Finding Text
Criteria - In accordance with Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR § 200.512(a)(1), non-federal entities that are required to have a Single Audit must submit the audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receiving the auditors’ reports, or nine months after the end of the fiscal year. The non-federal entity is responsible for submitting the reporting package, which includes the Data Collection Form (DCF) and the required audit reports. Condition - Management did not submit the reporting package including the DCF for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, to the FAC by the deadline of September 30, 2025. Cause - The Town experienced delays in providing necessary information to the external auditors, which led to the late filing. Effect of Condition - Failure to submit the single audit on time is a violation of Federal regulations and will result in the Town not being a low-risk auditee for the next two audit periods. Statistical Sampling - The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Questioned Costs - None noted. Recommendation - Management should implement internal controls and procedures to ensure the timely submission of future reporting packages and the DCFs to the FAC. This should include establishing a project timeline and assigning responsibilities of key tasks to Town employees as necessary. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action - Management’s Response: Management will develop policies and procedures, and anticipates starting and completing the audit more timely in order to meet the required filing deadlines. Persons Responsible for Implementation: Marty Miller, Town Supervisor Implementation Date - December 31, 2026
