Finding Text

Criteria: Recipients are required to submit quarterly financial and semiannual performance reports within thirty days of the close of a quarterly or semiannual time period. The quarterly reports are also required to have all financial records, such as general ledgers and supporting documentation. Condition: Multiple required reports were not submitted timely and/or were not properly supported. Context: The City did not submit two quarterly financial reports within thirty days of the close of the quarter.
