’s fiscal year 2024 single audit package was not submitted within nine months after the end of the audit period. Statistical sampling was not relevant to this finding. Cause: CCS did not have appropriate internal control policies and procedures in place to ensure that the single audit package was submitted within nine months after year end. Effective: CCS was not in compliance with federal requirements related to the single audit report submission. Questioned costs: None. Perspective: CCS’s single audit package was not submitted within nine months after the end of the period under audit. Recommendation: To ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance, CCS should ensure that the audit is performed in a timely manner to submit the single audit reporting package within nine months after the end of the audit period. View of responsible officials: Management concurs with this finding. See corrective action plan.
Submission of the Audit Package and Data Collection Form - Federal Agency: Various Assistance Listing Number: Multiple Compliance Requirement: Reporting Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.510(b), the auditee must prepare a Schedule of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements. Per §200.512(a), the SEFA must be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the required deadline. Condition: The audit reporting package and data collection form for the year ended June 30, 2024, was not submitted to the FAC within the timeframe as required by the Uniform Guidance. Cause: The delay was due to identified discrepancies and inconsistencies in the initial financial statement reconciliations which the Organization subsequently prepared revised reconciliations, made material adjustments to affected accounts, and issued an updated trial balance. This caused a significant delay in the audit testing and wrap up. Effect: To qualify as a low-risk auditee, 2 CFR section 200.520 requires the audit reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the FAC by the due date for each of the previous two years. Late filing will result in noncompliance with timely submission of financial information to the grantor agencies. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization strengthen its internal controls over the reconciliation process, including implementing a formal review procedure and ensuring reconciliations are supported by complete and accurate documentation prior to audit fieldwork. Timely and accurate reconciliations are critical to maintaining reliable financial reporting and audit readiness. Questioned costs: None Responsible Official's Response: CMJTS acknowledges the delay and has been making improvements to ensure reconciliations are done timely. Accounting staff have been given additional training on bank reconciliations, and they are now reconciling bank transactions daily. This real time reconciling helps ensure that all transactions are processed accurately. Bank reconciliations are then signed off by Finance Manager and the Board Treasurer monthly. Accounting staff have been given additional training on statement of financial position reconciliations and will be reconciling them monthly. The statement of financial position, with supporting documentation, will then be signed off by the Finance Manager monthly.
