Finding Text

Finding No. 2025-001: Late Submission of Reporting Package and Data Collection Form – Compliance and Other Matters Finding – ALN # 10.766 U.S. Department of Agriculture, Community Facilities Loans and Grants Criteria The Uniform Guidance requires that both the reporting package and the data collection form must be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) no later than the earlier of 30 days following receipt of the auditor’s reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. An extension beyond this timeframe is permissible only if it has been granted in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for audit. The submission requirement is deemed fulfilled by the Federal Audit Clearinghouse once it has received the electronic submission of both the data collection form and the complete reporting package. Condition The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended December 31, 2024 was not submitted to the FAC by the September 30, 2025 deadline. Cause There was turnover within the Organization. Effect The Organization was not in compliance with federal reporting requirements. Repeat Finding No. Recommendation We recommend that management continue its efforts to ensure that all filing requirements under federal awards are met.

Corrective Action Plan

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions Centre Care acknowledges the 2024 Uniform Guidance Audit report was submitted late to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Centre Care was in the process of negotiating with the USDA related to another loan agreement and financial statements were reissued to alleviate the going concern impacting the timing of reporting. In addition, our consulting team (CHR) incurred transition within the accounting team and as a result the reporting deadline was not communicated to the new team, and the reporting deadline was missed. Corrective Action Plan: Centre Care already remedied this issue in 2026 by submitting the reporting package and data collection form for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the data collection form process has been started for the December 31, 2025, audit and will be submitted upon finalizing the audit report in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements.
