STATEMENT OF CONDITION PRIDCO did not submit the Data Collection Form and Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse of fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 during the required period. QUESTIONED COSTS None PERSPECTIVE INFORMATION PRIDCO was unable to provide timely the financial statements and related supporting documentation in order to apply required audit procedures.

If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day”. Condition The Department has not submitted the Single Audit Reporting Packages for the year ended June 30, 2023. Cause The Single Audit Reporting Packages late submission results from the operational changes caused by Act No. 171 of October 2, 2014 (Act No. 171) enactment. Act No. 171 integrated the Labor Development Program and the WIOA Cluster Programs with the Department. This merger, in conjunction with other difficulties in accounting and reporting processes, has delayed the Department’s efforts to bring up to date all federal filings. Effect If the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity determines that noncompliance cannot be remedied by imposing additional conditions, the Federal awarding agency or passthrough entity may take one or more of the following actions, as appropriate in the circumstances: a) Temporarily withhold cash payments pending correction of the deficiency by the non-Federal entity or more severe enforcement action by the Federal awarding agency or passthrough entity. b) Disallow (that is, deny both use of funds and any applicable matching credit for) all or part of the cost of the activity or action not in compliance. c) Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the Federal award. d) Initiate suspension or debarment proceedings as authorized under 2 CFR part 180 and Federal awarding agency regulations (or in the case of a passthrough entity, recommend such a proceeding be initiated by a federal awarding agency). e) Withhold further Federal awards for the project or program. f) Take other remedies that may be legally available. Questioned Costs None. Identification as a Repeated Finding This is a repeat finding from the immediate previous audit, Finding No. 2022-005.Recommendation The data collection form and single audit reporting package must be submitted within the required due dates. Also, we strongly suggest the accounting department to take whatever steps necessary to ensure that senior management receives current and accurate financial information on a timely basis. If it is determined that the department is understaffed, steps should be taken to alleviate this problem so that work can remain current without an undue hardship on any one employee. Once up to date, the accounting staff must consistently provide management with the accurate financial reports and information necessary to effectively manage the Department’s operations and comply with the reporting deadlines.

Condition: The Center did not submit the single audit within the required period for submission. Cause: The Center did not have sufficient staffing in place to properly monitor and adhere to the respective due dates. Effect or potential effect: The Center did not comply with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.512. Recommendation: Staffing should be sufficient to ensure that all external reports are prepared and submitted on a timely basis. Staffing should contemplate not only the preparation of the various reports, but also a formal, documented review process. Views of responsible officials: Refer to the Corrective Action Plan prepared by the Center in regard to this matter.
