These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).” 2 CFR 200.512 requires that “the audit, the data collection form, and the reporting package must be submitted within 30 calendar days after the auditee receives the auditor’s report(s) or nine months after the end of the audit period (whichever is earlier).” Condition: The Organization’s internal controls, including cross-training of personnel in the event of an emergency, are not adequate to ensure that the audit, the data collection form, and the financial reporting package were submitted by the federal submission deadline. Questioned Costs: $0 Context: Total federal expenditures for Assistance Listing 93.575/93.596 were $12,499,030 for the year ended June 30, 2025.
