This designation will require the auditor to audit at least 40% of the project's programs as major programs until such time that the project may be considered a “Low Risk Auditee” again. d. Cause of condition: The reporting package and data collection form was submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse 52 days late due to management not monitoring CPA firm to enter data collection form as agreed upon, resulting in a late filing. The form was submitted on August 21, 2024. e. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that reporting packages and data collection forms are filed timely in the future. f. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: R.J. Barrett Manor Housing Development Fund Company, Inc. agrees with the finding and the auditor’s recommendations have been adopted.
Criteria: 2 CFR 200.512(a)(1) requires non-Federal entities to submit the data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) 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. Condition: The Foundation’s fiscal year ended on September 30, 2024. Therefore, the Single Audit reporting package and data collection form were due to the FAC by June 30, 2025 (9 months after the fiscal year end). Questioned Costs: None Context: The Single Audit for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, was submitted late to the FAC. This late submission delays the availability of critical financial and compliance information to federal agencies responsible for overseeing federal awards administered by the Foundation. Effect: The late submission of the Single Audit report to the FAC may lead to restrictions on future federal funding and potentially more intensive scrutiny from oversight authorities. Cause: The delayed submission of the Single Audit to the FAC was primarily due to staffing constraints and capacity challenges that affected the timely completion of financial close and audit preparation processes. Recommendation: The Foundation should strengthen its internal controls over the financial close and reporting process and continue addressing personnel capacity to ensure timely completion of the annual Single Audit.

Condition: The auditee submitted the required reporting package to the FAC past the regulatory deadline. Cause: The delay was due to a combination of staff/management turnover in the finance department and late start of the audit. Effect: Late submission may result in noncompliance with federal regulations, potentially affecting the auditee’s eligibility for future federal funding and triggering additional oversight or sanctions.

Finding 2024-002: Submission of the Audit Reporting 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 Expenditures 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 Clearing House (FAC) within the required deadline. Cause: The delay was due to a lack of capacity in the finance department and not following the year-end closing schedule. 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: Management should address the lack of capacity in the finance department and monitor the year-end closing schedule for a timely audit reporting package and data collection form to ensure compliance with federal deadlines. Questioned costs: None Responsible Official's Response Management concurs with the finding. The Council recognizes the importance of timely submission of the SEFA and related audit documentation to maintain compliance with federal requirements. To address this issue, the Council has engaged an outside provider to assist with process improvements that will streamline financial reporting and ensure timely preparation and submission of all required audit materials. These enhancements will strengthen internal controls and support continued compliance in future reporting periods.
Finding 2024-001: Lack of Internal Control over Annual Report Submission of Single Audit Report Information on the Federal Program: Assistance Listing Number 10.697 – State & Private Forestry Hazardous Fuel Reduction Program. Award Numbers 19-DG-11010000-009, 20-DG-11010000-014, 21-DG-11010000-015, 22-DG-11010000-015, 23-DG-11010000-023. Compliance Requirement: Reporting. Type of Finding: Other, non-financial noncompliance. Criteria: Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR § 200.512 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 auditors’ report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: The auditee's fiscal year-end is September 30, 2024. Per 2 CFR § 200.512, the reporting package was due on June 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 auditee's delay in engaging an external auditor, which postponed the auditor's ability to complete fieldwork and issue by required due date. Cause: Management has 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: No prior year findings as this is the first year audit for the auditee. 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.

Government Auditing Standards also require timely access to financial records to support audit procedures and ensure the audit is completed in accordance with required timelines. Condition The City's financial records were not made available to the auditors until July 22, 2025, despite the Single Audit report being due by June 30, 2025. This delay prevented timely completion and submission of the audit. Cause The delay was due to the City not finalizing its year-end financial closeout in time to support audit fieldwork. Contributing factors included staffing turnover and delays in reconciling key accounts. Effect The Single Audit report was submitted late, resulting in noncompliance with federal reporting deadlines. This may affect the City's standing with federal agencies and could delay access to future federal funding. Recommendation We recommend the City implement procedures to ensure timely financial closeout and audit readiness, including: Establishing internal deadlines for closing the books Assigning responsibility for audit preparation tasks Conducting a pre-audit readiness review to ensure all records are complete and accessible Views of Responsible Officials We acknowledge the delay and are taking steps to improve our year-end close process. We will establish internal deadlines and assign staff to ensure timely audit preparation in future years.
Untimely Single Audit Filing Condition and criteria: The Authority did not submit their Single Audit Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 within nine months of the fiscal year end, as required by the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR § 200.512), resulting in a delinquent submission. Cause and Effect: There were inadequate internal controls in place regarding the audit process to ensure that timely submissions of the Single Audit report would be met. The delinquency may lead to the suspension or termination of federal funding, as well as potential penalties or corrective actions from the funding agency. Auditor’s Recommendations: The Authority should establish a system to closely monitor Single Audit deadlines, designate clear responsibilities for the audit process, and proactively communicate with the auditor to ensure timely completion and submission of the report. Authority’s Response: Eldred Borough Water Authority was unable to contract a CPA to perform the single audit. The Authority has since contracted with a CPA firm to perform the single audit and do not anticipate it being delayed in submission in future years.

