Finding Text
Condition During our current year reporting testing, we noted four instances where the Organization submitted annual reports related to grants for the Centers for Independent Living Program after the required 90-day deadline following the fiscal year-end. Questioned Costs N/A Criteria Per program requirements, management is responsible for filing annual reports within 90 days after the close of the fiscal year to maintain compliance with federal reporting guidelines.Cause The delays were primarily due to management oversight and a lack of formalized procedures to track and ensure timely submission. Effect of Condition Late submission of annual reports resulted in noncompliance with program requirements, which could impact the Organization’s standing with the funding agency and potentially affect future funding or grant renewals. Recommendation We recommend that the Board and management implement formal procedures and internal controls to ensure timely tracking and submission of required reports. This may include the use of a compliance calendar, assignment of responsibility to specific personnel, and regular monitoring to avoid future delays.
