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.
