Finding Text

2024-003 Submitting Single Audit Package on time Condition: The Organization did not submit its Single Audit Package to the Federal Audit Clearing House in a timely manner as required by federal regulations. Criteria: The absence of the audit being completed in a timely manner did not allow the Organization to submit the Single Audit Package on a timely basis. Cause: The Organization did not complete the financial statement audit and related reporting processes in sufficient time to submit the Single Audit Reporting Package within the timeframe required under Uniform Guidance. Effect: The late submission of the Single Audit Package is a violation of federal regulations and impairs grantor agencies’ ability to monitor federally funded programs. As a result, the Organization is designated a high-risk auditee until it accomplished timely submission of its Single Audit Package for two consecutive years. Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend the Organization submit its Single Audit Reporting Package to the FAC no later than 9 months after the fiscal year-end. Grantee Response: Management agrees with the finding. Delays in completing the financial statement audit and resolving accounting matters resulted in the Organization’s inability to submit the required reporting package within the timeframe required under Uniform Guidance. Management is working with its auditors and internal accounting personnel to improve the timing of year-end closing procedures and audit preparation in order to facilitate timely filing in future periods.

Corrective Action Plan

Management concurs with the findings. Delays in the completion of the year-end financial close process, audit preparation, and related reporting requirements contributed to the untimely submission. Management recognizes the importance of timely compliance with federal reporting requirements and is committed to strengthening procedures to ensure future submissions are completed within the prescribed deadlines. Corrective Action Plan: • Develop a comprehensive audit and reporting timeline and checklist that identifies key milestones for year-end closing, financial statement preparation, audit fieldwork, management review, and Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission. • Establish internal deadlines that precede regulatory due dates to allow adequate time for review, corrections, and final submission. • Strengthen coordination between finance personnel and external auditors through periodic planning meetings and status updates throughout the audit process.
