REPORTABLE NONCOMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS – ALL FEDERAL PROGRAMS AWARDED UNDER THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE 2024-007 - Federal Reporting Deadline Criteria – 2CFR Part 200, Subpart F, § 200.512(a)(1) requires the District’s audited Schedule of Expenditures Federal Awards (SEFA) and federal reporting package to be submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor’s report(s), or 9 months after the end of the audit period. Condition – The District’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, were not submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse within nine months after the end of the audit period.

Context – The District’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, were not submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse by the federal reporting deadline.

Effect – The delay in the completion of the District’s financial audit for the year ended June 30, 2024, prevented the submission of the required information to the federal audit clearinghouse in a timely manner. Recommendation – We recommend the District ensure the timely submission of its audited SEFA and federal reporting package to the federal audit clearinghouse in the future.
