Finding 2025-001 – Reporting – Late Data Collection Form Submission Condition: The audited financial statements were not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the due date of March 31, 2026. Questioned Costs: None. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.512, an entity expending more than $750,000 of federal funds within a fiscal year must submit the data collection form and reporting package by a due date that is the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report(s) or nine months after the year end of the audit period. Cause: We requested information relating to the completion of the audit. This information was not provided on a timely basis, causing the filing for that audit to be late. Effect: The School District was not in compliance with Uniform Guidance, which could lead to sanctions by the funding agencies. Recommendation: We recommend the School District organize and provide requested information on a timely basis to ensure completion of the audit by March 31 of each year. Views of Responsible Officials: The District was without a Business Manager for the audit period and as such relied on the Financial Consultant to submit the majority of audit information. The Consultant was unable to meet deadlines for submitting audit information. With the employment of a Business Manager for the 2025-26 fiscal year, the District is planning to be more timely with the submission of records to the audit firm.
