For the other, several amounts, including Cash Receipts, Cash Disbursements, and Recipient Share to Date, were mistakenly reported as $0 instead of reflecting the activity that had taken place throughout the life of the project. Cause Due to human error. Effect Reporting was not submitted accurately.
