Finding Text
Criteria: In order to comply with filing of reports with the Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector (State Auditor), management needs to appropriately monitor the timing of the submission of the filing of the audit report within six months after the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) submission should occur the earlier of nine months subsequent to year end or 30 days from report issuance. Condition: The City did not submit its audit report to the State Auditor prior to the deadline of six months after the end of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. Additionally, the City did not submit its audit report to the FAC within nine months from year ending June 30, 2023. Cause and Effect: Due to delayed financial reporting close out of fiscal year 2023 the City was not in compliance with its required deadline to provide the State Auditor and the FAC with its issued audit report within the established deadlines. Recommendation: We recommend the internal controls for reporting be reviewed to allow for compliance with the State Auditor and FAC established deadlines. Management Response: Management recognizes the need to submit its single audit reports to the State Auditor and FAC in accordance with the required deadlines in order to remain compliant with requirements. Management has made Professional Services changes to ensure timely audit compliance moving forward.
