Criteria: Per Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200, the single audit reporting package, and the data collection form (SF- SAC) must be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearing house within 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or 9 months after the end of the audit period, whichever comes first. Cause: There was a lack of established internal controls and procedures over the reporting process to ensure timely and accurate reporting. Effect: Organization was not in compliance with federal regulations and guidelines. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend the Organization attempt to meet the annual filing requirements.

Corrective Action Plan

Management's Response: Management acknowledges the finding. The delay in submitting the data collection form (SF-SAC) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse was due to inadequate internal controls over monitoring federal filing deadlines. Management has implemented a formal compliance calendar and assigned responsibility for tracking and submitting Single Audit reporting requirements. Management will also perform periodic reviews to ensure future filings are submitted timely in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Estimated Completion Date: 01/01/2026 Responsible Party: Shelly Swanson, Finance Manager
