Finding: 2025-002 CFDA Number: 14.218 Program Name: Community Development Block Grants Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Type of Finding: Federal Award Finding Compliance Requirement: Reporting Questioned Costs: N/A Criteria Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires that financial audits are completed and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition The Company's 2024 financial audit was submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse more than nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause The late submission of the Organization's financial audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse was primarily due to delays in management's preparation of the financial records. The accounting records were not finalized in a timely manner, which prevented the audit team from initiating audit procedures with sufficient time to meet the required submission deadline. Effect: The Company is out of compliance with the reporting requirements detailed in the Uniform Guidance. Recommendations: We recommend that policies and procedures be implemented to ensure the financial audit is submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. Management's Response Management is aware of the submission timeframe required by the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and will ensure audited financials are submitted timely going forward.
