Finding Text

Noncompliance with programmatic reporting Criteria: Management is responsible for submitting complete and accurate programmatic reports timely and ensuring the Organization adheres to programmatic enrollment requirements. Condition: During the audit, four of the programmatic reports tested were not submitted by the required 10-day deadline. Additionally, one of the reports indicate the Organization did not meet the minimum enrollment requirements for the grant year ended June 30, 2024. Effect of Condition: The Organization’s programmatic reports were not submitted timely and did not meet minimum enrollment requirements. Cause of Condition: Significant turnover in the program’s director and supervisory roles during the year caused late programmatic reports to be submitted. This turnover also contributed to lower enrollments for the program due to lack of engagement. Recommendation: Santa Maria Community Services, Inc. and Subsidiary should implement the necessary internal controls and oversight to ensure programmatic reporting requirements are adhered to in the event of personnel turnover. Management’s Response: See corrective action plan on page 28.
