Finding Text

Condition - Audit reports were not prepared and filed timely with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Criteria - Uniform Guidance requires the audit reports to be filed with the FAC within nine months after the end of the audit period (or by June 30). Cause - The City did not submit the audit reports to FAC within nine months. Effect - The City risks losing federal award funding. Questioned Costs - There are no questioned costs associated with the finding. Context - Issuance of prior year audit was delayed and contained material misstatements which caused delay in beginning current year audit and additional current year audit procedures. Repeat Finding - This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation - We recommend the City continue efforts to improve processes to ensure timely audit preparation and filings. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions - The City concurs with the finding and has provided a response in the Corrective Action Plan.

Corrective Action Plan

The City will continue to work with the auditing firm to make sure audits are completed by required deadlines. This includes providing requested information to the auditing firm in a timely manner.
