Finding Text

Condition: The Organization’s single audit reporting package for fiscal year 2024 was due on July 31, 2025. The data collection form and reporting package were submitted to the Federal Audit Clearing House (FAC) on September 3, 2025. Criteria: According to 2 CFR §200.512 (report submission), the audit reporting package and data collection form must be submitted to the FAC within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: Due to turnover in the fiscal office and an extended medical leave of absence by a key member of the finance team in fiscal year 2025, the audit was delayed for fiscal year 2024. Due to the delay, the audit report was not issued prior to the July 31, 2025 deadline and as such, the Organization was not able to submit the reporting package by the stipulated deadline. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the single audit reporting package deadline requirement. Recommendations: The Organization’s single audit reporting package has most always been filed timely in the past, and the late filing was due to unforeseen circumstances. The Organization could implement procedures to ensure the data collection form is filed by the 9 month deadline when unforeseen circumstances arise. Management Response: The Organization acknowledges that the FY2024 Single-Audit Reporting Package was submitted after the required deadline. The delay resulted from unforeseen circumstances that affected the submission process. Historically, the Organization has consistently filed its Single-Audit Reporting Package in a timely manner. As of March 10, 2026, the Organization has implemented new procedures which will ensure the reporting package is filed by the 9 month deadline, when unforeseen circumstances arise, which include if the CFO or Comptroller are both unable to file the form by the 9 month deadline, another member of the leadership team will be responsible for making sure the reporting package is filed in a timely manner.
