Type of Finding: (G) Instance of Non-compliance related to Federal Awards and (H) Other Non-compliance Required to be Reported per Section 12-6-5 NMSA 1978 Funding Agency: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Title: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) AL #: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Award #: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Award Period: All (see Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Questioned Costs: None Statement of Condition The County’s year ended June 30, 2024, data collection form was submitted to the Federal Audit clearinghouse database on April 19, 2025, and was due by March 31, 2025. Management’s Progress Toward Prior Year Corrective Action Plan: Significant progress was achieved during the year ended June 30, 2025, and the data collection form is expected to be submitted on time for that period. Criteria Per 2 CFR 200.512(a)(1), Report Submission: The audit must be completed and the data collection form described in paragraph (b) of this section and reporting package described in paragraph (c) of this section must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the reporting package is due the next business day. Cause The County audit was not completed in a timely manner in order to submit the data collection form within the 9-month period after year ended June 30, 2024. Effect Not submitting the data collection form denies access to the public and grantor agencies which could lead in loss of funding needed. Recommendation The County should work with the auditors to ensure the audit is submitted within a time frame that allows the data collection form to be submitted prior to the nine-month period following the close of the fiscal year.
