Management acknowledges that the required single audit report was not filed within the timeframe specified in 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F, § 200.512. Fiscal Year 2024 was the first year our organization exceeded the federal expenditure threshold that triggers a single audit requirement. It was our understanding that there was a change to the threshold from $750,000 to $1,000,000. Unfortunately, management misunderstood effective date was for fiscal year 2024 and not 2025. As a result, we incorrectly concluded that a single audit was not required for that year. Going forward, a new internal control has been established requiring annual verification and documentation of total federal expenditures and the applicability of the single audit threshold. The Finance Designee will complete this verification, which will then be formally reviewed and approved by the Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, management will initiate audit planning discussions with external auditors earlier in the fiscal year to confirm whether a single audit is required, ensuring timely preparation and compliance.
