Information on Federal Program – Assisting Listing Number 11.307, Economic Adjustment Assistance 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 auditor’s report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period, whichever comes first. Condition – The auditee did not submit the required audit reporting package for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required time frame which was beyond the required deadline of September 30, 2024. Questioned Costs: $0 Context: The reporting package was submitted past the required deadline. Cause - The delay was due to a lack of effective internal controls and oversight to ensure identification of federal funding and 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 auditee’s eligibility for future federal funding and subjecting the auditee to increased scrutiny or penalties. Recommendation - We recommend that the Organization establish and implement a formal process to monitor and ensure identification of federal funding and 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 concurs with this finding. Management has taken immediate steps to strengthen oversight and ensure future compliance. Knowledgeable personnel are now in place and have been made fully aware of all federal reporting requirements and deadlines. Management is actively developing formalized policies and procedures governing federal reporting, including a centralized compliance calendar, documented workflows, defined roles and responsibilities, and an internal review process prior to submission. These measures will be implemented by the first quarter of 2026.

(a) Audit required. 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 or program-specific audit conducted for that year in accordance with the provisions of this part. Part 200 - Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, And Audit Requirements For Federal Awards. 2 CFR § 200.512 - Report submission, states in part: (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. The Organization received communication from the California Department of Education indicating that the organization had federal fund expenditures of $750,000 or more during Fiscal Years FY2021-22 and FY2022-23 and is required to complete and submit annual audits. If J-Tech Institute, Inc. does not submit their annual organization-wide contract audit report or program-specific audit reports for FY2021-22 and FY2022-23 to the CDE and the FAC by October 9, 2025, the CDE will determine that J-Tech Institute, Inc. is seriously deficient in their operation of the SFSP in accordance with 7 CFR, Section 225.11(c). An extension was granted through December 1, 2025, per the Organization’s request. Condition: As of the date of this report, the Organization is late with its submission of the single audit report. Cause: The Organization did not have an adequate internal control system and procedures in place to ensure timely completion and submission of required single audit. Effect: The Organization exposes itself to the risk of granting agencies withholding funding for not completing and submitting the required Single Audit Report in a timely manner. Recommendation: We request the Organization to introduce additional controls to ensure annual single audits are completed as required in a timely manner. We recommend program management be more diligent in following its procedures and internal controls related to contracts in order to ensure compliance with applicable Federal and State requirements. Views of Responsible Officials: The Organization concurs with the finding and has introduced additional procedures in place as outlined in the Corrective Action Plan to ensure compliance with the requirements.
Finding 2023-006 – Timely Submission of the Single Audit Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – Administration for Children and Families Federal program: Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) ALN: 93.575 Compliance requirement: Reporting Category: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance Questioned costs: None Repeat finding: No Condition: As of the date of this report, Semillitas de Amor, Inc. has not submitted the Single Audit reporting package for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC). The reporting deadline was September 30, 2024. Criteria: 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires auditees to submit the Single Audit reporting package, including the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA), auditor’s reports, and corrective action plan, to the FAC no later than the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: Management did not have sufficient procedures in place to ensure timely completion and submission of the Single Audit. The audit process was initiated after the regulatory deadline due to delays in closing the financial records and subsequent difficulties in engaging an auditor. Effect: Failure to submit the Single Audit reporting package within the required timeframe represents noncompliance with federal requirements and may impact the entity’s eligibility for current and future federal funding. Federal agencies and pass-through entities are not able to rely on timely audit results to monitor the use of federal funds. Recommendation: We recommend that management establish and implement procedures to ensure the timely completion of the financial statement close and audit process, including engaging auditors well in advance of the required deadline, to comply with the federal reporting requirements.
Compliance and Other Matters Year Ended December 31, 2023 Untimely Single Audit Filing Condition and criteria: The Borough did not submit their Single Audit Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 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 Borough 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. Borough’s Response: Eldred Borough was unable to contract a CPA to perform the single audit. This process included months of phone calls and emails to over 30 CPA and Accounting Forms across the State of Pennsylvania. The Borough has since contracted with a CPA firm to perform the 2024 single audit and do not anticipate it being delayed in submission.

