Information on Federal Program:
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
ALN Number: 93.959
ALN Name: Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse
Contract Period: 07/1/2023 – 06/30/2024
Criteria:
According to the Administrative and Fiscal Requirements for Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) Funded Providers, service providers are required to submit an annual Consolidated Fiscal Report (CFR) and will be considered non-compliant with OASAS Consolidated Fiscal Reporting requirements if it fails to electronically file a CFR for a given annual fiscal reporting period no later than December 1st, following the fiscal year end. SCAN-Harbor received an informal extension from OASAS to submit the CFR for the reporting period ended June 30, 2024, with a deadline of January 15, 2025.
Condition:
During our audit, we noted that the CFR for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, was not filed and submitted to OASAS timely.
Cause:
Due to the system changes at the New York city funding agencies, there was a delay in submitting claims, which impacted the timing and preparation of the financial statements needed to complete the CFR.
Effect:
Service providers who do not file its required CFR submission on a timely basis may be subject to withholding of future Federal funding advances.
Questioned Costs:
None noted.
Context:
This condition was noted per review of SCAN-Harbor’s compliance with reporting requirements.
Repeated Finding:
This is not a repeated finding.
Recommendation:
We recommend that SCAN-Harbor submit the CFR timely.
Views of Responsible Officials:
SCAN-Harbor agrees with the federal award finding identified in the audit. SCAN-Harbor’s response to this finding is described in the accompanying management’s planned corrective actions, Appendix A.
