Finding Text

Finding #2024-002 – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Criteria: Reporting – Row House CDC is required to submit the Data Collection Form (DCF) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) by the earlier of 30 days from report issuance or 9 months after the fiscal year-end, as required by 2 CFR §200.512(a). Condition and context: Row House CDC’s single audit reporting package for fiscal year 2023 including the completed DCF, was submitted to the FAC approximately 1 year after the deadline. The single audit reporting package for fiscal year 2024 including the completed DCF is expected to be submitted approximately 6 months late. Cause: The late submission occurred due to a delay in completing the independent audits. Effect: The delayed filing caused Row House CDC to be out of compliance with the FAC requirements. Recommendation: Row House CDC should develop a schedule of critical dates for completion of the single audit leading up to the FAC deadline. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.