2023-004 TIMING OF AUDIT COMPLETION - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant Cluster ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks HOME Investment Partnership Program ALN 14.239; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery ALN 21.027; passed through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Criteria Per 2 CFR 200.512(a), auditees must submit the reporting package and 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 The Authority did not submit the Single Audit reporting package and Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe of nine months after the end of the audit period. The 2022 reporting package was submitted on May 7, 2025, which was after the nine-month due date of September 30, 2023. In addition, the 2023 reporting package was not submitted by the September 30, 2024 due date. Cause The significant increase in grant funding limited staff capacity to prepare for and provide information requested for the audit. For example, key reconciliations needed to support balances were not prepared by management prior to the audit. Effect The delay in the submission of the data collection form and audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse will result in the Authority not being considered a low-risk auditee as defined by the Uniform Guidance for the following two years. Questioned Costs None Context The lack of staff resources to timely close the accounting records has resulted in compounded delays in closing the subsequent 2023 and 2024 year-ends as well. The Authority has taken steps such as hiring additional accounting staff, and engaging a consulting firm to assist with bringing the accounting records up to date and past-due audits submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Repeat Finding Yes; 2022-003. Recommendation We recommend that the Authority continue to execute their plan to bring the accounting records up to date and submit outstanding audited financial statements to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Management Response The Authority will continue to execute their plan to bring the accounting records up to date and submit outstanding audited financial statements to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Current Status of Corrective Action Plan While the Authority continues to be delinquent on audit completions, a consulting firm was hired to assist with bringing records up to date.

Additionally, the Authority has entered into a contract with an auditing firm to complete audits for 2023 and 2024 by December 2025.
Finding 2023-004 - U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Mortgage Insurance Rental and Cooperative Housing for Moderate Income Families and Elderly, Market Interest Rate, ALN #14.135 Statement of Condition: The Corporation did not submit the data collection form and required reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) for the year ended December 31, 2022 by the required due date. 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. The Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR Part 200 Section 200.512(a)(1), Report Submission, requires the data collection form and the reporting package described in 2 CFR Part 200 Section 200.512 to be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor's report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period. Effect: Noncompliance with Uniform Guidance regulations. Cause: Limited available cash flow. 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 by the required due dates to determine if the Corporation qualified as a low-risk auditee. For the year ended December 31, 2021, an audit was performed under the Uniform Guidance and the data collection form was submitted January 5, 2023 which is after the due date of September 30, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2022, an audit was performed under the Uniform Guidance and the data collection form was submitted July 17, 2024 which is after the due date of September 30, 2023. Questioned Costs: N/A Recommendation: We recommend management ensure that the data collection forms are submitted electronically to the FAC each fiscal year going forward. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges the data collection form for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 were submitted late. The project was unable to pay the prior audit fees timely due to limited available cash flow causing a delay in the audits. Management will work to improve cash flow for timely payment of the required annual audits.
Criteria - According to 2 CFR §200.512, non-federal entities must submit their audit reports, including financial information, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition - The City did not submit its audited financial information for the year ended December 31, 2023, to the FAC by the required deadlines.

