Finding Text

2025-008 - Late Submission of Single Audit Reporting Package and Data Collection Form Finding Type: Noncompliance. Criteria: The Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.512(a)(1)) requires that the audit, data collection form, and reporting package be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the required submission deadline was March 31, 2026. Condition: The City did not submit the data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the required deadline of March 31, 2026. Cause: This condition is the result of delays in completing the audit and finalizing the reporting package for submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect: As a result of this condition, the City was not in compliance with Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Continued noncompliance may result in increased Federal oversight. Recommendation: The City should implement procedures to ensure that the data collection form and reporting package are submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. Management Response: See Corrective Action Plan.

Corrective Action Plan

The City acknowledges the finding. The delayed completion of the audit process contributed to the untimely submission of the reporting package and Data Collection Form. Federal reporting deadlines have been incorporated into the City’s annual compliance calendar, and management will continue coordinating earlier completion of audit deliverables and required submissions. Future submissions will be monitored to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance deadline requirements.
