#2025-005: Grant Program: All Programs Included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards – Assistance Listing # – Various – Data Collection Form Compliance Condition: The Center did not submit the Data Collection Form (DCF) and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the required timeframe for both fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2025. Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.512(b), the Center must submit the completed DCF and the reporting package to FAC within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the Auditors’ report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. Context: The DCF for the year ended June 30, 2024, was not timely filed during the year ended June 30, 2025. At the time of completion of the audit for the year ended June 30, 2025, the deadline for submission of March 31, 2026, had passed and the DCF is considered not timely filed. Cause: The late submission was due to delays in finalizing the audits. Effect: Failure to submit the DCF timely may delay Federal Agencies’ access to audit results and could impact the Center’s eligibility for future funding. Additionally, an untimely filed DCF results in high-risk auditee status. Recommendation: We recommend the Center implement procedures to ensure timely submission of the DCF and reporting package, including establishing internal deadlines ahead of the federal due date for audit completion. Management Response: See Corrective Action Plan.