2023-005 – Reporting Program: ALN# 47.070 = Computer and Information Science and Engineering Grant #: 2216614, 2122756, Grant Period: Year Ended December 31, 2023 Government Agency: National Science Foundation Criteria: Under 2 CFR 200.301 and 2 CFR 200.328, non-Federal entities must maintain documentation sufficient to demonstrate compliance with Federal reporting requirements, including performance and financial reporting. Per the requirements contained in 2 CFR 200.512 (a), the auditee is responsible for submitting the data collection form and the reporting package, including the auditors’ reports, within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditors’ report or nine months after the end of the audit period to the federal audit clearinghouse. Condition: The Organization was unable to provide supporting documentation for the reports submitted to the Federal agency. Specifically, the Organization did not retain copies of the financial and performance reports, nor did it maintain documentation evidencing the data used to prepare those reports. The audit package and data collection form were not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse for the reporting year December 31, 2023 within nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: The Organization’s document retention procedures are not sufficiently designed or implemented to ensure that required reporting documentation is retained in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. Account analyses were not performed in a timely manner throughout the year and this led to delays in the start of the audit process. Effect: The lack of adequate documentation increases the risk that: • Reports submitted to the funding agency may be inaccurate or incomplete. • Reporting errors may go undetected. • The Organization may be found noncompliance with Federal record retention requirements. The Organization is deficient in its submission of the required audit reporting package and data collection form. As such, the Organization is noncompliant with the reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs identified. Context: This sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization implement appropriate policies, procedures and controls to ensure that records are maintained in accordance with the applicable compliance requirements and to ensure that future submissions of the Uniform Guidance reports are filed timely. Views of Responsible Officials: See management corrective action plan attached.
Condition/Context The Corporation did not submit the Data Collection Form for the year ended December 31, 2023 to the OMB in a timely manner as required by Uniform Guidance section 2 CFR 200.512.
2023-004—Late Audit Report Federal program information: Funding agency: All Title: All Assistance Listing Number (ALN): All Award number and year: All Criteria: According to 2 CFR Part 200.512, the annual single 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 (September 30, 2024). Condition: FCCH’s 2023 single audit reporting package was not submitted by the due date of September 30, 2024. Questioned Costs: None Context: N/A Cause: FCCH experienced turnover in the accounting department in key positions in recent years, which caused significant delays in completion of the year-end reconciliations of the financial statements and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Effect: FCCH was unable to completely reconcile certain general ledger accounts timely, which resulted in the audit not being completed within the reporting deadline. Auditor’s Recommendations: FCCH should implement its approved policies and procedures and complete the year-end account reconciliations in a timely manner to ensure the timely completion of the audit and submission of the single audit reporting package. Management’s Response: FCCH leadership inherited a situation in which the organization was woefully behind in its accounting records. The existing team has relentlessly pursued getting caught up. Turnoveer has hampered our efforts, yet we remain committed to the task. We are committed to continuing the effort to become fully compliant and to submit our 2025 audit on time. The FCCH Board of Directors shall ensure accountability for completing all audits in the future on time.
In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.512(a)(1), the Organization is required to submit the Data Collection Form, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditors’ report or nine months after the end of the audit period.
Compliance with Reporting Under the Uniform Guidance Information on Federal Program: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistance Listing No. 14.871 and Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Assistance Listing No. 21.027. Criteria: According to the code of federal regulations section § 200.520 (a), single audits must be performed on an annual basis, including submitting the data collection form and the reporting package to the FAC within the timeframe specified in §200.512 which is the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Statement of Condition: The data collection forms for the years 2019 through 2021 have not been submitted timely. Statement of Cause: Due to significant turnover in key positions within the Town’s fiscal office, the financial audits are currently behind. The results of the financial audits are required as part of the submission with the data collection form to the FAC, therefore, the data collection forms cannot be completed and submitted until the completion of the financial audits. Statement of Effect: The Town was not in compliance with federal guidelines. Questioned Cost: None. Repeat Finding: Yes. Perspective Information: As part of testing the compliance with the Uniform Guidance, the dates of the submissions to the FAC are reviewed. Recommendation: The Town should follow federal guidelines by submitting the data collection form to the FAC in a timely manner. Views of responsible officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Town of Guilderland Comptroller’s Office suffered significant turnover in key positions during the fiscal years of 2019 and 2021 including the retirement of the Town Comptroller and Fiscal Officer. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic had significant impact to the Town, particularly during 2020 when remote work was encouraged. This combination and sequence of events made it impossible to meet the required external audit reporting deadlines. Since these events, the Town has filled the vacant positions and has scheduled all remaining audits. The auditors are working as expeditiously as possible to complete the remaining audits. The required reporting noted in the guidelines above cannot be completed until each prior year audit is finished, therefore causing a delay in each fiscal year’s reporting.
I noted that the Native Village of Paimiut did not submit their audit within the required 9 month timeframe of year end. Per 2 CFR, Section 200.512, the Native Village of Paimiut must submit their audit within 9 months of their fiscal year end. Due to the covid pandemic, this was extended for six months. The Native Village was still addressing covid related delays. Management is aware of the requirement and has started to prepare for the 2024 and 2025 audits. Audit was late. Due to the nature of this finding, there is no suggestion or recommendation considered necessary. Management has already started work on their 2024 and 2025 audit preparation and expects to be current on audits as of the 2024 audit. This was reported in the prior year as Finding 2020-001, 2021-001, and 2022-001.

Condition: The Organization did not submit the single audit reporting package to the FAC within the required timeframe. Cause: The late filing resulted from delays in completing the audit caused by the identification and remediation of internal control matters during the audit process, combined with staff turnover in key financial reporting positions.

Views of Responsible Officials: The planned audit timeline was impacted by ongoing functional issues of the newer ERP City-wide financial management system, expanded managerial budget and related project supporting work asked of the Accounting Manager, and recent occurring vacancies in key financial managerial positions. The Accounting Manager will continue to work and strategize for improved efficiency in the performance of future audit preparation work.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Direct Program Program Name: Rural Health Outreach and Rural Network Development / National Organizations for State and Local Officials CFDA#: 93.912 / 93.011 SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Reporting Criteria: Under Uniform Guidance 2 CFR § 200.512(a)(1), the audit, the data collection form, and the reporting package must be submitted within 30 calendar days after the auditee receives the auditor's report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period (whichever is earlier). Condition: Hawaii State Rural Health Association (HSRHA) did not meet the reporting deadline with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Cause: Partially due to the rural healthcare outreach for COVID-19, the amount of Federal grant funds awarded to HSRHA increased significantly during 2023, while the administrative operations were still managed by volunteer Board members.

