AI Summary

  • Core Issue: CMP is expected to submit the reporting package late, which violates federal guidelines.
  • Impacted Requirements: Late submission disqualifies CMP from being classified as a low-risk auditee.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: CMP should ensure timely submission of the reporting package to meet federal deadlines.

Finding Text

Finding 2025-001: Reporting Criteria: The Uniform Guidance states that the reporting package (which includes the audit reports) must be submitted no later than 30 days after the reports are received from the auditors but no later than nine months after the end of the audit period to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The Federal Audit Clearinghouse considers the submission requirement complete when it has received the electronic submission of both the data collection form and the reporting package. If the reporting package is late, a recipient is disqualified from being a low-risk auditee. Statement of Condition: CMP anticipates submitting the Data Collection Form for the year ended June 30, 2025, subsequent to the mandated deadline, which constitutes a late filing. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: Due to the size of CMP’s accounting staff and the volume of year-end reporting requirements, the federal reporting package was not submitted within the required timeframe. Effect: CMP was not able to adhere to the submission requirements in the Criteria section above. Recommendation: We recommend CMP adhere to these submission requirements

Corrective Action Plan

CMP will take the following actions to ensure timely submission in future years: •Submit the 2026 DCF within five (5) business days of receiving the final audit report. •Coordinate earlier with the external audit firm to establish mutually agreed-upon deadlines for key audit deliverables. •Implement an internal calendar to track critical reporting dates and milestones, beginning with the FY2026 audit cycle. •Assign a dedicated staff member to monitor audit progress and communicate regularly with the audit team to avoid last-minute delays.
