Finding Text

Condition: The data collection form for the Single Audit ended December 31, 2021, was not submitted to the Federal Clearing House by April 30, 2022. Criteria: 2 CFR section 200.512 (b) provides for a form, referred to as the data collection form, to be prepared at the completion of each audit and submitted by the auditee to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: The submission was inadvertently missed and therefore, the data collection form required to be submitted at audit completion was not filed by 30 calendar days. Effect: Ozark Meadow Apartments, Inc. has not met the reporting requirement related to timely submission of the data collection form required for a Single Audit. Therefore, per 2 CFR section 200.520, Ozark Meadows Apartments, Inc. (The Project) will not meet the low-risk auditee criteria for further Single Audits that requires submission of the data collection form and reporting package by the due date for each of the two preceding audit years. Recommendation: We recommend the Project develop specific procedures to ensure that the data collection form is submitted within the reporting deadline. Views of Responsible Officials: The Project will work with the audit firm to ensure that the audit field work is scheduled with sufficient time to allow the audit report and data collection form to be filed timely in the future