The City is also required to submit the WI DHS cost reimbursement awards within nine months after the end of the audit period if funds received from the Department of Health Services exceed $100,000. City management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over the fair presentation of the schedule of federal and state awards and the settlement of WI DHS cost reimbursement awards, including disclosures in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, the Wisconsin State Single Audit Guidelines, and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Audit Guide. Effect: The potential exists that a material misstatement of the schedule of federal and state awards and the settlement of WI DHS cost reimbursement awards could occur and not be prevented or detected by the City’s internal controls in the normal course of business. Cause: The City’s internal controls failed to prepare and submit timely the schedule of federal and state awards and the settlement of WI DHS cost reimbursement awards for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding.
2023-003 Timely Filing of Single Audit Report Type of Finding Compliance - Other Matter Criteria or Specific Requirement According to 2 CFR 200.512(a) of the Uniform Guidance, auditees are required to submit the audit report and Data Collection Form (DCF) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditor or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition and Context The DCF has not been submitted by its due date of September 30, 2024. Cause Delays in the federal single audit process led to the delay in the federal single audit being completed. Effect or Potential Effect Delays in the single audit resulted in the FAC deadline being missed. Failure to submit the single audit report timely constitutes noncompliance with federal audit requirements. No questioned costs are reported as this requirement is administrative in nature. Recommendation The County should implement formal internal control policies and procedures to rectify the conditions noted above. Views of Responsible Official Management’s corrective action plan is included at the end of this report after the Schedule of Prior Year Findings.

The fiscal year ended on December 31, 2023, making the reporting package due no later than September 30, 2024. However, the audit report date is July 13, 2026, resulting in the late submission of the single audit reporting package to the FAC. Additionally, the audit report for the year ended December 31, 2024 has not yet been issued. Cause of Condition: The delay occurred because of employee turnover and lack of adequate internal controls over financial reporting timelines. The auditee did not have sufficient processes in place to ensure the timely preparation and issuance of financial statements. Effect of Condition: Because the financial statements and reporting package were issued late, the auditee failed to comply with federal reporting requirements, federal agencies and pass-through entities did not receive timely financial and compliance information needed for monitoring and oversight, and the delay increases the risk that financial reporting issues may go undetected or unresolved. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend that management (1) strengthen internal controls over year-end financial reporting to ensure timely completion of the audit, (2) implement a detailed closing schedule and tracking process to monitor deadlines, (3) ensure adequate staffing or external support during the financial statement preparation and audit process, and (4) conduct periodic reviews to confirm compliance with federal Single Audit submission deadlines. Identification of Repeat Finding: The finding is a repeat of the finding noted in the audit for December 31, 2022 as finding 2022-004. Views of Responsible Officials: Management understands and accepts the recommendation as outlined in the Corrective Action Plan.

Compliance with Reporting Requirements Information on Federal Program: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development CDBG-Entitlement/Special Purpose Grants Cluster, COVID-19 CDBG-CV Assistance Listing number 14.218, passed through New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation. Criteria: 2 CFR section 200.512(a) requires the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditor or 9 months after the end of the reporting period. Therefore, the December 31, 2023, reporting package deadline was September 30, 2024. Statement of Condition: The Single Audit was not filed within 9 months after year end as required by the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Statement of Cause: The audit of the financial statements and Single Audit was not able to be completed prior to the submission deadline. Delays in obtaining information related to testing for the major program was the most significant contributing factor. Statement of Effect: The Foundation was not in compliance with federal guidelines. Questioned Costs: None Perspective Information: The Foundation has not previously had a financial statement audit or single audit. This caused delays in the process as additional considerations were necessary. Additionally, due to the nature of the major program, there was a significant volume of information accumulated for determining distribution of the funds. While most of this information was centrally located, some items requested for testing needed to be obtained from outside of that central location which caused delays in the process. Recommendation: We recommend management review policies and procedures to ensure timely and accurate information is available in order to complete the audit process timely. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management will ensure that the single audit and all necessary addendums and reports are filed on time.
Federal Program: Direct - USDA Rural Utilities Service award; ALN 10.760, 'Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities' (Single Audit / Uniform Guidance) Condition: The Great Northwest Wholesale Water Commission did not complete and submit its reporting package, including the SEFA and the single audit report, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within nine months of the fiscal year end. Questioned Costs: None. Criteria: Under 2 CFR §200.512, the audit must be completed, and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted within 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report, or nine months after the fiscal year end, whichever is earlier. Context / Cause: The Commission was not aware that its federal award expenditures exceeded the $750,000 single audit threshold under 2 CFR §200.501 and did not engage auditors until November 2025. As a result, the single audits for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024 are being performed concurrently and will be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse upon completion. Effect: Non-compliance with federal filing deadlines, which can place the entity on a federal risk-status list or jeopardize future grant funding eligibility. Recommendation: Management should implement a strict year-end financial closing schedule and engage external auditors early to ensure the SEFA is compiled, reconciled, and audited on time. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and has established a timeline to complete future filings prior to the statutory deadline.
