No Condition The District did not submit the single audit reporting package and related data collection form by the required deadline. Criteria The Uniform Guidance section 500.512 states: "...The audit must be completed and the data collection form....and reporting package....must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports, or nine months after the end of the audit period."

Further, for major programs supporting documentation should be reviewed to determine if any corrections need to be made or additional support need to be obtained.
