Finding Text

Criteria - The Organization’s data collection form was not submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors' report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition - Code of Federal Regulations §200.512 requires the Organization to have the audit completed and the data collection form submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors' report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause - The Organization was not able to receive all required reportable information in a timely manner from third party specialists. Effect - Required submission deadlines were not met. Statistical Sampling - The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Recommendation - We recommend that the Organization work to ensure that all future reporting deadlines are met. Management’s Response - As a result of extraordinary turnover in accounting personnel during FY 2023-2024, there was a delay in our audit readiness. However, this issue was isolated to FY 2023-2024 and the accounting staff now consists of a well-qualified CFO and a full-time employee overseeing operations.
