2023-002 Timely Filing of Required Reports: Congressional Grants – FALN 59.059
Condition and context: During the period of audit, it was noted that the two reports required by
the Agreement were not submitted by the due date noted in the Agreement.
Criteria: Reporting procedures are an integral part of the Compliance Requirements in
accordance with the Uniform Guidance.
Cause: The Organization was unable to submit reports within the required time period.
Effect: Improvement is needed in order to comply with the reporting requirements of the
Congressional Grants agreement.
Recommendation: We recommended that the Organization review its reporting obligations and
ensure that all future filings are made in a timely manner.
Views of responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The Organization takes
reporting requirements seriously, filing reports on numerous grants, and attributes the unusual
occurrence of late filings to turnover in finance staff as well as the somewhat novel timelines in
the Organization’s first federal “earmark.” The Organization will review the process of
submitting reports to ensure the reporting deadlines are achieved in a timely manner.
