Single Audit Report Submission – Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance and Noncompliance (Repeat of finding 2022‐003) Condition: The auditee did not submit its Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the required timeframe. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR §200.512(a), the auditee must submit the data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: The delay occurred due to delayed completion of audited financial statements. Effect: Failure to submit the Single Audit report timely represents noncompliance with federal reporting requirements and may result in federal agencies designating the auditee as a high‐risk entity, potential delays in future federal funding, or additional oversight by granting agencies. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend management implement procedures to ensure the Single Audit reporting package is completed, reviewed, and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. This could include developing a formal year‐end close schedule, assigning responsibility for the submission process, and maintaining a checklist with submission deadlines and requirements.
