Condition: When the auditors were engaged to complete the audit, there was not adequate time to complete the audit and data collection form within the nine month deadline. Cause: Historically, the audit and data collection form have been filed late so current year information was not available in a timely manner to conduct and finalize an audit. Effect: The delinquent filing of the audit and data collection form resulted in the Organization not being in compliance with the reporting requirements of the grant. There are no questioned costs as a result of failing to meet this requirement. Recommendation: Management should file any delinquent reports and make plans to file them timely in the future as required by the grant. Reviews of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the auditor's recommendation and the following action was taken to improve the situation. In late 2023, a new auditor was engaged to conduct the 2022 audit so that the delinquent forms could be filed and take steps to prepare the information for future audits so that they can be filed timely. The 2023 audit will also be filed late but it was filed signifiantly earlier tahn the previous year.
