Finding 2023-02 Federal Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance Over Reporting Repeat Finding: No Condition: The Organization’s single audit report and the data collection form were not completed within nine months after the end of the audit period. Criteria: Per 2 CFR 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. (2) Unless restricted by Federal statutes or regulations, the auditee must make copies available for public inspection. Auditees and auditors must ensure that their respective parts of the reporting package do not include protected personally identifiable information. Cause: The Organization’s fiscal year 2023, financial statements and Single Audit was not completed within the nine months after the end of the audit period. The Organization did not have the policies and resources in place to complete a single audit in a timely manner. Effect: Failure to submit the reporting package and data collection form within the required timeframe results in non-compliance with the Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization creates policies and procedures to ensure that audits are started and completed in a timely fashion so the reporting package submission to the Federal government can be made in accordance with Federal guidelines. We also recommend that individuals responsible for administering Federal assistance programs with the Organization receive training in grant administration. Auditee Response and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. Refer to the Corrective Action Plan.
Condition: The Organization did not submit the Single Audit Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse prior to the September 30, 2024, deadline.

Cause: The Organization’s audit was not completed and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse prior to the deadline for the year ended December 31, 2023. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the requirements of 2 CFR section 200.512(a) regarding the timely submission of the Single Audit Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The effect will not allow the Organization to be considered a low risk auditee for their next two annual Single Audits. Questioned Costs: N/A Recommendation: We recommend the Organization complete and submit all future annual Single Audits to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse prior to the required deadline to ensure all compliance requirements are met. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management stated they intend to complete and submit all future audits prior to the required deadline. Management stated the failure was due solely to delays by the auditor. The auditor disagrees with this assertion, based upon the audit timeline evidenced in the audit documentation.
Finding Type - Material weakness relative to timely reporting of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards ("SEFA") and associated data collection form on reporting for single audits. Criteria - Per 2 CFR 200.512 (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. Per 2 CFR 200.501 (b), a non-Federal entity that expends $750,000 or more during the non-Federal entity's fiscal year in Federal awards must have a single audit conducted in accordance with section 200.514. Condition - the data collection form was not submitted within the required time as required by 2 CFR 200.512. Context - The Organization had $1,048,996 in expenditures under various federal awards to report on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards ("SEFA") for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Organization did not have the single audit completed within the Uniform Guidance required timeframe. Cause/Effect - The Organization's controls were not adequate to ensure compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and Uniform Guidance requirements. Recommendation - We recommend the Organization strengthen internal controls and evaluate or monitor compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of their awards.

The Organization has remedied its controls and procedures to ensure the single audit is completed witthin the required timeline.

Cause: The Governmental Department policies were not always followed or controls were not in place to ensure complete and accurate information could be provided timely.
