Finding Text
Untimely Single Audit Filing Condition and criteria: The Organization did not submit their Single Audit Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 within nine months of the fiscal year end, as required by the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR § 200.512), resulting in a delinquent submission. Cause and Effect: There were inadequate internal controls in place regarding the audit process to ensure that timely submissions of the Single Audit report would be met. The delinquency may lead to the suspension or termination of federal funding, as well as potential penalties or corrective actions from the funding agency. Auditor’s Recommendations: The Organization should establish a system to closely monitor Single Audit deadlines, designate clear responsibilities for the audit process, and proactively communicate with the auditor to ensure timely completion and submission of the report. Organization’s Response: Management will work with the auditors to have the draft audit reports completed within one month of the field work and submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. At the next Board of Directors meeting, which will be no later than the report due, the drafts reports will be reviewed.
