Finding Text
2024-003 - Reporting and Submission of Audited Financial Statements – Continuum of Care,
Assistance Listing Number 14.267, John H. Chafee Foster Care Programs for Successful Transition to
Adulthood, Assistance Listing Number 93.674 and Medicaid Cluster: Grants to States for Medicaid,
Assistance Listing Number 93.778:
Statement of Condition:
In accordance with provisions of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, the filing of the data collection form and submission
of audited financial statement to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse is to be completed within 9 months of the
fiscal year end. The Organization did not complete the filing within 9 months of the fiscal year ended June 30,
2023.
Criteria:
The filing of the data collection form and audited financial statement are due to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse
within 9 months after the end of the audit period.
Cause:
Due to turnover in accounting staff and errors in the general ledger reconciliations, the audited financial
statements were not completed timely.
Effect:
The required reporting was not completed until September 23, 2024.
Recommendation:
The Organization should put procedures in place to ensure accurate reporting of general ledger accounts so
reporting to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse can be completed within 9 months of the fiscal year end.
Management Response:
Management concurs with the finding. The Organization experienced significant turnover of accounting staff
during the audit period, which disrupted monthly reconciliation processes and contributed to delays in finalizing
the audited financial statements. These delays ultimately resulted in the late submission of required reporting to
the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.
The corrective actions in the first finding, along with taking steps to begin the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 audit
process earlier than in previous years, will allow additional time to complete the audit and meet federal filing
deadlines. Management is committed to ensuring timely reporting going forward, and will monitor progress
closely to ensure all future submissions are completed within the required timeframe.
