Finding Text

Federal Assistance Listing Number - 93.959 - Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse Criteria: The Data Collection Form is required to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse ("FAC") within nine months of year end (2 CFR 200.512(a)(2). Condition: The Data Collection Form was not submitted to the FAC within the nine-month period for the year ended June 30, 2025. Effect: The Corporation was not in compliance with the requirement to complete the filing required by the Uniform Guidance within nine months of its year end, and therefore, the Corporation cannot be considered a low risk auditee for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2027. Context: When performing our audit we noted the Data Collection Form submission to the FAC was not filed on a timely basis. Cause: There were personnel changes within the Corporation, which caused delays in concluding the audit on a timely basis. Recommendation: We recommend the Corporation's Data Collection Form submission to the FAC be filed within nine months of its fiscal year end as required. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Corporation concurs with the recommendation. See attached Correction Action Plan.

Corrective Action Plan

August 11, 2026 Person responsible: Beatrice Chen, Executive Director Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Section III – Federal Awards Findings and Questioned Costs Item 2025 – 001 Federal Assistance Listing Number: 93.959 Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse Condition The Organization’s Data Collection Form submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse was not filed on time within nine months of the end of its fiscal year. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Although a new consulting firm was engaged to complete the June 30, 2025 financial statement audit and ensure filing of the June 30, 2025 was completed within nine months of the end of the fiscal year, additional time was needed to complete accurate fiscal records for the year ended June 30, 2025. Monthly closings and fiscal records reconciliations for the year ending June 30, 2026, are being conducted on a timely basis. As a result, we are expecting an on-time filing of the Data Collection form for the year ended June 30, 2026. Best regards, Beatrice Chen Executive Director Immigrant Social Services, Inc.
