Finding Text
Submission of the Audit Reporting Package and Data Collection Form (Repeat of Finding 2024-007) Federal Agency: Various Assistance Listing Number: Multiple Compliance Requirement: Reporting Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.510(b), the auditee must prepare a Schedule of Expenditures Federal Awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements. Per §200.512(a), the SEFA must be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the required deadline. Condition: The audit reporting package and data collection form for the year ended June 30, 2025, was not submitted to the FAC within the timeframe as required by the Uniform Guidance. Cause: The Organization did not timely submit the audit reporting package and data collection form due to delays in completing the FY25 audit. The delayed completion of the FY24 audit caused a cascading impact on the timing of the FY25 audit. Effect: To qualify as a low-risk auditee, 2 CFR section 200.520 requires the audit reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the FAC by the due date for each of the previous two years. Late filing will result in noncompliance with timely submission of financial information to the grantor agencies. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization develop and monitor a formal audit timeline that accounts for the audit reporting package and data collection form submission deadlines to help ensure future filings are submitted in accordance with federal requirements. Questioned Costs: None Responsible Official's Response: CMJTS acknowledges the delay and has been making improvements to ensure that the Audit Reporting package and Data Collection Form are submitted timely and accurately. Accounting staff have been given additional training and internal procedures have been updated. Continued ongoing training and procedure updates will be done to ensure compliance.
