Finding Text

OTHER, THE NVT DID NOT SUBMIT THE REPORTING PACKAGE TIMELY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE REQUIREMENT OF SUBMITTING THE AUDIT WITHIN THE EARLIER OF 30 DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THE AUDIT REPORT, OR NINE MONTHS AFTER THE END OF THE AUDIT PERIOD. PER 2 CFR, SECTION 200.328 AND 200.329, THE COUNCIL MUST COMPLY WITH ANY FINANCIAL AND PROGRAMATTIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. PER SECTION 200.501, THE NVT MUST HAEV AN AUDIT PERFORMED AND SUBMITTED WITHIN 9 MONTHS OF YEAR END. NO QUESTIONED COSTS. MANAGEMENT DID NOT ENSURE THAT THE AUDITS WERE PERFORMED TIMELY. LATE REPORTING COULD JEOPARDIZE GRANT FUNDING. I RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNCIL ENSURE TIMELY AUDITS FOR FUTURE AUDITS. THIS FINDING WAS NOTED AS FINDING 2020-003 AND 2021-003.

Corrective Action Plan

Management has contracted with a contract accountant who has already started audit preparation services for future audits. The 2022 has been started and will be completed shortly. The 2023 audit will be started shortly. The Native Village expects to be fully caught up by their fiscal year 2025 audit.
