Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending ‐ Construction – Assistance Listing No. 93.493 Recommendation: We recommend that the Association implement formal policies and procedures requiring the tracking and submission of performance reports within the required timeframe. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The late submission of OARN's Semi-Annual Progress Reports is directly related to the current EHB report format. This format is challenging because it requires specific, unique answers for each of our 19 sites but only provides fields for 10. This limitation makes accurate and comprehensive reporting impossible, as the correct response is unique to each site. While we have collaborated with EHB to modify the format, the submission is still restricted to 10 sites. Consequently, for the most recent reporting period, we completed the electronic submission for the initial 10 sites and submitted a separate emailed document containing the progress information for the remaining 9 sites. Moving forward, until the report format is permanently changed, we plan to continue using this two-part submission strategy to ensure timely reporting.
