Identifying Number: 2022-003 - Late Audit Reporting
Finding: Under 45 CFR Part 75.512, the Uniform Guidance requires that audits are submitted by the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. The Organization did not complete and submit their audit for the year ended September 30, 2022 to
the federal clearinghouse until January 2024.
Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Poor accounting systems require intense manual processing and prevent timely completion of year and audit required items. Due to the timing of the engagement the 2022 audit was started late, repeated changes in information submitted and tight audit personnel availability combined to further delay the audit. Our new accounting system and the second year with our current auditor will break this cycle. Fiscal year 2023’s audit will be conducted with an audit schedule planned to include starting earlier and to include pre-year-end close audit work in future years.
Responsible Official: Michael Vazquez, CFO.
Actual or Anticipated Completion Date: Fiscal year 2023 audit is expected to be completed by June 30, 2024.
