Finding Text
Criteria: Refugee Support Services must submit the 1571 reimbursement report by the 10th day of the following month whether or not there are expenses that can be reimbursed. Questioned Costs: $36,133. Effect: Two 1571 Reimbursement reports were submitted late with no extension obtained which meant that Refugee Support Services was not in compliance with Uniform Guidance. Cause: Refugee Support Services had a significant amount of turnover during the year, including multiple Executive Directors. As a result reports were not always submitted timely or extensions were not obtained. Recommendation: Management should ensure that all required reports are submitted timely and if they are unable to be submitted timely extensions are obtained. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Refugee Support Services of the Carolinas Inc. agrees with this finding and will adhere to the corrective action plan as referenced in the accompanying table of contents in this audit report.
