Finding Text

Criteria In accordance with 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 200.512, the Organization must submit its single audit reporting package and data collection form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditors’ report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition The Organization did not submit its single audit reporting packages and Data Collection Forms (Form SFSAC) for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the required due dates. Cause The Organization did not have adequate procedures to ensure the timely filing of the Single Audit Reporting Package and Data Collection Form to FAC. Effect Late filing has resulted in noncompliance with timely submission of financial information to grantor agencies. Recommendation We recommend that the Organization improve its financial reporting process to ensure compliance with the reporting requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, which requires that the single audit reporting package and data collection form be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 days after the receipt of the auditors’ report, or nine months after the end of the audit report, unless a longer period of time is agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for the audit. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action We were not able to submit the financials on time because we lost our previous auditors in 2021. It took some time to find a new company that handles HUD audit. Going forward, we will strive to get back to our normal schedule at the soonest time and get back in compliance.

Corrective Action Plan

We were not able to submit the financials on time because we lost our previous auditors in 2021. It took some time to find a new company that handles HUD related audits. Going forward, we will work on getting back to our normal audit schedule to get back in compliance at the soonest possible time.
