2024-002 Reporting
Criteria: Due to the level of federal funding received, the Organization was required to have a Federal single
audit. The deadline to submit the single audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse is the earlier of 1) 30 calendar
days after receipt of the audit report, and 2) nine months after the end of the audit period.
Condition: As of the date of our audit report, the Organization has not completed the Federal Audit Clearinghouse
submission for fiscal year 2024. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization continue to bring accounting records up-to-date and
submit the late filings as soon as possible after receiving the final audit report. Additionally, we recommend that
the Organization begin to file their reporting submissions in a timely manner.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: HSNY was unable to submit monthly claims for
their primary grant due to delays with New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA)
drafting and approving a contract for the period. While OTDA guaranteed appropriation of the funds to HSNY,
without a contract in place, HSNY was unable to submit claims for payment for the period through June 30, 2024
until the contract was approved in May 2025. Changes to the submittal process implemented by OTDA further
delayed HSNY’s ability to timely submit claims for approval. This missing information causes an issue closing
the year end books. To address the problem, management has requested OTDA prepare these contracts on a
timely basis in the future and to prioritize any claims submitted for approval so that HSNY can catch up.