Condition: PFI will submit its Data Collection Form (DCF) and Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse approximately 6 months past the required deadline. The delay occurred because the audit was not completed within the nine-month timeframe following the fiscal year-end, as required by Uniform Guidance. Cause: The audit was not completed timely due to delays in receiving requested information, follow-ups for additional information, the identification of several potential audit adjustments, the audit team’s need to extend sample sizes due to identified audit adjustments and internal control deficiencies, and extended review processes as a result of identified audit findings. Effect or Potential Effect: Late submission of the DCF and reporting package results in noncompliance with Uniform Guidance requirements and may impact PFI’s eligibility for future Federal funding or trigger additional oversight. Questioned Costs: None. Context: The DCF was filed after the nine-month timeframe following PFI’s fiscal year end. Recommendation: We recommend that PFI establish a timeline for audit preparation and obtain more assistance from their outsourced accountants to ensure that requests for information are completed timely and accurately.

Finding 2024-001 - Noncompliance with reporting deadline Criteria Under 2 CFR 200.512(a)–(b), auditees must submit the reporting package and Data Collection Form (DCF) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC): 1. Within 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s reports, or 2. Within nine months after the end of the audit period, whichever is earlier. Failure to submit the reporting package within this timeframe constitutes noncompliance with the Uniform Guidance. Condition For this first-time Single Audit, WAVE did not submit the required reporting package, including the DCF, to the FAC within the timeframe established by the Uniform Guidance. The reporting package was submitted after the required due date. Cause Because this was WAVE’s first Single Audit, management was not fully familiar with the Uniform Guidance reporting requirements and associated deadlines. WAVE had not yet developed internal procedures for tracking and completing the federal audit submission process. As a result, the filing deadline was missed. Effect WAVE did not comply with the Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Untimely filing may affect federal agencies’ access to required audit information for oversight purposes. In addition, because the reporting package was not submitted by the required deadline, the auditee does not meet one of the criteria to be considered a lowrisk auditee in future periods under 2 CFR 200.520. Recommendation We recommend WAVE establish internal controls and written procedures specific to Single Audit reporting requirements. These procedures should include: • Assigning responsibility for preparing and submitting the DCF and reporting package; • Maintaining a compliance calendar for federal filing deadlines; • Reviewing Uniform Guidance requirements applicable to ongoing Single Audits; and • Implementing a secondary review to ensure timely completion of the filing. These steps will help ensure that future reporting packages are submitted within the required timeframe. Views of Responsible Officials Management agrees with the finding. As this was WAVE’s first Single Audit, management is developing written procedures to ensure full understanding of, and compliance with, all Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. WAVE will implement a reporting calendar, designate responsible personnel, and establish review steps to ensure timely submission going forward.
Questioned Cost - None Repeat Finding - No. Criteria Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(1) requires the County to submit its Single Audit Reporting Package to the federal clearinghouse no later than 9 months after fiscal year-end, unless the County’s federal oversight agency approves an extension of this deadline. Condition Audit reports were not filed timely with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC). Cause The late completion of the County’s audit contributed to the late submission of its Single Audit Reporting Package. Effect The late submission affects all federal programs the County administers. However, this finding does not result in a control deficiency in internal controls over compliance or noncompliance for the individual federal programs, as this was not caused by the programs’ administration. Recommendation The County should improve its financial reporting process so that it can submit its Single Audit Reporting Package to the federal clearinghouse no later than 9 months after fiscal year-end.
