Finding Text

#2025-003 – Major Federal Award Finding – Reporting Nature of Finding: Compliance Finding Reporting and Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance Criteria/Condition: Federal regulations 2 CFR 200.328 - 200.329 provide that required reporting under the federal program must be completed timely and accurately. The federal award agreement includes specific report filing due dates. We noted during testing of 12 different required reports, including both financial and performance reports, that 2 of these reports tested were not filed in a timely manner. Cause/Context: Controls were not in place to ensure timely reporting. Two performance reports tested were submitted one day late. Effect: A lack of controls could result in late or missed reporting. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization establish procedures and controls to ensure financial and performance reports are filed timely. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Organization’s program leadership is playing a more active role in reporting and compliance and is actively involving directors of programs in the process of reporting.
