Finding 2023-001: Late Filing of Financial Statements Condition: The financial statements and related reporting package for the year ended December 31, 2023 were not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) by the required deadline of September 30, 2024. Criteria: Per the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR §200.512), auditees are required to submit the reporting package, including the financial statements and Single Audit report, within nine months of the fiscal year-end or 30 days after the auditor’s report is issued, whichever is earlier. Cause: The delay in filing was due to a combination of factors, which included turnover in key positions at National Association of Police Athletic/Activities Leagues, Inc. and delays in the completion of the audit process by the external auditors. Effect: The auditee was not in compliance with federal reporting requirements, which could result in delayed access to federal funds or other corrective actions by granting agencies. Recommendation: We recommend that management establish and implement procedures to ensure the timely preparation, review, and submission of financial statements and related reports in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. Management’s Response: Management acknowledges the delay in submission and is taking corrective action to address the issue. Steps include improving internal controls, implementing a detailed timeline for the audit process, etc. Management is committed to ensuring future compliance with reporting deadlines.
Finding 2023-002: Late Audit Submission Questioned Costs: None Criteria or Specific Requirement: 2 CFR section 200.512(a) requires the reporting package and data collection form be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: The December 31, 2023 audit and reporting package is being submitted after the required due date. Effect: SWCAP is not in compliance with federal regulations regarding audit timing and represents a significant deficiency in internal control over financial reporting. Cause: During 2023, SWCAP's Finance Director resigned. Due to the difficulties in finding an experienced replacement in the area, SWCAP contracted with an accounting firm to provide financial oversite duties. As part of this transition, SWCAP made a change in accounting software as well. Both of these transitions required a significant time commitment from the contracted accounting firm causing delays in providing financial information in a timely manner for the audit. Further, the audit documentation previously provided by the Finance Director was not provided by or was in a significantly different format from the contracted accountant. For example, Wipfli had to make adjustments to the financial information for a housing subsidiary and had to assist with consolidating housing subsidiaries, along with preparing substantially all of the notes to the consolidated financial statements and substantially preparing supplementary schedules. Finally, Wipfli had some staffing challenges that partially contributed to the delay. Repeat: No Auditor's Recommendations: SWCAP should take steps to ensure that its financial records are available in a timely manner to allow the audit to begin sufficiently before the audit due date. SWCAP also should work with their auditing firm to agree upon information that will and will not be prepared by SWCAP so that a proper audit plan can be developed for timely completion. View of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a written corrective action plan.
