Finding Text
Finding Type: Significant deficiency and noncompliance Federal Program: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds- ALN 21.027 Criteria: Per 2 CFR 200.328 (Financial Reporting) and the grant agreement, the auditee is required to submit financial status reports on a quarterly basis within 30 days of the end of the quarter. Condition: During our testing of the reporting requirement, we noted instances in which the SLFRF compliance quarterly reports for the periods ending March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 were not submitted on time to the federal awarding agency. Cause: For one reporting period, submission of the quarterly compliance report was delayed due to management identifying the need to make an adjustment prior to submission to ensure the accuracy of the reported information. For the second reporting period, submission was delayed due to a system outage that prevented management from submitting the report through the reporting portal by the required deadline. Effect: Failure to submit timely reports prevents the awarding agency from properly monitoring the grant program, leading to potential restrictions on future funding. Questioned Costs: None Recommendation: We recommend that the County implement procedures to help ensure required reports are submitted timely. View of responsible Officials: Management agrees with finding and will take appropriate steps to remedy noted finding.
